Solo Swordmaster

#934. Greetings

* * *

Monster Wave.

Starlight covers the whole sky.

A phenomenon that occurred when monsters suddenly emerged from the dungeon and attacked humans at random.

That sudden disaster turned the whole world upside down.

Although the majority of monsters were defeated in Sao Paulo, most of them eventually came from the continent of South America.

Only a handful of flying-type and marine-type monsters were able to cross the sea.

In the end, the remaining monsters swept through each continent as they were.

The running eagle and the five princesses roamed around the world to defeat the monsters, but it was rectified in the end.

It prevented additional damage, but it was impossible to eliminate the damage that had already occurred.

So it was.

After clearing their territory.

The reason why the faces of the princesses who finally gathered again in Quetzalcoatl were dark.

“…You mean that even Africa suffered great damage.”

“okay. Fortunately, Egypt was fine, but the other regions lacked the ability to stop high-level players.”

Li Qingyu closed his eyes.

As much as it is made up of numerous warlords.

Except for the United States of America and the Russian Khanate, Africa is a place where there is no place comparable in military power.

It was an unexpected result that even the place guarded by such a warlord could not stop the monsters.

It was unavoidable.

The opponents of the military are always people.

Equipped with weapons for interpersonal warfare, it was a threat to most high-level players, but on the contrary, it was powerless against monsters that did not work with firearms.

Even more so in a situation where such monsters flock in hundreds and thousands of units from each country.

Of course, it was the same elsewhere.

“London and the British Empire were fortunately unharmed, but the damage was great in Europe as well.”

“The Holy Alliance also suffered damage in the periphery. It was force majeure.”

“In South America, monsters are concentrated only in Sao Paulo, so the situation is relatively better, but there are several places that have been unluckily swept away.”

“We’re okay with the kids responding well, but there are still damages.”

Europe Middle East South America Russia.

After hearing the situation in other regions, Li Qingyu looked back at the last princess with heavy eyes.

“…How about the North American continent?”

“It’s nothing to worry about.”

“huh? how?”

Catherine tilted her head at Charlotte’s languid reply, and the other princesses also made puzzled faces.

Unlike other continents where the princess organized her own territory, the North American continent, where Charlotte was tied to Brazil, was expected to suffer great damage.

Charlotte responded to them with a disapproving expression.

“It looks like the Continental Guardians were running around hard.”

“Ah…”

“…I see.”

they agreed

The Continental Guardians, which have a large number of Unryeongsa, are a powerful organization that has fought against the Seven Dragons in their own way.

If they actively supported it, it wouldn’t have been difficult to clean up the monsters that swept the North American continent.

Of course, it was unexpected that they, who had been at odds with the Golden Dragon clan for a long time, cooperated like this…

“It seems that the words that they would be subjugated to the swordsmith weren’t a lie.”

“Hmm, anyway, it’s a ploy to pay off at least a little of the debt that saved the Indian Territory.”

Charlotte snorted.

The fact that she received help from others in defending her territory was an insult to her pride.

But thanks to that, it was an undeniable fact that the monster wave was stopped.

Li Qingyu muttered bitterly.

“It’s fortunate that the damage was less than expected.”

“…I don’t know if you can call this a small amount, though.”

To Rose’s heavy point.

The other princesses also made complicated expressions.

It was considered a great power in its own way, and even the territory of the Seven Dragons, which each clan was guarding, was on the verge of damage.

There was no need to even mention the case of a weak country with weak military power.

In particular, in the case of areas on the periphery or where evacuation was delayed, there were not one or two places where residents were completely swept away along with the village.

There are currently only a few million confirmed casualties.

Ultimately, it was estimated to be in the tens of millions.

That kind of damage was done in just one day, so I couldn’t be happier.

“The collapse of the World Federation must also have an effect.”

Hasneti pointed out coolly.

In the first place, the enemies of monsters are high-level players.

Originally, each country’s strength alone would have been enough to counter the monster wave.

The problem is that most of the top 10 guilds collapsed through the fight with Limon and the Seven Dragons from the year before last, and most of the high-level players died.

And as the players who lost their focal point dispersed, the number of supermen who could systematically fight decreased.

The increase in damage caused by the monster wave was not insignificant due to the confusion.

However, there was a princess who firmly denied Hasneti’s opinion.

“No, that’s not it. If they had stayed anyway, the damage would have only been greater in the end.”

“…I want to know if it’s the Constellation’s puppet.”

“yes. They are players after all.”

“Isn’t that too extreme? There were only a handful of players who were actually ruled by the Constellation.”

As long as the seal of the Constellation is broken.

Players are potential enemies.

Rose objected to Li Qingyu, who said it clearly.

Some players have betrayed in Sao Paulo, but they are few and far between.

They were only a fraction of the number of players around the world.

However, the voice that followed clearly denied her claim.

“No, Li Qingyu is right.”

“…Salot, do you think players will eventually become our enemies?”

“Didn’t you know that killing a dragon is not an army of a million, but your own arrogance?”

“…”

Rose was silent.

It was because Charlotte’s words, who actually fought against the puppet of the Constellation, had persuasive power that could not be ignored.

The problem was that the number of people who could not be trusted was extremely reduced.

This is the Iron Age.

It was an era when players were the mainstream.

If all players were excluded, the number of humans who could face the monsters was extremely reduced.

Ten thousand soldiers are not enough to protect the people, but ten traitors are enough to break down the walls.

ding.

So it was a time when everyone was lost in thought.

Shortly after the sound of the arrival of the elevator rang, a familiar figure appeared in the floating garden.

“Sorry for being late.”

“No, we were just in too much of a hurry.”

“That’s right. Never mind.”

A new white-haired man.

The seven princesses naturally welcomed Limon.

Before he made all the princesses his brides, participating in the Seven Dragons was not new, but a matter of course.

Rather, it was unusual that we started discussing it even before Limon came.

So it was.

While welcoming Limon.

The reason why they couldn’t help but be silent as they saw the figure behind him.

“Um… you all probably already know this, but let me formally introduce you.”

“…”

“This is my last disciple and new bride swordsman Anastasia.”

What came over the garden at that moment was a heavy silence.

The expressionless Ainsha.

Li Qingyu kept his mouth shut.

Rose lost her faint smile.

Hasneti with a cold face.

Charlotte snorted lightly.

Maia slightly raised her eyebrows.

Even Yekathrice, who twisted her lips.

All the princesses looked intently at Anastasia, the silver-haired beauty who followed Limon.

It was natural.

All of them are Limon’s brides.

This is because he was not willing to welcome this situation where a new woman appeared to his beloved.

All the more in the fact that, like the descendents of dragons who are born with a strong desire for monopoly, they do not have the slightest intention to yield in the battle for rank as brides.

Even the running repairman, who is now fast asleep in one corner of the garden, is fighting a war of nerves with them.

It was obvious that Anastasia, who had wanted to become Limon’s bride since her lifetime and had faced the Seven Dragons, would engage in a war of nerves even more.

So it was.

right after that.

The reason why they had no choice but to make subtle expressions.

Seruk.

“My concubine Anastasia greets the wives of the Chamber of Commerce.”

“….”

Kneeling down naturally.

Both hands brought together on the floor.

Even the forehead attached to the back of the hand.

They even blinked for a moment when they saw Anastasia, who went beyond greeting and bowed to them from the first meeting.

Ainsha asked with an expressionless face.

“…Question. I want to know if you mean to acknowledge us as Lee’s brides.”

“Please take it easy on me. Since the High Court has already made you his wife, how dare a concubine discuss your qualifications?”

“…”

Truly the pinnacle of politeness.

rather than acknowledging themselves.

On the contrary, seeing the swordsman acting like a concubine who came to greet his wife, the girls made more subtle expressions.

The superhuman of superhumans, the Sword Master.

This is because no one expected that the swordsman, who was even the last Russian royal family and empress, would show such an attitude.

“Heung, it seems like you know that swordsmithing is too much for you.”

At least Charlotte accepted her greeting as if it was natural with her characteristic arrogance…

“It’s as you say.”

“…”

“Rather, I feel sorry for you all for becoming a bride in the sky, so please accept it broadly.”

It sounds like you’re actually right.

While everyone is silent as they see Anastasia bowing her head again and asking for forgiveness.

Rose looked at Limon with a puzzled face.

“…Swordsmith?”

“Don’t look at me like that, Count. It’s not what I did.”

Limon scratched his cheek.

This was Anastasia’s voluntary act.

Rather, he convinced her that it was not necessary to go this far.

But to no avail.

Among the seven disciples, he was the most loyal to Limon’s teachings, but at the same time stubborn, pointing his sword at him to keep his will.

Anastasia, with her unique stubbornness, eventually made Limon give up.

Because of that, they couldn’t help but feel more awkward.

It would have been better if Anastasia had engaged in a battle of ranks by force or by citing her relationship with Limon.

I was the first to bow myself down like this, so I didn’t know what to do.

But there are exceptions everywhere.

“Huh, what if we don’t accept you?”

Yekathrice had a wicked smile on her face.

I don’t know if it’s another princess.

As the princess of the Silver Dragon Clan, who had been fighting and exploited since Anastasia’s lifetime, she had many reasons to act violently.

But…

“I beg you.”

“…to beg?”

“Please tell me to kiss the instep or to work like a slave.”

“….”

“Especially the princess of the Silver Dragon Clan, who suffered great damage from the foolishness of the concubine, deserves it.”

“…”

“So, please allow the girl to stay by the side of the sky.”

It’s like it’s never a joke.

Get down on your knees and be most polite.

That’s why it’s rather violent in that it never allows refusal. Listen to Anastasia’s polite plea and be silent for a moment.

Yekathrice turned her head.

And with a really shy face, he said to Limon.

“…Your brother’s disciple is really good?”

I’m really curious about how you taught alternative swordplay.

To Yekathrice’s honest question, Limon had no choice but to answer with a sigh.
