“I lost, I lost. So, catch Maxwell before it’s too late.”

After being attacked by the swords that were planning to catch Maxwell.

I decided to use these wild dogs like hunting dogs.

You can hunt alone, but if wild dogs interfere with your hunting, you have no choice but to hire them.

However, he made it clear that the honor of distributing food would only go to one sword.

Additionally, since it is a bad thing for a sandfish to lose its prey due to excessive competition, excessive sabotage is unavoidable.

He set the rules, accepted the swords, and left for Radevar with his forces.

“Now that everyone has left, let’s begin the interrogation!”

[hearing? who?]

“Who would it be? It’s you.”

[Hmm? Did I do something wrong… ?]

Can you take a look at this guy?

Even though he was the culprit who committed the crime, his continued ignorance was truly shameless.

“You mean it comes out like that?”

[I’m not sure!]

Who was the owner of the hand that pushed my chest at the time when I was blinded by ICL?

And why did the swords not fall and the tent ropes cut after being struck by my sword?

If you look for the reason, you will come to a very simple conclusion.

“I don’t know what I don’t know! You are the culprit of the commotion that happened just now!”

First of all, Alaina and Scathach were behind me, so they were excluded from the list of suspects, and since Icl was also hanging, of course he was excluded.

So that means that the only person who pushed my chest was Lips, but as it happened, I had a strong suspicion that it wasn’t her.

The height difference between me and you.

If the small lips had pushed me out, it would have been my stomach.

There was no reason to lift my heel or jump up and push away.

“If I remember correctly, I remember that your polymorph form was slightly shorter than mine.”

[No, I will exercise my right to remain silent!]

“If that was all I had, I wouldn’t have said a word.”

He clearly swung the sword with his will.

It was normal for the slash to bend and shock the swords around it.

However, since she ended up cutting the wrong tent strings, this was probably Stella’s fault as well.

You can think of it as the sword’s will ignoring my will.

“The position of your hand on my chest, the tent straps, and even the timing when you escaped my grasp. Are you still planning on getting away with this?”

[…] … lol.]

“That smile can be taken as positive, right?”

[We’ve already caught everything, so what’s the point of pretending it’s not happening?]

“So why did you do that?”

[Cupid of Love!]

“… … You don’t really mean it, do you?”

[Of course I’m joking! My goal is to make Maxwell miserable, and I personally have someone I want to scold!]

“… … You’re probably not referring to me, right?”

[no way! Anyway, I don’t do that to the owner who is always grateful!]

“Then that’s good, but what’s the connection between you harassing someone and causing me trouble?”

[I’ll tell you later! Capturing Maxwell is the priority now!]

“Like that again… … . No, you’re right. We have to catch that guy first.”

It is not too late to interrogate Maxwell after catching him.

It’s not like Stella will leave my side anyway.

[So how do you plan to find it?]

“Knights with excellent mobility, flying dragons, bandits with countless manpower, etc. Although I don’t have a separate force, I have elements that allow me to boast that I am superior to them.”

[flesh?]

“It’s not wrong, but it’s different.”

[Then what is it?]

“This is it.”

I smiled brightly and stuck out my tongue slightly.

***

‘Just a little bit further… ! If you hold on just a little longer… !’

Radevar, a port city bordering the sea.

After the hideout was destroyed by Sephira, Maxwell escaped from the port city but returned to Radevar again.

As the saying goes, the criminal returns to the scene, so he hid in the port city.

The purpose was to take a ship to another continent, so he went into a lighthouse close to the ship and hid under the stairs.

‘You’ll never find it here!’

Not only were there few people who inspected the lighthouse, but Maxwell used a magic tool that changed its appearance.

Even if you try to find eyewitness accounts, it is impossible, and even if you entered the lighthouse, it is not easy to think that there would be an additional space under the stairs.

Maxwell proudly took out his ticket, saying it was a perfect concealment.

The fifth ship among the ships departing today.

The reason for boarding the ship in a haphazard manner was decided to take into account the possibility that the pursuer would deeply search the ship.

In the case of a ship leaving for the first time, I expected to search all over the interior to find it.

The next ship that would leave would be the same, but Maxwell thought that due to fatigue from the search, he would not check the ships that searched later in detail.

It was a pretty elaborate idea, but unfortunately, his timing was not good.

The pursuers’ representative became involved with Ryan, temporarily putting a stop to the search.

If Maxwell had boarded the first ship without thinking too much, he could have escaped safely.

In the end, he ended up being the victim of his own trick.

‘I’ll soon be able to escape this horrible place…’ !’

Maxwell hated port cities.

In the summer, it was hot as if I was in a steam room, and in the winter, the strong sea breeze made my whole body cold.

You have to smell the fishy smell of seafood every day and the bar is full of sailors so it’s never quiet.

It is a far cry from the tastes of Maxwell, who enjoyed leisurely time shaking a wine glass in his luxurious mansion.

If he hadn’t been close to the demon spirit, he would have left long ago.

‘It would be better to go to the Demon Territory to completely escape the chase… … After all, those horned guys can’t be trusted.’

Although we have formed an alliance, we never know when they may turn our backs.

Business relationships were like that, so Maxwell chose to flee to the East first.

‘If you succeed in escaping, you will have a chance.’

The departure time written on the ticket soon arrived and it was time to come out of the lighthouse.

Maxwell crawled out from under the dark stairs.

In the end, no one was able to find the hiding place where he was hiding.

Maxwell was flattered by that fact, so he threw open the door and came out.

‘If you act confidently, you will be less suspicious!”

Maxwell was confident that his plan to choose the fifth ship would also succeed.

Under the hot sunlight, he witnessed hell.

“Ugh, hmm?!”

The burning port city of Radevar.

The city, with its impressive embroidered white buildings, was now burning brightly with bright red flames.

“Let the flame of purification burn away all evil!”

“Kiyatho! I will burn every last thing!”

The paladins were each carrying torches and burning the city.

They had always controlled their desires through discipline, but as soon as they received permission from their superiors, they started out with excitement.

As a result of the reaction of living with my desires, I ran wild like a madman.

“One, two, three!”

“Come on!”

“Okay, let’s move on to the next building!”

On the other hand, the bandits, who were not surprised to behave more vulgarly than the knights, calmly destroyed the building.

They split into two sides and swung sledgehammers to create cracks in the building walls and tear them down.

The sight of them working in silence seemed impressive, but when thousands of people were doing the same work, it felt like madness.

‘Gwae, it’s okay. If you board the ship while those people are busy doing other things… !’

However, there was something that Maxwell overlooked.

There was something greater than human beings here and now.

Maxwell turned his head to the dock.

There was a ship there that he was supposed to board, but the problem was that it was occupied by Choi Kang-jong.

“The carriage is good, but the human stomach is also quite good!”

“Death is delicious!”

“Whoop… ! Huh… !”

Dragons doing waist exercises with their bellies raised.

They inserted huge clubs into gun ports that were made to harm dangerous creatures in the sea.

In the case of the female dragon, she was hugging the mast of a ship and rubbing her crotch.

Because all the dragons had clung to the ship, there was not a single ship left unharmed in the dock.

It was literally hell, the only difference was that no human screams could be heard.

In other words, the villagers had been evacuated to another area in advance.

And there was only one man in charge of that role.

“Citizens of Radevar! Aren’t you anxious about being close to a demon spirit forever? Just today, there were demons hiding in the village!”

“The demons were cunningly hiding in the village and planning to exterminate you! If only the dragon hadn’t held a grudge against the demons! If only the Paladins had come a little later! You guys must have been in trouble!”

“Even fearsome bandits were targeting the village! It’s unfortunate, but let’s abandon our existing home and go to a land where demons and bandits are not targeting! I will take responsibility for the reconstruction and relocation costs of the village!”

Before hell unfolds, Lian uses his hero’s privilege to gather the residents out of Radevar.

He gathered people who were in despair over losing their village and was working hard to get their tongues rolling.

Of course, there would be quite a lot of expenses in the process, but Ryan didn’t mind at all.

The enormous amount of capital held, the gold and silver treasures held by the bandits, the cost to be extorted from Maxwell, and even the price of the ships sold to the dragons.

There were an absurd number of places where funds could come from.

All that remained was to win over the hearts of the villagers, but that was no problem.

In the days when he was living a difficult life in the back alleys, Rian made a living by agitating and fabricating among various factions.

In addition, it was impossible not to trust the warrior recognized by the Holy Kingdom.

“First, we will check your identity as there may be a demon clan member among the crowd. We ask for your understanding!”

Although they talked about demons, they began a search for Maxwell, who may have become involved in the military clan.

Lian blocked Maxwell’s escape route.

As a result, he was completely isolated within the village.

“This doesn’t make sense… !”

Maxwell, whose coasts and land routes are blocked.

He was expected to be caught without fail, but only one rope came to him.

A hand tapped Maxwell’s shoulder from behind.

He looked back in surprise and saw a woman he had never seen talking to him.

“Do you need a boat?”

“Yes… ?”

“You were looking at the dock with empty eyes, so I asked if you needed a boat to go out to sea.”

“Needed! But since all the ships lost their innocence to crazy dragons, are there any ships left?”

“There is a boat that I have hidden on the nearby coast. If it’s okay, would you like to ride with me?”

“… … Please.”

A black-haired beauty who exudes a mysterious energy, unlike others.

She, who wore clothes and behaved like those seen in Eastern countries, suddenly came to Maxwell and invited him to accompany her.

Of course, I couldn’t help but feel suspicious.

But there was only one option left for Maxwell.

Hold on to the rope.

Even if it was a rotten rope that would lead to one’s destruction, there was no other way than to catch it.
