Solo Swordmaster

Chapter 935

#935. See you again

In conclusion.

The princesses gave their place to Anastasia.

Of course, he had already made up his mind when he helped Limon get her as his bride in the first place.

It was because she was so polite that it was impossible to engage in a war of nerves.

After all, there was nothing more foolish than getting Limon’s disappointment after harassing her for being courteous by bowing all the way.

If this had been calculated and intended, it would have been admirable.

“Asha, why don’t you just sit down?”

“Since my father-in-law is like the sky, how can a So-cheop sit in the same seat as Mr. Nang-gun?”

…Looking at Anastasia standing politely behind Limon, it didn’t look like she was aiming for anything.

That’s why Ainsha whispered with an expressionless face.

“I want to know if that was common in the Russian Khanate 100 years ago in Yekatrice.”

“well? Even if they were stricter than they are now, they would not have been to that extent… Isn’t it because they learned in Goryeo?”

“The things I learned at the sword tower must have been the same for sword fighting and sword spirit.”

“Hmm, then he’s unique after all.”

“Since the swordsmen belonged to the royal family, it is not strange that they are a little more picky about manners and traditions, but…”

Limon sighed at the subtle gazes of the princesses who naturally turned to him.

wherever you learn

It is the teacher who teaches the disciple.

Anastasia was not convincing enough to say that she had been like this before she started teaching.

So Limon just turned the conversation around.

“So how is the situation?”

“To be honest, it’s not very good. The casualties alone are estimated to be over 10 million units.”

“…the damage was great.”

Limon’s eyes grew heavy.

Tens of millions of casualties even in the past world wars.

Even that is the sum of all the victims of war over several years.

It was a catastrophe that even Limon, who had lived for a long time, had never experienced that many people were killed and injured in just one day.

“The bigger problem is that this is not the end of the situation.”

“The remaining monsters.”

Hasneti received Li Qingyu’s words in a muffled voice.

They mobilized their whole family to hunt monsters themselves, but they couldn’t search the whole world in just a few days.

The only thing that was repulsed was around major cities and large groups of monsters.

deep in the mountains or forests.

Outlying periphery and under the sea.

A small group of monsters still remained in the outback.

Of course, such a group could be solved by guilds or armies in each region on their own.

But that also depends on the situation.

Not only could the remaining monsters unite again to form a large group, but such a small group was also a threat to a small village without troops.

The impact was great.

“There are already setbacks on the logistics side. The loss of contact, especially at sea, has increased exponentially.”

“Thanks to that, the supply of parts was cut off, and there are more than one or two places where our factories stopped.”

“Hoarding of daily necessities and crime are also on the rise.”

who did it

It’s hard to build a tower, but it’s easy to tear it down.

In that respect, the aftermath of this monster wave was enough to throw the world into chaos.

It wasn’t just because of the huge casualties.

The dungeon, which until now was regarded only as an infinite treasure trove and a blessing from the Constellation, is the root cause of this terrible disaster.

Because that fact broke common sense in the Iron Age from the very foundation.

“Public sentiment is the worst. Even though the gods have given a revelation, the followers are very upset.”

“If the situation is not quickly rectified, the economy will collapse.”

“Not only the economy, but the social system itself, including security and defense, will be at risk.”

The seven princesses continued their discussion seriously.

The Seven Dragons are now an organization that holds the hegemony of the world beyond just a simple conglomerate or military organization.

Above all, it was necessary to respond quickly as they were the only group with the power to deal with this situation.

“You’re right, but I think there are other things we need to be most concerned about.”

“…?”

“I want to know what you mean.”

What should I care about more than trying to sort out the world’s chaos?

to those who are puzzled.

Li Qingyu asked heavily.

“Do you guys think the monster wave will end this time?”

“Do you mean monsters will appear again in the dungeon?”

“What happened once can happen twice.”

“…indeed.”

Hasneti nodded.

In the first place, the monsters in the dungeon are infinitely regenerated.

As long as the seal of the Seven Arcs had already been unlocked, there was always the possibility of a monster wave happening again.

“If another monster wave occurs in the midst of this, it will be impossible to deal with.”

“It wouldn’t be easy to catch monsters, let alone to train them, wouldn’t it? In the meantime, it will be even more so if the players run rampant again.”

“If there are several puppets at the level of half absolutes that have appeared in Sao Paulo, it will be difficult to deal with unless we step out ourselves.”

“Depending on the situation, we could be in danger too.”

The atmosphere of the princesses became more serious.

If the monsters came pouring out again, everyone would go around frantically to deal with it again.

In the meantime, if the absolute self-level players cooperated with the monsters and attacked them, they could have been destroyed one by one.

I can’t stand it anyway.

Truly a quandary.

Also, at the time of the monster wave, they were being cornered into one shot.

“It might be better to organize the dungeon in advance.”

Limon said quietly.

It would have been absolutely impossible before.

Destroying the dungeon, an infinite treasure trove, was something that each country would stop with a bubble and mobilize all their national strength.

However, it was different now that the danger of the monster wave arose.

It was enough to carry through with justification and power.

Especially since there are few countries that can resist since the Seven Dragons already have world hegemony.

Even if it was impossible to clear the dungeons in the city center, the damage from the monster wave could be greatly reduced.

But…

“No, that won’t work.”

“Why?”

“Even if the swordsmith gets rid of the dungeon, the Constellations will recreate it.”

“…That certainly makes sense.”

In the first place, dungeons were created by Constellations when the Iron Age opened.

Even with the power sealed, it was possible to do that, so it should be easier now that the Seven Arcs are unsealed.

Rather, if a dungeon is created in a place no one knows about, it can be more difficult to stop the monster wave.

Limon nodded.

In the middle of Ainsha tilting her head slightly.

Li Qingyu said calmly.

“In my opinion, what we need to do now is to do our best to prepare for the future.”

“Are you already working hard?”

“It’s not just our story, Yekathrice.”

“…?”

“It means that we must mobilize all the potential of all nations and all mankind.”

That moment.

Limon and the princesses hardened their faces.

It was because it was only then that I realized what Li Qingyu meant by contrast.

“…Are you really talking about total war?”

“yes.”

“Are you serious? Making all of humanity into soldiers and forcing them to work as collaborators?”

So it was.

What Rose unknowingly objected to.

All-out war, in which all the nation’s capabilities were mobilized for war, regardless of gender or age, was able to draw enormous forces enough to change the paradigm.

But the price was high.

War is, after all, the ultimate consumption.

Ammunition, time and even human lives.

It was a one-sided waste of all resources.

Mobilizing all of the country’s capabilities meant that all capabilities would eventually decline.

That’s why, in reality, most of the countries that waged total war for a long time failed to make up for the losses even if they won the war.

What if all the countries in the world were mobilized for an all-out war?

The aftereffects would have been severe.

Nevertheless, Li Qingyu did not change his mind.

Instead, he looked straight at Rose with heavy sunken eyes and spoke heavily.

“It is not a matter of whether it is possible or not. That’s how it should be.”

“…”

“If we don’t stop the constellations, the world will perish.”

“That’s…”

That’s too pessimistic a prediction.

Rose couldn’t speak.

In fact, even though the seal of the Seven Arcs wasn’t completely broken, a single wave of monsters caused enormous damage.

Even if this happened a few times, it would be impossible to deal with it with the power of the Seven Dragons.

And unfortunately, she had no other alternative to stop this from happening.

Above all, it is dark like night.

Darker than a shadow.

deep as pitch black.

Li Qingyu’s gaze, which was too resolute to be a mere prediction, made it impossible to argue.

In the end, it was Hasneti who took out a cigarette and asked the question on behalf of Rose.

“All-out war isn’t something you can easily do just because you want to.”

“That’s why we need to hurry.”

“How many people do you think will obey me if I ask them to prepare for an all-out war out of the blue in this chaotic situation?”

Maia held on to her cynicism.

Egypt and England Brazil etc.

I wonder if it was a country directly ruled by the Seven Dragons.

It was obvious that other countries would either vehemently oppose it or merely pretend to follow it roughly.

Li Qingyu’s alternative to that was simple.

“Then I have to force them to obey.”

“You mean you’re going to threaten me if I don’t obey?”

“Because we have the ability to do it and we have reasons to do it.”

“Huh… Personally, I like it quite a bit, but then people’s feelings of resistance will increase, right?”

“You have to accept that much.”

The atmosphere became more serious.

Li Qingyu, who always came up with the best measures as the ruler of the Seven Dragons, suggested such a radical method.

That in itself was alarming them.

“What do you think, Swordsman?”

“…all-out war?”

“yes. If the swordsman objects, I will think of another alternative.”

The princesses who were lost in thought.

And Ainsha, who was looking at Li Qingyu with a particularly expressionless face than usual, turned her gaze to Limon when she heard that.

because everyone knew

That Limon’s decision would soon become their will.

Before becoming their groom.

He is the guardian of mankind.

Because he was the only person who was qualified to make this decision.

From the seven princesses to Anastasia who stood behind them and the aides of each princess who kept their seats around them.

In the eyes of everyone except for the running eagle, who is asleep in the warm sunlight on one side of the garden.

The moment when Limon, who was alone in quiet thought, opened his closed eyes.

Weiying.

“…!”

A small mechanical sound suddenly came from behind Limon.

Following the sound, the princesses turned their heads and made strange faces when they saw an object appearing from one side of the garden.

“That’s…”

“…Unmanned vacuum cleaner?”

Why did the unmanned vacuum cleaner that the blue bird, who was busy doing something with Sir, always ride appeared all of a sudden?

Everyone looked at it in awe.

While some of them are making faces that seem to have realized something.

The soft light scattered from the lens of the unmanned vacuum cleaner created a clear hologram in the middle of the round table where they were sitting.

[?It’s nice to meet you again, Swordsman.]

Especially long ears.

Thin wings on the back.

A thin dress and a cane in one hand.

Above all, beautiful looks and a unique mysterious atmosphere as if they are not of this world.

A woman once seen and never forgotten.

Looking at the guardian deity who has devoted himself to mankind for a long time

with himself… no, even more than himself, Limon opened his mouth as if groaning

“Your Majesty the Fairy Queen…!”
