Please Be a Traitor
Vol. 14: If You Can’t Avoid Him, Make Him Asleep
Chapter 68
Karpel stood up and turned to face me, his gaze fixed on the horizon.
There were many places where the water was stagnant, so the sky reflected and appeared as a horizontal line.
Karpel frowned.
“What’s that?”
I noticed it because it appeared serious.
What I saw was something gloomy approaching.
I thought it was a flock of birds in the sky, but it was a flock of birds running on the ground.
As time passed, the sound changed dramatically.
The carriage jolted.
It wasn’t rain; it was the sound of the ground ring.
It was a herd of creatures charging by, splashing white spray.
The horsemen sped up as well as if they had noticed.
We’re heading east across the plain, and those creatures are heading south, so if we speed up, we’ll be able to pass each other without colliding.
But there was something odd about the creature herd.
It was far too huge.
It wasn’t because the motion was enormous, but it was significant.
The sparsely planted tree is taller than the carriage, but they are larger, so they are all trampled.
I’ve never seen such a large herd of monsters on the Krenberia estate.
In the distance, I noticed a small cabin. Even that small cabin was trampled.
I closed and then reopened my eyes.
I’m not sure what it was, but it was out of the ordinary.
No matter how large the Krenberia estate is, it was strange that I could not hear anything there was a group of such creatures roaming around.
If I leave it alone, it will lead to even more disaster.
The horseman was desperately flogging his horse, and at this rate, he might as well pass them by.
But let’s pretend we’ve avoided them and arrived safely in Elysium.
Going to Elysium was ostensibly to provide enough food for the elves there, but it was also to keep them from crushing Krenberia in search of food.
The scene of those creatures trampling the growing grain was playing out in front of my eyes right now. There’s no way I could let that.
“Inaila?”
Karpel called me. The majority of my artifacts contained defense and detoxification magic.
What I’m wearing now also had magic that allowed me to live normally even if I fell off the cliff and sank into the sea, and there was an artifact with magic that could instantly corrode the knife and turn it into ashes if I was stabbed.
The artifact’s performance is limited, and it cannot be blocked continuously if there are many enemies, so there was a magic of putting them to sleep or spraying poison.
Except for the type of recovery, I applied the artifacts at random.
“What exactly are you doing?”
“Allow me to depart. I’ll take care of that.”
“How does your little artifact deal with monsters? We’d better get out of here and contact the temple.”
“Monsters?”
Everything in my head seemed to be jumbled.
In the novel, Karpel’s failure to rebel was due to the monsters.
When everything is ready for the final battle, the monsters attack the rebels’ rear.
Karpel’s rebels failed to stop the prince’s counterattack because they were disorganized in response to the attack, and Karpel, who beheaded the last monsters, is captured by the prince.
The final battle was eight years later. Before that, there had been no mention of the monsters wandering around in groups like that.
‘No, the Crown Prince takes the Knights and goes on large-scale animal hunts.’
I suddenly remembered the prince, who had mentioned that he was leaving today for somewhere far away.
‘No way, is he going to catch that?’
My head shook.
He couldn’t have gone on his own.
The Crown Prince essentially moved in accordance with the Emperor’s wishes. He was a good and righteous son, a devoted son who couldn’t resist his father’s wishes.
Such a crown prince would never come to hunt a flock of monsters across Krenberia territory.
As Karpel suggested, I should flee and contact a nearby temple. As soon as I thought that, I noticed a village behind Karpel’s back.
It was a small village with tropical houses of buildings rising in popularity from chimneys huddled together.
“Karpel…… behind you……”
It was heading towards the monsters.
“There’s nothing we can do.”
Karpel stated solemnly. His golden eyes were cold. It was not aimed at me.
He appeared to be keeping his cool by telling himself that there was nothing we could do now. As if he was seeking my validation.
Is there really nothing we can do?
“S-stop the carriage! Now!”
