Overgeared - Chapter 1070

Chapter 1070: 1070

“Hold fast!”

Grid’s movement speed reached the maximum as he escaped from the Abyss . The dukes’ condition was severe, and he used all types of means and methods to escape . Grid wanted to return to Reinhardt and ask Ruby to treat them .

“Get lost!” 

Grid killed the guards who blocked the way .  His fourth stats awakening meant his attack power had increased by leaps and bounds . Every time the cooldown time ended, he used Quick Movements to overwhelm the guards while holding Basara in his arms .

“Truly a great sword!” Ke shouted while following Grid aboard Overgeared Corn . Saliva splashed from his mouth every time, causing Overgeared Corn’s annoyance to reach the peak .  He had to carry a male on his back, and this male was even splashing dirty saliva? Eventually, Overgeared Corn was unable to endure his anger and sped up, causing Ke’s face to turn white .

“H-Hik! I’m dead! I’m going to die because of this horny thing!”

The stalactites hanging like icicles from the ceiling started to break .  It was the aftermath of a collision with Ke’s wide face .

“A-Aigoo, this guy . . . ”

The ‘dead’ Ke finally fell flat . His face was swollen as he clung to Overgeared Corn’s back and held his breath . Only then did the disheveled Overgeared Corn follow Grid along the safe path .  It was a breathless advance .

“Pant . . . Pant . . . ”

Then the group finally succeeded in leaving the Abyss .

“You must have suffered a lot . I will go to find my senior knight and finish the quest . Please don’t worry about the rewards and hurry to leave . ”

“Thank you for this work in many ways . ”

“What are you saying? I’m the grateful one . Thanks to Grid, I cleared the quest . I am greatly indebted to you . ” There was no exaggeration in Resh’s words .

This was a quest he shared with Grid and Coke, but he never would’ve been able to clear it without them .  The demonkin Biplonz guarded the prison, and Sword Duke Limit had emerged after Biplonz was defeated .  It would have been impossible to defeat them with the power of three high rankers .  No, he wouldn’t have even reached the prison .  It would have been hard to break through the guards when there was a narrow path that only one person could pass through at a time .  This had been really good luck .  The relationship that he developed with Coke through the Chivalry community . . .

“I will surely repay your grace . ”

“First, buy us a meal . In any case, it is easy to meet people living in the same country . ” Coke smiled at Resh .

He wanted to get closer to Resh . Being in the same community meant they had the same interests . After all, Resh also had great strength, so it would be good if they became closer .  Resh accepted it happily . “I’ll treat you several times . It is an honor to be able to meet you . ”

“If you meet us and get caught by Peak Sword, there will be a big mess . He will swear at you the moment he knows you are Korean . ”

“Haha . . .  I’ll have to bear it . ”

“Good . Then I’ll see you next time . ”

Grid also liked Resh . He was a good player who gave off a great impression and had a humble personality . Grid wanted to continue the relationship with Resh and invite him to the Overgeared Guild .  However, it wasn’t possible right now .  Resh also had his own path .

Grid left these regrets behind and urged Coke, “Let’s hurry, Coke . ”

The situation would become even harder if Edan’s army came forward . They couldn’t waste any more time .  Yet at the moment that Grid turned his back to Resh . . .  There was suddenly a harsh noise, and the ground shook violently .  Soon after, a formation of horses appeared, covering the horizon .  It wasn’t thousands but tens of thousands of horses .

They were cavalry .  Considering that the cost of raising one cavalryman was equal to the cost of raising 30 infantry, it was an unbelievable sight .  The ranks of cavalry, that were so tight not even a needle could pass through, approached Grid’s group .

“An army of the empire!”

“I knew it would be like this . ”

Coke was dazed while Ke showed a scathing reaction .  Ke reached out to the tight-faced Grid .  “Don’t you know that the empire is an empire for a reason? The atrocities of the empire stemmed from its thoroughness . It is impossible to escape from the Abyss in the first place . Now let me see your sword . I want to see the sword before I am caught again . ”

“Break through,” Grid just ignored Ke and gave Coke an order . Yet he stopped as he was about to summon Noe and his other pets .

“Lord Grenhal!”

“Lady Basara!”

“Morse, this idiot!”

The tens of thousands of cavalrymen approaching Grid’s party were the soldiers of the three dukes .  In other words, armed forces of a noble entered the capital where the emperor lived .  It was a taboo . This alone was a sin .  That’s why they were late .  The retainers of Grenhal, Basara, and Morse rushed forward and knelt down tearfully in front of the dukes .

“I sensed something, but I couldn’t run over right away!”

“Forgive our incompetence!”

“The imperial guards are chasing us! We need to escape straight away!”

“Morse, this asshole! I told you to come back to the estate first! You went through this mess because you didn’t listen to me!!”

“ . . . ”

Who was this woman who kept swearing at Morse? Could a retainer show such an attitude to a duke of the empire? Grid turned away from the seemingly angry woman and carefully laid Basara down .

“I am Overgeared King Grid . ”

“I know . ” An old man called Lanford came forward . Armed with old armor, he represented the army of the Basara family, and his name flashed with a gold color . Not only that, there seemed to be a named NPC in each duke’s household . “On the day that Duke Basara returned from the Ruins of the War God, she told me about Your Majesty thorough magic communication . ”

The other dukes’ retainers were also aware of Grid . All of them respectfully bowed to Grid .

“This time, Your Majesty rescued everyone . We are deeply grateful . ”

They weren’t stupid, so it was easy for them to guess the situation .  Various circumstances explained the situation .

“Thank you very much! The Grenhal Duchy will never forget today’s grace!”

“Thank you very much! The Basara Duchy will never forget today’s grace!”

“Thank you very much . The same is true for the Morse Duchy .

Tens of thousands of soldiers cried out as the dukes’ retainers bowed in front of King Grid .  They were cries filled with various emotions .  The plains shook, and sounds echoed through the entrance of the Abyss .

“I just helped my friends,” Grid responded as modestly as possible . In fact, he wanted to express his heart, but it wasn’t the right time . He should be patient for a more dramatic production .

“King Grid . . . ” Grenhal was touched by Grid’s words without knowing the situation and trembled . Edan had blinded him, but Grenhal could imagine Grid’s dignified appearance in his head .  This was a king of great character .  It was obvious how much the people of the Overgeared Kingdom would love Grid .

“Sh . . . Shit . . . ” Morse was unable to bear with the pain from his cut off limbs, and his eyes were red . This wasn’t the emperor their families had loyally served for generations . A person whom they had only known for a few days had saved them . . . Morse’s thoughts were complicated and confused in many ways .

Meanwhile, Basara was still dazed . Just like in the prison, she stared at the distant sky with her mouth open .  In this midst of this atmosphere, the knights urged them, “We have to hurry back to the estate . ”

They had to leave here quickly . They couldn’t fathom how things would turn out if there were a clash with imperial forces .

“Send a letter to the Rebecca Church right away . If the elders of the church take action, the dukes’ bodies might be restored a bit . ”

Then it happened when the retainers were urging the soldiers to take care of the dukes .

“Let’s go to Reinhardt,” Grid spoke up .

“Why Reinhardt?”

Reinhardt was the capital of the Overgeared Kingdom .  Why should they go there? In front of the confused retainers, Grid unwittingly made a proud expression as he explained, “My sister is the Saintess . ”

“ . . . !!”

“My sister will be able to heal them . ”

“ . . . !!”

“Of course, it will be very hard for my sister, but she will definitely make the sacrifice for my friends . It will be very hard, but she will surely do it . ”

It was finally time to show off .

Grid prompted an answer from the astonished retainers, “Will you believe in me?”

“O-Of course!”

It was a situation where every straw needed to be grasped .  Additionally, Overgeared King Grid could be trusted .  So, the retainers nodded immediately .

Coke clicked his tongue inwardly . ‘People will be freaked out again . . . ’

Resh and Ke were terrified .

‘The dukes’ soldiers, who might be charged with treason, are willing to go to the Overgeared Kingdom . . . The flow is unusual . ’

‘Are the nobles of the empire so easily swayed by the king of another nation? Has the world gone crazy after decades?’

***

“It is really annoying,” 4th Imperial Prince Edan murmured . His face had long been distorted .  “Why are you involved in imperial affairs?”

In the downstream of the Ballua River, Edan—who had been tracking Rachel back to her estate—had been very happy . If he succeeded in capturing Rachel, all his factors of anxiety would be eliminated .  However, the plan failed because of the interference of a third party .

The Sword Saint—the black-haired man who wasn’t even on the same level as Piaro—had appeared to help Rachel .  He knew the weaknesses of the magic machine and spread out his sword energy likes clouds, interrupting them and dragging out the time .  It had been a long time since the magic machines reached the limit of their operating duration and stopped working .

Edan had to pull out a sword and deal with Rachel himself .  He was confident in winning a one-on-one match, but Kraugel’s swordsmanship—which contained a mystery ‘power despite being weak’—kept Edan at a disadvantage .

‘I shouldn’t have sent Limit . ’

Just before arriving here, the detection magic identifying intruders in the Abyss was activated . Edan was forced to send the fastest moving Limit .  That was the problem .  It would’ve been better to go back after taking care of Rachel together .  In any case, the Abyss was guarded by Biplonz, and he thought that was enough .

‘I think this matter has become severely twisted . ’ Edan clicked his tongue and launched his red energy .

The target was Kraugel .  Kraugel stepped back, but that was it . He didn’t release the sword in his hand .

Edan’s judgment was quick . “I have to go and clean up the shit . ”

Right now, Rachel’s life wasn’t important . Every minute was precious, so it would be a waste of time to punish the Sword Saint hindering him .  Edan recovered his sword and said goodbye to Rachel, “You were lucky . Let’s meet again next time . ”

“The next time we meet, you will be a traitor, not a prince . ”

“Kukuk, I don’t think so . ”

Since when had things become so twisted? Who was behind him?

‘What type of jerk . . . ’ Edan barely suppressed his anger and left .  He first planned to meet the grandmaster .  

Soon there were only two people left .  Rachel asked Kraugel, “How did you know to come and help me?”

“Master gave me a hint on the way back from beating Berith . ”

He stated that he felt a strong red energy .  It was unknown why, but Kirinus was very sensitive to the blood of the imperial family and knew the situation occurring inside the royal court .  In the worst case, the dukes might suffer because someone had witnessed the dukes and Piaro together . Thus, he was to go to the capital and help them .  This was the content of the hidden quest Kraugel had received .  He wasn’t able to protect the other three dukes, but he was glad that he could protect Rachel .

‘ . . . The rest . ’

Kraugel didn’t know why he had this idea that Grid would’ve rescued the remaining dukes .  The reason for this feeling was Grid’s increase in level, which didn’t rise even after the Berith raid .

‘I will reach level 500 and 600 faster . ’

Kraugel had been the first player to reach level 100, and he obtained the Pioneer title .  He had also been the first to achieve level 200 and 300 .  Now things had changed .  He lost the benefits he’d had for a long time .  Even so, why . . . ?

Kraugel felt more pleased than deprived .  It was more appropriate to say that his passion was ignited .
