Ch 16: Trouble at the dungeon.
"You are sure it's a dragon?" The king asks
"Yes." Fuze's great great grandfather says
"Minister! Contact the nobels draft and army! Have the knights prepare for battle!" The King shouts
"I'm expecting the guilds support in this subjugation." The king says
The guild master nods before he turns around and leaves the meeting room.
==================
"Say Yuki? If I were to use my knowledge skill one last time would you be mad? We spent 25 years together but i need more information nya." Nekra says
"I can asks the Loli goddess to give you a bunch of anime to watch." Nekra says
Suddenly a letter falls from the sky.
"It's not cute when you use that kinda language nya." Nekra says reading the letter.
Suddenly a flash drive falls on Nekra's head.
"Thanks nya!" Nekra shouts as she flashes a cute smile.
================
"Nya, Yuki do you just want to teleport back?" Nekra asks as she adjusts her metal bracers and sheathes her sword.
"You can do that?" Yuki asks
Suddenly weird runes begins to form a circle around them.
"Nya, rune magic apparently counted as a type of programming according to my knowledge skill Nya." Nekra says as the tune circle begins to glow and they are back atop the ancient tree.
"Nekra... something is wrong." Yuki says
"Nya? What is it?" Nekra asks
Yuki suddenly grabs Nekra and they both appear in the apartment.
===================
"So do you have any idea why the kingdoms knights were called?" One knight asks the other.
The thing is the knights are not just a title. They must also have the skill to slay a lesser demon by themselves. The kingdom has alittle over 500 of knights capable of that then about 700 apprentice knights.
"It wasn't just us, they drafted an army." Another knight says
"A dragon was spotted." An older man says walking up.
The kings younger brother.
"A dragon your grace?" One of the knights says
"That is what required this response, although the dungeon has served us well for the pass 50 years.
We have revived reports that it has its own army that will respond in times of emergency. So just a few hundred knights going down there to take care of the dragon isn't possible so we fielded an army of our own." The duke says
===========
"Nya, the drone golem was a good idea." Nekra says with a nod
"What are we going to do?" Yuki asks
"I could double the soldiers and make it 2 legions. If I do any more nya I feel like we are cheating." Nekra says as she pulls up the map of the ancient forest to show Yuki that there is no way in hell they will find the core.
===================
"How many men are coming?" One knight asks
"My older brother the king along with all the royal knights each noble house was required to bring their own knights along with an army. Odds are it's going to be a full scale war." The duke says taking a drink of his ale.
"These soldiers of the dungeon can they use magic?" A knight asks
"According to the reports we are not sure... they seem to build so quickly you would think it's earth magic." The duke says
"This just seems more and more difficult." A knight says
"When did we discover all of this." A knight with a black helmet asks
"After demon lord Milim went in there and came back out after two weeks. The first search party we sent in afterwards found 4,000 destroyed stone golems wearing some sort of armor with an iron sword. Then after they were lead by an A ranker with stealth skills to the room they believe the stairs to be in they found a dragon guarding the stairs." The duke says
"How big will our army be?" A knight asks
"Roughly 12,000 is what we could field currently with our resources luckily it's an internal strife so although it may be demanding the resources from the dungeon have long made up for it." The duke says
===============
"Nya? Those 12,000 peasants will get slaughtered." Nekra says
"Why is that?" Yuki asks
"Because mere farmers can not fight off the might of the Roman Empire." Nekra says with a completely serious voice before she comes back.
"Nya, my old memories are acting up again nya." Nekra says holding her head receiving even more fragmented memories.
"Nya? Who's Brutus?" Nekra thinks out loud before going back to strategizing.
"Yuki I'm going to pop out an make more golems Nya." Nekra says disappearing.
"How long has it been since Nekra drank?" Yuki wonders outloud realizing it's been several months.
