68: Dwarf Village

"Hurt…"

Karen muttered as she looked at her fingers bitten by her white-bone lizard.

Kwajik.

She looked very bad, so I went straight to Karen and killed the lizard by biting her finger and stepping on her waist.

I couldn't help but frown at the sight of Karen looking up at me with her stupid eyes, even as red blood dripped from her fingers.

It was because I was unknowingly disappointed with Karen, who is a wizard and has much weaker mental strength than expected.

'Is it just this much?'

All Karen did was climb the mountain.

Of course, in the process, she was assaulted a little, and she deliberately drove her into a corner to the extent that her stamina reached the limit, but she never thought that her mind would be broken to this extent.

"Calm down, Karen Cross."

"Uh huh? Am I fine?"

I squeezed her fists lightly at Karen, who was smirking at me.

Startle.

She felt a little bit sorry for Karen's shrinking her, perhaps because she instinctively sensed her fear of her, but in her current state, it was better for her to just pass out.

"Wow!"

Unknowingly, Karen, who had been hit in the stomach, made a strange noise and fell limp. I took one of her potions from my bag and sprinkled it on her fingers.

It's definitely because Genoa took care of it, so the effect is beyond expectations.

As soon as I confirmed that Karen's tattered fingers were quickly recovering, I looked at the lizard's skeletal carcass wriggling on her floor, even though it was broken.

"This is amazing. I don't think it's even a machine."

Before I knew it, I heard James muttering as he looked around at the White Bone Lizard.

Of course, it wasn't a machine.

"Demon Lord, to be precise, it is the influence of Bahamons."

"Bahamons?"

At my almost certain words, I saw James looking at me with a tilt of his head.

Come to think of it, the Dwarves also knew nothing about the Demon King's Army.

I had no choice but to explain Bahamons to the Dwarves.

"He is a lich, the lord of death, who raises the dead to be his servants."

"Is that just a lizard?"

At my words, one of the dwarves looked at me with a funny expression and asked.

Dwarves seemed to have a very different sense of humor than humans, and I could see other dwarves laughing at his words.

"Ha…"

I let out a sigh as I looked at the dwarves, who couldn't find even the slightest sense of tension.

In the end, the situation began to calm down only after James, who was worse off, hit the dwarves laughing next to him with his elbows.

"Of course, I don't use lizards as subordinates. No, there are also hundreds of Lizardmen Undead, so it's not necessarily wrong."

"Hundreds of Lizardmen. Well."

Hearing that Bahamons had hundreds of Lizardmen as his subordinates, he finally realized the seriousness of the situation and began to roll his big eyes.

"So, what is this lizard?"

In the end, it was James who asked me a question in that situation.

Certainly, as the leader of the pack, he seemed to be quicker than the others.

"Perhaps this lizard has awakened from the dead under the influence of Bahamons. Bahamons have the ability to wake up the corpses around them without doing anything on their own."

I answered like that, remembering the Bahamons who had made me suffer in my previous life.

In fact, Bahamons had the power to automatically wake up the corpses around them without having to create monsters themselves.

Thanks to this, the dead soldiers who rushed to hit him would rise up as corpses and point their spears at their allies.

'In addition, Bahamons are the best people to attack Dwarf City.'

I frowned and looked back at the situation.

In the first place, the Dwarven village was located high in the mountains, and the reason why the Dwarves showed a calm attitude was because the city they lived in was impregnable and difficult to attack.

In fact, in my previous life, most of the Demon Lords were exhausted before even arriving at the Dwarves' village.

However, the Bahamons' men were all dead and, of course, were not tired.

'There's no way that stupid demon king would have thought of that, and is he a Baal after all?'

I roughly inferred the situation of the Demon King's army and began to draw a rough picture.

Bahamons' movements were quite stealthy to the extent that Lilith didn't know about them, and to my knowledge, only Baal could induce such a situation.

The problem is that the baal guy started to come forward more quickly and aggressively than expected.

Perhaps Baal also noticed that the demon king had returned, or he could have confirmed it himself.

'It's fortunate that I asked Genoa for a favor.'

Scratching my head, I remembered the conversation I had with Genoa before leaving Caliban Manor.

**

"I also want to go with the hero."

Naturally, Genoa wanted to leave for Dwarf City with me.

"Then, what about this territory?"

"Anyway, it's a territory where there's no big deal. Perhaps even if I am away for a while, my subordinates will do just fine."

I fell into trouble watching Genoa.

Anyway, like she said, there was little chance of anything big happening in Caliban's estate right away.

Because the Demon King's army is aiming for elves and dwarves.

In addition, it was quite welcome that Genoa, the leader of the Holy Knights, joined in a situation where the Bahamons might pop out.

But instead of inviting Genoa to join me, I decided to ask for something else.

"Genoa. You have another request."

"… What if it's a request?"

Genoa asked me with her eyes shining brightly.

Even if he said he couldn't accompany me, he was a little happy because he was the first to receive my request.

"Go to the ecliptic and bring her saintess to her."

"… You mean her saintess?"

Genoa frowned at my words and asked me back.

It wasn't until I saw her Genoa's reaction to her that she remembered that things weren't so good between her and her saintess, Marianne.

"Okay. We might need her for this battle."

I replied to Genoa like that.

In fact, it was not initially intended to include Marianne.

If she had that thought in the first place, she wouldn't have left her in her ecliptic.

Moreover, it is also unknown whether the current Marianne will be of any help when fighting the Bahamons.

Still, there was one reason I asked Genoa to bring Marianne.

'Because it's completely different from the first playthrough.'

The night before, even when I was doing crazy things with Genoa, Marianne was definitely watching me.

If it was her ability to spy on her over distances that would take days on her horse, she would be fine putting her expectations on her.

"Okay. You are the only person I can trust and ask for."

"Me, only me, Mandible."

When I spoke while stroking her hair, Genoa began to repeat my words with half-closed eyes.

I don't know if it will help or not, but as for me, I just wanted Marian to arrive on time.

'No, maybe it's already leaving.'

I thought so as I checked the spiritual body of Marian, which I felt inside of me.

**

"Hero, please take good care of me."

"… Suddenly?"

I asked as I looked at the dwarves lined up in front of me.

It was because while I was thinking about what happened with Genoa, the dwarves who had been whispering among themselves suddenly changed their attitude and said that.

"Ah, hundreds of Lizardmons in Lich. No matter how solid our kingdom is, that's a bit of a burden."

"There is nothing to worry about. Didn't you say that the hero took care of everything when the previous demon king appeared anyway?"

"Okay. I remember hearing that from my grandfather."

I frowned at the dwarves, who casually handed over the work to me as if chatting.

These lascivious sacks of shit were referring to the work of the warrior before me, and they wanted me to defeat the Bahamons on my own.

"I don't know what the previous warriors did, but I can't do it alone."

"… Yes?"

"Couldn't it be that the dwarves who are called men among men don't avoid fights?"

"That, right? We're not like that!"

If there was anything better about dwarves, it was that they were much less brazen and saved face than elves.

In addition, if it was enough to force me to fight, he would automatically match the best weapon, so there was no need to get angry.

"By the way, is the city far away?"

"Ah, we're almost there. We can go a little further."

I put Karen, who was lying on the floor, on James's horse and climbed on top of it.

And as James said, after climbing the mountain for a while, a city of dwarves carved out of a cliff appeared.

At that moment, I felt Karen, who was carried behind her, wake up, so I spoke to her.

"Karen. Arrived. Wake up."

"Yes? Ah…"

Taken aback by my words, Karen opened her eyes, and I heard her explode in admiration.

The dwarven city was as beautiful as she was surprised to forget her previous affairs.

'Looking at it again, it's spectacular.'

I thought that while looking at the dwarven city, it could only be described as beautiful.
