ShangriLa Frontier Chapter 365 Part 1

ShangriLa Frontier Chapter 365: Shoeville Emblem Destroyer Part 1

Hyuh! Brave Hero-sama, way to go! You are so cool there!

「Take a good look there, Emul! This is something that we call Public Shaming back where I come from! It’s usually a form of punishment, but some sick fellows actually end up enjoying it more than they need to.」

「But it looks to me that some people are unable to bare to watch it any longer and are trying to escape from there as fast as possible.」

「Say what now? Holy shit, you’re right! So, that’s how you want to play, huh!? Eat this! Troop Barrier Arrow!!!」

Seeing as some of the People of the Forest were trying to take advantage of the newly created commotion and escape from here in secret, I drew my bow and shot a warning arrow in their general direction, not even paying any attention where in particular I was aiming. And it just so happened that my arrow almost pierced the foot of one of the runaway Elves. They looked my way, and perhaps it was because they saw someone who looked like a Grim Reaper that they quivered in fear and went back into formation in a hurry. After making sure that everything was back in order, I shifted my attention back to Tottori.

This operation that was taking place right now, the one that I call “The Brave Hero-sama’s Great Deception”, was something that was put on the spot by me, but was supposed to be exactly the thing we needed here in order to get what we wanted. However, since it was put together on the spot like that, it was also a strategy that was full of holes and possible weak spots. And it was only now that I was thinking about it that I was coming to realize that. Also, now that I think about it, even though we are using Tottori as the detonator here, getting other players involved here was probably not that good of an idea in the first place.

However, our dear Tottori is not the real Hero in this game’s world. He is just a puppet Hero who dances on our strings in any way we want him to. I feel a little bit sorry for making a fool out of his precious title, but…… Yeah, I’m just a little bit sorry. He’ll just have to bite the pillow and deal with it.

But in any case……

「Yo, Brothers! Say, what are you trying to pull off here? Acting in such a way will not make you look all too good! (Meeting for the very first time)」

「Now, did you not say that you would be there for us whenever we needed help? Because we really need you help right now. (Nobody said such a thing, but that’s not important here right now.)

「We are going to protect the tomorrow of the People of the Forest together! (First time I have seen those particular People of the Forest)」

「Just who the hell are you……!? (No, seriously…… Just who the hell are you, guys!?)」

That’s right. Tottori is the kind of player who prioritizes walking around the woods with the Elves, and it is precisely because of that fact that the People of the Forest expect him to bring them to safety of the frontline base.

If someone manages to respond to those expectations and make them into a reality, they will always gain huge amounts of favor from the ones who were believing in them up until now. And right now, since Tottori had such favor with the People of the Forest, since he declared that he would go up against the Third Knight, it is only natural that there are those who would follow after him.

「And making sure that you are friends with Tottori, it is also possible that your favor with the People of the Forest is going to increase as well……」

I wanted the knights to realize that Tottori was someone here that you do not want to mess with. Or at least, you don’t want to mess with him while he has so many allies and such a huge advantage on his side. This would also mean that I am someone you do not want to mess with, since I am friends with such a guy…… And if they were to fall into despair because of that, I really do understand that feeling.

「Alright…… That strategy should work better than everything else I had planned in store.」

Yes. After all, this world here is nothing but the “game”. And when it comes to games, the players are the creatures that are not bound by the “powers” of the game world. So should the players desire it, they would be able to assassinate kings and emperors only because they felt like doing it. No matter how realistic the world of this game may seem, it is still but a game. And as long as it is just a game, the players will never be bound or tied down by its morality or balance of powers. This is the greatest advantage possible that one may have.

And with more and more players gathering around here right now, the Third Knight can’t help it but to feel more and more pressure being exercised on him. It was foolish of him to think that he would be able to get what he wanted so nice and easy just because he had strength in numbers. For you see, strength in numbers is something that can easily be overturned on you if you are not careful. And that sort of pressure leads only to one thing: impatience.

Also, it goes without saying that the other knights were getting restless and impatient here as well. They expected to accomplish their mission as fast as possible, without even expecting that someone might actually interfere here. Also, the knights must not really be used to being surrounded like that. The opposite? Yes, but not the kind of situation they were currently in. However, their commander was still smiling with confidence, his eyes not wandering from the king at any time here…… I know what he is thinking right now. And certainly, even with all those players around, the thing that he plans to do seems to be the fastest and most efficient way of doing things. As long as he ignores everyone else in here and goes straight for the king alone, as long as he manages to strike the mortal blow, they might just run away and go back home, announcing to the First Prince that the operation was a huge success here.

「Tsk…… Good thing I did not bet on anything here, or else it would be GGC all over again. Why am I prone to gambling in situations I clearly know that I can’t win in……?」

I guess it cannot really be helped. I really expected that the Barrier Troops strategy would be enough here to bring this situation to a close, but I see that there are literally no chances for it to go my way.

「And since we just ended one grueling battle, I did not have time to properly distribute my points or to take care of my equipment……」

Right now, Memento Mori was in no shape to fight for real. I mean, I could have just use it to whack away at people, but it would have been terribly inefficient. Besides, that’s just not my style.

Besides, I cannot rely on this weapon alone all the time. I need to change things up from time to time, see what other options might give me here.

「Well then, I guess now would be the right time to show Mister Desperate Sword another nightmare or two……」
