The Otherworld Conquest Method of a Reincarnated Porter Chapter 61 Part 2
Oh, I don’t really get it, but things are getting exciting here. The prince and his entourages have gone to their rooms to get their equipment, and in the fort, the talk spreads in the blink of an eye and everyone is in a festive mood. Marianne is raising the corners of her mouth a little maliciously.
「Princess. If we make our move after anything happens, it would be too late. I believe you are aware of it, Princess. That there are a number of terrifying masters among the beastfolks.」
「Listen well, Crichton. We do nothing wrong. We are just following His Highness’ instructions, after all. Or is that it, are you saying that there’s some sort of mistakes in His Highness’ decisions?」
Even if something does happen, they are going to use the fact that they are merely following His Highness the Prince’s orders as their excuse, huh. Looks like Marianne is now able to use her head a little.
「Crichton-dono, in case something happens, let’s have the elite knights stand at the ready. As expected, we cannot afford to just do nothing, after all.」
「M, mm. You are right.」
Cronin the hard worker is talking to Crichton and trying to find a common ground. Haa, I have a premonition that something interesting is about to happen.
After a while, Leonius and his entourages, clad in their equipment, gather at the gates of the fort. However, looking at their equipment alone, they look like brave warriors who have fought in countless battles. They have first-rate equipment and handsome faces. I wonder if they are really strong.
As I look around, I notice that the elderly knight who is supposed to be their chaperone is not there. I wonder if it is going to be alright.
「Open the gate!」
Excluding the elderly knight, the prince and eight handsome knights go out through the gate. Their subordinates seem to be on standby inside the gate. The top of the wall is packed with soldiers guarding the border. When the prince’s group moves forward, everyone cheers deafeningly that I cannot even hear Marriane, who is standing next to me.
The opposing party, the beastfolks, is fourteen in total, but most of them are not wearing any protective gear and are dressed in shabby clothes. It is difficult to judge the ages of the beastfolks, but they are probably in their early teens or just coming of age, fourteen years old. It is too reckless of them to challenge heavily equipped knights. And looking at the young and vulnerable beastfolks, the prince’s spirit also seems to swell up.
「Listen well, you barbarians! I am the third prince of the Kingdom of Estorias, Leonius Magzard. I shall turn you all into the rust of my sword!」
When the prince makes his speech, the soldiers in the fort cheer in unison. That prince, won’t he be better off becoming an actor or something like that?
「I am Gonzi. The canine folk Gonzi of Hasma Village. I came of age this year and was granted with the job of Beast Fighter. I will defeat you and bring back the loot to my village!」
「Oh, Gonzi, don’t you dare to lose!」
「The honor of Hasma village is at stake here, so be sure to win!」
「Go and show those common folks the strength of canine folk tribe!」
One after another, the beastfolks cheer for Gonzi. Most of them are feline folks and canine folks, with only two fox folks. The prince’s comrades are laughing scornfully. Well, common sense tells us that it won’t even be a fight.
「Oioi, given that he came of age this year, that means his level is also in the single digits, no?」
「His Highness is a magic knight, you know? I guess he won’t even stand a chance against His Highness.」
「Well, can’t we just think of it as a way to kill time in this remote region?」
「Your Highness~, please take him down with a single blow. Show those beasts the difference in our level.」
「All right, let’s decide who will fight next, shall we?」
The prince and Gonzi step forward and get ready to fight. Around them, thirteen beastfolks and eight knights stand behind them. The prince pours magical energy into his high-purity mithril sword. If he hits Gonzi squarely, he will probably be cut in half.
「Die, you beast!」
*Thud, thud, thud* The prince rushes forward and swings down his sword. Huh, he can’t be serious, can he? Can’t he use Instant Step or something like that? His body movement is also like that of an amateur. I wonder if he is acting.
Gonzi easily dodges the prince’s sword. The prince is vigorously swinging his sword around, but Gonzi is dodging all the sword slashes with ease. Gonzi is on guard for a while, but perhaps judging that his opponent’s sword strikes are not that great of a deal, he begins to switch to attacking. He unleashes a powerful counter to the prince’s face that is not covered by his protective gear.
「Bugee, y, you mongrel. The gall you have to dirty my face. Pay for it with your life! Whuoooo!」
Considering the difference in jobs and levels, the attack probably didn’t do much damage, but it seems that the prince has ended up blowing his top. As usual, the prince swings his sword around vigorously. There is no faintest sign that the match will soon be decided, but the crowd is very excited. As everyone is excitedly cheering for them, the top of the wall, where we are right now, is shaking as if there is an earthquake. Marianne seems to be enjoying herself, while Cronin and Crichton are probably not too thrilled with it.
「Huff, huff, huff, quite the annoying beast you are. Very well, I’ll show you my true power!」
The prince seems to be weaving his magical energy. Is it Body Enhancement? No, he seems to be invoking magic. A large fireball appears above the prince’s head. It is quite large. Unlike the fireballs I know, it is simply humongous. But still, what is he going to do with such an obvious fireball? The opponent is fighting while making use of his speed, so I don’t think it will work. I wonder if he has some sort of plan.
However, the crowd is very excited, their cheers peaked, and my ears hurt. Well, sure enough, throughout my life up until now, I probably have never seen anything more enjoyable to watch than this.
「Die, Grand Fireball!」
The prince fires off the ball of fire, but as expected, it is easily dodged and the distance between them is closed. As he gets hit by a punch on the face, the prince gets his legs swept and is thrown to the ground. He ends up letting go of his sword and getting straddled by Gonzi.
「Whuooooo, Gonzi, there it is!」
「Goooo, finish him in one go!」
「Do it! Get him, Gonzi! You can do it!」
「Kill him!」
Amidst the cheers and angry roars, Gonzi, who is straddling the prince, is smashing his fists wildly at his face. The prince, unable to do anything, tries to move Gonzi away with both hands, but it doesn’t work, and his face is getting swollen. As expected, things are about to get bad, are they not?
「Not good, protect His Highness, charge!」
The handsome men charge forward simultaneously and slash at Gonzi. For them to intervene when the prince is about to lose in a one-on-one battle where he has an overwhelming advantage, talk about pathetic. As the handsome knight swings down his sword at him, Gonzi, who is defenseless in the mounting position, manages to narrowly avoid a fatal wound, but ends up suffering a wound on his arm.
「Those bastards! Hey, guys, let’s go!」
「「「Oooooh!」」」
The beastfolks also join the battle at once. This time it is a group battle. Raising a cloud of dust, they get into a melee battle. The knights form a battle formation… No, they do not form a formation, and are simply swinging their swords around vigorously. Unable to see what is in front of them due to the cloud of dust, there are some who fall into panic and slash at their comrades. Looking down at the scene from high walls, some of the soldiers are holding their sides with laughter, while some others are cheering. There seems to even be betting going on all over the place.
