Overgeared

his moment, he realized he hadn’t been trying his best.
He made up his mind to do even more.

“Have you decided on the strategy to attack the vampire cities?”

The named bosses sleeping in a vampire city dropped the best items.
It was important to raise the power of the Overgeared Kingdom by occupying the vampire cities.

“Yes, I have excluded the 2nd city, which is believed to contain Marie Rose and the 1st city, which is estimated to have the highest level of difficulty, from the attack list.
We will clear the remaining seven cities sequentially.”

“The raid group members?”

“A party will be formed with Your Majesty and the viscount members.”

The viscount members included the top members of the Tzedakah Guild: Jishuka, Pon, Regas, etc.
There was also Peak Sword, Euphemina, Chris, and Katz.

“It’s great…”

“At first, I thought to include a wider variety of people in the party.
But I thought an overall power boost was necessary.”

The empire failed to destroy Valhalla and the cause of the failure was placed on the Undefeated King’s descendant. Right now, they were afraid to approach Valhalla and might detour to the Overgeared Kingdom first.
Lauel thought it would be better to raise the power of the Overgeared Kingdom.

“If the third advancement users don’t grow now, they won’t have the ability to deal with the solo number knights.
I think it would be better to focus on raising the high level members in preparation for going against the empire.”

Grid had directly witnessed the skills of the solo number knights and agreed.

“That’s true…”

In particular, the growth of Chris, Faker, and Regas were necessary. If they became more powerful than they were now, maybe they could fight one on one with a solo number knight.
Grid nodded and Lauel added.

“Ah, Ruby and Sexy Schoolgirl will also go with you.”

“…Do they have time?”

“The two of them have decided to focus on Satisfy rather than their studies.”

“Y-Yes…”

Grid felt sorry for the vampires.
And at this moment, Grid’s misfortune was triggered.

“…”

The national cemetery of the imperial capital, Titan. The Red Knights were gathered where the empire’s lords were sleeping. They were dressed in black mourning clothes.
It was to honor their colleagues who died in the war against Valhalla.

“A moment of silence.”

The black outfit made her white skin more noticeable. Mercedes bowed her head and everyone followed her. 

“…Sir Lorex, I will surely avenge you.”

“SIr Dia…
I won’t forget your sacrifice.”

“…”

The Red Knights started to sob.
Pain filled their chests. However, their leader Mercedes was silent and didn’t shed any tears.
Her role wasn’t to share in the sorrow, but to get revenge.

“Prepare to leave.”

After the funeral. Mercedes broke through the heavy mourning and gave an order to her aide, Sky.
At this moment, a quest window appeared in front of Sky.

‘Finally…!’

He was the first player to receive the opportunity to become a Red Knight.
The ambitious Sky had been working only for this moment.

'…Climb up the ladder step by step.”

One day, he would become a solo number knight and stand side by side with Mercedes.

'Then I will make you my girl.’

An ugly smile appeared on Sky’s face.
His gaze swept over Mercedes’ white neck.

“Three brothers have died.”

The nine direct descendants of Shizo Beriache. Among the vampires, they had transcendent power, but were under the Curse of Idleness.
They spent most of their life sleeping.
They belatedly received the news that Elfin Stone, Tiramet, and Latina had died.

“I don’t know about Tiramet and Latina, but I can’t believe Elfin Stone…”

Earl Elfin Stone.
The nine.
No, if Braham was included, then Elfin Stone was one of the top members among the ten direct descendants. 

“But to be killed by humans…”

“Is it one of the rumored legends? People like Muller.”

“Hasn’t it been a few hundred years? Muller and the other legends are long dead.”

“Eh…? Then who killed Elfin Stone…? Um…
Ummmm…”

“…Kuooh…
Kuoooh…”

“…Drrrool!”

The direct descendants gathered after hundreds of years. Apart from Duchess Marie Rose and Marquis Fenrir, all of the direct descendants gathered in one place started to fall asleep.
It was the fearful Curse of Idleness.
