Swordmeister Of Rome Chapter 129

Chapter 129: Rosharan

“Nngh…”

Rok.u.m glanced around in terror. He and the other Tian soldiers had fallen at the hands of the undead armies and the northern fortress had been taken over. The armies he had fought were now surrounding him. However, since he was now a prisoner, these armies did not attack him. They just stood there silently, staring at the prisoners as if they were pitied them for what was about to come next.

‘…huh?’

Something happened within the armies and Rok.u.m turned to the side. The armies parted and something floated out. Rok.u.m couldn’t see clearly due to dried-up blood on his eyes, so he shook his head to clear off some of the dried blood and squinted.

‘…a fairy?’

It was impossible, but it looked just like a fairy he knew from the legends. A small, child-like body with four wings on its back. Silver powder traced its path as the wings flapped. The face was also cute, but he wasn’t sure if it was a boy or a girl.

Rok.u.m and the other prisoners hoped this out-of-place being might have arrived to save them. The fairies they knew from legends loved pulling pranks, but they were always good.

However, they quickly realized it was just false hope.

Ralokura, the 27th daughter, smirked.

After they retreated deep into the Great Forest, escaping from the monster that attacked them a few thousand years ago, the Queen had been in a perpetual bad mood. However, the recent 400 years had been great.

That was because the Empire’s monkeys were wiped out 400 years ago.

When the Empire advanced into the Great Forest 600 years ago, they thought it was an opportunity. They wanted to enslave them and regain their peaceful lives. Their life without slaves within the Forest was too harsh.

But the monkeys they met after thousands of years were too different. Who would have thought these slave monkeys could become so strong with such mysterious powers?

They had to retreat back into the forest.

However, when the monkeys were gone, it was time to come back. A lot of those monkeys were still left. They were fearsome when grouped together in large numbers with their magic, but they were nothing when they were separated.

They began enslaving those monkeys who had been separated about the lands to increase their forces, as they did when they had created their kingdom thousands of years ago.

After a few hundred years of work, their power grew. It wasn’t much compared to their former glory, but Ralokura was satisfied that they now had a place in the Great Forest. However, her mother didn’t seem to be satisfied. She wanted to increase their territory and kept enslaving any survivors of the old Empire.

But they couldn’t advance south.

As they moved further into the south, the monster’s presence that destroyed their old Kingdom grew stronger. It was terrifying.

The monster, Dragona, walked slowly into their kingdom and swallowed their species and their Queen. A few of them barely survived after running into deep within the forest, which was Chrona’s territory.

The Queen seemed to be traumatized by the memory. It was why she let some groups that had the same energy as Dragona pa.s.s by.

However, something happened that made them rejoice.

The Queen shouted in joy. Now, nothing blocked their path. Their preparations were complete and the armies of slaves had been ready for a long time. The Queen began advancing southward.

They then arrived at the monkeys’ fortress.

They were afraid when they arrived at the fortress. It was the same place when they had to retreat 600 years ago. The magic the monkeys used was terrifying, and they might have advanced their powers. To their surprise, the monkeys seemed to have stepped backward in their power. No, their sword skills did increase but their magic was nowhere close to what they originally feared.

After they confirmed that their slaves could defeat the monkeys, what needed to be done next was simple.

Her brothers and sisters were probably busy increasing the number of slaves already.
