Solo Eating to Overpowered Chapter 187

Episode 187 〈To a prosperous kingdom. 〉

Square of Chabert Estate.

I was in the command barracks.

The map was unfolded, and I looked at the capital of the Kingdom of Rom and the border area of Saber territory on the map.

Inside the barracks were Hans Charlotte, King Elise Franz, and Harman.

I looked at them and opened my mouth.

“The flame giant is advancing.”

There wasn’t even a moment to rest.

For some reason, a giant of flame was coming towards this place.

Other territories were ignored.

The good news is that the Jotuns are simply walking.

However, its pace was incomparable to that of a human, and its speed was incredible as it came without stopping day and night.

“Charlotte.”

When I called Charlotte, she nodded and pointed to the map with her finger.

“If we follow their footsteps, we will be here in 6 days.”

They could cover the distance that a human would have to ride on horseback without stopping just by walking.

“By then, the Chabert estate will be on fire.”

I have currently spent two days in the Chabert territory.

Starting tomorrow morning, I have to lead the refugees again and leave the border of the Kingdom of Rom.

“Then, let’s leave quickly…!”

Hans spoke as if he was scared, and Ellis shook his head.

“It’s impossible. I’ve taken care of the patients, but they’re all exhausted. I’m at my mental and physical limits. I need to rest for two days.”

It’s impossible to start now.

Everyone is exhausted.

“But if we keep going like this…!”

Hearing what Hans said, Harman crossed his arms and said,

“I’m sure we’ll catch up.”

It takes 7 days to leave the border of the Rom Kingdom and reach the border of the Holy Emperor.

Because the refugee procession is so long, the speed of the giants is quickly caught up.

“How about we send out troops and bide our time?”

King Franz came out.

He thanked me for my family and continued,

“We are going to make cavalry to lure them out.”

“They don’t get tired and they don’t slow down.”

You can lure them with cavalry.

However, if you do that, the cavalry will definitely die.

Above all, it is a giant of flame.

Just being around it makes it difficult to breathe, so the horses will get tired quickly.

In the end, they will be caught in a few hours and only casualties will be left. “ For now,

I have no choice but to run away.”

After dealing with the Flame Giant, I don’t have the confidence to deal with the remaining 300 Jotuns and even the minor vampires.

Even the Heavenly Army wouldn’t be able to withstand it.

“We’re leaving early tomorrow morning.”

It’s like only two days of rest in Chabert’s territory.

The more than 10,000 refugees now have seven days to go on reckless adventures.

“And in case the flame giant catches up.”

I forgot what to say.

As I was silent, Charlotte spoke for me.

“In the worst case scenario, someone will have to stay to stop it.”

The people gathered in the conference room looked surprised.

“And I am the best person to stop them.”

Charlotte steps forward and I shake my head.

The others say

they will stay.

“…It’s a useless sacrifice.”

Everyone stopped at my words.

In fact, even if someone were to remain, they would only be able to stop it for a few dozen hours.

They would be caught up again.

“Nothing will change even if you sacrifice. “Staying behind is the worst case scenario.”

This is something I really don’t want to talk about.

I don’t want to lose someone I know.

If there is to remain, there must be someone who can stop the Jotuns as much as possible.

Yes, if there is anyone who can stop it, it is only me.

This is the method to increase the survival rate the highest.

at that time. I felt a strange gaze.

Ellis looked at me quietly.

“why? “Do you have any opinions?”

“no. it’s nothing.”

Ellis shook his head left and right.

I tilted my head and spoke to the others.

“Because we need to be as calm as possible so as not to let the refugees know about this.”

“Hey…”

Hans raised his hand.

“What about supplies?”

Hans had brought supplies for a week from Chabert’s estate.

That’s a huge amount.

“Should I throw it away?”

When we leave tomorrow, all but a certain amount of the march will have to be abandoned.

Because it’s a hassle for evacuation for no reason.

“No, release the supplies right now. “It would be best to eat a full stomach and sleep to rest.”

Refugees are starving.

It would be a good idea to provide them with food to fill their stomachs and a comfortable place to sleep for tonight.

Hans nodded at my words.

“Then we disperse with this. “You guys are probably tired too, so get some rest.”

**

“His Majesty has released food!”

There is almost a festive atmosphere in the square.

Tables are brought from an empty house in the Chabert estate, lined up, and food is placed on them.

It is by no means a precious food. All that was left was non-perishable hard bread, water-filled soup, and easy-to-eat combat rations.

However, it will be valuable food for refugees who have been starving for several days.

Refugees gathered together and shared food.

I’m enjoying it quite a bit, gulping down water.

I wore a robe to hide my identity and looked around.

The refugees’ tense faces eased a little.

It’s a good sign.

I guess it’s reassuring.

If you panic for no reason and can’t even sleep, it will affect your march.

I hope you eat well and sleep well tonight.

“Thank you to them.”

I turned my attention to a familiar voice.

Grill and Edolf Yuria were seen in front of the military tent nearby.

Also, Marcus is caught in the middle.

“I can’t give you a reward now, but when I return to the Holy Emperor’s Kingdom, I will tell His Majesty,”

Yuri said happily.

“Really?”

“Haha, now Charlotte will see me again.”

Grill tightened his throat.

Edolf just drank in silence.

I smiled at them and approached.

Edolf looked at me and squirted out the alcohol in his mouth.

“Stop…!”

I pretended to cover my mouth with my finger.

It meant I didn’t want to cause a fuss.

Grill’s eyes widened.

Yuria looked up at me and tilted her head.

“You seem like I’ve seen you a lot somewhere.”

Yuria has never seen my face in person.

In Irans, I was wearing paladin armor, and when I rescued Marcus, I was wearing a bird’s beak mask.

At most, she just watched me from afar as I waved from the balcony during the Succession Ceremony.

” “Good luck, Your Majesty.”

Marcus adjusted his voice and spoke softly.

At that moment, Yuria seemed to be shocked and let go of the glass she was holding.

“Ah, Your Majesty? Do I have to be polite?”

When Yuria looked embarrassed, I waved my hand,

“There’s no need for that.”

Yuria looked at me with a blank expression.

At Yuria’s reaction, Grill twitched the corners of his mouth and spoke to me in a friendly manner.

“Your Majesty! It’s been a long time!”

The only person in this world who can see this kind of attitude is Hans.

Ah, are there Ruan and Hilda Saeran? In addition, there are even Brother Schupel.

There are surprisingly many.

I smiled bitterly.

“Thank you for saving my family.”

Marcus bowed his head and said,

“We just did what we had to do as a family.”

Even though he was my older brother, there was no need to respect him because the place was different.

Marcus smiled lightly.

I said, looking around at Edolf and the others.

“You guys worked hard too. “I’ll give you compensation later.”

“Thank you!”

The three people bowed their heads.

I nodded, drank my drink, and looked away.

I saw someone familiar.

It was Lawrence and Roy.

Two people are holding hands, walking down the street of the square and eating food.

Roy is smiling really happily.

Although Lawrence was tired from the evacuation, he never lost his smile.

I met good parents.

Now that I think about it, what happened to White?

Airans fell and news was cut off.

First of all, I was curious about the news because he was the biological father.

I’m also worried because I have a connection with Queen Rox.

Well, that person would have survived somehow.

I curled up the corners of my mouth as I looked at the refugees in the square smiling with faint but hopeful smiles.

“Still, it makes me feel at ease.”

At least when I saw them, my nervousness disappeared.

**

The next morning.

The procession of refugees began again.

Now we had to prepare to move to the Holy Kingdom as quickly as possible.

Otherwise there would be only despair.

I also rode a skeleton horse and Charlotte was about to escort me.

“Your Majesty.”

Ellis is bending down next to me.

A carriage was waiting behind her.

“Please get on.”

“no it’s okay. “I’m more comfortable this way.”

I pointed to the skeleton horse.

“If I have a carriage to ride, I can ride others. That way, we’ll speed up a little bit.”

Ellis made a perplexed expression.

Charlotte looked at Ellis.

“What’s going on? Saint.”

“This is to check on His Majesty’s physical condition, Marquis Charlotte.”

Charlotte paused.

I frowned.

“What do you mean?”

Ellis looked at me clearly,

“Just to confirm. please.”

“…”

It was difficult to refuse because his tone was serious.

I got into the carriage.

I took off my top.

Ellis patted his back and checked his condition.

“What’s going on?”

“I’ll have to do a detailed inspection to find out.”

Ellis changed to his normal speaking tone.

“How long does it take?”

“…about 5 hours.”

Oh my god, you want me to stay like this until then?

I moaned.

Ellis quietly placed her hand on her back as if she was concentrating.

I felt holy power flowing into my body.

I quenched my appetite and looked down at the bottom of the carriage.

There are numerous books lying around.

It was a book about the ancient Jotuns that I had asked Hans for.

Since I had nothing else to do, I opened the book.

It contains an ancient story.

A story about Jotun.

They had as many as four kings.

The ice giant Hrimr.

Shurt, the giant of flame.

Runginir, the earth giant.

The magical giant Urgar.

It is said that each deals with several properties.

It is said that they were originally created by the gods and were tasked with maintaining and protecting the balance of this world.

However, their arrogance went too far and they called themselves gods and wanted to destroy life and return the world to its natural state.

A place full of ice and flame sand.

A dry planet where all life has disappeared.

That was their ultimate goal.

The gods were angry at their rebellion and sealed them away.

Because it was a very old seal.

It gradually became weaker and the vampires released the seal.

“Among them, Hrimr is the lowest-ranking one.”

Ice giant Hrimr.

It is said that not only is it the weakest giant, but its power is also the weakest.

Oh my god, he’s the one who killed the White Bone King by firing wildly with a cannon, but he’s the weakest?

Then how strong are the other giants?

Next in line is Schurt.

It is a being that burns everything using its whip of flame.

He enjoys burning lives and torturing people, so much so that he is even described as a devil in the Bible.

We are being chased against such a Shurt.

At that time, Ellis, who was checking her body, muttered in an ecstatic voice.

“It’s broken.”

**

“It’s broken.”

Ellis had a blank expression.

‘Are you going crazy?’

She could tell that Allen’s physical condition was serious.

Apparently, it is an artificial body that destroys and regenerates the body.

In addition, in less than a month, he performed holy power without hesitation against the Ice Giant and Duke Agares.

Now he even used another legendary weapon.

That put a huge strain on my body.

‘I’ve been reckless with this body until now…’

Seonghwang was scolding himself.

It’s a miracle that I’ve survived until now.

“…Your Majesty.”

Allen was startled and turned to look at Ellis.

She said, resting her forehead against his shoulder.

“What were you planning to do if the Flame Giant caught up with you?”

“Yeah… we’ll have to fight.”

“Alone?”

Allen was silent.

Ellis was angry at that.

It’s obvious. He will try to stop it himself.

Like before, I will try to solve everything on my own.

“No.”

Ellis clenched his fists.

If you continue like this, you will explode and completely destroy your body.

Not only the body but also the soul.

Allen asked in response to Ellis’ reaction.

“what’s the matter?”

“Do not work too hard.”

Ellis raised his head.

She said, facing Allen.

“Don’t forget Your Majesty. “I am from the Astoria family.”

Ellis put her hand on her chest.

“I am Alice Astoria, the saint of this generation, who will assist you.”

She spoke firmly and with strong will.

“I, Ellis Astoria, pledge to fight alongside you. So,”

Ellis buried her face in his back once again.

“Please rely on me to help you.”
