CH 298.5
“Tuh ……!? Again …… What the hell is happening? The clansmen of Oburaien and Albatross that we sent to Glasco’s territory are also losing their magical responses one by one. “
When Apollos saw the crystal on his desk pop, he tilted his head and muttered to himself.
In the past few months, the magical reactions of both Kelbrem and Oburaien in Oriola territory, as well as more than twenty clan members, have disappeared, and Apollos shows a grim expression.
“I don’t really care how many pieces disappear, but it’s a hassle to replenish them. I’ll tell the king and ask him to buy some slaves. But what’s going on in Glasco territory ……”
Then there was a knock on the door of the room and a maid’s voice came from outside.
“A-Apollos-sama, may I ……? Albatross-sama has returned.”
“Oh, have him come in.”
When I replied, thinking that the maid was in a hurry, the door was opened. Then there was a battered Albatross standing there laughing.
“Yo, It’s been a long time, Lord Founder.”
“Hey, did you abandoned the Clansmen and came back? You mercenaries are a foul lot, as expected.”
“Nonsense.”
When Albatross became resentful and narrowed his eyes at Apollos, Apollos chuckled and led him to the couch, where he sat down opposite him and poured two glasses of liquor in his hand before offering them to Albatross.
“I’m glad you’re back …… though I can’t say that you’re safe in any way. Oburaien’s response disappeared, did he fail?”
“…… Yeah. It’s like Sonia got a little ahead of herself and the son who isn’t fat had more wits about him than she thought. As for me, I thought I was setting a trap, but it turned out to be a setup.”
“Hmm. By who?”
“…….”
Albatross was silent for a moment, took a sip of his drink, took a deep breath, and opened his mouth.
“…… It’s the Minister and Inquisitor of the Reflexion Kingdom. Those guys are dangerous. The knights who were with him were also well-coordinated and competent. You should be cautious about messing with them.”
“I see, another bunch from the castle again. Gust territory, Oriola territory, and Glasco territory …… So all territories that I have sent assassins into seems to be wiped out.”
“That’s how it is. They already know it was us, the Gospel …… They’ve seen our tattoos, after all …… they know we’re here too, and if we make any more moves, the Reflexion Kingdom might attack Berias. “
When Albatross told him with a serious face, Apollos laughed, and then–
“Stop screwing me!”
“Guh ……”
He threw the glass he was holding at Albatross and became enraged, and Albatross’ forehead cracked open and blood began to flow. In addition, the magic power flowed into the crystal, and the tattoo on Albatross’ left shoulder sent electric shocks of magic through his body.
“Uh …… guh …… Even though I’ve survived, can you hold back a little, Lord Founder?”
As Albatross closes his eyes, licking the blood from his forehead, Apollos didn’t have any intention to hide any of his annoyance and raises his voice.
“I’ve had my hands on it for ten years! I’ve been working on Gust, Oriola, and Glasco for twenty years! And they all ended in failure, how can I not react like this! The abominable people of the Reflexion Kingdom …… You guys too! Why didn’t you just stab each other, and cause chaos in his territory!”
“Tch, our clan members also been killed, and the opponent is too strong for me to kill him …… What the hell is going on in that country? We’re working for you, but you didn’t tell us what’s your purpose. Lord Founder, what’s going on here?”
Albatross leans back against the sofa, and Apollos clicks his tongue, falls silent, gets up, picks up his glass, and then–
“”
“Oh ……”
He applied healing to the Albatross to heal his wounds, poured the drink into the glass again, and let out a sigh.
“Well, It’s also my fault for leaving it to the common people, huh. Well, whatever, we have plenty of time.”
“Hey, what’s the purpose of–“
“But the people of the Reflexion Kingdom are certainly troublesome. Has anyone else tried to interfere?”
“No …… there isn’t.”
Albatross left his seat, wondering if he was going to tell the purpose.
“Are you going? You’ll have to gather up the clan members again, and I’ll have my slaves replenished. When you have more men, bring them to me. Thank you for your hard work.”
“Thank you. I’m going to get some rest.”
When Albatross left the room, he took one look at the door, tipped his glass and downed the drink in one gulp.
◆ ◇ ◆
“As expected of the Lord Founder, he’s so determined.”
“Hey, Albatross, so you made it back in one piece?”
“……!? …… So it’s Retzel, you scared the hell out of me. You didn’t save me, huh?”
“I was already heading back this way, after all …… I’m surprised you survived, though.”
Albatross’s body tensed up at the words, but he quickly lowered his shoulder and shook his head.
“I guess so. Pretending to be dead is not something to be taken lightly. After I was buried, I came out on my own. I almost died for real, though.”
“Thanks for your help. But be careful, okay? The Lord Founder is smart, so you have be careful that he doesn’t find out.”
“……! You ……”
“Now, now, I’m-, not-, interested in that kind of thing. I’m just following the Lord Founder because I think it will satisfy my needs. Oh, and if you’re not too busy, Albatross, why don’t you go to Gust territory?”
“What ……?”
◆ ◇ ◆
“–Nevertheless, they sure hinder us a lot. I was going to crush them from the inside, but that didn’t work out as well as I thought. It’s a big risk for me to go out there, but I have to think about it, I guess? Albatross, what are you hiding.”
A few moments had passed since Albatross had left the room.
Apollos had just emptied the liquor bottle and was sitting in front of the crystal, his hand on his chin, thinking about the future. He wondered if it would be difficult to complete the “objective” with the “disposables” like Retzel and Albatross.
As the king said, it might be a good idea to attack other countries like Luitzar and Oufa first to increase their strength, and then use their power to destroy the Reflexion Kingdom.
“I’ve lost a few Wiseman’s Soul, but I still have the fighting power …… Are you there? You guys.”
As Apollos said this, a figure appeared out of the darkness.
How long will it be before Apollos stands in the way of Lars, who will inadvertently destroy his plans for the Gospel’s Descent?
Do you think Apollos will fight Lars in a little while?
Is that the final chapter ……?
Thank you for reading!

“Ahhhhhhhhhhh, I want to play a game! I want to drink! I want to eat cheese!”
