The signal smoke exploded in the sky, and in an instant, countless people's eyes turned to the direction of the signal.

[Location: Dragon Bone Grassland Border]

The adventurers from the large adventure group "Whale Swallow" raised their heads.

A fat man with a whale-like physique raised his head and said, "An emergency rescue signal from the Royal Guards? Someone, send a wizard into the air to check the situation."

After a while, the wizard came down from the sky: "Captain, on the north-south border, the Colossus's "Pigeon" regiment seems to be exchanging fire with a giant skinny clown and a group of undead together with the royal guards."

"There are a lot of undead crawling out of the ground on either side of them. Should we evacuate?"

The fat Whale Devouring Captain laughed and said, "Skinny clown? You are young and have never heard of it. That is not the undead, but the living dead created by the Mad King."

"Interesting. You want to create the Ten Bloody Days on our land of Enser? Yaer, you really don't consider yourself an outsider."

A group of adventurers raised their heads and looked at their leader, "Whale Shark".

The whale shark scratched his ears and said, "I heard that the title "Colossus" was obtained after he and others surrounded and killed the King of the Living Dead."

"What a coincidence, I also want to be a nickname, do you think "Whale Shark" sounds good?"

Everyone shouted in unison: "That sounds good!"

The whale shark grinned: "The guild must have made some guesses, otherwise they wouldn't have let us come here. Maybe we can get money from the sponsor later!"

"Boys, the wealth and prosperity is right before your eyes, do you want to join us?!"

A group of adventurers gradually showed grim smiles on their faces.

"Kill them! Kill them!"

The sound was deafening, and the group of people seemed like the embodiment of greed. The whale shark laughed: "You are worthy of being my good members. Then let's cut off one side of the zombies first, and then take off the head of the Clown King."

…

【Location: Smoky Mountains】

The scout of the Royal Guards frowned and looked at the flare in the distance, took a deep breath, closed his eyes, and opened them again. His pupils suddenly shrank to a dot.

Extraordinary feat - Eagle Eye, effect activated.

He quickly locked onto the grassland border fifteen kilometers away and could vaguely see the blurry figure of a huge monster.

"This is weird. Which group of brothers would go head-to-head with the King of the Living Dead?"

"Huh? Why are there still adventurers?"

He interrupted his observation and rushed to the head of the reconnaissance team: "Lord Asa, in the direction of Dragon Bone Grassland, there are brothers of the Royal Guard exchanging fire with the King of the Living Dead."

"A group of zombies are beginning to crawl out from the foot of the mountain range. It's... the place we checked before."

The person in charge, Asa, and the scout looked at each other. After a moment, Asa cursed, "Idiot, pass on my order. The reconnaissance team discovered traces of large-scale activities of the living dead under the mountains a few hours ago. We are fighting them now."

"Let the scout team and the rangers surround and kill the zombies below the mountain. Coordinate with each other in groups of three and attack in sections to clear out the zombies in the area."

"The rest of you, follow me and follow behind! No matter which brother in the group is fighting the King of the Living Dead, our reconnaissance team will definitely lend a hand!"

Asa's face turned pale: "Fortunately, the problem broke out early. If something happened after we finished the search, Boss Jino would have planted me in the ground!"

…

[Location: Central Dragon Bone Grassland]

"Wow, Lumi, you're hurting me."

At this time, the little swan Olivia, who ran away with the bucket, trembled as she looked at the head maid with a dark face.

At this time, Rumi was wearing half armor, and the original black and white maid skirt was turned into an iron battle skirt, giving a feeling of "I will attack as a combat maid."

"Your Highness, it is wrong to run away from home. Even if you want to go out for a walk, you must report to your family."

Lumi stood in front of a group of royal knights on horseback.

Olivia was riding a dragon horse raised by the royal family. The horse had extremely strong legs, so much so that it took the royal guards some time to catch up with her on horseback.

Um, as for how Lumi came about...

One of the guards looked cautiously at the traces of trampled toenails on the grass.

"Catching up with our horses on foot? What kind of monster is that! Where did this Paragon-class come from?"

Suddenly, there was a loud explosion in the sky.

The little swan's eyes lit up and he shouted, "Lumi! Lumi! Look, it's the signal flare from the royal guards. I knew something was going to go wrong on the grassland. Humph, it seems that running away from home was a wise decision."

A sonic boom was heard, and her figure disappeared from the ground and soared into the sky a hundred meters high.

Boom! After landing again and making a big hole in the ground, Lumi, after finding out the situation, fell into deep thought: "Strange, it turned out to be His Highness Louis?"

"That's not right. Doesn't His Highness already have Iron Guards and Ravens protecting him? Logically, no more people will be assigned."

"But there are wars going on in the east, northeast, and southeast. The entire Dragon Bone Grassland is in chaos."

"Even if Her Highness Beatrice likes Lord Louis very much, she can't mobilize so many troops. The Emperor's faction will have objections."

It took only a few seconds for her to think about this, and by then the Royal Guards' scouts had already understood the situation:

"Lady Olivia, Lady Lumi, we have confirmed that the people fighting in the east are our brothers who are doing reconnaissance in the Smoky Mountains."

"The battle in the northeast is fought by a large group of adventurers led by the Whale Devouring Adventure Group."

"In the southeast, the attack was launched by monsters and two dragons that we have never seen before."

Lumi was surprised: "Dragon?"

The scout said, "Yes, two blue dragons, but they don't look like five-colored blue dragons."

Olivia jumped up, shaking her hands and shouting, "I know, I know, it's the Sapphire Dragon!"

Now that things have come to this, there is no need to hide it anymore.

Olivia transformed into a wise man after the event and briefly explained the news she knew and the related speculations.

The little swan patted his flat chest and said confidently:

"That's why I'm running away from home. At worst, you can take me back."

"I admit that I gambled a lot, and luckily, I won!"

"It's so satisfying! So satisfying!"

"This wave of nonsense not only directly brought out the hidden dangers that I didn't know about in my previous life, but even the two dragons in the Smoky Mountains could no longer hide."

“Hey! That’s right! That’s the dumbfounded look. I’m Olivia, the wisdom of the empire!”

Olivia happily enjoyed everyone's surprised and moving looks.

Lumi's expression was even more different.

"If that's the case, then let's put the Sapphire Dragons aside for now. All Royal Guards, listen up!"

The cavalry are clanging, and the swords are equally famous.

"We are now in an emergency. All guards must prepare for a first-level battle. Speed ​​up in the direction of the flare and rush to Prince Louis' aid!"

What is our Louis doing at this time?

That’s right, he’s running! Rimuru’s body turned into pudding, wrapping up the three members of the Cat Pirates and the Colossus leader. Two tiny arms stretched out from his pudding-like soft body.

Like a slingshot.

Stretch!

Tighten up!

Take everyone and start!

Behind them, the crazed Clown King was kneeling and crawling quickly on the ground with the intention of flattening the earth. The lawn was plowed out by the fierce impact, leaving a tunnel.

"No one told me that this guy's challenge level is 17!"

"Why can other zombies be dissolved, but it is not harmed by acid at all!"

“Rimuru, help, help, help, help…”

"Don't come over here!"

This scene of it chasing and him escaping has a kind of funny and brain-stem-missing beauty.

Until he saw the royal guards rushing towards him from afar, and the little swan held in Lumi's arms -

Tears burst out!
