I Somehow Got Strong By Raising Skills Related To Farming Chapter 5

Return of disaster

I arrived at s.h.i.+rusu village As darkness fell.

Man, that was dangerous. One mistake and I would have been dragged to the palace.

Nevertheless, a request for the extermination of wild boars. I didn't expect there to be so many around that they would need to request for extermination… And that forest dragon… was it? They hardly appear in these areas… Did something happen?

"Hm, no use worrying about it."

For now, having arrived back home, I put away the horses in the stable.

"I should also fix this soon."

I muttered to myself as I stared at the entrance without a doork.n.o.b. Ignoring that, I tried forcibly opening the door.

Then, with a loud crack, the door came off.

"Ehh…"

Isn't this increase in strength too difficult? *(maybe fix, makes no sense)

I glanced at the door that had fell out. *(this area was difficult, needs editing)

"Having broke it this much, I guess I have to fix it…"

A few hours earlier

The sighting of the forest dragon near s.h.i.+rusu village reached the King's ears thanks to Fal.

"Hm… A forest dragon in that forest… huh.
Well, stranger things have happened…"

But if you think about it, this was definitely a strange situation. Normally, it was impossible for a forest dragon to appear there.

However, this does happen very rarely, so it shouldn't be seen as some kind of sign.

"Hmmm… However, I can't help but get a bad feeling about this…"

While the king was busy pondering over this and muttering to himself, a fl.u.s.tered knight burst into the room.

"King-sama! It's an emergency!" *(is king-sama ok)

"Hainel, what has got you in such a rush?" *(I really didn't know how to structure)

"West side… From the direction of s.h.i.+rusu village, a swarm of monsters are approaching!"

"What!?"

"Their numbers are abnormal! Even if we exhausted all our strength, we do not know if we can suppress them. Just to be sure, the royal family should escape from the east side!!"

"How could a king leave his people behind and run!"

"Even so!! We are all replaceable, but no replacement exists for people such as yourself! You are our nation's last hope! So please! Run away!"

"You are all replaceable? Stop messing around! I do not think any of you as being so disposable!"

"But the only people who could rebuild the kingdom are you and your family! Moreover…"

Hainel turned around, and a large group of knights came into the room.

There were ordinary knights and even commanders.

"We're not going to be so easily beaten!"
"Let's send those monsters away!"
"We ain't thinking about losingー!!"

Seeing the knights raise the morale, Hainel returned his gaze towards the king once again.

"…As you can see, we have no intention on losing. We are not alone, either – even the adventurers will be coming to help us. Your evacuation is simply to guarantee your safety. Please, do not worry. We will protect this country to the very end."

"…I want you all to come back alive."

Hearing these words, Hainel and the other knights kneeled.

"""""As you command!"""""

Having finally finished fixing the front entrance, I was sleeping comfortably but…

"Hey! Al! Wake up!"

Late at night, I was suddenly woken up by Testa.

"What is it Testa… And what are you dong trespa.s.sing…"

"This isn't the time to be saying stuff like that!"

"What happened?"

「村の近くを魔物の群れが通ってんだ！

いつ奴等がここを狙うかわからない。
早くここから離れるぞ！　必要な物だけ持ってくれ」

"A swarm… of monsters?"

Why this late at night?

"Yeah, I don't know the details but there are even some that you don't see in these areas. Come on, let's go quickly."

An unnatural increase in the amount of monsters, the appearance of creatures that are rarely seen nearby, and the grouping of these monsters…

"Nnー…"

"What's wrong Al?"

"No, I had this feeling somewhere…"

Ah…, could it be…

"Hey Testa, where are those monsters headed?"

"They're moving to the east, so… I'm pretty sure their aim is the capital."

…sigh, there's no mistaking it. *(is sigh alright? or should i say "hmm"/"haa")

"This is the same development as the invasion from h.e.l.l…"

h.e.l.l's invasion, or h.e.l.l zone.

A few hundred years ago, a swarm of monsters had attacked the capital, cornering it to a near-collapse. Since then, it has been referred to as the worst calamity ever caused by monsters.

"…Things are becoming quite difficult…"
