A Highest Rank in Another World!

While Noah recovered and the adventurers settled into one of the houses for the night, the weather had turned rainy again.

In the capital of Southlein, heavy rain fell on the city as the eerie silence filled the streets. No people on the street and just a few soldiers scattered here and there.

The houses were now silent with their lights off.

And that happened after the announcement that took place this afternoon.

From the castle, a loudspeaker created by a certain woman shouted the following words.

"The war is over." At first, people put a smile on their faces and celebrate their likely victory.

Inside one of the houses, a certain conversation took place.

"We are going to buy a lot of meat to celebrate. And we can also party with our friends tonight."

"Yes."

"Mommy, Mommy, is it finally over?"

"Yes, and you know what? It ended in the best way possible."

A father, mother, and daughter smiled happily as they celebrated in their humble and somewhat dirty home. On their table, snacks had been prepared before the news arrived.

And now with this wonderful news, they hoped to have the best snack of their lives and then start preparing for the party that would take place in the entire capital.

Of course, it was a celebration that was interrupted by the terrifying phrase that came out of the same loudspeaker that before once brought happiness to their lives.

"Unfortunately Southlein's army has been destroyed." Those words caused that little family to crumble into deep despair and sadness.

Her daughter, who before was once graced with her parents' smiles, was now tormented by the tears and despair in the eyes of those two people she loved the most. And just like that, she started to cry while not understanding exactly what was happening.

This was repeated everywhere.

The capital that was once shrouded in joy has fallen into a sea of ​​despair.

Nobles who had not yet received the information prepared to flee if necessary, the common residents who would not be able to flee suddenly, just began to pray.

No, some of them were also thinking of fleeing to Nortlein, which was another human country that would surely welcome them with open arms.

But ignoring all the sad mood, a woman's cheerful voice continued to come out of the loudspeaker.

"Don't despair, I guarantee you everything will be fine." It was a useless phrase and it didn't help at all, it didn't give any of the residents' hope.

Already in Beastled, the soldiers who arrived were already celebrating since they arrived from the battle. Residents also cheered everywhere after the arrival of their families who had been sent to war.

Barbecue is being done in the middle of the street.

Crowded nightclubs. Several family dinners happening at the same time, that's what was happening in Beastled at the moment.

Except in the castle, where the king sat on his throne as he stared at the armors in front of him. When them presenting themselves to the king on the first day, the king ordered them to leave for a while.

But of course, during that time, the king feasted a lot. As he had no family and was alone in the castle, he feasted alone in his dining room while being served by thousands of maids.

In addition to the maids, there were also the soldiers who watched the abundance of drinks and food with envy.

And after their celebration, the day had come for their meeting set with the armors.

'I may have won this battle, but this war is not over yet. It will only end when Southlein is destroyed.' The little king sitting on the throne thought as he smiled.

"You guys did a good job. It wasn't like I imagined, as I thought you guys wouldn't have to interfere that much, but it was a good battle." The king said happily.

The armors remained silent, listening to everything.

"But now I need to know. Are you guys willing to go to Southlein and destroy everything? Or does your master think it's not a good idea?"

The armors did not respond and waited for a few more words from the king.

"I know your master told you to obey me, but I cannot order you guys to destroy a country without his permission. But... He wanted to start this war, then his goal must be to destroy Southlein."

The king put a thoughtful expression on his face.

"Well, but whatever. What do you think about this? Are you guys going to do this?" The king asked the armors and this time they finally moved to answer. The rightmost armor stepped forward.

"Number 1..." The king said as he stared at the armor.

"You can leave this with us."

"So are you guys going to attack Southlein?"

"Yes, we had received this order before. We can do this today if necessary."

"Today?" The king placed a hand on his chin and began to think carefully.

The war was just over.

Southlein is short on soldiers.

They are still suffering from the losses in the war and are also afraid that something might happen.

'Isn't this a great opportunity?' A smile spread across the king's face as he took in the situation. For him, this was the best moment!

Southlein was suffering, they are afraid. If by chance they do an attack now, nothing could be done, Southlein would be easily destroyed, this was a magnificent opportunity. They had to do it today.

"Okay, I think this is great." The king rose from the throne.

"All right, we'll go directly to the capital of Southlein. After the destruction of the capital, we will visit every city in the country before returning. Maybe it will take some time, do you think everything is fine?"

"Yes, it's okay."

"Don't you think any of us should stay behind to keep the capital safe?"

"There is no necessity. Southlein has no more strength and we are not being threatened by other countries, we are safe." The king said confidently.

"Alright, we're leaving." The armor turned and then left the room along with the other seven armors.

After the armors leaving, the king began to laugh uncontrollably as he thrashed on the throne. This went on for a few more seconds before he straightened his posture on the throne and put a weird smile on his face.

"The time has come, Southlein will be destroyed." He began to laugh again as he amused himself by imagining the despair of the King of Southlein and its residents.

A few miles away in Tineever town where the monster army had passed.

Royma, who was isolated with some employees in the adventurers' guild until a few days ago, decided to go directly to the capital to seek help. People's bodies were still lying around the city.

The buildings were all damaged.

Monster bodies were still there.

The destroyed gate also allowed the entry of other monsters attracted by the smell of blood. The city was like hell, so Royma decided to take her guild workers who had survived and run straight to the capital.

Horses throughout the city had been killed, so they had to walk towards the capital.

They just grabbed the necessary food and water and left Tineever. The women who didn't know the level of destruction, as soon as they stepped outside the guild began to despair.

Without the heart to go home and see their families, they decided to just leave for the capital together with Royma without checking anything.

And now it had been three days since they'd left Tineever, but they still hadn't reached the capital.

A trip from Tineever would take 2 days if it was done by carriage, but since they are walking, they would take at least four days.

During the entire journey, it was a little difficult. The women couldn't accept what had happened and spent the entire way crying. Royma just listened to everything and couldn't comfort the girls.

She just moved on while trying to get those horrible images she had seen out of her mind.

But it wasn't easy.

But even so, she was sure that if she reached the capital, they would be helped. People cannot be resurrected, but with help, a dignified end would be given to the bodies of its residents.

And maybe your city would be rebuilt again.

This was a dream that she finds difficult to fulfill. At the moment, she just wanted to get her employees to safety and then think about what to do next.

"So we lost the war?" The guild master of the capital of Southlein was sitting at his desk as he listened to that announcement.

He sighed and thought hard about what would happen from now on.

"Since we lost, it won't be long before the capital is Beastled's target, but how long will it take?" The guild master got up and went to the window.

The weather was a little chilly and everything was dark and silent around the city.

"Should I stay here or should I go after Dala and Clachel? If I stay here I would be involved in this battle and that's something I shouldn't do."
