Amazing Village Building

Chapter 159: How dare he amuse himself like that this early in the day!

The now-reformed Viscount Dolz began talking with a meek look on his face.

Luke-sama, I have a request.

What is it?

is there a chance you can help me in taking back the territory that was once mine? Of course, unlike before, it wont be for my petty pride. No, this time, Id like to do it for the people. I want to govern the place so that I can make it, hopefully, as wonderful as your city.

Its not a city though; its a village.

Unfortunately, Viscount Frenco is much like how I was. I can tell that instead of focusing on developing his expanded territory now that Im out of the way, he would just find a different land to claim.

I didnt hear any resentment or animosity toward Viscount Frenco in his voice. That led me to think that maybe his prediction was an objective one.

I dont know how many years itll take to reclaim the land if it was just usso, ashamed though I might be, Luke-sama, please lend us your support.

I guess I dont mind.

Yes, I know, an insect like me is asking for too muchwait, youll help us!?

Yes. That much shouldnt be too hard.

N-not too hard? Viscount Frencos army has fully occupied our land though, so I fail to see how thats not too hardoh wait, are you bringing in the Albert army?

Nope.

I had zero power over the Albert forces, so I couldnt drive out Viscount Frenco by using it as a threat even if I wanted to.

Dont worry, I have a plan that might work without anyone getting hurt.

Luke-sama, just what is this tunnel

I built it. This should take us all the way to your capital.

What

Viscount Dolz was suddenly dumbfounded as we progressed through the underground tunnel. We had a fighting force of about a hundred, with Selens group of hunters serving as its core.

Our goal for the moment was to traverse the tunnel until we reach the viscounts castle in his capital. A villager with the [Infiltrator] Gift had already surveyed the grounds beforehand, and apparently, Viscount Frenco has been staying in this castle ever since he led his army into the Dolz territory.

The current plan is for us to emerge from the castles courtyard. Is that ok?

I dont think anyone will expect an enemy to appear there, so we should be able to proceed without much resistance

Alright, lets go with that.

If we were to infiltrate the castle and then capture Viscount Frenco, we should be able to take back the territory without anyone on any side getting hurt.

What should normally be impossible to even attempt

Well, this is Luke-dono, after all.

As ridiculous as evernormal strategies dont work against him anymore

While those around me talked like that, we made our way through the tunnel.

Were almost there.

Already!? O-only two hours have passed, hasnt it? Walking on foot should take at least two days

Through Facility Upgrade, I made it so that we moved faster.

It consumed quite a lot of village points though.

At first, I thought we should start travelling in an above-ground road and only use underground tunnels once we were at least halfway there. However, in order to increase our chances of executing a surprise attack, I decided that we should use underground tunnels right from the start.

Im going to build the staircase nowor rather, I guess I should build multiple staircases.

If I only built one staircase, all 100 of us wouldnt be able to emerge all at once.

Luke-sama, according to Babara, Viscount Frenco should be in this room at this time.

Satin explained so while pointing at a map. Through his [Telepathy] Gift, he was able to communicate with Babara, the one who infiltrated ahead of us.

To completely see whats going on inside the castle

My lord, isnt this room your bedroom?

That bastard! How dare he amuse himself like that this early in the day!

By the way, the castle layout has been shared with everyone beforehand, so there shouldnt be a case of anyone getting lost.

Are you all ready? On my mark, everyone go climb the stairs, alright? 3, 2, 1, go!

Now that I opened the tunnel, bright light flowed in.

Lets go!

Yes, maam!

With Selen in the front, everybody charged into the castle.

everybody except me as I was to remain here, apparently.
