The First Conqueror's

[B3] 'Help to think of title

Edward and Ars now sat down, listening to Eriaz, next to William.

Eriaz recounted how they were attacked by William, starting when they entered the forest area near Trige, before nothing suspicious. But as they entered the middle of the forest they began to realize that someone was monitoring them from a distance. 

Although they realize that, they continue their journey while being vigilant, because they can be attacked anytime. And they did not realize that the ones monitoring their movements were the Demons.

"At that moment, we realized that Miss Ema had disappeared. I don't know where he is, there's a possibility that without us even realizing he was kidnapped and killed by the demons." Eriaz.

William frowned when he heard it. He felt something strange. It was impossible for someone who served as the guild secretary to just disappear, without realizing the people around him. It's not that it's impossible, but the chances of it happening are very small.

Eriaz continued his story. While they were in the middle of the forest they were attacked by the Demon army, and some among the demon army there were also high-class monsters.

Many of the adventurers were killed at the time of the incident. And with forced Eriaz had to leave their bodies because on his side there were also injured.

That was when they tried to find a hiding place in the forest, and they accidentally found a cave in that place. They eventually hid there.

And on the 3rd night their hideout was discovered by them and that's when they were attacked again by the demon army. At the same time Sin came to rescue them. 

William looked at Sin. 

"Sin, thank you." William.

For William, whatever Sin's status, William remains grateful. Because he is a lot of people who can survive.

Sin who saw and heard William thank him. Panicked and knelt down toward William.

"Sir, please don't do that again. It's my duty to do what's best for you, sir." Sin Say.

William stood up and approached Sin, and placed his right hand on Sin's left shoulder, and said.

"Whatever you say, you've helped others and I'm proud of you Sin, I thank you because you deserve that." Obviously William

Hearing that, Sin lowered his head deeper, "Together My Master."

Edward and Ars, who saw how William highly valued his subordinates, felt that William's relationship with his subordinates was not just the status of superiors and subordinates, but a bond that was indeed very strong between William and them.

★★★

Sin also reported what he had experienced when he discovered Eriaz's whereabouts and fought the Demons.

"Oh yes, sir. When I fought them, it turned out that they were led by a Demon General." Report Sin.

William's expression became more serious, upon hearing the report Sin said.

Out of curiosity, William asked who the Demon General was.

"Who is he, Sin?" Ask William.

"... I don't remember what his name is, sir. But he clearly said he was the 10th Demon General." Answer Sin.

William looked at Sin with a tired look. Only Sin fights but does not know what his enemy's name is.

But speaking of the tenth Demon General then William had never met him either.

William asked Sin again.

"Then how did it go? Did he manage to escape?" Ask William.

"I've finished him off with all his troops, sir." Answer Sin.

William certainly knows how strong Sin is. And if that's what he said, then that's exactly what happened.

"Good Work, Sin." Bala Williams.

On the other hand,-

"What!!!" 

Edward was shocked to hear that.

'Beating the Demon General with his army... and alone!?' inner Edward.

Edward did not expect what he had heard just now, one of William's subordinates defeated the Demon General by himself and also finished off his army. That's not something to be taken lightly.

Edward honestly could not immediately believe what he heard, but seeing William who was very confident in what his subordinates said, inevitably he believed it. 

As well as Edward, Ars who also heard it was shocked.

"Imust be!" Ars Saying.

'No matter what it was, fighting an enemy of the caliber of a Demon General was no easy feat. Plus against his army, and it defeated itself, Ars' inner self.

Ars thought the same with Edward. And also he did not know about this at all. What he reported to the King was only the Demon Army ambushing the adventurers, nothing more. Hearing this really made him very shocked.

'Actually who is he?' ars, looking at William.

And that makes Ars very curious about William. 

At a time when his mind was still preoccupied with what he had just heard from Sin. Edward remembered the mission assignment Derrick had ordered him to do.

Edward interrupted their conversation and asked

"I'm sorry if I interrupted William's conversation. But there's something we have to confirm first with the Guild chairman, William." Said Edward.

Hearing that William turned towards Edward and said.

"That's true, but it doesn't seem like we can do that right now" William replied.

"Hm?! Whatchu mean?" Ask Edward.

Edward was confused as to why William had said that to him. 

Ars, who also heard it, added, and explained to Edward.

"I'm sorry, Prince. But what Mr. William said is true, that we can't do that now. Because the Guild Leader of inggrasia is now still unconscious." Ars said, glancing at Daru who was still unconscious.

While following Ars's eyes, "So he's the head of the Guild, from Inggrasia?" Ask Edward.

Edward had just met the chairman of the Inggrasia Guild this time, so he had no idea that Daru was a Guild leader.

And at that moment, the one who answered him was Eriaz.

"Yes, you're right, Prince. He was Daru, the head of the adventurer Guild in Inggrasia, as well as the head of all Guild leaders. He is also my Master's subordinate, Mr. William."  Eriaz.

Without permission William Eriaz revealed it in front of Edward and Ars. 

" "What!!!" " 

Both Edward and Ars were shocked when they heard that.

"William, are you really their great leader?" Ask Edward.

William was at a loss to answer what, to him, he could become the guild's great leader as well impromptu and he initially knew nothing.

"Tide,-..."

When William wants to answer, and avoid the question. Eriaz answered Edward's question.

With a proud expression Eriaz said,-

"Yes, that's right, my lord is the leader as well as the owner of the entire adventurer Guild spread across the various kingdoms." Answer Eriaz.

"...." 

William just kept silent with his silly expression, while looking at Eriaz who said that with great pride.

And William now protested, 'What did he say!!!' inner William 

Edward, who heard this from Eriaz, turned to William and asked him, "William? Why didn't you tell me about this?" 

Edward really did not know that William turned out to be the great leader of the adventurer guild. And hearing this from Eriaz, made him know this important information from his friend.

William also tried to answer it by evading.

"Yes, it,-"

But again, it was cut off and answered by someone else. This time the answer is Sin.

With a proud smile on his face as Sin answered Edward's question.

"My master didn't really like to mention it directly. He is a very simple man." Answer Sin.

"...."

Once again William could only remain silent while watching Sin with his silly expression, as he watched Sin say that.

'I am the one who was asked why you answered!' william is annoyed by Sin and Eriaz's behavior.

When William saw Ars who was next to Edward. He saw Ars's eyes as if he saw his figure as outstanding in Ars's eyes.

'Please don't look at me with those eyes.' William's inner being begs Ars not to look at him with a look that gives him such goosebumps.

As they were talking about it, suddenly a weak voice called out to William.

"...T-lord…"

William hurried to Daru.

★★★

"Ughhh!" Daru groaned in pain as he tried to wake up.

William who approached her, directly blocked Daru who was trying to wake up. And told him to stay lying down.

"Dari,.. Don't force yourself to lie down." William.

Daru followed William's orders.

"...I'm sorry, Sir. Because it's troubling you." 

He apologizes to William for failing to provide support and instead becomes a problem for William.

But William, who understood that, did not think too much about it, and instead was glad Daru had regained consciousness.

"It's okay, I've heard everything from Eriaz, so it's not your fault." Reply William..."And don't push yourself too much, you just regained consciousness, and get some rest." Added William.

"Thank you, sir." Reply Daru.

"Yes" said William.

Daru also became more relaxed when he heard that, from William. 

"Actually where is this?" Ask Daru while looking at the ceiling of the room.

"You are now in Trige City Hospital" replied William.

"The trig? So this is in Dorsania, yeah." Mumbled Daru.

"Yes, you're in Trige now." Reply William who heard Daru's murmur.

Daru did not remember what happened after he was injured, and was unconscious. What he remembered was that he was suddenly hit by an attack on his head and his gaze turned dark.

"Sir, what exactly happened?" Ask Daru

Daru was just curious about what happened after he was unconscious, and how he got to Trige.

★★#

At that time the one who explained to Daru, about what happened was Eriaz. 

"...so so it is.." said Daru limp.

He did not expect that the one who became the main target was himself. Daru who heard how he could be unconscious from Eriaz was truly grateful.

Just then there was an extremely fast ball of energy shot towards him from afar. Eriaz who saw the energy ball immediately tried to quickly pull Daru to avoid it from the energy ball. But the energy ball still grazed Daru's head, and made him instantly unconscious.

"Then how about the others?" Ask Daru.

"Many were killed in ambushes at that time, and half of the survivors were also severely injured." Answer Eriaz.

"..." 

Daru only kept silent as he closed his eyes after hearing that.

"Eriaz, has Ema been found?" Ask Daru.

Shaking his head, "No, he hasn't been found until now." Answer Eriaz.

"What about the dead? Did you bring their bodies?" Ask Daru.

Once again shaking his head, Eriaz replied.

"No, I was forced to leave them, however, my first priority at that time was to save the wounded." Answer Eriaz.

"Oh, yeah." Mumbled Daru.

Daru also realized that securing the injured was a priority at that time. But Daru still feels sorry for the family left behind, if they find out that their family is dead and cannot see the body.

William was currently looking at Daru's expression, he saw Daru's face that looked sad, like thinking of something.

"Daru, is there something that bothers you?" Ask William.

"No sir, I didn't think of anything at all." Answer Daru.

William who was looking at Daru as he said that, was aware. The expression with his words was something that had been going on with each other lately.

"Tell Daru, it's an order!" William said.

Feeling that there was no point in asking, William was forced to force him to speak.

"But, Mister…"

"Say!" 

William kept forcing, Daru to speak.

"...this is about the bodies of the adventurers left behind, sir." Daru.

"Then, what happened to their bodies?" Ask William.

William asked, as he felt Daru did not dare to tell him directly.

"I just feel sorry for the families they left behind, I don't know what to say if their families ask where their bodies are, da,-"

Before Daru finished his words, William cut them off.

"Well, I get it." William says.

William immediately turned to Sin and gave him an order.

"Sin, go back to the capital." William.

"Ba,- uh what, sir?"

Sin wanted to answer "Good", because he thought William would order him to move the bodies of adventurers. But his conjecture was wrong, and William instead told him to return to the city.

"Master, why the city?" Sin asked confusedly.

"Go to Richard and the others and take care of them. Then tell Ran to come here immediately." William.

Sin could not understand at all with the command William said.

"Eh!? Why sir? Wouldn't it be enough to move the bodies of the adventurers?" Sin asked confusedly.

"No, moving the bodies of the adventurers would be my business. I sent Ran here to help with the treatment of the injured adventurers." William.

Sin was shocked to hear William say that.

"No sir, let me just move them. Then I'll go straight back to the city." Sin said in a panic.

Sin can't let William do that. That should be his job, after all.

But for William it would only be a waste of time. William just wanted to use Time as efficiently as possible. What's wrong with him doing that anyway? Thought William.

"What Sin said is true, sir. Let me do that." Eriaz.

"No, you stay here, and your energy hasn't recovered yet." Reply William.

Eriaz could not hide that from William. He could clearly feel Eriaz who was still not fully fit. And William can't let him do that.

On the other hand,-

"Lord let the other adventurers do it." Daru.

"No, they need rest too." 

William immediately rejected Daru's proposal.

William really, not understanding the mindset of the three, what is with him going, then he will get lost in the forest, so that he can not go back home? Think of William at this time.

Not wanting to argue anymore, William said firmly to the three.

"It's an order, and do as I say!" 

The three of them could not refute the sentence, and could only reply obediently.

" " "B-good, Mister" "the three simultaneously.

William smiled with satisfaction upon hearing the third answer. While Edward and Ars who saw it was just silent, smiling wryly.
