Reborn as God: The strongest system

Chapter 26 Planting Flags Left And Right



Esdras didn't have the chance to reply before Celine continued talking on her own.

"You can't sleep with her, she's a dirty girl, I've seen her with too many boys! She's a vixen! She uses her body to get what she wants from boys, you can't trust her!"

'Hm? What's this? I can use this.'

Esdras was about to tell her that he just lied to provoke Robert but he sensed a chance, so he grinned.

"I don't know about that, but you know I'm a growing man, I have certain… needs."

Upon hearing this Celine's gaze subconsciously fell on his groin. Catching herself she looked back at his face and saw his teasing smile, and freaked out.

"Hey, where were you looking? My eyes are right here." Esdras chuckled.

"N-no, I didn't, I was distracted… anyway that girl is dirty, you shouldn't do it with her!" Celine decided to quickly change the subject.

"True, true. But then who will take care of… you know… I can't control it myself, and Tara seems to know what to do…"

"No! Not her, I'll do it!" Celine proclaimed out of frustration!

Esdras couldn't believe his ears, that worked?

"I'm your personal maid, it's my job in the first place, why didn't you tell me…" the longer she talked the more her voice softened until it became like that of a mosquito.

'Oh, so that's why. Celine was still Esdras's personal maid, warming his bed was always one of her duties. But because the old Esdras felt inferior he distanced himself from her and Celine felt rejected.'

Esdras still had a hard time coming to terms with this world's values but he was already a resident of this world.

"But… I don't know what to do like Tara, but, but, if you teach me I can do anything she can and much better!"

Hmm, it looks like there's also some kind of rivalry between the two of them. Not to mention that Robert was obviously lusting after Celine, so Tara must have a beef with Celine.

'Well, don't mind if I do. Hehehe'

"Alright, I will take you up on that offer. How about I teach you slowly tonight?"

"Eh… okay, slowly, don't forget!" Celine said her last words before covering her blushing face and scampering to who knows where.

Esdras put the matter to the back of his mind and walked leisurely to the front gate. After all, he was twenty three when he was on Earth, he certainly wasn't a virgin.

He found some of the soldiers chatting by the gate and called one of them over.

"Can you call captain Rolf? Tell him it's Esdras."

As the soldier climbed the rampart, Esdras leaned on the wall to wait for Rolf, meanwhile he overheard the conversation of the few soldiers here.

"Stop being so craven, Tom! This is the great Elbrim kingdom, the king of dragons is our liege, are we afraid of some orcs now?!"

The banner of the Elbrim kingdom was the silhouette of a man riding a dragon both were painted in gold on a black background.

"Yeah, we repelled the combined forces of the West coast, is the so-called orc king any different? Bullshit I say!"

"Not to mention, if all else fails, there's always the court mage to protect us! He even called reinforcements from the Octarine tower!"

"But… wasn't Duke Ramon known as the butcher of orcs, everyone knows hust how great his forces were, in the end he still fell and the orcs occupied the territory…"

"Blah! That's just not true, everyone knows the duke had his forces scattered and the cowardly orcs launched a sneak attack. There's some luck on their side, but it's simply impossible for the capital to fall to some orcs."

"I guess… you're right, I don't know what I was thinking…"

Esdras who was listening wanted to beat these guys to a pulp, do they not know what a red flag is?! Fuck, he almost lost control.

"Oh, but won't we be in danger, after all, we're sending supplies to the capital?"

"Nah, there's no way, there are six other forts scattered all over the kingdom, we're just one of them. There's no way we could get attacked!"

A vein throbbed on Esdras's forehead!

"You know what, I'll bet on my name nothing happens here and everything gets resolved safely, or my name is not Trillin!"

"Fuck you!" With a beast-like shout Esdras pounced on Trillin and gave him a good one to the face, he was about to start raining down punches on him.

"Who do you work for? Huh? You're a traitor! I'm gonna kill you!!" Esdras roared.

"No… I'm not! … captain! Save… me!" Trillin screamed.

Rolf who just came down and the two other soldiers pulled him back.

"No! Let me go! This menace must be stopped!" Esdras allowed them to pull him back.

"I will punish him later," Rolf said with difficulty, "didn't you want to see the weapons I arranged for you? Let's go."

Esdras calmed down and glared at the soldier while he left. Obviously he didn't put any strength into the punch, otherwise he would have died.

Taking a round about way they went to the fort smithy, where an old man greeted them and showed them many weapons.

"These are the weapons that most Vigor knights prefer, they are usually five times heavier than their regular counterparts, please chose whichever one you like."

The weapons were all thicker and shinier than normal, but Esdras didn't feel like they had that oomph behind them.

Moreover he wasn't a regular Vigor knight, these weapons felt too light and flimsy to him.

"What about that one?" Esdras pointed to a corner where a weapon was covered with a plain cloth.

"This… lord mage, it's not suitable, to tell you the truth it's a failure, really. I didn't know what I was doing when I made it…"

Esdras grew even more interested in it, that kind of description sounded somewhat familiar.

"Well, what one man finds to be useless might not be so for another. Show it to me and let me be the judge."
