The Original Purpose [Part 1]
A cage was dragged on a platform truck, making a harsh rattling sound. The cage was covered by a black cloth, making it impossible to see what was inside. Robust men were pulling that platform truck, each looked very nervous. Surrounding those men was the Imperial Army, and installed right in the center was a huge magic circle.
“Will we make it in time?” The chief delegate in charge of this troop muttered before he broke into laughter as he thought they would definitely be able to take possession of the Kingdom with this thing.
“Alright, put the cage in the center of the magic circle and unlock it.”
They would use a magic circle to transport that thing inside the cage to the Kingdom before the Imperial Army reached there.
“Pardon, Chief Delegate. It’s still not too late. Opening that thing’s cage will be dangerous.”
One of the men surrounding the cage voiced his opinion. They lost thirteen people when trying to capture that thing alive.
“Humph. Dangerous... Wasn’t that what we wanted? We’re sending it to the Kingdom exactly because it’s dangerous. That thing will do the hard work first for our troop. All the hunters permanently stationed in the forest and the surrounding villagers will have been burned, and by the time we get there, there’ll be quite a view to enjoy.”
‘Oh, right, the hunters... together with the unfortunate king who just happened to participate in the extracurricular lesson...’
The chief delegate ordered the men to pull the platform truck before their agitation spread to the troops.
‘I don’t want to miss this perfect chance to bury the Kingdom... no, bury that infuriating King. The only sovereign who dares to make fun of me, the Empire’s chief delegate, so much is only the Kingdom’s King.’
“Chief Delegate, the cage’s installation is complete.”
The cage along with the platform truck had been put in the center of the magic circle. The men had also moved away from the magic circle, leaving only one person on it to unlock the lock.
“This is highly dangerous. Teleport it away as soon as the cage is unlocked. Not even a second late, got it?”
Some of the soldiers on standby in the area started to look anxious as the men continued insisting on paying more attention to safety.
“Tch, how persistent. We understand at least that much. Hey... the magicians over there, be sure to send it over when he unlocks the cage if you don’t want to be covered in flames.”
At the chief delegate’s instruction, the magicians surrounding the magic circle pulled down their hoods to hide their pale, nervous faces and nodded. After all, that thing inside was a highly dangerous monster that could only be captured with a cage made of precious magic stones.
*whoom*
The magic circle shone.
“I shall unlOCK the cage!”
