Trash of the Count’s Family

Whale tribe.”

The ships that were anchored at shore hidden by stealth magic raised their mast and started to move.

“We are heading for the land of the Whale tribe!”
“Our goal is the glacier! Start rowing!”

Voices were shouting all around them.
The White Star had moved to the deck of the largest ship at some point before he started to speak again.

“Get rid of the stealth spell.”

It was at that moment.

Clang!

There was a sharp noise before a transparent glass-like barrier was destroyed.
The stealth spell had been removed.

The Whale tribe would be able to clearly see the White Star’s troops now.

Sayeru started to get excited as he moved next to the White Star.
He then raised his hand before dropping it.

“Go.”

That was the signal.

Go!

The ships all started to head toward the glacier located at the most northern tip of the world.

“We are going to go hunt some Whales.”

Sayeru grabbed onto the railing on the deck with a satisfied heart.

Splaaaaaaash- Splaaaaaaaaaash-

The ships quickly cut through the water.
Black magic was helping the ships move quickly even though the wind was blowing in the opposite direction.

“Looks like we need to pass a few glaciers.”

The glacier where the Whale tribe lived.
That large glacier was located past a group of smaller glaciers.

The fast-moving ships were now almost by those smaller glaciers.

“Sayeru-nim, the ships will move slower from here.”

“Doesn ’t matter.
Go slowly if needed.”

They needed to carefully maneuver if they wanted to pass through this narrow path without hitting any glaciers.

Sayeru didn’t think it would matter if they moved slowly.
He also became certain about something.

“White Star.”
“What is it?”
“It definitely seems like there’s something up with the Whale tribe.
Although I don ’t know whether that is a trap for us or treasure they are trying to hide…”

The Whales were showing no reaction even though they were openly charging forward like this.
It was at that moment.

“Look behind you.”
“Huh?”

Sayeru asked in confusion before he felt chills on his back.
He was sensing danger.
He turned to look behind him.

Baaaaaaaaaang!
Baaaaang! Baaaaaang!

He heard multiple loud explosions in the distance.

“T, that is-”

‘That’s our base.’

The place they had been hiding under the stealth magic spell.
That location was blowing up.

“Sayeru, it looks like the enemy has been waiting for us as well.”

They could see people running wild through the explosions.
A few human-shaped individuals were destroying the base that they had stayed at for almost a month.
The only people who could do such a thing…

Flinch.

Sayeru looked down at the water past the railing.

The large ship he was currently on… There was a large figure underneath it.
It was a large lifeform that made even this large ship look small.

Crack!

Sayeru crushed the railing as he started to frown.

“…Whales.”

Although it was still summertime, the summer ocean of the North was as thick and dark as during winter.
The moment Sayeru said that word… Many large figures rose from the bottom of that deep dark ocean.

They were whales.
The fact that so many whales were gathered here could only mean one thing.

‘The Whale tribe is here……!’

There were Whales both at the base and here in the ocean.

Tap.

Sayeru raised his head when the White Star jumped onto the railing to see someone.

On the first glacier on their way to the land of the Whale tribe… A woman was standing on the glacier.

“…Witira.”

It was a name that Sayeru knew as well.
Witira, the future Whale Queen.

Witira had jumped onto that glacier without him noticing.
The White Star who jumped onto the railing seemed to have noticed Witira ’s appearance.
This meant that Sayeru was not as good as Witira at detecting presences.

Sayeru’s expression stiffened before returning to normal.
Detecting presences was not the only thing he knew how to do.
He started to speak with a smile on his face.

“You’ve been sitting still this whole time while we peeked at you, but you’ve finally come out because we started to move?”

Witira’s gaze was focused on Sayeru.
Sayeru started to sneer as he continued to speak.

“Is there something you are hiding? Hmm? Or were you too scared to do anything?”

He thought this would be enough to provoke her.
This was the proud Whale tribe they were talking about.
Sayeru could see Witira immediately start to respond.

”We were waiting.
We were waiting until you came out into the ocean.”

‘What?’

The moment Sayeru flinched at her unexpectedly calm voice…

Shhhhhhh-

A whip instantly appeared in Witira’s hand and she kicked off the ground.
The whip was flicked toward the glacier.

Baaaaaaaaaang!

The glacier broke into pieces and debris blasted out.
As Sayeru’s eyes opened wide in shock… He felt the ground under him start to rock.

“They ’re coming up! The whales are coming up!”
“Move the ships back!”

He could hear people screaming around him, forcing Sayeru to look down once more.

The whales were shooting up toward the ships.
Tens of large whales moving at once were making the water move.
Sayeru raised his head.

“This……”

He could see Witira standing on a different glacier and pointing her whip at the White Star.
Numerous Whales appeared behind her.

It was as if all of the strong individuals from the Whale tribe village had shown up.
Each of these Whales would be just as strong as the strongest humans.
All of them were looking at Sayeru and the enemies with angry expressions on their faces.

It was their quiet anger from quietly letting the enemies spy on them for about a month.
Actually, it was not very quiet.

Chhhhhhh! Baaaaang!

Witira flicked the whip into the water, slamming the water into the air.
Witira then pointed the whip toward the White Star again.

“Come.”

She continued to speak to the White Star with a stoic expression on her face.

“I will kill you.”

The Northern ocean roared at that moment.
The whales’ cries covered the area while the Whale warriors kicked off the glacier and moved forward.
The battle between the Whale tribe and the White Star had started.
Human, the field has finally been set!

Cale listened to Raon ’s voice in his head and started to smile while remaining quietly hidden.
