Trash of the Count’s Family

e tribe from his grandfather, however, they were just a mysterious existence from folklore.

“Hmm?”

The soldier flinched after looking out the window at that moment.

“Umm, m, mage-nim?”

“What is it?”

The mage who was drinking tea looked up at the soldier with a grumpy expression. However, the soldiers gaze did not move away from the window.

“What is it?”

The mage sounded annoyed as he looked out the window as well.

The soldier was pointing to something in the distance.

“Umm, what is that in the ocean?”

There was a spray of water shooting up into the air in the distance. The ocean that had been gray was now completely black.

He could also see waves.

No, they were not waves.

Large beings were pushing forward across the ocean.

“…Huh?”

The mage ’s shocked voice could be heard as well.

The soldier who realized what they were shouted in almost a shriek.

“W, Whales! Mage-nim, they are definitely Whales-!”

Baaaaang!

The soldier could not finish his sentence.

The patrol station was shaking.

Something was slamming onto the ice from the bottom.

Boom, boom!

“Huh, huh, this-”

The mage subconsciously took a step back.

Something was coming up from the bottom of the ocean from underneath the ice.

Bang! Bang!

More cracks appeared on the ice with every bang.

The soldier grabbed onto the mage and continued to shout.

“Whales, its the Whale tribe! Mage-nim!”

It was the moment he said that.

Baaaaaang!

A bang that was louder than any other previous bangs could be heard as the ice on the water cracked completely. The frozen ice cracked away as a large Whale appeared.

It was a Humpback Whale with an X-shaped scar on her back. This large Whale ’s body rose above the water.

The soldier and mage made eye contact with the Humpback Whale. They felt their whole body freezing up after seeing the cold gaze in the Whales eyes. The Humpback Whale ’s large tail moved at that moment.

The tail that looked as if it was going to strike the heavens headed back down.

Baaaaang!

It then slammed down in order to get rid of the ice.

That was the beginning.

The Whales surrounded the patrol stations. They then started to proceed to break up the ice frozen above the ocean.

The power to break through nature.

This berserk and brutal strength was overwhelming.

“This, just what…”

“Mage-nim, we must hurry up and send a message! We must let the others know that the Whales have invaded!”

The soldier urgently shouted, and the mage finally managed to come back to his senses.

The invasion of the Whales.

The mage felt fear from these forgotten existences.

They were destroying the ocean.

The Whale tribe was known as the rulers of the ocean.

His hand was shaking as he urgently grabbed onto the video communication device.

A loud noise could be heard at that moment.

Baaaaaang!

The soldier reported the situation.

“The eastern patrol station, the eastern patrol station was destroyed!”

The mage poured mana into the video communication device and nodded his head. He could see the eastern patrol station being destroyed with his own eyes.

At the same time, he could see vapor rising around the Humpback Whale with the X-shaped scar.

And then, once the vapor disappeared.

Flick.

A female Whale Beast person appeared while flicking a long water whip. This whip made of water was moving around and breaking up the ice.

The Humpback Whale Beast person stepped on pieces of broken ice as she made a beeline for the central patrol station.

She was far away, but the mage was certain about something.

That Whale is looking at him.

Fear filled his body.

Crackle, crackle.

The sound of the video communication device connecting could be heard. The mage quickly lowered his head and looked into the video communication device.

It is not time to check in, what is going on?

He could hear the voice of the communication mage of the central forces on the other end. The mage urgently started to shout.

“The Whale tribe, the Whale tribe has invaded!”

What are you talking about?

The unexpected report made the mage think that he had heard incorrectly.

“The Whale tribe has come! The Whale tribe is causing a ruckus in the ocean!

The mage was scared.

He thought that he might die. That thought made him shout loud enough for the video communication device to break.

His voice that was full of despair turned the information communication room into chaos.

One person responded to the shout.

What are you talking about?

Duke Rock Sekka.

Clopeh Sekkas father and the person known by the Paerun Kingdom as the Guardian Knight. He appeared on the screen.

The mage spoke with even more urgency after seeing his face.

“The Whale tribe has invaded, and they are destroying the ice!”

The mage then turned the screen toward the ocean. The already destroyed patrol stations, the patrol stations currently being destroyed, and the mess that was the ocean could be seen.

When did the attack start? What is the current situation?

He could hear the urgency in Duke Rock ’s voice as well. However, the fact that he was still composed made the mage calm down as he responded back.

“The attack started five minutes ago. The eastern patrol station is destroyed, while the others are under attack as well. As for our central patrol station-”

The mage stopped talking.

“…Huh?”

He noticed the weirdness outside the window.

‘What happened to the Whale?

What happened to the Whale that was heading toward us?

He could not see the Humpback Whale Beast person.

What is it? Why arent you saying anything?

“Ah, uhh, ah-”

The mage could not continue speaking. He realized something else at that moment.

The soldier.

The soldier that was next to him was quiet.

‘Why is he being quiet?

Plop.

He saw the soldier fall down by his foot. He seemed to have fainted without a single injury. The mage ’s eyes slowly started to turn.

He had seen the blue-haired woman who had been heading toward their patrol station. This Whale had blue hair similar to her hair, however, it was a man this time.

The mage could not do anything even though he saw the blue-haired man ’s hand heading toward his back.

Plop.

The mage was easily knocked unconscious by the half-blood Whale Pasetons hands.

Tang, tang!

The video communication device fell to the floor.

What is going on?! Are you unable to make a report?!

Duke Rock ’s voice could be heard from the still connected video communication device.

A person picked up the video communication device.

Cale Henituse. He passed the video communication device to someone else.

“Here.”

Clopeh received the video communication device from Cale with shaking hands. Duke Rock continued to speak while the screen was shaking.

Communication mage! Are you unable to continue the video? What is the number of Whales?

Urgency and a sense of emergency seemed to be in Duke Rocks voice, however, Cale was completely calm on the other side.

“You remember my order?”

Clopehs pupils shook after hearing Cales voice.

Cale ’s order.

Make the Paerun Kingdom become our spy.

Cale pushed down on Clopehs shoulder as he pointed toward the video communication device. It was him telling Clopeh to do as he was ordered.

‘He ’ll do it if he doesnt want to die.

Cale quietly observed Clopeh, whom he thought would pick his life above all else. Clopeh ’s hands were shaking as he turned the screen toward his face.

What is going on, huh?

Duke Rock Sekka flinched.

He could see white hair.

He became at a loss for words after seeing hair as white as his own.

M, my son.

Clopeh Sekka.

It was recorded that his son was missing in action after the battle against the Roan Kingdom a few days ago. Duke Rock could not understand what was going on.

However, as someone from a quick-witted household, he raised his hand and motioned to the mages.

Security level 1.

The people inside the information communication room quietly started to proceed according to his signal.

The Duke did not look at them as he continued to look at his son.

It was at that moment.

“Hello there.”

The Duke saw someone else through the screen.

You, you are!

The Duke was familiar with this person.

He was the reason that their plan to take down the Roan Kingdom had failed.

The red-haired man.

He could see Cale Henituse on the other side.

He was smiling brightly with a hand on Clopeh ’s shoulder. Duke Rock Sekka looked as if he had seen something that was hard to understand.

The Whale tribe at the northern border with his son and Cale Henituse.

What the hell was going on?

Rock ’s pupils started to shake at that moment.

“Father.”

His son Clopeh was smiling brightly.

Cale quietly observed him from the side. Clopeh would follow his order in order to survive.

Since the Roan Kingdom seemed stronger than the Indomitable Alliance, he would want to stick with Cale in order to protect his household.

Cale confirmed that in his mind as he looked toward Clopeh.

“God.”

‘Hmm?

Cale flinched.

Clopeh responded brightly to his father.

“This esteemed sir is a god.”

‘…What the hell?

Cale looked toward Clopeh with true disbelief.

Clopeh spoke with an expression that seemed to be saying that he had achieved his dream.

”Father, I have escorted the legend here.”

‘…Did he really go crazy?

Cale was at a loss for words.
