Chapter 435 Where Dreams Begin
Guided by the gods, Broly arrived the next day at a place called Goat Horn Road, between the Kingdom of Kika and the Kingdom of Senagia.
The place looks like a pair of goat horns from a distance, hence the name.
Because of the terrain, many bandits liked to ambush passing travelers and caravans in this area.
Therefore, anyone who dares to take this shortcut is either an ignorant newbie or someone who is confident in their own abilities.
On his first day here, Broly witnessed a group of guards from a large caravan slaughter a band of robbers who were trying to rob him on the road.
That same evening, a gang of bandits successfully attacked a small caravan.
It was only because they encountered Broly, who was waiting for someone, that the women in that small caravan would have been dragged out of the carriage by the bandits who had successfully attacked it, and suffered some misfortune.
Just as Broly was waiting in this place, doing some boring things every day, thinking that he would waste the rest of his time here, the marriage caravan from the Kingdom of Kika to the Kingdom of Senagia finally entered this narrow path through the entrance at the goat's horn.
Accompanying them were assassins sent by the Kingdom of Senagia.
According to the gods, the current king of the Senagia Kingdom is very ambitious and has always wanted to expand his territory. However, because it is adjacent to the powerful overlord, the Dragon Kingdom, he is basically unable to expand into new territories in the Dragon Kingdom and can only try to find a way to expand into the Kingdom of Kika, which is also a vassal state.
Of course, the King of Senagia's goal was not the Kingdom of Kika, because the overlord Kingdom of Wanglong would not stand by and watch a small vassal state annex another small vassal state.
Therefore, the true purpose of the King of Senagia was to join forces with the Kingdom of Kika, which was also a vassal state of the Kingdom of Wanglong, to attack the smaller countries to the north.
As for why the Kingdom of Senagia didn't fight on its own, it's because no country wants to see another country's army pass through its territory.
Similarly, no country wants its military supply routes to be in constant danger of being cut off by other countries.
Thus, the princess of the Kingdom of Kika became a victim. It was the Kingdom of Senagia that initiated the marriage alliance, offering very generous terms and obtaining the King of Kika's consent to marry the princess. However, they then devised a conspiracy:
Those small northern countries feared that if the Senagia Kingdom and the Kika Kingdom formed an alliance through marriage, they might turn against their own countries.
To this end, they sent assassins to attack the princess of the Kingdom of Kika who was going to the Kingdom of Senagia for a marriage alliance, hoping to sabotage the alliance by killing the princess.
Unfortunately, the survivors of the Kingdom of Kika, who had already been bribed, would take this news back to the King of Kika.
In this way, the king of Senagia could join forces with the king of Kika, whose daughter had been killed, to declare war on the many small kingdoms to the north.
If all goes well, they might even drag another vassal state into the conflict, allowing all three vassal states to launch attacks together and thus expand their territory.
Broly considered this behavior somewhat despicable. The King of Senagia not only murdered the daughter of the King of Kika, but also forced the King of Kika to lead his country and himself to fight against other small northern countries.
So when the princess's convoy was attacked by a group of assassins sent by the Kingdom of Senagia, Broly, the hero guided by the gods, also descended from the sky.
As Broly slaughters the assassins, he also reveals the conspiracy in the tone of a dreamlike tale told by a god.
The assassins were terrified. Although they immediately denied it, the masked leader was exposed when Broly pointed out a knight in the princess's entourage who had been bribed by their kingdom. He roared at Broly, "Who are you? How do you know these things?"
Broly had no intention of answering the other party's question. In the days when he was finding no one to conquer in this world and his temper was becoming more and more violent, he began to enjoy seeing people who annoyed him die with their eyes wide open.
Of course, it could also be due to the saying "one is influenced by one's company," but the god taught Broly his method of relieving bad moods in a dream.
Simply put, it's about letting others break down their defenses, watching them want to bite you but being helpless against you, and then mocking them wantonly.
It must be said that the way the gods and men taught him to cope with his grief was quite effective. Listening to the unwilling cries of the Senagian assassins before their deaths, Broly felt much better.
After dealing with a group of assassins, he turned around and saw the convoy guards he had saved, who were now looking at him warily.
"Who exactly are you, and how did you know these assassins were coming to attack us?"
Even though they had caught the traitor in their caravan, the female knight in charge did not let her guard down at all and seemed somewhat distrustful of him.
"I'm just a Saiyan passing by. You can believe what I just said if you want, or not if you don't. I don't need to explain anything to you. Of course, if you want to fight me, I don't mind killing you all at once."
Broly's words were harsh, which only proved that God had once again guided him to an object not recognized by the Crystal Palace.
However, this was to be expected, so Broly wasn't too disappointed.
However, he always did whatever he pleased when offering help to strangers who were not his target and with whom he had no connection.
The main focus is on helping others, regardless of who is being helped; it's solely about the individual's own feelings.
Conversely, if someone he helps upsets him, Broly, who is now in a bad mood, would not hesitate to send them back to their original fate of being assassinated.
It's just that he's the one doing the work now.
Fortunately, this did not happen; the princess of the Kingdom of Kika directly reprimanded the female knight beside her.
The princess's attitude towards him was alright, but her gaze was somewhat intense, making Broly feel as if he had become prey.
But this is not surprising. Broly looks like a good-looking little boy with a single ponytail. Coupled with the overwhelming strength he just displayed over the assassins, he has the feeling of a cool little boy.
And it's not uncommon for noble families in this world to have a penchant for handsome young boys.
The story of a hero rescuing a damsel in distress may be cliché, but it is undeniably effective. With his strength, appearance, and the fact that she had done him a favor, the princess of the Kingdom of Kika clearly developed feelings for Broly.
Broly wanted to leave immediately, but he overheard the other party saying that they wanted to treat him to a big meal, so he decided to stay.
It was during this dowry procession that the court chefs, who were preparing delicious food in the wild, tempted the Saiyans.
A silver-haired man with fierce eyes also came to the goat horn side.
He exuded an aura that instilled fear in all living beings in the world, which led the female knight with the strength of a Water Saint in the dowry caravan, along with other high-ranking swordsmen, to block him at the entrance to the Goat Horn.
"Suspicious guy, stop right there and don't come any closer to our base!"
Alster had no intention of causing trouble, so he turned and walked in another direction, but he stopped after taking only a few steps.
Because he had already recalled the identity of this caravan as the initial spark that ignited the chaos in the land of conflict within his long cycle of reincarnation.
Judging by the timeline, the members of this convoy should be lying dead on the mountain path in Goat Horn by now.
However, this group of people appeared to be alive and well at the entrance to the goat's horn.
"The predetermined events have been changed..."
In the endless cycle of time, minor events may differ, but major events, if not altered by external forces, are predetermined by fate.
Besides himself, the only other person who can exist as an external force in the cycle of time is that guy.
"Is he a god?!"
The thought of this possibility made Alster's already fierce gaze even more piercing.
However, it could not be completely confirmed that it was the work of a god. He turned around and headed back towards the place where the dowry procession was stationed.
After being stopped again, Orstide asked, "People of the Kingdom of Kika, how did you manage to evade the assassins from the Kingdom of Senagia?"
"Damn it, you suspicious bastard, you really are one of those assassins' accomplices!"
The person in front of them exuded a dangerous aura, but the female knight bravely led her men to surround him.
"Take him down!"
The other side gave the order, and the guards rushed forward.
But the next moment, those who rushed forward were all sent flying back.
No one could clearly see how the silver-haired man surrounded in the middle made his move.
In the blink of an eye, everyone except the female knight was knocked to the ground.
"Answer my question: Who kept you alive?"
Orstide approached the female knight, who possessed the strength of a Water Saint. The moment her sword touched his hand, it was knocked away. He grabbed her by the neck, lifted her up, and asked in a low, menacing voice.
"Lord Broly, please help us!"
At this moment, Broly also noticed the abnormality and came out to check the situation. When the princess of the Kingdom of Kika, who was with him, saw her personal guard being grabbed by the neck and lifted up, she immediately pleaded with the Saiyan boy next to her.
"Broly..."
Orstide frowned slightly, searching his memory for the person with that name, but he couldn't find them.
Clearly, the person with this name did not leave enough trace in the cycle of reincarnation for him to remember.
"Was it you who saved this caravan from the Kingdom of Kika?"
Putting down the female knight he was holding, Alstered asked the question directly.
"Are you the new assassin?"
Broly was somewhat puzzled. The god only mentioned that the assassin's attack was successful, but he didn't mention that there would be a counterattack after the failure.
"I am not an assassin from the Kingdom of Senagia."
Alsterd denied it.
"If you're not an assassin, then leave now and don't disturb my meal."
Broly's words drew Alster's gaze to the wooden bowl in his hand.
The faint aroma of food wafted through the air.
The food in the bowl was clearly prepared by a skilled chef.
"Answer me one question, and I'll leave."
"What's the problem?"
The latest novel is first published here!
None of the guards who were knocked down died, so Broly didn't feel any hostility towards this person. After taking a bite of the delicious stew, he casually chimed in.
Have you ever heard the term "god"?
Orstide asked the question, noting that there were almost no records of gods and humans in the history of the modern world, and even Percyus, the Ankylosaurus, was completely unaware of the term, let alone ordinary people.
Therefore, anyone who knows about gods and humans is problematic. Conversely, if the other party doesn't know, the current situation might just be an accident.
After all, it's not impossible, though very rare, that changes in many small things can lead to changes in major events.
"Oh, of course I've heard of the God of Humanity. Are you an acquaintance of His?"
However, Broly's answer made Alster's eyes widen immediately.
"An acquaintance? We're really close."
"I said through gritted teeth," Alster said.
"Since you're an acquaintance of the gods and humans, would you like to eat stew with me?"
Broly invited him to come up.
"This stewed meat is quite delicious."
"If it's delicious, then eat more."
Alstered appeared in front of Broly in the blink of an eye.
"Then, please convey a message to the gods and men for me..."
His hand was already on Broly's stomach.
"Tell Him that the Dragon God Orstide will surely kill Him!"
Dragon God's fighting spirit surged forth.
"So it wasn't an acquaintance, but an enemy!" Broly exclaimed in realization, glancing down at the silver-haired man's hand on his abdomen. "Are you giving me a stomach massage?" he asked.
The fighting spirit that should have blown the opponent to pieces failed to achieve its intended effect, causing Orstide's pupils to shrink.
The next moment, he raised his hand and used a hand-blade version of the Sword God Style Secret Technique, aiming for the Saiyan boy's neck in front of him.
With a snap, Broly grabbed Alster's wrist, followed by a cracking sound as the ground beneath his feet began to crumble.
"You have quite a strong grip. You're different from the others I've met before. The energy you exude seems to be on par with my father's."
Alsterd's wrist was grabbed, and his other hand immediately lashed out, but Broly kicked it away.
Broly handed the bowl in his hand to the princess of the Kingdom of Kika next to him, and then elbowed the silver-haired man in front of him as he continued to knee strike him.
With a bang, Orstide was sent flying.
"Take good care of my stew; I'll come back to eat it later."
After leaving those words, Broly disappeared from the spot and caught up with Alsterd's figure, who was still flying backwards, at an even faster speed.
He jumped with his feet together, and kicked his heels at the opponent's arms, which had already reacted and were crossed in front of his chest.
Crack! The arms that could have held the sword of light broke.
With a rumble, a rock formation appeared on the mountainside resembling a goat's horn.
The dragon god Orstide was completely trapped inside.
"In my normal state, my strength and speed aren't very high. Although I could easily crush most people in this world, your aura feels similar to my father's. You shouldn't die so easily, right?"
"Divine power transforms into fragrant nourishment, granting those who have lost their strength the power to rise again, healing them~"
A deep, hoarse voice came from the sunken rock formation.
"Bang!"
The next instant, the surging dragon god's battle aura shattered the solid rock, and a somewhat disheveled Orstide reappeared below Broly.
"An apostle of God and Man!"
Alsterd glared at the person in the sky and roared. A huge amount of magic surged from his body, and he shot towards Broly in the sky.
"I'm in a bad mood lately. Before I beat you to death, you'd better do your job as a punching bag and scapegoat!"
Broly went up to him, and they started fighting, fist to fist and palm to palm.
He is a constant fighter, using all his magic and fighting spirit, but at most he is a dragon god at the level of Paragus.
Although it didn't result in an instant kill, it still resulted in a crushing defeat.
Alsterd was soon flying around in the air like a billiard ball.
Occasionally, when it is slammed into the ground, it leaves deep pits on the mountain of the goat horn.
After destroying the environment around the goat's horns, Alsterd's body reached its limit in terms of withstanding the greatest impact.
"You made me feel very comfortable playing against you. Do you have any last words?"
Broly picked up the almost bloodied and mangled man and asked.
"Don't think you've won just because you defeated me this time. Next time, I'll hone a move specifically designed to kill you..."
Alster said with some difficulty that the man did not seem to be frustrated by his defeat, nor did he seem to be afraid of his impending death.
"Next time? What kind of strange last words are these? Did I drive you crazy? Fine, I'm going back to eat stewed meat, so I'll just give you a quick death."
Broly tightened his grip on the Dragon God's neck.
With a snap, he crushed the other person's throat.
But the next moment, the world before his eyes brightened.
The surrounding environment has also become completely different from the dilapidated Goat Horn Mountain Trail.
A breeze blew by, and the scent of fresh grass wafted into my nostrils.
Looking up, a group of familiar-looking flying long-eared rabbits were leisurely flying by in the sky.
Broly: "..."
It's as if he's back to square one.
