Chapter 148 What the Eastern Union Should Do

Hearing my story, Capitel sat down.

“Oh, doo.”

“Capitel, are you okay?”

“It’s not okay. Ragnarok… … .”

Lily, who supported Capitel, looked at me with a worried face.

“Is there a way?”

To her question, I answered while looking at Yggdrasilian.

“We have to stop the demons.”

*

After returning to the settlement, a meeting of the chiefs of the tribe was held.

“Ragnarok, do you mean the end of the world is coming?”

“What the master of the elements saw cannot be explained otherwise.”

Capitel answered the fish chief’s question.

Capitel knew of the existence of Yggdrasil like a skilled shaman, but it was an absurd story to the other tribal chiefs.

It is absurd that there is another world, but who would believe it if there were twelve of them and they were fruits hanging from trees?

“So, are you from that other world?”

The fish chief asked me this time.

“Yes that’s right.”

“Chief of the fish, I don’t understand why you’re confused, but it’s time to stop and talk about the future.”

It was the scorpion chief who calmed the excited fish chief.

He was at the meeting as soon as he recovered from his addiction.

“You guys, work on your recovery!”

“I’ve recovered a lot, enough to go right now and tear the demons limb from limb.”

“The bluff… … .”

“Stop it. Master of the Elements, what are your plans?”

At Capitel’s question, all the tribal chiefs’ eyes were fixed on me.

I calmly informed them of what we were planning.

“… … So, the current Imperial Archmage is building a gate. It should have been completed by now.”

“You mean you’re going directly into the Demon Realm?”

“Yes that’s right. They have wreaked havoc on our world and Fantasia many times already. You can’t sit back and let them suffer unless you know how to get to them.”

“What can we do to help?”

Capitel’s eyes were burning with enthusiasm.

It was the same with other tribal chiefs.

“First of all, we have to resolve the misunderstanding with the Empire. And if possible, I would appreciate it if you would fight alongside me.”

This seemed to clear up the misunderstanding.

It was because I also packed the spoils of the dreamer that could serve as proof.

[Dream Demon’s Horn]

If you hold the horn in your hand and cast a spell, you can enter the opponent’s dream and exert influence.

It was obtained by catching a dream horse.

If you look at the description, it’s a terrifying item, but you had to know how to use magic in order to use it.

And while meeting the Easterners, I admired their power.

If the power of the east joined them, it would surely become a great force.

“In that case, I should meet the emperor first.”

“Then, when I go back, let’s go together.”

“It seems that Dongbu is indebted to me for this and that. If there is anything else we can help with, we will help.”

When I first heard the news from Penzarik after coming down to the mountains, I thought I might wipe out the East.

However, there was a slight suspicion that it could be the work of the demons, and that thought was correct.

So I asked Capitel.

“No matter how misunderstood it was, the Empire lost a village anyway. Not only should we honor the souls of the people, but we should also reward them accordingly. That is what I want.”

As long as he knew the Dongbu situation, he could no longer hate them.

It is said that the demons did it, but since those who died unjustly cannot come back, I thought it was right to release their spirits, and I wanted to do that.

“It is natural.”

At my request, Capitel nodded with a sad expression.

When she heard the news about the village, she too was deeply saddened.

Because of that, my anger burned even more towards the demons.

We were trying to pour out our world and all the sorrows that happen here into the demon realm.

*

The preparations to leave for the Empire proceeded quickly.

The tribal chiefs decided to go out on their own.

The older chieftains formed an elite army, led by a representative of the tribe’s warriors instead.

Before leaving for the empire, I went to Ajin who came to his senses.

There, Hassen Camille was already talking to Ajin.

“Ajin, as of today, you belong to our Black Wind.”

“yes? Is that true?”

When Ajin came to his senses, Hassen Camille transferred him to the Black Wind unit, which he had longed for.

“Good for you. That’s what you wanted.”

“thank you. thank you.”

As I congratulated her, Ajin bowed her head to Camille and thanked her.

“However, there is one condition.”

“yes? what is that?”

“Your body hasn’t fully recovered yet, so please stay here and protect the east. I will go to the demon realm.”

Upon hearing Camille’s terms, Ajin stubbornly refused.

“If that’s the case, I’d rather join the battle as an Eastern soldier.”

“Don’t be rude. Your body still has more recovery to do.”

Hassen Camille did not back down either.

However, I didn’t think I could take Ajin’s side here.

“Ajin, do as the captain says. That is a necessary measure separate from the recovery of Ahjin’s body.”

“yes? I don’t understand. Isn’t it time that we need at least one more soldier?”

I didn’t think I could explain the reason for Camille’s personality in detail, so I had to convince Ajin.

“The reason I came to Azin is the same as Captain Camille. The reason Azin has to remain here is because of the dispersal of forces.”

“Dispersion of troops?”

“Yes, I said this is the Central Continent, right? As far as I know, the Central Continent is largely divided into two powers: the Western Empire and the Eastern Alliance. Other minorities are spread all over the continent, so they are out of the question.”

“Yes.”

It’s not that the elves and the forces of this race didn’t exist, but they were pushed to a corner of the continent in history.

“In that situation, if all the elite troops on the continent go to the Pandemonium, who will protect the continent?”

This was the reason why even in the empire, people were extracted instead of everyone.

Aside from the unstable situation on the continent, what if demons attacked the continent while we invaded?

It would be an empty house robbery, and our expedition would fail.

“that! I hadn’t even thought of that.”

Ah Jin is not an idiot, so he understood the meaning and burned fighting spirit in his eyes.

“As a member of the Eastern Allied Forces, I will do my best.”

“It’s a good attitude. I was entrusted with escorting Capitel to the Empire. I will meet with the head of the border guard at that time and have a good talk.”

“thank you!”

On the spot, Camille held a brief ceremony to join the Black Wind Unit and was given a black armor.

“I thought there was nothing more surprising for you, but the more you know, the more you are surprised.”

Camille told me as I was leaving the barracks after saying hello to Ajin.

“I have a bit of an onion side.”

“hahahahaha, even onions come to an end if you peel them. You are like a natural wonder.”

“A mystery of nature?”

“I traveled all over the East leading the Black Winds. The East has a lot of barren land, so we had to endure countless hardships. What’s scarier than monsters is nature’s test of survival… … .”

As Camille spoke, she looked up at the sky as if she remembered the past for a moment, then continued.

“I learned a lot from overcoming those hardships. Especially from nature. The power of nature is great, and man can never know its end.”

Camille’s eyes as she said those words were full of pure and innocent power.

He seemed to have grown closer to the truth by realizing the principles of nature in a barren environment.

“Camille, don’t put yourself down. You are a great person to me.”

It was sincere.

Camille, who I saw from the side for a few days, was a respectable person.

“It feels like I’ve been rewarded for talking like that.”

Camille smiled at my compliment.

“If one day I get a chance to do the connection you mentioned again, I will gladly accept it. Because I want to be of strength to you.”

“Then, let’s do it now while the words are out.”

“Now?”

Instead of answering, I opened the card locker and found Camille Hassen.

[Tries to connect with the person.]

Soon a message window popped up and I waited for a while.

A message appeared on Camille as well.

“I allow it.”

[Link successful!]

“All right.”

I could see a flashing notification floating on Camille Hassen’s card with a successful link text.

[Connected with a new person.]

[The bond created before connection affects liking.]

[Your friendship with Camille Hassen has risen to 20.]

Perhaps because of the conversations we had after meeting him, his affinity rose by 20 at once.

“What will happen if we connect like this?”

In response to Camille’s question, I gave the features when connected.

“I can borrow Captain Camille’s skills and learn them. And wherever you are, I can try to talk. And you can possess my body and perform inaction.”

“her! That’s an amazing ability. I’ve heard of shamans possessing other people’s bodies, but to lend their bodies to others.”

Certainly, as the East Coalition is known for having a shaman as its leader, Camille has a different approach than the other characters.

It was a fresh approach for me too.

“Hearing it like that makes me feel different.”

“Have you ever been in danger?”

Camille’s question was natural.

Because lending one’s body to someone meant that he or she could do it carelessly.

So it was a fresh approach.

However, the reason I didn’t care about it was also because I didn’t have to worry about it.

“Never had one. Rather, it helped me when I was in danger. And I can control that possession.”

That was the reason.

The possessed person was able to freely use their skills, but that did not mean that my body was completely taken over by the opponent.

The spirits were completely together and could be put back together at any time if desired.

That’s why it was a system where the dangerous things Camille thought couldn’t happen.

“Awesome. Then, did you use divine power?”

“Yes, I borrowed a skill from someone who can use divine power.”

“It would be an infinite honor if I could compete with you sometime.”

After hearing all of my story, Camille made such a request to me.

It seemed to be the curiosity and sympathy that comes from being a samurai.

It would be of great help to his growth if he could learn and practice various martial arts through me.

And that was a good suggestion for me too.

Because I also had to hone my skills and grow.

As for the main ability, Elemental Magic, only the last one, the wall leading to the 9th circle, remained.

However, there were still many skills left to hone.

“Always welcome.”

So I complied with his request.

“Captain, everything is ready.”

At that time, a member of the Black Wind Unit approached us and reported.

It was that they were ready to leave for the Empire.

“Then, let’s start.”

With Camille leading the way, we left the settlement and headed for the Empire.

Only a handful of people departed for the procession to the Empire.

First of all, it was because improving relations with the empire came first.

So Capitel, five of the tribal chiefs volunteered, and the Black Wind corps attached as escorts decided to go together.

Caravans and workers also followed behind the procession to carry the presents prepared by Capitel.

“Capitel, it will be a long journey.”

“Don’t worry about me. Even if he looks like this, he was someone who ran around the desert when he was young.”

Concerned about me, I asked Capitel in the carriage, and she smiled and said not to worry.

“I have one too, so don’t worry too much.”

Lily, who was sitting in front of the Capitel in the carriage, abruptly poked her face out the window and said,

“If it’s Lilly’s horn, I’m relieved.”

I remembered her horn, which blew away two stalwart tribal chiefs at once.

“I’m ashamed.”

The chief of the bear tribe, who was riding alongside the carriage, said to Lily, who blushed and went back into the carriage.

“This is the first time I’ve seen Lily’s chief so shy. Aren’t you in love with the master of the elements? How are you? Isn’t our Lily chieftain a good wife?”

Then, just as I was about to give my opinion to the Bear Tribal Chief, who asked me, the Lily Tribal Chief looked out the window again and said,

“The bear chief seems to be a real bear sometimes.”

“What do you mean?”

“I’m giving you this because even your brain has become dull and you’ve crossed the line.”

“what?! Don’t you know how clever a bear is? It’s not just that you’re strong!”

“Then think about what you did wrong with that clever head.”

Lily then slammed the carriage window shut.

The bear chief, who was riding a horse, looked at me with a puzzled expression.

“Did I do that much wrong?”

“I think the clever bear chief knows it well.”

I played the bear chief to their tune.

Seeing that Ajin spoke without filtering and overlapping with the head of the bear tribe, it seemed to be the innate personality of the bear tribe.

[Starts eradicating the virus.]

A message came to mind when the bear chief was struggling with his hair wrapped around his head.

Ha, I can’t help but admire the attitude of a really consistent system.

“Chief Bear, it seems that it is time for strength rather than brilliance.”

“What do you mean?”

Instead of answering, I pointed at the clouds of dust that were rolling towards us.

“All ready for battle! Protect the Capitel first!”

Then came the cry of Camille, who was at the forefront.
