44 – In a situation like this, demons can’t stand up.

Philemon Castle.

This place, about two days north of Antioch, was seized with a quite quiet atmosphere, unlike before.

“Hey Kane, how are you doing over there?”

“Somehow, of course, it was empty here too. All the guys who could be mobilized were taken away, and there are only one or two lucky ones like me left.”

“Well, you’ve had incredible luck falling for things like this since before.”

Soldiers sitting leisurely by a bonfire.

They were currently in charge of defending the eastern and western sides of Philemon, respectively, but now they were sitting leisurely and sipping a cup of wine.

“By the way, Lost, are we okay with this? Anyway, I’m at work, but it’s a little bit like sitting down drinking like this… ”

“How are you? There’s no way demons will appear here anyway in this situation.”

“It is, but… ”

“Hey, don’t worry. If you think about it needlessly, it will only make the taste of the alcohol worse. And even if demons really come in, there’s nothing we can do about it, right?”

“Um… ”

Soldier Kane finally had no choice but to agree to the words of a colleague who cowardly messed with the situation.

That’s how he ate the little bird that was being grilled over the bonfire, trying to shake off this still uncomfortable feeling.

The generals who led the entire army and went out under the pretext of catching the demon king and ending the war.

Now that most of the troops who originally guarded this place have left.

In fact, the few soldiers who remained formal were immersed in such a relaxed atmosphere.

In the process, he carried most of his provisions, but he did not carry any barrels of wine, citing that they unnecessarily interfered with marches and battles.

In the end, these things became the responsibility of the remaining soldiers.

In fact, soldiers who are filling their stomachs with alcohol from the lack of food.

In any case, while being delighted with the fact that I was able to put something into my mouth in such a short amount of time, as a bonus, while enjoying the relaxation in a situation where the tension that had been kept tight all along had been released,

The already too small number of soldiers had completely thrown away guard work like that.

and…

Watching them like this

At some point, I entered the castle,

Now they slowly emerge from the darkness

I couldn’t help but feel a deep futility in this situation, which was more bland than I thought.

“I kind of expected it, but… Aren’t you a little too vain?’

“That’s right. How much blood has been shed to defend this place. I can’t believe I’ll get it back like this in vain… ”

As a result of the battle that took place here in Philemon in the past, the demons lost about 2000 troops and had to retreat.

But at this moment.

The demons literally completely took over this place without shedding a single drop of blood.

Humans who were drunk and sleeping in front of their eyes.

As these were virtually all of the forces right here, all that was left was to properly bind them and take them prisoner.

“Anyway, the situation isn’t over yet, so don’t be vigilant and finish the job. When we’re done here, we’ll move on to the next location, leaving only some troops behind.”

“Yes, Commander.”

“All right.”

At Elias’s words, the subordinates who did not relax until the end and arrested the human soldiers who were asleep.

Immediately after confirming the fact that even the thought that they would suddenly rise up and launch a counterattack was meaningless.

Apart from the futility, Elias was delighted with the fact that he had captured a castle again without any damage to his allies, but he began to wonder why the situation was going so well.

‘I knew that Samson’s corps commander in Antioch would be a bait, but even so, wouldn’t this be a bit harsh? I couldn’t imagine leaving the castle unattended while squeezing troops to this extent… ‘

The allied troops are showing an overly active reaction to simply defeat the invading enemy.

As he questioned their progress as they rushed away like a swarm of bees at the scent of honey, Elias began to wonder if the cunning warrior might have played another trick.

‘I’ll need to find out the details later, but right now I can’t afford to pay attention to that much. The only important thing now is to recover as many territories as possible while the enemies are away.’

Putting aside the doubts in his mind for a while, Elias proceeded with his work at full speed, feeling like a glutton in a fast eating competition.

This is because apart from the doubts in her heart, she has always made it her rule to make the best choice for the Demon Kingdom.

“Cuck!”

“Ouch!”

Soldiers dying while spewing out brief death sentences.

Just a few minutes ago, they were grumbling, saying that there was no way the demons would come in, but at this moment, they had become cold corpses with desperate expressions on their faces.

Just like scarecrows being cut down, soldiers die without any resistance.

Seeing that, the longevity Giltier, who ruled the small town of Enmao, collapsed in fear.

“this… Unbelievable… uh… how… how do you… ”

A demonic warrior wearing purple armor.

The guild tier knew very well who it was holding the sword with purple energy flying around it.

The person who gave him a bitter defeat in the past

An existence that can be said to be a symbol of despair.

Devil.

The fact that he who should have been fighting a war in Antioch in the south is here,

Giltier, who decided to give up the battle with the demon king and protect this place, was seized with deep confusion and despair.

The demon lord slowly approaches towards such a guild tier.

looking at it

Giltier didn’t even think of having to fight back with his weapon.

I couldn’t do anything but tremble and cry.

It wasn’t like a resignation due to simple fear.

Because, from his experience so far, he knew it well enough to make me sick of it.

Her own attacks do not reach the Demon King.

Rеаd at ոоbӏеmtӏ.соm

Meaningless resistance is just a foolish act that adds despair to despair.

and,

seeing him like this.

As if he didn’t even need to use his sword, the Demon King stretched out his finger toward Guiltier.

-Pak!

A hot pang felt right after that.

At the same time, seeing the world turned upside down in an instant, Giltier could see what he had become.

His own head, separated from his body and flying in the sky.

In his dying consciousness, he once again caught one last glimpse of that terrible symbol of terror.

The figure of the monster that I never wanted to see even in my dreams…

Strategy and tactics are, in fact, elegant terms for cheating the enemy.

However, if you don’t risk your life and defeat the enemy in front of you, you will lose yourself right away…

Furthermore, as much as one’s family, society, and eventually the country collapses,

It was one of the characteristics of war that such fraud was taken for granted.

And, by the nature of those wars.

At this moment, the Demon King and Elias Corps Commander.

no…

To be precise, the 15,000 troops with them.

Having succeeded in deceiving not only the tribal union, but also Samson’s corps commander and his troops, he began to ‘harvest’ the results at a terrifying speed.

Territories that were originally occupied by them, but ended up falling into the hands of the tribal union at the end of bloody bloody battles.

However, unlike the time when they were taken so hard now, the Demon King and Elias were literally reclaiming lost territories in an extremely simple and easy way, like picking up fruit that had fallen on the floor.

Colossae, a small castle located three days from Antioch and located at the center of the tribal union occupied territory.

Starting there, the Demon King’s army began to occupy castles such as Timothy, Thessalonega, and Corinth one after another without much damage.

Although there was not a lot of battles along the way, nevertheless, the damage suffered by the Demon King’s army was almost negligible compared to the territory occupied.

and… While going through such extremely futile and terrifying realities,

The Demon King began to seriously consider his life so far.

‘I can’t believe that we can recover the territory of the Demon Kingdom so easily, if it is not possible, then all the efforts Jim has made so far… ‘

Of course, the Devil Kingdom, which had been reeling from the unstoppable blows of the tribal union, was able to endure so far because of the Demon King’s active activities.

However, as he watched his ‘dream’, which he had longed for but thought he would never achieve, succeed in vain in this way, the demon king naturally felt a little empty.

But at the same time

Apart from this awkwardness, it was a bonus that the favorability of the existence of the warrior who practically made all of this possible increased a little more.

‘When I come back this time, I’ll have to give you a bigger present. It would be better to ask the hero for specifics, but… ‘

The Demon King who promised to give a reward if he made a big contribution.

In this regard, she involuntarily began blushing slightly on her face, which no one could see because it was hidden by the helmet.

For some reason, while questioning the fact that I seem to have more expectations regarding the reward given to the hero…
