57 – Legion of Darkness (7)

Vives was still thinking about dying today. This wasn’t having a good effect on Greta or the soldiers under her command. I didn’t say that he shouldn’t fight directly or that he should inherit the military, but just seeing him occupying a corner of the camp with a droopy look made the soldiers dissatisfied and stressed out.

Of course, this behavior of Beeves was not the root cause of the demoralization. The real cause was the hero on the other side of the enemy camp. A monster holding only a sword in a fragile body and blocking Greta’s power. The hero’s stamina and mental strength were being reduced day by day, but Greta was not safe.

If it wasn’t for the overwhelming resilience and strong body unique to the Demon Dragon, he would have been the first to fall.

Fortunately, time was on Greta’s side.

Fierce battles took place every day, and it was the warrior camp that was pushed out as time passed. No matter how superhuman they claim to be, a hero is a human after all. Flesh colliding with flesh, and a single fatal wound continuing the fierce battle that decided everything, so the wounds or sacrifices of the soldiers increased, and the fact that they defeated the camp little by little was repeated.

If you keep going like this, you can win. You can destroy the camp and advance to the capital of the kingdom.

Greta saw a warrior sitting in the middle of the camp in the distance. The warrior’s hand was trembling enough to be seen here, and the priests clung to him and healed him. Fear and despair were visible on the faces of the soldiers.

Can you really defeat this army of monsters that do not know how to fight no matter how hard they fight and those with skills that exceed their own strength?

They are fighting while recruiting troops from all over the kingdom, but the soldiers are split as much as they are recruited.

You can’t even bite the soldiers.

The more you invest, the more senseless deaths.

Success was just around the corner.

Greta didn’t want her son to stand by her side with a distorted face. Greta thought that there was no need for her son to experience the tragedy of the battlefield any more. He was a man who would one day grow in strength and take over his place.

There was no reason to develop sympathy and trauma by showing the already miserable losers.

“Vives.”

So Greta called her son by name after a long time. Vivs, who was looking at humans with pitying eyes, was startled by his father’s call and ran. The ghouls glanced at Vivs, but in front of Greta, there was no squirrel here to cast disrespectful glances at Vivs.

“father.”

Hearing Beeves’ voice, Greta closed her eyes. After holding the magic crystal in his hand and thinking for a while, he started stroking Vivs’ hair. Crouching down as if he were a pet dog, Vivs spoke to Greta in a low voice.

“My opinion has not changed.”

“Know. But there is no way to achieve it. You don’t think showing a dissatisfied expression to the soldiers here is the solution.”

Vives bowed his head at Greta’s words. It was because there was no way to refute Greta’s words. said Greta.

“If we stop fighting here, will they leave us alone?”

“Humans are a peace-loving race.”

Greta snorted. Books that sing peace also belonged to demons. peace, love and morality. The meaning of emphasizing those things was because I felt the need for them. Like the savage and power-worshipping demon society, humans were not perfect beings.

“It is an illusion. Just because we enjoy drinking and dancing doesn’t mean we don’t have a cold side. If you look at things with a distorted gaze, you will get hurt because you can’t see the thorns on the back.”

“Even if there is an evil side, it is not a reason to die like this. How can we judge them so harshly?”

“You are not wrong. But is there a way? Are you the Demon King?”

Beeves kept his mouth shut. In the end, this conversation always ends with Beeves’ conversation. Because now, Bibs couldn’t do anything more than whine at his father. Greta patted Beeves’ head and said in a low voice.

“Vives. that i brought you here Watching this father fight, it was to uplift you. But it seems I was wrong. It is my mistake to carve you with useless thoughts.”

“father.”

Greta watched the hero. The warrior was raising his body again. The demon who was servicing the machine behind Greta shouted.

“Everything is ready!”

Smoke billowed from Greta’s body. Greta patted Vieves on the back.

“Me and you are descendents of famous demon dragons in the demon realm. If there is something you want to do, stop whining and find something to do yourself.”

The commander’s voice spread throughout the warrior’s camp.

“All troops! Ready to defend!”

Greta revealed this.

“Vives! As commander, I give orders! Go back to base immediately! And, think about what you have to do and wait for the victory!”

It was an order. The demonic soldiers were keeping their eyes open as if they were going to break it. The demons who manage the machine also gave uncomfortable glances and wanted him to disappear quickly. Greta did not look back at The Beeves.

Vivs turned around limply, and Greta’s voice shook the battlefield.

“All troops! Charge! This time, we break through their defenses and advance toward the capital!”

“Waaa!”

A horse prepared for Beeves. This beast, airlifted from the Demon Realm, had red eyes and was chewing mud. Beeves shrugged and mounted his horse. As the battlefield receded, his heart was filled with disturbing energy.

“I really need to go back.”

Lena yawned and told me.

I also nodded with a puzzled face.

It was because I had been waiting for a long time, but there was no harvest. At first, the plan was to raid the supply unit, but it was changed to a plan to wipe out some reinforcements and go, and even that did not come, so it was changed to a plan to kill even a messenger and return.

And in the meantime, the war was going to be a fierce battle, and according to the news that jeonseogu told me, they were eating the corpses of their allies to supply supplies, so there was no need for a supply unit to come.

Lena was annoyed as she waved the letter around.

“No, what are these corpse eaters? Why didn’t Kiberes talk about them? Isn’t that a betrayal?”

“Even I don’t trust the Demon Cayberes, but the way he reflected on that day seemed sincere. Why don’t you trust me a little more, Lena.”

Ashria was leaning against the wall while feeding Jeonseo-gu. After hearing that waiting here was a futile effort, she was in a state of alert. Ashria put the Bible in her pocket and told me.

“Porter. What is your opinion? The operation is canceled for now, but is there anything else we can benefit from?”

I shook my head. In the first place, this place was at the forefront of all fronts. It was a dangerous place that would receive intensive fire even if the location was exposed to enemies, so if the operation failed, the correct answer was to get out quickly.

“All other strongholds will be heavily guarded, and if we make a mistake, we will be taken prisoner. I think it would be better to just pull it out as quickly as possible.”

Ashria nodded and patted Jeon Seo-gu on the head. And he got up and said

“Then stop… … .”

“Wait a minute, someone is coming.”

Then Lena pressed down on Ashuria’s head and said. Falling back to the floor, Ashuria glared at Lena with a dissatisfied expression, but looked away when she saw Lena’s serious expression. From the direction of Greta’s camp, a saber-looking demon was riding a horse, and beside him, about 5 soldiers were grunting and chatting.

“So, why are you offending Greta-sama? Yeah? Even the soldiers are crazy about fighting, but what about peace? Don’t talk like that when you get home. Then it really gets into trouble.”

“But what is not right is not right. We have to talk to humans, find a compromise, and move on to a new path. How much blood has been shed so far? The history of the demons is a history written in blood, so how much more blood do you think our atrocities will end?”

“That’s why, why is the young master trying to decide? This is it. Don’t you know that the demon lord has lost his eyes because of the death of his third son? If you say it wrong, it will join the Ciberes tendon, and the boy’s neck will be blown off.”

“Know… … . However, when I go back this time, I plan to talk directly to the Demon King.”

Lena listened to the conversation of the demon tribe and threw her eyes alternately at Ashuria and me. Lena asked while spinning the needle.

“how will we do it? Shall I kill them all?”

“First of all, don’t you think the middle one would be useful?”

I pointed at a demon riding a horse. Wearing luxurious clothes and showing a lot of enthusiasm for learning, it was obvious that he was a dark-hearted guy. Ashuria also nodded at my words.

“I think that would be good.”
