Episode 95. Securing the Yunin Oasis Hunting demons that become blood and flesh (1)
While Rakir rolled on the floor and laughed, Prince Ilan called the party into the conference room.
At the round table in the conference room, Ilten and the commanders were sitting and laying out military maps.
“Baron Drake. Since the current situation of the war in the central region changes from time to time, there are few areas that can be clearly identified. Besides, since we were kicked out of the castle…
“It’s okay, Prince. It is only necessary to be able to confirm the names and locations of key points in the central region.”
One by one, the commanders began to explain the expected battle situation to Yuma and the others.
“Judging by the speed at which Ragatino Rollmandi’s army is advancing, it must be said that about 30% of the middle ground has already been captured. It seems that the neighboring countries of Amel and Chaylan have already suffered.”
“I learned that by interrogating the captives. Among the captives were soldiers belonging to Hejinar, another ally of Chailan. According to their testimony, Hejinar was attacked by monsters.”
Randall, who had been listening to the story, opened his mouth curiously.
“Isn’t Heginar near here? The army of Ragatino has already reached Heginar?”
that’s no Perhaps some of the leading units are just passing through the Central Desert.”
“It is said that the monsters that attacked Hejinar came out of the demon’s lair. However, contrary to the habits of the existing monsters, they persistently sought out and killed humans. Attack the castle and fortress.
At that point, Yuma’s eyes shook.
‘Damn it, everything is going very similar to the Dragon Horse War. The demon cave is activated, and demonic chairs appear one after another. Then, next is the appearance of higher level monsters.’
Instead of artificial monsters like Maktoum, the next phenomenon would have been pure monsters of higher order coming out of the demon cave.
During the Dragon Horse War, Selove and Darkgol Ram were representative. However, mankind did not know what kind of monsters were among the higher rank monsters in the underworld.
“Rakir [yes! Lord!]
When Yuma called for Rakir, who was in Natalie’s arms, Ilan and the commanders showed signs of embarrassment.
It bothered him from the first time he brought it to the conference room, but Ilan couldn’t bear to ask Yuma what Rakir was.
“Oh, you don’t have to be wary.
They are demons I made as subordinates.”
“Is that so?”
There was an awkward silence for a while.
[Ahaha! Humans! It’s okay if you don’t be afraid of me… Ugh!]
“He is the prince of a country. Set an example, mutt.”
Yuma said while pinching Rakir’s cheek until it stretched about an inch.
[Heuk! Lord! I have lived for over a thousand years!] “Disobeying orders? this bastard.”
[Oh no. Black, but Lord.
The only thing about using honorifics with humans…
I also have pride…
I’m still a high-ranking demon…] “It’s just that.”
[Large. All right. No, but I don’t understand why the lord uses honorifics for people like that.]
“I understand.”
[Ep.]
Rakir dropped his ears and made a sullen expression. Ilten and the commanders cleared their throats and looked at Rakir.
“Explain what kind of habits Rakir Underworld monsters have.”
[In the Underworld, it is more about quantity than those who have excellent single-unit combat power, such as Cellov or Dark Golem in the Underworld. In a few months, a huge number of nasty monsters will pop out of the demon cave.]
“What are your weaknesses?”
[There is no such thing as a weakness because they are too weak. Even human infantry can handle it well enough. It’s because there are so many more. However, there are two types of monsters to be careful of.]
Those two types were the highest-level monsters in the underworld called ‘Agwan’ and ‘Gwight’, the monster wolves that Amanjo commanded.
[Ahgwan is not dangerous because he is strong. His reconnaissance skills are excellent, so he has to kill all the tribes he sees, and the real problem is Gwight. Wight is… There is one thing that comes close to human language. To put it simply, it is a demon dragon.]
“A demon dragon?”
[Yes, it’s a little different from what humans call madong. They’re mad when they’re alive, and Wyatt’s a mad dragon when he’s dead.
Wight will probably start appearing after about three months.]
As Rakir is a high-ranking demon, he was well aware of the various habits of the underworld.
Illan and the commanders looked on their faces in disbelief the whole time they were listening to Rakir’s explanation.
[Quite is much more dangerous than Maktoum. He’s not even worth a meal in the Underworld, but… it’s a disaster for humans.]
Rakir explained Gwight’s combat abilities in detail. Not only that, but he inferred the tactics the demons of the underworld would take in the future.
“I will vouch for this bastard’s words, my prince. Send people throughout the East to tell them about it.
Since we have to prepare anyway, Seruka must play a central role in conveying information.”
In each area where there was a large-scale demon cave, excellent spirits and magic bombers had to be deployed.
Also, a special unit made up of sword masters had to be formed, and the Eastern command system had to be unified.
That was the role of Rugal and the kings of Iha, not Yuma.
“Prince. When Kantra’s reinforcements arrive, defend the central region based on Seruca Castle. I will be occupying the strategic point with my party, so please lead the reinforcements in turn.”
“I see. There are a total of four key points in the central region that we have determined at this point.”
Dempir Fortress, Kuzan Capital A desert fortress in the middle of Yunin Oasis.
All of them were located at the beginning of the central desert area and were lined up in a row starting from the Kuzan Castle.
Randel, who looked at the location of each strategic point through the map, nodded.
At first glance, it seems like I made a good choice. In particular, we must occupy the Dempir Fortress. If we don’t catch this, reconnaissance in the desert area will be impossible.”
“Surely Sir Randall. Yes, Dempir Fortress is managed by desert mercenaries who have contracts with His Majesty Rugal.”
However, the most urgent place was the Yunin Oasis area.
Yunin was the largest oasis in the central desert region and was responsible for 70% of drinking water.
If Yunin was taken away, it would be impossible to operate infantry in the desert.
There was no law that Yunin had already been captured, but it was the first area to be confirmed as drinking water should not be blocked.
“We will depart immediately for Yunin Oasis. You can start from Yunin and head to Dempir through Kuzan and Central Fortress.”
“Baron Drake… the whole East owes you a great debt.”
“Prince, please move as quickly as possible. In the current situation, it is safe to say that Seruka is in charge of all information about this war.”
“Okay!”
There was no time for a farewell party.
Yuma and the others boarded the Tulka immediately after having a short and bold conversation with Prince Ilan about several issues.
This time, the commanders and soldiers were not even allowed to come out to see them off. It was because it was much more important to repair the capital during that time and to carry out their respective duties.
Only Prince Illen watched as Yuma and the others left.
“Then good luck!”
“Good luck!”
Tulka got out of King Seruca’s castle at full speed.
[Master! Aaaaaa! I’m sure of this beast! Does it have to be bitten in your mouth!?]
“Did you follow me while fluttering with your little wings?”
It took more than four days to get to Yunin, even in the Tulka.
On the way, the party was able to encounter quite a number of monsters.
Amanjo’s army hadn’t reached this area yet, but the monster wolf’s agwan seemed uninterested.
“Seeing those wolf cubs reminds me of pleasant memories in Joheim? I want to tear myself to death.”
Seeing Ah-gwan, Natalie grabbed the chainsword and said.
[girl! The agwan yields to the lord.
These are the guys who will be a great nutrient for the body of the underworld of the master.]
“Tch.”
[Master. It is truly a health food.
Hurry up and absorb them with something!]
Agwan was scouting the central region in a group. They were monsters that acted as the eyes of Amanzo in the human world on behalf of Maxor, the aura creature of the underworld.
Wow!
Tulka let out a roar and chased after the group of archers. There were three in total, and Tulka stepped on the tail one by one.
[Agwan must be killed before Amanjo recognizes it. Otherwise, our location will be discovered.]
Hwareuk! The summoned Amula stabbed the first agwan. Then the other two turned and ran away.
It was an open area, and Ah-gwan was also a monster with very fast feet. However, Tulka held her breath for a moment and then showed explosive acceleration, allowing Yuma to catch both of them.
[The more I look at this beast, the more I like it…. There is no one like this in the Underworld.]
When night fell, the party prepared to camp.
Normally, Yuma would also set up a tent and cook with his colleagues, but Rakir urged Yuma, saying that time was wasted.
[You should all practice controlling your body in the underworld during the time your lord empties. Let the things below set up the tent.] Pupper pup!
Rakir corrected the expression ‘lower ones’ to ‘friends’ only after being beaten by his colleagues.
[Keep kook. Ignorant things… Ha Lord. Use maryl lace. All you have to do is hold it in your hand and think that you want to go to the underworld. Come on! hurry! Ha ha ha!]
Rakir was in a state of excitement, drunk with the mind that he was supporting and growing Yuma.
If you think about that, Rakir didn’t mind being beaten just now.
“Hmm, I understand.”
Hua Aak ….
As Rakir said, Yuma felt that the consciousness slowly moved to the world through the marily.
Soon, a dizzying sensation as if falling into an endless abyss swept over his body. When I opened my eyes, the scenery of the melting southern part of the underworld unfolded.
[Master. You are here.]
Again, the huge body of Rakir, like a mountain range, floated above Yuma.
‘Oh, I can’t get used to it…
The difference between the main body and Inse’s body is too great.’
Yuma’s underworld body was still made of only bones. Yuma scratched his head with his rattling fingers.
Then, as if realizing something, a voice rang out.
[uh? Rakir. My finger bones seem to have gotten a little harder than before.]
[It’s the effect of absorbing three subs. If the lord absorbs the demon tribe, it becomes the blood and flesh of the body of the underworld.]
A voice more solemn than that of the Imperial Etiquette Education Officer. It was a stark contrast to Inse’s Rakir.
However, there was a subtle hint of satisfaction in that dignified voice.
It’s fun that Yuma’s underworld body has gotten even a little stronger.
[Master. From now on, for two days in the underworld time, the lord will have sparring with me.]
[Really? I like it because it’s sparring… Wait, it’s sparring?]
[Yes.]
[I’m a bone and you’re as big as the Egon Mountains, so you’re sparring?] [
That’s right. Please accept this first.]
Kuo oh oh….
An enormous amount of flame was gathering in Rakir’s mouth.
Yuma, who was suddenly taken aback, didn’t even have an eyeball to work on, so he just fiddled with his empty eyes.
