Episode 101. Advancement (7)
* * * While Yuma left for the Underworld, Kujan Castle held military meetings every day.
Hearing about the news of Prince Ilansizer of Seruka Castle and Koldo, Knight of Hajir, they visited Kuzan.
Chaylan and Amel were also temporarily governed by the Kantra army and sent their commanders to Kujan.
In addition to that, all the small and medium-sized mercenaries, including several neighboring countries, gathered in Kuzan to attend the meeting.
It was the result of Rugal’s bodyguards insisting very strongly on their duty to protect the East.
The bodyguards blunted that those who did not respond to the summons would never share the glory after victory in the Demon War, and would be treated the same as Miryak in the West after the war.
Of course, the SS’s intimidation was not the only thing that made numerous leaders band together and surrender their troops.
First of all, the fact that Kantra supported a large army became known throughout the country, and even today, there are cases of suspects and invasion damages one after another.
In addition, not to mention the civilians who were exposed to the demons, but now even the powerful people of each country felt it with their skin. There were some happy faces among the leaders who visited the Kuzan Castle, realizing that this war was really a matter of the survival of the East.
“Princess Sebra! Igor!”
As soon as Yuma and the others saw the two, they became very angry. Igor wanted to beat him every day, but he was overjoyed to see him again in the chaos.
“It’s been a while, everyone.”
Sebra’s voice was still beautiful.
After Yuma left, she changed the name of the Principality of Ruskan to the Aether Alliance and created a new flag.
The lords who experienced Yuma’s incapacity quickly closed the territory war and worked hard to rebuild the duchy, and Sebora changed the rule she had indirectly experienced while staying with Rugal in her own way and successfully raised the Aether Alliance.
However, since it had not been long since Yuma left, the foundation of the Ether Alliance was not solid. Due to the long war on the territory, all resources and food were in short supply.
However, it is impossible to ask for support from Kantra just by trusting Yuma’s name.
She made up her mind to pay a fair price for her achievements, so she selected 7,000 soldiers and sent them directly to the front line.
It was a smart choice.
If they joined the front line, they would naturally be able to gather provisions, and even though they were a small country in the rear, they seemed to be participating in the war before the Demons, so they were able to make a clear cause for receiving Cantra’s support afterwards.
“Haha! Everyone missed Igor, the Knight of the Roses!”
Hundreds of roses, large and small, were engraved on Igor’s armor. Looking at it made my head dizzy.
“Now, the knight of the rose? What is that unsuitable nickname?”
said Natalie, shaking Igor’s hand.
“It symbolizes my romantic personality and the love I have with the princess…
“Stop. I don’t want to hear more.”
“Oh, Igor is still the same.”
“Iknow, right. These days, I don’t have a chance to get hit by Yuma-sama, and since I’m even in love, my face is dripping with oil.”
Igor and Sebora became a couple who were loved by the people of the Aether Alliance.
The people started to call Igor the Knight of the Rose. Naturally, the ‘rose’ was Sebra.
“You mean you really became the princess’ fiancée?”
“That’s right!”
“for a moment! If Igor marries the princess, will he become royalty?”
“Oh princess… Think about it again. What’s good about that furry beast? yes?”
“Because he is a good person. I’m really glad that everyone is okay. I could often hear your heroic stories while coming this far.”
Sevra then briefly informed the party of the situation in the rear. The rear zone was now struggling with immigration and flight.
It wasn’t just the frontlines who felt extreme fear from the invasion of demons.
Even in the rear, there were quite a few cases of stealing money and going on night raids.
“It looks like the rear is also open.”
“There are also bizarre religions claiming that the end of the world has come and deceiving people.
In particular, Kantra is not even a fuss these days because of that.”
“The fact that the public order has been disturbed that much means that at least everyone is conscious that something terrible has happened. Better than carefree.”
“You might think so.
By the way, Yuma-sama…?”
Natalie explained to Sevra that Yuma had been fighting in the underworld for a while.
Sebora didn’t understand at first, but after examining the people’s mood, she realized that it wasn’t a lie.
They moved to the room and watched Yuma lying down.
Yuma was motionless, like someone in a state of suspended animation. Rakir also curled up in a circle and seemed to be sleeping.
“It’s frustrating because we don’t know what’s going on in the underworld. I’m sure I’m doing well, but I can’t help but worry.”
said Natalie with a sigh. Igor made a fuss about whether Yuma was dead.
“Aang! Yuma-sama!”
“Be quiet, Igor.”
Sevra scolded Igor.
At that moment, Randel, who had just finished the meeting, opened the door and entered. He raised his forehead with a haggard face and announced the outcome of the meeting.
“In one month, the entire army will arrive at the front line and begin the advance. The troops will be divided into three branches, and the spirit warriors will release the water spirit in the desert to secure the road.”
Based on Yunin Oasis, it was also possible to secure supplies. It was thanks to Yuma’s killing of Yunin’s former commander, Bappa.
If the advance had started without Bappa noticing that he was possessed, there would have been a problem with the supply of provisions before the first battle.
“The scouts keep coming back dead or injured. I heard that Emperor Rugal’s ship, the Heart of Cantra, is also heading for High Mac after circling the continent.”
“Will I be able to control that many troops?”
“There should be no problem with the troops gathered in Kuzan, but I can’t check all the troops from other central countries and the rear front. I have no choice but to trust the SS and the commanders there.”
Nearly 50,000 troops had already gathered in Kuzan alone.
Since they could not all be accommodated in the castle, more than half of them camped in the nearby plains and waited.
“I got information that Ragatino’s main force approached the room near Dempir. If the Red Moon Ritual begins again nearby, it will be over, so we must march in one month. In fact, a month too late.”
“If Sir Randall is in charge of the Allied Command, there will be a lot of talk inside and out.”
No matter how strong and excellent it was, it was not a good look for a Western knight to assume the commanding position of the Eastern Allied Forces.
“That will be handled by Yuma. After all, the real command is taken by the commanders in each region, and friends are supposed to fight at the forefront.”
Yuma had already made a name for himself as a prophet in the East, and was the first to secure key points in the middle right after the invasion of the demons.
In addition, numerous soldiers directly watched his performance, and Emperor Rugal entrusted the leadership of the bodyguards, so there was little room for gossip.
“First of all, I hope the enemy doesn’t use any other strategy for a month…
幸** After entrusting management to Myuka, Yuma and Rakir started moving toward the abyss of the underworld.
Like the remnants of the underworld, the abyss of the underworld belonged to a lower dimension that made up the underworld.
That’s why it was possible to move just by opening and closing the dimension, not by flying.
[If you hadn’t obtained Quitel, you wouldn’t have been able to open the dimension leading to the abyss of the underworld. It’s possible because the magical power is strengthened.]
Suwook.
It was the first time I had opened a dimensional door and moved.
As Rakir pushed himself into the cut-out space, Yuma felt a little dizzy.
[Is it over?]
[Yes, this is the abyss of the underworld.
It’s the first time I’ve been here too.]
The abyss of the underworld was literally empty. There was not a single small structure, and there were no traces of other demons.
[This is where Maxor is created?]
[Yes, this is where Amanzo’s consciousness was formed as a space.
Look to the side, Lord.]
Boom!
There was a sound of something exploding in the air right next to Yuma, and a Maxor was formed.
Before Yuma could even open his eyes, Yuma punched him out.
pop! pop!
Maksoor continued to form.
Soon after, Yuma realized that there was no point in killing them.
‘It’s the same as when Igmeseus summoned the spirits.’
But it was strange.
The Maksores that kept popping out of the air seemed completely unaware of Yuma and Rakir.
When I looked closely, they were moving toward one place like water flowing down a drain.
[uh? That’s strange. Originally, I heard that Maksores open their dimension at the same time they are born and fall into the mainland of the Underworld.]
[Really?]
Yuma naturally started walking along with Maxor. I killed a few more in the middle, but there was no change in the movements of the Maksores.
Yuma and Rakir, who walked for a long time and confirmed the destination of the Maksores, had no choice but to open their mouths.
[Lord, Lord. That’s…]
The entrance to another dimension was open at the place where the Maksores stopped moving further.
[okay. The human world.]
The entrance was still the size of a small tray.
However, what was visible behind it was clearly the human world.
It was a space familiar to Yuma, among others. Yuma’s pupils widened as he confirmed the human world reflected in the portal.
[Kyle’s Imperial Majesty Asuka’s Egg is real…]
Even Asuka Rose, who was sitting with a pensive face, and Hela Rose, who was standing next to him, were clearly visible.
Thousands of Maxors were perched right in front of the tiny portal.
I felt like I was waiting for the right time, as if I couldn’t get over it just yet.
As soon as he confirmed the scene, Yuma’s whole body gave rise to goosebumps. Yuma slashed the Maksores and reached out to the dimension where the audience room could be seen.
As if there was an invisible glass screen, Yuma’s hand was blocked. It was a phenomenon that occurred because of the limited intervention.
‘You crazy demon tribe! Is this a plan to free Maksoor from royalties!?’
What if Amanzo made some kind of move and temporarily loosened the restrictions on intervention, and all these Maxors fell in the middle of the Kyle Imperial Castle?
All humans in the imperial castle will become Amanzo’s puppets.
Yuma held his breath and formed a lightning bolt in the sky. It was to burn all the stacked Maksores.
[Master! Wait a minute!
If this many Maksores are killed at once, Amanzo’s main body may move!] It
made sense.
It seemed that even these numerous Maksores hadn’t passed yet, so it was necessary to act a little more carefully.
[Rakir. Apparently, the ritual of the red moon is a trick. Its real purpose is to pay them for royalties…]
Having said that, Yuma cut off his words and summoned Aquila. Rakir also felt something and enchanted Quitel.
[What are you guys doing again?]
Yuma looked back and said.
Genar and Chadun, the generals of the north sent by Galos, were glaring at the two.
