Episode 294
Episode 102. The first victory of the Eastern Allied Forces (1)
Upon hearing Yuma’s story, the faces of his colleagues darkened.
The part that thousands of Maksores were scheduled to be released in the Kyle Imperial Castle came as a particular shock.
Yuma emphasized that all of this was confirmed by exercising the power of insight.
It was because I thought it might be hard to believe from the point of view of my colleagues.
But it didn’t have to be. His colleagues had infinite trust in Yuma.
Without Yuma, he would not have been able to properly prepare for the invasion of demons from the underworld in the first place.
The colleagues also conveyed the current situation of the human world in detail to Yuma.
It was said that 50,000 troops were gathered in Kuzan, including Rugal’s elite army, and that other central countries were fully prepared.
Even until the end of the story, Rakir made only a hop on Natalie’s lap.
He seemed quite shocked by his brief exposure to Haider.
“Friend, I am a knight of His Majesty’s Imperial Guard. If Maksor is aiming for the imperial castle… what should I do now?”
Randall had a serious face without a hint of laughter as they spoke.
No matter how foolish he behaved, the essence of Randall Jacques was full of loyalty to the Kyle Empire.
To him, the safety of the empire took precedence over the survival of all mankind.
For Randall, Maxor, who will invade the imperial castle, is a much more serious problem than the enemy in front of him.
But I wonder if any other article has ever experienced such a situation. Yuma could read Randel’s confusion.
“I have the same desire to return to the Empire and stay by His Majesty’s side. But realistically, Sir Randell’s return does not mean that Maxore can be stopped. You will not have enough time.”
Saying that, Yuma shook her head bitterly.
‘Before the return, it was because of Maxor that the lower Hella went crazy…
Thirty years after the end of the Dragon Horse War, the mad eyes of the crazy Hella Rose, who was perishing the three families of Kyle, came to mind.
How long had she been fighting against the darkened heart that had been eaten by Maxor?
Numerous loyalists of the royal family, including the new sword Marlon Jacques, would not have known what Maxor was. They probably didn’t even know why their master was going crazy.
Although the result was a bloody purge and a new war, she would have tried to hold on to her maddening spirit alone.
Hela did not have transcendental abilities or a strong soldier’s body.
The fact that she, no different from an ordinary person, endured the demon’s mental control for decades was no different from a miracle in itself.
“Damn it… Dog-like demons dare to scorn the imperial family!”
Randel showed a strong life as if he could not control it. It was the first time most colleagues saw Randel like that.
“Sir Randall. We are facing a big bargain right now. You must win to defend your empire. Even this isn’t the end. If the demons of the underworld retreat, the demons of the underworld will attack next.”
“The demons of the underworld?”
Randel managed to calm his excitement and met Yuma’s eyes.
It was the first time Yuma had said that demons from the underworld were invading the human world. Yuma briefly explained this.
dragon war. Although he couldn’t fully describe the horrors before returning, Yuma felt a little relieved in a corner of his heart.
If they passed this war well, they could now build a proper allied army of the East and West under the pretext of invasion of the underworld.
After returning, I felt that my efforts so far were slowly bearing fruit.
The situation was urgent, but the history before the return, which was in a hurry to be slaughtered without knowing anything, would not be repeated anymore.
“I plan to visit the dragons after this war.
The world’s survival is at stake, but humans can’t stand alone forever. Sir Randall, let’s go and fight. That is the choice for Your Majesty.”
Silence passed. Randell felt ashamed when he saw Yuma’s courageous appearance, who was much younger than him.
“Yes, the motivation is clear. When I return to the West, I will fill the stomach with the necks of those wormy bastards.”
[Kha! Looks like I’m going to live a bit now.
Are you okay, lord?]
Rakir, who had been curling up on Natalie’s lap, spread his tiny wings and said.
“It’s okay, but we both almost fell behind. What is Heider really?”
[If the master hadn’t had the ability to freely move between the human world and the underworld, he would have been killed. Oh my gosh, that bastard Heider could never have been the owner of the abyss…]
“The owner of the abyss?”
Looking back at Haider’s authority in the abyss of the underworld, it was a name that suited him well.
Yuma, in particular, recognized Haider’s influence more sensitively than Rakir, but it was overwhelming, just like when dealing with Rysol.
[Yes, I only knew that it was an abnormally strong demon. If the fact that Haider is the owner of the abyss is known, the underworld will be in an uproar.]
‘Owner of the abyss’, as the name suggests, means the one who controls the abyss of the underworld.
However, all demons in the underworld except for Galos thought the position was currently vacant. Even the amanjo he drank.
It was because if the owner of the abyss kept his place, Queric would not be born.
[I’ll have to consider going to the Underworld for the time being. If you send your consciousness to the underworld, your body will be formed in the abyss.]
“Anyway, I got all the information I could get from the underworld. We’ve also secured the west and south, and we’ve discovered that there’s a rift between Amanzo and Galos. I also found one of Galos’ weak points.”
There is an existence that I want to resurrect.
That was an obvious weakness in Yuma’s eyes.
Of course, I had no intention of accepting negotiations. But to have a desire to save someone meant to have hope.
hope. A word that doesn’t fit at all with the demon king of the underworld. The enemy’s hope could be, above all, a cruel and certain weapon, depending on its use.
As a eunuch, Yuma had a history of using the vain hopes and desires of numerous ambitious people to destroy them themselves. There was no reason not to cook gallos.
“If there is someone you want to save, there must be someone you want to protect. I’ll have to look for it first.”
[I will tell you to find out with Mukka using Quitel. Kyaha!]
“You’ve improved your ability to understand words Rakir “Yuma-sama! Aang! After all, even while you were away, you were working hard for world peace! It’s romantic!”
Among the colleagues who came to the room, of course, Igor and Sevra were included.
“I still want to beat Igor.”
Yuma, who was about to raise his fist naturally, stopped moving and said.
Even so, he was now the lover of a country’s princess, so he couldn’t be picked up at random.
“I want to hit you sometimes too.”
“Princess Sebra. You are successfully laying the foundation for the Principality of Luscan, or the Ether Alliance. I want to congratulate you properly, but the situation is very urgent.”
“I believe in me, Igor, my soldiers, and Yuma-sama. Seeing the troops from all over the world united in Kuzan, I don’t think humans will ever perish.”
“The princess also gathered a lot of troops in a short time. There will be no reason for Rugal to turn away from the Aether Alliance after the war is over.”
The two exchanged a few words of thanks.
It was heartbreaking to hear that Sevra, who was blind when he first saw her, had already successfully led the Aether Alliance.
“Let’s all survive and have a big toast together.”
It was the moment Yuma had just finished talking.
dang…! dang! dang!
The dawn guards guarding the watchtower started beating the emergency bell like crazy.
The heavy sound of a bell broke the silence of dawn and woke the people in the castle.
And Yuma, who aroused his senses, could feel the strong magical power unique to a strong demon tribe.
‘It’s the level of a demon king. Could it be that Galos just came in?’
Yuma made eye contact with his colleagues and hurriedly opened the door.
Toulka, who was sleeping in the hallway right in front of the door, sensed the commotion and got up.
“Wait Yuma!”
Natalie grabbed Yuma as she was about to run away.
She dressed Yuma in a white dragon hanging in one corner of the room.
Yuma rode on top of Tulka and headed for the watchtower. Randel also ran to summon the commanders, and the rest of his colleagues found their respective seats without panic.
Arriving at the watchtower soon, Yuma was able to confirm that a strangely shaped cloud had formed in front of the Kuzan Castle.
Even in the dark dawn sky, it was an ominous cloud as if it had been painted exceptionally black.
But it wasn’t a cloud.
It was a huge amount of black aura.
And Yuma had seen the same thing before.
It was the same lightning cloud used by Empey on Porapora Island.
Yuma turned his head and looked at the guard. The guards were saluting Yuma with great tension.
“Did you guys ring the bell?”
“That’s right!”
The guards couldn’t look properly into Yuma’s eyes like a criminal. He also seemed worried about what would happen if he was punished.
Under normal circumstances, the emergency bell would not ring to the extent that a strange cloud had formed in front of the castle.
I would report it, but it was because the natural phenomenon was not a surprise attack by the enemy.
However, the soldiers were clearly aware that the invasion of the demons was completely different from the human war.
So, I rang the bell and saw it.
Even if that might upset the commanders this early in the morning.
Yuma patted them on the shoulder and said:
“Good job. You guys saved at least thousands of lives today. Light a beacon and make it clear that this is an emergency. When the battle is over, you will receive the prize you deserve.”
“thank you!”
“No matter what you imagine, a bigger price will be given, so don’t ever die.”
The guards continued ringing the bell and lighting beacon fires.
All troops in the castle began to move busily. Soldiers poured out from the barracks near the royal castle.
While Yuma was in the underworld, the human world was also doing its best.
Standing in the middle of the watchtower, Yuma watched them form a line and pulled out an Ascalon.
“It’s Yuma Drake! Commanders, quickly call in the scouts and gather the Spirituals to form a shield! The lightning of the demons will fall near the capital soon!”
It was a booming voice full of energy.
As Yuma tugged at his mane, Tulka lightly threw herself down the far-off watchtower and jumped off.
thud! At the same time as landing, thick dust rose.
“Complete the preparation of the shield within 10 minutes. I’ll go and buy some time!”
Tulka, who lowered her stance for a moment, started running forward like bitter flesh.
It was to attract attention before the lightning was shot into the royal castle.
