Episode 1451. Then let’s be fair.
Beris who was about to talk about the Titan warrior’s extraordinary abilities suddenly saw the Lord of Mokubas.
‘But how did this guy survive?’
His overall condition was too good to be said to have come out of a big explosion.
He wondered how that could be possible but couldn’t bear to ask.
It’s because I don’t want to offend him by mentioning a big explosion for no reason.
“In the past one of the monarchs acquired a damaged immortal ladder. After obtaining the Titan’s magic tools from the Ladder of Immortality he ruled over half of Tameion. At that time the Immortal Ladder was first made known to the demons. “There was a monarch who saw a vision on the Unsealed Ladder of Immortality but… there was no mention of hearing a sound.”
Beris interrupted and glanced at the Lord of Mokubas.
Then Elio frowned at her and said
“So what do you mean by the superpower of a Titan warrior?”
“The monarchs believe that the Ladder of Immortality is a device to strengthen Titan warriors. “Each ladder of immortality had different magical tools… I guess the one in the Temple of Onistos yesterday was… Eternum.”
“….”
At that moment Elio was able to understand what the Titan warrior’s superpower meant.
As he was lost in thought Beris hurriedly continued his explanation.
“The reason I thought so was because when I cut a scratch on the surface of the Immortal Ladder… I saw it recover right away.”
“What is ethernum?”
“You can think of it as similar to the kingdom’s artenium.”
“The Artenium that even protects Exitium?”
“That’s right. Of course you can’t compare ethernum with something like artenium.”
“The difference is that big?”
“In the case of artenium it is destroyed if it is hit in the same place two or three times. However ethernum is not destroyed but rather regenerates quickly. Imagine wearing indestructible ethernum on your skin.”
“Oh it’s okay.”
“It’s not okay. Because titan warriors wearing them swept the battlefield. “But what did you hear from the Ladder of Immortality?”
“You don’t have to know.”
“….”
Beris who had been so blatantly ignored again pursed his lips.
‘Shall I kill you?’
I felt like if I used my hands from a close distance like now I could finish it off before the opponent noticed.
At that time Elio said mockingly.
“Are you scared?”
For a moment Beris felt as if something had snapped in his head.
Beris’s hands struck Lord Mokubas’ torso as if clapping.
However just before his palm touched Elio’s body Elio disappeared through the divine law above Hyung-hwan Lee.
Oh my!
As soon as the two palms met Elio appeared on Beris’ shoulder.
Embarrassed Beris reflexively turned his hand and snatched the monarch of Mocuvas.
Just in time the Void Sword flashed.
The Void Sword that cut off Veris’ hand then decapitated Veris.
Beris’ skin was as hard as rock but he could not deflect the Void Blade.
In an instant the palm which was larger than a human torso was split in half and half of his neck was cut off.
Beris who belatedly regained his senses grabbed his severed neck with his free hand and shouted.
“Save me!”
“Would you do that if it were you?”
Elio coldly accepted it leaping into the air and lowering the Void Sword.
Three aura blades fell on Beris.
Beris healed my neck with magic and deployed his shield at the same time.
However because his mind was distracted the shield’s power was poor and it was helplessly shattered by the Aura Blade.
Quaddddd—!
The aura blade that destroyed the shield fell on Beris’ head and both shoulders.
Kwasik! Kwasik! Kwasik—!
Beris’ shattered body collapsed onto the snowy field.
It took just one breath for Beris to clap his hands and cut them into thirds.
When the monarch Beris died horribly the demons fled without even looking back.
As if they had been waiting the Western Army began firing.
Puff puff puff! Pow!
Thanatos’ unique blue rays poured into the demon camp.
The gun soldiers who had used all of Thanatos fired their magic guns without stopping.
Suppressing the baseline with Thanatos and then finishing it off with regular magic bullets was the latest tactic of the Northern Kingdoms Allied Forces.
The demons injured by Thanatos fell down.
The damage to monsters that were fatally injured even by regular magic bullets was even greater.
The western army’s one-sided attack ended only when the moving demons were no longer visible.
The Western Army which destroyed the demon army without any damage cheered in victory.
“Wow!”
“The West has done it again!”
In the Northern Kingdoms’ Allied Forces the Western Army’s performance was the best.
The unit’s morale was also at its highest.
It is natural because there are almost no casualties in battles with demons.
After finishing the battle the western army took a short rest at the Aleks border village.
It was partly because they were exhausted from the forced march but more than that it was for the sake of supplying Thanatos.
This is why regular magic bullets are sufficient for monsters but Thanatos is essential against demons.
The place where Thanatos was supplied to the front-line troops was the logistics office of the 3rd Army Headquarters where the Escatos Kingdom Army belonged.
The Ministry of Military Affairs supplied Thanatos every ten days and today was that day.
After about five hours the sky turned hazy like there was fog.
The white night has begun.
Chief of Staff Viscount Oscar Abid came to Elio who was resting in the barracks.
“Commander.”
“what’s the matter?”
“Supplies have not arrived from the 3rd Army Headquarters.”
“Today is the tenth day right?”
“you’re right.”
“What is the quantity of Thanatos?”
“We supplied them to each rifleman and there were about 100 left. “There is no additional payment to the musketeers.”
“You mean I can only fight one battle?”
“Yes.”
“Anything from the 3rd Army Headquarters?”
Chief of Staff Abid who hesitated opened his mouth with difficulty.
“Well… there’s a story I heard.”
“What is it?”
“It appears that the Kingdom of Raminov and Avalon is keeping the Kingdom of Eskatos in check.”
“check?”
Elio looked at the Chief of Staff with an incomprehensible face.
In the eastern region the Kingdom of Escatos was on the front line flanking the kingdoms of Raminov and Avalon.
I would be grateful if they cleared out the demon army on the front lines but what is the point of keeping them in check when they sell their hats?
“Isn’t the military performance of our Escatos Kingdom army outstanding? “It seems there was some opposition from Raminoff and Avalon Kingdoms which were deployed in the same area.”
“What backlash?”
“It happened because the 3rd Army Command concentrated Thanatos on the Escatos Kingdom.”
“What kind of bullshit is that? “It happened because we fought more than them.”
“If you look at the process what you said is correct Commander. “They are making bizarre claims based solely on Thanatos’ supply numbers.”
“The supply of Thanatos is being delayed because of such idiotic behavior?”
“Three years ago the Kingdom of Raminov and the Kingdom of Avalon joined hands in a royal marriage. The Raminov Kingdom’s right to speak was also naturally strengthened. The Kingdom of Raminov is a country that has been at war with our Kingdom of Escatos for the past hundreds of years. “He would have hated to see the Kingdom of Escatos doing well.”
“Anyway that’s true. “You’re saying that when the survival of the Northern Kingdom is at stake?”
“They seem to think that if the Kingdom of Escatos emerges as the center of the North… it will be at a disadvantage for them. Well that will happen in reality.”
Viscount Abid a nobleman of the Kingdom of Escatos shook his head as if it was natural.
“no. “Without Thanatos the number of casualties will increase enormously.”
War is not fought alone.
While you fight the demon lord the western army must deal with the demons and monsters.
If Thanatos was not used to suppress the demons’ momentum the demons’ counterattack would result in great sacrifices.
“The 3rd Army headquarters is not free from the influence of the Raminov Kingdom.”
“No does that make sense? Even after losing the territory to the demon army you are playing around with idiotic politics?”
“Seeing as the supply unit from the 3rd Army Headquarters did not arrive today… it seems like that.”
“Then what should we do?”
“We need to urge the 3rd Army Headquarters to supply supplies.”
“That’s not enough. Deliver this to His Excellency the Duke of Escatos. “The Western Army will not move a single step from here until Thanatos’ supply is resumed.”
“If that happens the entire Escatos Kingdom army will come to a standstill.”
“Good. If you don’t want to wait ask Raminov or one of the Avalon Kingdoms to take the lead. “Let’s give them a chance to use Thanatos to the fullest.”
“Commander. That seems like a bit of an extreme prescription.”
“The extreme thing is to cut off the supply of Thanatos to the troops fighting on the front lines. Doesn’t that mean you have to die? What if Thanatos isn’t there? The fact that you are not giving it to them means that you consider the lives of the Escatos soldiers to be insignificant. Damn bastards. The more I think about it the angrier I get. “Go and tell the duke exactly what I said.”
“…yes.”
Chief of Staff Abid bowed and stepped down as his commander jumped.
As expected as predicted by the Chief of Staff the Escatos Kingdom army halted its advance.
The next day.
The Raminov Kingdom Army and the Avalon Kingdom Army on the left and right rears advanced to the vicinity of the Escatos Kingdom Army.
However when the Escatos Kingdom army did not move even after waiting the angry Raminov Kingdom army commander sent his staff to the 3rd Army headquarters to protest.
When the situation reached that point the 3rd Army headquarters summoned commanders from the eastern zone to the 3rd Army headquarters.
***
Aleks border zone.
3rd Army Headquarters.
The commander of the 3rd Army is Duke Kirill Bouba of the Fritian Kingdom.
The Kingdom of Fricia was geopolitically distant from the Kingdom of Escatos Raminoff Avalon.
That is why the commander of the 3rd army emerged from the weak Kingdom of Fricia.
However because it was a weak country it was not free from the influence of the Raminov Kingdom.
As the representatives of the three kingdoms gathered Duke Bouva commander of the 3rd Army spoke.
“The reason we have gathered you here urgently today is to discuss the issue of Thanatos’ supply.”
At that moment King Raminov III of the Raminov Kingdom took issue.
“Why is it a problem to normalize the supply of Duke Bouba Thanatos?”
Then Duke Escatos spoke politely.
“This is an official meeting of His Majesty the King’s 3rd Army Headquarters so it would be better to address him by his title.”
This time Duke Iskra Raminov the sword master of the Raminov Kingdom countered.
“Let’s not hold on to meaningless talk. The amount of Thanatos paid to the Escatos Kingdom army so far is greater than the combined number paid to the Raminoff and Avalon Kingdom forces. “Don’t you think there’s a problem?”
“Isn’t that because our Eskatos Kingdom army is fighting against the demon army on the front lines?”
“….”
As Duke Raminov hesitated Duke Jeff Dima of the Kingdom of Avalon intervened.
“Do you know that the Raminov Kingdom army and the Avalon Kingdom army did not fight against demons? If anyone hears this they will think that only the Escatos Kingdom army is at war with the demons.”
Perhaps because it was 2:1 the Kingdom of Escatos was pushed back from the horse’s feet.
Elio who had been silently watching the argument tapped the table with his palm.
The 3rd Army Headquarters conference room became quiet for a moment.
Elio spoke as attention focused.
“It seems like you like things to be fair so let’s be fair then. Our Escatos Kingdom army was at the forefront of recovering the Kingdom of Tallinn. Since you have just entered the Kingdom of Alexis take the lead among the Raminov or Avalon Kingdom forces. At this point let’s take turns taking charge of the vanguard each time we restore a kingdom. If we do that the distribution of Thanatos will be fair.”
