Episode 1467. What’s good for them?
Elio was unable to find the butcher until the day of the monument’s unveiling ceremony.
Out of frustration he even tried offering a reward but it was no use.
We received some reports about similar people but the results were not encouraging.
They all had scars on their faces not knife wounds.
In the end the search for the butcher was forgotten due to the schedule of the unveiling ceremony.
A large musketry unit was deployed in the morning on the border between Hirhera and Tameion.
This was to prepare for an unexpected surprise attack by demons.
When all Northern Kingdom Allied Forces were deployed to the operational area the city became empty.
The eyes of the soldiers stationed at the border were full of curiosity and tension.
The northern soldiers whispered as they looked at the canyon leading to Hirhera.
“Will the demon lords really come?”
“No matter how Count Lagoa is the Grand Master it will be difficult to gather the demon lords right?”
“I don’t know why they are holding such a trivial event. The border is not just a scutum (ice wall) but you can use it to stop the invasion of demons? “If the demon lords suddenly run wild today they will suffer enormous damage…”
“I mean. I’m worried even if the demon lords don’t come but I’m worried even if they come. “Oh my head hurts.”
The commander who was listening to the soldiers’ conversation said something sharp.
“Everyone shut up and come to your senses! Since Scutum who protected the North has disappeared it is right that something must be done. “It’s okay if the border fee helps there’s nothing to lose by erecting it.”
What he said was true so the soldiers stopped complaining.
Although some time had passed the canyon was quiet.
King Escatos IV secretly asked Duke Stauros Escatos commander of the central army.
“Be quiet. “Is it true that the demon lords decided to attend today?”
“you’re right. Don’t worry. The demon lords will attend.”
“Are you sure?”
“There are not many demon lords who can refuse Count Lagoa’s call. Besides guard fees are not a bad thing for demon lords.”
“What’s good for them?”
“Commander Lagoa and the Allied Forces of the Northern Kingdoms are gathered at the border of Tameion. That alone will put a lot of pressure on the demons of Tameon. The humans may attack Tameon to seek revenge. Didn’t many kings actually advocate for the conquest of Tameion? “Nowadays it would not be surprising if a war broke out in Tameion.”
“He is like that too.”
Escatos IV nodded his head.
The border monument being promoted by Count Lagoa is like a promise of mutual inviolability.
There would be nothing better for demon lords who were weaker than Count Lagoa.
***
Same time.
Gronemia Dark Castle.
Seven monarchs gathered in the castle of Lord Murmor.
Valier Paimon Grouse Argon Belial Shamos Mitkoven Murmorda.
The rank between them was revealed on the spot.
Vallière was the highest and Paimon Grouse and others sat below him.
Murmor who had recently become a monarch was a weakling even though he was the owner of the Dark Castle.
Lord Murmor spoke cautiously.
“Today is the day of the unveiling ceremony. “I haven’t decided on a time but still little by little…”
He trailed off his words looking at the glances of the unknown monarchs.
Perhaps out of pride the monarchs were unwilling to stand up from their seats.
I have to go to Orani but I don’t want to look weak for asking to go.
Lords Shamos and Mitkoven glanced at Lord Belial.
They hope that Lord Belial will come forward and do something.
The monarchs of Shamos Mitkoven and Murmor are all ranked outside the top 50.
On the other hand Lord Belial ranks in the top 20.
Vallière and Paimon Grouse are in the top 10 so it’s just around the waist.
However Lord Belial’s eyes turned to Lord Argon.
The Argon monarch is the 12th ranked demon monarch.
As the 20th ranked monarch of Belial I was hesitant to appear in front of him.
In fact the middle and upper-ranking monarchs did not know much because they attended after receiving a call from Monarch Paimon Grouse.
Lord Argon who sensed what the monarchs were watching opened his mouth.
“But Lord Paimon we seven monarchs have gathered in one place for the first time in a while… Do you think we should still accept Lord Lagoa’s proposal?”
The demon lords all looked at the Paimon Grouse lord.
Their faces were full of questions.
The corner of Lord Paimon Grouse’s mouth slightly turned up.
He smiled strangely and suddenly asked Lord Shamos.
“Lord Shamos do you think so too?”
Lord Shamos paused at Lord Paimon Grouse’s sudden question.
Soon a light sigh flowed from her mouth.
“Four lords including me fought Lord Lagoa and three of them died. The reason I survived was because I acknowledged him at the last moment. Otherwise he wouldn’t be here. Even if our seven monarchs cannot join forces… I think five of them will die. “I don’t know if I need to take that risk.”
After finishing her words Lord Shamos lowered his eyes as if he felt burdened by the gazes of the other monarchs.
Honestly 5 was a generous assessment.
Lords Vallière and Paimon Grouse seemed to notice so they said there were five but in reality they thought it would be fortunate if only one survived.
Paimon Grouse said with a grin.
“You gave me and Vallière generous points. But my thoughts are different. Unless all the demon lords of Tameion gather together they will not be able to defeat Lord Lagoa. And let me tell you up front don’t expect the seven lords to fight. “I will be out of that fight.”
Then Vallière joined in with a slightly displeased expression.
“That doesn’t sound nice. “Did you really have to tell me too?”
“It’s for you. “You’ll thank me later.”
Paimon Grouse did not back down at all.
Vallière was angry at his attitude but he was also curious.
‘Lord Lagoa is that strong?’
At best I couldn’t believe that a person from the Buraqui tribe was stronger than a monarch from a high-level demon tribe.
The slightly heated atmosphere cooled down.
However none of the seven monarchs showed any signs of speculation.
It was as if we had already lost before we even fought.
Lord Argon who was smiling bitterly slightly changed the topic.
“If Lord Lagoa has chosen to be the great warrior of the human race I think erecting a guard monument would be good for the demons of Tameion.”
The demon lords shook their heads at his words.
Suddenly Monarch Paimon Grouse looked at the monarchs and said.
“Do I have to listen to unpleasant comments while doing good things? “Let’s go before it’s too late.”
When Vallière the highest-ranking monarch among the present stood up the demon monarchs below him also stood up.
The demon lords are well versed in the geography of Tameon.
With the demon lords moving in earnest it took less than 10 minutes to reach the Carnivora Corridor.
***
Border between Hirhera and Tameion.
Was it around 11 o’clock?
As the soldiers on guard began to grow tired demons poured out of the canyon.
These were the seven monarchs their champions and their royal guards.
Otherwise the dark sky was completely black with the Astaroids (high-level demons) and the Baarak tribe (intermediate demons).
The humans who were talking about whether demons were coming or not stopped breathing at the sheer majesty.
If just one demon lord went on a rampage the kingdom would be destroyed but as many as seven of them gathered in one place.
The dark ether emitted by the demonic champions encroached on the surroundings.
As they felt dizzy and out of breath the northern soldiers chanted the blessings of Manapthras in their hearts.
The reality was more terrible than I had vaguely imagined.
Soldiers with weak physical and mental strength trembled and collapsed.
At that time Elio walked forward as if to meet him.
She also raised her spiritual energy and pushed the dark ether outward.
The dark ether was pushed out and the pitch-black darkness became discolored little by little.
It was as if a line had been drawn between Elio and the demons.
Elio then radiated even more spiritual energy as if it was ridiculous.
Then the situation immediately reversed.
The demon champions trembled as their spirit began to suffocate.
The inferior Paimon Grouse stepped forward and spoke.
“Lord of Mokubas! “We did not come to fight but to join in the guard you are erecting.”
Only then did Elio regain his spiritual energy.
Lord Vallière who was watching from behind looked at Lord Lagoa with an angry expression.
Overpowering over twenty champions with just momentum!
That was impossible for me.
‘How can you do this Shaitin?’
A monarch from the Buraqui tribe a low-level demon race is comparable to Shaitin!
I couldn’t believe it even when I saw it with my own eyes.
It seemed like he knew that Paimon Grouse and Lord Shamos were furiously opposing him.
The seven monarchs and the kings of the Northern Kingdom gathered in front of the huge monument.
So many street lights were installed that only the area around the monument was as bright as day.
Elio gestured and his chief of staff tugged at the rope hanging below the tombstone.
The cloth covering the temporarily installed tombstone flowed down.
There was nothing written on the bare side of the monument.
The demon lords and the kings of the northern kingdom looked at Count Lagoa with puzzled eyes.
Elio pulled out the ‘Sword of the Void’ that was strapped to his back.
The demon lords did not take their eyes off Lord Lagoa with nervous faces.
For a moment they thought ‘Lord Lagoa might kill them and advance to Tameion.’
But the misunderstanding was quickly resolved.
The chief of staff rushed over and handed me the paper he was holding.
It was a piece of paper with words to be engraved on the boundary monument.
Soon when Lord Lagoa waved his sword stone dust flew out from the huge monument.
The contents of the boundary monument were engraved in the common language of the continent on the left and in the demon language on the right.
Engraving letters on a tombstone with a sword was a sight that both demons and humans had never seen before.
The size of each letter was as thick as an adult’s forearm but the depth of the engraving was as much as a span.
What is surprising is that he wrote without stopping even once.
The surface of the stone of the monument was carved away as soft as tofu.
Elio who engraved the letters looked back at the northern kings and winked.
The hesitating kings went out one by one and wrote their names in oil mixed with gold dust in the blank space under the common language of the continent.
Next it was the turn of the demon lords.
The demon lords wrote their names under the demon language.
After a while as the northern kings and demon lords retreated Elio’s sword danced again.
Ga-ga-ga-gag-!
The names of the kings and the demon lords were engraved on the rock.
Lastly Elio engraved his name in the continent’s common language and the demon language.
This is how the border monument between humans and demons which will remain a legend on the Rodina continent was born.
The demon lords quietly returned to Tameion without complaint.
The Northern Kingdom Allied Forces were surprised that the demon lords knew and followed etiquette like humans.
Hope arose that perhaps the contents of the warning monument might actually be observed.
The Northern Kingdoms’ allied forces returned to their camp outside Hirhera leaving only the front-line guard troops.
That evening a grand party was held at the Chrysopedio – putting the term ‘apocalypse’ to shame.
Unlike the victory celebration party held in Victoria Chrysopedio’s party was an official event and all northern kings and nobles attended.
Elio exhausted from greeting the nobles slumped down in a corner.
At that moment a middle-aged woman passed by him and dropped her note.
Elio reflexively grabbed her note.
[slaughterer. Tailgate 9 p.m.]
After checking the contents Elio burned the note with a samadhi fire.
