◈ 344. [Evil Side] Eojeonhoee (2)
《It’s you.》
What the demon king pointed to was the last seat on the table.
The eyes of all the corps commanders turned to the end of the table in unison.
And the one sitting there-
«… .》
Goblin God King.
It was Carly-Alexandre.
《Yes?》
《No… … .]
《What is this-》
A small commotion spread among the nightmare corps commanders.
In fact, I can understand whoever is chosen among those gathered here.
Because each one of them is close to a great disaster from the point of view of mankind, enough to destroy the world.
but however.
That goblin was an exception.
No matter how much you were born as a mutant among goblins and are the strongest individual among that race, you are still a goblin.
If the other corps commanders gathered here made up their minds, they were weak enough to turn into a handful of blood in an instant.
《… I don’t know what kind of prank this time it is again, but the King of Kings.”
Plague Lord Raven, 4th in the hierarchy, clicked his tongue through the crow mask.
《First of all, I agree with your decision in the bio. If you’re going to use those lowly goblins and their corps, it’d be better to send them out as soon as possible. Before Ash and his minions get any stronger. When those goblins are even a little more useful.”
“… .]
Despite being humiliated right in the face, Carly-Alexandre just listened. Raven continued.
《But, King of Kings, why don’t you cancel what you said before?》
The corner of the demon king’s white lips curled up as if he was happy.
“What did you say before? What part of my words do you want to cancel?”
“Didn’t you say, ‘Select the person you can entrust with trust in the destruction of the public’? After that, you chose such an insignificant thing, excluding the riotous monsters who gathered here.
” I bowed my back.
“It’s disappointing from our point of view, and it’s also taken as an insult to us.”
A notice of agreement among the other nightmare corps commanders spread like a wave.
The demon king covered his mouth and suppressed laughter.
《So, to put it simply, I said I would choose the most trustworthy among you, and then chose the weakest goblin
.
The Demon King is great! I cleared my throat and laughed.
《There are several reasons why I chose the goblin army for this flood.》
Slowly, he raised his hand and scanned the men seated at the table.
《First of all, except for the goblin army, all of you are ‘too strong’.》
《… ?]
A bewildered light flashed across the faces of the nightmare corps commanders.
Why is being too strong a problem?
《I’ve been dark events for this flood… … That’s why I didn’t use the ‘blessing’ that was always bestowed on my legion invading royalties.》
《… ?”
“The power is amplified if you collect them and use them. However, all of you except for the goblin army are too strong to use this blessing.] If
the difficulty of the stage reaches maximum, [Dark Event] cannot be used.
So, the demon king has not been able to use [Dark Event] for each boss stage.
The Vampire Corps in Stage 5 and the Werewolf Corps in Stage 10 were too powerful, so they had already filled the difficulty level to the maximum.
However, the goblin corps was a corps that could be mobilized to the boss stage, but the difficulty barely reached the maximum.
This meant that [Dark Event] could be applied in Stage 15.
To this end, the demon king did not use the [Dark Event] from stage 11 to stage 14 and carried over and amplified it.
《… What the hell are you talking about?”
However, the corps commanders who heard this for the first time were perplexed, saying they couldn’t understand.
“These are the ‘rules’ of this game. You don’t have to understand. You just need to know that there is such a thing.”
The demon king waved his hand as if it was troublesome to explain further.
《Anyway, the only legion that meets this condition is the goblin legion among you. so i chose More than anything.”
The demon king smiled and stared at Carly-Alexandre.
《I don’t think the goblin army is particularly weak.》
《… .]
《In terms of the individual strength of the corps commander, it is definitely Alexander. You are the weakest among them.]
The demon king removed the first modifier ‘Kali-‘ from Callie-Alexandre’s name and called only the second name.
In the meantime, the eyes of the goblin god king, who had been unmoving under the mask no matter what insults he heard, twitched.
However, he did not show any signs outside the mask.
《And the individual members of your species are also the weakest of all nightmares in the Lake Kingdom.》 《
… .]
《But.》
The Demon King gently chined his chin.
《Your ‘corps’, a gathering of your tribes… … never weak Isn’t it?”
“… Great king of kings.”
Carly-Alexandre spoke for the first time.
The goblin god king, who slowly got up, showed his respect and bowed.
《If you give me a chance, I will prove what you have said.》
The Goblin God King uttered a deeply condensed voice from within a helmet that was a combination of a mask and a crown.
《I will show everyone in the world the reason why my corps took the bottom seat of this position.》 《I
will give you a chance.》
The demon king stretched out his hand and commanded.
“Invasion of the people. Kill everything and burn everything. Use the talents of you and your corps without regret.》
《… .]
《And prove it.》
The demon king spoke in a tone that seemed to provoke the other corps commanders, as if to listen to them. spit out the following
“That you are not pushed by the other corps commanders here. And your kind can’t be outdone by any other nightmare… … It’s an army that aims to be the strongest.]
Chuck!
Callie-Alexandre bowed and bowed. Staring at the goblin, the other Nightmare Corps commanders did not hide their displeasure.
Callie-Alexandre asked, slowly straightening her back and paying her respects.
“The King of Kings. Can I ask just one thing?”
“Of course.
” … Can you find out what it is?”
He smiled.
A white smile rose like a crescent moon on his pitch-black face covered in the shadow of the demon king.
And the demon lord gave that blessing without hesitation about the contents of the [Dark Event] to be used in the next stage.
《It is ‘breeding’》
《… !]
《You can look forward to it, Alexander.》
The demon king laughed heartily.
《Because you will be commanding a large army of an unprecedented scale that you have never commanded before!》
Carly-Alexandre slowly lowered her head as she listened to the demon king’s lightsaber and the other corps commanders looked at her hostilely.
Inside the mask, the Goblin God King’s face had a complicated glow.
yeah in the end
I have no choice but to kill and burn.
To prove that a goblin is a goblin, especially to prove that it is a useful goblin.
Because that’s the only way.

“Happy New Year~!”
“happy new year!”
I woke up in the morning, scratched my stomach through my pajamas, and crawled out to the restaurant, where I was greeted unexpectedly.
It was Evangeline and Damian. The two youngest members of our party laughed and scattered winter petals in front of me.
Lucas and Junior are also seen in the restaurant.
The two people who were busily setting tableware on the table waved at me as they made eye contact with me. What is this?
“… uh? new year?”
He rubbed his swollen eyes with the back of his hand and asked in a low voice. What do you mean new year?
“Oh dear. You must really live without looking at the calendar. look!”
Evangeline pointed to the calendar hanging on the wall.
It’s a handmade calendar that uses one page per day, and it’s true.
It has been replaced with a thick new one and, as expected, has the number January 1st engraved on it.
I took off my sleeping cap, scratched my messy hair, and let out a weak voice.
“You’ve been sick the past few days… Would you have been in the mood to look at something like a calendar… … .”
The incident happened a few days ago and several days have already passed. I’ve been moaning in bed all this time.
Still, I felt a little better today, so I crawled out to the restaurant, and out of nowhere, the party members were preparing for a Happy New Year event.
“To be honest, I was going to wake up my seniors when I’m done preparing and surprise everyone, but you came out first and started a surprise attack here… .”
“You have to surprise me… ?”
“Yesterday, as soon as it was 12:00, we had an event to burn last year’s calendar! Senior didn’t even attend because he was sleeping!”
“Because it hurts… Please take a look… … .”
Rather than that, did you play with fire like that at night? When I play with fire, I draw a map while sleeping. Be careful.
After Evangeline’s bruises passed, Damian, smiling like an angel, blessed me with health.
“Happy New Year, Prince! I hope you will be healthy and not sick this year!”
It’s not just words, it seems that there is some divine power mixed in between the petals that are sprinkled. I felt my condition lighten up a bit.
“Damian, you’re really the only one… !”
Unknowingly, I was so moved that I hugged Damian and pretended to cry. Damian struggled to let go, asking why he was doing this.
“I can’t sprinkle divine power, but I’ll give you health in a different way instead.”
Evangeline spoke triumphantly from the side.
I secretly wiped my snot on Damian’s shoulder and frowned. what. what else are you up to?
“Since it seems that you are almost healed now… It’s a morning workout every day!”
“Nooooo-!”
Unknowingly, I ended up spitting out a bitter cry of opposition. what a scary sound that is! I hate breakfast and I hate exercise, but combining the two!
“Are you the devil!”
“I’m your junior, but… . No, more than that, you really need to exercise.”
Evangeline and Damien ushered me to a table in the dining room. Lucas and Junior finished setting the table and were waiting for us.
“Good morning, lord.”
“Happy New Year, Your Highness!”
“Thank you everyone. Good luck.”
I guess I’ll have to take care of the new year’s money later… … no wait Then, shouldn’t we get three times the first before that?
I sat at the head of the table, and the party members also took their seats.
“You waited so long!”
Then Ader appeared, dragging a tray with a large pot on it.
Wearing oven mitts on both hands, Ader moved the pot away and set it on the table.
“In the new year too! It’s a hot meatball stew!”
When the lid was opened, the stew with pieces of meat, meatballs, and vegetables floating in the red broth spouted hot steam.
Ader scooped up the stew and handed us bowls. The stew was so hot that the bowl was hot right away.
“Hmm~! After all, you have to eat this on January 1st to feel like welcoming the new year, right?”
Evangeline’s shoulders trembled as she smelled the stew. what. So, is it like rice cake soup?
“You have to eat this to get another year older, right?”
“yes? What do you mean? I eat five bowls of this every year, so are you older than me?”
Earth-Evangeline, who did not understand Korea’s rice cake soup culture, widened her eyes and was stunned.
It’s a joke, so don’t take it too seriously… … .
“… Do you eat five more bowls than that?”
“The highest is eight bowls. Whooping!”
No, what are you proud of?
Then Lucas, who had been listening by the side, spat out softly.
“Ten bowls.”
“Haha? What do you say, mister?”
“This body. best record. Ten bowls.”
Lucas, who smiled triumphantly, smiled proudly. Evangeline’s fanged mouth quivered in irritation.
“I am growing every year. As you grow taller, your stomach will grow bigger too! Then I’ll lower your records by a long way!”
“But now you are small and your stomach is small. Eight bowls is your limit.”
“Ei-i-i-ik! great. Let’s compete for supremacy! Come on!”
“Can you follow me, kid… !”
The two knights started blowing whoo competitively to cool the hot stew.
Evangeline even scooped the stew into the second bowl with a ladle, probably to cool the next bowl beforehand.
As I watched this, I couldn’t stand it and cried out.
“Eat in moderation from New Year’s morning! You piglets!”
If you guys eat all of it, what will we eat! Eh!
