270. Hero Hunt (4)
What was his name?
Ah, haven’t you heard the names of the demon generals themselves?
…Well, that’s not important right now.
“There. Yes, you.”
“Oh yes! Please speak!”
“You don’t fight.”
“yes…?”
The demon general’s expression became blank for a moment at the perplexing and unexpected command.
“Don’t fight, but call out some of your troops… Okay, you can just take about 15 of the demons over there right now. And then go wander around this castle.”
“What I’m telling you is to run
around…” “This means destroying everything that appears to be Jin’s main axis. Your mission is to destroy the magic-suppressing Jin. It’s not difficult, and like I just said, you just have to touch and destroy everything you see.”
Magic cannot be used in the castle. This is all because of the magic suppression factor. If you just find the main axis and break it, things will go smoothly.
‘Finding it itself is a problem.’
Since it has been maintained for a long time, it would not have been made up of something as flimsy as a roadside stone.
Actually, I’m guessing it might be a ‘wall’…
‘If it’s really a wall, there’s nothing we can do about it, but you never know… It’s better than not trying at all.’
That’s why I told them to select only a few people. So as not to run out of power too much.
‘It’s good if you really find the main axis and destroy it. If not, it’s unfortunate, but there’s nothing you can do.’
As if he understood the command, an exclamation mark appeared above his head. The guy who immediately lowered his head selected some of the demon soldiers he could see and moved.
Deon looked back at the other general nearby.
“Except for the Lofty Knights, all remaining forces should take charge of the imperial army in the rear.”
“All right.”
“And…”
He cast his gaze at the crazy dogs who were quietly waiting for orders.
“You will penetrate the front lines with me.”
It would be a waste of time and troops to get here to leave like this. Anyway, it would be faster and more effective to force almost all of them in and break through this area.
I would like to rush all the demons in here and break through them quickly without bothering to go out directly, but that doesn’t mean I can just leave the healthy enemy behind me defenseless. At first glance, it looks like the Empire’s troops are larger and stronger than those of the Shan State, but you can’t just fight them with a small number of people.
‘Above all, because it is an ’empire’ and not any other country.’
I quenched my appetite with regret and looked at the troops on the Sanguo side again.
I don’t know when I started running so excitedly, but I can see the crazy dogs fighting. Deon chuckled and raised his spear. I felt Dan looking at me from next to me, but I ignored it and pulled my arms back as far as I could.
Whoosh! The fiercely flying spear passed Milan, whose movements were stiff due to his wounds, and pierced a soldier on the Shanguo side. Milan, startled, looked back.
“Captain! Are you planning to kill me?!”
“No way.”
The bright red eyes were slightly bent.
It’s a bit more comfortable now that my hands are lighter. Of course, I don’t like windows because they are not very portable.
With this, Deon, who had thrown away the last remaining spear without any hesitation, looked around. It is felt that each of the soldiers of the Mountain Country who made eye contact are nervous, such as swallowing dry saliva or being frightened. He smiled proudly at him.
‘Yes, the only reason I was able to hold out until help came was because I didn’t step forward.’
It’s natural to be nervous.
‘The opponent was bad.’
I thought as I took a step forward, grabbed the weapon of the guy who was running at me like a moth to fire, and pulled him towards me.
The choice made by the King of the Mountain Kingdom was not bad, but the opponent was bad.
I lightly broke the neck of the guy who came with me. An eerie crackling sound rings out, and the enemies who hear the sound become greatly agitated and stiffen their bodies. Dan, who had tried to take care of it before it reached Deon, looked helpless.
Deon said, shaking his hands as if to get rid of the unpleasant feeling of his grip.
“Then let’s finish it quickly.”
Dan, who was standing nearby for protection, suddenly jumps into the battlefield.
Deon also took out his dagger and leisurely stepped into the confusion.
There was nothing to explain after that.
What more do I need to say when the soldiers on the Shanguo side are falling as helpless as autumn leaves? A detailed description of the situation would have been possible only if there was someone who could withstand at least one attack from Deonhardt, but since every move he made was killed, all I could say was ‘overwhelming’.
Dan, who had stopped fighting before he knew it, let out a laugh.
‘If it’s going to be like this, why did you bring us here?…’
Oh, you weren’t planning on bringing us here originally? It was worth it. The crazy dogs that followed did something useless.
The situation has reached a point where the king of the Mountain Kingdom is visible. His expression was strangely calm, considering that the wall of soldiers had disappeared and he was exposed to the enemy’s view.
‘…The look in his eyes is annoying…’
His eyes look like he’s crouching down and looking for an opportunity. It is very suspicious that the king did not evacuate first and was left in such an exposed place. There must be something hidden. Dan’s eyes narrowed.
Moreover, if you look closely, the woman next to you also has an unusual look in her eyes. From the looks of it, he looks like a staff member, but the eyes that look at Deon Hart are full of deep, dark murderous intent and low-level joy. It’s like the look in the eyes of someone who is about to win money by playing with his hands at a gambling table…
“…Master!”
When his thoughts reached that point, Dan urgently called his superior who was far away. I don’t think this is a matter that even a hero can watch with ease. Even after seeing the power of the warrior, the look in his eyes shows that he is confident enough. In that situation, I went too far alone!
It was almost at the same time that Dan’s cry reached Deonhardt, the ‘heroes’ came out from around the King of the Mountain Country and launched an attack, and a loud cry rang out from the walls surrounding the castle.
“Children of Leweche! There are sacrifices suitable for meritorious deeds over there! Go! Those who merit merit will be rewarded greatly!”
“To turn your life around!!”
Why is Rweche here again…! No, the attackers who showed unusual movements before that looked familiar. Aren’t they the ‘Nameless Knights’? Are there still any left?
There are so many big things happening at the same time that I don’t know which one to prioritize. Dan, who was confused for a moment, quickly came to his senses and ran to his superior first.
Deon Hardt had already been surrounded by quick mad dogs.
“Mas…”
“Captain!! Are you okay?!”
“Oh, it’s okay.”
As soon as I heard Dan’s cry, I sensed something was wrong and pulled away, so all I got was a few scratches on my neck and cheek.
Deon spoke calmly, wiping his completely healed cheek with only a trace of blood with the back of his hand.
“Stay back from that. Those guys are ‘heroes’.”
Cruel Hart’s name was last listed as the official hero of the Empire, and since there are no more newly recognized heroes, he may be more accurately a ‘hero candidate’. The official heroes are all in shambles, so what does that distinction have to do with it now?
Rweche’s soldiers poured down from the castle walls and the ‘heroes’ who attacked while hiding. When Rweche appeared, Deon vaguely remembered the laughter in his voice muttering, ‘He acted like he wasn’t coming, but he just acted like he wasn’t coming,’ and laughed coldly.
“The King of the Mountain Country is so bold to offer himself up as bait.”
As if that wasn’t enough, I never thought I’d prepare a second hand like this.
The castle wall has already been swept once from this side. There is no reason for either the Demon World side or the Sanguo side to defend the walls any longer. So of course I left it alone.
If I had known that reinforcements from another mountain country would cross the walls, I would not have done so.
Leweche’s soldiers pour down from the castle walls. That sight was enough to raise the morale of the humans and pour cold water on the spirits of the demons, who were already faltering. Deon glanced at the faltering demons and frowned as he recalled the name of the opposing kingdom.
‘Rweche… In the end, this is how he hits me in the back…’
Ha. A laugh came out.
“These bastards.”
The reason why the Demon World has not touched Rweche until now is because it did not resist the Demon King’s army. To break that implicit promise at this perfect time.
‘Yes, that’s how I want to die.’
My head gets hot. The complicated situation was enough to make my eyes spin, but unlike the burning eyes, the voice that came out was too plain.
“However, I’m just asking just in case… Isn’t there a spare communication seat or something?”
“Your master didn’t already have one… Oh, it’s broken.”
“Doesn’t the guy assisting me have a spare communication seat? I’ll have to tell Ed later.”
“Ah… that’s a bit…”
I ignored the hesitant reaction and went back to the initial topic.
“Then, let’s go to Ben. He’s the doctor, so he’ll definitely have an emergency communication seat. As for the location… Except for here, he’ll be in the place where the most noisy demons are, so it won’t be difficult to find. Ah, what kind of berserker is there? “There may be one, but it’s Ben, so don’t pass it off as a mistake.”
“….”
Dan, who kept opening and closing his mouth as if he wanted to argue, soon rolled his eyes as if he chose to just ignore it.
“…Can I just go and borrow a communication seat? If you calculate the time it takes to find and return time…” “
No, contact Ed right then and there. I will lead the 0 Corps right now and use the border of the Taehon Kingdom. So, attack Rweche.”
Considering the number and quality of troops who came here, Rweche is probably close to an empty house right now. Perhaps the first country to collapse will be Rweche, not Sanguk.
The Taehon Kingdom, known as a vassal state of Rweche, has been carefully contacting me in the past saying that it will join this side, so I will obediently allow the use of the border, and the 0 Corps is under my direct control, so there will be no backlash even if I use it as I please without complicated procedures. It’s a sudden order, but there’s no problem.
“All right.”
Dan lightly agrees to the neat command and walks away.
I’m a little worried that I might get hit by a blind weapon, but I’m not asking to fight against someone, I’m just asking to find a demon, so I guess I can’t even do that. Deon coolly looked away and twirled the dagger in his hand.
“let’s go.”
“Everything for survival.”
Even though no command or explanation was added, a consistent response came back as if he had read my mind.
Although his subsequent actions were slightly different.
─Hot!
“!?”
The murderous knights who suddenly picked up Deon began to leave this place. Deon, embarrassed, struggled.
“What are you doing, you bastards!”
“It’s for survival, right?”
“If you fight here, there’s a high chance you’ll die!”
“I understand that you’re so upset right now that you can’t see anything, but let’s at least change seats!”
“Let the captain just take a look!”
“Let’s take a look! Let’s take a look!”
Fighting here, where enemies are swarming, is suicidal.
At first glance, it appears that he calmly judges the situation and gives orders, but the members of the Lofty Knights who have been with him for a long time knew. That’s really pissed off.
As expected, he took the minimum action with the command he gave while pretending to be calm and cleared away the obstacles, and now his eyes are shining as if he is about to go on a rampage. At that moment, the knights exchanged glances with each other. Even though we were bickering tirelessly, at this moment, we all felt the same way.
‘Let’s pick it up and bounce!’
