322. Whose side are you on? (3)
Feeling that the situation is unfavorable, the demons who have left their bodies gather at a pre-arranged meeting place, and the corps commanders who were fighting with them chase after them.
The meeting place is right near where Deonhardt is fighting. Those who defined Deon Hardt as enemies and those who followed him were all gathered in one place.
The first to arrive were those in charge of Rweche Castle.
Devellania frowned when she realized that no one had come yet, even though she had run all the way here. The guys chasing me are getting closer, but nothing has changed except the location.
My battle-hardened head creaked as I assumed the worst possible situation.
‘…Is this why you just jumped in where Deonhardt is?’
It wouldn’t be a bad idea to storm into Deonhardt’s battle with persistent leeches and make a mess of everything.
It was a thought that came to mind out of anger, but it was more interesting than expected and Develania’s eyes lit up.
‘Yes, if you can’t completely control the game and the situation is unfavorable, it would be okay to make a complete mess so that nothing can be predicted.’
You’ll have to rely on luck, but since no one can play with the board, it’s more fair than anything else.
The worry was short-lived. She takes a step forward without hesitation, attracted by the charm of the immediate damn situation and the unknown direction that will unfold as she enters the battle. The destination is where Deon Hart is.
However, I had to stop again soon after.
“I’m sorry, Commander 2nd Corps. “Master Deon ordered that no one be allowed in.”
“Allies too?”
“Yes, you said it was disturbing.”
Hmm. His narrowed gaze filled with dissatisfaction scanned the 0 Corps members blocking his path.
Soon the 11th Corps and the 3rd and 4th Corps will arrive. The battle will begin again and they will realize that I am the enemy.
‘…Should I just kill him when he’s off guard?’
The naturally drooping fingertips were twitching as if they could not be seen.
…But if time is delayed during the battle, the pursuers will quickly catch up with you. Here, the cooperation of Corps 0 members was needed.
I hid my impatience and lightly shrugged my shoulders.
“Isn’t it normal to let in common sense if it’s an ally? Master Deon said it would be a hindrance, but there is no way that the 2nd Legion, not just some other idiot, would be a hindrance.”
“….”
“Right now, Deon is fighting against so many heroes alone.”
“…not alone.”
“Yes, you probably brought in ordinary soldiers. However, they are not heroes but ordinary humans, Primiro, to deal with the knights, so in the end, Deon will be in charge of all the heroes alone.”
Of course, I found out the information I just told you about myself.
The words of the 2nd Corps commander in charge of information collection could not have been wrong. The eyes of the 0 Corps members wavered slightly at the added remark.
“…But this is Master Deon’s order.”
“…It’s frustrating. Don’t you know what’s in it for you, Deon? “Would you feel better if you reached a point where you couldn’t turn back and had to regret it?”
Their shoulders shrank at the nervous voice.
Devellania’s expression slightly relaxed and she whispered in a slightly softer voice. A voice that seemed to soothe a child came out with sharp content.
“If you’re worried about getting scolded, that’s okay. Deon doesn’t care about you and will forget about you when it’s over.”
In the first place, both the humans and demons that were to be scolded died, so there would be no need to be scolded. He swallowed his words with a sneer and stared at them as if demanding an answer.
“….”
Deon Hardt is not interested in Legion 0 members. The only object of his interest is the Lofty Knights. Although there was no way they were unaware of this fact, the eyes of the 0 Corps members lowered as if they were hurt when it was brought up in front of their eyes.
After compiling themselves for a moment, the guys raise their eyes again and look at the other person. Surprisingly hard eyes dared to look directly at the corps commander.
“We just follow orders.”
Even if Deon doesn’t care about us. So even if you forget the current command.
Still, we must fulfill our duties. Because Legion 0 is a legion that follows Deon Hart, not Dvelania. Therefore, Deonhardt’s orders take precedence over her words.
“…Mr. Deon is very happy.”
It’s really funny that it’s a personal blessing that only you know about.
Devellania, reading the unchanging determination in her eyes, burst into laughter.
“Why do you follow Deon so much in the first place? “He’s a person who doesn’t even care about you.”
“….”
“Well… okay. It looks like they are planning to stop it even if it means fighting, but there is nothing they can do.”
As she shows signs of backing down, the tension of the 0 Corps members who were standing close behind eases a little. Without missing the opportunity, Develania moved her fingers.
“Then die.”
Sharp threads swung at their necks.
Kagak! Sparks flew in the air.
“…this.”
Has it already arrived?
The transparent shield that blocked the attack disappeared as if melting, and the 0 Corps members, realizing that they almost died one step too late, looked shocked but prepared for battle. Devellania glanced at them and turned her head without hesitation, as if wondering when she had planned to kill them. At the end of the line of sight, the 11th Corps and the 3rd and 4th Corps had arrived.
As I raised my gaze a little more, I made eye contact with Lirinel.
“I wish it had been a little later, but it’s a shame.”
“What did you just… do?”
“What are you doing? “If you had eyes, you wouldn’t know.”
“Develania….”
A low voice calling the name, as if sad or angry.
Lirinel, who had a clouded expression on her face without knowing what emotion she was feeling, soon glared at Develania with a hard face.
“They are Deon’s subordinates. “I won’t let you mess with it.”
The determined eyes that rolled around took in Idelia nearby.
“That one too.”
“That’s a cute warning.”
Idelia, who had been watching the situation with interest, narrowed her eyes. The wide open fan covered the lower part of the crown.
“But will you be okay alone?”
I think more guys are coming.
The earth rumbles and demons come running from one side. Then, demons began to flock from other directions.
Idelia frowned slightly when she saw the 8th and 12th Legions standing at the head of each group.
“They are people who went to the mountains on one side and the empire on the other. Who is the enemy and who is the friend…”
It seems that the enemy and enemy are unclear in the same way over there. The demons who arrived here confirm the presence of those who went to the other castle, stop, and form a strange standoff.
10 Silua, the commander of the 7th Corps, who arrived in pursuit of the 1st Corps chasing the 12th Corps, glanced over the situation and tilted his head.
“What is this? Is there a fight on the other side too? “Who is on whose side?”
“…I know. “Who is on whose side?”
Let’s check it out now that everyone is gathered.
First of all, the 7th Corps commander spoke first. He pointed at Silua with the end of his folded fan.
“Let’s find out about you first. Silua, whose side are you on? Demon King? Deon Hart? Or… the one who defines both of them as enemies?”
“Of course you’re the Demon King, aren’t you? “Even if that’s the case on Deon’s side, what’s the final point?”
“There’s a guy here who belongs to the last group.”
“….”
All the demons here clearly saw Idelia looking back at the 2nd Corps Commander Develania. It was such a blatant movement that I couldn’t have noticed it.
Each corps commander was quick to grasp the situation.
‘The situation is now divided into Deon’s side, the Demon King’s side, and the 3rd force. The 7th Legion is on the Demon King’s side, and the 2nd Legion is the 3rd force.’
And in the words of Idelia, who referred to Deon as ‘Deon Hart’, those who defined the 4th Legion as being on the Demon King’s side divided each of them into enemies and allies in their heads.
Even though the attention was so intense that it felt burdensome to me, a somewhat unfamiliar ‘third force,’ De’Bellania just smiled.
“Do we really need to know who is on whose side? “Our side knows everything, so it’s more beneficial to fight like this.”
“no. D’Vellania You will have to cooperate. I know which army the ‘Third Force’ is. “If I only point out the third force here, wouldn’t they naturally be the first to be excluded?”
If there are people who are clearly enemies among those who are unclear as to whether they are enemies or allies, it is natural to attack them first.
“…How do you know and be sure who the third force is? “If you get it wrong, you’ll be in quite a bit of trouble.”
Idelia smiled leisurely.
“Then shall I tell you something? To be honest, I think everyone knows without me having to say it. Just like you, the 8th, 10th, and 12th Corps, who came all the way here, are probably on the same side.”
“….”
“It’s obvious that we gathered here because something was promised.”
I did a good job of handling eye contact when I said I knew who was on our side, but I gave away too many clues before that.
“…well.”
It has become a public enemy. Although she seemed anxious, Develania maintained her composure and smiled meaningfully.
“There may be more than the legion you mentioned.”
“…Ugh!”
She, who had made each other suspicious with her leisurely remarks, lunged at Idelia as if not giving her a chance to say more.
Idelia, who jumped into the air to avoid the low, fast approaching thread like a snake, thought as she sprinkled hidden memorization on her fan.
‘The Demon Lord’s side, Deonhardt’s side, and the Third Force are all perfect enemies with no room for alliance.’
From the Demon Lord’s point of view, both are traitors, and considering Deonhardt’s recent actions, for those on his side, all demons themselves will be enemies. Needless to say, the third force’s goal from the beginning is to kill both the Demon King and the Hero.
In other words, it is a perfect 1:1:1 situation.
‘Understanding our allies comes first.’
I used my brain to pick out my allies.
First of all, the 3rd corps is of course on the Demon King’s side, so our side becomes the 3rd and 7th corps. If you include the 4th corps that I lead, there will be 3, 4, 7 corps.
Aside from those whose factions are roughly known, the most ambiguous ones are…
“…Belitan Trover!”
I called the 6th and 9th Corps commanders, who still looked confused.
“Whose side are you on?!”
“Of course it is the Demon King. “Isn’t that normal?”
“What about you, Trover?”
“Me too, of course…”
Trover, who was about to answer Demon King as if it were obvious after Belitan, stopped.
As it happened, a contract that I had completely forgotten about was now making its presence felt.
“….”
“Trover?”
“I…”
[No other than that, I wanted to demand compensation for the bet at that time, so I called Trover at the risk of being rude.]
[What do you want? If you ask me to take it out…]
[Please be on Deon Hardt’s side.]
The conversation I had with Dan in the past quickly passes through my mind.
Trover clearly remembered what he answered at this time.
[…good! I will make sure to be on Deon’s side!]
The contract sends a signal to fulfill the promise. The careless promises I made in the past had become shackles and shook my heart, as if it could take away the magic that made up my body at any moment.
…Damn it! Trover gritted his teeth.
“…Deon’s side.”
