44. A young lion dreams (1)
“So?”
“I am a performer in a play. There is a being called a demon. God is great. So much so that one of his servants, an angel, could destroy the entire human race. Why did such a god favor humans and create demons? The land where the demons live now was originally the land where the wizards of the Silver Age lived. Why are they abandoning that place and creating the Joseon Continent in the sky
to raise humans who have degenerated their civilization?”
“The term ‘rearing’ is a bit harsh.”
“I heard that the Age of Gold was in the 70th century.”
” that’s right.”
“During the 70th century, humans advanced to the point where they ventured into the sea of stars? But why has the 666th century on the Joseon continent been stagnant?”
“I guess I forgot my passion for improvement.”
“Or maybe the angels castrated him. “Cut off this place.”
The place where
Deus’s fingers made a scissor shape and cut was not between the groins, but above the head.
“Magic is difficult. I don’t even know how to make synthetic water. Even dwarves who claim to have advanced technology can only hit armor with a hammer at best. The Jose continent is being reset periodically. So that you can’t grow.”
“It’s a fun imagination.”
“Is that really the case? “Isn’t the important trigger for that reset none other than us demons?” “Have I
not been cured of my adolescent megalomania ?
“I feel like the reason God created us demons and left them as they are, and the biggest reason why they attack humans once every 100 years, is to prevent human development?”
“Yeah, it’s fun.”
“Is it supposed to come out like that?”
“Then what should I answer? that’s right! Your megalomania is actually reality! The Seven Dukes are actually angels. Because they are manipulating the devil to control humans. “What else could there be?”
“After all, those bastards were God’s spies! “When Alex comes back, I’m
going to beat him up.”
“God does not intervene in the world in such detail. He embraces all life with loving kindness. Demons are also a lovely life to him. So, you sent our dragon people. “Now the demons are at a disadvantage compared to humans.”
It seemed like it was Yulgeum’s turn to strike back.
“Besides, think about it. Your first premise is that God favors humans, but why does that have to do with emasculating human growth? “Isn’t it better to help them grow on the right path again?”
“ That••••••
“I don’t know what God had in mind when designing this world. Just do as you are commanded. That guess may or may not be correct. But even if that were the case, what? Are you going to quit being a demon? The end of the world is coming? “What is your basis for saying that?”
“Because this planet has been purified. “Because there is no longer a need to confine humans to the continent of Jose.”
“So you’re going to destroy the demons? “If he were the person I know, wouldn’t he send an ark and move humans to a place like this
?”
“What about the rest who are not saved?”
“You can live there. “Anyway, it’s too much of a leap.”
Deus scratched his head.
“My assumption seems quite plausible.”
Zeke and Alex, who had gone hunting in the distance, were seen returning.
A huge piece of meat was being dragged across the floor.
Looking at the size of the flesh, it seemed to be a mutated wild boar strain.
Zeke, who was riding a horse, waved his hand loudly.
Deus smiled at him.
My mouth was already watering at the thought of eating the dish Zeke made.
Deus took the first step to greet Zeke.
Yulgeum stopped in place, pretending to organize documents, and looked at Deus’s back.
The end of the world is approaching.
Can you really refute that statement?
I wasn’t confident.
Yulgeum turned his eyes to the sky.
How will God design the world again?
We will only find out after the end of this world has passed.
A mobilization order was issued around the world in the name of Seonghwangcheong.
Each country was requested to send troops.
The maximum possible number of knights, soldiers, and slaves was requested.
A huge cave leading underground opens its devil-like mouth.
One after another, barracks were built on the wide plain in front of them.
From Gelon on the eastern end, to Derux on the western end, to Isolta on the north, and on to the Federation of Erion on the south.
Pure-blooded warriors and half-bloods began to march toward the entrance to the demon world south of Derux like a cloud.
Private armies were mobilized where the family was capable, and poor warriors were assigned to the armies of powerful warriors.
The war, which occurs once every 100 years, has been delayed by 10 years. The preparation could not be said to be perfect.
However, the morale of the human army was by no means low.
Above all, there was angelic protection.
Where the army was staying, a group of lights resembling the light of the sun were floating in the sky.
Although it was not in the form of a human with wings, the light was clearly an angel.
In accordance with the mobilization order of the Holy Emperor, famous knights from each country gathered at the entrance to the Demon World.
In the center of the kingdom of Delux, there was a pit that was the entrance to the demon world.
The knight division that guarded the place, called Pit,
was the pride of Deluxe.
The knights called the Pit Guardians used huge shields and cross-shaped axes as weapons.
The northwest part of the Joseon continent was shaped like a horse’s head.
The name of the kingdom that rules that land is Isolta.
The Kingdom of Isolta has been famous for its horse ranches since ancient times. The representative knight corps was also a cavalry corps called the Eight Legged Riders
.
In Verde, a large country in the center where Seonghwangcheong was located, there was a White Dragon Knight. When knights armed with heavy armor advanced in close formation, even the Minotaurs of the Demon World were scared.
Gelon, the eastern kingdom where Zoryx Castle is located, has traditionally had frequent conflicts with giants.
As a result, it was natural that the name of the representative cavalry division included giant.
The Legion of Giant
Slayer were knights who wielded huge spears as tall as a man
.
Lastly, the Erion Federation in the southeast was, as its name suggests, a federal nation divided into numerous small countries, but it had a representative knighthood.
The Bluewhale Warriors
are a united knighthood formed by knights drawn from small countries in the Federation.
The Blue Whale Warriors, who train together for a month every year and work together, have always achieved remarkable results in war even though they are a combined knighthood.
If the knights are the pride of the kingdom, then the warriors
are the pride of mankind.
All warriors are descended from one family called Hollywoods.
The forest was divided into numerous trees from one clump and each took root in the ground, forming its own forest.
From grade D to contract grade. They were divided according to skill and pureblood, but their hearts were one.
Protect humanity from the hands of demons.
The warrior families with whom they usually interacted drank lavishly at the entrance to the demon world.
Even though they weren’t very close, Class D
continued to interact with Class D and Class B interacted with Class B.
In particular, most warrior families married into warrior families. It was to increase the degree of pure blood.
As warriors from all over the world gathered in one place, many marriage talks were taking place.
It was rare for marriage talks to transcend class levels.
Vertical hierarchies will create a solid wall, at least until this war is over.
At the top of those warriors
was Joe Deak Knight.
The barracks with the Lion’s flag fluttering caught everyone’s eye.
The family name is Holly Bitch.
Until the previous generation, the family was so poor that it received provincial status.
But now, he was becoming famous in a completely different way.
Regin van Hollybitch was a warrior with 10% pure blood.
He, who was already using an aura, received the angel’s protection and his abilities blossomed to a tremendous extent.
Two days ago, when I used my sword against the mugwort
monster that was disturbing the surrounding area, the aura that emitted from my body spread out like huge wings.
The width was over 20 meters, so it seemed as if an angel had descended.
Now that we have confirmed the name and reality, numerous families have coveted the Holly Jade family.
Only fifteen. There were more than one family of warriors who wanted Regin, whose wife had not yet been decided, as their son-in-law.
After dealing with the annoying guest for some time, a difficult guest came to the barracks.
Cardinal Le Sulet personally came to visit
.
He was the most influential among the candidates for the next great succession, and was able to recruit archbishops with his outstanding political power.
“Regin, it seems your reputation has already surpassed that of your brother.”
“That is an overstatement.”
“No, no, that’s not excessive praise. I have met your brother and you several times. “If he is a country bumpkin who suddenly becomes successful, then you are like a descendant of a famous family.”
Regin’s expression hardened without realizing it at the cardinal’s words.
Always compared. And he always praised
himself .
But even the nobleman felt this way about Regin.
10 years have passed… but
people still remember my brother.
It was that shocking. His existence.
“by the way. The Rodemmok Staff of Destruction will soon arrive.”
“ah! “It looks like Lexia has left the territory.”
“Do you understand how surprised Seonghwangcheong was when he first received the oracle?”
“Pureblood status has changed, right?”
“I see. The measured value again was 10.0, the same as yours. The Holyoke family’s level has now risen to D level. “Immediately after the oracle, I invited her to be a member of the last warrior’s party.”
Regin nodded slowly.
You can’t fight against the devil alone.
At least the saintess must reach the level of the final hero party.
I haven’t confirmed Lexia’s skills yet, but I’m sure she
will at least exceed the standard given by the oracle.
“It’s a time when everything is confusing. “The prophets speak of these times as times of chaos, and now I understand what they mean.”
“Don’t worry. “After the chaos, order will definitely come.”
“It’s the age of order! “God likes order.”
Cardinal Le Sulet smiled meaningfully.
“Regin-kun.”
“Yes, Cardinal.”
“This is a personal question.”
“Please speak comfortably.”
“Why not create descendants before the war begins?”
Regin’s expression froze in surprise.
“ That••••••
“I know you’re still a little young to get married. Aren’t you a warrior? Hasn’t the Holly Beach family fallen and you can barely keep in touch with your relatives? If you don’t come back from the war… don’t be offended. “Hmm, if you don’t come back, won’t the family line be cut off?”
“I…
“I know that you are being harassed by Her Majesty the Queen, but that is another story.”
“Your Majesty is not one to harass anyone.”
“is it? Anyway, he came with a woman from the Holly Spindle family. “I would like to introduce you to her.”
The tone of voice seemed to politely ask for the intention, but it was closer to an order.
If you were stupid enough to not know that, Regin would have been dead long ago.
“I will follow your word and meet again
.”
Cardinal Le Sulet laughed.
“Regin, you have a good mind. “The other knights of Askaron are all fools who know nothing but fighting.”
