Armed Summoners - Black Spears and the Brave Men of the Other World

Episode 300: The Tale of the Demon King (Previous)

In Fort Gallon, which was no longer turned into a mushroom shell, lay a deeper and heavier silence than the darkness before dawn.

End of summer. Though it's the bug beeping that sounds, it's not like scratching the silence. The voice of the worm, the grass, carried by the sound of the wind blowing through, is twitched, and the melodies of nature are played. The silence is there more like singing.

There is no one in Fort Gallon because the three thousand humans who followed Gray-Balzerg and occupied Fort Gallon with him went to the Dragon House with a view to the place of death. With that, both the people who looked after them and those who gathered in Gray's name returned to their original places. Their original horses are not on this occasion either. It was Gibelle who took out as many as three thousand horses, and the Demon King has no idea what they will do with the horses of the fierce General Gray.

Gray initially wanted Uberle to accept it as a replacement for Buhmatz, but Uberle turned it down. More than having an excellent military horse named Buhmatz, I just have trouble disposing of it even if I get a regular horse. Lluska's suggestion that we should feed on Buhmatz wasn't bad either, but it was something Uberle couldn't do if she liked Gray. Horses are horses. But I didn't want to do anything to kill Gray's beloved horse for no reason, and it didn't seem like it was against Gray's life to keep and kill him.

Cloudy weather is spreading overhead, and deep darkness lies so deep that you may even forget that it is in the narrow between night and morning. The light of the sun is far away, and even though it is not night, the dark shadows are trekking in our faces.

"How long have you been here?

Lyuska is the one who's been asking me in terrible terms. In the dark, her bright white hair and blue and white skin look slightly luminescent.

Lewdies. It is a kind of Imperial Demon (Ouma), a species that looked extremely close to man. If you hide your skin and hide your horns, you might mistake them for humans. Especially since she forms an eyeball in her eye hole, which is no longer the only red light characteristic of the Imperial Demon. I don't see why she wants to approach humans until then. At least, it's not Yubel's order. Because Yubel doesn't need language to interact with the Imperial Devil.

But every time I see her struggling to learn the common language, I think.

What is the difference between man and the Imperial Demon?

"I want to see his death"

When Yubel gave her heart, Lyuska tilted her little neck.

"General, die?

"Oh."

Nod, look back at the fort. The abandoned fort was a bustling castle of the fierce general until a short while ago. People admiring Gray had gathered and even formed small cities. It was probably only with the intervention from Gibelle that Grey-Berzerg's reputation was high enough to think that even if Gibelle did not assist him, he could have managed to do so for a while.

If he cared about it, it might not have been impossible to create his own country here either. Speaking of three thousand men, it's a small power. Speaking of which he makes a country. Gibbel would have spared no cooperation either. It's like creating a powerful buffer between Zalwarn and me. Moreover, Gray has his own forces of war and no military assistance is needed. Gibbel must have been cooperating with Gray because, for one thing, he also considered that possibility.

But he didn't try to be king.

His departure from Zalwarn is nothing but emotional. It wasn't the plan or the calculation that worked. My personal feelings couldn't forgive Zalwarn. That's just it. But it just meant that three thousand humans would follow suit and stick a blade in Zalwarn's throat.

As a result, Zalwarn was unable to move around freely and was ravaged by Gandia. Zalwarn seemed to have managed to repel the Gandhian army and seemed to have struck the hand he could, but Gandhian's power outweighed it. Gandia's army showed its opponents endless vertical activity against the dull Zalwarn, instantly dominating all four cities. It would be a hard decision not to get your hands on Smada or Reuben, which are of low strategic value. It may be Gandia's idea that wasted combat should be avoided as much as possible and that the depletion of combat power should be reduced to its limits.

Apparently, the Gandia army is on its way to the Dragon House right now. If the Gandian army dominates the capital of Zalwarn, for one thing this war will see an end. And it was Yubel's expectation that it would be. It should be an opponent for the Gandhian army to gain momentum and not enough to take a five-way defense team or anything. It would break through easily, avalanche into the dragon palace, and kick just 2,000 dragon-eyed troops.

(I don't have to be)

It doesn't have to be that much, it's not funny.

It's hard for Gandhia to lose to Zalwarn. No, as it stands, there is no such thing as losing. Even if we couldn't drop the capital, there's no way Zalwarn could reverse the formation with it. It's obvious to everyone that Gandhia is winning at the moment. Thinking about the loss of power, where Gandia pulled her hand, Zalwarn has no means to recover.

Zalwarn was not just deprived of a third of its original territory by Gandia. Gibbell is leaping in, trying to make a gap that Zalwarn is keeping an eye on Gandia. Perhaps both Fort Gallon, which became this empty castle, and Melis Ellis will fall into Gibbell's hands. Naturally, Gibbel knows when and when Gray will march to the Dragon House. We should assume that we are moving the army along with it, and it was no surprise that the Zibel army had already entered Zalwarn territory.

Nevertheless, it is hard to imagine that Gandhia would give up dragon house control so easily. Gandhia had long been an eyewitness to Zalwarn, and he believed that there would be no future for Gandhia unless he completely crushed Zalwarn. In fact, I guess you were right. Gandhia must have been buried in history if Zalwarn had forced him to go south early. It's not hard to imagine Zalwarn continuing to fight the fear of the South since he made Logner his country.

Yubel opened her hand, realizing that she was holding her fist at some point. Look down. There's blood seeping through your palms. I hear my nails ate in and tore my skin. I laugh bitterly in my chest. Just thinking about Gandhia is something you can't help but have an uncontrollable emotion erupt. The more I try to contain that emotion, the more impossibility comes up somewhere.

Gray just pointed me out, too. It is only natural that the conversation related to Zalwarn should raise the subject of Gandhia. In that case, it must be the manifestation of the fact that Yubel is still dominated by humane emotions that make her eye-catching.

Gray was a man of no abomination. He treated and behaved like any other human being, both to the Demon King and to the feared Uberle and to Lüska, the Imperial Demon. Sometimes about Kruselk, he wasn't able to visit Fort Gallon so often, but every time he did, he had a little conversation, so that Yubel could know he would be one of them.

I also learned in conversation with him why he flipped an anti-flag on Zalwarn. Gray told me all about herself. I guess I was setting my own deadline. Maybe that's why I wanted to leave someone telling me everything about me. Whether or not that opponent was lucky to have been Uberle.

Yubel couldn't talk about herself. That was all I had left to worry about.

He will die.

To die, he drove Buhmatz to the Dragon House. Not to survive. Not even for the future.

Just to die, he jumped out.
