Dragon Poor

182. Land of the Demon King (2)

The central kingdoms that had been gazing at the western shore had begun to move across the river.

He organized small scouts to recognize the swift cavalry and searchers, and had them investigate the situation in the west. Three days later, four days later, ten days later.

No matter how long we waited, none of them returned to the west.

The group has been re-elected.

The search party included more capable men than those who first headed west. Among them were knights and wizards who could be called the fireworks of the kingdom.

Even minor wizards and planners were superhumans.

Everyone believed that they would return with answers about the whereabouts of the missing scouts and the situation in the west.

But it didn't take long for that belief to break.

The wizards who took the most expensive contact seats ended up being disconnected after sending over a magical message that they had arrived in the west.

I lost my precious superhuman power for nothing, but I didn't lose my income at all.

[Drahon was right.]

One of the last missing search parties sent a brief expertise, but enough for the kingdoms of the east and central to recognize the seriousness of the situation.

“Why hasn't the situation in the west been known until now! ”

“Are the kingdoms of the Middle East, which border the West, reliable? If they had not devised and deceived, the situation in the West would not have been known so far. ”

The Eastern kingdoms were strongly denounced by the central kingdoms and forced to take more active patrols. Several aggressive kingdoms even marched on the border to protest.

“The kingdoms of the Middle Kingdom prove themselves innocent! ”

The central kingdoms that had been passively scouting to clear out the horses that had infiltrated the eastern kingdoms were unable to overcome the pressures of the eastern kingdoms and finally decided to dispatch an army.

Soon, a large expedition, composed of large cavalry and military-sized infantry, crossed the border to the west of the continent.

And they have finally reached the Land of the Dead, which Dragons spoke of.

“This is ridiculous.... ”

Soldiers were terrified when they saw the gloomy sky, and were completely overwhelmed by the unclean energy that was rising from the Smell.

“Moving forward. We can't rule out the entire Western Kingdom as fallen by such circumstance. ”

The commanders continue their march by encouraging the terrified soldiers.

The journey to the west was not easy.

Soldiers who drank contaminated river water suffered from an unknown disease, and the healthy started to develop photophobia from nightmares every night.

But the commanders continued on.

And I was finally able to reach the point where it was the main node of the Western kingdoms.

“Ah…. ”

Fallen fortresses, ruined cities, empty barracks, and no one was found anywhere.

As if evaporation had happened, the commanders of the expedition thought for a moment. Whether to find the whereabouts of the missing people, satisfied with achieving the calling objective, and conflicted with whether to bite the army.

But the answer was already out.

An unknown illness in the lack of drinking water, and a group of phototoxic soldiers, more troops, were flocked. With this much information, they masqueraded as a result and turned the military's head.

“I'm going back.”

The carefully chosen commanders of the central kingdoms did not forget that those who departed first were missing, and turned their heads.

The way home was not easy. The exhausted soldiers' footsteps were only heavy, and the military was about to collapse due to photophobia.

They desperately wanted to escape the west, which became the land of the dead, even for a day.

But the real hell was just the beginning.

What they realized was that at the end of the day, they decided to return.

The first to be sacrificed were the soldiers who were running exhausted and stumbling.

“Hmm?"

Hundreds of thousands of hands protrude from beneath the ground abruptly grabbed the soldiers' ankles.

“Grr!”

Suddenly, the formation became a mess. And something reeks of the fallen soldiers mixed up in such a mess.

“Sa, help me! ”

Screams erupt from everywhere. Something unidentified attacked the soldiers, grumbling and tearing them apart.

gruuurrgghhh

Those that protruded from the black soil were surprisingly human in appearance. Only half rotten flesh and long green fingernails differed from that of man.

The commanders and wizards who confirm the attackers' identities are pale of zinc.

“Uh, Undead.... ”

Finally, they found out where the missing Westerners were headed. And the price was the blood and flesh of thousands of soldiers.

“Find a place where the floors are hard and get in line! ”

The wise and experienced commanders acted to find the best answer, and the wizards and knights did what they had to do.

They find the undead tangled with the soldiers and destroy them all. Their actions were surprising, as were the so-called generalizations of the kingdom's power.

The undead burn and are slain by the sword.

Time has only cleared up the chaos. But even when I did my best, the casualties of the soldiers were overwhelming. In a short time, the number of infantry casualties was more than half of the troops. The cavalry also lost their horses, so the troops' combat strength decreases rapidly.

A vast army of undead and monsters has struck down such a weakened force.

But still, they did not give up hope. The superhumans are still intact, and the command hasn't lost their cool.

The hope was shattered about three days after I was on my way home.

A giant tentacle protruding from the ground crushes the wizards. The knights swiftly defeated the tentacle monster, but the wizards have already been spared.

The knights who lost their Wizards' aides have crushed themselves to their limit.

“Even the lords need to go back alive and tell this. ”

The commanders have made their decision. They decided that even the weary knights were going to be sacrificed, and they pulled them out of the herd and brought them back home with the cavalry.

Within a day, the last of the superhumans leave the base, the troops are wiped out.

Different locations, but the situation for the expedition was substantial.

“Soldiers' sacrifices cannot be in vain. ”

A small group of desperate fugitives rush towards the center. But even that wasn't easy.

The closer you get to the border, the stronger the enemy gets in their way. The knights have proven sufficiently full of why they are called superhumans. Nevertheless, it was impossible to escape Hell on their own strength.

In the end, the vast majority of the survivors were wiped out.

Only a few survivors who were fortunate enough to survive were able to see the blue sky again.

Nearly twenty thousand troops from the eight kingdoms that border the west, among which fewer than forty survived.

Even those who survived that came home soon after saving their lives, the wizards explained that their murders were addicted to Magi.

“I see the West fell into the Demon King's hands. ”

All the survivors are dead, but the western situation has made more detail known to the surrounding countries.

“This is no longer just about the western kingdoms. ”

“We will drive out the warheads that have infiltrated the kingdom with all our might, and seal them across borders. ”

The central kingdoms declared what was happening in the west a transcontinental matter and ordered the central kingdoms to gather their strength.

It was the moment the Federation of the Central Kingdoms was formed.

In response, the Eastern Kingdoms also announced that they would help the Central Kingdoms with the best support possible. After the West, we realized that if the Middle East can't be stopped, so can the East.

“I need the help of the Holy Church. ”

“Astoria still has a feud over domestic warfare up to this point. ”

The kingdoms recalled that those who worshipped distant old gods had finally won the battle against evil and unclean things, and strongly urged the rulers of Astoria to stop the power struggle and pay attention to the continent's problems.

Archbishop Astoria later realized the seriousness of the situation and formed a temporary alliance and concluded the struggle for power.

“Fighting the Demon King's army is also a fight with Magi. ”

“Those addicted to Margaery are either madmen who infiltrate the bone marrow and save, or bloodthirsty madmen. ”

The old records of the temple were released at once, and it was known that the West was torn down not by the Demon King's army, but by Margie herself.

“All it takes to resist Margaery and finally overcome her is faith in the holy God, and God's grace. ”

The Holy Church showed us that only divine power is the only way to drive out Magi. He proved that his insistence was true by sweeping away the horses that appeared in his country at once.

It was a natural order to be regarded as the sworn nation of the Central Kingdom.

“My faithful, devoted lifelong to the holy God. Today, I proclaim the temple, devote your lives and your deaths to the promised one. ”

The Holy Church, which was adopted as a blind man, declared the temple. The preaching of the temple was different, even though it used to claim the temple at the time when the beast caused the commotion.

It was an absolute order to summon the scattered priests from all over the continent, not a hollow cry for secularity.

The Temple of the Evil Demon King began with Baháh.

At that time, the kingdoms were enquiring about someone's whereabouts.

We move to the Iberian Union to inform the West of the situation and to direct ourselves to the west.

However, the last rumor of leaving Granado and heading west was never heard of Drahon.

“I wonder if you've been changed.... ”

A nobleman expressing a word indiscriminately, then startled by my grass, he shut his mouth. However, the one who shouldn't have listened the most heard it, because he couldn't pick up and put it in his mouth.

“Shut that mouth. ”

Ofelia, a regent who had been arranging meetings without a single expression, warned the mild-mouthed nobleman with an icy face.

“Punish me, I beg you, for I mocked you. ”

The nobleman, who had been contemplating the wrath of the regime before, fell down and begged for sin.

“He has won every difficult battle. He who doubts his innocence is like him who disregards the name of my tradition. ”

At the sound of Ofelia's icy voice, the nobles shut their mouths and bow their heads.

This regime has been difficult to deal with since news of the winner heading west into hell. Today, even a noble who was right was dizzy. If he opened his mouth carelessly, he would be struck by lightning.

As the nobles kept their mouths shut, a meeting organized to determine the size and item of the troops to support the central kingdoms was quickly missed.

“Phew.”

After the nobles left, Ophelia's face quickly sank into the depths.

“You promised me you'd be back soon. ”

Her powerless muttering hands hold a magical specialty that flew in a month ago.

[This is going to take some time.]

Ofelia sighs once more.

“Regent! ”

I sat alone, thinking about my lost pet, and suddenly I heard a loud voice.

“Speak.”

Once more, the masked servant opens the door and cries out in a cold voice.

“Word on the street is Drake has made his way west from Rhinepearl territory! ”
