00109 Cursed One Digs Two Graves

The case goes back half a year.

The Mark of the Demon King was found on the corpse of the Adventure Captain Reef. In response, Dantalian and Lapis entered the Marathon meeting. The Demon King and the Half-Secuvus have agreed that we must somehow weaken all forces that are hostile and also potentially hostile to them.

The two of them spoke together in the Magic Chamber at the ceiling of the cave.

“We don't know if Belial really sponsored the Reef, or if Pymon's bald head was playing a prank. In the worst case, it could be Pymon himself. ”

“That's a good point. ”

Laffith tunes in with a expressionless expression.

“Above all, Dantalian has become more conspicuous than necessary. The Demon King killed the Demon King himself for the first time in history....... Anyone can make a fuss about Dantalian. ”

“We need to turn the eyes of the Demon Kings and the Magical Society elsewhere. We have to trample down potential hostiles at this point. I can't even afford to care about a guy like me. ”

It was a moment when the War of the Monthly Blinds was manipulated by only two people.

“Sell the Black Herb only to the highest level humans. It's profitable, and it can keep people and the upper floors apart. ”

“I will spread rumors about the plague and rumors about the nobles of the human world spreading it to end the case." ”

The epidemic has caused unlimited trust in the country, and to make up for it, the monarchs of each country marched under the pretext of 'Kill the Demon King, the source of the curse'.

In terms of individual forces, it was only 2,000 to 5,000 troops, but since all the countries mobilized the troops at once, the martial community was anxious to say, 'Humans are determined to invade.'

In response, the Demon Kings decided to wage a defense war. It was a strategy to attack from this side before the Humans attacked. As one of the Phantom Lords fought the Humans and died, the concerns of the Demon Lords grew even greater.

That's the first step.

“This is a war of defense for the Monthly Alliance. The notion that we act before human aggression unfolds. In other words, except for the Plains of Barbato, the Demon Kings are more likely to be surprised. I don't want to fight. ”

“Then the Dantalian Emperor is defeated by the Plains. You're going to break through the Flatlands as fast as you can. ― -- to make the monarchs of the human race anxious this time. ”

The Pyongyang clan will be in charge of the Habsburg Empire. It was no coincidence. Dantalian ordered Barbatos to take care of the Habsburg Empire, and Barbatos asked Baal to take the first place.

As soon as the Moon Blind Army called out, Baal and Barbato had this conversation.

‘Barbatos in sequence 8. ’

‘I was worried when you called me. It's obvious where I'm going. Right? "

"I appoint you commander of the 6th Legion. Advance to the Habsburg Empire. I acknowledge the power of the whole plain wave to you. ’

Between the two Demon Kings, the destination was already agreed.

Just like Dantalian planned.

The Sixth Battalion marched towards Habsburg. Here, Dantalian successfully breaks through the Black Mountains following an operation once utilized in the Dungeon Attack.... that thousands of monsters pierced the Black Mountains in just four days, putting more effort into the human society than into the magic society.

“From then on, spread new rumors immediately. Instead of slaughtering the humans in the occupied territory, the Black Herb is handed out for free. ”

“In fact, you should. ”

“Ah. Of course. ”

Thus, Dantalian avoided engaging directly with Rosenberg's change bag. I persuaded Barbatos to take over the territory without bloodshed, and I distributed the Black Herb not only to gain the citizens' minds, but also to subdue the monster camp. The colonists voluntarily founded Barbatos as Earl.

The news of the Demon King's unbelievable rapid breakthrough of the Black Mountains and even acceptance of the people as believers hit the human world. The 6th Armed Forces of the Monthly Blind didn't think much of it, but it was a serious threat to the lords of the nations.

A situation where the plague is causing people to lose their minds. While my son and husband were dying of illness, it was truly the rain of drought that shared the Black Herb with the Demon King or anyone else.

Up until now, the human race united from emperor to slave, defeating the lunar army. But this time, it became difficult to expect unity.

The hostility between the nobles and the commoners was fiercer than ever. The commoner and the slave rebelled against the Black Herb, forcing it mercilessly. In this situation, 'to protect humanity', however, the canals did not work.

In particular, it was crucial that Rosenberg's change bag was thrown out of his territory without even fighting properly. 30,000 troops went down to 10,000 in a matter of seconds. Except for the Knights, it turned out that the conscripts had no intention of loyalty to their country.

Finally, the twelve nations on the continent shared the awareness that the eighth month's Armed Forces were the most dangerous in 2,000 years.

That's step two.

“What's important now is how to cut down the power of the Demon King and the Humans.... ”

“Yes, we need to focus the two forces completely in one place. ”

Unlimited Blitz!

Dantalian wanted to be devastated by the Demon Lord, the Humans, and both sides to buy him time to grow. To do this, both sides' desperately 'poured out all their competencies.

On the devil's side, the realization that if we don't break through here, we'll lose.

On the human side, the realization that if we don't stop this place, we will perish.

So what do we need to prepare for?

“If we receive intelligence that the Moon Blind Army is organized, the human nations will want to go to war before the Demon Prince invades them. ”

Not all countries were bordered by the Demon King's territory. The Kingdom of Tuton, the Habsburg, the Kingdom of Polytunia, the Kingdom of Moscow and all four other countries were far from the Demon King's territory.

If the Demon Prince wishes to invade the Franks, he must first conquer the Habsburg Empire. Of course, the Franks want to intercept the Demon King's troops in the territory of the Habsburg Empire, not in their territory, before the Habsburg Empire is destroyed. War does great damage to the land. It is better to fight in a foreign country than to fight in your own country.

As the Black Mountains' strongholds crumbled indefinitely, the Frank Empire, the Republic of Batavia, the Kingdom of Brittany, the Kingdom of Castilla, the Kingdom of Sardinia and a total of five countries immediately mobilized their armies.

They were fortunate - that they were fortunate - to have already set up a vanguard. It was from 2,000 to 5,000 troops sent to subdue Marwan before the lunar army began. The nations deployed that vanguard first, then urgently formed an army.

A small force from each country marched almost to the border to enter Habsburg territory. They asked the Habsburg Empire to allow passage through the land.

However, either the Crown Prince or the Third Empress refused foreign requests. The Crown Prince wants the Air Force for himself. The Third Empress has taken this opportunity to strike a truce with the Demon King. …… the armies of foreign nations were ridiculous. I don't know what's going on, but the Demon Prince has invaded and is not allowed to cross the border!

Dantalian was convinced.

“Once they have a cause, they must invade the Habsburg Empire. ”

“Of course, but how do you plan to make excuses? ”

“There's a reason I chose the Habsburg Empire. ”

He chuckles.

“The Empire is currently in a fierce conflict between the Crown Prince and the Empress. When war breaks out, the royals are more likely to take over the military. War is always a crisis and a legitimate opportunity for the monarch to seize military power. ”

“…… I understand. ”

Laffith nods.

“The Crown Princess or the Crown Princess, you can make excuses with just one person. ”

“Ah.”

A battle between the Habsburg Empire and other nations is raging, and Austerlitz is on its way. As Dantalian predicted, the imperial army was completely annihilated from the Emperor's position.

One of the peculiarities of the Austerlitz battle is that the horsemen were not active at all on the part of the Democratic army. In fact, Dantalian and Barbato created separate cavalry forces just in case they missed one of the enemy's headquarters in the bay. The Separatists diverted the battlefield and planned to intercept them in case the enemy's superiors retreated. The plan was abandoned because the Crown Prince was captured calmly.

Everything is now simplified.

While Barbatos resurrected the immortal army and the other Phantom Monarchs were gathering monster-infested villagers, Dantalian sent word to the lords of the nations. I sent a picture of the Crown Prince to the magic crystal sphere.

─ Guan is Rudolf von Habsburg, the sole and sacred ruler of the Habsburg Empire. Sadly, the Empire is currently in crisis in Nuran. So I, Rudolf von Habsburg, call on the lords of nations to lean on humanity and friendship…….

It was a request for deployment.

The Lost Prince was already killed and was only a puppet revived by Barbatos' dark magic. However, I could not see it through the video beyond the Magic Crystal Ball. No, even if he did, he wouldn't mind the Monarchs of the nations.

When the Habsburg Empire collapsed, the nations shouted for joy, saying it was their turn next. The documents sent with the crystal sphere clearly had the Imperial Prince's seal stamped. They knew that Elizabeth III was actually the ruler of the Habsburg Empire, but it didn't matter. Yo-yo was as good a cause as any!

Dantalian cleverly wrote letters to foreign armies as well as to change bags from the Habsburg Empire, and for generations, those who were loyal to the first successor reacted immediately. They volunteered to march with foreign troops.

That's step three.

“…… His Holiness Dantalian is truly fearful. ”

After the marathon meeting, Lapis sighs.

“No one could devise such an epic plan. Who would dare imagine that? It all comes from the brain of one person. ”

“If it works. ”

“How can I guarantee that? ”

Laffith looked straight at me.

“I bet my life on it for 200 years. Dantalian will succeed. ”

“That's reassuring. Yeah, I guess I'm the last one to smile." ”

“Then I will return to the Magic System immediately and carry out my first operation.... But, Dantalian. What would you name this whole operation? ”

“It's called Operation Minerva. ”

The heart of this epic plan was at the Kunkusa Parliament.

Rumors spread quickly and there was no way to follow the Kunkusa High Commission as a means of passing information along with bribes to the heads of countries. The only question was whether the entire council of Kunkuska would cooperate with Dantalian operations, even if Laffith helped fully.

Of course Dantalian thought so.

Ivar Lothbrok, owner of the Kunkuska Parliament and founder of the Zodiac, hated the Demon Kings more than anyone!

Ivar Lothbrok and Dantalian met in secret. The two of them talked seriously for a long time. Ivar's expression was startled at first, followed by deliberation, and finally by cruelty. He understood that this plan would do great harm to the entire Demon King.

Ivar mutters abruptly.

“…… the Great King of Angolmoa. ”

“Hmm?"

Dantalian seems odd. Ivar shakes his head.

“No, I just had an old idea. I, Ivar Lothbrok, do solemnly swear to cooperate in His Majesty Dantalian's plan. ”

Of course, it was Ivar who brought me the most precious wine from the horse system to lure Barbato.

In fact, this was all Dantalian's plan. He had the perfect plan to lead the human army, but he was not confident about how to lead the Demon Prince army other than the 6th Army. I was just trying to consider a way to retreat to Black Acid Castle by being thrown out by the Humans.

That's how he realized Pymon was about to betray the Demon King's army - and Dantalian was excited. I was so happy that I took out the rest of the wine and drank it with Laura. How could I not? The last four steps have been completed on their own!

“Pymon! Stupid bitch! ”

He was small.

“You really help me from start to finish! ”

Dantalian immediately leaked information to Marvas of the 2nd, Agares of the 3rd, Bassa of the 4th, and Gamekin of the 5th. Piemon of the 1st platoon is planning to attack Barbato of the 6th.

The majority did not trust Dantalian's information. It's because I thought it was pointless.

However, Marvas, the fifth Demon King, who had accumulated enough admiration through a hearing held on the night of Valpurgis, took Dantalian's words seriously. Marvas was, above all, familiar with Pymon's personality. I considered it a fairly feasible scenario.

Marvas stops the 2nd Legion's advance and quietly looks into the company of the 1st. The 1st platoon actually moved strangely. Even if the mountain tribes avoid war, they are too lazy. When the First Army finally made their move, they marched towards the Habsburg Empire, not the Kingdom of Tuton.

“...... Dantalian was right. ”

Marvas swallows the moan.

Marvas isn't the only one. The other captains didn't take this seriously, so they put an undercover agent in 1st platoon. News of the 1st Battalion headed towards Habsburg immediately reached the Moon Blind commanders.

The top Demon Kings who wrinkle the Magic Cube made a decision.

“All troops, turn the tide. Head to Habsburg.”

─ Marvas, leader of Group 2, in sequence 5.

“Kuaa. Pymon, you hear a lot of head spinning up here? I can't just let her do something nice! Guys, let's go! ”

─ Agarose in second place of sequence, leader of third group.

“Reorient the advance. ”

─ the leader of the 4th Group, bare in sequence 3.

“Phew. This is a problem. Somehow I got unlucky. ”

─ leader of Group 5, gamigin in sequence 4.

All forces of the Second, Third, Fourth, Fifth and Virtually Wolverines immediately turned and headed for Habsburg. They didn't want Pymon to take the Air Force alone.

Pymon was appalled as to why Marvas had appeared, but he never would have fainted if he had known that the other three commanders were approaching him warmly.

The great war that Dantalian was so eager to wage was first read.
