The First Battalion of the Monthly Mercenaries, Crams of Habsburg Fortress!

It was not enough to express that it had fallen. A massacre has occurred. Despite the placement of two swordsmen, the Demon Lord Veled has lured the fortress into a violent rage.

The Imperial Army fought to the last man, just as they proved to be elite soldiers. I didn't lose hope to survive and act like an animal. One person's enemies are constantly bitten and stretched out in order to draw them into the afterlife.

Believing that the more they acted, the longer the Imperial Strength would be.

“Oh.”

Belled the Demon Lord was moved by the fierce struggle. A single tear flowed from his dull face. Veled was a sentimental man. I didn't think I'd feel it with my head, but I thought I'd feel it with my heart. His emotions are overwhelming and he commands.

“Kill all civilians in the keep. I will make their end more tragic and more heroic. ”

Veled has lived for over a thousand years. I knew very well how to make a name for mankind in history. He slows down his march and kills the humans who stayed in the Keep.

Most of the people have already fled. Those who did not abandon their homes but only prayed for compassion like the day of the conqueror were killed, both men and women. Here, Veled feels that a decisive blow is not enough simply to kill.

“Hmm. Let's put the bodies together and build a raft. ”

Five hundred imperial guards and four hundred civilians. They were slaughtered and tied in dozens. The Human Rafts are complete. Bellet ponders for a long time and then separates the heads and turns them into another raft. He glanced at the results of the slaughter with a glance at the artwork.

“That's fantastic! ”

Veled is satisfied. He sends the dead rafts down the Danubeus River with utmost respect. Unfortunately, several of them sank. The majority of the sails were blown away by a gentle breeze.

It was a kind of nonsense called "The Demon King's Aesthetic", filled with horror.

Corpse rafts have followed the Danubeus River to other villages, sometimes cities. Those who wondered what it was were all appalled as one. Their subconsciously engraved horrors show their heads again.

The Demon King is coming.

The most violent men on any Moon Blind expedition were the plains. They claimed to be gentlemen of war, but all they did was self-confess. Their sole mission is to slaughter. The leaders of all the massacres in the history books were the Pyramid Demon Kings.

However, there was a Dantalian in the 8th Monthly Blind Army. Dantalian was far from a massacre. He was reluctant to see the blood in vain, and asked that we refrain as much as possible if we could.

The slaughter did not occur despite the plains taking over Rosenberg's territory. It was because Barbatos, who trusted Dantalian and Dantalian so deeply, controlled the Plains Demon Kings.

Even after the Battle of Burno, the Plains have refrained from slaughtering. Because Dantalian said, 'The more we don't kill civilians, the more we win the Demon Prince's army.' But it's now half a year since Dantalian left the Plains. The Phantom Demon Kings revealed their true colors.

“Humans! The only freedom we give you is fear, the only freedom we give you is power, and the only truth we give you is ignorance! ”

Veled straight down the Danubeus River. Cleaning up human villages in the middle. Because of this slaughter, 500 Imperial Defenders who died defending the fortress, as Veled expected, became tragic heroes and remained in the history books.

He wasn't the one who became drunk on aesthetics like Veled.

The slaughter had a practical purpose. Veled scraped up the slaughtered corpses from the villages and set out to use them in a siege in the Habsburg Islands that would soon take place.

“There's plenty of use for a corpse. ”

Bellet smiles.

The cruelly damaged corpse itself terrorizes the human army. Can demoralize the enemy. Cast black magic and shoot it into the catapult. Fortunately, there is an epidemic in the castle.

“When I live, it pleases me, and when I die, it serves me. There's no one else who can help our Demon King like Humans. ”

Veled carries a heap of corpses on the Heilang's back. The Knights of Death marched forward, carrying the bodies one by one. I flew thousands of human corpses. This slowed the march, but it didn't matter.

Veled was just the vanguard after all. I didn't have anything to do if I got to the institution early. The Habsburg Islands were one of the continental strongest cities. The city was founded and the Moon Blitz has never conquered it.

No matter how short it takes, it will take a month. The Moon Blind Command judged it that way. The same goes for Veled. His job is to secure the prison. It was the right decision to gather the human corpses instead of his swift march.

― ― What if there was only an ordinary leader in the human army.

Three days after taking the fort. Veled's forces have reached the islands.

“…… hey, hey. What a mess. ”

Veled stops. The plains are wide open. In the middle of the plains stood the great city. Bellet grins as she gazes at it.

“Did any of the quicker bastards take down the islands before us? ”

The plains are already burnt to brown. A blackened wall. A few thin strands of smoke rising from within the city.

The system was already on fire.

* * *

The capital of Habsburg is burning!

Veled reports directly through the Magic Crystal Ball. The Moon Blind Command did not understand. What do you mean, the system is on fire?

The most important goal in this war was not only the institution. The Wolverines must be taken down, and the Humans must be defended. But it was burnt out before the Moon Mercenaries arrived. Initially, the Moon Blind military leaders doubted each other.

“…… Inspired Marvas. Did you do this? ”

“Nonsense. Our 2nd legion moves a day later than yours. ”

“Hey, dear comrades. ”

Barbatos glances around the left.

“Something's going wrong. One of us hit him. Hey, Citri. Look at my eyes. Don't turn your head. Did you do it? ”

“You're small, so your head looks small, Barbatos. ”

Citri snorts. She was currently leading the First Fleet of the Monthly Blinds, the Mountain Demon Kings, on behalf of Pymon.

“I understand your lack of brain cells, but you have to remember something. We spent all our resources destroying the British Empire last time. We don't have an army to rob. Even if we do, we can't overthrow the Habsburg system. ”

Barbato turns his head. There, the blonde Demon King was casually grabbing grapes.

“Garmigin.”

“Oh my God, no. If you doubt your comrades, you can't use them. Our fifth platoon joined the last of them. I'm not the kind of guy who forgets or forgets peanuts like you guys. Besides, we're not as numerous as the 2nd Army. How do you take down the system alone? ”

“Hmph. If not alone, yes. ”

Barbatos is dead.

“Agareth, bargaining, and Gamyin. Didn't you guys fix it? Honestly, bitches with brass knuckles. Somehow he said he was lazy fighting for power all the time. Shit, we've been pulling troops out of the back hole and attacking the system. ”

“Oh, don't get cocky, little lady. ”

The second ranked Demon King Agares smiled brightly. She was easily noticed because her hair was blue.

“Your sixth legion has been on Habsburg from the start. We marched all the way out here to help you, especially you. Huh? I'm not in the position to be insulted by your bitches, and I'm not the kind of person who can raise their voice to number nine on a topic. ”

“I'm not number nine, I'm number eight, a kid with muscles in his head. ”

Barbatos growls. Agares grimaces and covers his mouth.

“I'm so sorry! The sequence is so low that I don't even remember. But you were bad, too. Huh? At least you're in fifth place. It's easy to remember your opponent. Eighth place. It's so big I can't even remember a fool like me. ”

“Wow. I could brand that stupid brain myself. ”

The two Demon Kings smiled furiously at each other.

“Carbo or no carbo, Miss fucking Mademoiselle. ”

“Bitch, I'm gonna kill you. ”

Barbatos was about to summon the battle sickle. Marvas sighs.

“There's no peaceful meeting going on here. Barbatos. Agares. If you two are going to have a duel here, fine. I don't have the right to host or stop a duel, so just back off. But make sure you never invite them to the banquet again. ”

“Hmph.”

“Fuck.”

Barbatos and Agares turn their heads.

Marvas was the only one worthy of mediator among the Demon Kings. Baal at the top of the sequence watched the Demon Kings thoroughly, not in a very serious crisis. The rest of the top Demon Kings were all so high that they didn't listen to anyone.

Only the Neutral Tribe's leader, Marvas, coordinated and read the Demon Kings. Although he was ranked fifth in rank, he was practically the greatest authority in the Demon King's army. Marvas takes a step back, at least a step back.

Marvas said.

“If we doubt each other now, there is no end. Over the past few months, each of us has acted separately. Only you know how you roll an army. There is no army that can be completely exonerated. Barbatos. So is the 6th legion. ”

“ ……. ”

“Most of all, it's nothing to hide. The Habsburg Islands have fallen. This is the Air Force, not a glitch. Whoever it is, the Demon King who abandoned his institution will be praised forever. What are the benefits of hiding it? ”

Marvas slowly looks at the Demon Kings in turn. If you think of anything, say it. No one answered. because he was actually right.

Marvas said carefully.

“Those who have now doubted have no basis for doubt. This is slander. Then it is right to assume the enemy burned the capital rather than our allies. ”

“Hmmm. Habsburg burned its capital? ”

Gamekin tilts his head. She was blond and fluffy.

“I don't understand that at all. The capital is the capital. It's the heart of the country. What's in it for burning it down? ”

“ ……. ”

Again, there was no answer.

There have been very few dynasties that have left the capital and fled so far. None of them burned the capital thoroughly. There was a time when angry people burned down palaces. But what burned the entire capital was an unprecedented one.

For Humans, cities are a treasure to be reclaimed. Even if you are pushed by the Moon Blind, you can take back the city one day. In the past, humans have repeated that process many times over. Why the sudden burning of the capital?

“…… I don't think I'll get an answer. Let's keep moving. You can find the right answer afterwards. ”

Everyone nods at Marvas' offer. The Lunar Army has marched on an already burned archipelago.
