00159 The Age of Tyrants

Five days later, the troops reached the Habsburg Islands.

“ ……. ”

Through the high gates, the Demon Kings had to be silent. It was the first time ever to set foot in the capital city of Habsburg. I expected a more glorious, more joyful victory. But all that remained was black smoke.

No one. Not even an animal. A burning flare pierces through the nostrils. The Demon Kings set up a rough camp on the darkened ground. Barbatos looks around the city's landscape in vain, noticing something and raising his eyes.

She hurriedly told the other Demon Kings.

“This is a planned retreat. Shit.”

“Planned retreat? ”

Gamigine frowns. She has been hiding her nose with a silk handkerchief ever since she entered the capital. The sound of his voice blazes.

“Remember the 5th Monthly Blindness? Agares, your bitch is heading for the kingdom of Moscow. ”

“It was the Kingdom of Kiev, not the Kingdom of Moscow. ”

The second most unpleasant of all, the Demon King Against his mouth twitches.

“Why are you suddenly messing with other people's bad memories? ”

“Still, back then, the Humans used blue-eyed tactics. It was winter again. When you arrived in Kiev with your dead bitch pooping, there was nothing left. ”

“The Habsburg Empire abandoned the capital as part of the Qing Dynasty? ”

Agaresh clutches his hand at his chin. She always had a smile on her mouth, and she got serious like that. Barbato continued to tell the Demon Kings.

“Look. The Yellow Hills have all been dug up. The Imperial Palace was dismantled and carried away. We're trying to move the capital. Shit, now's your last chance. We need to extract the elite and pursue them now. ”

“Last chance? ”

Marvas rebels.

“What do you mean, Barbatos? ”

“They're moving into the capital and beyond, empires. The people said," Yes, I understand. If I move it, I'll move it. "Must have been forced to demolish it. You must be feeling extremely bad! ”

Barbatos is excited.

“We're retreating, silencing those people. I bet you move like a dipshit. Now is the time for the Empire to fall. Chase them down and crush their tails, and the whole of Habsburg will be our territory! Comrades. Raise your flag and attack now! ”

She looks at the Demon Kings.

“ ……. ”

“ ……. ”

Barbato twitches his eyebrows. The reaction was not cool.

“What? You think I'm wrong? Then tell me. ”

“Barbatos. The Second Legion would be happy to have captured the capital of Habsburg. ”

Marvas cautiously said.

“The best tactics are bloodless. We captured the most prestigious city in the middle of the continent without a drop of blood. Do I need to wage more useless battles than this? ”

“Yeah. Me, too. ”

Gamigine was in tune.

“This tells me that the head of the Human Army has turned his back on the people. Wouldn't it be in our best interest psychologically to just leave things alone? ”

The other Demon Kings nodded. Then Barbatos' face becomes ugly.

“…… Hey, dear comrades. What are you talking about? I think I have the wrong ear. I'll tell you again. If we pursue them together now, we can wipe the Habsburg Empire off the map altogether. They're on the run, and they're holding people hostage. ”

“About that. ”

Agares smiles bloody.

“You wouldn't expect us to come after the Empire unless they were fools, too? Huh? I think he's advertising," Leave the bait to us and ask us. "You don't have the loyalty to take the bait on purpose. ”

“... It doesn't matter if you set a trap or set an ambush, Agares. ”

Barvatos barely speaks as he crumples his anger down his throat.

“There are only two things that matter. The enemy is weak, and we are strong. ”

“I mean, where's the law that tells them not to hide the secrets of the spleen? ”

“ ……. ”

Barbato senses something is going wrong.

Marvas, Agares, Gamegin, and the mercenaries of the Moon Blind are making a gruesome look. If the enemy set a trap, it was enough to break it with overwhelming force. The Demon Kings gathered here could not have known.

However, the minds of the Demon Kings were elsewhere. It was not of interest to them to destroy the Habsburg Empire.

There was only one reason.

“You bitches -- don't you want to punish the continent? ”

The Demon Kings did not expect the 8th Monthly Alliance to subdue the continent.

Blonde Gamegin tilts his head. She said.

“Eh?”

It's like the weird side is yours, not ours.

“The Lunar War expedition can't be successful. ”

“ ……. ”

“Chaam, Barbato. I'm saying something weird. You could have taken over the North Habsburg. What else are you greedy about? And then the disguise will be gone. Hehe.”

Agares continued:

“That's better. Habsburg won't have the strength to fight back as long as he's retreated to the capital. I'm going to turn the numbers around and clean up the rest of the Empire's territory while I take my loot in peace. ”

“ ……. ”

“My second platoon was originally on the way to the Kingdom of Polytunia. Barbatos. You and I have come this far together to secure passage to the Kingdom of Polytunia without breaching the Black Mountains. Now that we have no reason to worry about the rear, Squad 2 will return to its original destination. ”

And Marvas said,

“Conquest on the continent takes a long time, after all. You don't have to be anxious to finish it all at once, Barbato. ”

“... Don't be nervous? ”

Barbato bites his teeth.

“Are these idiots...... That's what the Demon King spits at you? The opportunity to destroy a human empire is at hand. Our mission is to exterminate humans and give the continent to the witches. You guys... ”

“Ah, ah. His mission! I'll be damned. ”

Agares shouts.

“Find your own damn mission, you old hag. All the motherfuckers who seriously shouted" Conquest of the Continent "died a thousand years ago. Nobody believes that crap anymore except for the ones around you. Do you understand? We just want to be able to feed the witches who follow us. ”

“You…… second place bitch. ”

“Sorry, Barbatos. ”

Gamigine interrupts, smiling heavily.

“I don't want to see the damage either. I mean, if we work together, we could annihilate the Empire army. If the Imperium is left behind now, they'll be desperately prepared to be destroyed. Heh heh. Then we'll lose all our loved ones pretending to fight! ”

Gamigine loosened her nose with a handkerchief.

“Hmph. Pymon's power is down too. Barbatos, your plains have lost quite a bit of force fighting the most aggressively. For me, the current state is the best. I couldn't be happier. Hehe.”

“ ……. ”

“By the way, shouldn't you own the entire north-central Habsburg? He loved his troops, but we fought together! I trust you will divide the territory fairly. ”

Barbato's hands tremble.

“Territory allocation...? ”

“Yes. We've been mobilizing our troops in the direction Barbatos has taken them for something. ”

Gamigine grins.

“It's been hard. I was worried when I'd run out of gas. Yeah. Humans aren't stupid, so they didn't just fight us. Which army, King Tuton? They followed us into the army, but if we go any further, they'll back off. Heh heh. They didn't want to fight hard either! ”

In fact.

The army that fought the most aggressively in the 8th Monthly Blind was determined. The Legion of the Demon King is led by Barbatos. In the Humans, the Habsburg Empire is led by Empress Elizabeth.

The Sixth Army fought straightaway to conquer the continent, and the Habsburg Empire fought desperately to defend itself.

The rest of the Demon Prince's forces moved in the first place for political purposes. In other words, they made a move to wipe out the mountain tribe, the largest faction in the Demon King's army. It was not necessary for the military to be consumed beyond its objective.

The rest of the human army had a similar situation. While the speech devastated them, they had no reason to fight if the Demon King's army didn't attack.

Because of the soldiers' morale, the Humans plundered the villages and cities of Habsburg. Under the guise of Cheongyeong Tactics, Humans seized the same human property under the pretext of being sent to protect Habsburg. The Demon Lord will eat them if they don't pillage them anyway. There was nowhere to go.

An interest was struck between the Demon Lord and the Humans.

In front of Barbato and Elizabeth, the rest of the Demon army and the Humans respected each other's boundaries as if they had made a pact in advance. The Demon Lord has looted this area. The Humans have pillaged the area.

Battles are rare, and they are only minor. They focused solely on extracting the amulet from the land of the Habsburg Empire.

The troops that participated in the battle were ironically mountainous. The mountain tribes struggled to get away from the accusation of betraying their own kind. As a result, the army of the mountain tribes was damaged by the annihilation of the Brittany Empire…… not to mention the advertisement that caused a significant amount of damage to the battle.

“Yes. We have the right to claim our fair share. ”

Agares smiles and says.

“Well, I'm not that greedy. Just give me a territory the size of an empire. You can have the capital of Habsburg, Barbatos. Well, I think I'm incredibly merciful. ”

“Ah. I like the Black March. Baal told me not to go there, but I ignored him. I don't like the shape when I receive faraway lands. Yeah. I'll settle for Brandenburg. ”

“That's right. Location matters. Slurp. What do I do? ”

Barbatos is silent.

“ ……. ”

I feel nauseous more than anger.

The fact that these things were in league with him was so horrifying that I couldn't admit it. I didn't even see the point of pride. Only a herd of jackals move in search of their own interests.

Barbato leaves without a word. Nobody grabbed her. Only the Demon Kings of the Plains followed her.

She said with a frozen face.

“Establish a pursuit party immediately. ”

“Are you going after our troops alone? ”

Zephar cautiously said.

“Your Majesty, I can't guarantee you a victory. ”

“Winning is not predicting, but moving and catching. ”

Barbato answered decisively.

“Even if the other Demon Kings are scum, we must show them to the Mages as much as we do. The Demon King is still fighting for you. That's what a king is. ”

“…… Respect. ”

“Bastards.”

Barbatos growls. She glances behind her back.

“Fine. If you want it that much, we'll postpone the continental sweep! Before I do, I'm gonna clean up every last piece of trash in the world. ”

At this moment, the plains were virtually separate from the rest of the factions.
