Dungeon Defense (WN)

00171 The Demon King's World

We didn't talk for a while. Maybe Baron is in reminiscence.

How a civil war would ruin Frank's destiny, and what would become of his territory by getting caught up in it. The town is now in a festive mood. I made Baron Joon's heart flutter with commotion. How long will this peace last...?

I was also thinking the soup was really delicious.

Well, the chicken's in it, so this must be chicken soup. But all kinds of vegetables float around. Among these, there are very few parts of chicken. Is it okay to call this chicken soup? Actually, that's the problem…….

“Thanks to you, I sighed. By the end of winter, the atmosphere in the village would have been infinitely low. ”

“I'm glad that our pilgrimage helped you at all. ”

Why are they naming the soup after the name of the meat...... I ate another mouthful of soup to find out why. Delicious. Fine. Let's just name him Delicious Soup for him.

“Thanks to your visit, everyone's mind is lightened for spring. You can say it's good luck. I want to thank you."

“You're welcome. ”

I'm not unfaithful. I am considerably more serious than Baron. I am trying to protect the interests of the vegetables against human prejudice. It's never been more important than Frank's. This is the difference between baron and the devil. Hmm, let's eat with a slice of bread this time.

“I have a favor to ask of you. ”

“Whatever we can do. ”

Why does he keep talking to me? I am now committed to praising you on the unequal perception of vegetables and meat through soup before my eyes. Don't interrupt.

“Strangely, the Goblins have been rampaging since last year. Monsters rarely appear around here. Because there's a castle. ”

“Monsters tend not to escape near Castle Demon. ”

There are plenty of mana in Castle Marwan. Mamang Castle is essentially chicken soup for monsters who live and eat Mana. Of course I don't want to leave.

“Yes. Suddenly, monsters appear." The Demon King here must have moved the monsters with his foot on the Moon Blind Army. ”

Baron Bercy gives an interesting comment. In other words, the Moon Blind forces attack the front lines of the Human Army. Meanwhile, the Demon Kings in the interior are distracting the rear. That's what the Demon King was doing around here, too.

I'm sorry, that's not true.

The reason the monsters are freaking out is because the chicken soup is gone. That's what pisses me off.

There was a man who came out early and had this conversation.

─ Where is your Castle of Magic?

─ It's in Frank…… in the Lauren Province, on the hillside of La Elia…….

─ Excellent. What villages are near Castle Marwan?

─ Formatra, Blackcannula…….

Province of Lauren, Baron Bercy, and Pometra.

This is the land where the 72nd Demon King ― Andromalius lived.

Humans do not yet know that Andromalius is dead. When the Demon King died, the Mana of the Demon Castle disappeared, and because of that, the Goblins went berserk. Andromalius died in a city in the Mahjong system, not in the human world. It's natural that Baron doesn't know.

Andromalius has kept the Goblins in the mines to work all day to fund his gambling. Those Goblins must have spilled out of the dungeon.

I thought of cleaning my mouth with napkins.

‘In Dungeon Attack, the protagonist villages become shredded by Goblins. It's first to check if the warrior village has been damaged or not... ’

The quest breaker did not work when you killed Andromalius. I didn't know the Demon King was still able to break the quest. I was relieved, but after I learned that I could break the quest later, I became obsessed with one question.

Why didn't the notification window pop up that you destroyed the Warrior Quest?

The Demon King Andromelious has a way of making him a hero. The protagonist grudges against the presence of the Demon King because he brutally trampled the protagonist's village, the Coin Village. If Andromelius disappears, the protagonist should not become a warrior.

‘But the quest was not destroyed. ’

Whether Andromelius disappears or not, the protagonist is destined to be a warrior. Or is it that other Humans carry out the warrior's quest on behalf, even if they are not the main characters...? There are many possibilities.

Whatever the answer was, there was only one thing I could do.

I had to root out the warrior bud first.

To do that, I've consulted with the Liberation Alliance to get the group's route this way. It was no coincidence that I arrived at Baron Bercy. At this moment, when the forces of the Demon King and the forces of the human army were becoming weaker, the human who became a warrior was the first risky molecule that threatened the future of peace.

Let's get rid of them without hindrance.

“Very well. I will subdue the Goblin quarter. This must be what the Goddess meant as well. ”

I was the last to enter with wine.

“However, please provide a good guide to the geography. There will be bandits and war villages at the foot of the mountain. Sometimes things happen unintentionally. ”

A red liquid, like blood, lingers in the glass, shining this way. My face reflected on the wine was smiling fiercely like a truly faithful priest.

* * *

I took a day off.

The festival lasted until late at night because the Lord's servant bought a lot of food in the city. Dwarf mercenaries led the festival. Thanks to this, the villagers grew up in their homes rather than complaining about accommodation orders.

Around noon, we set off screaming from the villagers like an army of our own on an expedition. The two men who were hired as guides were middle-aged hunters, who literally mapped their brains with what was there.

“You mean the coin village? There's only one place. ”

“I think they're from another country, but if you leave them alone, they'll fight the beast on their own, so you leave them alone. ”

It must have been there.

I split the group in two. He led the mercenaries to the Goblin quarter. The rest, Jeremy and the assassins, followed me. Zachry said, "Why are the troops divided?"

“Your slumber has slowed your march. There are only twenty Goblins in this area. If we march together, we can subdue at most one of them, no matter how hard we work all day. inefficient.”

“Hmm.”

Zachry nods.

“Well, I have the support of the villagers, so I have to give them that result. ”

“This is a matter of our credit. In order for us to be hired by the lords in the future, we need to know the first button well. Working with the other Demon Kings to devise a ruse is later. Work hard for now. ”

“I understand.”

Half of them were lies and half were truthful.

I plan to work with the Demon Kings of the Inland to destroy the lands in the future. But we shouldn't reveal our true colors from the beginning. Slowly, I had to endure until the lords trusted our mercenaries greatly. Subjugating Goblins was both easy and appropriate to build trust.

On the other hand, I didn't fully trust Zachry.

Zachry was a zealous Republican. He was a man who moved by ideology and belief. If I say I'm going to wipe out the War Village for no reason at all, I'll say no right now. Would Jacqui convince the coin village that there is a boy who will become a warrior in the future and therefore have to get rid of him now?

In that sense, Jeremy and the assassins were easier to use.

The assassin is accustomed to killing people for no reason. It was their duty to carry out the order without any doubt when the employer ordered it. Not unlike that. Jeremy nods without a word since I told him I needed to wipe a coin village off the map.

“I believe you have something in mind. ”

Jeremy smiles and says, That was the end of it. I couldn't be more reliable.

After walking along the guide for about three hours, you can see the money village through the forest. The smoke from the firewood slows up into the pale sky. The people who were all dressed slowly moved back and forth to the tent-like house.

“Jeremy, kill the target in sight from now on. ”

I took a breath and gave the order.

Jeremy glances at the village.

“It's simple. There are only 30 of us, 10 young men. If you give me five minutes, I'll clean it up. ”

She doesn't remove her smile from her mouth. I still felt nothing in my emotions as opposed to my face. Maybe even the moment he stabbed his opponent in the neck, Jeremy wouldn't have a single speck of life.

“There may be people out of town right now. ”

The protagonist, who was a child, was also outside the village when the Demon King Andrews attacked the War Village. That's why they survived the monster raid. There is still no guarantee that I will not do so.

“I long for every human being in this village to be exterminated. ”

“So what do we do? Shall we wait until dinner? ”

“No, I have a better idea. ”

I pulled the magic scroll out of my chest. It was an intermediate teleportation scroll that gave me several opportunities.

“This will summon my golems. ”

“Attack the village with golems and scatter us all over the place to secure survivors in case we don't know?" ”

“I'm glad I got it fast. ”

Jeremy smiles.

“I'm a specialist. ”

“Remember, vigilance is forbidden. Among the enemies are still young, but there are monsters hiding that will re-defeat the continent in the future. It's a boy. If you see him, don't come near him. Call me first. Understood? Do not engage at will. ”

“ ……. ”

Jeremy's eyes change. I became the eyes of hyena who hunts lions from the gaze of light prey. There was no complaint at all about what a boy would do. She completely accepted my words and changed her mind accordingly.

“Respect.”

Twenty assassins, including Jeremy, vanish without a sound. Looking back, the guide collapses unconscious. There was no one around. It was indeed the most powerful assassin in the horse system.

I took a big breath.

A warrior.

A monster among monsters who became mercenaries from the peasants, who gradually took over the empire in the eyes of the Empress, finally destroying the Franks and Brittanies, and slaughtering 72 Demon Kings…. I used to be a player, so I knew better than anyone how incredibly powerful he was.

Kill him now. I, who was a warrior, will now become the Demon King and destroy him.

Everything is for my survival.

“Archesus.”

The scroll tore, and it emitted a white light.

A massive rock fighter arrives at the silent foothills. Now, to my subordinates who are accustomed to summoning, I point my finger at a humble coin village.

─ Khhhhhhhhh!

The hunt begins.
