From Mightiest Hero to Demon King (WN)

A week has passed since the King's escape.

The Windy Dagger (Sylphide Dagger) was used to earn distance, but Lippi consumes magic and Gallius gets tired. Still went twice as far on foot.

If we go on for another half day, it's the realm of the old 'Land of Demons'.

But at sunset, I decided to find the right forest and creek again and go wild.

But.

"Looks like you had a client."

A lively group occupied the riverside. The number is fifty. They are all wearing light armor and swords on their hips.

"Bandits, huh?

"No, there's a flag. It would be a mercenary regiment. But it doesn't fall to me to be camping here."

It has been more than three weeks since the battle against the Land of Demons. I should have been back at the base for a while.

If so, I can think of...

"I guess someone hired me to do some work"

I'm worried that this isn't what the woman I met at the fountain said about 'meeting'.

"Lippi, do you hear their conversation?

Because they are distancing themselves from being noticed, noisy voices could not be grasped to the content.

Lippi puts his ears up properly and makes them tingle.

Just when one of the members came from somewhere.

Captain, you're back.

"Oops, hard work. So, how'd it go? Were you there?

"Heh. Come on as information suggests. Is it true that the elves are only twenty years old? Half of them were women, hehe, just like the top balls of the jump."

Lippi, who crushed this far as the dialogue goes, makes his expression rude.

Apparently, this mercenary regiment is hunting for the remnants of the demon clan.

This is the realm of the kingdom from the beginning, but it was dotted with subhuman settlements. We did not cross the Great River into the realm of the Land of the Old Devil, and there were still runaway sub-men left behind.

The captain smiles distorted.

"Damn. We're lucky to find the 'vultures' bastards, the elves. We'll take that, too."

"Looks like they haven't got their hands on the women yet. I started serving liquor."

"That's good. I was going to attack my sleep, but do I scratch them before they contaminate me? Don't tell me to hurry up."

"Hihihi, when was' good '?"

"Then you, the elves can sell for a high price, and you can have fun with the ladies before you do. The people of the regiment will be delighted with the good deeds."

"Tiny."

"That's the captain!

"Ha ha!"

A humble laugh occurs from there.

"Those guys..."

Lippi was trembling so angrily that she was going to pop out now.

Apparently, they're trying to embezzle the prisoners from the rest of the remnant hunters.

I didn't know you were just attacking the runaway demons, or taking possession of them in your own clan.

(Really, I wonder what I was fighting for...)

With anger, there was a flurry of anger.

"Lippi, you stay here."

"Are you going alone? It's impotent. We've got fifty opponents, right?

"No problem. I have this."

Gallius pulls out Sylphide Dagger. The wind gathered and rose high in the sky. Stopping at a height of about twenty meters, some of the members noticed and pointed to Gallius. Target them as a priority other than them...

Hyun, Hyun, Hyun, Hyun!

Waving a dagger in the air, a number of wind blades popped up. The wind blade changes track along the way and hits the back of the boggling men in the head hard.

The power was curtailed. I just stunned him.

"Become!? Ya bastard - hehe!

Let him who hastily holds his bow fall down as well.

Gallius slowly descends with his wind clothes together, defeating the members one after the other at Silfeed Dagger -.

"You're the only one left."

I stepped down in front of the captain who lost his hips.

"Hey, what's up, Temee..."

"Sorry, I'm the one asking the questions. Let's talk about where the" vultures "captured the elves are now."

Gallius wielded a dagger. A blade of wind plunders the captain's cheek, breaking the large stone behind him. The captain rattled his teeth and answered the question as he grabbed on.

Having figured out the location, Gallius also stuns the leader of the mercenary regiment.

"Rippi, that's enough."

Lippi, who had a pompous peek from a distant bush, rushes haphazardly.

"That's amazing. I really took it out on my own. Uh... did you kill him?

"No, I didn't get that far"

Lippi strokes her breasts down in a ho.

It was strange that when I was eavesdropping on mercenary group conversations, I was all angry.

but I can't keep it long now.

"There, let's take the biggest carriage"

"If you're going to use it to move, why don't you just horses?

"Pack food warmly"

"What, why? You two can eat food for fifty people because of how long it's a journey...... oh well!

Gallius nods.

"They have about twenty captive sub-men ahead of them on their way. Think after you rescue them."

"But if I take it all, these guys are in trouble..."

Lippi looks around at the faces of the rolling mercenary regiment.

Gallius asked as he carried the food-like package to the carriage.

"You seemed a lot angry earlier, though? Do you pity these people?"

"I mean, pity... what is it? Even the bad guys still take their lives - that's not what I was trying to tell them."

Lippi also answers as he carries food.

I see, and Gallius had a point.

The scene where Lippi attacked Jeredo.

Now I know, but given Lippi's strength and Sylphide Dagger's offense, it was strange that he couldn't get that close and kill him.

Probably because deep down in my heart I had hesitations about Lippi.

This warcat has too good a root.

I don't like useless biocides either. I didn't think it was enough to kill him because he wasn't directly harmed himself this time either.

But I wouldn't hesitate if I had to.

Because if you do, you could take something important away.

"Well, there's a reason to take food away"

This is all the big ground. Collecting food in the woods is finite. If so, we must turn back to be the stronghold of the Royal Army that hired them, for supplies.

In the meantime, this mercenary regiment will be unable to hunt the remnants.

There is little chance that the runaway sub-humans will be helped.

Even though we have a national treasure dagger, we can't save all the subhumans who have both missed the run. There was more to playing guerrilla warfare than knowing where you were.

Now all we have to do is save ourselves and those who can help us as far as we can see. It is arrogant to try to accomplish more than that.

"All right, that's as good as it gets"

He worked on a two-headed carriage and connected two more horses.

"You do this to me. Can you do that?"

"Oh, yeah, I can, but isn't Gallius more appropriate?

"I'm tired. I want you to recover."

By the time I got here, I had used Sylphide Dagger's special effects and even used them in combat. My mental strength is pretty sharpened. The back of my head hurts so bad.

Gallius dropped his hips on a loaded carrier with food.

"Oh well. Right, good luck. Get some rest. But you're anxious. There are soldiers of the people again, aren't there? Wouldn't they notice if I approached you in a carriage?

Indeed.

The surprise attack is a big premise, so if possible, as well as this one, we want to get close and get ahead of ourselves without them noticing.

"One thing I'm sure of... didn't a little bird come in here right now?

"What? Yeah. Haven't you seen it?

Lippi turned around at your stand and looked at the carrier and said.

"Right. Well, I'm fine. I'll signal you when we get close to where we're going. Then be careful not to hiss the horse and stop the carriage."

"Yeah, okay"

Lippi runs the carriage.

Gallius stood still, looking at the golden little bird on his lap (...),

"That's why. Nice to meet you."

When told in a small voice, the little bird answers the pleasure.

'Yeah, I don't mind. That's what I told you. I'll take care of it.'

Weren't you thorough enough to watch? The question was not put to his mouth, and Gallius closed his eyes -.
