- Anero point of view

Me and Bandit were infiltrating the demonic realm with their respective squire. We felt close to our lack of strength and demonic threats in the battle in the Strom Kingdom, and we began to think that we should not stay like this. The battle will never end simply by repelling the demons who invade the realm of the people. We must invade the enemy's home sooner or later and take the Demon King's neck. I broke into the demonic realm as a previous stage, but this seemed more magical than we could have imagined.

First, there are few decent cities and villages. Though I didn't expect so much, there are surprisingly no settlements inhabited by people. This is probably due to the overwhelmingly small population and the small size of economic activity compared to the human realm. And the overwhelming number of demons compared to people. The demons instinctively have the habit of following the demons, so I guess they don't pose a threat to them... but honestly this bothered me. I don't know how much I'm infiltrating for training, but I don't have an hour and time to rest. I didn't even have time to go to bed at first because I was always taking turns dealing with demons. But because of that, lately we were all getting to wear stunts that allowed us to sleep even for a short time.

It's just like garbage here, such as materials that you can trade for a high price if you take them to the guild. There are no craftsmen or merchants to process and wholesale the materials, nor do we intend to use them ourselves because we do not settle separately. So no matter how much valuable material you take, you just have to throw it away because it's in your way to carry it.

However, even if craftsmen and merchants existed, there was no way to make contact with the Demons, so it had nothing to do with us.

As I was told, is it because the demonic realm continues to be governed by more than one demon king, and there are more than one such place on each border? In the few streets, both armed and large demons, and the demons who follow them, were blindfolded and alerted to intruders.

I was prepared to die when I fought those people not once, but twice and three times, because of my prominent appearance of golden scales all over my body. Demon soldiers have powerful power to the end, so if you stay alert, death awaits. All I can say is that it was a miracle that I was able to beat them without missing one. But I'm pretty sure I had a bad experience with that.

The demons and demons who had struggled to defeat how many months had passed within doing so had been able to crusade easily these days.

"... ugh. That's it."

"Thank you. All right, this is the end of your training."

The horrible demon that has struck me - the head of a goat on the body of a lion, and the tail with the head of a snake - stopped the root of the demon's breath, the so-called chimera, and a bandit called out to me with a breath. Whatever you say for yourself, but thanks to repeated tough fights here, I think we've gained strength that we can't compare to the beginning. Skills in handling swords and spears, of course, acquire the power to manipulate them, the instantaneous power to kick the earth, and the calm judgment not to disturb them no matter what. The magic of the Balios group led by Bandit was gradually becoming more powerful, and now quite a few serious injuries could be healed instantly as well. I guess I was blessed with luck because there was no offensive magic, just healing magic and potion to get me this far.

Pull the spear out of the chimera, shake it with a bun and fly the blood paste. Unlike the first one I brought, this spear was taken from the Demons as a result of the battle. Everyone is now wearing chiseled gear because of the heavy use of firearms if intense fighting continues. I restocked my spear on my shoulder and turned my eyes to Bandit.

"It's also bad to vacate the country for too long. Since the unrest in the Strom kingdom, it's as if there's no information on what's happened in the realm of the people. Let's go home around here as planned."

"I hope we've lost a little bit of our demonic power as a result of our rampage."

"Oh. But you can't stay here forever."

The land of me and Bandit is far from the demonic realm. It's no wonder it takes two months just to get around on foot. Even if I return now, I will have been away from the country for about six months.

"In the meantime, let's go for the nearest Kingdom of Bordeaux. It's quicker than walking in a carriage."

Everyone nods at Bandit's opinion. When it comes to the Kingdom of Bordeaux, it is the country where Lord Lapis is. Driven by the temptation to give her an arm test of how impending her overwhelming strength I've seen before, let's just keep it to say hello even if we meet face to face this time. With that in mind, we followed the demonic realm.

After a long time and having managed to safely enter the Kingdom of Bordeaux from the dangerous demonic realm, we have received surprising information. Civil unrest has broken out within the Kingdom of Bordeaux, with numerous deaths and missing persons. When I was told about that on the ground floor of a lodging in a city close to the Devil's Land, I was stuffed by a drunk who was nearby unexpectedly.

"Is that story true? What the hell happened to you and all that?

A drunk, pressured by my force, blued his face in a way that was not alcoholic, but told me more about the circumstances.

"My eldest brother, Steed, and my second brother, Prince Magna... are you now Your Majesty? and... anyway, those two factions bumped into each other. It looks like Magna won after all, but there are a lot of dead people in and around Wang Du."

…………

I never expected that to happen before we knew it. What is civil unrest...... Doesn't it say it was the Rebble Empire that was leaping behind Steed on top of that? I felt something bad from that emperor, but I didn't expect to do anything so far.

"We'd better hurry back when this happens. I can't wait to see the faces of the Lapis ladies, but the Levre Empire may make a difference to our country."

"Mm-hmm. Bandit's right. There could also be a spark of civil unrest smoking in our country. Let's just say we hurry home as much as we can."

The next day. Got a couple of horses. We headed east on the streets for each country. The bandits and I split up along the way promising to reunite, and the three of us go for Bercis. Though I put in a few breaks along the way, I almost didn't rest and ran through, which resulted in the horse crushing first.

"I'm back now!

"Dear Anero!? Well done. You're safe!

The guard who jumped out of the soldier's clock in front of the castle gate was circling his eyes when he saw our faces. Naturally. I've been out of the country for a long time before the Strom Kingdom. I can't help but be surprised that a line of brave men who haven't been back for nearly a year have returned without contacting me.

"I heard about the Kingdom of Bordeaux. I'd like to ask His Majesty to come back soon."

"I understand. Wait a minute."

He will be escorted to the waiting area, where he will be seen after a short wait. I apologize for allowing your busy Majesty's precious time, but it makes no sense to waste your time inviting enemies to invade.

His Majesty, sitting on the throne in the deepest part of the sight, seemed a little more obnoxious than before. Its bright red scales, called flames, are not as lustrous, nor is the hegemony felt from its body as before. I was surprised at what was going on, but there was no reason to ask directly between people's eyes.

"Long time no see, Anello. Looks like you're safe."

"We're out of time, Your Majesty. Forgive me for being so rude that I haven't even contacted you."

His Majesty answered my greeting with a bitter smile.

"Good. Originally you are the only man interested in polishing your own martial arts. I don't expect courtesy or anything from the start. Besides, what happened today? I guess you didn't come back to look at my face, did you?

"On that matter, Your Majesty. Did you know that there was civil unrest in the Kingdom of Bordeaux?

"Of course. I don't know what the impact on my country would be if that big country were disturbed. I kept him informed of the war, and I know what happened to the post-war process."

"So did you also know the story of the Rebble Empire pulling the thread behind it?

As soon as I spoke of it, I could see that the atmosphere between the glances had obviously changed. Because of the wrinkles between the eyebrows of His Majesty, who stood to the left and right, blatantly distracted from his eyes and grinned.

"... you wouldn't know I was away, but we have a request for cooperation from the Rebble Empire in our country. Once a brave man - telling us to use the Lapis that Brave changed his appearance and discuss with him the Kingdom of Bordeaux, which is trying to disrupt the world through the Demons..."
