Hero without Blood or Tear

[68] Boiling Abyss. (5)

Three days later, I set off with 5,000 troops in Vitenbier. The situation was urgent, so I took the first step. I had no intention of being dragged away by the enemy.

During the troop deployment, I contacted Callione and instructed her to meet with the Emperor for follow-up measures. It was necessary to attract the emperor throughout this area. I left my supplies in Secondary Division and made it across the plains of Wolves with the least I could.

“That was close.”

Max, the deputy director, looks forward and clenches his tongue. He asked me if I would speed up the march any further.

“No. If you do, the deserters will fall. ”

You have to be careful at times like this to ruin work. I looked at the state of mind. I wanted to confirm my new skill by killing the swordsman Falke.

* Teaching of the Great Sword (SS grade)

A sword containing the last teachings of the revered Great Sword Tiger.

He said there is only one skill in every sword. It is said that whoever resolves this will be able to go to the higher ground.

* Soul Slash (Class S) - Cannot be used because it does not meet the requirements.

* Summon Sword Spirit (Class S) - Cannot be used because it does not meet the requirements.

* Dimensional Crop (SS Grade) -Cannot be used because it does not meet the conditions.

* Impossible to use due to insufficient SS rating.

2 S grade skills and 3 SS grade skills. Even if it blows up, the remaining 4 skills are unavailable except for the Great Sword Tiger's teachings.

The reason is simple, because those four skills are a unique way for a swordsman to handle magic. In order to write a poem, you must reach the edge of the Swordsmanship.

It's unavailable because I'm not there yet. I didn't have to worry, it would be solved if training builds up.

“Lord, are you heading to Wittenweir? ”

I nodded at Max's question. I was going to join Papenheim in Wittenweir.

We reached the outskirts of Wittenbuyer after the full moon. But things didn't go well. I met with Papenheim and scouted the Doha Hauptbahnhof I had planned, and they were already forming an army across the Rhine.

“Oh, shit. ”

“I'm sorry, Lord. ”

Papenheim, who has become a Daywalker with my abilities, chokes as if he has no respect.

“No. How is that your fault? The enemy is preparing for battle. Do you think they'll cross the river first, by the way? ”

Papenheim shakes his head at my question.

“I don't think so. Pezamut has already launched a large force in the Southwest. So I don't think they have the capacity to invade beyond the river. Even if we take it, we won't be able to handle it because we'll have more ships to protect. ”

“Is this a helpless protest? ”

The incident that the Demon King Pezamut encountered with the Demon King Roelin is now drawing the attention of the Imperial authorities. Some of them will consider marching southwest of the Empire through the breach.

But if you behave like that and raise an army like that, your will will die. They don't know it's a bluff. Papenheim pointed out the same thing.

“It should do the trick. The Lord is the only one who truly understands the Peshamuts beyond the Rhine. According to our current investigation of vampires, the fortresses across the river are half empty. ”

“We should use it to our advantage.... ”

Nevertheless, the enemy is 15,000. Everyone is turning on the lights to see who will cross the river. It was difficult to attack without knowing the situation.

“Huh…. ”

There was a deep murmur. I stared at the other side of the river silently for a long time. From afar, the Orc Lancers deliberately call out to the soldiers. The fishermen by the river trembled with fear. I quickly remembered the breakthrough as I stopped looking at it.

“Papenheim.”

“Yes, Lord. ”

“I've got work to do with the Daywalkers. ”

All 30 vampires following him have been promoted to the Daywalkers.

“The target is Wittenweir, Puraiburg and Rhinefelden, cities located to the right of the Rhine River. You go there and put up a wall in both the Horseman and Human languages. ”

My instructions for writing on the wall were as follows:

In the name of His Holiness, the Peshmut, who rules over us with blood and death, we proclaim our name to Humans.

1) Leave the city within ten days. I allow you to take only as much property as you can hold.

You cannot take livestock such as horses, donkeys, etc.

2) Women under 22 years of age should be left in the city.

3) No hostilities will be tolerated and if you try to resist, everything in the city will be burned.

These three terms are clear and we will not accept any negotiations or negotiations.

If you refuse this generous offer, I solely declare that only blood and death will remain.

- Lord Commander Gugushirak of the Night's Watch.

Of course, the Demon Lord Commander Gujarak across the Rhine has never given such an order.

But it doesn't really matter if it's true or not. The important thing is to be able to cast fear. By my command, Papenheim and the Daywalkers have posted walls all over three cities.

Of course there was a commotion.

“Oh, my God! Those vicious bastards must be trying to cross the river!" ”

“You brutes! Why did you ask me to leave women under 22?! ”

“What do we do now! * Sobbing *

The wallpaper resonates unbelievably large. People were half-mad and right-handed. You rush to the Ur City Council and shout for action.

“You incompetent people! What have you done? ”

“Do something! ”

He will, because the three cities barely survived as one that was east of the Rhine in the last war. The city was also populated from the west of the devastated Rhine River.

They are all those who feel the fear of war. My hands and feet are shaking less.

“Lord, it really works! ”

Papenheim, who was in charge of the carpentry, was somewhat excited. I told them not to stop, but to spread false rumors.

“Papenheim, carry the most cruel rumors you know. Blow, inflate, and let everyone be terrified. ”

“Yes, Lord! ”

* * *

Home of the Demon King Pezamut across the Rhine. Commander Gujarak hears a stunning report and opens his mouth.

“That kind of rumor is going around among humans right now? ”

“Yes. The Commander says he's going to fuck all the human women." ”

“What? Why me? ”

Commander Gujarak is out of his mind. He is a beloved general of Pezamut, an Orc warrior. You could say you're a man of position, starting with an Orc mercenary and moving up to the commander.

He was a man of honor, and he couldn't hide his confusion over the rumors that he was going to molest a human woman.

“You crazy bastards! The headquarters is rape!”

I've never heard such a humiliating rumor in my life.

Pussy.

The whole body of this proud warrior trembled. Moreover, he had a very oak-down taste, and liked a woman with green skin and nice molars. Human skin and skin whitening were truly grievous.

“I don't know. It's only part of the rumor. ”

“What else do they say? ”

“They say we're going to bake their newborns. They're also cutting off arms and legs for decoration, and there's all kinds of crazy bullshit going on. ”

Gujarak was absurd. I didn't know it was true to gather the troops and bluff, but I didn't know such a violent reaction would occur. I've rallied the army whenever I needed to do so before.

Recently, even when the government was anxious about Trier's pre-war and fire lord Jacquere, I didn't know why everyone was suddenly in such a commotion.

“I'm not saying we're really going in... Why? ”

“Better take a look at this. This is a wall that we claim was affixed. ”

The wall that Gujarak saw was made by Balor.

“Why don't I take the livestock? Even so, I admit to letting you use my words. Now I see these bastards are about to invade our land! You did all this! ”

In a panic, Gujarak ordered us to strengthen our vigilance. But his face was dark.

‘They must be doing something right. But Emperor Pezamut won't be able to send more troops this far. I don't know if I can keep it right.... ’

Despite the concern of this Orc General, the situation has already flowed.

* * *

The three cities beyond the Rhine are rowdy during the day. Fear rises like wildfire everywhere. But fear alone wasn't enough to trigger the explosion I wanted. That's why I was going to add anger to it.

“Max. Say I'll speak at noon in Vitenweir's Square. Gather the men. ”

“Very well, Lord. ”

Now I've come to be a celebrity in the city east of the Rhine. This place is militarily unsettled and suddenly has 5,000 people on it, so it has to shine like a savior. People were filled with anticipation that I would do something about this crisis.

The three cities across the Rhine have become independent after the last war, but they have little military power. Right now, 5,000 soldiers can only be seen as large. Everyone was staring at me because I said 5,000 more would come.

But I give speeches like that? Of course, a cloud of spectators came.

“Dear Citizens, ”

As my magically amplified voice spreads, the area is silent. I was satisfied with it and raised their tension with silence.

“ ……. ”

People concentrate silently. But I couldn't hide my anxiety since I was silent for a long time. I also opened my mouth with excitement, but like a skilled actor, I was patient for the best moment. And that silence caused a powerful wavelength for everyone.

“Gentlemen, we are on the verge of death. ”

There was a commotion right away. The fear and anxiety that I was trying to suppress erupted.

“No! They're gonna kill us all! ”

“We have to run! ”

“Help me! Lord Balor! Please!”

“Help us! City Council is incompetent! ”

In fact, the Wittenbuyer City Council has not stopped me from speaking without my permission today. I already have a lot of mercenaries around me guarding me. It won't do any good if the guards hit us.

“Gentlemen, I understand your pain. So please listen to me. I would like to try to boil my heart profusely. ”

The citizens who were stirring up a commotion just then shut up again. I spoke to them in a passionate tone.

“Where did the pain we've been experiencing come from? ”

One of my predecessors shouted.

“The Horsemen! The Horsemen! ”

Then there was a sympathy that seemed to be saying well.

“That's right! It's the Mages! It's all because of the Horsemen! ”

“Yes! Yes! ”

The hatred was overwhelming. I gladly looked at it.

“That's right, people. So I'm here to talk about the Horses. ”

My goal is to create anti-masculine emotions. There may be people who find this strange about my attitude.

I joined hands with the Demon King Roelin and with the Demon King Kubalt. But you don't know that. I didn't hold hands because I'm the Demon King. I held hands because it was profitable.

I could shout half-masons in the west of the Empire if I needed to, and half-masts in the east of the Empire. And right now, the best thing to do is to fuel your hatred of the Horsemen.

“All the misfortune you are experiencing right now comes from the Horsemen. So I'm going to say it with confidence that Ballerstead Baller! Once the Horses are gone beyond the Rhine, all this unhappiness will be gone! ”

A big response erupts. The crowd rose to its senses.

“Yes!”

“Yes! Lord Balor is right! ”

The applause pours out. I continue speaking drunk from the heat.

“Just as you hate the Horsemen, I hate the Horsemen, too. I'm no different from you because I lost my property and my family by them. ”

This is a red lie. Supandao is a peaceful village. But it was enough to create empathy.

“So I'm here today, and I think I deserve to be in front of you! ”

“That's right! Sir Balor! ”

“Yes!”

Another burst of applause. I return the favor, telling them what they want to hear.

“So for all of us! We need to gather all the horsemen of the world and burn them all at once! When the last Horses are gone, they'll know peace is upon us! ”

“Yes! Yes! ”

Now people are going crazy. However, I hurled an unexpected word at this moment.

“But here's the amazing thing. It's clear that we have the Horses in our pain, but isn't the city council also incredibly incompetent? ”

It made people look like they had been hit in the head with a hammer. I have offered you something you can easily grumble against instead of a terrifying horseman.

“Their incompetence is not a lack of self-efficacy, it may be the result of a secret closure. Your evil masters intend to sell your child to the Horsemen! ”

And then there's the conspiracy theory. The city guards I was watching broke in and caused a commotion, but I was overcome by mercenaries under my command. I point my fingers at the fallen ones.

“Look at them. What is it about hiding the truth of fear? ”

People became tempted.

“People, only those who act can save their own lives. Pick up the sword for your wife, and the gunpowder for your children! ”

That day's speech ended in a great storm. And the problem happened that night. For some reason, there was a fire everywhere in the city. People cried in horror, but then someone shouted aloud.

“Orcs! Orcs have set fire! ”

There was not a single Orc in the city alley, but people jumped like they were on fire.

“What? Orcs! ”

“They finally made it this far! ”

And then I shouted, hiding among the citizens.

“City Council! Congress sold us out! I opened the gate!”

The people who were surprised by the fire flipped their eyes at the moment.

“Let's go! Let's go to Parliament! ”

“Take them all! Grab the mayor! ”

Around the front and back, fires blaze with fire and riots. I looked at him and cried out in the end.

“Beautiful city of Bittenbuyers! Now come into my arms! ”
