Hero without Blood or Tear

[75] A World of Fraudsters. (2)

“You're miserable.... ”

I glanced back at the end of the siege. The Shamans make their move, sprinkling their blood all over the place. But now more have fallen to their deaths. The mountains of corpses pile up.

“Balor, we are victorious! ”

By the time you get hungry, the battle is over. Valpurgis slaughters the enemy commander himself, who resisted to the very end. The hot screams of her dance have erupted from all sides.

“Waaaah! Long live Valpurgis! ”

“Hail, Sister Knight! ”

The jealous nobles ridiculed her for being a eunuch, but in fact, she was popular with the soldiers. We can't help but feel the brotherly love of fighting alongside each other.

By the time she turns 17 this year, she will have a magnificent career ahead. The Book Horse commander who died today was just a decoration on one corner of the Hungarian poem.

“You've done a great job. Not only did I capture the commander, I was excellent at everything I did overnight with my enemies. If it wasn't for Valfurgis, I wouldn't have won this victory. ”

“It's a compliment. Baller. But it feels good to hear you say that. ”

After giving up their escape, the Shamans, who had fought for 3,000 troops, were exterminated two hours after the battle began.

“It would have been a lot easier if I had brought cannons. ”

“That's too bad for the Maiden. We pursued them in haste. We have no choice. What are you gonna do now, anyway? Apply.”

“Let's clear the battlefield and take over the troops. But I'm going to take 500 mounted men and go to Rheinfelden. ”

“Dangerous. The Demon King is there, isn't he? ”

“Well, I just got off the phone with my scorpion, and he says that Rheinfelden is empty. ”

“What?"

Valpurgis was surprised. I guess I'll have to. We were thinking of Rheinfelden as the final destination for the end king.

“Could it be a trap? ”

“I don't think so. Since Rheinfelden, the area has been completely empty. ”

“I don't know what the hell is going on. Where did the Water Demon King go? ”

“I don't know about that. The Demon King Arunde may be diverting to attack the city, so please lead the troops back and guard them. ”

I traveled to Rheinfelden with 500 cavalry. I've left the rest to Valpurgis, so he'll do well. I arrived at Rheinfelden three hours after departure, and the city was utterly destroyed.

“Ugh! The smell. ”

We frowned in a rotten place where the water was vibrating in a healthy city. Everyone followed me after covering their faces with a cape.

Slaughterhouse.

Half the legs of the horses were submerged in water all over the city. The city is crawling with snakes and strange veteran creatures.

“Lord, look at this. ”

Papenheim was in charge of the city's guidance. Seeing where he points, there are a bunch of egg fragments that have finished hatching. It was stuck to the walls of the building, and it was sticky like an alien egg I saw in a movie.

Around it are traces of humans eaten by hatchlings. The corpse of the deceased seems to be dizzy all around.

“Brutal bastards. ”

The cavalry could not hide their anger. Human beings were so miserably provoked to tears in their hearts.

It seemed that the Demon King Ahunde had largely hatched the Sawyer Horses using the humans of Rheinfelden as rations.

“This is a big deal. It's not usually a problem. ”

The Shamans grow incredibly fast. In just a few years, this area would be swarming with them.

At that time, there will be no way to deal with the Demon King. If you had a whole city of this size, you would have hit 5-100,000 babies.

“Is that a problem? ”

“Think about it, Papenheim. That scary Demon King Ahunde still has between 50,000 and 100,000 more troops. ”

“It's not enough to say it's horrible. ”

“By then, there will be no one left to stop the Demon King Arunde in the Southwest. I'll have to return the title of Earl Wittenbuyer and run. ”

I thought I'd have to do something terrible with her. He originally intended to defeat her with a few victories, returning her to her homeland, Lake Boden.

However, the opposing Pokémon's stance seems unusual given the amount of egg laid here. After this, I seem to be prepared to become an enemy of the crippled heaven with her.

“A battle with time. ”

“That's right. The longer we wait, the better for the Demon King. Now I see that the attack on Wittenbuyer and the siege of the Valpur convent were meant to stabilize the hatch in Rheinfelden. ”

Clearly, our gaze did not reach Rheinfelden. It was more urgent for Valpur to clear the siege of the Sisters than it was for Rheinfelden to fail.

You really want to learn a lesson.

“Truly a fierce enemy. Lord.”

“That old Medusa is usually the second most cunning. ”

“I'll be sure to find it. I can't stand the anxiety of losing her like this. ”

“Please. This is very important. ”

I was exploring the city and got out knowing that there was no point in staying. The Demon King Ahunde didn't even have a chance to rebuild it by letting a portion of the Rhine's waterway flow into the city.

Perhaps that was an abandoned city. It was sad, but not one or two cities were destroyed by the Demon King in such a way to the Empire.

“Let's go back. This stench is unbearable. ”

I bit the cavalry and headed for Brazzah. My mind was complicated as I was organizing my plans going forward. So I changed my mind and opened the status window. You have not checked the latest level up.

25% Physical Resistance (Boiling Abyssal Blessing)

It was a stat window that was becoming increasingly lavish. The new skill was also great. It was a SS grade skill.

“Wow... I'm going to try this out. ”

Something in the past crossed my mind. This skill creates a shield using the user's magical power.

So if anyone wants to kill me, I have to hit a horsepower of 3,120. And only then will I face my HP of 4,180.

From the point of view of an attack, it is literally foaming at the mouth. The health of the opponent is like a sudden burst of energy. I even regenerate with a Class S Warrior Skill.

You're getting closer and closer to the ultimate cockroach.

< Once you reach Skilled Level 10, you can temporarily transform your body into a new being by combining magical power and ultimate unity. >

“Hmm?"

What is this? I've been thinking about it, but I still don't know. I've never seen anyone use so much blood or tearless before.

When I saw Nuance, I felt like I was becoming one with magic and becoming a higher being. I didn't know what was waiting for me, but I was excited.

That way, I returned to Braizah in a pleasant way, and I had some unexpected news waiting for me.

“Balor!”

Valpurgis rarely gives in.

“What's the matter? ”

“The entire west side of the Rhine has fallen to the Demon King Arunde! ”

“That's true! ”

I was so surprised that I grabbed Valpurgis' shoulder with both hands and asked again.

“Yes. General Gugushirak has been beheaded and all his commanders have pledged allegiance to the Demon King Abunde. ”

“Oh, my God!"

This is ridiculous. I couldn't figure out what was going on. I urgently instructed them to gather relevant information.

He also spoke with Roelin on the Innsbruck front. And a few days later, I was able to understand the message through the rain.

“I can't believe I'm going to use the Dark Oath like that.... ”

“So, Balor, because of the dark oath, the Demon King Ahunde could not even set foot west of the Rhine, but because of the Declaration of Independence?" ”

“That's right. The Declaration of Independence was inspired by the Demon King Arunde. ”

“… I'm really surprised. ”

Valpurgis was amazed. I can't see his face, but he's probably out of his mind right now. Soon she added her reasoning.

“Then I guess it was all a hoax to the east of the Rhine. Didn't the Demon King take care of Celia while we were fighting? As you can see, the Sawyer Horses hatched on a massive scale in Rheinfelden and subsequently devoured west of the Rhine River. ”

I was also as insightful as she, who was a literary opponent.

“We won the fight, but the Demon King won the battle. ”

I nod as if I agree.

“I was completely beaten. I knew the Demon Lord Ahunde was good at tactics, but I didn't know he was so good at strategic perspectives like this. ”

As my voice fills with water, Valpurgis pulls the chair right next to me and grabs my hand. And then he shakes his head as if it were something he had to do.

“This was unexpected. If our reasoning is correct, she has abandoned 5,000 soldiers. Balor, would you and I be able to use 5,000 soldiers as scraps? ”

I was struck by her question. And I came to the conclusion that I couldn't. I have a strong attachment to my enemies.

You cannot send 5,000 frozen soldiers to die. At least that's not what I thought victory was.

But the Demon King suddenly did it. He was a monstrous, rational monster.

“I can't. By the way, even if I did, I'd be scared to death." It's tempting to be able to deal with 5,000 hostiles. ”

The Demon King Ahunde benefited greatly from his bold numbers. Strasbourg, Belfeld, Shredstadt, and Jenheim were all occupied on the west side of the Rhine.

It also gained the power to call itself the Great Lord in a single moment, including over 200,000 enslaved urban residents, vast agricultural areas and various production facilities. If you think so, you gave 5,000 soldiers and did a decent remaining business.

“Balor, it may have been the Devil King's big plan all along. ”

“From the Demon King Pezamut's deployment? ”

“That's right. It's unnatural, in a way, for Pezamut to come and go to Innsbruck. ”

She pointed out that I stopped talking. There was heavy silence between us. I've been thinking over and over again. How do we do this?

Then I finally opened my mouth.

“I have a plan to solve this situation. ”

“Is that true? ”

Valpurgis shakes his head at me if he didn't know I had a plan even in this situation.

“I have two tricks. ”

“I'm surprised you have two tricks in this situation! Can you tell her that, too? ”

“Of course. One towards the west of the Rhine, and the other toward Lake Boden, home of the Demon King Ahunde. ”

I told him I couldn't tell him about the plot against Lake Boden right now.

“You can't just say that out loud. Tell me when you need my help. ”

“Very well. Let me tell you a plan for the western part of the Rhine. ”

“I'll listen.”

Valpurgis straightens his stance and listens to me. I pointed the map at her and went into the explanation.

“Currently occupied by the Demon King Arunde, the Upper West Side of the Rhine River. So if you go further west from Strasbourg and Bellefeld and so forth, here's the Mosel River. ”

“Yes. The ruins are all that's left." ”

“That's right, cities like Luxembourg, Titonville and Thule along the Mosel have been burned to the ground for a long time. It was Jacquere the Fire Lord. ”

After the massacre, Jacquere, the Fire Lord, made the west side of the Mosel his territory. Like the vanquished Demon King, there was not one human left to burn.

“No way, Balor. Are you trying to bring in Jacques, the Fire Lord? ”

“That's right. The Demon King of Fire and the Demon King of Water are arch-enemies. If Jacques, the Demon Lord of Fire, were to cross the Mosel and attack west of the Rhine, King Ahunde would be in great trouble. ”

One of the main reasons why the Demon Lord was unable to gather his strength was because of the conflict between the Demon Lord of Fire and the Demon Lord of Water, two of the Demon Lord of the Demon Clan.

In fact, the peace in the southwestern part of the empire has been greatly appreciated by the conflict between the two Demon Kings. We hardly made it to the Southwest to keep each other under control.

“But wear it. ”

Valpurgis protested. Jacquere the Fire Lord is having a terrible fight with his predecessor. Then Valpurgis claps his hands.

“Now it turns out that the Demon King of Water has done his job knowing that the Demon King of Fire is in complete restraint. The more intent it reveals, the more terrifying the Demon King really is. ”

“I agree. It would have been the perfect time for the Demon King Arunde. And I would have done a lot for that. ”

“No way. The quarrel between Jacquere the Fire Lord and Trier is also the work of the Demon King Ahunde?" ”

“…… No way. ”

I have no idea. But for a moment, we felt a chill. Not that I know of. But the closer I got to that onion, the more something new was coming out of the Demon King.

“Hah... ”

I thought this body would be the first in the Empire if I thought it was dark inside, but it's not that far. I was ashamed of the way I am today.

Better fraud... No, we need to master strategies and tactics.

“Anyway, wear it. Jacquere, the Fire Lord, is currently unable to mount an army due to his predecessor, Trier. But how can you drag him west of the Rhine?

Her question was obvious. But I folded my arms and smiled.

“There is a way. ”

This is it now. When I heard that the Fire Lord was suddenly approaching from behind, I wondered what Medusa would look like.
