"What - huh!?

He is forced to drag him back from his sleep with a roar and shock, and jumps off the simple sleeping table.

Garnett, who slept next door, was also already in a state of battle, sharpening his mind without alarm against the signs outside the tent.

"Hostile attack? No, it looks like it..."

"Something happened... in the direction of Demon King's Castle?

We nod at each other and jump out of the tent.

Outside, it's still a dim step ahead of dawn, where the rocky ceiling is slightly regaining its brightness.

There was no way the camp was under attack, but soldiers, knights, and defensive adventurers rushed around busily, calling for them not to leave the tent until safety was confirmed.

Call off one of them and ask them what the hell happened.

"Ma, I don't know the details yet! But apparently, the Dragon Avoidance junction surrounding Castle Town has been destroyed!

"What...!?

A Dwarf evacuation camp and a garrison of siege troops of the Golden Tooth Knights are present in the castle town of Demon King Castle.

The loss of the connections that surround it means that Dwarves and knights will be exposed to dragon threats.

This guy is clearly in bad shape.

Because of this, we have completed the siege in the form of locking the Demon King's Army in the castle, but we are to be attacked from behind by a wild threat called the Dragon.

"White Wolf's. Surely the dragon here..."

"Oh, it's basically daylight. It's time to fly around looking for breakfast."

If the junction stone had been destroyed and rendered ineffective, a quick [repair] request would undoubtedly fly.

But it's too late to get ready to leave later.

To get everything ready before they call me, me and Garnett took it back to the tent and geared it up in a big hurry.

And just after I was ready, a voice was thrown calling me from outside the tent.

"Lord Luke! I have a request from the Force Leader!

"Okay, I'm coming!

Jump out of the tent onto the horse that was ready and rush to the ruins of the castle town with a knight's escort.

I'm not a good rider. I have them riding behind the garnet, but the knights are wearing armor, so it's not so different in terms of weight and speed.

"Hey, golden fangs! What the hell is going on!

"The information is still complex! But I'm pretty sure all four junction stones in Castle Town were destroyed at the same time!

"At the same time huh!?

One of the knights answers Garnett's yelling question without even hiding his frustration.

The cause of the frustration was clearly not Garnett, but this anomaly which appeared to have occurred abruptly.

"The Demon King's Castle is perfectly surrounded and thoroughly monitored! We'll see if there's any ambushes! Consolidate the protection of the junction stone! You still think you got smashed by surprise! And at the same time!"

Garnett raises all the questions at once, shaken by a horse running at full speed.

"He says he's not catching up on the status quo! Plus if it was a very small number of scouts, it could have been lurking!

"The Golden Fang Squad isn't as proficient as getting hit by that number! If they're the demon generals, they might still be..."

Garnett breathed in his own remarks, and bitterly bit his back teeth.

"- That's it. Definitely."

"What?

When I asked for a detailed explanation over my shoulder, Garnett replied with a voice that the other knights could hear.

"I'm sure the Demon King's Army decided to cage Castle with the Demon General out of the castle! A small number of actions can lurk without finding them, and the strength of Norzuri can break through the defense forces of the junction stone!

"So you don't have the highest power in Demon King Castle right now!?

"Maybe! Damn brains, what a demon king!

The demon king's army destroyed the castle town and tightened up the dwarf, and proceeded himself and pulled to the demon king's castle to take up the cage castle structure.

It was not until afterwards that the Golden Tooth Knights besieged Demon King Castle.

The laying of a thorough siege net by the Knights made it impossible to send personnel outside without being noticed.

Even if ambush units were planted before the siege, it would be extremely difficult to escape the mindful eye of the enemy, and only a very small group or solo action could be hidden -

"(But if Garnett's hypothesis, I'll poke that gap!

Leave the Four Demons, alone and resistant to digits, lurking outside the castle before being besieged, to assault at any time.

This would certainly allow you to dive through the Golden Tooth Knights' vigilance net and take a strong blow.

But no matter what you think, it's a high-risk high-return tactic.

Defense must be significantly reduced beyond being an operation to lurk the highest forces protecting Demon King Gandalf and Demon King's Castle.

In other words, Gandalf the Demon King has set up an operation without even hating to risk his own life.

"Golden fangs! Do you have any information that the Rear Cauldron of the consumed Demon General has been decided!

"This is confidential, but I'll release it on my authority! Information suggesting the resurrection of the Demon General was obtained from Dwarf! I also want you to consider the possibility of re-engagement with Demon General Norzuri!

Demon General Norzuri - The moment I heard his name, Garnett blatantly tongued him.

Once, Garnett and Sakura were defeated by Ice Norzuri.

Though it was hard enough to argue with my hands, that was a giant killer after a miraculous pile of coincidences.

The chances of it working again for Norzuri are definitely zero.

"Don't worry. You can't lose this time."

"I'm counting on you."

I can put my strength into my hand grabbing Garnett's shoulder by saying that in a low voice.

Garnett accelerated the horse to respond to it.

"Lord Luke of the White Wolf Forest! Going ahead is where the battle is already over! No sign of the Raiders! [REPAIR] of the junction stone as soon as possible, please!

"Okay! Leave it to me!

"Come on, White Wolf's. Demon King's plan, let's smash him!

Then, less than a minute later, we arrive at a small stronghold that was defending the junction stone.

The small stronghold was ravaged by countless giant rock thorns protruding from the ground, causing all the ground buildings to collapse and the crushed large junction stones to be completely wild.

Slip between knights and soldiers with Garnet's skillful handrail judgment and jump over the remnants of the base building to reach just in front of the junction stone.

I jump off my horse like I roll off, and Garnett gets off my horse quickly.

Hit the pouch to activate the Demon Stone's Automatic Magic Supply Mechanism, infusing the crushed junction stone with the magic of [Repair].

Make sure to follow the crushing process in reverse, and instantly the large junction stone will sit in its original place.

And even the dragon was emitted a wave of magic that drives it away, informing all soldiers of the complete restoration of its functions.

"Okay, next!

The next moment I left the side of the junction stone and ran out towards Garnett, the ground at my feet vibrated violently and I almost fell unexpectedly.

"Gu......!

"Dangerous! White Wolf's!

All of a sudden, Garnett poked at me and rolled over the ground holding me like that.

Shortly afterwards, a giant 'arm' protruded from where I was until a moment ago, gripping things that were on the ground.

"Kakaka. You may fail. Wow. Some of them were good children."

A giant earthly figure emerges from the ground as it rocks the earth and blows the remains of the stronghold.

It was precisely a substitute for one of the four demonic generals of the Demon King's Army, Vestri of the earth, who made the manipulated earthly figure immense.
