Next Life

"Is that true?

Rubens had doubts about the report from Franklin and was listening back unexpectedly.

I didn't know Aulanis was back in the old days.

"Yeah, what do you want to do?

Rubens had been thinking about Franklin's question for not a short time, but eventually he answered.

"I don't have a choice. Crush Berganda first."

"Yes, where would you like to go after that?

Franklin asked in such a tone that the mother asked the child what he wanted to eat.

Rubens' tone of answer was also casual.

"Berganda and all the countries adjacent to it. Attack, destroy."

Copy that.

After an extremely dangerous exchange with humanity, Rubens sighed.

Aulanis is self-respecting and heavenly seamless, but such a development was completely unimaginable.

To be honest, I had Ate the power of Aulanis to fight Marius, but I anticipated the very possibility that you wouldn't be able to cooperate.

That's why Rubens is taking Gaelic and Mergen and acting separately from Alberto and the others.

"I didn't know Master Aulanis was already back..."

"It seems like it would be nice if we had a word of news."

Mergen, in Gaelic order.

Neither of them could hide their confusion.

"That's the way it is, Master Aulanis. Sophia and Iris were always swinging around."

Rubens' words were mixed with nostalgia besides fright.

The demon Sophia and the demon Iris were senior demons near Aulanis, and both were familiar to Rubens.

I don't hear about either of them being defeated, so maybe they brought their husband back to life.

I don't think it was their choice, such as informing Rubens beforehand.

To the extent of exchanging words if you see them even when you say they are familiar, they were not like actively exchanging information or acting together.

And it depends on Aulanis' mood at that time whether he teaches that the seal has been unsealed.

That's all I understood.

"You're probably on other continents.... because this continent is safe."

Rubens concludes in a noisy way.

The horror and strength of Aulanis cannot be very expressed in words.

The plan went crazy, but Rubens didn't put the matter in his attitude and spoke to Gaelic and Mergen, who were waiting for instructions.

"As planned, Franklin and the others will move and then we'll go into Philato."

"Ha."

They were on their way to Holdia to revive Decarabia, and now they were inside Lanreou.

When travelers crossed the border, they were checked for identity, but the three broke through with dignity.

I'm sorry to blame the soldier in charge for his eyes being a milestone.

Gaelic was able to disguise himself with skills that even his family and best friends didn't realize, and Rubens and Mergen were disguised with magic items.

If you are a first-rate wizard or you may have found it uncomfortable, it is the human state that does not have that many people in charge of identity checks and such at the border.

Make it Marius. Make it others, I didn't imagine the Devil would cross the border in discipline.

This is humiliating to the Demon, of course, but Rubens is not going to have put himself behind humanity otherwise.

If we passed the filato in the usual way, we stomped on Marius and Zophi as being in danger of being detected.

Being human is one of the roles, Gaelic seemed somewhat dissatisfied with Mergen anyway, but he was not foolish enough to understand the dangers of Marius, and didn't say anything.

Knowing that Marius was unlikely, Rubens nevertheless used Franklin and the others instead for safety.

It was humiliating for Rubens, who cared about his people.

After finishing his call with Rubens, Franklin turned to his friends.

We were meeting once before we made contact.

"First they crush Berganda, then they attack all the neighboring countries."

Labella whistled and Gastark clapped his hand to express his joy.

Until now it has been a radical order like a lie.

"You're somewhat belligerent, Mr. Rubens.... Well, that was the limit of patience, that's fine."

Alberto only questioned it for a moment, but immediately struck it off.

He was short-tempered and belligerent like a label.

Rather, moderate and calm Franklin and Pal are a minority.

"I'll be busy."

Gastark was also burning his fighting spirit.

I couldn't help but imagine that the undead soldiers I created would ravage the nation of humanity.

Only Pal had determined the same faceless expression, but suddenly he moved his pickles and brows.

"Dear Franklin, Dear Alberto"

The two senior demons understood the meaning of the call.

The vast majority are approaching us from afar.

Ten and eighty-nine, he shall be the soldiers of men who perceived the anomaly.

"Yeah, you're here just in time"

"Ha, I'll put you up for a blood festival"

The signs of the two demons, who were calm, turn into swordswallows.

"How dare you crush a country, if you're dicking around, you eat time. We'll do it, but you're not complaining, are you?

It is mainly Labella and Gastark that Alberto inquired about.

You can't possibly refuse a de facto order, and the two snorted.

"Then lower the zombies. You can clean up with me and Franklin."

Alberto had a vicious grin.

Pal, Rabella and Gastark, who don't want to eat the convolutions, honestly retreat into the castle gate.

The regular Berganda army approaches from afar.

"Franklin, why don't we compete over which one kills a lot?

Franklin raised only one eyebrow when he made a hell of a suggestion.

"I don't mind, but please count it in good detail. You're always a pain in the ass."

Alberto nodded as he smashed his tongue to an opinion close to his sermon.

"I know. It's not boring to cheat and win."

Franklin trusted Alberto on that point.

Even if it's a big mess and a short temper, it doesn't have the same personality to commit misconduct against your peers.

"Hey, are you complimenting me, that?

Franklin answered Alberto's question with a gentle smile.

"You are a good enough comrade to trust. Isn't that enough?

"... I feel like I've been teased, but no"

Franklin is not the one who can win with his mouth.

Alberto gave up early and turned to the Berganda army.

"We'll do the offense at the same time like it's fair, okay?

"Yes."

Did the Berganda army finally notice the demon, finally slowing down the march a kilometer or so ago, but it was already too late.

I was in the range of Alberto's and Franklin's attacks.

Alberto refines his whole body's magic and protrudes his right fist like a positive fist poke.

A shock wave emitted from his fist makes a sound that rips the air apart and strikes the Berganda army.

The Berganda army had no idea what had happened.

The soldiers on my side blew up and heard the sound.

Alberto's specialty "Sonic Shot" is in principle the same as "Far Away" we call it in human martial arts.

Fly what you have worked out and defeat the enemy without touching it.

However, power and range were completely separate from that of man.

Alberto's native species, Griffon, is a warcraft specializing in turning magic into shockwaves.

Franklin, on the other hand, normally used human magic.

"Would you like to synthesize a bit? [Inferno] [Clay Assault] [Plasma Storm]"

The synthetic magic "Inferno" of dark and flame-based magic, the synthetic magic "Clay Assault" of earth-based and water-based magic, and the synthetic magic "Plasma Storm" of flame-based and lightning-based magic are all considered to be first-degree magic, close to an unlimited curse.

Despite releasing it with chant omissions, Franklin was flat without a sweat on top of being extremely destructive.

The Berganda soldiers were burned with black flames, swallowed by earthquake streams and evaporated with plasma.

Franklin's native species, Sphinx, as a monster, specializes in magical attacks utilizing exceptionally superior intelligence and powerful magic.

Being a demon is enough to kick a bunch of leading human wizards together.

Not to mention being a senior demon.

Two hundred thousand Belganese troops who came to rescue the Imperial Capital have been wiped out.

… a few days from now, the name of the Berganda Empire will be erased from history.

For this country to be saved, the real demon was too strong.

When the Demon Army was beginning to wield fierceness in the east, in the west, the coalition of three nations, Mithra, Balshark and Vester, were showing fast advances.

Although the border fortifications were occupied there, the surrounding cities are ruling under control, and the mood for victory is beginning to spread early in the country.

Jessica, king of Balshark, and Frederick, president of Mithra, for their own vows, could not deny it.

It was too surprising that resistance on the part of Holdia was weak, but a large number of voices have said that the disruption caused by domestic reforms is likely to be significant.

Neither Jessica nor Frederick have much suspicion.

Human beings are creatures who commit failures, and in the case of a system that thinks and decides everything on its own, like Asteria, irrevocable failures are also to be dismissed.

The subordinates must have been unable to speak up even assuming the possibility of failure, I expected.

Not at all out of focus on this point, by the way.

Asteria did not solemnize those who spoke, but accepted and did not change her policy.

It's just hard to say that the coalition was smooth and full of sails, too.

It was necessary to modify the plan because it could not be looted at all and the slaves and hardware to be sold were not available.

Without the inhabitants, neither tax revenues nor crop harvests are expected, nor does the kind of merchants and travellers donate during the war.

It will be necessary to colonize the people from the country in order to secure revenues.

But I was just hesitant to get that far, even though it didn't even hit Holdia fatally.

If Holdia turns to a backlash, instead of the military, there could be damage to the people, and that must be avoided most.

That's why it's "just hit the Holdians".

And we decided to send reinforcements.

This is why Chandler tongues and Gareth has his head.

Randall was still better than the others because King Johnson hasn't changed his cautious attitude without joy.

However, the theory of aggressiveness is starting to prevail over the theory of prudence in the country, and in that sense, it's not very good.

I hate that only Balshark and Mithra occupy the city.

Johnson was high in pride to be flat, even if he thought he was disappointed or incompetent, even though the king had absolute authority.

"Give Randall an order to keep the delicious part in check."

Thus there was a slight time difference, and Randall joined the other two generals.

"Is this an operation that creates a temperature difference from the scene?

Chandler asked Gareth and Randall.

These three are rapidly getting along, I think.

"And beyond that is the measure of separation? I don't know, do you want to imitate your own territory just for that?

Randall answers unusual and unpleasant after drinking bean soup.

"Sort of. Even if we don't get along well with our own country, there's just another general coming. Of course, there is a chance that the opponent will win more..."

Gareth also shakes his neck as he hits the chicken skewer.

In the end, this day was inconclusive, and we broke up with the promise that we would not fail to exchange information on a regular basis.

They were still unaware of the anomaly in the east at this time.

In other words, it would have missed the biggest opportunity to withdraw to the country.
