Running Away From The Hero!

# 62 What they say: What some soldiers say

No matter how much I thought about it, this wasn't it.

The boss smiling brightly at us was like a nightmare.

“So, you're all here, right? ”

They were all there.

I hated it, but can we not gather together when we call it the Holy Father?

Nothing. When we do not gather, we rebel against the imperial order.

It was a felony to be executed, not only for immediate disposition, but also for family members.

So I had no choice.

“My children, the king has opened a banquet to say good work! ”

He was invited to the supper of hell, but he had nowhere to run.

“Come on, eat! ”

And the organizer of the Hell Supper ripped off the leg of a well-baked chicken and took it to his mouth as if nothing had happened.

“Oops……. ”

At that moment, I felt something rising from my body.

Maybe if you had breakfast, you'd really be out.

But the guts that had been cleaned out since a few days ago couldn't be spilled anymore.

“What are you doing, not eating? Lots of good stuff. ”

It was definitely the best dinner.

The food that was emitting hot vapors was so attractive that the aroma alone enhanced appetite.

There will never be an opportunity to eat this level of food on the battlefield again.

You don't get to eat this much food in your everyday life.

They were such excellent food.

But there is no appetite.

“Seo, do I have to eat? ”

The one who was trembling slightly was the new royal butler chosen by Her Majesty and the devil Lord Astor's successor Maref.

“I have no appetite.... ”

It was Maref who avoided Sir Ast's gaze, rolling his lost eyes everywhere.

“It's an order. Eat it. ”

“Ah……. ”

Lord Ast asked me to eat food calmly, even in Maref's desperate face.

Sir Ast stared at Maref dazed on his chicken leg and said to him, "Would you like some of this? ’I recommended one other food.

By the way, the food is bread.

It was an ordinary bread, but it was characterized by dark red jam.

And at the same time,

Qazi! Shhh!

Behind Sir Astor's back, handing him bread like he was aiming for timing, a picture of a human head exploding from a video tool shot of the last battle begins.

“Here, I'll eat! ”

For some reason, the dark red jam looked like human blood.

That's why Maref's only option would have been one.

Tears squeaking and gnawing at the chicken leg looked very sad, but I couldn't worry about Maref.

“Well, that sounds delicious. Now, let's eat other people's food. As you know, this food was given to you by the Empress herself. Enjoy your meal and thank the Emperor for his generosity! ”

Was it the mood?

Ser Ast poured grape juice into the glass, emphasizing the emperor's words.

“I can't drink wine on the wire, but I'm sure a grape juice with no juice would be fine. ”

I'd rather drink alcohol. I wanted to lose my mind because I was drunk.

I didn't think I would be able to stay sane otherwise.

However, what was poured into the glass was a red grape juice that did not contain alcohol.

It was also a very dark red... juice that looked like human blood.

“Ah……. ”

Your Majesty, why are you giving us this trial?

What the hell did Sir Ast say that allowed you to do this?

What have we done wrong?

“What are you doing, not eating? Imperial decree?”

We hear Ser Ast's icy voice with our frustrated ears staring at fat food.

“Oh, I see. ”

We, who did not refuse to be called the Emperor, take the food with trembling hands and put it in our mouths.

I closed my eyes tightly, so I felt fine.

“It's good, isn't it? ”

“It's... delicious. ”

“Here, have some grape juice. Look at this red light. Very high-end?”

“Yes, yes…. ”

When I received the dark red grape juice, I closed my eyes and started drinking the juice.

Sweet and thick.

“Tasty, isn't it?"

“Yes……. ”

So we drink even more blood like grape juice, and we start the Wet Feast...

“Why are you so depressed? This is food from the Great Emperor and the Queen Dowager! You should enjoy it!”

At the moment he was about to, Sir Ast told us in his contemplation.

“Yes?”

“Smile.”

We were overwhelmed by that cold expression.

“Ha, ha, ha! ”

“Hahahaha!”

… we realized that there was no freedom to cry.

# 63 Their Reason: A General's Terror

It gave me goose bumps the whole time I was reading the report.

“Ha… ha… ha… ”

Every time I pass one, I feel out of breath.

Scary. Scary. I don't want to fight these guys.

And… I don't want to see this report anymore.

Despite that desire, I was forced to turn over the pages of the report.

“Gulp!”

But this was my mission.

It was the information gathered by those who risked their lives to hide in the Empire.

Although all spies above the ranks of officers were dealt with before the war began, there were quite a few survivors.

Their goal is to investigate rumors among soldiers or the atmosphere within the army.

Although they did not obtain advanced information, their goal was to provide a sense of military disposition through the approximate situation and atmosphere of the military.

“Ah……. ”

And we can describe our enemy's predisposition in just two words.

Light, and evil.

It was truly an army of evil gods.

“How can a human...? ”

It was war.

It was a war that killed tens of millions of lives a day.

For the benefit of our allies, war was a means and means to an end.

That's why we know that there will be no extradition in war.

But this was something else.

“I laughed madly as I watched an ally die and enjoyed the dinner. Watching our friends' blood flow through the wine was like drinking our blood. ”

It didn't happen during the battle.

After the battle, I watched the video and enjoyed the feast of blood.

It was not a means to win, but a means to enjoy it, but to watch the mercenaries die.

“God, why do these people exist...? ”

Dead allies will not be able to go to God's side because they are unfair.

It's unfair to be dead, and the enemy enjoys a feast watching a video of themselves dying!

This was an insult. It shouldn't have been war.

“What should I do...?" ”

I felt like gathering all the forces in the kingdom and killing all the enemies.

I wanted to appease my allies by killing and killing them.

But I couldn't. It was because I couldn't afford it.

“Ah... If only General Aricetias had lived..." ”

An ally has been defeated.

General Aricetias, the pillar of an ally, died because of his nonsense that magic was unstoppable.

The defeat alone could have demoralized our allies, but the General and pillar died.

Friendly morale has dropped to a point where it can't be further away.

“The devil's magic……. ”

The soldiers watched the unstoppable magic of the empire and feared that the Karan Empire had sold their souls to the devil to learn demonic magic.

It was a ridiculous rumor.

It was just a rumor that the soldiers' fear had created them.

How can you not know as an informant that all kinds of rumors begin to circulate in the defeated troops?

I certainly thought so. Until I see this report.

“No way…. ”

Did you really learn magic by selling your soul to the devil?

Every single one of the enemy's actions was crazy enough to be suspicious.

“There's a... possibility... ”

It was just shocking that I enjoyed the dinner while watching a friend's video, but I couldn't ignore the other things in the report.

< At night, some of the barracks hear strange crying. >

< I can't say for sure because of the light, but I have seen some barracks eating something that looks like a human form. >

< Occasionally among the executives‘ Devil... …. I hear ’. >

< [More Information] I've heard from senior military officials that demons exist. The enemy is thought to have a summoner capable of summoning demons. >

“Is this really the Devil's magic……. ”

The kingdom was forced to take a defensive stance now.

Magic cannot be stopped by magic.

Until I learned about the magic, I had to curl up as much as I could.

If you don't know, there's no way someone can move like a fool in a situation...

“... Not really. ”

It gave me goose bumps again. It was a different meaning than when I checked information about the Empire.

I was terrified. I was terrified. I was very scared... ….

I wanted to say all the similar words I could use.

Evaluations such as Empire.

But the content was completely different.

“You... blew it again. ”

I checked the other reports and put my head on the incoming headache.

What time is it?

“What do I have to do to defeat an enemy that's three times different? ”

Anyone who relies on the wall to defend himself could understand.

You'd think it could be a surprise.

However,

“We tried to ambush them first, and they didn't fail, so how can we lose? ”

This was a terrifying gift.

They all try to attack by themselves in violation of the Army's policy to take defensive action.

The enemy who was bludgeoned allowed an ambush, but the opponent began to apprehend the troops and stop them.

Deals over 4,000 damage to enemies, but allies say close to 10,000 casualties.

“This is called a ball.... ”

And proudly submit it to the military as public.

“Why was this Duke of Lysha born...?" ”

I felt sorry for him.

The Kingdom of Mercia is essentially smaller than the Karean Empire. The territory is small, the population is small, and the military is small.

A proportion of the Soldiers in the Kingdom of Mercia were large, but could not overcome the vast territory of the Empire and the population from its territory.

Nevertheless, it was all thanks to the great power of the Kingdom of Mercia that he was judged to have a military force comparable to that of the Empire.

But the late Aricethias, the pillar, died. Because of one defeat.

“How can someone like this not die...? ”

He was Duke Relligius Luisa, who had already survived nearly ten defeats.

There is a doubt that the blood has gone, compared to the late Duke of Risha, whom even the Marquis of Aricetias said he admired.

Being full of greed and desire without the ability to possess it.

And yet... a strange creature who came back alive and well.

“Another defeat and the defenses on this side will fall. ”

It was already a thin defensive line with several defeats.

When Duke Laisha, who had been defeated as before, took command of the monarch who defended the castle with his title and power, there might be a way to advance to the capital of the kingdom.

“I can't help it. ”

If the enemy advances from the age of 11 to the capital, the Kingdom of Mercia will be finished.

So we should send Duke Raisha's troops to the other front...

“Duke Laisha has ears, so he won't do anything stupid. ”

No matter how stupid he is, he knows something about magic that can't be stopped.

You're not stupid enough to run to someone with that kind of magic.

“Wouldn't you?”

I was doubtful for a moment, but I still believed that his faction was human and sent his troops to the area that would be better against the First Empress.

Duke Laisha, the men guarding him, they were the best.

So... I hope you can fix this, right?

... a month later.

“This is an urgent call from the top! Duke Raisha has engaged Empress I! ”

“Ah... Psst. ”

I've come to realize that Duke Laisha's head is an ornament.
