The Death Mage Who Doesn’t Want a Fourth Time
Three hundred and seventy-five stories, when the mountains literally move.
Vandaloo had prepared a response to the Duke of Sauron, assuming a number of things. But the factor that determines it is whether Elizabeth wants or does not want the Duke of Sauron territory.
Hope means that Elizabeth wishes to protect the Duke of Sauron or to be safe. Not wanting it is if you were indifferent to "whatever happens".
Even if they don't want to, Vandaloo and the others will not actively destroy the Duke of Sauron or lead them to ruin it. Naturally. Vandaloo is a Vida believer with love, so he doesn't deliberately hunt down and trample innocent people.
After the complete isolation of the former Autonomous Community of Scylla, the live activities of the Canakos and the visit of Dalcia, like the other Duke territories, Vandaloo himself, would have just wandered around to guide the people. Unlike other Duke territories, the Duke of Sauron ignores the fact that the territory borders the enemy nation, the State of the Holy Land of Amid, the Milg Shield State.
Afterwards, even if armies from the Mirg Shield Nation attacked and went to war, they would only respond normally. Move as an ally if requested assistance by the Orbaum-elected kingdom. Assist supplies to the same extent as regular allies, and arrange reinforcements through the Adventurer Alliance. But that's all.
Kunochen will never be sent as a moving fortress, Boeks or Vigalo will storm around on the front line, or Sam will be active in the transportation of supplies.
Of course, we will do everything we can to help those who led us, and we will also help to reclaim the territories occupied by the Holy Nation of Amid. But by then the government of the Duke of Sauron should be devastated.
Vandaloo feels no value to Rudel Sauron and the others who truncated the Iris Resistance of "The Princess Knight of Liberation". For Gufadgaan, who can open the [Gate of Transfer], and for him following the Quattro and Sam traveling through the sky, the Holy Land of Amid… "God of Law and Life" Alda and his hero, Heinz, to kill, the Duke of Sauron does not need it.
Some of their companions are from the territory of the Dukes of Qasim and Sauron, but their homeland, the village, has not been destroyed and remains when the Amid Empire attacked.
Neither does the return home of the facades of Illis or the Resistance remain on the Duke of Sauron's territory.
Still, I didn't kill Rudell Sauron and the others before, because I didn't feel worth killing. And I could not think of any reason to kill him.
Besides, I felt something different about Elise and Elizabeth not wanting Rudell and the others dead but killing him without needing themselves.
As for the Sacred Nation of Amid, it could also be abandoned because even if it attacked the Duke of Sauron's territory, it would not be able to attack the Vidal Demon Empire separated by the border mountains. However, since there are so many Vida followers, the Vandaloos may have broken off their fighting power for rescue, though they might have been attacked in the end.
None of the Darcias disagreed with this idea. That is because there is confidence in Vandaloo that the soldiers of the Holy Nation of Amid will end up stopping if they start genocide against ordinary people and the anticipation that no matter how much power the Holy Nation of Amid divides into an invasion of the Duke of Sauron territory, the war should end soon if they settle for the battle against Vandaloo and Alda.
At the same time, it means that the average person thinks that if there is some degree of blood to be shed without being slaughtered, and even if it is a war, it doesn't matter for a short period of time.
Vandaloo did not teach Elizabeth these thoughts until she was critical. It was to avoid the useless influence of Elizabeth's decisions on her, although they were important to her.
As for Vandaloo, I don't think Elizabeth has a destiny. I don't even feel like she should be a duke. I just don't think it's best to live in peace.
I just want Elizabeth to live the way she wants. That's the same for Maheria, for Zona, for Macto and for Joseph and Torus.
But Elizabeth really chose to be Duke like him. At the end of the graduation ceremony, he had a weak voice saying, "I don't want to graduate," but he should have genuinely chosen to become Duke of Sauron.
To that evidence, I didn't say, "I don't want to be a duke". To put it this way, Vandaloo can do something about it... even though he knows it's possible to brainwash Rudell into a puppet or turn Vidal into a puppet.
So Vandaloo revealed herself on the spot to give her a push.
And Vandaloo was now in a castle in the Duke of Sauron territory. He made a serious appointment with an exchange official in a friendly country who said, "Stay at this time, because we have important stories to talk about," and took several of his men into custody to occupy the castle's conference room and not escape Rudell or his side.
"If there are any undercover detectives diving into the Holy Land of Amid or its subordinate nations, call them back as soon as possible"
"And suddenly what!?
"Wait for me! I can't see the story!
Rudell and his men, who were free but could not escape by fitting their ankles, were baffled and frightened.
"I should have gotten off the Duke in the first place!
"From now on, please support Master Elizabeth as a civilian. Life or death, what do you want to do?
"Let me serve you alive!
"Stay alive, too!
"Don't forget to stay alive!
If I refuse, it will be made undead. So intuitive, Rudell and the others indicated their willingness to rejoin us and serve the civilian population. It should be noted that Elizabeth naturally plans to send an undead civilian who will not betray them apart. I have now completely changed my face, the undead, etc. who was the prime minister of my life.
"We do dispatch secret detectives, but when we return everyone...... it affects the fake identities and information networks they build. That could put your life at risk..."
A nobleman in charge of intelligence said so reluctantly near Rudell's former side, but Kurt, the deputy general, blocked his voice.
"But he wants us to return now because His Majesty will completely seal off the border between the Duke of Sauron and the Holy Land of Amid"
"... what?
Closure of the border. It is unrealistic in the environment of this world and in the technology that mankind can have.
It's wide to say border in a bite. There are not only plains, but also borders drawn among rivers, forests and mountains, and most importantly, there are demons, which are nests of dangerous demons.
We can seal off the barracks placed in forts and streets. However, it is unrealistic to construct a wall separating the entire border and to place soldiers for surveillance.
That's why Rudell and the nobleman in charge of the former intelligence organization thought they misheard.
"No, to the extent that border security has been tightened and sealed off, there is a way out that only the detectives and operatives know. It shouldn't be a problem."
"Regardless of the people who trade in clandestine trade illegally, those belonging to our Duke's intelligence organization lack the training and preparation to get in and out of the country even during times of tight border security."
It was the head of the intelligence organization and a nobleman close to him who said so, but things went well beyond their assumptions.
"So they're going to change the shape of the border mountains and seal off the border completely. An adventurer above A level might be able to come and go, but there wouldn't be that many armed snitches and operatives out there, would there?
A complete blockade of the border meant literally.
"If it takes time, I open the [transfer gate]. Ask them to tell you what they say and code to communicate with your current location."
And as we can see from the presence of Guffadgarn, Vandaloo wasn't going to take long.
Watching the earth tremble and roar, Miles Rouge, a vampire known by two names: 'Kissing' and now president of the Famine Wolf Security Company, had remembered the words he once said.
The boss will be able to move the border mountains as well. He said so with certainty.
"I didn't mean to be joking about it then either, and on the contrary, I meant it...... that would make my spine creep when I saw it actually moving through the mountains"
At the end of Miles' gaze, part of the Boundary Mountains was moving. It moans like a giant snake, slowly but from south to north.
Its altitude is thousands of meters. I could see the whole picture because I was away, but if I was close, I would have had to escape without room for emotion.
In fact, something is flying around over the mountains. There's no certainty because of the distance, but it's probably Wyburn or Hurricane Dragon.
The Boundary Mountains are filled with demons. That applies not only to the land separated by the mountains, but also to the mountains themselves. The demons must be surprised and frenzied by the sudden movement of the mountain range. If a lined adventurer or knight were involved, there wouldn't be a single clump.
But with Bachnawa and Pete, and Vandaloo on Sam, the devils flying around in the breadth are eaten one after the other.
Incidentally, the forces of Qasim and Hendriksen, led by Miriams, who had come live to the Duke of Sauron's territory against demons trying to escape to the ground rather than the air, have been deployed along the border. With tons of demons, undead, and even Pribels Scylla, demons that pop out of the demonic realm will be hunted before approaching people.
The Milg Shield Nation side, which will soon be completely separated in the mountains... will do something about it in its own country. I'm proud of the fort.
At least not from the side of the Olbaum kingdom, the enemy country, and from the side of the Vidal Demon Empire.
"Still, there are so many demons jumping out of the demonic realm from here. After all, maybe it's because my feet keep moving? Or..."
... Maybe the demons are not frenzied because the mountains are moving, but rather too panicked and frenzied to fear Bachnawa, Pete, and Vandaloo, who continues to use immense magic.
"Then the demon is pathetic, too. What do you guys think? I mean, the only person I've been talking to since just now is a weasel?
"Miles, Master Elizabeth and the others... seem to have passed out with their eyes open"
'I can't even...'
Here...... Miles was not the only one on the high ground with a view of the border between the Duke of Sauron and the Milg Shield State. Nemesis George, the father of fruit who dwells in Illis and his sword. And there were Elizabeth and the others.
But Elizabeth and the others remain rigid in front of the sight of the mountains moving, not even Pickle. Maybe he's really passed out.
"I'm better than a demon, don't worry about anyone getting involved. It's about His Majesty, so I think I'm doing it after I confirm what's going on around there."
"There must be no one in the mountains. In the first place, I didn't order you to climb the Boundary Mountains... and that was the mountain range behind the former Autonomous Community of Scylla. Adventurers must escape the Neck Hunter to reach the mountains."
"I see. So it's someone near the border who could get involved"
"That too, at least it shouldn't be on Sauron's side, Iris"
"I've been giving you good notice... and there's a boss at the beginning of the mountain range, so it's okay in case you're running late"
The area where the mountains now cross was between the fortifications of the Duke of Sauron and the fortifications of the Milg Shield Nation. Enemy countries even when it comes to borders. There have been a number of truce treaties in about 500 years of history, but there has never been a truce. In other words, even if I have promised to "take a break from war now," I have never explicitly promised to "fight is over."
If such countries are adjacent to each other's posts and fortifications, there will be skirmishes at four or six o'clock, and the drain will be intense, and things may grow from skirmishes to unexpected wars.
For this reason, there is a buffer zone between the border lines drawn to the map by both countries, which is not clearly specified which national territory.
It is the buffer zone through which the mountains pass. There will be adventurers collecting materials or criminals engaged in illegal clandestine trade.
The former have been notified to stay away from the buffer zone through the Adventurer Alliance.
Of course, it is possible that there are adventurers who leave before seeing the circular and continue to operate in the buffer zone as is. Besides, it's unlikely that hunters or pharmacists are breaking into the buffer zone to get prey and herbs.
You won't have to worry because Vandaloo and the others are checking at the beginning of the mountain range to keep those people out of the moving mountain range.
It should be noted that I have not been worried from the outset about merchants who are in close trade.
"Still, you're rolling. I thought I had the power to change the terrain myself, but His Majesty's, that's a different dimension of the scale."
"That's right."
Power enough to change the surrounding terrain. There are quite a few people with it in this world. If all you have to do is destroy the trees, rocks, and buildings that exist around you, then it's possible for a class B adventurer or a demon of rank 7 or higher. If you want to crack a mountain a few hundred meters in altitude, an A-class adventurer can do it.
In the case of Illis today, it would be possible to crack a mountain above a thousand meters of altitude if we squeezed all our strength and waved Nemesis George. It would be possible to penetrate the earth deeply and build a crater several hundred meters in diameter. That's the same for Miles on this occasion.
And the S-class adventurer's "True" Randolph, the "Rapid Thunder" Schneider, and the equivalent of the S-class adventurer's "Sword King" Borks, the "Bomb Killer" boners, the "Former Demon King" Godwin, and the gods Luvezford and Fidirg can change the terrain on a larger scale than that.
But they are all changes in terrain due to destruction. Iris and Miles thought it would be about Vandaloo who could change the terrain by change, like mountains thousands of metres in altitude changing the shape of a succession of mountain ranges, stretching them out and turning them into great walls.
In fact, a good magician can change the terrain somewhat, but not on this scale.
"Hey, wait a minute! Are you okay with this?
"When the boundary mountains are stretched with boundaries, I was taught before, can we move them?!?
"Plus, I think the ground and the groundwater veins are going to be difficult!?
Then Elizabeth and the others, who apparently returned to me, curled up quickly at Miles and Illis.
That's a good question.
In response to that, as Miles turned his gaze to the Macts, who had not asked, Joseph opened his mouth after they looked at each other and talked to each other in a hurry.
"When those mountain ranges move so high, I think the climate will change, but won't there be a problem?
Miles thought it was still a good question. The terrain also affects underground and far higher sky weather that is invisible from the surface. They are considered to be advanced knowledge that only professional scholars and magicians know in this world, and many ordinary people, of course, do not know if they are also scholars and magicians studying other fields.
Miles himself became Vandaloo's subordinate, then heard it as a chat from him, a knowledge he acquired by reading literature compiling the knowledge of the productive braves left behind in the Border Mountains.
"Well, I'll answer, but it's no problem. First of all, it's a bond, but they're moving it because it's not a bond."
The bond stretched by the Vidarian gods to prevent the eyes of the gods of the Arda forces and Rodocorte. That is not stretched out on all the mountains that make up the border mountains.
The junction may require less force to narrow the range of tension. For this reason, the Vidatian gods are united from the innermost mountains.
For this reason, moving otherwise mountains does not affect the juncture.
"And it's a matter of ground, but the boss isn't just goleming and reshaping and stretching the mountains. At the same time, we are going to create a rocky foundation to support the mountains in [Golem Genesis] on the ground where we will be riding the mountains."
If, after moving the mountain range, a large ground subsidence occurs without being able to support the mountain and the mountain altitude drops and becomes easier to exceed, it makes no sense. It is also difficult to compress the groundwater veins and wither the wells used in the villages and cities of the Duke of Sauron.
For this reason, Vandaloo is moving the mountain range by creating rock formations to prevent the mountains from sinking. I didn't explain the details, but they're not just laying rock beds on the ground, they're avoiding groundwater veins and making things like rock beds columns.
"I see. That's Your Majesty. I don't know, but I'm sure you'll be fine."
It should be noted that Illis didn't know very well.
"Iris, what are you..."
"No, it's all Godwin's fault"
Nemesis George defends that Miles, who puts his inner neck to wonder if Iris could have been such an unfortunate child, and that his daughter is just being taken time to work at her desk as Queen of the Devil's Nation, and is not studying.
"We'll do something about the weather, so we'll be fine. Because it should keep the rain from decreasing or increasing too much and there will be no more disasters.
How could it be your territory? "
It is troublesome that the Milg Shield Nation and the Orbaum Racing Kingdom, which belong to the Holy Nation of Amid, continue to exist, and Vandaloo will not get this far if you just want to separate them in the mountains.
I know Miles and Illis, but Vandaloo tries to help people who don't know their names, their faces, if they can afford it. But for that I will not sacrifice anyone close to me who knows my name and face.
It's all because this is the land that will be Elizabeth's ruling territory.
"Well, I appreciate that and I'm glad... there's one more thing I'd like to hear"
To Elizabeth, who blushed her cheeks with joy, Miles urged ahead, thinking she still had it.
"If you do this, you're not going to be treated like an extra human being, but I was wondering what you're going to do with that. See, Vandaloo wouldn't like to be treated like a god, would he?
Miles unwittingly hacked when he heard it and turned his gaze again to the slow-moving mountain range.
A feat that is roughly impossible for man is currently in its advanced form, and it is also carried out in an environment that is apparent from anyone's eyes.
Moreover, the inconvenience that may have occurred later is prevented in advance by the executor.
Exactly God's business. Even if I think so, I can't... No, I would normally think so. Myles himself would have assumed that some divine power was working before he met Vandaloo.
"Ki, you must be thinking a lot."
You think it's not just the extermination of demons that have popped up that are taking Bachnawa or Pete, it's going to show people what it looks like and replace the sacred subject with them?
Ilis clearly answered Miles thinking about it.
"Miles, you can bet. Your Majesty has no idea."
Those eyes had a strong trust in Vandaloo and a glimmer of bond.
"Oh, I knew it"
"But now I was wondering if I should still tell you"
"That's right. If Van misses control in shock now, the mountains are going to change shape."

● Demon Description: by Luciliano, King of Divine Steel Thunder Hundred Foot Underbeasts
Pete's race joined the Beast King by ranking up to Rank 15.
It was unprecedented, such as demons becoming beast kings, and if I hadn't checked myself out, I would have also reputed that "paranoia is too much, albeit the airborne theory on the desk".
Because the Beast King means the children of the Great God, the 'Beast God' Gampaprio, born at the same time as Vida and Alda, and the kings of birds, beasts, fish, etc. It has absolutely nothing to do with demons.
Like the Beast King of the Pig, there is also a Beast King who fell back into the army of the Demon King in future generations and became the ancestor of the demons.
But there are no examples of demons ranking up and becoming beast kings. No, it's only in the legends and myths of unknown authenticity that the material of the Rank 15 demons is in the first place. According to Gufadgaan, demons of rank 14 or higher hardly existed at the time Gudulanis, the former demon king, led the demon king's army.
At that time, demons were treated like miscellaneous soldiers to the evil gods of the Demon King's Army, creating facilities for generating and nurturing a large number of demons such as dungeons, but were only seen as disposable warfare. And with Bellwood and his successive defeats since they were summoned, it seemed difficult for the demons to surpass rank 13 comparable to the evil gods who are the Creators.
Sometimes they were raised in the hobbies of individuals made with purpose from the beginning or evil gods, their masters, but from the whole view they were very small.
It is ironic inside that even for demons it is easier to live after the old demon king, who was the ruler of the creators' masters, has been sealed.
Pete's beast kingdom may indicate a new way of being a master, a new demon king, and the demons under his control.
By the way, it seems to be possible to operate on earth as well as ever since he joined the Beast King but is also a demon at the same time.
