The Death Mage Who Doesn’t Want a Fourth Time

There was no one in the Holy Nation of Amid to challenge the jihad that Pope Eilek Malmé had told him.

Everyone involved in politics, the military, and the shrine knew that jihad would be waged soon.... royalties and nobles in their home countries, including some citizens and Milg Shield, had a bitter inner feeling, but could not stand up against it.

The change from the Empire to the Holy Nation meant that the words of the politician, Pope Arda Temple, became the words of the "God of Law and Life" Arda, because if you defy the government, you will defy God.

In particular, Milg Shield was saved by Heinz heroes sent by the Holy Nation of Amid when part of the border mountains became the Moving Arc Mountains. Therefore, I could not stand up and resist.

"But what if we start jihad? The enemy is beyond that untouched border mountain range. The monsters, vortexes and reefs of the dreadful magic sea await you, even as you attack from the sea.

After all, isn't it impossible to attack from here?

But in his opinion, King Milg Shield said, "Isn't that impossible?" he asked.

The appearance did not only appeal to the patriarchal kingdom, but seemed to be a solid king of opinions, but he was fearful of war in his heart. Because I was worried that God's will would force me to cross the boundaries of the mountains or force me to land from the sea, and that I would order my own soldiers to die.

I would not have ordered Milg Shield to collapse if it had been a patriarchy when it was still an empire. Because the emperors of all generations were so rational and worth maintaining at the same time in Milg Shield.

However, the movement of the frontier mountains has ended Milg Shield's role as a shield against the Olbaum kingdom, and its value has drastically diminished.

In addition, the Amid Empire has been transformed into a sacred state, and there are many who are anxious about whether the new ruler, Eilek Malmö, intends to maintain the same relationship with his kingdom as the previous emperor. King Milg Shield thought he was going to cut too many troops for this jihad.

Previously, he thought of becoming a holy country and changing to a patriarchal country, but as a result, he became aware of the dangers of the holy country, and now he regretted the opportunistic judgment he had made before.

"Indeed... there are no roads or tunnels that Milg Shield has used to invade in the past."

"You're not going to start by rebuilding the tunnel? I don't know how many years it will take to open it."

"No, why don't we just fly over the ocean with magic?

"Don't be ridiculous, do you think there were no ancestors who tried it in the past? They taught us a lesson with their lives."

"Yes, why don't you rendezvous with the Duke of Fazon and find a tunnel through the border mountains from the side of the Olbaum!? There must be more tunnels on that side than there was on this side!

"How many years are you going to spend!? Rendezvous with the Duke of Fazon on a ship and then turn all the other Duke territories of the Olbaum against each other in a war, searching for tunnels I don't know if there are..."

"In the first place, we can move the mountains. If you spend so much time, I'll move the mountains and invade them from there!

The nobles of the Holy Nation summoned, the royal family of the kingdom, and their subordinates exchange opinions with a voice that is too loud to whisper. What they have in common is that they are in a position that is not important in the Holy Nation of Amid.

By contrast, those in important positions in the Holy Nation of Amid calm down as if they knew the conclusion from the beginning.

"Please calm down. Lord Arda has already told the gods what we need to do.

"The Gods of Heroes, the heroes of Heinz who dropped Bellewood, break the boundaries and open the way."

And what Ariek told me was an incredible maneuver to twist down your common sense with force.

But many were convinced that that was possible.

As well as A-class adventurers, S-class Schneider can break and crush mountains as high as several hundred meters by firing a blow that wields the power of the whole body spirit.

However, it is impossible to destroy the mountains of the border mountains at thousands of meters in one blow. Even if it was possible to collapse, it was not hard to imagine that a large amount of dirt and sand would collapse into Milg Shield, and then the monsters of the frontier mountains that had collapsed their dwellings would come like clouds.

However, Heinz's blow to the Blaze Sword, which dropped Bellewood, should break the mountains. Because God has ordained them as a means of initiating jihad.

"If you do that, the monsters nesting in the border mountains will attack our country again!

But King Milg Shield believed it and challenged it. If the operation is carried out, it is only natural that the main battlefield will be the Milg Shield kingdom that he will rule.

"After the jihad, the entrance leads to the inner border mountains! I wonder how to protect our country after the jihad... at least let us choose where to break the mountains!

King Milg Shield did not think that the entrance leading into the Boundary Mountains would be a step towards gaining new territory.

Because we know that it is a dangerous idea from the rare, but valuable, information and lessons learned from the Second Talos Heim Expedition, which ended in failure about seven years ago.

All the land in the border mountains is a demon, and there are so many powerful monsters in the crowd that it is extremely dangerous. So I received the report and asked the court magicians and scholars to consider whether it could be cleansed and turned into ordinary land, but it was concluded that it was impossible.

When purifying a demon, it is a fixed stone to purify all the demons you want to purify at once. With some purification, new monsters will continue to enter the out-of-range realm even if monsters within that range are exterminated. Therefore, in the boundary mountains where all the land is demonized, it is believed that monsters continue to invade from other demons during the purification work and cannot be purified.

Of course, if we keep exterminating the invading monsters 24 hours a day, we can purify them... but given the power and cost involved, it's very impractical. That may be the case with the Demon King, who moves the border mountains, or Heinz, who can break them.

What will happen to Milg Shield if it continues to be such a dangerous place? It must be gradually eroded by the magic from the entrance of the valley that divided the mountains.

In order not to do so, we have to make the mountain breaking place remote from people and build a fortress to protect the enchantment from monsters coming from inside the border mountains.

Because it takes years to do so, it is the same as insisting that the Jihad be stopped. But as King of Milg Shield, I have to insist.

"Don't worry."

However, it was not strict rejection or treacherous lettering that responded to King Milg Shield, but warm words.

"The great god of law, Arda, already knows that."

"Oh, really!?

Ariek nodded with a smile to King Milg Shield, looking back at him.

"When you win the jihad, all your anxiety will vanish and there will be nothing to worry about."

As soon as he said so, Ariek looked at King Milg Shield praying to God as if he were impressed. What a miserable, more pathetic man.

"God of Law" Arda understood from the outset that the Milg Shield kingdom would become one of the battlefields by starting jihad, and that the land would be ravaged and heavily damaged as a result of jihad.

And after winning the jihad, Milg Shield could perish if it wasn't so lucky.

I understand that, but I have decided that it is a "necessary sacrifice", and I feel sorry for the Milg Shield people, who will be the sheep of sacrifice, while mourning the sacrifice, but I have no choice.

Ariek knew that by God, and Arda did not intend to disagree any more than he had set "the necessary sacrifice" and Milg Shield.

Rather, all the people of Milg Shield should be happy to give their lives while thanking Arda for mourning the end.

That's why Ariek passed the truth on to Milg Shield.

Arda knows that Milg Shield is worried. And when he triumphed over Jihad, Milg Shield would already be in a state where he was not acting as a nation, so there would be nothing to worry about for Milg Shield King and nothing to worry about.

But that's not because of the ruthlessness that comes from our arrogance, which we think is the exception. Because non-Milg Shield affiliates and the Holy Nation of Amid are sacrificial sheep as well.

I know that Ariek is also a sacrificial sheep for Arda, and that the difference with Milg Shield is only between the possibility and the timing of the offering.

It was also God's will, remembering the honor of dedicating this life to God, and Ariek was truly delighted to be able to throw life for the jihad that will shape the future of the world.

The exception is those who know that Milg Shield is a sacrificial sheep, but think they will not. The aristocracy who switched from the Amid Empire to the Holy Nation of Amid and proceeded to present the former Emperor Mashkusar.

They do not know that Arda intends to evacuate the heroes who survived the jihad, not only from the Holy Nation of Amid, but from all over Bahn Gaia, to relocate to the islands where people live, to re-establish the system there and to prepare for the recapture of the continent.

Knowing everything, Ariek didn't mean to teach them that.

At the same time, the news of jihad had reached the Duke of Fazon. The method of communicating the information was not a super first-class messenger or genius spatial attribute magician traveling between the Duke of Fazon and the Holy Nation of Amid... but a myth from Arda.

No one in the Duke of Fazon's Arda Temple has the talent to receive deities as accurately as Aereek. But there is no mistake in the short description of starting jihad.

The Duke of Fazon believes that this jihad meant that he was born in this world, and he is prepared to recruit brave soldiers and throw everything, not just the Duke.

The movement naturally grows, is perceived by other Duke territories, and is communicated to the Vi 'dar Demon Empire.

In the castle of Talos Heim, the capital of the Vi 'dar Demon Empire, Vandalu thought for a while and opened his mouth.

"In the meantime, if you want a ghost country with a country in the border mountains on the side of the Holy Nation of Amid to evacuate once and for all... I understand that you neglect politics and strategy, but this is a kind of vibration, right? Not only the Duke of Fazon, but also the movement of the Holy Nation of Amid."

Yes, I agree too.

That's right, Miss Vandalou.

Both Cesare, who was a warrior in Milg Shield, and Isla, an evil vampire who had been manipulating human society from behind for tens of thousands of years, were in agreement.

The great armies that the Holy Nation of Amid is sending in march down the streets to the border mountains for more than a month. In the middle of the regiment, Heinz's "five-colored blades" are waiting in a large carriage to maintain a perfect posture.

Whether you're dealing with an ordinary enemy country or a light footwork vandaloo, it's like a march screaming, attacking before you reach the border mountains.

No, if Vandalu is aiming to conquer the Holy Nation of Amid, he may try to storm and take possession of the Holy Nation's capital as soon as the troops depart from the Holy Nation of Amid and can no longer return.

I mean, Arda wants Vandalou to do that. Heinz, who can't be seen in the carriage in the middle of the regiment, is fake without thinking, and the real thing is waiting somewhere.

The Duke of Fazon is both positive and negative. No matter how motivated the Duke of Fazon is, they have no way of dealing blades directly with the Vi 'dar Demon Empire.

On land, you must first cross the Duke of Birgit or the Duke of Hartner before crossing the boundary mountains. Even by sea, like the Holy Nation of Amid, we must pass through the demons of the magical world and rough currents and rocks.

Of course, for each Duke territory in the Olbaum-elected kingdom, we have to deploy a line of defense rather than a diversion. The chosen kingdom of Olbaum, with the exception of the present Duke of Fazon, is a friendly country of the Vi 'dar Demonic Empire. Of course, I don't intend to make a sightseeing.

"Would you like to send reinforcements to each Duke's regiment as required, and keep your Majesty on standby at all times?"

But, as Cesare said, we should only send reinforcements when the line of defense has been sufficiently pursued. Otherwise, you will smash the faces of each Duke's army.

Even if the Duke of Fazon has other Duke Elites embedded in it.

Procedures and their sequence are important in politics, including diplomacy.... of course, there's an emergency in the world that we don't have time to go through, but in that case, there's a nice word for ex post facto consent.

Moreover, they will not hesitate to request reinforcements from the Vi 'dar Demon Empire.

"So, what matters is the movement of the Arda faction. How do you think it works behind a diversion? I think it was your assassination."

When Kurt, Cesare's brother and deputy general and deputy prime minister, said so, Eleonora was the first to respond.

"You're sending a handful of elite troops, centered on a real 'five-colored blade', to this Talos Heim? Destroy the boundary with the diversion forces on the side of the Holy Nation of Amid, and [transfer] it to Ninelord or the still alive Mirror God Rabban to Talos Heim."

Actually, Heinz is already lurking in the Duke of Fazon, and he's probably going to attack the Duke of Birgit and the Duke of Hartner, where Katie is, and do a lot of damage, and try to get Vandalou to help him.

Eleonora is followed by Isla, but speculates differently from her. They often compete with each other, but I don't see how they are seriously discussing or making meaningless conversations right now.

Then it's possible you're already hiding in the Duke of Jahan and the Duke of Sauron. To avoid being sensed by Gfadgan or Jane Doe, you just have to use space attribute magic to [transfer] outside the city and stay in the wilderness until time comes. "

But when Zandia said that, everyone realized that the scope of vigilance was too wide.

Unlike Earth, some people in this world are individually and strategically weapons capable. That's Vandalou, Schneider, and Heinz's Five-Color Blade.

And in this world, the land managed by humans is not as vast as Earth. If you're lurking in the woods and forests between town and city, it's hard to find them.

And the "Five-Colored Blade" is an adventurer party. Such outdoor activities are inherently palatable. You'll be able to hide for a week or a month.

Well, it would be impossible to lurk in or around the Magic Continent, Gartland, so I think it would be a good idea to remove them from the list.

"Well, if they're hiding, it's hard to find them in advance."

Kurt concluded so. There is also a limit to Vandalou's ability to increase the number of Demon Kings. Indeed, we cannot literally divide the entire Olbaum kingdom into grassroots searches. And it's harder to mobilize spirits and undead.

"Vandalou may be able to do this, but it may only take so long, reduce the magic available, and use the number of thoughts to manipulate the Demon King to make the control of magic sweeter.

That might be the real aim of the enemy. "

"Yes, Mother. So let's just keep the Demon King waiting around important cities.... well, I don't think Heinz wants to do that."

"Master, what does the second half of the word mean?

"It means as it is, disciple."

Vandalou answered Lucillano's question half-eyed, but was prompted to explain further, so he resisted silently for a while before opening his mouth.

"I'm not defending you, but Heinz is not the one who remembers pleasure by killing people in the dark or destroying cities. Especially the three races Arda defines as humans: race, elf and dwarf.... and furthermore, even the new race of Vida would not have done harm if it were not inconvenient for human society."

Vandalou hates Heinz from the bottom of her heart and is convinced that if Heinz disappears and the world is cleaner, there will be no true happiness as long as Heinz exists. If you're a snake scorpion and Heinz, don't hesitate to choose to be a snake scorpion and best friend... most snake scorpions are already close to Vandalou.

But Vandalou was calm and timid enough not to distort the information.

Heinz and his five-colored blades are an adventurer party, and they're Arda followers. However, as a hero of human society, there was no persecution of the Vidai believers and the new race of the Vidas living in the city. In the Duke of Alclém, he had moved rather to obtain the same rights as the people, and had achieved certain results.

I did not condone the Gouls, who were considered a kind of monster, the Magus tribes who seduced the government in the Duke of Fazon to extract information, or the tribes of mermaids who were defending [Demon King Shards]... but it was also a subject of evil in human society.

As a Vandalu, I'm not at all willing to forgive or miss, but I still think it's different from someone like Arda's fanatics... Ariek.

"So you're not going to attack the city of the Olbaum kingdom just to lure you out? But was it His Majesty that Arda said she could even use the Fragments of the Gdulanis Soul?

"Cesare, yes, but Arda and Heinz are separate. Heinz is not Arda's incarnation, nor has he ever sent Arda down there."

Above all, Heinz is not the same person as Arda. It is a separate existence that does not share thoughts or memories, and it may be sufficient to consider the life of existence defined as "necessary sacrifice" as "unnecessary sacrifice" in this war in which Arda is positioned as Jihad.

In particular, the Ardas still exist in each Duke territory of the Olbaum-elected kingdom.

"Some people can be divided into wars, but I don't really think Heinz can do that.... uhh, I'm going to take a break."

Vandalou paused his activities as the main body to relieve the stress of talking about his shoulders, even though he did not intend to defend Heinz.

Darcia nodded to his opinion, holding Vandalou still with her eyes open.

"Indeed, when you intervened in the battle between the resurrected Gdulanis and the Vandalus, your priority was to defeat the Gdulanis, not the Vandalu."

"But if you attack the town to lure the boy out, it's impossible for someone other than Heinz, the Fifteen Shattered Swords... After we lure him out, the angry kid just instantly kills him."

If we just lure Vandalou out, we can do anything but Heinz. But, as Zadilis says, the Vandalou will be able to take on only Heinz, who brought Belwood down. Just stopping him and buying time is a tough business.

If we kill them, we have no other choice.

Arda's Pile of Law doesn't have to be wary? I think there's plenty of oddness that Arda herself is coming down and trying to stab the boy in the pile. "

"Turn into the great Vandalou, and this Gfadgan will answer. In that case, the great Vandalou will be enough for once. You can also avoid surprises."

The "Pile of Law", Arda's god that Borks is alert to, has an absolute effect on Lambda's god. However, because it is a pile, it cannot be effective unless Arda directly pierces the subject.

In other words, if you pull it outside of Arda's window, it won't sting. And since Arda is not a god of war, even if he has the power as a god, it is not impossible for Vandalou to avoid the piles he shakes because he does not have high skills in combat.

Mythology leaves behind episodes in which the great gods Zulwan, the God of Space and Creation, and Recent, the Demon of Time and Magic, were punished several times in Arda's Pile of Law. And in the battle a hundred thousand years ago, Vida was rarely stabbed with the "Pile of Law".

However, Zulwan, Recklent, and Vida are not good at fighting because they do not have a god of war. Furthermore, Zulwan and Recklent had no intention of escaping the "Pile of Law" in the first place, but were willingly punished.

The episode occurred long before the demon king Gudulanis came to this world, when all the great gods were united. Various soft Zulwan and Recklent are also essential to the world, and both pillars are aware of this. That's why there was no point in escaping the punishment imposed by Arda, who was in charge of the law without any problems while remaining sane at the time.

If you receive punishment and atone for it, you will be able to line up with other gods as a great god again, but if you just run away, your relationship with each other will get worse. So I didn't choose to [transfer] to another space or escape by slowing down the flow around Arda.

And the Vi 'da was only inevitable because she took the 'Pile of Law' after being damaged by Bellewood's attack.

"Nevertheless, this is Arda's strategy in a state where time is limited due to the arrival on the ground, and it is different when Arda arrives in dependence.

If there is a high skill depending on the coming age, it may be possible to shake the "Pile of Law" with that skill. "

It's the same as Darcia who put the vida down.

"In that case, would it be best for us, not gods, to bring him into the melee battle and ask him to stay away from the pile?"

"I agree with Belmond."

"So, back to the subject... where do you think Heinz is and what he's after?

In view of His Majesty's opinions, it is likely that he will cut deep into the place where the existence does not hesitate to take his life.

In other words, I think the chances of coming to Talos Heim are high. "

The defining stone of the story of demon king extermination is the invasion of enemy centers by a small elite and the assassination of demon kings.

This is also uncomfortable for Vandalou, who is being treated like a Demon King.

"In the meantime, consider the odd plan after thoroughly handling Theory Street."

As winter deepened and the year dawned in a few days, the Amid Holy Nation jihadist army... in short, the jihadist army continued its march.

The total number is about 100,000.... combined with the total combat power of the Holy Nation of Amid and the Four Kingdoms, it may seem like a small number.

But this one hundred thousand is all made up of the best.

Even a single soldier can usually defeat a monster equivalent to Rank 2, but there are only skilled soldiers who can fight against a monster equivalent to Rank 4 more than each other. Adventurers, shrine warriors, and knights who are invited to participate are also carefully selected from the C level and above.

Beyond dealing with Vandalou and his men, the weak are only in the way, not the meat shields.

This is how many elites we've trained in the past few months. Of course, Pope Eilek Malmö has joined us. At the same time, however, this jihadist army was nothing but a threat to the Arda faction.

As the Vandalus immediately saw, there were no Heinz "five-colored blades" in this Jihad, nor any real Eileek. They're supposed to be in a carriage, fake.

And the jihadists include those who are not loyal to Arda.

(At the same time as the temple commander signals, leave the line with full force)

(I don't know if Arda is really crazy. But there's no doubt that Ariek is crazy.)

(It is not Arda we believe in. Then only believe in the Word of God)

Bottin, master, put your strength into this body you've forged.

Peria, give me that wisdom.

(Recklent, bless me in time)

Zuluwan, give me hope before the chaos.

They were instructed by the priests who had been rescued by Vandalou to where the Arieks had been captured by the Temple of Arda. Or those under the command of those who were able to successfully hide their mistrust of Arda. And regardless of that, they were the ones who received the deities directly from the gods who turned to the Vidaism.

None of them could refuse to join the jihadist army, or refuse to help their fellow citizens and friends who joined the jihadist army.

Of course, they are not going to fight as members of the Jihad.

Rather than being such a single rock, it was a jihadist army that could not be regarded as an army with a pile of slab-like rocks.

A few hours later, as the march continues and the border mountains are within range, those in the carriage instead of Heinz destroy the mountains. It was supposed to come through the entrance.

But suddenly there was a roar from the mountains. It was like the roar of a giant monster, but those who joined the jihadist army from Milg Shield knew it was not.

"The mountains... the mountains are moving again!

"Demon King! I'm going to set you up first!

As the jihadists approached, a valley made of [Golem Creation] slowly appeared as if nothing had happened from them.

And from that mountain range, countless monsters... flocks of Tiranosaurus with bloody eyes, Hillgiants running roaring, flying fuge sharks swimming in the air, and so on approach the jihadist army at full speed.

"Intercept!"

"Now, run! Fall back, fall back!

In contrast, the jihadists suddenly disturbed their ranks. Bloodthirsty men who tried to throw themselves into battle with the Demon King army, and those who tried to leave the jihadist army as scheduled, saying this was a sign.

The chain of command collapses in an instant and moves slowly except for those who want to leave.

Uh-oh! Kick 'em off!

"Don't chase anyone who tries to escape! Kill anyone who stays there!

"Forward, Noble Orcs!

From that side, the hidden "Sword King" Borks and the Vi 'dar Demon Imperial Army led by Vigalo were attacked by the Noble Oak army led by Budallion.

"Shit! Already ambushed outside the border mountains!?

Yes, it was a diversion that opened the mountain range to show it. And the multitude of monsters that came out of the valley were nothing but stones of stone.

Among the monsters inside the Border Mountains, I only managed to gather the right type of thrust and chase them from behind, not even part of the Vi 'dar Demon Empire Army.

The first act of the final was the successful ambush on the side of the Vi 'dar Demon Empire.
