The Demon King Seems to Conquer the World

Episode 131: Upcoming Enemy

It was since the crash that I rode the eagle.

I miss the feeling of cutting the wind on my cheeks and swimming freely through the air indescribably.

Like fish going for the sea from upstream, you can see the river gradually widening and the riverside cliffs shallow down the road (Michi) along the river.

The various phases of the trees do not change so much, as the vegetation is not altitude divergent enough to change rapidly.

Flying through the low altitude, looking carefully down, something black covered the streets in the distance.

Once off the street, increase altitude.

If we go up to altitude, which can only be seen as much as rice grains from the ground, we can't tell if it's a king eagle or a normal bird, unless we're so familiar with humans because we exceed the limits of human proximity.

After rising to that height, he took a position where he could observe the ground from the direction of the sun.

Gradually as he reached low altitude, his appearance began to become clear.

Sure, there's a bunch of people climbing down the road that we came through.

We exchanged carriages, a split and a full-fledged legion.

There is no port here where large ships can be docked, but did horses and carriages also land on boats?

Unparalleled obsession.

But you're on a horse... that's about 10%.

The other soldiers, oh, my God, are running for a small run.

Thanks to this, the carriage seems to be going a little faster, even though the whole thing is crossing walks.

Needless to say, it's a force that won't last long.

I don't know until I'm armed in the distance, but I guess I'm running armed and armed.

I don't normally do this except for training, which is more about making soldiers run in marches than less proficient.

Again, it's militarily strange what you think.

I also wondered if there was such a purpose as to threaten the back, or vandalize Siyarta, which would probably be the next battle, but if so, there's no point in having an impossible force.

Besides, there are thousands to tens of thousands of soldiers in the Rube family's territory.

Even assuming they're the best assholes out there, they're not expected to have only two or three hundred soldiers in Rube family territory.

I don't know who the commander is, but I don't know what it means to come into an area where there is a threat of more troops than the number on my back.

Too reckless.

How pointy is the operative intent?

You leaked it from somewhere.

Again, no matter what you think, there are only as many elements as Carol and Terre.

I'm concerned about the time difference, but for once, the reformation may have fallen fast.

But no matter how many of those two are high value goals, are we going to get this far?

I feel something horribly biased.

Paranoia, no, thirst......

I don't know.

Either way, I just do what I can.

I returned the eagle and rose again.

I feel a bad reaction to an eagle who doesn't even know the name to ride for the first time, yet at the rear of an army of a thousand people.

The carriage was around the middle.

Well, I'm in the middle of a run, so I don't know if I'll hit it.

I took out the lighter and sandwiched the flame bottle wire in my hand as I pushed my torso against the eagle.

Make sure to burn the leather gloves covering the lighter and light the ignition line.

I dropped the eagle upside down as I burned it into an oil cloth that jumped out of a barbecue bottle.

He descends in a gutter as he takes the track along the road.

I loosened the rope tying the flame bottle while turning to the rise in a rather modest way than when I did it with stardust.

Pull the reins and look down as you ascend.

A mass with four bottles flushed the red fire like a tail, drawing parabolas and falling almost where the carriage was.

I could see the flames spreading.

I hope it's a hit.

If you can take water and food, it's that march.

It's not a river where you can easily go down a cliff and drink water, and say you can't fight when you're hungry, but it's not something you can fight after a day of running without drinking.

Nevertheless, it is also too hopeful an observation to think that all the carriages have broken.

By the time I came back, the yang had already begun to shade.

When I started to stagnate over the sky, I guess someone cared. Things were removed from the open land, and a small space was created as a matter of urgency.

Coming down while making bass and wind pressure, Myallo rushed over.

Was it Myalo's orders that created the landing site?

You thought I'd put my eyes on you as a landing spot, and you waited.

I took my belt off and got off the eagle.

Looking around first, Gi, the eagle rider, was there too.

"I'm sorry. Thanks."

Pass the eagle's reins you owed me.

I had Gi's eagle loaned to me.

"No, rather honored..."

You're too modest a man.

"You have a good eagle. It was easy to ride."

"Thank you"

Take your eyes off the gi with your head down, and turn towards Myalo.

"Myalo."

"As instructed, today's trip is over and everyone is getting ready for cooking"

There seems to be no lag.

"There's something I want to talk to you about in the executive. Can you collect it?"

"Already"

They've already collected it.

A boulder or something.

Okay, let's go.

"You're getting together."

To the trees in the woods, I just gave them the cloth, but for once, it could be called a curtain.

There was Carol and Lyao.

There is a small incineration, four simple folding chairs, surrounding the incineration.

………

Lyao is quiet on his back.

Carol is also in a worse mood to see and wrinkles between her brows.

There's something strange about it.

Did you even fight?

"How'd it go"

Carol said.

I guess I'm already aware of the situation.

"It seems impossible to escape"

"... eh"

Carol skewed her face in pain.

I sat in a folding chair.

Myalo also sits right next to him in the chair.

"They seem to be very elite troops. I was running up this road with all my troops running. Contact is... tomorrow morning or about noon..., hopefully, at 2: 00 or 3: 00 p.m."

I don't know the exact time.

Along the way, I saw a tree knocked down at the behest of Lyao and several roads blocked.

But that would only buy us time if we went out the side, too.

I won't be able to get by about the carriage, but the land along the street is also suitable for felling, so there's nothing like a tree over a hundred years old.

Because trees grown enough to sell at high prices are cut down and sold.

I knocked down a tree and blocked the road. Even so, if there are dozens of people bragging about their power, they'll make them go away.

"I want to say it first. I'm not gonna die in this job."

Lyao said.

You said that before, that.

"Then are you pushing the people across the bridge and watching the massacre across the bridge with your fingers crossed? It's a big knight to name a general."

Carol said something.

To see the look on your face, this is pretty frustrating.

"So...... I've told you many times. I have my place. My life is for the rube realm, not a good life to use here. That would be the same for you."

Was it just sinister because we were having such a verbal fight?

I don't care.

"Because..."

"Stop."

I blocked Carol's words.

"Lyao, I don't know what to say, but do you mind if I put you in a situation like Carol just said?"

"I don't mind, but I can't help it"

Lyao seeps his grump into his face and grumps.

"The soldiers' hearts will be broken. Our reputation will fall to the ground."

Regardless of military rationality, the people hate armies that do not protect themselves.

You can't win if you fight, and I didn't come here to fight in the first place, so I said, I'm not exempt from hipster treatment.

"Besides, it's your job as a team to protect the people, no matter what your natural role is, more than I've taken on an escort."

I haven't taken on anything but a thousand people, but that thousand people end up at the end of the line, so in reality it means the same thing.

"So is Lord Yuri going to fight? What can we do in front of a thousand soldiers? Paper in front of the spear."

It was a good analogy.

That would mean putting the people away and running.

Anyway, if it's paper pepper, it's better not to put it down.

It is only foolish to wear out paper peppers that have room for growth in the future.

It's true.

But it's light.

Lyao is not an idiot, so he should know the future detriment, caused by looking past the massacre.

Fighting won't win, so pull.

I wish that sacrifice was something like garbage, but this time it's human.

Abandon a large number of people in front of you and blow up the bridge with the massacre in front of you.

Will the soldiers be able to return to their daily routine after doing so?

I wish I could drink and clear my worries, but I don't think that would do it.

Besides, an army that was turned that way by the people is weak.

When Lyao becomes the leader, the Rube family becomes vulnerable if the past deeds make him unpopular.

Lyao will make a cheap decision because he is not the chief executive.

The choice between abandoning the refugees or not is not for Lyao, and therefore not for blame.

It's a difference of position.

"If a spear stabs you, you can tear it. If it's a piece of paper, you should avoid stabbing it."

And I expressed my thoughts in the end.

"What?"

I stopped Lyao with my hands.

"Myalo."

I called it.

"Yes."

"When are we all going to cross the bridge if the refugees cross the bridge?"

"It's a pretty big mess......, around tomorrow evening, is it? Until noon... I was wondering if it would be quite impossible."

Is that so?

If it seems to take until midnight, there's nothing I can do about it, but that's about it, I think I can handle it.

"If we keep going, well, if we buy half a day or so, we can cross safely."

"Right. Half a day, if they'll be late, I think we'll be safe first. Depends on the means of breaking the bridge."

"If that's about it, I guess I can handle it"

Whatever you do, it's no different than risky.

"What are you gonna do?"

Lyao approached me to ask half the questions.

"No way, are you seriously going to fight"

"We don't always fight."

Instead, if you don't have to fight, that's the best.

That's for sure.

"But the enemy is coming. How can I stay without fighting? Besides, if you don't fight, you'll have to go over there first."

If it is a policy of running away without fighting and pushing the people, as if they had stayed on this side when the enemy arrived, you would be smarter to cross to the other side from the start, you want to say.

We don't have weapons, so it's not hard to sidestep into a refugee and cross a bridge.

"No, we need soldiers. Without soldiers, it wouldn't be an enemy threat."

"Threats... you say?

Lyao is surprised.

"I can't iron the paper pelvis, but I can avoid stabbing the spear. You're the one manipulating the spear. Explain it now."
