Surprisingly, Jae-ho accepted Tina's opinion.
'They're all over the place and they're trying to do it....you can't choose just one side.’
-You're just trying to shirk responsibility for your decision, aren't you?
At the old man's call, Jae-ho answered in silence.
Anyway, as a result, the choice has resulted in satisfying everyone.
The elves were hateful to both demons and humans, and the Dwarfs said they liked it because it was a goal-hitting operation.
The demons and blacksmiths were just touched by each other's serious friendship...….
Anyway, the Dwarfs quickly proceeded to produce handcuffs for them, and they were soon able to secure supplies.
"Okay, then I'll leave it to you and go back."
"Don't worry! You can trust them.”
The blacksmiths nodded firmly at the demons.
"Hung! They're. I shouldn't have done this. We don't know enough?”
The demons rubbed under their noses and tried to hide their embarrassment, which was a win-win result for all.
* * *
The Serma Territory closest to the Embay Forest.
Baroness Seppong, the lord of the place, was reading late into the night.
"Ladies, lord!!! Lord!!!"
“?”
Outside the bedroom, at the urgent cry from afar, he raised his head.
Boom-boom!
His forehead was crumpled by the butler's action of opening the door without knocking.
"What is this about?"
"Sorry, I'm sorry! But it's that urgent...…!!”
The butler's face was as white as a ghost.
"Oh, demons! Demons have appeared!!!”
"Ah......ma..."?
As absurd as it seemed, Baron Seppong's expression hardened.
"What the hell are you talking about in the middle of the night? Did you have a nightmare?"
"Oh, no! We've been attacked outside the compound, and the guards are fighting!”
"You're welcome. Take it easy. I don't mean to listen to such a lame joke...….”
Quaaaaaaang!!
At that moment, the sound of the explosion shaking the mansion rose up with a self-cultivation.
"What, what?!”
"Oh, really!!! How many times have I told you they're demons!!!"
The butler's report was true.
The demons, who had been attacking the territory by surprise, were attacking the security forces, with a massive scale, threatening to wield weapons.
"LOL!!! Stupid human beings!!! We are terrible demons!!!”
"The demons become many times stronger at night!! You will get insomnia at night because you are anxious every night!"
"I'll burn them all!!! These ants! I'll trample all those flower beds over there!!!"
"Huck! No flowers! You want to be in big trouble?!”
"Oh, that's right. ...Hahaha! Hahaha! Then shall we steal that axe?"
Something strangely unthreatened, but people couldn't hear exactly what the demons were saying.
I was completely terrified just because of my red, big muscular appearance.
"Uh......!! Ji, it's a real devil!"
"Call the Knights!!!"
However, the status of the devil spread within the continent was very harsh.
No matter how many knights I was in, I had to be careful against the devil I've never seen before.
"Hahahaha! We've got humans!"
"Kikiki, I will take these guys and enslave them!!”
Eventually, a considerable number of humans were caught in the hands of demons.
They were handcuffed to the demons right away...….
"Hmm? But didn't the hostage just handcuffed himself?”
Someone with a keen eye found something strange but soon buried it.
"Uh.a.a.a.a.mu.o.o.o.o.o.o.o."
"No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no!
"Live me, give me, give me, give me, kill me, kill me!
A painful cry from the hostages!
"Damn it! We must save innocent human beings!!!”
Only then did the knights come to their senses, but the demons were already running away with the hostages.
* * *
The next day, Serma Youngji went wild.
The devil has invaded!
That fact alone has terrorized everyone in the territory.….
"The damage is...…?”
Baron Seppong asked with his forehead clenched.
"Some parts of the wall have been destroyed...….”
"Done?"
"......That's it."
"......huh?"
A man with a look on his face that sounds like crap.
"That's it?"
"Ummm... ...there's more if we dig deeper. Stealing the young people's axes, scribbling on the outer walls...….”
“…….”
"Oh, and some adventurers have been taken."
"The adventurers?"
"Yes, no other casualties have been reported."
"What is it? Did you check it out?"
"Tue, I'm sure! It was weird for me too, so I checked it over and over again...... we haven't found any direct damage to the British people."
"Only the adventurers were taken...….”
It was easy to guess why it happened.
The majority of adventurers present on this continent are immortal beings called Immortalians.
They were fearless, and when something unusual happened, they would cut in regardless of the fire.
Perhaps he heard that the devil had appeared and rushed in without fear and was taken away.
"That's a relief... ...that there's no major damage on the part of the territory.”
Since they are outsiders anyway, they didn't have to use their strength to save them.
"The problem is that the devil appeared...….”
Baron Seppong's face darkened.
Embay Forest, the source of rumors about demons that have been circulating for a long time.….
It was clear that something had changed there.
* * *
Starting with the Serma Territory, all the surrounding territories were damaged by demonic attacks.
They all had something in common that the actual damage was minimal, but it didn't matter.
The important thing is that the devil actually appeared!
In the end, the leaders of the noble families of the "Gogor Twilight Society" gathered together for a meeting to discuss countermeasures.
"No, suddenly the devil! What the hell is going on?!
"Wasn't it just a rumor that there are demons in the forests of Embay? be quiet so far I don't understand if it just came out!"
"Is there anything that anyone knows? About the cause of this situation?"
There is only one person who knows.
Count Lumio, Lord of Otolk, who keeps silence.
'Crazy...... there was really a demon?’
I snorted, and I didn't know the demons would show up as soon as Jae-ho pulled out.….
Fortunately, Otolk had no significant damage yet, but he couldn't help but pay attention to it because there was a lot of damage around him.
But as the story progressed, the nobles began to realize something strange.
"But why is Otolk all right?"
"Hmm?"
Count Romeo flinched at the question of another nobleman.
"So how can there be no damage when Otolk is quite close to the Embay Forest?”
"What would you say if you asked me that?"
Something that never came.
"Hmmm... is that so? All the surrounding lands are damaged, and Otolkman is safe.….”
"You knew something, didn't you?"
"What, what?! What are you talking about!!! You mean I made a deal with the devil?!
The eyes of the people became thinner as Count Romeo stepped out in a fit of rage.
"Why are you so excited? So isn't that even more suspicious?"
"Isn't it because you're talking nonsense?"
"Huh! Where the hell are you pointing a finger at!"
When he even pointed his finger at her, her opponent stood up in a fit of rage.
"Hmmm... ...there's actually a report coming up from the security force...….”
At that time, Baron Seppe carefully opened his mouth.
"I thought they misheard me because I'm such a ludicrous person, but......I can't easily overlook this situation."
There were stories the demons shared among themselves.
-The Autolk's defense is tight, but not anywhere else!
-I think they knew about our existence. The men who went on the attack said,
"......."”
“?!!!”
Count Romeo opened his mouth wide.
"The Count of Lumio?! What's that noise?! You knew!!!"
"Well, come to think of it, I've heard such a story."
-Dear Alsia... ...no, Alsia, she lived like a slave because of him...... finally freedom. 큭.큭."
"......."
"What the hell!"
"What the hell! Didn't we all decide to kick Alsia out of the forest in the first place?”
Count Romeo spoke as if he were falsely accused.
"And it was only a rumor that the devil was there in the first place! Didn't anyone think there would be a real demon?"
"But why do you hide the fact that demons have attacked you?"
"It's not hidden, it's really never been here!!!”
He shouted with a look of injustice.
But already the atmosphere was flowing in a direction that was unfavorable to Count Romeo.
Of all things, Otolk was the only place that wasn't attacked by demons.
And it was strictly because of Jae-ho's order.
When Count Romeo noticed that he would not inform other nobles, he ordered the demons.
I want you to attack without Otolk.….
"Everyone, calm down! When we're fighting amongst ourselves?"
Count Romeo exclaimed hurriedly.
"Isn't that an inaccurate story from the devil's mouth?! The demons are so crafty, maybe they intended to drive us apart!"
"Hmm......."
"Um."
Well, I couldn't quite believe what the demons said.
"Let's gather the soldiers."
Count Romeo continued.
"If Alsia was really in control of the demons, wouldn't it be us?"
"But what about the Dwarfs who went to the Embay Forest? If Alsia took all of them away, wouldn't our plan be a complete waste?"
Fortunately, Alsia and the Elves were the only ones to see out of the woods.More."
Thank God.
Then it means the Dwarfs are still in the woods.
However, when he tried to move the troops, he had another problem.
This is war.
Fighting the demons was bound to cause a loss of troops in some way.
Who here wants to weaken their territorial military power?
"......let's ask the royal court."
Count Romeo's idea.
"The forest of Embay belongs to the royal family. Let's ask the royal court rather than just relax ourselves. Besides, this is not just a monster, it's a demon. Can't the royal family not ignore it?"
"Then wouldn't it rather give you an excuse to get involved in the Embay Forest?"
"Do you think that's possible? King Sigor is nothing but the name of this country.”
So the petition was written and sent straight to the kingdom's capital.
* * *
Jae-ho, who was briefed on what was happening around the forest in Embay, nodded satisfactorily.
"That's just the ideal flow.”
As a king of hogu, nobles will try to eat it somehow.
Jaeho had planned ahead with Sigor king.
Among the plans were the aristocrats asking King Sigor for troops, and if it went that way it was a fatal mistake.
The fine cracks inside Sigor's twilight sashimi will completely open.
King Sigor, who was petitioned by the nobles.
Normally the powerless and poor king would have been at a loss for what to do, but he had no hesitation because of Jae-
He didn't send troops, he only sent a reply.
And this is the summary of what was written there, it was like this.
King Alsia said he'd talk to you on his way.]
“……..”
"What the hell is this?".”
The nobles who received the reply were speechless.
"Who's Alsia heard the story from the author in advance?"
Everyone shook their heads, but there was a place where attention was focused on itself...….
The only unharmed Count of Lumio in the Ottolk Territory.
"What are those eyes?"
"No, it's just...….”
"Hmmm, isn't this more and more suspicious?"
Count Romeo's face turned red in their reaction.
"I've never heard of...….”
Knock knock-
At that time, a knock was heard from the entrance of the drawing room where the Sigor Twilight Society was gathered.
"What!"
Count Romeo shouted irritably.
There's a meeting of the Lords, and they're not being sensible.….
"Lord, King Alsia has visited Otolk."
