Chapter 296 – Chapter 71. The Prelude to the Great War.
Jihyeok and the Kurdish old man left the rocky mountain after simply packing their belongings. Jihyeok roughly calculated the distance the expedition would move and made a plan to arrive in advance and wait for the place to come later.
The old man who was walking with Jihyeok lamented the urgent situation of the continent that he heard one after another. And the news of the death of his close friend, the Heavenly Demon, must have been a bit shocking to him.
“How did the continent come to be like this?”
After walking for a long time, they soon encountered refugees pouring down from the West Continent. A number of thieves ran rampant there. … The continent was in a truly miserable state.
Bandits trampled and plundered people of all ages and genders. Jihyeok and Kurd didn’t bother to find them and deal with them, but those who dared to attack without knowing the subject had no mercy and killed all of them. At this time, standing on the brink of destruction, there was no mercy to be shown to these evil bastards who were fighting each other.
The two men passed through many villages, but in most cases they could not even enter due to already hard-hearted people. I tried to get at least drinking water or food, but they wouldn’t allow me to do anything. The two understood the situation, but felt deep regret.
So they drank the babbling streams and ate the animals. If I was lucky enough to find food in the village, I wouldn’t have to worry about food for a few days.
Kapram arrived in the middle city after suffering quite a bit.
Ji-hyeok entered the inner world, revealing that he was an S-class warrior. Of course, the baron couldn’t easily believe that these two scruffy people were Hero’s group. With the times going crazy these days, there is no law saying that there must be people who dare to pretend to be heroes in lies. Furthermore, does it make sense that an S-class hero would move with only his daughter and an old man accompanying him!
Although the baron once provided lodging and food, he did not erase his suspicions. … Then, a week later, part of the expedition reached Capram first.
“Old man!”
As soon as he saw the Kurdish old man he respected, the troll Björgon, a bodily healer, collapsed on the spot. The baron, who had been embarrassed by the expedition party, finally realized the identity of Ji-hyeok and the Kurdish old man and trembled.
“Long time no see, Byorgon.”
“I firmly believed that you would come, old man.”
“The continent is walking the path of death, how can I turn a blind eye?”
Byorgon patted Jihyeok on the arm, saying that he had worked hard to bring him there.
“How are the current enemies?”
“All the cities they pass through are falling into ruins. Not a single rat is alive. … It’s literally a disaster.”
“How far is it?”
“It’s now down to about a week away. … I will see you soon.”
Kurdish old man stroked his white beard with his hand and listened to the two of them quietly. But his eyes were burning fiercely.
“When will Mama arrive?”
“It will arrive tomorrow.”
The baron, unable to do anything with his neck hanging behind the three giants, whispered in an ant crawling voice that he would take us to the restaurant.
Upon hearing the sound, the troll Bjorgon looked at the baron and said,
“Let us arrange it simply. And feed the soldiers well, prepare them for a comfortable bed.”
“I will.”
The baron was busy giving instructions. … He honestly recited the tight circumstances of the city and could have refused, but how could he treat His Majesty’s army so badly?
Anyway, the three of us, who hadn’t seen each other in a while, talked until late into the night.
And late the next morning.
The main force led by the princess Ganesha arrived in the middle city of Kapram. The baron’s heart had already shrunk at that enormous force. If it is revealed that he suspected Kang Ji-hyeok and Kurdish warriors, who are currently the most prestigious on the continent, they will surely be greatly scolded.
Of course they understood Baron Capram’s situation. … Still, it’s not like I insulted you and kicked you out. Given the current situation, it’s easy to doubt everything.
Commander Ganesha had a welcome reunion with a Kurdish old man he hadn’t seen in a while. And he praised Jihyeok for his excellent service to this headstrong old man.
“Good job, really.”
Jihyuk also finally joined the team after being separated for over two months. They happily welcomed the captain who returned safely and shared a warm hug one by one.
And that night, Jihyeok and his two wives joined together at the same time. The situation was difficult to divide time for each person, so it was an unavoidable situation. In the middle of such intense sex, Princess Ganesha suddenly intruded as if she knew how.
“This bitch won’t even look at me!”
Hero Elizabeth looked very perplexed. It was already split in two and it was hard to taste the cock, so I deliberately didn’t look at it and stayed quiet, but it was like a ghost and found it.
Anyway, Ji-hyeok and the three women enjoyed an orgy all night, and then, as if something had happened in the morning, they transformed into chaste female warriors.
After resting for two days in the middle city of Karfam, the expedition started marching again. Under the warm sunlight, the soldiers walked and walked, sweating profusely.
As they got closer and closer to the group of demons, the atmosphere of the expedition became sharper. Quarrel often occurred between the soldiers, and there were also cases where fights often occurred between the warriors’ teams. Of course, then the warriors who caused the problem were robbed by Ganesha.
After walking through such a talkative and risky march, they finally narrowed the distance to the group of demons. Ganesha took some of the fleeing refugees and took a rough look at the situation.
“Suddenly, in front of my nose, a person collapsed and died. I almost died, but I came back to life. I had no choice but to run away.”
The faces of the refugees were stained with marks of terrible fear. They only thought of running away from the expedition.
The warriors felt that the time to fight had come. Princess Ganesha stood in front of thousands of expeditions and shouted in a loud voice.
“I will fight the enemies soon. A group of evil threatening the continent. They won’t stop until they destroy the entire continent. In other words, if we collapse here, it means that the whole family will die. We are the last hope and last bastion of the continent.”
The princess, who was giving a speech on her podium, scanned her audience with intense eyes.
“I will not make false promises that everyone will survive. … Will die a lot Of course I could die too. However, if you back down, everyone will die. Not only me, but also my loved ones, everyone will die. Seek no mercy from demons. Fight and die Even if you die, don’t you think it will be unfair if you die after giving the demons a shot?”
Princess Ganesha cried out desperately.
“There is no back. Everyone will run ahead. Here we show the devils the power of the continent. I’ll kick you out of here forever. To never see you again. So that this war will remain only as a legend!”
She lifted her own baby bottle. It shone in the reflection of sunlight.
“We are the main characters in that legend. It means that you are one of the main characters who are writing that legend. Come on, let’s go. To be remembered forever by posterity. Let’s go make a story that will serve as a side dish for the rest of our lives, you bastards!!”
Aaaaa!!!
Everyone was screaming and screaming. The expeditionary force, whose morale soared, moved forward without hesitation toward the demons. They confronted the enemy at a distance in the vast plains where the crops grew black and blue.
… At las… !
Jihyeok was nervous unlike usual. From afar, his dry saliva went straight to the terrifying aura of the Great Demon King. After being able to feel mana more clearly with the dragon’s blood, he learned the real truth of the Great Demon King.
… Looking back, he was a really strong guy. To the point that even though he has become this strong, victory feels uncertain. It was on a different level from the Demon Lords I had seen before. … He seemed to know why those proud demon lords bowed down to the great demon lord, Carmine.
The old man and Geralt also didn’t look so calm. It must be because they too felt the tremendous energy of the other person.
Jihyeok gathered all the S-class warriors, promising guild leaders, and mercenary captains. He suggested organizing the final death squad to kill the Great Demon King.
“The enemy has an incredibly strong presence. You see, he’s worse than the Demon King. … If only he is killed, all demons will disappear.”
“Is it really possible?”
When one of the guild leaders made such a weak voice, Kurdish old man responded.
“I have to deal with it even at the cost of my life. If he dies, the next hero will deal with him, and if he dies, the next one will collide. The moment you get scared, you lose before you even fight. If you can’t stop it anyway, everyone will die. Whether you die sooner or later, the result is the same, only the order is different.”
At that time, Jihyeok took the right to speak and said something.
“I think it’s good that everyone here joins the death squad to deal with him. If you leave the rest to those who remain, you should be able to deal with the enemies. … After all, the most important thing is the leader of the gnomes. If you defeat him, the rest will disappear by themselves.”
“I agree.”
Geralt said yes right away. After that, Gunda and Catherine continued to follow the wave of approval. More than half of the votes were already in favor, and those who opposed it had no choice.
“Then it was decided that everyone should deal with him. A disgruntled fellow?”
Ganesha glanced over the crowd. I could see the guy with some complaints, but he still didn’t speak out what was inside. The warriors are willing to give their lives and offer themselves to become a death squad, so how can they complain about it?
Thus, a society of exactly twenty-two was formed.
Truly the strongest team that has never been seen in history.
The history painter who was dispatched with them drew a quick sketch while watching their meeting up close. To create a scene that will remain as a legend in history books…
… Soon came the night that might be the last for someone.
Ji-hyeok, who tossed and turned from sleep due to tension, eventually got up from bed and took a walk at night.
He took each step carefully.
Thinking of my beloved wife, son, and soon-to-be-born child.
… Perhaps, Jihyeok didn’t know that this would be the end of the 15th episode.
Last, last…
Until this point, had Ji-hyeok had such a lot of regrets in his life?
He was very sorry for all of this.
My wife, my children, my guild, my colleagues… , Everything was precious to him. Relationships you don’t want to lose, and life… !
Jihyeok knelt down on his knees in the clearing where the moonlight poured in. And he earnestly prayed with his hands together.
If there is a god,
Please please this time
He felt sorry for himself and asked for help.
He continues to do so over and over again… , He earnestly prayed and prayed toward the sky.
