Chapter 77 – Chapter 75 – Luggage
The feeling that everything had been solved, Sun-ah was relieved.
After learning that my parents suffered more because of what I had been hiding from myself, I just wanted to cherish myself.
The pitch-dark night and dawn had already passed and the sun was rising.
I felt for the first time now that the sun in the demon realm was as bright as the earth.
An expedition will come soon.
.
.
.
The situation of the expedition was not good.
Most of the fighting force was lost to this point, and most of the remaining were non-combatants.
Now, what remains is around 200 combat troops and 300 non-combatants.
Obviously, the combat troops came three times as many as the non-combat troops, but most of them died and now the ratio of troops is unbalanced.
They gathered quite a few Awakeners with healing abilities, but those mysterious assailants who attacked them without being able to heal their colleagues.
It was a situation that I never imagined that I would run into them when I reached the front of the succubus’ territory.
Inevitably, the deputy expedition leader himself was blocking them by borrowing half of the combatants to save even the non-combatants.
I thought it would be nice if the remaining one hundred and fifty escorted them back to Earth safely.
Considering the strength of Mina, who was promoted to expedition leader, even if those gangsters enter the territory to annihilate the non-combatants and remaining guards, it will be solved by Mina, who infiltrated first.
The only thing left for him was to tie their feet as much as possible.
For those returning…
.
.
.
In order to return to Earth, the expedition was puzzled when they saw the open gate in front of the territory.
With the pursuers chasing them from behind, they had no time to properly think about the question.
Looking inward, I felt safe and hoped that I could return to Earth through the gate.
Mina saw the expedition she brought from the top of the castle wall.
I was able to recognize it at a glance because I was in a state where I had increased my eyesight by raising my sensory enhancement ability.
The deputy expedition leader was nowhere to be seen.
Almost half of the fighting force was nowhere to be seen.
Something must have happened.
She jumped off the wall and questioned the first team members.
“Where are the leader expedition Min-ada, the deputy expedition leader, and the rest of the troops?”
The members of the expedition were surprised to see Mina who jumped from above, but when they noticed that she looked like the leader of the expedition they knew, she calmed down and reported.
“The assailants who were attacking us raided our hideout in the valley. The deputy expedition leader decided to tie them up and we set off for this territory first at the appointed time.”
Hearing the situation, Mina learned what kind of end the deputy leader of the expedition would face.
I paid my respects in my heart to the deputy expedition leader who sacrificed to save them and the combatants who remained there.
“First of all, since the situation is urgent, I will take over the command. I will head to the gate first.”
It was difficult to protect the expedition if they were attacked in the city center by demons.
I had to open the gate and return to Earth as soon as possible.
Since the lord had opened the gate in advance, he had to lead his troops to move.
It wouldn’t take long for those assailants to annihilate the deputy expedition leader and the remaining combat troops…
.
.
.
Mina arrived at the gate with the combat troops.
The non-combatants were first culled and sent back to Earth.
Youngju doesn’t have much time.
Only one small gate was left open.
That’s why it was impossible to guarantee that the assassins would not come until the entire expedition had left.
Minah had no choice but to send non-combat troops first, instead of sending the combat troops, she thought of stopping the assailants.
As if she proves that she was right.
As most of the non-combat troops had left, the assassins appeared.
They don’t know the identity of those monsters who have been harassing them, but they are no longer their opponents.
Before she reached the valley, seven people died from being cut by herself.
Seven out of thirty.
It may be a small number, but the last person who died was cut apart by his own sword and died.
At first, they bumped their swords several times, but now they have not shown up since they learned that they can kill the assassins with a single attack.
Perhaps it was suddenly in a hurry, we gave up the hit-and-run tactic that gnawed at our troops and chose the downtown area as the battlefield, where there was no way to retreat from each other.
They looked like they were preparing for death.
.
.
.
After accepting the order, the 30 royal knights were decided as a platoon.
The longest-serving commander was carrying out orders to annihilate the armed human groups that had invaded Pandemonium, capture their leaders, and send them to the interrogation room of the council as written in the order.
Their size was so great that at first they chose a tactic to gnaw through their troops.
Since there were no proper strongmen, it was good for the elite to attack from the front, but it was a tactic prepared in case the loss of troops would be too great.
But gradually things changed.
The enemy commanders were as strong as demons with magical powers.
And because of the strength and ability comparable to the high-ranking demons like themselves, the knight sent to gnaw the troops ran away without even bumping his sword a few times.
After that, I chose to avoid the woman and reduce the enemy’s combat strength.
There were already seven comrades who died at the stronger hands of that human woman who seemed to be getting stronger and stronger.
I can’t even imagine how strong I am now.
If he let them go, he would be demoted as a commander and his comrades his would be executed.
The current situation in Congress is not good.
If he failed to carry out even such a small order, it was obvious that he would be named as a rebel in the political element.
If so, he would be assigned the task of punishing the high-ranking demons who rebelled in order to prove his innocence.
In the end, he will be relegated to the front line to suppress the rebellion, and his comrades will be executed without even a chance.
It was a fight from which there was no way to give up.
At that time, something caught the eye of the Royal Knight Commander.
A boy who looks similar to that boss.
Perhaps the family is clear.
He had been hiding it for so long that he never found it during the raid.
He couldn’t help but remember that he had such a striking appearance.
Especially if it looks like the woman who killed his comrades his.
If he hid how precious his family was so well, he would be worth it as a hostage.
.
.
.
The lord now knew who the attackers were.
Royal knight.
The limbs of the royal family, the lineage of the demon king, and the sword of the council.
Because they were never to be resisted.
If this situation was reported to the council, they would also be executed for being involved with those who rebelled.
However, if he closed the gate now, his head would run away in Mina’s hands her.
A dilemma.
The lord eventually left the gate open and ran away.
It would have been difficult for them to find their own.
It was a state where the territories wore hoods so that they could not see themselves sending humans back to Earth.
If this was over and the censure came in, there was only one way.
There was no other way than to pass it on to someone else.
At that time, Miel appeared in the lord’s mind.
Her own youngest daughter her, imprisoned in her dungeon and destined for her tomorrow’s execution.
It would be better to die with dignity than to just die.
With such thoughts, the lord fled to his castle.
Quickly before the royal knights find themselves.
.
.
.
Fifteen Royal Knights were sent to overwhelm the evacuating humans.
The other seven, including himself, were ordered to face the fighting forces in a scattered state.
The most experienced and fastest of them all, he intended to attack the combat troops and take hostage a boy who looked like that human chief woman.
It was only possible for him to stand at the forefront of the current battle.
He quickly fired his sword at the human fighters in front of him.
Without even reacting, the human body was separated into two.
Without stopping the momentum, he swung his sword at both sides of the human being separated in half and cut the human standing in the front row again.
It was moving forward, stabbing and slicing, turning humans into chunks of meat marinated in blood.
Since the 15 royal knights he sent first were guerrillas, it would take longer before the boss came to deal with us.
Perhaps those 15 I sent first will surely die.
However, if they failed to complete their mission, they would only die.
At least the seven of us had no choice but to take that boy hostage and take at least the head of the expedition to the interrogation room.
As soon as I finished that thought, most of the humans in front of me had already disappeared.
The road had been cut through to where the boy was.
Seizing the opportunity, he quickly launched his body forward.
Even though she knew that she was running towards a human boy, as if she had been frightened by the fact that she had slaughtered humans.
No human stood in his way her.
Everyone is like that.
It is natural that one’s own life is more valuable than the lives of others.
All that was left was to see for himself whether the boy was worth taking as a hostage.
The end of the battle was approaching.
Fulfillment of the order awaited.
