Chapter 518 – 147. The Meeting of the Two Demon Kings (1)
The Battle of Tizenkire Great Plain ended with a great victory for the allies.
“It was an incredible performance.”
Allied headquarters.
The alliance’s top commanders gathered there were in the middle of a post-war meeting.
Everyone’s faces brightened.
Although it was a large-scale battle, there were no casualties.
An army of 2,000 monsters filled with high-ranking monsters. And it was a battle that took place in the middle of the nest where the Transcendental Beast Jormungand appeared.
However, the demon army is annihilated.
Our forces suffered only 500 casualties, but still maintained a large force of 10,000.
The High Elf Master, Remiella, who is in charge of the alliance’s general.
She said in front of her commanders with a beaming face.
“It’s all thanks to Your Majesty’s performance! I was able to minimize the damage thanks to the perfect blockage of that transcendent demonic beast!”
All attendees agreed.
“Most of the casualties were also victims of the indiscriminate artillery bombardment that Jormungand started early in the war. If His Majesty had not dealt directly with Jormungandr, half of the allied forces would have… No, everyone might have become a tomb in Tizenkire Great Plains.”
Cried Lyles.
But unlike the commanders who were full of excitement.
Julian was silent. No, there was a little bit of sadness.
“Still, it is an unchanging fact that there are victims. I will hold a moment of remembrance for the victims.”
“I will follow your orders!”
The attendees put on a slightly embarrassed expression.
Although everyone was cheering and soaked in the thrill of a great victory.
Yulian was thinking of those who died in that battle together.
‘As expected, the dishes are different.’
Not only Lyles, but all the corps commanders like Aitekia had the same intentions.
“May the souls of the dead find rest in the bosom of the World Tree.”
Julian said quietly. And after he finished the memorial, he continued.
“It wasn’t a victory that I could have achieved with my own efforts. Knights allied with you. And thanks to the soldiers fighting together, we were able to minimize the damage.”
“Then… “
“So it would be right to say that the credit for this victory belongs to everyone.”
“It’s overrated!”
The commanders bowed their heads in unison.
Seeing that, Yulian smiled.
“I was just telling the truth. I will personally encourage them in front of the soldiers of the alliance tomorrow.”
“Are you all right! His Majesty must be extremely tired from the last battle… “
Remiella said with a worried expression.
Lyles felt the same way. Julian’s expression was determined.
“You and the soldiers are all tired. There will be more fierce battles in the future. You can’t be alone for them. It would be right for me, the leader, to directly encourage them.”
At those words, the faces of all the commanders changed.
Lyles knew why.
‘Your Majesty, the leader, is taking such an example. It can only be surprising.’
It is not an area for acting.
And it’s not something that can be learned.
Although there have been many monarchs and commanders in history.
Surprisingly, it wasn’t common for a boss to care about all the soldiers under him.
Leader of the New Alliance. He was the overlord, and he had a very noble lineage throughout the land of Issland.
Yulian did not just sit on the throne with an arrogant attitude.
‘He naturally melts into his people.’
Even Lyles, who was from the Royal Guard for no reason. Even Lyles, who had extremely high loyalty to the Asterisk family, did not swear allegiance to that Julian.
Lilia’s eyes were correct.
Yulian has an innate talent to charm the people around him.
And that fascination is incomparable to the volatile seduction of a succubus.
Truly, it has a nobility that makes one kneel before him. He’s not about to crush people with authority.
It was his talent as a monarch, spontaneously influencing the people around him through his own actions.
‘What was written in Her Majesty Lilia’s letter was correct. She wrote that even I, a member of the Royal Guard, will eventually become loyal to His Majesty Julian.’
Tiresdo, who is currently the leader of the Imperial Guard. Although the current emperor, Lillia, deserves to be respected as a leader.
It’s to the point that the light is diluted in front of the young leader right in front of you.
Lyles looked at that Julian and once again firmly held his heart.
‘There is nothing to be afraid of with His Majesty Yulian.’
It was said that he was in the middle of the mountain, and the battle immediately before was no different from a preview of the great battle that would unfold in the future.
Duke Pedro’s Caceres Army. And the Demonic Beast Army of Apostle Euranes is now gathering towards Yekares, the capital of the Demon Kingdom.
A great battle that will decide the fate of the Demon Kingdom.
No, it will be a great battle that will decide the future of Island.
Everyone in the allies already knows about Knoia’s resurrection.
And that only if we win the battle that will take place in the capital city can we protect Island against the Demon God.
But Lyles and any other top commanders. There was no fear in those eyes.
Only eyes of trust toward Yulian.
The meeting went on for a long time.
The next destination, Yekares, the capital of the Demon Kingdom. And the main agenda was how to unite with the current Demon King of the Demon Kingdom, the Eastern Demon Lord Army of Ustina.
“I have a means of contacting Ustina. That Ustina and I will talk directly. I will tell you the results within a few days.”
Perhaps, it seemed that there was a special magic that was handed down to the demons.
At Yulian’s words, the faces of the demon commanders hardened.
Lyles had already heard of Ustina.
‘A very powerful old dragon that is said to be the greatest power of the Demon Kingdom. And they were said to be a clan of red dragons known for their ferocity.’
If I could become an ally, I would be more reassured than anyone else.
The demons of her allies did not follow her as her demon king. So even the human Lyles knew very well that cooperation with Ustina would not be easy.
‘The important thing is negotiation.’
On this battlefield, Julian had already performed an active role that was close to being a myth or a legend.
However, the work of a warlord or prosecutor and the work of a negotiator are completely different areas.
However, if it was Yulian. Somehow, I even look forward to that.
“I will trust you and wait for you!”
The demon commanders spoke in unison. At those words, Yulian nodded his head.
“You will be tired too. The meeting is here. Disband everyone.”
And Julian ordered the commanders to rest.
Indeed, he left the barracks to encourage his soldiers.
***
‘I’m tired.’
Fatigue piled up again.
The allied army was marching eastward. The two apostles, Pedro and Euranes, will gather together.
Only when the Demon King’s army unites and fights against them will they be able to win against those unprecedentedly powerful enemies.
So far I’ve been quite satisfied.
He accepted Lilia’s proposal and became the leader of the Island Alliance.
Even though it was said that there was recognition from the emperor of the empire. It was myself who actually held that alliance together.
And with the unprecedented combination of an alliance between humans and demons, they won a great victory.
As a result, my position as the leader and a hero who defeated the enemy commander at the forefront of the fierce battle rose rapidly in the Demon Kingdom.
I heard the news of the Empire from the Witch Messenger not too long ago.
Essenmund. It is said that the maternal grandfather, together with the White Night Knights, finally annihilated the northern apostle Graiel and his Demon Beast Army.
With that news, the formation of a new alliance. And when the news of the victory is delivered, a new public opinion will be formed throughout Island.
‘A new alliance against the demon Knoia.’
The current alliance will breathe new hope into the Islanders, who are despairing of the Witchbeast.
Also, as the owner of that alliance, the final proof is.
After all, reigning at the top of the Demon Kingdom. When you become a demon king who has not part of the kingdom, but all of it in your hands, you have certain power as the leader.
‘Expel the Caceres Army and the Demonic Beast Army that invaded the Demon Kingdom… It means that I have to take over the title of demon king from Ustina.’
It gave me a headache.
Although the current allied forces were strong enough to win a great victory over Jormungand’s Demonic Beasts.
Looking at it calmly, it is weaker than Pedro’s Caceres.
‘Though the number of troops would be similar. Now that Knoia is resurrected, the demons and magical beasts have no choice but to become more powerful.’
If the demonic beast army of the apostle Euranes joins it.
Allies alone are absolutely impossible. In the end, complete cooperation with Ustina’s Eastern Demon King’s Army is necessary.
The talks for that cooperation were all prepared.
A meeting in a dream borrowed the power of Remegeton and Luiril, Grand Duchess of Lust.
Of course, only me and Ustina, other than the demon grand dukes, could participate.
So, I can’t be with any working staff for negotiations.
I had to be in charge of the post-processing of the last battle, the work, and the preparation for the negotiations.
Although Eirin and the staff of the allied forces worked together to help.
After all, I had to be involved in all of it. Fatigue can’t help but accumulate.
‘The recoil from using the new Midnight Sun is still there… ‘
Midnight dog after stabilization.
And even though that technique was powerful enough to kill even Jormungandr, a transcendent monster, with one blow.
The driving principle didn’t really make sense.
An 8th tier giant mana heart.
The Mana Heart had to be used twice to refine the different powers of Magi and Aura to the maximum.
To use a simple analogy, a fully charged, large-capacity battery is discharged in an instant.
Quick charge in that state. After filling the battery, discharge it again. Then, the different energies discharged are compressed and exploded.
‘In the first place, the principle itself doesn’t make sense.’
Emptying all mana hearts leads to madness.
Temporarily become a normal person’s body. However, such an eccentricity was necessary in order to accomplish the unprecedented fusion of Magi and Aura.
‘Well, the effect is certain instead.’
A rapid-accelerating technique called the Lucia method. And it’s possible because of my body, which is so durable and output is strong.
Anyway, to talk about the conclusion, the last secret skill has significantly weakened my energy now.
Just like you were treated by Remiella before. It would be nice if we could share sexual love for a while. There wasn’t even enough time for that.
“Even a little bit of free time is spent encouraging the soldiers… I’m worried that the young master’s body will get sick like this.”
“I’m fine. Eirin. More quickly than that… I have to have a meeting with Ustina as soon as I go to sleep tonight. If not today, time… “
“Young master… Rest is important, though. As soon as the meeting is over, please leave the paperwork to me and the staff for the time being… “
“Yes. I should do that. But I have to work until tonight.”
And Eirin, who was helping me with my work, looked at me with a worried expression.
‘Coming to think of it, there was a famous warlord who died young at a young age.’
In the primitive times when Unir and Jedin did not exist.
On Earth, there was a great monarch named Alexander the Great. He didn’t really want to brag about comparing me to him.
At least, there was a little bit of anxiety that I might really die young like that great king.
‘Even if you sleep… I should at least sleep.’
Although my eyes were really closed. Still, there was still work to be done, so I ended up keeping my eyes open for about three more hours.
And when you really feel like you’re going to pass out.
I fell asleep screaming fiercely at Eirin.
“Conversation… Safely… I will be back. Eirin… Coul… “
I didn’t even hear Eirin’s answer and entered the dream as it was.
It smelled different from my usual dreams.
A world of dreams created by Luiril, Duke of Lust. It was a world of intrigue created by the Queen of Succubus.
‘The smell of sulfur?’
Ruiril is a demon, especially the great evil.
So, if the world of dark dreams had been turned into a hell, it wouldn’t be strange if it smelled of sulfur.
But I was puzzled. After walking around for a while, rather than the bleak scenery of Hell, a cozy place soon caught my eye.
Unexpectedly, the background of the dream was a hot spring. It smelled like a sulfur spring.
‘What happened?’
Ruiril, who obviously provided a place for the meeting.
Me and Ustina, the current owners of Remegeton. I told the two that I would set it in a neutral location.
‘A hot spring is good for me, but… ‘
A steaming open-air hot spring. It was a very desirable place for me to fall asleep exhausted from exhaustion.
Essenmund, famous for its cold weather, has a well-developed hot spring culture. I can’t help but love the bath too.
Outside, it was snowing like the snowfields of Essenmund.
An instinctive need for survival kicked in.
‘I want to soak… ‘
I couldn’t stand it because I saw a hot spring that seemed to completely relieve fatigue.
The moment you inadvertently move your feet into the hot spring. I met someone there.
“Hmm? Who are you?”
Red hair. And a woman with all her clothes off said to me.
