Corruption in the Dungeon 70

Chapter 70 – Episode 70 the Demon Lord Corps Commander, the Brave Seiji (4)

The King of Aslan Kingdom, Reverel II, continued the discussion with his subjects about how to recover the city of Mir.

“Not as much as the mobilization order! Not only the lords, but also the commoners are harmed!”
“The quality of troops is more important than numbers in attacking the Demon Castle!”
“Ask the Imperial Army for reinforcements!”

Some of the nobles were still reluctant to mobilize troops.
Because of them, the time for the soldiers to gather was delayed.
Why don’t you know that you shouldn’t give it time.

The king was frustrated.
These stupid servants.

“Your Highness, I sent a diplomatic envoy from the Devil Castle.”

It was a report from an article that came in during the meeting.

“A diplomatic envoy in the castle?”
“What kind of diplomacy is the devil! Kill me right away and cut my throat!”
“Disrespectful! How can such heretical children be born!”

Reverend II beckoned.

“Come in.”
“Majesty!”
“How!”

If a diplomatic envoy arrives, it is polite to greet them.
Even if it was from the demon lord.
If the being is a demon, there are enough Kingdom Knights and Priests to stop it.

A young man in a robe walked into the meeting room.

Except for the old robe, it was a fairly neat appearance.
The blond man, who looked to be in his twenties, bowed his head to the king.

“Meet the King.”
“Are you the king’s envoy?”
“Yes, it’s Chief Alcom, who brought a letter containing the will of the Demon King.”
“It’s the village chief……. It’s amazing. At that young age? Did you borrow the devil’s power?”
“I’m sorry, but the small person is an old man over 60 this year.”

At those words, the surroundings murmured.
Who would see that man as an old man?
It’s an outrageous lie.

“Demon King gave me grace and helped me live with such a young appearance.”
“Tell me that it’s a letter.”

Useless words to seduce people.
It would be embarrassing to give such a man a chance to say something else.

Chow!

– Surrender. Then both you and your people will live, otherwise all who resist will die.

Everyone heard
A message from the Demon King delivered by Rcom.

Some nobles shut his mouth.

A certain noble looked at the king.

Some nobles were angry instead of the king.

One of the knights put a hand on his sword.

“This is crazy…….”

Upon hearing the insulting letter from the demon king, Reverend II’s eyes widen.
Both eyes were bloodshot red due to blood vessels.

Dare.
How dare you kill all the soldiers in the kingdom?

“Does the demon lord scorn me!”
“This is the Demon King’s message. So surrender. That is the way everything can end peacefully.”
“Jim tried to be patient, but he was rude to the end. Hear the knights! Cut off the head of the diplomat in front of you and send it to the Demon King as a gift!”

The king gnashed his teeth and shouted.

“I will avenge Sir Vergio.”

Sreung!

The knights drew their swords.

Seeing this, Rcom also drew his sword.
I don’t know swordsmanship at all, but it doesn’t matter.
He’s already prepared to die.

“To dare to resist the Demon King, you fools!”

Alcom’s eyes shone brightly.
It was a look stained with madness.
Even experienced veteran knights were startled by Rcom’s madness.

“Come! I will kill you and I too will go to the utopia.”

The aura-emitting knight’s sword and Alcom’s sword collided and sparks flew.

“What is this…… ?”

Even though he was an ordinary person who could not even handle an aura, his sword did not break.
As if the sword had a will, as if he would never break when he did his duty.

“Aaaaagh!”

Alcom’s fight was desperate.
Although there is no sword, his sword has destroyed every spot it passes through.
It was a violent sword.

Awesome!

“Keah!”

One knight’s arm was cut off.
Rcom’s arm flew off as well.
Another knight’s armor was cut off.
Alcom’s leg was blown off.

Even with one of his arms and legs missing, he resisted.

There were no screams.

Haha! See! See! Heaven that the Demon King will lead you to. A world where eternal youth will lead…….”

Alcom’s face, which had lost too much blood, lost its liveliness.

A face full of joy was the last expression he made.

The knights felt eerie.
It was because he had seen the unbelievable destructive power of an attack that did not spare his own body.

As Rcom died, black smoke billowed from his corpse.

“What is this!”

Everyone covered their bodies by covering their noses and mouths.
Knights surrounded the king.
Maybe it was black magic, the priests stretched out their hands and released their holy power.

Whoa!

The smoke rising from his body disappeared through the window.

“Hey, what is this…….”

Everyone looked dumbfounded at the direction the smoke had disappeared and at the corpse.

“Demon King, you bastard! How dare you play tricks on the capital of the Holy Kingdom!”

The king was genuinely furious.
Anger was easily contagious, and many nobles sympathized with the king’s voice.
The nobles who said they had to support the empire’s troops.
All the nobles who said they shouldn’t send troops were sympathizing with the king at this moment.

Priests and wizards checked to see if it was curse magic, but no toxins were found.

“It seems fine right now. It could be toxic gas, so ventilation is needed.”

After using Purification, the knights approached Alcom’s corpse and decapitated him.

“Duke Volfar, send troops as soon as the troops are gathered.”
“All right. Majesty.”
“Wrap that bastard’s head and send it to Mir Castle as a gift right away!”

There was not a single aristocrat to oppose here.
And after a few days

“Everyone, send troops to Mir!”

The entire army of Aslan Kingdom moved to Mir.

***

I received a report from Ariana that the Kingdom’s army is moving.
I was worried about what would happen if I failed.

‘You succeeded. Rcom.’

I checked the box containing Rcom’s head delivered to the castle gate.
It’s unfortunate.
As much as the spirit of sacrifice, he was a complete subordinate.

“Don’t bury it in a nice place. Will remember you I will kill those who killed you as miserably as possible.”

It was an opportunity made by his noble sacrifice.
The kingdom’s troops, which would have been stationed in the castle and only defended, actively showed up and headed for Mir.
Now it was time to send Sage to the kingdom’s capital.
If she is, she will surely succeed.

“Sage.”
“Yes, Demon King, sir.”

She was still a sage who was awkward calling me.

“Do you want Vergio to return to normal?”
“Yes…….”
“Well then. I think it would be best to go to the capital of the kingdom at this time.”

Sage looks at me and blinks her eyes.

“Maybe?”
“Where the head sleeps.”
“Ah…….”
“I’m ready, so let’s go. You should go with Vergio and Vivian.”
“Yes.”
“And if you meet the Liar King there…….”
“I will kill you. Because liars must die.”
“I know you well.”

I stroked Seiji’s hair.

She smiled cryptically.
He seemed confused whether he was in a good mood or not.

“And if you go, go in this direction.”

I pointed to a mountain road, not a road.
The road was the way the main force of the kingdom army would come.
It was difficult for the warriors to meet them on the way. If you do, all the plans you made ahead of time will be twisted.
So, the enemy’s main force led them to a different place than the way they would come.

“I know.”

The king will not go out.
In the capital, you will want a commander more capable than yourself to occupy the city.

If the king sends troops himself, I can handle it.
What if that’s not the case?
The hero will kill the king of Aslan Kingdom.

Aslan’s heir, the prince, is still young. If the king dies without a proper successor, what will happen to the kingdom?
Dividing and collapsing is an instant.

It is an inevitable limitation of the medieval kingdom.
The king and his subjects are made up of contractual relations.

A fight between the strong will begin to occupy that position.
The strongest will rule the kingdom anew.

“Go carefully. Don’t get hurt.”
“Yes, Demon King, sir.”
“Bergio would look weird if he left it as is, so I’ll just put on a hood and cover part of his face.”

Seiji set off with Vivian and Vergio.

I saw Seiji’s back as she exited the castle.

The pride of the kingdom, and the fate of being destroyed by the hero who protects the kingdom.
Isn’t that ironic?
A future where my heart is stamped with the sword I believed in.

While Seiji works hard on his mission, I can’t sit around either.

“Billat.”
“Yes, Demon King.”

Brainwashed by Vivian, Villat hung his head and waited for his command.

“If we build human soldiers, how much can we recruit?”
“Currently, the number of soldiers that can be recruited in Mir City is 500. This is an unavoidable result because many of them died in battle with the Demon Lord. However, if you include the number of people in the slums, it is possible to reach 1,500 people.”
“Have you excluded the slums so far?”
“Yes, because until now they had no right to defend themselves.”
“Is it? If armed, how long will it take?”
“We’re maxing out the forge, but it’s going to take a while. It is difficult to be prepared before the kingdom army arrives.”
“I get it. First of all, I will recruit only as many troops as there are weapons, and prepare for battle.”
“All right.”

Humans and monsters standing as allies on the same battlefield.
The kingdom army will be frightened if they see it.

I smiled and made up the face of the battle ahead.
Strategy simulation.
What else can I do better than this?

Just then, Rayleigh opened the door to the meeting room and entered.

“Demon King, a guest has arrived.”
“Guest?”

Who is it?
This time.

As she flicked her hand, Rayleigh nodded her head, and soon a group of people passed her.

“Who are you?”
“Cows, cows are an envoy from Olbetz Castle, located near Mir.”
“Olbets?”

It was a very small estate located near Mir.

“What is going on?”
“Oh, the lord of Olbets has brought a document stating that he is surrendering to the Demon King.”

Surrender

***

“Mama Vivian, Seiji wants to rest.”
“It’s not long now. I see it over there. The capital of Aslan.”
“Can we rest in the capital?”
“I take a break after I finish all my work.”
“Nope…….”
“Don’t worry. Mama will do good for you.”
“Sage likes good things.”

Vivian saw.
Black smoke rising from the capital of Aslan Kingdom.

That must be where Vergio’s head is buried.

“Now, let’s go see the real Vergio.”
“Yea, I got it.”
