Chapter 71 – Chapter 71: The Demon Lord Corps Commander, Hero Seiji (5)
“This is Mir soon. In just one full day, you will arrive at the enemy’s stronghold.”
Duke Bolfar drove his men along with an adjutant familiar with the terrain in this vicinity.
1,000 cavalry and 10,000 infantry. And Article 500.
From the handyman to take care of supplies and the servants to assist the driver.
Including non-combatants, nearly 40,000 troops were moving.
It was a force gathered with the minimum number of troops to protect the borders and each territory.
And he himself became its commander-in-chief.
The shoulders are heavy.
This battle was a battle that depended on the fate of Aslan Kingdom.
A fight that cannot be lost.
Every time you approach your destination, your heart tightens.
‘Unstable.’
I went out after receiving the king’s order, but no matter how much I thought about it, something was uncomfortable.
The feeling of not cleaning up after going to the toilet.
I got the job done, but I feel like I’m in trouble because I can’t finish it meticulously.
‘I shouldn’t be anxious.’
The commander-in-chief of the operation always had to remain calm.
So.
Let’s concentrate.
Never shake
Day.
In just one day, you can attack the enemy’s stronghold.
No matter how strong the Demon King is, he will not be able to beat this number.
Enough to win
Enough.
Ayeek!
A groaning cry was heard in the distance.
***
Dullahan Vergio.
Seiji felt his heart break every time he saw Vergio’s decapitated corpse.
Most of his memories are gone, but the respect and admiration I once had for him remained, albeit faintly.
I hated seeing his miserable decapitated face.
I didn’t want to see the ugly side of someone I admired like this.
Fortunately, Vergio seemed to know Seiji’s side like that, and he didn’t try to appear in front of her often.
“You cannot make a living doing only good things in this world. So get used to it. In just a little while, Sir Vergio will be able to find his true form.”
Every time that happened, Vivian comforted Seiji.
Every time she was hugged by her tender breasts, she felt her anxiety and fear disappear.
She was comfortable
Every time she was held, she felt like she didn’t want to fall anymore.
So Vivian was good.
It always makes you feel comfortable.
She endured and endured until she reached Aslan’s capital.
Just a little longer and we’ll be able to get Sir Vergio back to normal.
I promise.
“You won’t be able to get in through the front door.”
“Why?”
Vivian laughed bitterly.
“Because Sir Vergio and I will be caught by the priest at the front gate.”
The capital was different from Mir.
Priests were stationed at each gate to inspect those who entered.
In order to save them if they were infected by Magi.
After Mir was occupied, high-level clerics were placed in the territory of the county or higher.
It was the reason they moved on the mountain road.
“At night, they climb over the walls.”
“Okay.”
Vergio, unable to nod, just stood there.
Seiji and his friends waited until the sun went down.
The sun has set, and darkness has come to Aslan.
Torches lit up all over the fortress walls.
In places with low walls, light magic illuminated the surroundings.
The defense was tight.
The moment I was thinking about how I could get in.
“Come here.”
Vivian, whose lower body became a spider, hung a spider’s web on the castle wall.
“Climb up.”
She was the one who could spin the web at her will.
It was a wall like this, nothing.
One person, one Dyurahan, and Arachne rode a spider’s web and climbed the wall.
At least there were no knights on the castle wall who were capable of noticing the three nimble beings moving in the dark.
“Didn’t the wind just blow?”
“I know. Will it rain?”
It just feels like a passing wind.
“How are you going to find the head?”
“Sir Vergio will come by himself. Because his head and body are still connected.”
“Then can we follow?”
“Right. But before we find Sir Vergio’s head, there’s work to be done.”
Seiji’s eyes widened.
What else is going on?
“Let’s do a very fun treasure hunt first.”
Vivian’s eye smile had a charm that drew people in.
“Yes…….”
Just like now
Vivian is great.
She feels like anything is possible if you listen to her.
Hearing her warm voice puts her heart at ease.
Seiji followed Vivian around the capital.
The result of wandering around for a long time avoiding the eyes of the soldiers.
“I found it.”
Vivian’s webs caught the black smoke that was wafting through the air.
Catching her black smoke like a tightly woven net catching her fish, Chan smiled.
What is that?
That black aura.
“Now let’s go back to find Sir Vergio’s head.”
Seiji nodded her head and moved to where Vergio’s head was buried.
At the forefront, Sir Vergio took the lead.
Vergio walked forward without his jerking.
And where they arrived.
– Honor and glory.
It was a cemetery for Aslan knights who died on the battlefield.
“Who are you!”
Again, there was a defensive force.
Awesome!
Sage cut them without hesitation.
In order to revive Vergio, he could do anything to kill people.
Because he is her teacher.
It was Sage whose ethics were completely shattered.
Deng! Deng! Deng!
The soldiers who heard the commotion started ringing the bell.
“Let’s finish quickly.”
Dyurahan walked away.
And the largest tomb located in the cemetery.
Dyurahan stood in front of him.
Then he raised his sword and released an aura.
Quaang!
Just like that, he destroyed the graveyard.
Cemetery collapsed, dirt dug up.
Wow!
Meanwhile, the soldiers were approaching.
Seiji drew his sword.
Her bright divine power mixed with her demonic energy, giving off a turbid light.
She gripped the grip of her sword firmly, thinking of a bell whenever the enemy came.
At that time, Dyurahan, who found the neck, pushed the cut section toward the neck.
Whoa!!
A black light spread.
The halo of light disappeared, and Dyurahan raised his head.
-Sage…… ?
It became a perfect Death Knight with blue eyes shining.
“Sir Vergio…….”
-Why are you? I was definitely killed by the Demon King…….
“Have you ever been in pain? Sir Vergio. I’m here to get you.”
-I don’t understand. I, obviously…….
Vivian was shocked to see Vergio, who was still of the opposite sex.
He was the one who died a long time ago.
His head was neglected for a long time, and he still has reason even with a head that has been damaged by rotting flesh.
By any chance, if Vergio had reason, he scattered the black mist he had told Death Knight to use.
“How long will you be chained to your lost body? Now you have to open your eyes to your mission. Sir Vergio.”
A black mist wrapped around his head.
The body already belongs to the Demon King.
All that remains is the head.
If even his head is corrupted, he too will live under the grace of the Demon King like them.
-Huh!
The fragments of rationality that remained were scattered.
-Ahhh…….
The color of the eyes, which had been shining blue, was contaminated with a red light.
-Sage, how have you been? You forgot about me for a while That I was with you even though I had no head.
“Ah, Sir Vergio!”
Sage was embraced by Vergio, who evolved into a Death Knight.
Vergio pressed Seiji’s arm tightly.
-Oh, you neglected your training. His forearms are softer than before.
“This is the taste of the Demon King.”
-Ah, I see.
At Vivian’s words, Vergio nodded his head.
I don’t know why, but I could feel my loyalty to him from deep inside Danjeon.
If that’s what you want, there’s nothing you can do about it.
The hero is also a child who serves the demon king.
Hehe, it’s a hobby I can’t relate to. Traditionally, women have to have muscles.
“That’s only Master. A strange hobby.”
– Heh heh, I also have a strange hobby. But even so, do not neglect training. Repeated training will make you stronger.
“I will do that when I return to Mir.”
-Now you have become a worthy warrior. Is he loyal to the Demon Lord?
“Insect… It is not a castle.”
– What if it’s not loyalty?
“I don’t know that far.”
-Is it? You’ll have to figure it out slowly. Why are you following the Demon King? Sage, as you know, you are a competent knight.
My heart was full.
The fact that she was recognized by her master reminded her even more.
“I’ll figure it out slowly. Thank you.”
-Good night. Let me take care of some things before that. Isn’t there a reason you came? It remained vaguely in the memory of the body that was separated. Are you trying to kill the king?
“You’re right.”
Vivian responded instead.
“Let’s go together. Sir Vergio.”
-Sure. I will take the lead.
Vergio took a step forward and drew his sword.
Seiji’s eyes turned to the oncoming soldiers.
– I’ll have fun fighting after a long time.
“Master, I’ll be by your side to help you.”
“I will give you my blessing.”
Two potentials and one buffer.
As if attacking a dungeon, the three beings defeated the invading guards.
“Yo, the hero betrayed the kingdom!”
“Sir Vergio has been resurrected as an undead!”
Fear spread to the soldiers and knights who confirmed the existence of the two.
They were the guardians of the kingdom until recently.
There was no hope in the eyes of those who confirmed that even such people had betrayed them.
“Eh, run away.”
“This can’t be beat…….”
“Ouch! Where is the wizard!”
It was truly an abyss.
Reverend II thought as he saw the warrior and the Death Knight coming in covered in blood.
‘The kingdom’s luck has run out in my generation.’
The capital was overrun by only three people.
Originally, because of the knight commander and warrior who guarded the kingdom, and an unknown goddess.
The king could do nothing.
To see the guards perish, to see his son perish, to see the royals perish, to see the knights annihilated.
It was all about just watching.
‘I got hit.’
Thought the king.
That everything was according to the devil’s plan.
The provocation of the diplomat who visited him was all a plan for the main force of the kingdom to leave the castle and head for Mir.
Having lost his troops, the leader of his knights, and even his hero, he thought he would fall prey to the provocation.
To use the moment when the main force is empty, to kill oneself…….
‘Am I really possessed by the devil?’
I couldn’t do anything because I was deceived, and all the assets of the kingdom were taken away.
If you die, will the nobles avenge you?
I do not know.
What is certain is that the stigma of being the king of a fallen kingdom will remain.
An incompetent king who lost his entire kingdom to the devil.
“Heh heh, that’s stupid. Foolish.”
The hero who killed everyone in the castle is approaching.
She was laughing
She was smiling brightly at killing people.
Like a child being praised.
‘It’s broken.’
The king, who knew her from her former days, recognized her at a glance.
That Sage had collapsed.
He knows that the hero he knows is not dead.
That she is no different from Vergio, the Death Knight who kills knights here and there.
‘What can I do?’
When I asked, no one could answer.
“Are you the king?”
“Yes.”
At least death will be greeted like a king.
“Did you send Sir Vergio to the Demon King?”
The king nodded his head at the hero’s question in an innocent voice.
“I sent To kill the Demon King.”
“Okay? That’s it.”
A smile appeared on the warrior’s face after hearing the answer.
She raised her holy sword and struck the king’s neck.
The king’s neck flew away, spraying blood.
His body collapsed helplessly, and he tumbled under the throne.
Reverend II, whose throat was blown away, did not hear Seiji’s last words.
“As expected, the Demon King was right.”
At that time, the jewel embedded in the center of the holy sword flickered like a living eye.
And those eyes were witnessing the death of the fallen king.
The hero who was called the guardian of the kingdom has completely fallen.
***
‘Vergio has evolved as planned.’
Feeling the connection with Dyurahan deepen, I intuitively realized that Seiji had successfully completed his mission.
Vivian did a good job.
From the front, he dazzles the enemy’s main forces with the demon army, and aims at the rear with the most elite.
I could move myself and aim for the rear capital, but if I did, I could be pushed back in a more important frontal power struggle.
There is a big difference between having a commander on the battlefield.
So the holy sword and the fall of the hero, the awakening of Vergio, and even the victory of the main unit.
In order to aim for 3rd place with one seat, I did a little too much.
Because the rear has done its job.
“Now we have to move too.”
I’ll have to be strong too.
He muttered as he looked at the Kingdom Army encamped outside the city.
