Chapter 494 – 141. Counterattack Prelude (2)
Lasliel was speechless.
Although she was once evaluated as a dark elf, she was beautiful enough to be compared to Remi Ella.
Her face was now very distorted.
“Why are those guys unharmed! Why is it not submerged!!”
But neither generals. None of the staff could answer that.
They were also shocked at the same time.
Shoot aaaaa-
Relatively highlands. It was raining so hard that even the headquarters of the Demon Beast Army upstream was filled with water.
An artificial storm created by concentrating Aquarithe’s magical power.
So, the headquarters of the Western Demon King’s Army located in the lowlands. It had to be flooded like this.
“Lasliel-sama… We also don’t know how this is possible… At all. Even though I didn’t see any wizards or alchemists manipulating the waterways like last time…”
Mitiel, the chief of staff, said with his body shaking.
It wasn’t because of the anger of the commander-in-chief, Lasliel.
All of the Dark Elves and other demons gathered here became demons by deeply implanting demon soul stones into their mana hearts.
What they’re shaking
It was because of the appearance of the Western Demon King’s headquarters that deviated from common sense.
Even in a storm of the size of a large typhoon that lasted for three hours. That headquarters was unharmed without being submerged in the slightest.
They weren’t standing still either.
Taking lessons from not being able to submerge the Western Demon King’s Army during the first round.
If you ever try to change the water path. The strategy was set up to thoroughly shoot the magicians and alchemists.
However, no such movement was seen.
Even though I can’t see the Western Demon King’s army manipulating the water like that. The same thing happened now, and they panicked even more.
That wasn’t all.
“The skirmishers have a report! A large number of knights from the Western Demon King’s Army have appeared in the outermost deterrent line.”
“Like a dog…”
Lasliel’s clenched fists trembled in rage.
But this was not the time to be so idly.
The Western Demon Lords are strong.
As much as she was once a member of the Royal Knight.
As much as she is a master-level swordsman who was recognized for her skills along with Ramiella. She couldn’t stand by as the Demon Knights charged.
“Create a formation centered on dragon-type monsters! And the Demons should coordinate with the Type 1 Witchbeasts and control the Witchbeasts! Our power is much stronger! There is nothing to be embarrassed about when they come!”
Quickly she sorted things out.
The commanders who received her order hurriedly left the barracks.
Lasliel bit her pointed fingernails.
‘I don’t know what kind of tweaks she used… But this is not the case. She used Aquarithe’s dragon heart to create an empire-level nest. I can deal with them well enough.’
And she smiled mischievously.
As long as there is an aquarite. Victory is still on this side.
Even though that person named Julian is stronger than a Master.
Although she and I have been told that she has dragon blood. He rated his skills so highly that he had nothing to fear even if he thought he was an old dragon.
‘Aquarite is famous for being strong even among ancient dragons.’
Demonic Beasts directly connected to that old dragon. Because her large-scale monsters are following her.
Woo woo woo woo-
And it was Lasliel who was directly manipulating the aquarite.
I felt a huge demon power rushing into her mana heart.
“Haa… Haa… The power of the mighty Knoia is upon me… Haa… Lord Euranes has appointed me commander-in-chief here… I will surely bring victory!”
After a while
Lasliel also directly participated in the battle.
But even there, Lasliel witnessed an unbelievable sight again.
***
“Everything went as the lord said!”
General Aitekkia shouted loudly.
And the surrounding high nights were startled by the appearance.
The white-haired Aitekkia always had a cold expression on his face.
The white dragon’s face was flushed with excitement now.
“The general reacted so violently. This is the first time for me, who has been seeing him for a long time.”
And a cold shield. Krien, who is in charge of the unit commander, quietly spoke to me.
He was active as my closest aide in the second game this time.
Like his father’s favored subordinate. His skills as a prosecutor were great.
‘And that Aitekia too.’
It was not for nothing that he was a general and one of the strongest of the Royal Knights.
Just a moment ago, he personally slaughtered dozens of higher-ranking monsters and returned to me.
Of course, in the battle between the vanguards a few days ago, the number of monsters I slaughtered was over a hundred. But his skills were by no means lacking.
‘No. Even if you look at the whole of Island, he’s a strong player in the top 15.’
And the strong of the Royal Knights. Their eyes were on me.
I cried.
“At this point, you have kept your promise to the Lords.”
They bowed their heads in unison.
Western Demon King. Among them, 500 elite people gathered around the Royal Knight.
The brave knights of the Royal Knight. Even the High Nights still couldn’t forget the nightmare of a few days ago.
The scene where their comrades were swept away by the overflowing water and became water ghosts.
So let’s start raining again in the canyon. They were helplessly afraid.
Before I charge them into the aquarite’s lair, which is the place of death. Reassured everyone.
– Unir’s protection is with me. Nothing like the storms of Aquarius will stop me!
That is the promise I made to the elite.
And I looked at Aitekia for a while.
With Yongin’s excellent eyesight, it seemed as if he could see the headquarters of the Western Demon King’s army down there.
“The headquarters is safe! The strength of the Western Demon King’s army is also the same!”
Cheers erupted from the knights all at once.
It’s still raining so much that my whole body is wet. There was no previous great flood.
“The water is overflowing to some extent… But at this rate, there seems to be no problem with the advance.”
Said Creen.
And at his word. Inwardly I thanked my lovers.
‘Everyone worked hard.’
They have been busy enough to work all night for the past few days.
Of course, the work they did was to control the waterway of the canyon that would overflow again.
But I couldn’t use the same method as last time.
‘If you build a dam or a channel that openly changes the flow of water. My lovers are in danger of being shot.’
These guys aren’t just a legion of demons.
According to Remi Ella and her staff, the Dark Elves joined the demon army.
Plutia’s apostle said she was the queen of the dark elves.
Among them, there were quite a few Royal Knights. The commander-in-chief who is now leading Aquarithe’s Demon Beast Army is said to be Remiela’s Royal Knight motive.
So I talked a lot with my lovers.
The conclusion from that talk. Unless you can control the flow of water above the ground.
It was a way to control the water underground.
‘I made a huge underground aqueduct.’
It’s not just a building, it’s a huge civil engineering project.
It wasn’t about digging in a small area.
However, my lovers are the wizards of the Western Demon Army. And in cooperation with the alchemist, he did it.
‘Time was tight, though. Fortunately, it was possible.’
Eirin and Cecilia designed the underground canal.
And the specific work was led by Rosette and Chloe. Not only that.
‘Even Rumi helped me.’
Rumi settled down with Erti in Siertia.
Cryolite and Snow Spirit. Rumi helped work with the underground water more smoothly with the tremendous power of the spirit king class.
Because the ground froze a dangerous place at once. Together with Rosette and Chloe, it created a tremendous synergistic effect.
Groundwater for disposable use anyway. So, the work was carried out in an instant.
And finally, the underground aqueduct neutralized Aquarite’s storm.
“It seems that the blessing of the goddess is really with the lord! It’s… A miracle! Your lord even directly controlled that storm!”
And the detailed inside story is Remiella and Aitekkia. Only a handful of staff members who assisted in the work were aware of it.
“His Highness Julian created a miracle!”
“Lord Julian! Lord Julian!”
The morale of the elites on the march increased even more.
This is my number of goals. They did what this storm was neutralized. I was mistaken for a miracle I had created myself.
Of course, I led the plan. It wasn’t all lies.
‘Anyway, it’s as I thought.’
I promised my knights safety.
And indeed they survived the storm. However, I do not know the truth of what happened.
In their eyes, it will look like a miracle that I created.
‘Well… Even if I became an elder dragon. Unless you’re a blue dragon like Aquarithe, you can’t change the climate.’
But what matters is their morale and trust.
My stomach was heating up.
The knights’ reverence for me is creating a large amount of demonic energy all at once. That Magi was focused on Yeokrin.
And I sensed that the time had come.
‘Because I haven’t had enough demonic energy for a while since my last high dragon transformation. I couldn’t go back to being an old dragon.’
The current 8th hierarchy is still incomplete.
He accomplished in less than a year what could have taken hundreds of years.
That’s something I can’t help since I’m God’s creation.
So, I used various methods to cover the gigantic magic power approaching the realm of god.
From the demon archduke. Or from the magic that Unir left behind. With the divinity transmitted from the transcendent, it transcended human limitations.
But now it was different.
As Unir himself declared to me.
I was now becoming a true apostle of God.
Beyond mere reverence for rulers. When their faith turns into faith in me.
The mighty power of dominion over me completely. Magi is newly formed.
Because that’s not the power handed down from Unir. Because of his faith in me, the gathering speed of demons is much higher.
Because I can create infinite possibilities in response to my will.
‘Then it’s my turn to work again.’
Groundwater is a temporary solution.
As it is, if the Demon Beast Army ignores Aquarite’s consumption of demonic soul power and pours more rain for several days.
The area is bound to flood again.
If so, this moment that was temporarily created. This means that we have to turn this opportunity into a perfect counterattack.
I raised Siertia and shouted.
“I promise you once again! I, Julian’s protection, will be with you. As an apostle of the goddess, I swear! The Royal Knights gathered here will make a breakthrough for the counterattack with me! Prepare to charge towards the enemy camp!”
At those words, the eyes of the Royal Knights changed.
A wave attack towards the enemy camp.
With 500 elites, the enemy’s headquarters. If only I could clear the path to that demon’s lair in a short time.
We were able to seize a clear victory in this gorge battle.
“I will follow your command!”
All at once they shouted. And I reciprocated their favor.
“I will clear the way first.”
Woo woo woo woo-
Siertia left my hand and resonated in the air.
I felt the huge demonic energy quickly entwine the dragon heart.
8th tier dragon heart. All of those veins were filled with demonic energy at once.
At the same time, a huge flash of light enveloped me.
Oh oh oh oh-
I turned into an ancient dragon and flew up in front of the knights.
