Divinity Academy’s Crazy Demon Lord’s Son 509

Chapter 509 – 144. A New Alliance (4)

The 5th Corps of the Imperial Army.

They are a unit to deal with the Southern Cáceres Army, which has officially rebelled against the Empire.

Now Duke Pedro is invading the Demon Kingdom by moving all the main forces of the territory.

So, the right time to attack Caceres, which was a thorn in the eye for the empire.

But the imperial army couldn’t do that.

Southern Cáceres was different from any country in Island they knew.

‘That place was already hell.’

Although the 5th Corps recaptured some southern territories.

Stopped recapturing more than that. It didn’t make any sense.

Cáceres has already been contaminated by extensive demon power. Witchbeast nests were as common as villages.

‘During the suppression of Grius’ rebellion…Just like the Mahons I saw in the Flower Palace. The Southerners have already become Knoia’s people.’

Before heading south.

High Night of the Royal Knights.

No, the knight Lyles, who was credited with suppressing the rebellion and now has the title of general, listened to the prior explanation.

And Tyrese Nyaert, the leader of the Royal Guard and now the commander-in-chief of the Imperial Army.

Lyles, along with the leader, personally interviewed Lillia, the emperor of her empire, and was given her special mission by her.

– General Lyles. You and the 5th Corps must save the Demon King Army!

Naturally, when I heard that directly from His Majesty, I was shocked.

Not only Duke Pedro’s rebels, but also the demon army are enemies of the imperial army.

So, if a war broke out between the rebel Caceres army and the demon king army. Rather, it was a good move for the empire.

– But General Lyles. Things are not like that now.

And that additional explanation was finished by Captain Tires, who was sitting with them.

The real enemy of the Empire, no, Ireland. Also talk about the coming apocalypse.

‘It’s the end of Ireland…’

Seeing the beasts already threatening the central part of the empire and even the ecliptic, he felt that this was an unusual era.

In fact, Lyles had already felt the words of the end.

Lyles was one of the contributors who directly suppressed Grius’ rebellion.

So, he witnessed firsthand the unreasonable things that royal knights and even a one-time cardinal became married to.

Above all, Captain Tires is famous for his excellent resourcefulness, as well as the military power of the Imperial Tenth Seat.

If he had already understood Lilia’s words.

To the words that you have to join hands with the demon king. There must be a reason.

‘Above all, Your Majesty is a saint.’

Lyles accepted the order.

Then he left the imperial city and led the 5th corps and traveled a long way to the southern part of the Ma kingdom.

But as both Lilia and Tyrese had already told him.

The Southern Demon Kings did not believe the words of the 5th Corps that they had come here to support them.

‘If it’s the other way around. I wouldn’t have believed the words of the demons either.’

But the situation in the South was the worst.

Even the remaining Demonic Beasts that the 5th Corps encountered on their way here were strong enemies that were difficult to deal with.

Even the southern part of the Demon Kingdom was directly trampled by the elite of the Caceres Army, the Sentiac Knights.

Everywhere I went, there was only the smell of blood and corpses.

Lastly, when he sent a messenger to Lantea, the leader of the southern demon army, he said that he was already shaking.

Perhaps, sooner or later, he thought, he would reach out to them.

‘But just because the 5th Corps and the Southern Demon King’s Army merged so belatedly… Will we be able to guarantee the future…’

The strength of the 5th corps was relatively intact.

The morale of the Southern Demon King Army seemed to be crawling to the bottom.

Well, even if you look at the miserable appearance of this battlefield. Their morale will not be intact as the villagers and soldiers die every day.

So, even though Lyles was worried about the future.

He still believed in the words of the emperor, Lilia, and continued to wait.

– The great Jedin will send a saint there who will shed a new light in this era. General Lyles just needs to wait for him until the end.

Lyles, who was sitting in the barracks at the headquarters of the 5th Corps, kept thinking about the emperor’s words.

***

‘A saint who will shine a new light.’

Although there were people who came to mind inadvertently. Hopefully that never happened.

When Lilia meets the saint, she must read it. She even handed him her personal letter with her seal on it.

The words of the saintess and emperor. Lyles wanted to believe that.

Every day, more monsters poured out from the Keiatic Gate, and apostles also appeared from that gate.

And above all, the size and phenomena of the demons reported daily from Guhwangdo. It was like proof that the predicted apocalypse was actually being carried out.

As a member of the Royal Knights who protect the empire. Lyles couldn’t help but sigh every day.

‘The good news was that the apostles in the west and north were killed.’

And the treatment of those two apostles was like a miracle that everyone in one family accomplished.

Reinhardt.

Not too long ago, the witch messenger urgently delivered the news that the great Lion Grand Duke had killed the northern apostle Graiel.

Prior to that, his successor, Count Julian, had killed Lamiar, the Apostle of the West.

Two people from that great family had done a great job for the empire.

‘Count Julian… Julian von Reinhardt.’

It was a name very familiar to Lyles.

In the White Flower Palace, where the rebellion of Grius was suppressed. It was the young Earl who directly led Lyles himself and the rest of the High Knights.

And a little while ago. When I heard the emperor say that he is a saint who will shine a new light.

Lyles immediately remembered Julian von Reinhardt.

Although he was a royal knight loyal to the emperor.

When I was with him at the White House. He instinctively wants to be loyal to him. He was very impressed with the young Count.

It was a bad idea though. For that moment, I couldn’t help it.

That Julian felt a special sense of nobility that could not be felt from any other swordsman. He was not the grandson of a great hero and the son of a great saint for nothing.

‘Perhaps the Count also contributed to the punishment of Graiel.’

However, the saint Lillia spoke of could not be Julian.

His place of residence is Essenmund in northern Ireland.

However, the 5th Legion is now in the opposite direction, southern Island. When I was so lost in thought.

He opened the barracks door and his adjutant rushed in.

“General Lyles! Someone from the Southern Demon King’s Army has come!”
“Right. It seems they’ve finally decided to borrow our strength. Is that Countess Lantea?”
“You’re right! Ha, but not only that…”
“Aside from that, did the commanders of the Southern Demon King’s army come with you? Give them a comfortable seat.”
“No, that’s not it! Not only that… Mm… Mm…”
“Mind?”
“A person claiming to be the Demon King has also appeared! Those who hold the banner of Demon King Lucifer are also together…”

I couldn’t understand what the adjutant was saying.

‘Demon King Lucifer? Suddenly, why is he?’

He was officially killed by the Great Saint Agnes herself.

And if he really was alive. In the first place, there was no way Southern Caceres could invade the Demon Kingdom like that.

Lucifer is the 1st seat of the Imperial Tenth Seat.

He was the only strongman who could fight on an equal footing with the Grand Master’s Lion Grand Duke Wilhelm.

Lyles was disappointed to hear the name of the demon king, not the saint he had been waiting for.

Still, in times of crisis, some kind of center or symbol is needed.

It wouldn’t be strange if the southern demon king’s army, whose morale had hit rock bottom, created a fake demon king. Rather, I thought it would be a good tactic if it could raise morale.

“…!!”

But after a while

Lyles, who encountered a person from the Southern Demon King Army in a barracks, was shocked.

A man who calls himself the Demon King.

Lyles already knew the man.

Julian von Reinhardt was with the commanders of the Demon Kingdom.

***

‘Whoa… I think the conversation went well.’

Two forces that have historically been enemies. The Imperial Army and the Demon King Army.

It was a historic moment when the two forces decided to join hands.

Of course, the process couldn’t have been easier. It came off surprisingly easily.

Lillia, the emperor, and I have already finished talking.

The coming apocalypse. The enemy of all mankind is not the Empire or the Demon Kingdom. It was Knoia that he drank.

– And only Julian-sama can unite the Empire and the Demon Kingdom… No, all of humanity!

Although my genealogy was a bit peculiar.

This time, I didn’t believe in myself as much as Lilia was sure.

Because the historical goal is too deep.

And even if the Demon Kingdom recognizes me.

Conversely, it was a complicated story for the imperials to admit that I was mixed with the devil’s blood.

But here, the imperial army came to the southern part of the Demon Kingdom. The commander who leads the 5th Corps understands the whole situation and readily agrees to make a new alliance.

“I never thought Lyles would have been the commander of the 5th Corps.”

Returning to Lantea’s castle, I muttered as I leaned against the chair he gave me.

Lyles. He was one of the 5 knights I borrowed from Tyrese Naiot of the Imperial Guard during the suppression of the Grius rebellion. He was a knight who served as the leader of the five knights.

Very loyal to the Empire and the Imperial Family. It was a high night like a model of the Guard Knights.

– As expected, Count Julian was a saint!

He was so surprised to see me. Even the fact that I was the new demon king didn’t raise any big doubts.

Perhaps Lilia sent him here and said otherwise.

He was very surprised to see me becoming the demon king. Even so, let alone the eyes of a traitor. He called me a saint and got down on one knee.

In any case, the agreement on the temporary alliance was carried out in a flash.

The Western Demon King’s army I led is about 5,000. 5,000 Southern Demon Lords gathered by Lantea. And Niles’s 5th corps was 3,000.

Even though the level of troops is different for each faction.

Still, a large army of 13,000 was gathered here in the south.

‘With this level, if I successfully clear out the demonic forces in the south… I’ll be able to give Duke Pedro a huge blow.’

According to Lantea, there were 10,000 troops in Caceres’ army headed for the capital of the Demon Kingdom.

It was the Demon King’s army that could not have counterattacked and almost collapsed. In this way, he successfully created a large army to deal with Caceres.

‘Is the only thing left to do is cooperate with Ustina?’

Even though I decided not to follow her and become her new demon king.

Unless she’s an idiot, she should know which side to cooperate with.

‘Duke Pedro will join forces with the eastern apostle, Euranes.’

So, the Demonic Beast Army in the East must be planning to capture the capital of the Demon Kingdom in cooperation with the Caceres Army.

As for Ustina, if you don’t join forces with us. I will be annihilated by the siege of the Demonic Beast Army.

No matter how much she was her elder dragon, it was impossible for her to directly deal with those two factions.

‘The future is really important now.’

I summoned Remegeton after a long time.

A legacy passed down from my father, Lucifer. And a trinket with the name of the demon grand duke and a demon contract.

Those demon grand dukes are sharing Unir’s divinity.

In order for me to become a true demon king. I had to make even the grand duke, who was very angry with me, be on my side.

‘I’ll have to talk to you soon.’

By using the power of Remegeton. You can summon the Demon Grand Duke’s contractor to the dream space created by Remegeton.

As long as my presence has already grown in the Demon Kingdom.

You can’t ignore me like before.

I was thinking of talking to Ustina directly there.

The reason why I came to the Demon Kingdom in the first place. It was for the sake of the alliance between the Empire and the Demon Kingdom.

And now, it will be a new pact that will claim my rightful throne. So, there was something that had to be done beforehand.

‘Stabilization of the 8th hierarchy.’

It was an injustice that was opened using a fairly coercive method called ice crystal copper.

It is necessary to stabilize her 8th mana heart shell, her wrath, so that she can not be pushed back by her even in her remegeton talks.

Red Dragon Ustina. She is a warlike old dragon that is considered the strongest in the Demon Kingdom.

I caught Siertia.

[#@$@#$@#$!@!!]

In the meantime, a lot of erti had accumulated, and the grumbling sound was loud.

I passed the words roughly in one ear. She asked her main point.

“Ask Leicester. Have all of Aquarite’s souls been purified?”

I grumbled again for a while. Fortunately, the soul’s purification was all over. Then it was time to begin the work we had planned.

After a while, Lantea, the lord of this place, came into the room of the lord’s house where I was staying.

In order to stabilize Yeokrin, he had to return to the main body of the dragon.

Yeongju Hall, you can’t do that near this castle. I asked him to look out for a quiet forest nearby.

“His Highness Julian! This is the map of the nearby mountains you requested!”
“Thank you. It was a lot of work.”

Accepting the map, I left the room.

And I called one of my lovers who was staying at Yeongjugwan together.

“Then let’s go together.”
“Yes, brother!”

Cecilia smiled at me with a kind expression.

Soon, the two of them carefully flew up from the high watchtower, not to be seen by others.
