Chapter 216 – 48. The Book of Demons. (4)
Departure-!
At Allen Danju’s signal, the carriage started to creek. The carriage soon left the Iron Fortress, Karlstadt. The majestic fortress was heated red by the arrows of the sunrise. Watching the ecstatic spectacle, they gradually flowed into the East.
Two days later, Allen’s group entered Ruttenbeek Gorge. After four days of cutting off the monster’s head and tearing its stomach, they passed through the canyon, and finally set foot on the eastern land.
Eastern metropolis, Laplace.
The Allen-Mercenary Corps arrived there, rested, and waited for the second team. Soon, all five mercenaries enter the eastern lands, as the three mercenaries and the Grenzo-mercenary group enter one after another for several days.
They were careful and careful not to attract attention as much as possible. Just like in the Iron Fortress, here in Laflaus, the members of the Renciros Church will be keeping an eye on the Empire to make sure it doesn’t move.
… But, ironically, the Empire rarely moved before an incident happened. The barn is always repaired only after the fence has collapsed and all the livestock have run away.
Rather, this aggressive movement of the Granzo-Mercenary Corps, which seems to have nothing to do with it, is the worst move they don’t want to assume. I bet they couldn’t even imagine that a private mercenary group, not the empire, would move without thinking about their own interests…. It wasn’t even a simple mercenary group, but a whopping 10!
Of course, I was caught off guard, but even so, it was forbidden to be careless. It’s a well-known reason that the moment they doubt it, the eyes that were heading towards the empire are pouring into them.
The five Danju gathered together for a while before leaving Laplaus. Using the fragments of the devil’s books, Granzo Danju confirmed the direction from Karlstadt and Laflaus, and drew a straight line centered on those two places.
Two lines that meet at one point.
“It’s here.”
Gren Joe Danju pinched that point with his finger. That there would be a devil’s book right here.
The place where the finger was located, even if the outskirts were outskirts, was not inside the Devil’s Nest, but between cities.
“Why did you choose to settle here instead of the Devil’s Nest?”
To the question of water mage Pickbas, Allen answered.
“It’s obvious. Demonic powers require sacrifices.”
“A sacrifice, you mean?”
The devil’s book, after all, is the devil’s power. It ended up requiring a huge sacrifice.
“They will eat slowly, starting with the weaker towns on the outskirts. And soon it will devour the whole East. …… Maybe it has already started.”
Allen pointed his finger at the spot Granzo Danzu had taken earlier and arrived at a certain city while drawing a winding line.
The self-proclaimed King of Destruction, who saw that, recited the nickname of the city.
“Heart of the East, isn’t it?”
“Yes, they will definitely come here. If this place collapses, the east end is over.”
Heart of the East, the great city of Kartli.
The stronghold of Elisabeth Patronism and the castle of the Duke of Bellver.
Allen moved his gaze to Granzo Danju and said.
“I think we should go here.”
However, it took at least a month and a half to get there from here, just at the beginning of the East. … In fact, it means two months. It was because the road itself was very rough.
“Wouldn’t that take too long?”
Concerned by the water mage Pickbas, the fire-ghost Grenzo was also a little troubled.
At that time, Allen, who had been looking at the map quietly, stood up again and drew a line on the map with his finger.
“If we go like this, we will be able to reduce it by at least 15 days.”
It is a road that crosses a huge mountain range nestled in the center of the eastern part.
Seeing this, the self-proclaimed King of Destruction jumped in surprise.
“There is no place for people to go here, Danju!”
“Don’t worry. Because you can go Even if you can’t traverse it completely like this, if you make the most of the alpine zone, you won’t have to go around too much. It’s good enough.”
… In fact, even if it is, it is an arduous road where one or two ridges must be crossed in the end.
“No, roads are roads, but they are full of monsters as well!”
“I’m going to fight the devil right now, but if you’re afraid of monsters, use it.”
The three mercenary troopers were embarrassed, but the faces of the three mercenaries were wondering if this is correct, but the grenjo danju nodded happily with a smile.
“Okay, let’s try.”
When he readily accepted Allen Danzu’s proposal, the other three had no choice but to weep and agree to eat mustard. Who dares to rebel against the decision of the 10th lecture?
“The moment you leave here, it is best to avoid towns and villages as much as possible until you enter Kartli. It’s no good for them to know who we are. …… Maybe a month from now, I’ll probably have to think I’m dead and move on.”
“I’m fine…. Are you a dissatisfied person?”
Granzo Danzoo asked the three Danzoo if they had any complaints. Of course, they don’t dare to talk about it.
But as befits the leader of a huge organization, Grenzo also knew when to sweet talk.
“Don’t think too badly of it. I will never forget your hard work.”
Money is also money, but it was to put a stamp on the fire-ghost Granzo Danju. Even if it is twice as difficult as this, you have to do it unconditionally. … Maybe it’s because I don’t know if I’ll be able to get the eyes of the 10th class and get the last stone of the coalition!
“No! It’s okay! If I’m with Danju, I’ll have to jump into the fire pit!”
The self-proclaimed King of Destruction flattered him to the point that his balls jingled like bells.
Anyway. So the group of mercenaries left Laplaus and headed for the Great Mountains, called the Bloodline of the East.
After walking for three weeks, the group finally reached the Great Mountains, and entered the alpine zone in earnest. From there, the forced march began again.
……… And Allen, the money ghost, only half a day after entering the alpine zone, regretted that he had asked to come here for nothing.

“… Mummy?”
The elegant sorceress, Elizabeth Budanju, frowned at her subordinate’s report her. A phenomenon that has become more frequent in recent years. Everyone made a fuss about it, calling it a curse.
Of course, the Gongnyeo could not clearly identify the cause of this phenomenon. I can only speculate that there might be a witch doctor hiding in the city.
She could not forgive the evil warlock who dared to do such a thing in her lair. She tried her best to punish him, but in the end she couldn’t get the clue.
In fact, while scouring the city, he discovered a heresy called the Cult of Renciros, but found no correlation between them and the curse. Rather, it was a reputable church that distributed grain to citizens for free during the great famine. … Still, because of heresy, she tried to put her in prison, but her subordinates did not stop her, so in the end, she was released after only a few beatings.
Then one day.
An urgent dispatch has arrived in the large city of Kartli.
It was really unexpected news that the small city of Ankrasia, which was quite far from here, had been captured by an unknown group.
“Ankrasia? Why are you there? Wherefore?”
“That’s something I’ve never heard of…”
There is no choice but to doubt whether the Yeongji War, which has been stopped for a while, has started again. The duke also sent someone to find out about the situation, but since the distance was quite long, it was not possible to find out quickly in a day or two.
…… Time passed like that again, and by the time the heat of Kartli, which had been heated up by the news of the fall of Ankrasia, subsided again.
Elizabeth Budanju had a really unexpected guest.
“…… Now, who did you say?”
“Grenzo Danzoo and Allen Danzoo. It is urgent.”
Upon hearing the names of the two, the graceful sorcerer inelegantly pounded the table with his fist.
Those who made themselves look good!
In particular, she was very disappointed in Granjo Danju, whom she trusted. Still, to think that her evil spirit her, whom she thought was on her side her until the end, would betray her and stick to her her Arlen Danju…!
“I will not meet you. Say you’re busy.”
“That, that… , He repeatedly asked me to see it because it was so urgent….”
Then, her snotty Bell Vert Princess. The color of her eyes her turned ferocious.
“Do I have to follow everything you ask? Is that right? I am elizabeth Miss Elizabeth! I’m in the top 10 too!”
“Ah, yes, I see… ! Then, I will send it back.”
The graceful mage waved his hand as if not to bother with this further.
The servant who left soon returned and delivered their message.
“I will come back tomorrow.”
“Heh, come or not.”
Do you know who will meet you? … Do you think I’m an easy girl who meets me just because I want to? Thousands of words! This is East, East! It’s my land!
The elegant sorceress snorted at her and gracefully sipped her tea. Then, when I remembered Granzo Danju and Allen Danju, who got together during the previous round of 10 decision meeting, I got angry again.
“Damn them!”
How could you think of crawling all the way here, while treating yourself that way! Even if you don’t have shame, you can’t be here!
At first glance, it seemed that she had come to suggest that they forget everything from the past and get along well again, but this time she thought of repaying the disgrace she had inflicted on them.
No matter how much I beg to meet you, I will never meet you! By ignoring me, you’re ignoring the entire East Coast!
When Gongnyeo was thinking about what she would say tomorrow and sending them back, she was thinking of happiness.
Her men rushed to find her her in her gasp.
“The sub-lord… !”
“Why are you in such a hurry?”
“Mo, Moheiden….”
“What is moheiden?”
Midtown Moheiden.
“Capture… , I got…!”
Elizabeth’s hand holding the teacup stopped abruptly.
…… In the east, an unusual wind began to blow.
