Chapter 304 – Chapter 29 – Soon
The process of surrendering the prisoners was very simple.
The tribal chiefs and strong warriors within the tribe came out, curled up their tails, and flattened their ears on the ground to convey that they had no intention of fighting anymore.
Originally, Ferdinand tried to raise them right away, but Klaus stopped him.
For the beastmen, that willingness to surrender is not simply the surrender of one force, but the will of perfect surrender that they will not reveal it recklessly.
In such a situation, if you stop that for no reason, you may think that the beastmen who have been recognized as strong at best are strange.
Recognizing each other’s rank among animals and bowing their heads was a problem that should not be overlooked, and if you were the center of the pack, you had to watch everything until the end, so there was nothing good about stopping the beastmen.
Although it is better to show mercy to kingdoms, empires, and fairies.
There is a very high probability that the benevolence will become poison to the prisoners.
On the contrary, it can be said that it is better to be strict with them to the point of being a little excessive.
For that reason, all the soldiers were fully armed and full of life to greet the prisoners.
Next to Ferdinand, Klaus, also holding a spear, rested his chin on them, looking down at them.
“In front of His Majesty the Demon King, you will have to tighten your grip even more than this. Since you received the news of your surrender, you’ll probably come all the way here. You’d better not think nonsense.”
At Ferdinand’s words, the prisoners remained silent as if they had no idea.
It is their instinct to never show their teeth once the rank is clear.
Klaus knew that for sure, so he showed no mercy at all to the beastmen.
It informs them that they are overwhelmingly superior to them, and quickly subdues them.
If you let go even a little bit because you are weak for no reason, the dog will bite the owner.
Accepting the surrender, Ferdinand stood up saying that he would now have to settle with the fairies.
Most of the adjutants followed him, and now only Klaus was left.
“…”
“…”
Still, the prisoners were not moving even with their bodies prostrate.
The surrender was made to Ferdinand here, but in reality, he was seeking it from that man.
That terrifying monster that mercilessly butchered them while laughing.
Thinking of that appearance, neither the tribal chief nor the warriors dared to even think of fighting back.
Even that man is not the highest, and there is a separate king he follows.
The Demon King, the ruler of the East, now holding the West in her hands, a woman who is on the verge of unifying the continent.
Thinking that way, the prisoners also felt that they couldn’t hold out any longer.
I never made this decision simply because I wanted to live.
Along with the desire to fight and solidify one’s rank, another desire possessed by a beastman.
It was also a desire to obey and seek safety from the ruler they recognized.
“I’ll do it on my own, but I’ll tell you just in case.”
“…”
“Good job. If you do anything against her wishes in the slightest.”
Tung-.
Hitting the ground lightly with a spear, Klaus smiled brightly.
Of course, from the point of view of the prisoners, that smile never meant anything good.
“I will tear them all apart. Without missing a single one. It’s literally going extinct. Get along well.”
Preservation of species is one of the areas that beastmen are particularly obsessed with.
Even though Caella overcame all the other temptations right away, she couldn’t overcome the desire to preserve the species that came during the heat, and she would cling to me like crazy, asking me to leave a seed inside me.
That’s why the prisoners couldn’t help but feel the fear of Klaus even more.
That man would definitely do that.
Laughing, he would kill and eliminate all the beastmen without exception.
It is to perish, the prisoner who has lived well so far becomes a clot of blood and disappears in front of that window.
Feeling strongly that they did not want to do that, they bowed their heads once more.
‘Even fairies, humans, and demons have all been unable to do this. I was immersed in the idea that beastmen never give in, so I didn’t know what kind of instinct they were following.’
Through several rounds, and because I had a good specimen named Caela by my side.
Klaus was able to notice them earlier and, at the right time, forced them to surrender by informing them of the horrors of the atrocities.
All that remains is to crush the fairies who still believe there is hope for them.
And those fairies, unfortunately, were not expected to have the same mercy as the beastmen.
Natasha and her fairies who support her will of course get her chance, but those who refuse to belong to her are like time bombs in the end, so it was best to completely eliminate her.
At the same time as the surrender of the prisoners, Ferdinand gave the order to advance again.
This time, the fairies resisted as usual, but now it was time to see the game, so the demons did not back down and continued to send troops.
The moment the fairies were preparing their magic, realizing that their enemies were going to end it completely with this opportunity.
Where their mages were, blue magic powers poured down like hailstones.
Screams rang out from all sides at the sudden development of great magic, and before they could grasp the situation, the demon soldiers who crossed the boundary maintained their formation and approached the fairies, who were now close enough to be seen with the naked eye.
“It was hard. It’s worth it to run all night and bring him.”
“Oh, yes, yes. Thank you so much for uploading…”
If it’s great magic, Klaus can also unfold it without difficulty.
However, after this war, there will be no major war, and before that, each person must make their own achievements so that they can live without shaking in the future.
So Klaus chose to run to Kayla and Cecily, who were coming this way right after destroying the beastmen warriors, and bring Cecily first.
When it comes to ‘magic’, Cecily comes to mind first than anyone else.
Klaus’s true purpose is to establish her own solid position in that way.
Because of this, he had to endure the trouble of running all night.
“…”
She is said to be the head of the Les Blancs family, so when she dresses up in her attire, most of her girlish energy from before disappears, and now she oozes the feeling of a full-fledged woman.
Even so, Cecily was still twisting her body as if she was about to die of shame.
Of course, that appearance could only be seen in front of Klaus, and it could be said that he was the new head of LeBlanc, who would show a slightly tough side to the rest.
“How much do you think the fairies’ wizards have been eliminated?”
“Because of the previous attack, at least half of them will be unable to move. Maybe it’s because this side didn’t know how to deploy great magic, so I was able to accurately pinpoint the location by gathering the mana so reliably.”
“I’m a little sorry. I wanted almost all of it, not half. You said you’ve been working hard, but you’re not late, right? I believed in him and sent him to clear up the remnants of the kingdom, but it seems like I wasted my time.”
“I-Absolutely not! That, that…”
“So you choose, Cecily. Do you want to be praised for your growth? Or do you still want to be punished for not living up to my expectations.”
Even though it was obvious what the answer would be, Klaus dared to ask the question.
At that coy tone, Cecily sighed for a moment! I groaned and carefully looked around.
Now, he is no longer the immature youngest of the Leblanc family, but the head of the family.
Even though he had the best magic skills under the reign of the Demon King, it was no exaggeration to say that even though he became a person, he still couldn’t give up his inclination.
“Because it’s true that I couldn’t… I think we should be punished rather than praised…”
“Really? Won’t you regret it? It’s okay if you just want to get some compliments.”
“No. Klaus-sama is the only one who points out my shortcomings… I’ll listen to His Majesty the Demon King for praise, and I’ll listen to Klaus-sama for criticism. So please punish me.”
It was Cecily who muttered that as his face turned red.
I will give my allegiance to the demon king, but that doesn’t mean I’m leaving Klaus behind.
Cecily was trying to repeat those words.
Even though she was touched less than Natasha and Lire, she became more of an existence than them.
Recognizing once again that if she brings out the dormant tendencies inside and awakens her, she can freeze whoever it is.
When all the fairies were finished and Yulia officially declared the unification of the continent, Klaus muttered coldly that he would add up all the shortcomings and punish them.
If it’s like this originally, if it’s like others, it’s like being scared.
Otherwise, it would be natural for him to make a slightly droopy expression.
Cecily said yes! He smiled and responded that he was very excited.
‘He probably won’t change forever in that state.’
Shaking his head, Klaus watched the advance of the eastern army under Ferdinand.
As Cecily made the fairy wizards incapable of action by more than half with a single blow, all methods to subdue the demonic soldiers with arrows in one blow disappeared.
As the demonic soldiers advanced, the fairies seemed to be still sane, and some of them interrupted their advance, while others began to retreat in an orderly fashion.
Looking at it that far, you might think that the fairies are not going to collapse easily.
Most of those who have strong self-esteem cannot admit defeat until the end and choose to die after fighting until the end, and there are many cases where they cannot accept the reality.
But that’s either because the inside is tightly packed, or it’s just that society as a whole is crazy.
One of these two can be said to be possible.
And unfortunately, for the current fairies, the seeds that Klaus planted for a long time cracked the huge and solid rock called the fairy society.
“What’s going on now, Mr. Klaus?”
“Natasha will move. The prisoners also surrendered, and they even lost their cause by defeating the humans with their own hands, so what are they doing by fighting more here? If you guys keep doing this foolish thing, I’d rather give up my kinship and surrender with the people of Belarus.”
“Will the other fairies watch it quietly? I think I’ve heard that they harm their own people for the sake of their nobility.”
“It could be if only Belarus behaved like that. But, unbeknownst to Natasha, she had stretched her hand a lot here and there. I’m sure that when the words flow out, many fairies will sympathize with them. Originally, among those who are swept away by society, there are many people whose lives are the most precious.”
“… Something seems to happen incredibly quickly and easily. The same goes for kingdoms, beasts and fairies. I really never imagined it would collapse so easily.”
Easy, easy Klaus murmured to himself.
Certainly, it may seem that way to them now.
However, all of this current situation is the result of accumulated experience due to ‘failure’ so far.
Things that seemed strangely easy to someone, were things that he had to reach at the end while boasting of extreme difficulty and despairing and suffering over and over again.
‘So, if everything right now doesn’t work out easily, I’ll die of regret.’
