Chapter 533 – Evacuation

“… Was robbed by a single Holy Knight?”

Gregory, who heard Willas’ words, was dumbfounded.

It is true that there were no great expectations from the demons gathered here.

This is because I knew they were civilians who mistakenly thought they were playing a virtual reality game.

Even so.

A single Terra Cult Holy Knights can destroy so many troops.

Even if you do it, isn’t it too much?

Gregory was speechless at the incompetence of these guys, which far exceeded his expectations.
I didn’t know that I missed the grim faces of the unit members in Zephyria.

“Well, it seemed like there was a transcendent person.”

“Transcendence… Transcendent? To the Holy Knights?”

Then the story is different.

Then yes.

If humans have intelligence, it makes no sense to have so many troops consumed by a single Holy Knight.

“Ah, no. He didn’t look like a Holy Knight of Terraism. I didn’t see him wearing armor or using divine power.”

Most of Pantera’s transcendents knew that they were confronting Hellion’s avatar in the Slover Labyrinth.

It’s a bit early to say that the people there came all the way to Ramona.

‘Was there a transcendental person living in hiding in Ramona? Or is this guy named Willas making a joke to hide his stupidity?’

Gregory looked at Willas suspiciously and was lost in thought.

‘Situation room, did you hear? They say the transcendent has already appeared. Can you apply?’

Gregory knew that avatar management was monitoring what he was seeing and hearing in real time.

〔Colonel Gregory, I’m sorry. We are currently focusing all our efforts on the Slover Labyrinth, so it is difficult to provide quality support.〕

“Tsk… I have no choice.”

I knew from the beginning that it was a difficult mission that would have to be endured without much support. It was just something I did out of regret.

“How many transcendents are there?”

Gregory asked Willas.

“I saw only one thing.”

“One…”

It was rare for a transcendent to exist in the outskirts of this outskirt kingdom.

I don’t know if he’s truly transcendent.

It doesn’t seem like a full-scale Terra religion punitive force has arrived. If that were the case, there would be no way for there to be just one Holy Knights in Ramona.

One Transcendant and one Holy Knight.

At that level, he could handle it.

‘Let alone the Holy Knights, it would be a headache if that transcendental knight joins the Terra Church’s punitive force.’

“It’s annoying, but… I can’t help it.”

Gregory, who decided that it would be better to deal with them in advance, stood up from the throne.

Since there were no people to trust, I had no choice but to become a demon lord with a light ass.

Numerous carts and people filled the road. Their carts were loaded with all kinds of household items.

The line was so long that you couldn’t see the end.

It was a procession of refugees heading to Payson Estate.

Young Ji-min’s face is full of exhaustion after several days of evacuation.

“Ugh…”

As I watched the slowly moving procession, I unconsciously felt a bitter taste in my mouth.

It was because I felt frustrated by the slug-like speed.

“Chief, I can’t sense any sign of the monster.”

Karia came up to me on her horse and gave a reconnaissance report.

Although monsters are stupid, they still have at least a survival instinct.

Even if it was mainly refugees, they wouldn’t try to attack a place with this many people.

“Hilda. How many days has it been since we left Ramona?”

“I’ll sleep for 5 days.”

Hilda, who was riding her horse next to me, answered.

Even though quite some time has passed since I left the city.

We haven’t even left Ramona’s territory yet.

Saren accepted my opinion.

But I didn’t think things would go the way Saren wanted.

The act of giving up territory could not be decided and carried out arbitrarily, and the noble vassals who had been loyal to the family for a long time had to agree to some extent.

Moreover, Saren has not officially become a lord. She was merely leading the territory on behalf of her younger brother.

However, contrary to my expectations, Ramona’s vassals chose to give up their territory easier than expected.

“When Bark said he would withdraw, didn’t he think he had no chance of winning? And… It would be quite a waste for the territory to lose a great knight like Bark.”

Hilda’s strange words made sense.

But their decision was not a very good thing for me.

Although I did suggest retreating first.

That was just an excuse for me to leave.

It would have been more convenient if the retainers had stuck to their stance that they could never give up on Ramona.

Then, I would have been able to just shake things off, take care of the people I needed to take care of, and leave for Payson.

It’s not like they noticed my feelings, but… Anyway, as things progressed according to the opinion I first expressed, my position also became ambiguous.

I lost my justification for leaving the Ramona family.

In the end, I was unable to leave my position as the leader of the Mongoose Knights and ended up taking this leisurely refuge together.

Although I may be a bit thick-faced, I wasn’t so shameless as to say, ‘I’m frustrated with you guys being so slow, so I’ll run away first.’

It looked quite ugly even for the disciples.

Ramona’s evacuation continued slowly.

It is not easy to move such many people.

It took quite some time just to leave.

The fortunate thing is that the demons did not attack Ramona in the meantime.

‘At this rate, how many weeks will it take to reach a city called Payson? .’

I don’t think the demons will drag out their attack for months… And if they say they take over Ramona and chase down the refugees… I don’t think they’ll be able to get away with it.

Ramona’s knights and soldiers patrol next to the refugees to prepare for a possible attack by an unknown monster.

The Paladins were in charge of the rear of the evacuation procession.

It was to prepare for the possible pursuit of demons.

I had an eerie feeling.

I stopped talking and looked back.

“Why are you doing that?”

Hilda asks if she was surprised by my actions in suddenly stopping the conversation.

“Something is coming.”

“… Yes?”

From quite far away, someone was approaching quickly, radiating strong energy.

I felt a familiar energy.

It is intense blood magic and dark magic.

It was somehow quiet.

“Hilda, take care of sisters Karen and Velvet and go forward if you can.”

I instructed Hilda, then turned her horse and headed towards the rear of the evacuation procession.

The Paladins in the rear were already in battle formation.

The faces of Hestia and Knight Commander Azaz became stiff, and it seemed like they too felt a huge presence coming towards them.

“Do you think you know what it is?”

“High-ranking demon… No… Maybe…”

Hestia, who was answering my question with a stern face, closed her mouth when she saw a dot in the distant sky.

She was that nervous.
And the dot got closer and closer, creating a shape.

It is a human shape.

The guy didn’t hide his momentum and was coming straight towards here.

An unusual tingling sensation is conveyed.

A man with a muscular build over 2 meters tall and blue skin, truly looking like a demon, was revealed.

The demons flew quickly and stopped in the sky overlooking the Holy Knights. And he looked down at us with his arms crossed arrogantly and said.

“I am Gregory.”

“Demon King!!”

The paladins’ eyes sparkle.

“… Yes, he is the demon king that you kite hate so much.”

I thought there might be tracking.

For the demons, being human was a good experience.

I had no idea that the pursuer was the devil.

‘I didn’t know you’d come alone…’

That wasn’t very good news.

That’s how confident she was.

And the momentum I felt from him was something to be confident about.

Gregory, who was looking at us indifferently, tilts his head as if he doesn’t like something.

“I don’t know… Is it hiding? If you knock, you’ll find out.”

Gregory muttered something unintelligible and created a huge fireball in his hand.
And he playfully threw it at us.

– Stop it!!

Azaz saw this and shouted in shock.

The Holy Knights quickly created a golden shield.

But that protective shield does not reach me. In part, it was because I was distancing myself from the Holy Knights.

I created a protective force field using my own thoughts.

-Kuaang!!

Intense explosions and hot heat swirl and melt the earth.

Some refugees in the rear got caught up and disappeared.

The earth, pitted and sizzling, looks like the crater of a volcano.

Only me and the Holy Knights stood on that land.

The golden rays emitted from the Sword of Azaz are aimed at Gregory floating in the sky.

Gregory lightly waved the attack away with his hand, as if swatting away a fly.
And then his eyes turn to me, he tilts his head and asks.

“… What are you?”

I was stung.

I was wondering if they had discovered that I was a demon.

“A guy who can’t even feel magic… Survives that attack. What a strange guy.”

Fortunately, no one noticed that I was a demon. It seemed like he didn’t understand why I survived.
