Absolutely Do Not Touch Eldmia Egga Chapter 636

EP.636

The Demon King’s army’s evaluation of the empire is not very good.

Because Ethisel faces the front line directly, situations arise where they can be respected as enemies, but the Empire has always focused on minimizing damage by setting them up like a barrier.

As a result, low-ranking soldiers disparage the empire, calling it a ‘warrior’s cover.’ A group that is nothing without a hero. This is a country that would have been defeated long ago if Itisel had not confronted the demons.

The Demon King’s Army command does not necessarily sanction the actions of such soldiers. Those who think that just defeating Itisel is the end will help boost morale rather than the despairing reality of having to prepare again for an all-out war against the monster called the Empire.

However, there are bound to be some people who cannot make such hopeful observations, even though they are at the lowest level.

“I was hoping that the evil star would go crazy, but... ”

The man muttered softly and frowned, scratching his head nervously.

Then, a trace of a very closely shaved horn appeared on the side of his head above the ear and then disappeared. Compared to common demons, they were very small, but the traces that could not be completely erased showed off their presence by touching the man’s fingertips. Thanks to this, the man realized that he had habitually engaged in dangerous behavior and reflexively lowered his hand. Grinded.

No one points out his careless actions. This is because the three people in the same position were also in the same situation. We all just sigh together in unison.

Even before the evil star took full power over the empire, the Demon King’s army has been doing its best to plant agents in the empire.

Although the evil star was active in earnest and suffered a lot of damage, it somehow managed to maintain its activity and gather its strength to achieve the feat of carrying out an operation against the gate at the academy. It is true that they suffered devastating damage due to unexpected interference, but this did not devalue their achievement of breaking through the empire’s tight security.

That was the problem.

If they were treated as incompetent, they would not have received any expectations, but the headquarters demanded the next results from the few operational units that had achieved results, and as soon as they could do so, Eldmia appeared out of nowhere. Then, suddenly, the 2nd Prince Xing Xing made his move, and less than a day later, he overturned the capital under the pretext of a celebration.

If it were another kingdom, it would have been a situation where one of the royal family members would have finally gone crazy, but the other person was a malefic. The demon man, who had worked as an agent for a long time and had tasted her vicious and resourceful tactics to the point of shaking his teeth, planted ‘eyes’, keeping in mind the possibility that even this could be a trap.

And his prediction was not wrong. Even though he thought it would be disposable and discarded, he didn’t make them do anything that would easily get caught, but the eyes he planted were being trampled to death by the minute. If he hadn’t predicted it in advance, if he tried to contact them again, the tower he had worked so hard to build up until now would have been shattered.

It’s not that there are no benefits to be gained, but given the circumstances, even this seems like nothing more than a trap.

Nevertheless, Esmuët’s words that there is a possibility that they will target me with all their might are tantamount to implying that my presence has grown to the point of breaking that delicate balance.

Of course, the situation is not entirely pessimistic.

No matter how demonic they are, there is no way to instantly deploy master-level power from the demon territory to the empire without prior preparations such as a gate, so if they move that much power, they have been hiding for a long time, waiting for the right time, like the last kidnapping attempt in Esmyu. It will be a form of pulling out a trump card.

However, due to the nature of the demons, there is no way they would have put the master level in a joker pick where it is unknown when they will be selected. If you have that kind of power, it’s a devil’s way of thinking that you’d rather end up at the front line.

A force that is clearly strong but specialized in direct combat capabilities. Or, a person with the ability to kill one person rather than dealing with many. The attacker Esmuët expected was roughly the same.

‘If I were to select someone, I would have included the ability to hide at a level capable of assassination, but since there are not many talented people like that, I think it would be right to leave it out of the question for now.’

There may be no attack at all.

The later the enemy leadership managing activities in the empire makes a decision, the less likely the attack will be. Their only option is to attack a running train, which requires both the kingdom and the empire to stand by in an optimal location where they cannot rush to intervene.

There is no way to keep up with that speed, so if you leave later than the train, you will not be able to even attempt an attack. Actually, that was the type of ending I wanted the most, but things like this always go against my wishes, so I don’t have any expectations.

“Lord Ega? “The loading of by-products has just been completed and we are planning to leave soon. Are you ready?”

And it was the same for Esmueh, who did not make such hopeful observations.

Since he was sitting on one side of a place that was very realistically set up like a train platform and was wasting time with his eyes closed, he could have been suggesting to move more directly, but the owner of the voice euphemistically asking for a doctor was wearing a pure white fur coat and looking undisturbed. He just looks at me with his posture and smiles.

“of course. It’s not a very long journey, but please take care of it.”

“Please take care of us.”

At first glance, she was so handsome that one could mistake her for a woman. Contrary to her soft appearance, she was a talented person of the empire who was in charge of the escort captain of the train to the kingdom.

Esmueh says that it specializes in combat assistance, so even if a problem arises, it will be of great help... I couldn’t feel any mana or aura, so I couldn’t figure out what level of skill he had. Still, not only did Esmuye guarantee it, but the attitude of those around him towards him was clear, so at least it wouldn’t be a hindrance.

I stood in the middle of the empty platform where there were no benches to sit on and rested on, stretched briefly, and then followed him to board the train, which was said to be an ‘amazing’ invention of the dwarves.

It was a bit unfortunate for the people of the empire and the dwarves, but it wasn’t particularly surprising.
