Chapter 703

Chapter 703

Kings of each country gather in Levien.

The news of the meeting, which had been spreading with content that was very slightly different from the truth, and had focused the attention of the continent, was naturally delivered to the Demon King’s Army.

There were few who wondered why they were holding a meeting in Levien, even though it was the safest capital of Itisel. All the circumstances, such as the full-scale emergence of the front lines in each country, the establishment of a separate force, and the declaration of war against the Demon King, were telling of their intentions.

Of course, that doesn’t mean everyone knows everything.

“Is it to let the humans know that war is superior?”

Of course, there were people I didn’t know. The bearded demon who had been lying peacefully on the grass and just now raised his head was exactly that type.

“···I disagree·”

The problem is that he is a person who cannot help but be unaware of this situation. The special forces agent, who had experienced this several times during his brief period of assisting him, still had difficulty holding back his sighs, explained while hiding his feelings as much as possible.

“There are many cases where the inland tribes take us for granted. This is a proclamation to the demon tribes.”

“···Why is it interpreted that way?

“Imagine retaking a city that you couldn’t take for years, and then having a meeting there with people who would be in big trouble if they died soon after. Would you dare do something so audacious in a place that could be taken away at any moment?”

“aha·”

The use of force to ensure that Levien would never be taken away again and that they were under complete control so that no one could dare plot an assassination. If the Masinism had been uprooted from Epagasierra in Lengi as planned, it would have been for the good of the human race as the man said, but now it was a different story.

“Come to think of it, I said there have been a lot of opposition groups recently, right? Since one of the razor blades is broken, you can’t even shave your beard as you please, and the blackout janitor must be having a hard time.”

The words, “Why are you talking about someone else’s business?” rose to the tip of my tongue, but I couldn’t say them out loud. It was really just someone else’s business to him.

The Master-class force, classified as someone who was keeping his position based on a contract rather than loyalty, yawned and sat up in the silence of the Special Operations Department agents. If you only look at his actions, it was the movements of a common citizen who woke up from a nap, but because there was a battlefield with the scent of blood right in front of him, he felt like something was off.

“But it’s not all bad news. Eldmia, you said? That warrior is there too. I heard that the bone thing is still in Levien. If we do it right, it’s a chance to handle two things at once.”

Even the words that came out of his mouth were enough to amplify his suspicion that he had lost his taste. Thanks to this, the special forces agent, who had been holding back his facial muscles from escaping from the control of patience with his thorough professionalism, drew his attention with a short cough and asked a question.

“Are you saying that it’s good news that he’s in a place where it’s obviously prepared to be so terrible that it can’t be touched?”

“Hahaha, that’s funny. It was just something I hastily prepared. There’s no way it wouldn’t be flawed.”

“Is that so? I’m not sure, but...”

In the first place, the special forces agent was in charge of operations, not the field. If you bring just one human knight from the front line, he will die miserably. How can you sympathize with someone who has never felt it and has no idea what he is feeling? If that was possible, he would have been a master.

However, since they had spent some time together, Noi knew that the Special Forces agent was completely useless when it came to combat, so the topic of conversation quickly changed.

“If you think about it, if you could kill all the key figures, wouldn’t it be an opportunity to handle six or seven things at the same time? Wouldn’t that be good for you and me? Maybe we could wipe them all out like pouring water into an anthill?”

“Well... if that’s possible, that would be the best. Other people would have been skeptical, but when you say it like that, Noi-nim, it sounds a little different.”

“Hahaha! Really?”

Although it was obvious flattery, Noi smiled cheerfully and patted the special agent on the shoulder, and the agent was greatly relieved that the information he had memorized about Noi Tanissa was not wrong.

People with excessive narcissism and histrionic personality disorder

Noi is a character who betrayed the Demon King not because he was commissioned to kill the Demon King, but because ‘mere’ vassals commissioned the assassination of the current Demon King in order to avenge the dead Demon King. It is said that the reason for training disciples is to avoid directly receiving low-level commissions. It may not be entirely wrong, considering that the name of the assassination group was Tanissa’s Hounds.

It wasn’t a bad sign anyway. As soon as I found out that the man was Noy, many of the questions I had before were resolved.

The report says that even the seemingly easygoing attitude and reactions and the shabby decorations are consistent with the desire to show off that they are recognized for their own worth without being obsessed with such things. Rather, I felt ashamed of myself for not noticing it until now.

But that’s okay. Knowing his tendencies also meant that it was easier to continue the mission.

“Then... how do you plan to move? Will you be accompanied by your subordinates?”

“Not only the key personnel, but also many troops have gathered, right? It’s a shame, but I think it’s right to take some of them with you.”

The special forces agent, who was about to distort his expression as he saw Noi leave the place with a smile while speaking in a tone that seemed certain of his subordinates’ deaths, followed him.

Regardless of likes and dislikes, there was only one thing he had to do: assist the assassin Noi and help him with his mission.

It was time to contact his superiors to find a way to help him, since he had said he was heading to Levien.
