191 gossip strongman

The march is ready.

With the title of Second Legion Commander, after receiving the news from my men, I was to respond to a call from the Demon King.

But the only corps leaders gathered were me and the newly appointed woman as corps leader.

"Looks like you're ready to march."

"" Ha. ""

Sitting on the throne, he kneels down to the demon king looking down at this one, bowing his head.

In front of this one, I even think it's different in character because it existed before the organism.

The Demon King next turned his gaze to the woman with the light purple hair next to me.

"Hannah Lowmia, Commander of the Third Army. You just assumed the position of Legion Leader, is there a problem?"

"Of course it is. We do everything in our power to meet the expectations of the Demon King."

That is the answer given by a woman named Hannah Lowmia, who was appointed head of the Third Corps as Armilla's successor.

She showed no upset even in front of the Demon King, a soldier who originally belonged to a third legion led by Armilla.

During the last battle, in the maneuver of setting up a huge illusion on the scale of dozens of people and deceiving the eyes of the human side, he has a horrible history of battle with his sword single-handedly in a state of magic depletion after being responsible for 30% of the burden of illusion and surviving almost intact.

Apparently, that deviant behavior caught the attention of the Demon King.

"Well, let's have a look at the composition of the force."

"Got it. Second Legion Leader, do you mind?"

Nodding at Hannah's words.

I can't do it either, but you should leave this place to Hannah, who's right for the explanation.

"First of all, the battle will be based on infantry and the use of demons as a force."

"How many seeds can you use for demons?"

"Feilong species Wyburn. Violent demon Glow Wolf alongside the Grand Grizzly. It is a demonic monster created by Dr. Hürluck, Baldinak and his large individual. For the rear troops --"

Hannah will explain the composition of the unit as it flows.

The demon king, who had heard it silently, nodded one and put his hand on his chin.

"As it stands, it can be considered sufficient as a force that can be prepared. If you want more power, you'll be in this shackle the other way around. Koga, Hannah, you've done well. You've been able to prepare your army so far."

To the word of the Demon King, me and Hannah bow their heads deeper.

What I did, it only increased the overall quality of soldiers and made them harder to die on the battlefield. It was Hannah and Huluk who applied the demons to be used in combat.

I did a lot of things besides that with me, but I think I worked so well.

With an inner sense of plain accomplishment, the Demon King opened his mouth to us without changing his expression.

"I know, but I can't move here"

"No, we demons seem to survive thanks to the Demon King, so don't worry."

Quietly return that to the word of the Demon King.

The land where the demons live is about to decay.

There was little nutrient left in the soil where crops were supposed to grow, and there was limited food to eat.

We demons living in such a land were in distress until only a few years ago.

But the predicament has improved somewhat since the demon king was resurrected.

"If it was meant to be, the Demons could not have fought. That's why I pledge my allegiance to you."

The demon king, resurrected from the seal, did his magic on the dying earth, and brought grace.

Thanks to this, the Demon Nation has survived to this day, but it has instead become the wedge that binds the Demon King to this occasion.

Now, as long as the Demon King is in this castle, his bounty will continue, but if he goes to battle, the land inhabited by the Demons will return to the same decaying earth as before.

... This has only been informed of the proximity of the Legion Leader and the Demon King.

Because even though it is known that grace is being brought to the earth by the grace of the Demon King, there is no way in hell that the Demon King would divulge information outside that he cannot move from the castle, etc.

"Right. What an intelligent thing. All you can do is drop off your compatriots in battle. It's an emotion I never tasted hundreds of years ago."

The look on the face of the demon king to put it that way did not change, but the voice seemed somewhere full of worry.

... Originally, the Demon Nation should seek the cooperation of other races, especially humans, but hatred. The impression that it is a man's sense of discrimination and the Demon King's Army, which exhausted the limits of its atrocities hundreds of years ago, cannot be forgiven.

It's like we've been dodging each other and hating each other now.

That's why the Demons chose the path of aggression.... No, should I say that was the only way left rather than choosing?

"... I'll prepare the prep for what if (...) here. You fight as hard as you can and you win."

"" Ha. "

Respond to the voice of the Demon King.

From me, who leads the army as the leader of the Second Regiment of the Demon King Army, there is no doubt that the Demons are on the cliff.

But it's not inferior when it comes to power.

Rather, in the abilities of demonic individuals, in the quality of soldiers, it would be fair to say that they overwhelmingly outweigh humans.

"Chi! I avoided it!"

"Get beaten up by adults!"

"Keep fainting. Wow!"

... As an exception to that guy now floating in the back of his brain, basically the Demons are winning more magically and physically than humans.

I don't mean to be alarmed, but no matter how many heads the human side has, I'm pretty sure this side will prevail if we combine forces using demons.

Besides, you don't have to worry about your power.

Somehow the strongest man in the Demon King's army, who ruled out the Demon King...

"--Are you here?"

!

The moment the demon king made it so small, the door behind him opened quietly.

Looking back, there stands a man wearing a worn robe.

Miscellaneously stretched, dull blonde hair with a barren beard, demonic horns and brown skin.

The shoulder area visible from the gap in the robe is fitted with black armor and the hips are equipped with a long sword placed on the sheath.

At first glance I didn't know who it was, but seeing that sword made me think of something.

"-- Nero Argens, First Regiment Leader. Late, I got a treat."

Nero Argens, a man on his knees in front of the Demon King.

He is a swordsman who leaves wanting the strongest name of the Demon King's Army, and a man who has been forced to take care of himself because of his pre-war injuries so far.

The demon king opened his mouth after a temporary silence on Nero, who was meditating on his eyes and quietly drooling his neck.

"It's Nero. Has the wound healed?"

"--My demon sword, its brilliance does not fade. Now that you have reached a further frontier at the end of your training, I swear to you that I will take your blade and destroy all obstacles."

Quietly, and to a powerful proclamation, the Demon King narrowly distorted the edge of his mouth.

"Then you don't need many words. You should go to your place to fight and make your petition."

"As you say."

Standing up as it were, he turns his back on the Demon King and walks the way he came after a deep thank you.

Hannah is distracted by behavior that can be disrespectful depending on the way she sees it, but from what I can tell, the exchange between the Demon King and Nero made her feel different from ours.

●

When I came here, I finally got all the first to third Legion chiefs.

First regiment leader, Nero Argens.

I, Koga Dingal, the Second Legion leader.

Third Corps Leader, Hannah Lowmia.

Though there have been some replacements and absences, now the Demon King's Army is finally on its way to a full battle.

"Mr. Korga, do you know about the wounds of First Army Commander Nero Argens?"

Having finished the convocation and exiting the hall where the Demon King is, I wanted to see Nero's old man for now and was following him through the castle... but why did Hannah, the Third Legion leader, grab him?

As for her question, anyway, she gets a subtle look at the way she calls it.

"You know, why do you keep it?"

"I'm the same Legion Leader... see, I'm older? Besides, I thought we should get along with each other in the same position."

"Oh, really...?"

Walk through the castle while being drained of poison by Hannah with a unique sense of distance.

I'm super surprised Armilla hasn't been the same until now, even though I feel like she only vomited poison against me.

"Scratches are about Nero's old man."

"Yes, we have heard that the Demon King was badly wounded and rehabilitated before he was resurrected, because it has not been revealed why he was badly wounded so far"

First regiment leader, Nero Argens.

A warrior who had been active since before the demon king was resurrected.

Is it also impossible to wonder why he would be seriously injured like that?

"Nero's old man was badly injured fighting humans before the demon king was resurrected."

"Better to deal with humans?"

"In addition, there was one elite unit led by the old man... leaving Armilla, who was his disciple, to be wiped out"

"... what did you fight?"

"He's a healing wizard. Of the kingdom of Ringle."

Hannah with a surprise look on her face when she hears that.

You must be surprised to see an unexpected person come out.

I was so surprised when Armilla told me this story that my eyes popped out.

"I don't know everything either... Nero's old man was badly injured on his right shoulder in that battle, and the healing wizard on the other side lost one eye... finally, it seems the battle is over in the form of pain sharing"

"The healing wizard..."

"A healing wizard that you would be thinking of right now. It's notorious for the Demon King's Army, Rose the Lifeguard."

Armilla may know the story then, but he doesn't try to talk any harder than that.

What happened on that occasion and what battles were fought, only Nero's old man himself and Armilla, and the Demon King, knew about it.

"Still, you don't have to cure him. The old man's a monster enough. Even I don't have any teeth."

"I don't doubt my strength. Since he was famous as a warrior of unusual strength before the resurrection of the Demon King..."

After the demon king was resurrected, I had a chance to make up with an old man who visited the castle once, but even though he wasn't the right man, he was turned into a Zutaboro.

It was quite a shock at the time that my nose was broken beautifully and I couldn't even put my teeth on top of it.

"So, what about you?"

"Is that me?"

"Last fight, you survived intact, didn't you? And with the amount of magic depleted."

When she asks, Hannah waves to the side all the time.

"No, no, actually, it's hardly a big deal. I'm a wizard who's better at supporting than fighting. When it comes to what you can do, you can only create a phantom."

"So how did you survive?"

"I went out on the battlefield with too little magic to understand, and with no magic, I just deceived the other knight and made him argue with each other from one end to the other. Well, it wasn't me fighting, so it was pretty easy."

……

Smiling revealed an awesome way to fight.

This guy is the type of guy who uses everything basic if he wants to live. It is not a battle on the front line, it is also the type of battle that is thorough in backward support and unwanted by the opponent.

... If Armilla is a hot-blooded direct swordsman, is Hannah a cold-blooded cunning illusionist?

Hannah keeps talking about me elsewhere in the war.

"Oh, but in the end I fainted for no reason... the next time I woke up, I was carried away by my side and lost,"

"Well, you were out of magic, weren't you? Then I can't help it."

"No, it's not. When I used the other knight to make them even argue with each other, suddenly, the knight I was manipulating disappeared from front of me... and the next moment, the side next to me blew up at me, surrounded by green light. I got caught up in it and passed out..."

……

Stun, green light, blowing away.

I don't know. I remember.

I knew you were a healing wizard in the kingdom of Ringle.

That doesn't make me feel like "him."
