Chapter 1101

Episode 1101. Are you sure you can win?

Hirhera Escatos Kingdom Army Garrison.

General Marquis Bernardo’s barracks.

around dusk.

Three men sat across from each other at a round table.

They are the Duke of Escatos, the Marquis of the Kingdom of Escatos, Marquis Bernardo the General, and Viscount Elio Lagoa, vice-captain of the Marquis Family’s Phoenix Knights.

Duke Escatos, who hesitated for a while, opened his mouth with difficulty.

“I think we should put an end to the negotiations with the demons. I tried talking to the great nobles of the north, but the resistance was so severe that they said they would rather die than compromise with the demons.”

Then Marquis Bernardo secretly examined the complexion of Viscount Elio Lagoa.

The horse was going to die, but that meant war.

And the great nobles hoped that Viscount Elio Lagoa would lead the war against the demons.

Elio asked with a grave face.

“Are you going to war with the demons?”

“exactly.”

“Are you sure you can win? The duke must know it well, having fought against the demons in Hirhera.”

“The great northern nobles still don’t realize how strong the demons are. All they saw was the monsters that came and went around the rift.”

“They will all die.”

“Currently, the Northern Eight Kingdoms and one division of the Empire are stationed in Hirhera. Do you still think there is no chance of winning?”

“I told you that the dark ether is much stronger than last time. It means that we are not the only ones who have reinforced our strength.”

“Hmm...”

A quiet voice flowed from Duke Escatos’ mouth.

To be honest, the northern kingdoms had never gathered as many as they do now. Even when warring with the Empire, all three kingdoms were united.

But is that great power going to die?

To be honest, I couldn’t believe what Viscount Elio Lagoa said.

When the conversation was cut off, Marquis Bernardo sneaked in.

“I don’t have anything to say to Lord Lagoa, who rejected the negotiation proposal... But I believe that Lord Lagoa will defeat the demons again this time.”

Elio didn’t answer.

The fight between the demons and the northern kingdom has just begun.

As long as there is a hole in the ice wall, demons will continue to invade.

It may last for ten or a hundred years.

Whenever that happened, I couldn’t stay in Hirhera and fight the demons.

To put it bluntly, he did not come to this world to protect the north.

It is his mission to prevent the other world from falling into chaos due to the Demon of Heaven and the Golden Thread.

That was more important than participating in the war against the demons.

“I plan to leave for the imperial capital soon.”

“...”

The Duke and Marquis were speechless at the shocking words of Viscount Elio Lagoa.

Viscount Elio Lagoa was their only hope after fighting Moloch’s Legion.

It was the same for the sword master, Duke Escatos.

“Sir Lagoa Hirhera absolutely needs a lord. You are the hope of the North as well as Hirhera. Please don’t say that, even as a joke.”

The duke swallowed the words ‘I can’t allow it’ that rose to his throat.

For Viscount Elio Lagoa, such an expression was disrespectful even in his own mind.

“I am not kidding. That’s why I talked about negotiating with the demons.”

“...”

As the Duke of Escatos was absent-mindedly, Marquis Bernardo stepped forward.

“If soon, when exactly do you mean?”

“I plan to leave as soon as this demonic invasion is over.”

The Marquis, who had been nervous for a moment, let out a sigh of relief.

It seemed relieved to leave after stopping the invasion of the demons.

“Couldn’t it be to move to the islands?”

“It can’t be. I’m going to catch the black magician behind it.”

Duke Escatos, who came to his senses belatedly, said.

“Are you trying to find the Celestial Star?”

“yes.”

“ah! So the system...”

Duke Escatos shook his head.

The only people who know about Celestiality are the wizards of the Mage Tower. So, in order to catch the mastermind, he had to go to the island where the mage tower was located.

“Does anyone know about the island? If not, I can introduce you to an acquaintance.”

“I’m thinking of asking for help from the Duke of Magus Killian Hale or Baron Ashley Nelson of the Corvo Magic Corps.”

Elio looked at Fabian with new eyes.

I thought he was a heavenly flirt, but it’s surprising that he settled down with a woman so early.

My heartache is already wrong and I wish Fabian well.

Next day.

The atmosphere in the Hirhera Garrison had calmed down since the morning.

It was because the dark ether was approaching the ice wall.

The first surveillance unit to enter Tamion retreated inside the ice wall.

The technicians and workers who were building the barrier also fell into the rear.

The allied forces of the Northern Kingdoms were heavily armed and on standby all day long.

around noon.

Finally, the dark ether began to creep over the ice wall.

“Kyao!”

“Kleurrureung!”

As before, the monsters were the first to cross the rift.

A herd of white wolves and a giant smilodon rushed through Hirhera.

After that, the Ice Ogres let out a roar like a moose.

“Kheheheung!”

“Kheung!”

Giant beasts such as the Giant Bear and Yeti followed with their massive bodies, followed by the White Wolf and the giant Smilodon.

Countless number of monsters hit Hirhera like a wave.

It seemed well five times as many as Moloch’s legion not so long ago.

The surveillance unit in front of the rift was swept away by the beast without a proper resistance.

I couldn’t even hear the screams of humans overshadowed by the noises made by the Witchbeast.

Northern Kingdoms Allied Command Headquarters.

Duke Ulrik Lundgren of the Kingdom of Tallinn, who was staring ahead, spoke in a determined tone.

“Even though the forces of the demons are strong... let’s fight with the determination to die!”

As the rift guards were annihilated, he drew his longsword.

He tried to run away immediately, but Duke Escatos stopped him.

“The Demon Beasts, Duke of Lundgren, are just the vanguard. Be patient until the second wave of monsters starts.”

Only then did Ulrik Lundgren calm his boiling anger.

In the meantime, the monsters that had pushed up to the Hirhera garrison jumped into the Northern Kingdom’s allied camp.

The allied forces of the Northern Kingdom fought against the monsters by relying on the stone walls erected here and there.

When the wooden fence in the past did not function properly, it was replaced with a stone wall.

Unlike the wooden fence that was shattered by the beasts’ blows, the stone walls were not easily broken.

However, the number of Demonic Beasts was overwhelmingly greater than that of humans.

The combined forces of the Northern Kingdoms pushed back little by little as Masu pushed in like a tidal wave.

The Northern Kingdom’s Allied Command had no choice but to put in a large number of Sword Experts to preserve their forces.

It seemed that the battle lines that had collapsed due to the activities of the sword experts of the Armed Kingdom were gradually restored.

But that didn’t last long either.

Following the demons, the demons rushed in like water.

Cerberus, Kovalos, Ghoul, Groove, Hydra, Behemoth, as well as undead monsters that had not appeared before appeared.

It was as if Hirhera had been transported to the center of Tameyon.

The number of sword experts was large, but they were buried in various monsters and were invisible.

A sword expert is not a superhuman.

I was able to keep the upper hand up to the monsters, but the monsters were too much.

As the Sword Experts, whose physical strength was depleted, died, the formation of the allied forces of the Northern Kingdom was also disorganized beyond recognition.

At one point, the Northern Kingdom’s combined forces began to crumble.

Right before the allied forces of the Northern Kingdom were swept away by the demons, the sword masters who had been grinding their teeth from behind rushed to the battlefield.

The speculation of thirteen Sword Masters of the Arm Kingdom covered Hirhera.

The waves of pure mana emitted by the sword masters stopped the ether of darkness that had been rushing like a raging wave.

The thirteen sword masters brandished their swords mercilessly.

The monster’s limbs were torn off by the mana blades wielded by the sword masters, and the beast’s body was crushed.

Encouraged by their propaganda, the soldiers shouted ‘Waaaa!’ shouted out

The morale of the allied forces of the Northern Kingdom soared to the sky.

Duke Ulrik Lundgren, Marshal of the Kingdom of Tallinn, who was flying at the head of the Sword Master, glanced at the camp of the Kingdom of Escatos.

‘Viscount Elio Lagoa! Do you think I bowed my head to you because I was powerless? You’re welcome. I came to Hirhera to kill demons!’

Prince Ulrik Lundgren, who leaped vigorously into the air, hesitated.

Demons were rushing into the rear of the demons.
