Chapter 401

[ Episode 401. Army of monsters]

When we left Jakata and went back to the ground, the vast desert and sandy wind greeted us. It was a scene that felt like a long time ago to me, but the party covered their faces with familiar faces.



“Walking on my own feet, hehehe.”

Salem gave me a funny look and glanced back at me.

“So where is it located?”

The direction the emperor is coming from is probably the place where Nebro’s body is sealed. The memory of what I had heard from Ogwan in advance was vaguely lingering.

“Ah...”

“Did you forget something?”

“no.”

It wasn’t that, but something just came to mind. I thought that Ogwan was born before Ilias, but then I don’t know where Nebro was sealed.

‘It seems that the lineage of Nyx has been guarding Galaksur and Nebro even after the Age of the Gods ended.’

After correcting my misunderstanding, I turned my gaze to the north. Even if the five senses didn’t tell me, now I knew exactly.

The place where Nebro was sealed is also the place where I made a pact with Laplace’s devil, so I can’t forget it.

About two days from here. It wasn’t too far.

“Kong! Kung!”

We heard the cry of an animal that caught us as we tried to leave. A dog-bearer was hurriedly coming out of the entrance of Zakhar.

“What’s going on?”

When Evan stepped forward and asked, the dog-bearer lowered his head and spoke hastily.

“This is new information!”

“As expected, it is an information organization. The circulation of information is fast.”

Salem said something that I don’t know if he was laughing or really admiring it, but Soo-in spoke to me without showing anything.

“A huge army is approaching the tribes of Shaiya.”

“The army?”

is it empire?

I calmly listened to him more.

“Although they are soldiers, they say that their identities are not humans, but unknown monsters. I’m sending it to you urgently as I’m sure it has something to do with the emperor.”

At the words of the dog-bearer, the party and I fell into thought for a while.

An unidentified force heard along with the news that the emperor was coming. Besides, if it was non-human monsters, the connection was ambiguous.

“The emperor comes first.”

Maximin said to me who was worried. With revenge just around the corner, he wouldn’t mind the tribes of the desert.

But is it really a coincidence that the unidentified army appeared?

If you think about the information you’ve experienced in the game, the episodes that could happen here were all the sinful gluttony, small dungeons, and tribes in the desert.

“I doubt that army.”

“Adrias.”

Maximin quietly called my name. I could feel the impatience in it, but the more I felt it, the more I spoke calmly.

“It can’t be a coincidence.”

“.......”

“The fact that the emperor who went to find the body of the demon king and the army of monsters overlap at this time cannot be unrelated.”

“The demon king’s body?”

Oh didn’t you say

Come to think of it, I didn’t have the time to speak because I heard only the story of Nebro’s sealing from the five senses and immediately woke up from gluttony.

“That’s right. The emperor came here aiming for the body of the demon king who was said to have existed in ancient times.”

“How do you know that?”

Maximin asked questionably. Then it was Luna who answered instead of me.

“Grandma told me!”

“grandma?”

“huh!”

Everyone in the party knew about the five senses. Luna soon began to explain in more detail.

“The underground city of Jakata, where we were just staying, is said to be the city where our blood relatives lived! Yes, from the old days!”

“It’s a blood relative.......”

“And our blood relative was a clan that guarded the sword and the seal of the demon king! Grandma told me!”

“Is it a meeting?”

With Minus’ common sense, the only group that would do such a thing was the Congregation of Warlocks. However, according to information from his aides recently, he said that his power has weakened

...

“yes?”

“If it’s the undead, there’s nothing other than the black magician’s meeting.”

At Minus’ words, Danard nodded his head in agreement.

“His Highness Moh Morhaime!”

“majesty! It’s a blast!”

Messengers of life suddenly ran near Minus, who was lost in thought for a while. Seeing this, Minus felt an ominous feeling and met Daenerd’s eyes.

“I can’t stand it...”

Dannard muttered, his eyes shaking.

The messengers who came running were those in charge of different regions. The fact that such people came at the same time...

“It’s urgent, Your Highness! The news is that the Beglang estate is holding a sit-in against the army of monsters!”

“I got a call saying that a large number of unknown monsters have occurred and are fighting in the field! However, the last contact was cut off urgently!”

“The map of Mepenin...”

Minus’s expression darkened infinitely at the urgent news that came through. And he said as if he understood.

“The punitive forces didn’t just withdraw.”

“ah! If that’s the case, you too...!”

“If one’s territory is robbed, the subjugation army or whatever means nothing.”

On a larger scale than expected, Minus sighed once and spoke to Daenerd.

“From now on, it is an all-out information war. First, identify all areas where monsters have occurred and check the area near Morheim. After confirming that Morheim is safe, dispatch the troops you can spare to your allies.”

“Confirmed, Your Highness!”

Dannard started to move quickly. At the same time, the messengers also hurriedly ran to grasp other information.

“What a mess.”

Minus frowned at the sight of countless bodies piled up like mountains. It seemed like there was still a long way to go.

“Hmm?”

Isabelle, who was looking at Vivian, who was quietly breathing as if asleep, suddenly turned her head. Lucia, who was with him, asked.

“Why are you like that?”

“Something is coming.”

Isabelle slowly rose from her seat. When Lucia tried to stand up as well, she smiled calmly and shook her head.

“It’s okay, stay here.”

In a kind but irresistible atmosphere, Lucia quietly followed Isabelle’s words.

Coming out of the room, Isabelle passed the servants and family members busy inside the building and headed towards the wall.

“uh? Isabelle.”

Amy and Diene, who were discussing supplies outside the mansion, greeted Isabel. Diene, who had been living in Cromwell and helping with administrative work, asked Isabelle a question with a puzzled face.

“What did you come out for?”

“I have something to check.”

When Isabelle calmly said it as if it was nothing, Diene nodded without concern. Soon after, Amy and Diene were busy again checking the supplies, and Isabelle climbed up the wall.

“Haa.......”

It was the season when white breath danced as if it would snow at any moment. Thinking of the people in the southern desert, Isabel immediately uses blood magic

.

Things that had been hidden began to appear in her eyes.

“This time, it’s time to really pay for the meal.”

According to sudden information, the rebels who were supposed to come retreated for some reason. Cromwell was relieved thanks to this, but Isabel realized why they had retreated as she saw the scene in her field of vision.

thump thump!

it was an army

However, it was an army made up of chimeras with different body shapes, not humans.

Monsters of all different sizes and shapes were slowly but surely heading their way.

“Who did this?”

Isabelle’s fangs showed up after a long time.
