The entire continent was greatly shaken by the formation of the Allied Forces, declared again for the first time in 300 years. It was a story that was nothing short of a general mobilization against all races that can be classified as humans.

This was something that had only happened once in the entire history of the continent, where dozens of books were so thick that each one could block a crossbow arrow.

The descent of the devil.

A being who brought dragons to the ground with a single wave of his hand and commanded an army of tens of millions of monsters, antagonizing the entire world.

Birth, old age, illness and death, rise and fall.

Just as a person is born, grows old, gets sick, and dies, just as a nation is established, then rises, declines, and then falls.

A disaster that embodies the concept of inevitable destruction.

As it was, this world should have ended then.

The Demon King, who arrived as a result of natural law, could not even be interfered with by the gods, and the two powers of and created an army that even transcendental people could not oppose.

When the incarnation of destruction is advancing in earnest along with the Demon King’s army that has dyed even the horizon black

— are you the Demon King or something?

A person who stands at the peak of irrationality has appeared.

The man who blocked the infinite army while holding a holy sword shimmering in golden light was extremely arrogant.

I feel no fear or despair.

So much so that the Demon King, who had been enjoying the negative emotions of mortals like a gourmet, was naturally displeased. He didn’t know. Another name for that discomfort that feels like it is roughly grabbing my insides and shaking them with all my might is fear.

So he gave orders to the troops who worshiped him.

Tear it to death.

Cut that arrogant bastard to pieces and bring him before me.

The Demon King’s army immediately rushed in like a tide to carry out the order

– and it seems they have come to the right place.

It was cut in two with one sword.

The sword was swung sideways, and the monsters caught in its path all fell apart, scattering blood and internal organs.

That day, the Demon King’s army lost 30% of its total strength and went on a rampage.

—Ah, you idiot. As soon as you see my shadow, you jump out?

It was a moment of hope for humanity, but Roderick recalled that it was a mistake not to kill him on their first encounter.

When the Demon King faced him, he became aware of his own fear.

He never tried to fight Rodrik after that.

He only commanded and strengthened the Demon King’s army from behind and stopped exterminating humanity on the front lines. Thanks to this, the damage to humanity was much reduced compared to before, but for Roderick, it became difficult to catch and kill the Demon King.

So he thought.

—I guess I should gather some little guys too.

In addition to Hakapel, who became the focal point of the Cassim Beast Race, which became the origin of the Titans, there were quite a few useful ones.

Those who were drawn to Roderick’s power and charisma soon forgot the walls of their races and formed an army, shaking off their fear of the Demon King and starting a full-scale war against the Demon King’s army.

This is the history of the Allied Forces that were formed 300 years ago.

“…We are being reconvened after 300 years.”

Leon, who heard the whole story, said with a shocked face.

It is impossible to believe that the Allied Forces, which can be said to be the pride of human history, were a group formed to assist Roderick in his hunt for the demon lord.

If historians heard it, there was no sound of alarm.

If Roderick had killed the Demon King in their first meeting, wouldn’t that mean that the Allied Forces would have never been formed?

Kassim did not deny that.

“In the end, the Demon King’s Army was a group of monsters whose power was enormous and did not even have a minimal system in place. “If it weren’t for the Demon King, they would have fought and fought among themselves, or they would have been scattered and all would have been defeated individually.”

The strength of an army is demonstrated not by the strength of its individual members, but by the way the army moves organically as if it were one body.

Differentiating types of troops, organizing battle lines, and establishing camps were all such tasks. A strategy that only intelligent beings can use that monsters that only chase the scent of blood can never imitate.

To overcome it with simple force, you need at least the irrational ability of a grandmaster level.

“The situation won’t be much different this time either. No, it’s probably a better situation than then. Unlike Sentai, which was able to turn the entire corps into fanatics, the evil dragon only uses ‘Dragon Fear’ to suppress its monster instincts.”

“Are you saying I can’t use my power?”

“I see. “If you point a knife at them from behind, they’ll run forward, but if you point a knife at them in front too, they’ll be confused.”

As Kasim said that, he pointed with his finger to a certain part of the continental map that Leon had drawn up in advance.

The mark of Vritra.

The man who took control of the Titan Mountains, which became Muju Communist Mountain after the Titans descended, acted as they expected. By subduing high-risk monsters as their own peers and invading nearby countries, humanity’s sphere of influence is gradually reduced.

Although only a few days had passed since the declaration at Area 1 Square, the scale of damage was increasing tremendously.

“Even though the Holy Church warned so…”

“There are many people, especially those in power, who are not afraid of fire until their toes are burned.”

Irexana smiled bitterly at Kasim’s harsh words.

In reality, it was just as he said.

Upon hearing that Vritra was moving toward the Titan Mountains, the church immediately sent out an urgent alert to all countries adjacent to the mountain range. A large-scale monster wave will begin soon. Deploy defensive forces faithfully and be prepared to invade the border if the situation arises.

However, no one heeded the Holy Church’s warning, and more than a dozen territories around the Titan Mountains were devastated in a matter of days.

“300 years is a very long time for humans. The invasion of the Demon King’s army is nothing more than a tale from a long time ago for them. “You probably didn’t know that the story would become reality.”

“Ignorance is not a sin, but not trying to know is a sin. “Once everything is resolved, those who ignored the sacrifices of the ignorant will also have to take responsibility.”

“…It’s just as you said.”

Finally, Irexana had nothing to say and let out a long sigh. It wasn’t for no reason that the elves hated humans and distanced themselves from each other.

Incompetent and greedy people take over the system and drive competent and good people to meaningless deaths.

‘I didn’t even know that I had withdrawn the grace that the goddess had once given me.’

Even the cardinals of the Holy Order, who prioritize mercy and tolerance, were sometimes skeptical of its ugliness, so the elves, who are famous for their even more stubborn mentality, would not have been able to endure it.

It was then.

Ellahan, who was quietly listening to the two people’s story, said.

“The Second Cardinal sent a message.”

“hmm.”

“Cardinal William?”

The Elven Forest was a long way from Jugend, but space limitations did not mean much to a saint who could convey the goddess’s words in real time.

When William prays and remembers the message, the goddess listens to it and teaches it to Ellahan.

Everyone in the room focused their attention on her.

“The elf tribe’s dispatch itself has passed, but they say it will take more time to join the allied forces.”

“Is it because you lack trust?”

“That part is not missing, but… they say they will give priority to dealing with the monsters that have washed up near the forest. “We need about 15 days to reduce the number and reorganize the barrier.”

Although the elves had a long lifespan, their population did not increase quickly, so it was essential to protect those who lacked combat skills.

Even during the Great War 300 years ago, villages where non-combatants resided were thoroughly protected, and only after receiving Rodrik’s promise to protect them did they come to the front lines.

Kasim knew that well, so he couldn’t urge it any further.

“I can’t help it. “It was like that 300 years ago, so I can only hope that we don’t arrive late this time.”

“Still, the reinforcements from the steppes and deserts seemed to have started in a timely manner. “According to the letter sent by Al Razaz, the head of the Bedouin, we will cross the border of Jugend within a week.”

“Even monster waves can’t move in the desert, so they can focus on attack rather than defense.”

Basically, the number of monsters that could adapt to the desert ecosystem was around 1% of the total.

This means that even if you are pushed into the ‘Dragon Fear’, there are only a few people who can reach the area where the Bedouin village exists alive.

Additionally, due to the non-aggression agreement with the Beastmen tribe, there were no major problems even if the warriors were absent, so large-scale reinforcements were able to be dispatched.

I heard that Al Razaz also rushed out without hesitation.

‘No, maybe he was just bored.’

As befits his nickname ‘Tyrant’, he is a man who does not go against his impulses.

It was a shame because he carried his family on his two shoulders, otherwise he would have wandered around the continent and lived as he pleased.

In broad terms, he was of a similar race to Cedric.

“Unfortunately, it looks like Varg won’t be able to come out from the beast people’s side. Unlike the desert, it is not free from monster invasions, so it looks like it is planning to remain in the grassland and lead the defense forces.”

“Well, we won’t be able to completely evacuate the base.”

As Leon answered, he remembered the name of Hati, one of Barg’s two children, who was on the list of soldiers dispatched by the Beastmen.

She couldn’t see her face after defeating Nephren-Ka.

‘What on earth happened?’

As Leon was thinking, a clicking sound came from inside his head.

[Oh, you stupid student.]

‘Why all of a sudden?!’

He was moved to tears by El Cid’s verbal abuse and asked back, but all he got in return was a snicker.

Leon, unable to find an answer, immediately looked at the map of the continent.

The mark of Vritra that does not move on the Titan Mountains.

The damage from the monster wave, which is expanding its scope in real time, makes me impatient with the reality of staying in this conference room. Cassim, who read what was going on, naturally spoke.

“Monster Wave, which can be said to be the main force of Vritra, will come down to Jugend.”

“yes?”

“The priest and I are the only ones truly hostile to him. “If we can kill just the two of us, the rest are just spares that can be wiped out sequentially.”

Kassim’s words were cold, but extremely realistic.

“The hero’s power and holy sword are the devil’s only natural enemies. “If you can cut it down, you cannot avoid extinction, even if it is .”

Cassim, who knocked on Vritra’s mark a few times, laughed at him.

“But he is a coward. “As long as the priest and I are alive, there is a good chance that he will never reveal himself while we are together in one place.”

《Even if 300 years have passed, the people who are referred to as devil lords are the same. Shouldn’t the name be changed to King of Terror?》

“…I think a case like you is an exception. Well, the results won’t be much different.”

Cassim lightly ignored El Cid’s words and continued speaking.

“The defense system installed in each area of Jugend is clearly the best on the continent, but if a wave that includes monsters from the Titan Mountains comes, it will not be able to hold out for long. “It will inevitably drain the strength of both of us.”

That’s probably what Vritra aims for as well.

A warrior cannot ignore the people dying before his eyes, and no matter how powerful Cassim is, he cannot remain as healthy as before while dealing with tens of millions of monsters.

Before the allied forces can fully gather their strength, they aim to worsen the condition of the two people and separate them to attack each faction individually.

It was truly an obvious yet extremely effective tactic.

“But the death penalty.”

Leon questioned the evil plan without fear.

“If Vritra didn’t step forward, she wouldn’t be able to do that much to us.”

After experiencing the realm of a grandmaster, I was able to understand it again.

Only the transcendent can overthrow the transcendent.

Although exceptions are occasionally born throughout the long history, it was not an honor that monsters without even intelligence could enjoy. seaʀᴄh thё NôvelFire(.)net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

Kasim also nodded, as if agreeing with that confidence.

“What the priest said is correct. “If it were just monsters flocking in droves, there would be no way for us to get hurt or have a chance.”

Maybe they are SS-class or higher monsters that rarely appear even in . Even the Monster Wave of the Titan Mountains was only lukewarm against them.

Nevertheless, Kassim did not retract what he had said earlier.

That means exactly.

“Vritra will definitely use the power of the Demon King to create minions. “They will imitate the Four Heavenly Kings and other things that appeared 300 years ago and create something that could pose a threat to us.”

One of the powers representing the Demon King, , was the power that made dragons as strong as Albion run wild. Although it has little effect on races that are closer to chaos, such as humans, it is a more lethal poison than anything else against races that are closer to nature.

Even if it is not used against dragons, it will exert its malignancy greatly if used against elves and dwarves.

However, in addition to the power to reverse its existence, had an additional ability. It is a kind of semi-permanent strengthening ability that makes the power stronger the further it goes from natural law.

“According to what Irexana heard, the priest met the descendants of those who served in the Demon King’s army in the past in Rubena.”

“…Oh, you mean vampires?”

“I don’t have any good memories of them. “Every time we encountered each other on the battlefield, they caused great damage to our allies, and those who accepted the reinforcements of ‘Corruption’ were quite a threat to me.”

And Kassim growled.

“Among them, Vlad, the vampire who occupied a place among the Four Heavenly Kings. When I think of him, my head still trembles.”
