498 Defeat soldiers

"Oh, that terrible thing in Olympus.

A sad exclamation came from Michael's mouth.

Michael, Uriel, and Gabriel were astonished at the news that Olympus had been attacked by Baal.

"Well, so the gods of Olympus are all gone?"

"No, that's not true. But…" The rainfall briefly conveyed the current situation in Olympus. "That's the worst."

Uriel recited with a stiff look.

With only a month left until Baal's reign, the news that most of Olympus' gods were unable to participate in the war was certainly hopeless.

"Baal must have been targeting this.

Because."

"Ha..."

Uriel shook his head incredibly.

"How strong the Baal is... Can you sweep Olympus all by yourself?"

I was well aware of how strong a person with dignity was. Michael was the only one who had the prestige.

It was certainly hard to believe that such a group of deities was driven to the brink of annihilation by one devil.

"It's strong. It's overwhelming."

Kangwoo answered briefly.

I didn't say that to add exaggeration or to create a sense of crisis.

In fact, Baal was strong.

Even the rain can't guarantee victory.

Perhaps he was already on the same level as Titan, who created the world.

Silence fell.

Even Gabriel, who had been mischievous all the time, abandoned his mischievous attitude and hardened his face when he heard that Olympus was almost destroyed.

"It's kind of weird for me to say this first, but please put on your face," continued Kang-woo with a faint smile on his mouth.

"It's an inevitable fight no matter what. It's more effective to have a little chance of winning than to be afraid."

rationally true, but practicing

It was a very difficult word to say. Imagine a dump truck running out of lane and running on itself.

How many people can calmly think that they should roll to the side in such a situation?

Nine out of ten will panic and be hit by a truck, unable to react.

And the seat of the archangel cannot be raised by those nine in ten."

They did not betray the expectations of such rainfall.

"...but..."

"Nothing will change if you panic now."

Uriel and Michael nodded seriously.

He had a fearfully plain manner.

"But you should be like this.'

Otherwise, there is no point in asking them for cooperation.

"Let's all go to the guardian's hall first. I'll tell you the detailed schedule for the defense team there."

"Yes."

Michael nodded his head.

While trying to follow the rain, Michael asked as if he had come up with something.

"Oh, by the way, why did you tell me not to bring other angels?"

"Oh, I was curious, too. Why did you ask the three of us to come?"

We also have water with our heads tilted.

It was.

Michael followed as he approached the rain.

"If you're worried about Sant'Angelo's situation, that's about the restoration..."

"No, not for that reason."

The rain shook its head.

It was none other than himself who contacted Iris and asked for help, but told him not to bring other angels.

"The defense team is going to be a long way to go. It's because I didn't think you need to bring a lot from now on."

When the rain fell, Michael tilted his head.

It's gone.

It was hard to understand common sense that forming a defense team would be much later.

"If the war is only a month away, shouldn't we be ready right away?"

"It's true that the schedule is tight, but it's more important that it's not caught than anything."

It is true that Baal's army attacks Seoul a month later.

But in order for the surprise attack to take place, of course, the rainfall does not know about the "Day of the End" until they attack.

It should be preconditioned that 'Otherwise, there is no point in a surprise attack."

Baal was temporarily blocked from looking over this side through the system, but it was not reassuring.

We need to build a defense force throughout Seoul.

There is too much scope for ambush operations.

In order to secure the most important secrecy in this operation, the defense had to be prepared thoroughly and quickly.

Naturally, the schedule had to be delayed.

"...I didn't think much."

Michael stroked his chin and nodded softly, as if he understood the intentions of the rain.

"But wouldn't we get caught if we ended up forming a defense team?"

"I've made some preparations for him."

Kang Woo said with a shrug.

In fact, I didn't think of a perfect way, contrary to what I said with confidence.

'But.

The rain lightly clenched its fist and stretched it out.

"It won't be hard to cover your eyes, little boy."

At least as far as hiding and distorting something,

I was confident that there was no one to follow him. "...that's not going to be easy."

Michael opened his eyes and looked at his head.

He nodded, "It's still a job to do." "As expected, Kwang-hwi's divine word." Hahaha. Michael smiled brightly. The rain smiled and turned away. "Then let's go to the guardian's hall. When you get to the guardian's hall, Mr. Leira will brief you on your detailed schedule."

'Huh? Go, Kangwoo?' 'I've got something else to do next, so I have to go."

A month was not enough to complete the framework and defense of Seoul, which would cover up the entire city to avoid Baal's eyes.

I didn't have time to waste just because I was glad to see you after a long time.

"Ah."

Uriel made a sad face as if he was disappointed.

"Uh..."

Iris also bit his lips and drooped his shoulders, apparently regretting that he couldn't stay for a long time with the rain that he hadn't seen in a long time.

"Hee, you're very popular, our Gwanghui God?"

Gabriel smiled and put his arm on the shoulder of the rain.

He drew his mouth close to his ears and breathed out a heavy smell of alcohol.

"Can't you tell her why she's so popular?"

"Hahaha." Come on, you crazy woman. "I'm already in possession."

You're going to die.

"Oh, yeah. That makes me burn more."

It could really burn.

"Well, come this way."

The rain loosened Gabriel's arms and turned away.

"Tut. Not funny.Gabriel kicked his tongue and fell from the rain.

Kangwoo looked back at her and smiled.

'You don't know.’

I just died and I'm back.

It was when the rain shook its head and moved its steps.

"I have a piece of information that I'd like to share with you before that."

Michael called him up. "Oh, that? It's almost over, so do I have to talk about it?"

Uriel asked with his fingers behind his head as if he had noticed what Michael was going to say.

It was quite a profound attitude.

"But in this situation, it's a little bit of a problem.

It's good to share information about anything."

"...what's the matter?"

The rain tilted its head and turned back toward Michael.

Not long ago, a group of demons was found on the Ernoir continent."

"...the demon herd, you mean?"

"Yes, the numbers... I think it was about a hundred."

"It's not a large number, but it's not a small number, so did you have any big problems?"

"Yes, he will..."

Michael went on, narrowing his eyebrows.

"They were vanquished soldiers."

"...the vanquished?"

"Yes, I don't know exactly why, but they were demons fleeing with terrible wounds to their whole bodies."

"From whom?"

"We don't know, but we're guessing there's been a power struggle between the demons.

It is."

a power struggle

As soon as I heard it, Aelle's words naturally passed through my head.

Most of Baal's reign is made up of the demons of the Old Hell.

Ayles said it was the demons of the Old Hell that certainly made up Baal's reign.

In other words, Baal swallowed up the lost earth of Guchon.

And now the demons in the Old Hell.

If it's a power struggle between...'

Past

I remembered my subordinates who served him.

Demons who fought against the Seven Great Powers and won the supremacy of Guchon Hell.

'No way.'

One possibility that I didn't want to imagine brushed my head.

Ever since I heard that Baal had attracted demons from the Old Hell, I've never thought there would be a conflict between his own army and Baal's.

I did

It was something that I had anticipated and was prepared to do.

'But.'

As Michael said, if the number of devils on the run is only a hundred,

It suggested a possibility that it did not expect.

The look of the rain hardened.

In a moment, a gentle life passed through his eyes.

'I don't think so.'

I erased the thought that came into my mind. He denied what he thought, saying, "It's nonsense."

'They must be some underdeveloped devil.'

He continued to deny it, but he had a gut feeling in his heart. I was convinced.

"By any chance... do you know any of the fleeing demons about their names or characteristics?"

asked in a low voice.

Michael nodded his head.

"Oh, yeah. I'm sure the leader of the pack..."

Stuttering his thoughts, he patted on the chin and continued. "Dumgard, a demon.

Everything."

The rain slowly closed its eyes.

The possibility of denial came to reality before my eyes.

"Doomguard."

Doomgard, the guardian of doom.

Captain of the Third Army of the Ma Wang army led by the rainfall.

It was the name of the devil in charge.

"Now... can you tell me where the remnants of the defeated soldiers are going?"

"Oh, yes. It's the southeast of the Ernoir continent, but... The trace of the defeated soldiers is almost over. If you'd like to question them, if you'd like to wait a little longer..."

"No."

He cut off Michael's horse and opened his eyes furiously.

"I'll go there myself."

"Are you Mr. Kangwoo?"

"Yes, they are more likely to be associated with the Devil of Prophecy. I'd like to hold it myself for questioning."

"Oh, then I'll attach a tracer..."

"No, no, it's okay. Just tell me the location. I'll take care of this on my own."

Rain smiled brightly, waving his hands.

The smile on his lips was somewhat awkward.
