Conquest of the Demon Realm (3)
Demonic conquest.
It was a word that I couldn't help but doubt my ears.
Isabel, who had been reflecting on Chris' remarks for a long time, said with a face that she couldn't understand.
" If I'm not misunderstood, does it mean that you opened the door to a dimension to conquer the Demon Realm?
That's right.
It was crazy.
Do you want to conquer the demon realm?
He had been working hard to prevent the war with the demon realm, but Roman Dmitry came to an unexpected conclusion.
'Does Roman Dmitry really think it's possible to conquer the Demon Realm?'
she too.
I wanted to collaborate.
For the ideal future of conquering the demon realm, he wanted to burn his will to win the war just like them.
But I couldn't.
He knew well how futile the purpose of subjugating the demon realm was, so he had no choice but to pour cold water on those who were full of will.
"That is impossible."
It was a firm answer.
At those words, looking at Chris, the eyes of the soldiers who were tidying up around were focused on Isabelle.
It was intentional.
The truth was told to everyone, including Chris, and to their commander, Roman Dmitry.
"What do you think of the conclusions I have come to from all my fuss in the demon realm? It is said that human power will never be able to withstand the demon realm. Here in the demon realm, there are a demon king who rules the demon realm and three corps commanders who serve him. The 3rd corps commander Babel, who was just defeated, is a corps commander from monsters, but monsters who have been nobles from birth stand above him. Actually, those things don't really matter. If it was Roman Dmitry, who defeated Babel overwhelmingly, it wouldn't be a problem just because he was a high-ranking corps commander. But the Demon Lord is different."
Devil.
When she first became aware of his existence, Isabelle felt a suffocating fear.
He was special.
In a chaotic time when there was no leader who governed the demon realm, the demon king subdued all the demons of the demon realm who never surrendered.
It was truly an overwhelming force.
Babel, who was only a monster at the time, trembled at the demon king's gaze, and the demons who stood out in the great chaos like him bowed their heads as they worshiped the demon king as a god.
The realm was unified.
Isabel read the monster's memory, and confirmed with her own eyes how shocking the history of that day was.
"The standard of the demon world is different from the human world. I didn't get the title of the Demon King because he was the strongest among the many living beings living in the Demon Realm, but I accepted the Demon Lord's existence because I decided that even if all of them rushed, I could not win. Conquest of the Demon Realm means that you must defeat such a being. I also believe in Roman Dmitry. If it is the force that conquered the continent in a short period of time, it will surely show the power that transcends the limits of human beings. What I want to tell you now is not the realm of trust. Knowing the power of the Demon King, do we need to fight in an environment that is favorable to our enemies?"
My heart ached.
The reality of humans saying their decisions were wrong, even though they showed the ideal they had hoped for, made me feel hopeless.
However, he could not ignore the reality.
If we truly want humanity to move in the right direction, we believe that it is right to say the right thing, even in the tragic reality.
At least.
It was not a demonic conquest.
The war here was entirely against humans.
"We have to go back to the terrestrial world. Even in the terrestrial world, assimilation with the demon realm, the enemies exert their full power, but under the blessing of the gods, they can still counter the attacks of the enemies. So choose."
turned his head
At the end was Roman Dmitry.
"If we want to reverse the choice, the only thing we can decide is now."
* * *
Saint Isabelle.
Her words had weight.
It made a lot of sense, and even Roman Dmitry didn't think she was necessarily wrong.
but.
"Isabel. We have already made a decision. And no one present in this position easily thought of the purpose of conquering the Demon Realm. The Demon King will be strong We chose to know the truth."
all the soldiers.
There was no agitation on his face.
Roman Dmitry told people the truth.
How powerful are the enemies lurking in the Demon Realm, and the possibility that not one of them may come back alive.
Still, it was clear why the soldiers made the decision.
War in enemy territory guarantees the safety of families, and if the war is won, human beings can achieve complete peace.
That was it.
Believing in Roman Dmitry, the soldiers willingly risked their lives for the future of mankind.
Rather, it was Isabelle who was embarrassed.
She thought she would be persuaded if she told the truth of the demon world, but the calm reaction of the people made her impatient.
"It's not something to think about so easily. After this moment is over, we cannot go back."
It was a voice of concern.
Isabelle always worried about the worst.
That is why he chose to go to the Demon World, and hoped that their sacrifice would not be in vain now that all the soldiers who followed him have died.
It's not just about creating divisions.
If there is any risk factor, no matter what the trend, he felt it was necessary to warn of the danger.
her heart.
not everyone knew
Although not sympathetic, people remembered her sacrifice.
Roman Dmitry said.
"I have lived a history of struggle. Barcodo, Marquis Benedict, Valhalla, and Kronos. At the time of the war with them, everyone thought it was an impossible opponent, but after making the decision, he led the war to victory without hesitation. This time is no different. People believe in my footsteps. I will ask you When I faced the 3rd Corps commander, did you believe that I would win?"
" I thought it might be dangerous. The Babel I know is powerful enough to lead an army."
"Your concerns are understandable. But I defeated Babel. Those who followed me defeated their enemies with the conviction that I would defeat Babel. Isabelle. The beings you fear are my share. I will not be defeated, all you need is faith to trust me."
asserted
There wasn't a single doubt.
Even after hearing the truth of the Demon King, Roman Dmitry showed a firm attitude that he would not be defeated.
last time asked
"I acknowledge your noble sacrifice, but there is no room for you to intervene in our decisions. So choose Will you lay down the burden of being a saint and cooperate with us, or will you step back and watch the situation?"
at that word.

Isabelle couldn't hide her trembling eyes.
* * *
It felt like being hit in the back of the head.
It was the first time.
In a situation where the fate of mankind is at stake, a situation where you say this is not your domain.
"Isabel, I believe in you."
"Sister, please tell us the answer."
"Queen, give me an order."
all people.
I just looked at Isabelle.
Because she's a saint, because she's a queen.
People didn't see her as a human Isabelle, but she found the answer to all their problems.
So Roman Dmitry's words could not help but be embarrassed. He said that there is no room for him to intervene even though the fate of mankind is at stake, and he can remain as a bystander if he wants to.
suddenly.
Leo's words came to mind.
She said that even if she lays down her burdens as a saint, humans find answers as always.
'People have found a new answer. If you follow Roman Dmitry, I believe that even the Demon King can handle it, just as he defeated Kronos and Valhalla. Leo was right. Even if it's not me, there is someone who can take my place, and Roman Dmitry is more than capable of fulfilling that role. I can't act like that. I am not strong enough to say that I will surely win in a situation where I am dealing with an unknown being like a demon king. Both physically and mentally.'
Looking back.
People had no choice but to listen to them.
Although referring to the existence of the demon realm, she did not suggest a way to deal with its existence.
Because that was the reality.
As it was an unacceptable reality for people, he turned away from it, and thought of the Demon Realm as an uncontrollable natural disaster.
Luna has become so closed.
It was a world where only those who followed Isabelle lived, and Isabel never thought that she could cover everyone.
Roman Dmitry was different.
gained people's trust.
Proving himself by defeating Kronos and Valhalla, he said that if he followed him, no problem would be a problem.
I didn't know that what people needed was that kind of confidence.
Even if it was like catching straw at the edge of a cliff, the confidence of the leader had a tremendous impact on people.
'God knew. The fact that Roman Dmitry will never be shaken by any danger.'
Oh yeah.
My mind was complicated.
When we first met, he drew a line that he would only pursue personal goals and not sacrifice for mankind.
He was an honest person.
If he was the protagonist of the oracle, he thought that some kind of determination was needed to collide with the demon realm.
Because the Demon Realm is a very intimidating enemy for those who pursue personal goals.
Until humanity was pushed into a corner, it seemed that he would never take the risk of starting a war with the demon realm himself.
It was a mistake.
Roman Dmitry was bold.
As soon as he regarded the Demon Realm as an enemy, instead of ignoring the danger, he boldly made the decision to subdue the Demon Realm.
I wanted to believe.
More than a god who doesn't always tell me the answer.
I really hoped that this existence in front of me would solve all my problems.
'Oh God. If Roman Dmitry is truly the protagonist of the oracle you have been waiting for, from now on, I will do what my heart tells me to do without thinking about the future. I will do what I think is right.'
The silence was long.
People looked at Isabelle.
She is a person who deserves it, so no matter what choice she made, people wanted to support her.
Isabelle said.
(っ )っ read at koreanmtl.online
"I'll go with you. Following Roman Dmitry, I want to defeat the demons of the underworld and restore peace."
made a decision
There were no more signs of worry on her face as she spoke firmly.
* * *
Things were sorted out.
meaning came together.
Upon Isabel's confluence, the leaders of the Continental Allied Forces gathered together for the next step.
"Isabel, please."
okay.
nodded.
As Isabel spent a long time in the Demon Realm, it was necessary to devise a strategy based on her information.
"The Demon World is a world completely different from the Earth World. The deep purple color of the world means that it has been completely polluted by the magic of darkness, and as a result, it has turned into an environment where normal animals and plants cannot grow. And that is also the reason why the Demon King wants to occupy the earthly world. The intention is to increase the lifespan of the Demon Realm by absorbing other dimensions before this world that has reached the end of its lifespan is destroyed."
Dimensional discipline.
It was a price for indiscriminately breaking it.
If Alexander had continued to exist, the earthly world would one day have reached the same end as the demon realm.
"Even I haven't been able to confirm how many demons there are in the Demon Realm. What is certain is that it is impossible to conquer the demon realm unless the demon king is defeated, and he is living in the only remaining structure in the demon realm called the demon king castle. But getting there is impossible. The moment the dimensional gate opened, the Demon King would have noticed our existence, and surely sent troops here. If there were few people, they would move while erasing their tracks with the power of divine power, but it is virtually impossible to move away from the gaze of the Demon King with this size of force."
That was bad news.
The reason Isabel was able to survive in the Demon Realm was because she moved while erasing traces.
If you can't use that method.
I had to deal with the war of consumption.
And in this world infested with numerous demons, it was virtually impossible to handle them with the number of human heads.
Even as Isabelle, there was no clear solution.
If she had been able to solve the problem, Roman Dmitry would have taken any action before deciding to conquer the Demon Realm.
I couldn't even move on my own.
No matter how strong the power of divine power is, the closer the distance to the Demon King gets, the more his actions will be exposed.
finally.
There was no way.
When everyone's eyes turned to Roman Dmitry, he listened calmly and finally opened his mouth.
"As Isabel said, there are no shortcuts to this journey to the underworld. Even if it did exist, the beings of the demon world would have a better understanding of it than us, who are not used to this world. If there is no way to erase traces even with divine power, we have no choice but to choose one method."
From the outset, the rough picture had been decided.
The simplest and most reliable way.
"All-out war. From now on, we will move to the Demon King by slaughtering every enemy we encounter."
