Chapter 371 363: War Of East Unification



Day 19 of the war.

That incident at the river bank had solidified our position in front of a lot of the central parts of the East. Against our might and techniques which only caused injuries and no deaths in transportation, though a few still died in battle, the people of the East could not say anything.

Only ten more days were left in the war that I had planned out. And after collecting people from the South East and the center East, we now had to go and conquer the most populous, fairly mysterious, and tumultuous region of the East.

The north.

"That sounds so damn weird. The worst part of the East is the North."

"I fucking know right?"

"Ahem, Dusk."

I looked to my side and saw Dawn glaring at me. Currently, we were all slowly making our way ahead with the army.

And Dawn was pissed.

She was so pissed that she would scowl every time I said anything. Her reason was quite wack to be honest.

I slowly grabbed her hand and locked my fingers with hers.

"Come on already. It's just once, it won't happen again."

"Of course, you won't become a demon lord again. How can you do something so dangerous all on your own?"

The others had accepted it just as is, but seemed my dear angel Dusk had witnessed a god attempt to turn into an OverGod and fail miserably.

It was so bad that quite a few angels had to spend months cleansing up his corpse that had spilled all over the place. I heard the smell still lingered to this day.

That sucked, fairly so.

But whatever.

"Look, I managed right?"

"Tweet~" A whistle rang from behind me. "What's this? Why is Mr. Acacia holding hands with adventurer Dawn?"

Behind me, Tempo with his sword lodged on his shoulder smirked. I could tell he smirked.

The Sorcerer nodded, her robe completely hiding her figure.

"I agree. What is this?"

Dawn was about to move away but I clenched her hand tighter and grinned at the two.

"You maidenless bitches, jealous?"

The two growled at me.

"So, miss, what do you say we leave this place behind and get some coffee?"

"Oh you, as if we can do that!"

All of us turned to the back and saw the redhaired Keith picking up one of the soldiers from the group.

This bastard.

We were stuck with a tall climb and he was picking ladies up.

For the record, the other students had decided to move more to the south and complete their dungeon dives. The south that I had left was more peaceful than any place in the East now. I had also thought of revolts and the Dark Moon was doing its best to keep that end cleared.

"Say, Dusk," Spoke Tempo. "You will be paying us for marching with you to war, right?"

"Not me, Asahi will."

"Oh? I will, my lord?" Asahi turned toward me at the very mention of his name.

"We're hitting Orichalcum Rank soon so you better prepare your wallet, Lord Asahi."

"Hm hm. I don't want to make more people frogs."

Asahi smiled, not letting go of his image as the leader in front of his entire army.

"Worry not. How much do you estimate, though?"

"About three hundred gold…?"

"Oh, that's no problem at all."

"An hour."

Asahi strained a smile.

"I'll just, get back to you, after taking a rain check on that?" He immediately scuttled over to me and whispered in my ears. "Lord Eugene I—"

"I am a platinum ranked too so consider mine about hundred an hour?"

He clasped his lips shut and held in a chuckle.

"Hahahaha… Of course, the new lord of the East won't go back on his words. Right?"

He was trying to reel me in here, but I just shrugged. "I won't know."

The scouts ahead raised a few flags and so did the rest of the army as we stopped in our tracks.

A red flag.

I narrowed my eyes and prompted at the lord of the dungeon city.

"There's a cliff, sir."

The mountain path we were scaling would have curved over to a different route, but in front of us was a cliff. There was no chance of attack unless there were flying monsters. With Keith and Asahi in tow, I walked up ahead where the scouts had gathered.

Below the cliff, on the side of the other mountain before the pass was gathered a giant army, much larger than ours.

A smile spread on my face.

"Well, well, it looks they have gathered over on that side all at once," Keith mentioned, almost as if none of us had our own eyes. His voice was filled with so much amusement that it almost irked me.

Oh! I could tell intonations much easier now.

"Sir," spoke the Lord of the Dungeon City. "This is too far again. We may have a higher ground, but we have no choice other than making it through the pass. The range is too far for any of us to attack. Ahem, even with catapults this time."

I could see that.

It would be more than easy to go there myself and maul them, but that wasn't what I was doing.

"I didn't think they would all gather so quick," Asahi muttered. "They were already all pretty on toes against each other. This doesn't make sense."

"Unless," I said.

Behind me, the entire army started making its way to the cliff.

"Someone undeniably powerful banded them all together."

A giant white cloth rose from the army on the other side of the cliff, written on it with equally enormous characters.

[The Entire North Surrenders to the Asahi Faction]

A few shocked gasps rang, but only silence lingered in the air.

My eyes fell on the people at the front of the group.

"Eugy, it's Albert and those guys."

"Yeah."

A chuckle escaped me, before I broke into a full blown laughter. Nobody else moved.

I gently nudged the Lord of Asahi who took in a sharp breath, and with slight mist in his turned to his people.

"THE WAR OF THE EAST'S UNIFICATION—"

Everyone gasped.

On the nineteenth day since the beginning.

"HAS COME TO AN END!!!!"
