“Kruk, they seem to be just talking.”

Kuhora, who had transformed into the Demon Behemoth, spat out after defeating the fools who had attempted to rebel.

“They were clearly all dying… .”

“K-uhk… .”

“Damn it, Mr. Bbeutukal… !”

The one-eyed general Muthukal and his remnants, the ringleaders of the rebellion, rolling around on the floor in rags and making a fuss.

As Kuhora had suspected, Muthukal had been given a separate mission by the 43rd Brigade Commander. However, it was to report on Kuhora’s movements, not to start a rebellion.

“Everyone, don’t be agitated.”

“But…!”

Sadal, who was finally blinded by greed, thought that if he defeated Kuhora, he would be able to obtain the position of brigade commander or a similar position.

There was also a plan to steal credit if the operation was successful.

Due to the boring nature of the infiltration mission and the cautious orders, Mtukal, who was excited, decided that now, when Kuhora had been defeated by the enemy, was the right time.

in result.

“What happened to the logic of power that you guys always talked about?”

Muthukal was defeated by Kuhora, whom he had been ignoring.

“Hah-! How cowardly! You became stronger because of the pill that Critic gave you…!”

“I think it’s the same for you too? You’re talking a lot even though you lost.”

Even though it was rare, Kuhora knew that killing one’s superior was an act of power logic. It was an easy way to get promoted, especially when it was not wartime.

So, the berserk pill is Kuhora’s last resort.

However, it was a special specification exclusive to Kuhora that allowed him to transform into the Demon Behemoth.

“And cowards? You guys who joined forces and attacked a brigade commander who was tired from fighting the enemy?”

I knew that Kuhora, who was from the 43rd Brigade, looked down on the 44th Brigade, but I didn’t know it would be to this extent.

I didn’t know it would be this big.

Even though Sam Sam-geum is old, he is not stupid.

When the 43rd Brigade Commander Kuhora assigned the Mt. Tutukal to the 44th Brigade, he thought it was for the purpose of deterrence.

He appointed a demon with a different disposition than himself as his subordinate commander.

But this was so ignorant that it seemed like he had simply left it to someone else to deal with.

“Wow, if we had become monsters too, things would have been different! And if we were going to use it, we should have used it on the enemy, not now…!”

“You’re not helping me, but you’re trying to rebel, and you’re so shameless. And this body isn’t a monster, it’s a demon. If you can’t even tell the difference, what’s the general doing?”

Kuhora clicks his tongue at the excuses that become more and more pathetic the more he deals with them.

“Hah! Yeah, I admit it. Brigade Commander Sasa. You’re stronger than I thought. We lost. ”

Muthukal, who barely managed to raise his upper body, had a light attitude despite having failed in his rebellion.

Did he lose his mind after being beaten by someone he used to look down on?

Despite their arrogant exchange of questions, they did not appear to be on the verge of death.

“Kreuk, Captain of the Mt. Tutukal Regiment. Do you think I’ll spare your life?”

“Save me? The logic of power is over! We lost! There is no need to waste our energy fighting each other anymore!”

“Ha! I’m so dumbfounded I’m speechless.”

He was the one who caused it, and yet he was talking so well. Kuhora thought that no matter how stupid you are, there is a limit, and he found himself laughing at himself for explaining things up until now.

“Yeah, Mt. Tukkal. Is that the end of the will?”

So, let me be direct and clear so that even a fool can understand.

“A will…? I am the direct subordinate of Brigade Commander Sasam! If you kill me, Brigade Commander Sasam will not stay still!”

“I guess you don’t understand, but you have committed treason. You can execute me right away and I won’t have anything to say. Rather, I should be the one to ask the old man Sasam. You are in no position to open your mouth!!”

The 43rd Brigade Commander’s foolish tricks resulted in the deaths or serious injuries of his beloved subordinates.

Even when you are betrayed while fighting the enemy.

If I had received proper help, I wouldn’t have been able to capture the priestess, but I wouldn’t have been treated so foolishly.

“Okay, wait! I, I’ll explain it to Mr. Mullet! If necessary, I’ll provide supplies or troop support… !”

“It’s not even worth listening to anymore.”

Kuhora bit off the head of the troll.

‘Kkwak kuduk kuduk kuduk’

“It’s tenacious.”

Then, Kuhora’s impressions of swallowing a corpse.

“Yes, Colonel… .”

“Is there anyone who wants to follow in the footsteps of a stupid regimental commander?”

Blood spurted out from its bloody mouth. It broke the will of even the remnants of the rebellion called Kuhora.

“Kreuk! Lock up the rebels, organize them properly, and report back. ”

Kuhora ordered his able-bodied subordinates and headed to his tent.

“Kuhora.”

“Ah, Makkku.”

When Kuhora’s transformation was released and he was staggering, Makku, who had lost both arms, tried to support him, but ended up leaning against him awkwardly.

“What about treatment?”

“Kuhora is further ahead than me.”

“A guy who lost his arms is bluffing, bring Jatan-nim.”

Kuhora called in the healer assigned to each brigade. He was as important as himself, so it was difficult to treat him carelessly, but the emergency situation made it possible.

“Kkeulkeul, it looks like you had a blast. It was always a peaceful place.”

While resting in the tent, a demon healer came in. Most of them were arrogant as they had recovery-related abilities, but the healer belonging to Kuhora’s brigade was a very sensible opponent.

“Because of the damn Dark Harvester.”

“Dark Harvester? Are you talking about that Dark Harvester? How did your neck get stuck? This guy, again, this guy lost his arm. Tsk tsk.”

Flap flap

The empty space below the elbow flailed his arms.

“You came back alive.”

“Whew-. If it weren’t for Critic’s orders, I would have thrown away the operation and everything.”

“Yeah, that’s wise if you want to live.”

From the beginning, he was not an opponent that could be used in tactics or strategies. He realized once again that it was an unreasonable order, and he felt bitter when he remembered Kehyo who had disappeared with the priestess.

“Then where are you now?”

“Sent to the Samsam Garrison.”

“No, how?”

“I used the return scroll.”

“Kkeulkkeul. The commander of Sasam might change soon.”

Now I laugh and say it’s someone else’s business.

“Are you okay, Jatan?”

“What do you mean?”

“There should be a healer there too. He’s a priest who serves the god, so you should know him, right?”

“If you die, you die. Isn’t that the fate of the demons?”

“That’s right.”

It was a death that came not only to the demon race, but to all living beings.

“Okay, it’s done. You’ll feel better in about two days.”

Jatan, who started treating Makku at Kuhora’s request.

“Thank you sir.”

“You come here too.”

“Please take care of me.”

Jaten passed Makku, whose friendly demeanor belied his large size and fierce appearance that made the tent too crowded, and approached Kuhora, who was leaning against him as if he was lying down in exhaustion.

“Kuhora! Urgent report from the reconnaissance team.”

“Damn it, come in.”

Just when he thought he was getting some rest, he frowned at the situation that wouldn’t leave him alone.

“What’s going on?”

“The commander of the element city started to move himself.”

“What? The commander himself? Why not defend the castle? Are you trying to rescue the priestess?”

Far from being rescued, I was beaten to death by just one person. I somehow managed to send her to Garrison 43, but I wasn’t sure if I could catch the priestess there.

It would be fortunate if they could kick him out without causing any damage.

Since he had also sent the hostage, I thought that Brigade Commander Sasam, who was like a raccoon, would do something about it.

“Looking at the direction, it seems to be moving for distribution.”

“It’s popular, finally… !”

Whether it was thanks to Jatan’s healing technique or the news he was receiving, Kuhora’s complexion was gradually improving. Before he knew it, he had sat up straight.

“It’s faster than I expected. Well, even if support comes, it’ll take time. I guess it’s better to get out before the surrounding area is surrounded by a group of Chujaras.”

Kuhora had prepared several plans for the operation, and he also prepared countermeasures in case of failure. Among them, he had expected the commander to take action himself, but he was half in doubt.

“Keep an eye on them without getting caught. How many people have been supplied?”

“There were eleven in total, but there was one human male.”

“Human male? Are you here to rush the supply because it’s late?”

How much effort did they put into trying to stop its spread?

Even after monitoring for half a year, they didn’t even send a messenger, let alone supplies, so it must be equally difficult for them to receive supplies.

Moreover, since the whereabouts of such distribution are unknown, there is nothing to stop it even if you try to stop it, so how can you stop it?

So Kuhora gathered as much information as possible and tried to attract the Chujara group by annoying them so that they wouldn’t even think about supplying it.

“I’m not sure about that.”

“Ouch, is that so.”

Although I was concerned about the existence of elements other than the original, I was also moved that I was finally able to achieve the delayed supply that I had been aiming for.

It would not be an exaggeration to say that the 43rd Brigade of the Demon King’s Army was deployed here for this operation. They made every effort to obtain information, and the time had come for their efforts to bear fruit.

Even though the priestess’s intrusion did cause considerable damage.

“Yeah. If you don’t know, you have to find out. Have you figured out which way to go?”

Even though I could guess the destination, the route was the problem.

“Considering that their luggage and clothing are simple and that the members, including the commander, are unusual, it is highly likely that they will travel along the rugged mountain ridges to achieve a quick victory.”

“If it’s a rough mountain range, then the Canio Mountains? Damn, you’re being picky.”

Kuhora was annoying, but considering the circumstances of the elements, it was reasonable. If you go there, you won’t have to go around and you won’t even encounter a group of Chujaras.

“But it’ll take a long time.”

A series of events have left you exhausted, but if you don’t move, you’ll be slowed down. You can contact the Chujara shamans and allies you’ve recruited to delay the supply, but the best thing to do is capture supplies and elements.

Rather than blocking them in a petty manner and buying unnecessary attention, you can just gather enough troops and make a surprise attack.

“Tell the entire army. It is time to begin the long-awaited operation. Prepare to go. The destination is the Canio Mountains!”

“Yes!”

Kuhora was about to add that only sane people should come out, but he closed his mouth, thinking that he would check for himself and filter them out.

First of all, it is important to understand the brigade’s situation, but the report is late.

Leaning back against the backrest, lost in thought.

The fact that the enemies are moving in small groups means that they are focusing on mobility. Since it is the destination anyway, I have placed a stronghold near it, but if they cross first, even a strong fortress will be useless. But then, who should I leave this place to?

Kuhora looked to his left for a moment, but instead of the Kehyo he had secretly relied on, there was a healer who had healed him.

“… Mr. Jatan. Could you take care of this place while I’m away?”

“Huh? Me?”

Their affiliations were different and their roles were different. However, Kuhora decided that it was not impossible considering the other person’s position and experience.

And there was a most important reason.

“I’m ashamed to say this, but the brigade is currently short on trustworthy officers.”

“The Dark Harvester has been here. I guess so.”

Half of it was true, but the other half was because of the betrayal of the idiot, and I couldn’t bring myself to reveal it.

“Hmm, this is hopeless. I have little knowledge of military affairs, but I will try my best.”

Touching his wrinkled hands.

“… Thank you.”

Just as Makku had bowed before, Kuhora, who had finished her treatment, bowed her head respectfully towards Jatan.

**

“Kkeulkeul, if anything comes up, contact me. Be careful, Ssam Regiment Commander.”

“Please be careful, Jatan.”

When Mullet, who had sorted things out, contacted the 44th Garrison directly to protest, he had no choice but to calm down to the unexpected response. Thus, they exchanged information and ended the communication.

“What’s going on, Sam? I’m so busy, aren’t I?”

At that moment, a demon healer from my brigade entered the brigade commander’s office.

“There’s something that I need to be careful about that you should know about.”

Because the garrison had been peaceful for so long, the sight of the healer enjoying pleasures in the enemy’s territory was disappointing.

“Be careful? Come to think of it, the garrison is noisy.”

Moreover, I am annoyed by the attitude of not knowing what is going on in the city.

“The Element Tribe priestess has appeared.”

The news Mullet had to tell was simple.

“Element Tribe Priestess? Ha! This chaos over just one element! Is it because you stayed in the enemy camp too long? Even you, who were once famous for being a wild bullfighter, have lost your way. More importantly, since you are an element tribe, are you going to hand me over to the private sector again? Before I hand you over, I will give you a taste, so if you catch me, give it to me first.”

However, the demon healer in my affiliation did not have much knowledge compared to his bloated ego.

“… That’s not such an easy problem.”

A sigh is swallowed as I watch the healer talking as if it were a foregone conclusion that he would be taken prisoner.

“Wow. You’re crying.”

Mullett wanted to scream at the prospect of seeing the same horror that was soon to grip her, but she barely held herself together.

“What if that elemental priestess is a dark harvester?”

“… Double the number of troops needed to protect this body immediately.”

“I called you to tell you that it can’t be done.”

“Are you kidding me? Don’t you know how precious this body is?”

“It’s wartime right now and I’m here for an important operation. You must follow my orders.”

“Damn it. You came all the way here and you’re a Dark Harvester? I can’t believe it. What happened to your defenses!?”

“I issued a camo. And I took steps to notify you immediately if you find it.”

The Dark Harvester is the best assassin on the continent and in Maluk. We have prepared various defenses against him, especially one of the guards has a whistle in his mouth that can be blown at any time.

“That’s not enough! You have to set a trap with the thought of abandoning the garrison!”

“Already did that.”

“Working with Canturko?”

“… Reconsidering.”

“Damn it, damn it, damn it…! You came all the way here and you’re a Dark Harvester?! Do you have the scroll to return to the Demon World?”

“This is mine.”

“Then ask the priest for it!”

“That can’t be. You’re going to use it right away when you get it, right?”

“Then you don’t use it?”

“This cowardly guy!!”

Eventually, I couldn’t tolerate this behavior any longer.

“If you keep acting like an idiot, I’ll cut off your head first, so if you’re a soldier, get to work!!”

“This, this body is not a soldier, but a priest serving the Lord… .”

“Now you are a healer under my command.”

The Demon King’s army didn’t raise the flag to avoid being caught colluding with Kanturko, but that wasn’t the issue.

“… Damn it!”

The healer timidly objected to Mullet’s shout, but then he was told to leave for now and that he would be called back later, so he trudged out.

“Whew. That kind of thing is also a demon tribe.”

Tired of the shame of only thinking of myself, I turned my gaze to the night sky outside the window to change my mood.

“Even if he’s a Dark Harvester, he wouldn’t leave the hostage behind and sneak in. The Land of Elements is still far away, and the Sasa is using the Chujara group to attack the city. I guess I’ll have to hope that he can hold them there for a long time.”

Mullet himself was angry that he had been treated like this because of a single factor, but his life was precious.

And inside this Mullet’s room, it was quiet.

It existed as if no one had ever existed before.

Someone other than Mullet.
