episode_0138

After Lian’s subjugation of the demon lord began, news that a hero had arrived quickly spread to all demons within the demon territory.

The reactions of the demons who heard the news were clearly divided into two types.

‘Let’s find the hero and kill him!’ and ‘Let’s take advantage of the absence of the hero and invade the human land!’.

The former was the choice of strong people who did not know fractions or were confident in their skills, and the latter was the choice of demons who were quick to judge the situation and had a strong desire to conquer.

All of the demons in the demon castle that assisted the demon king chose the former, and other demons who were curious about the hero stayed in the demon territory to see him.

However, no matter how hard they searched for Rian, they couldn’t even find Papja, so most of them reversed their decision.

“After all, marriage is an invasion!”

“I wasted my time for no reason. The advance team is already having some fun, right?”

“Tell me what are you doing? Let’s go right now! Those who went first will have taken care of all the risk factors, so let’s just be quiet and suck at the substance!”

“Anyway, there is west and east, where do you go?”

“Kihihihi! As expected, the sweetness of screams is best in the west!”

“I don’t like those eastern guys who pretend to be noble, so I’m going there. I heard they start a fight even if they complain to the forest. I’m already curious!”

The demons spread their wings wide and left their hometowns, heading to the Western Continent and the Eastern Countries respectively.

The dispersion of troops may not be good, but they didn’t care one bit.

Days when we had to live quietly for nearly hundreds of years.

The demons who had endured for so long were so excited that they thought it was okay to throw away strategies as long as they could invade.

“Ugh! The ocean current!”

“Boo, you were definitely quiet just a moment ago?!”

“Save me! ”

“Tsk tsk! That’s why wingless chicks aren’t allowed.”

“Leave it alone. Because it’s a waste of time to even care about those who are left behind.”

The demons who launched their ships to invade through the sea route encountered disaster.

With a sudden change in ocean currents, a whirlpool was created, and the ships collided with each other and were submerged.

In addition, the ships headed toward reef areas and giant creatures living in the sea appeared, ruining the demons’ voyages.

It seemed as if God was punishing them, but there was a being in the sea who was taking control of the situation and creating it.

“For the benefactor who saved our sea, the demons on the sea must not miss a single one!”

“Yep!”

“Destroy and sink the ship!”

“I brought Moby Dick, but should I wake up Leviathan and bring him back?”

“Mobilize everyone! The demons’ route is divided into the west and the east, so you can take charge of one area each.”

“Okay!”

Under the queen’s orders, the mermaids busily moved and submerged the demons.

They couldn’t even deal with the demons flying in the sky, but at least there was no one who could beat the mermaids in the sea.

The mermaids’ assistance caused numerous troop losses on the demon side, proving that the sea was definitely on humanity’s side.

“Look, I see humans!”

“It looks like he knew we were coming?”

“If they knew, what could they do? Is there anything more than ‘eat me!’?”

“It’s been a while since I ate a lot!”

The demons, who were able to stay safe because they had wings, identified a group of humans waiting on the western continent.

They were bandits and paladins who followed Mole Turtle, who had kidnapped the leader and the Holy Sword.

After a chase, I happened to encounter a demon.

“Eng! Hehe! I guess I got scabies due to bad luck. How long has it been since you fought the demons and you start fighting again?”

“The boss also suddenly disappeared.”

“If you are the boss, you will do well no matter where you go. I think we need to take care of ourselves now.”

Brothers bandits who spit and raise weapons.

It showed the power to crush the heads of the approaching demons.

“It seems that Praana guided me that something like this would happen.”

“Yes, I almost got into big trouble! Who would have thought that demons would invade in droves at a time like this!”

“We will purify all of those evil beings here today.”

Led by Roland, whom Alaina trusted, the Holy Knights filled their swords with divine power and made a living.

For them, demons are their mortal enemies. Even if he was annihilated, he was an opponent he had to fight against without backing down.

They showed a determination that was different from that of bandits and were ready for battle.

‘It must be difficult. Although we took breaks in between, everyone was very tired from the long march. Even if there are bandits who are allies, will they be able to win? … .’

The determination not to back down in front of his archenemy was, from another perspective, recklessness.

Commander Roland calmly assessed the situation and came to a conclusion.

As he was contemplating a retreat for the future, an unexpected blessing came to him.

“Oh! what? They’re really demons, right?”

“I thought it was half a lie, but it was true?”

“Hey! Client brother! Isn’t there at least future time?”

“You idiot! There are Paladins there too! At least the information was obtained from the Holy Kingdom!”

“But do you think Seongguk is training soldiers who look like mountain servants these days?”

“They look more like a group of bandits than soldiers.”

Mercenaries who exquisitely join the battlefield.

At their head, a sturdy merchant was approaching Roland.

“Nice to meet you, Paladin. My name is Fabiel.”

“Nice to meet you. This is Roland.”

As soon as the two met, they shook hands, instinctively feeling that they were unusual people.

“Since we don’t have much time, can you briefly explain the situation?”

“If you do that, I would really be grateful.”

“These are mercenaries I hired, and I personally led them in preparation for this situation.”

“I would like to ask you how you came to know about it.”

“Not long ago, I was helping the warrior in a small way. Then, as the hero left to defeat the demon lord, I thought about it carefully. What can I do right now? … .”

“Keep talking.”

“Isn’t it best to protect a place where the hero can return? That’s why we hired a large number of mercenaries and brought them in.”

“Indeed. It was a very wise decision. We will cover all hiring costs.”

“It’s okay. Before the hero leaves, you have generously provided the honorarium to the point where it becomes a burden!”

A battlefield where conditions have become much better due to the participation of mercenaries.

A smile appeared on Roland’s previously stiff expression.

Since he no longer had to worry about retreating, he pulled out his sword and aimed it at the demon.

“All troops! Charge!”

This is how the fight between humans and demons over the western continent began.

***

“Ugh… ! Why are we doing this?”

“Stop talking and move. Because it is what His Majesty ordered.”

“These are all swords beloved by the Sword Emperor, so move them carefully. You know if it’s twisted and you drop it on the floor, right?”

“Hee profit!”

Meanwhile, in the eastern countries, numerous personnel were transporting the sword of the Geomje.

Workers moving the tower from the capital to a location near the coast in the south.

When they arrived at the cliff facing the sea, Geomje took over the sword and placed it on the ground.

“Disciple, he only has fun… … . Anyway, as in the past, a child has no respect for his teacher.”

“Don’t be too jealous. If it weren’t for fate, I probably would have passed the opportunity on to you.”

“I can’t help it. I guess I’ll have to drink or binge after work.”

“Have you run out of money to drink because you have to take a new sword as a concubine?”

“Of course, I owe my disciple a lot of debt. Is there anyone in the world who is a hero’s teacher and doesn’t treat him well?”

“You’re still the same.”

“This is the guy I almost raised on my back. I have to repay the favor.”

The Geomje stands up, sticking the last sword into the ground.

There were numerous swords stuck in the ground around him, creating a scene similar to a tomb of swords.

The Geomje lightly relaxed his body and looked at the demon army that was crossing over to the Eastern Kingdom.

“You don’t have to worry even if you miss a few, right?”

“Yes. The necromancers and jiangshi whom I showed mercy to will clean up the deserters. And some goblins also expressed their intention to participate in the war.”

“Then, let’s have some fun!”

The Geomje pulled out the sword that was right in front of him from the ground and manifested the Sword Gang.

His sword energy, approaching transcendence, split the sea, split Mount Tai in two, and tore apart the clouds.

A man who alone has the power to rival a thousand soldiers and ten thousand demons.

In front of the sword dance performed by the Geomje with his hundreds of wives, the demons were nothing but flies.

The people of the East who watched the scene realized that there was no need to fight over who was the strongest.

In this way, the Western Continent and the Eastern countries each participated in the fight, putting forth their strongest forces.

In addition, there are dragons that stop the invasion of demons from the sky, as well as vampire girls who have inherited the strongest blood and orcs who are corpses except for their bravery.

People who had a connection with Lian expressed their intention to participate in the war and defend the continent.
