episode_0014
by fnovelpiaThe moment has come when duty no longer stands in the way of instinct.
All the reason of the thirsty demons was blown away.
Only war! War! War!
Durin’s power, which was enough to fill the void left by the Demon King, set fire to the legionnaires. It gave the strongest pleasure a devil could feel and gave strength to the soldiers.
“Durin!! Durin!!”
“Quaaa!!”
The momentum of the expeditionary force engulfed the rebels. They were ambushed in the middle of the night and destroyed before they could do anything. From the moment they heard the shouts from afar, they had already sensed defeat. The southern warriors also realized for themselves how strong the commander of the expeditionary force that came here was.
“What are you doing! Stand guard!”
“Protect!! Protect it!!”
The rebel non-commissioned officers, who sensed that the situation was unusual, drew their swords and shouted loudly. But it had no effect. Instead, trying to put the soldiers ahead only ended up ruining the battle line.
“Kill him!!”
The result was the worst for the rebels.
Kwaaa!
Wow!
The leading demons were crushed by the legionaries’ shields. It shattered with a horrifying scream. The castle’s soldiers trampled them with their boots before the scattered blood even wet the ground. The miserably chopped piece of meat was thrown into deathly silence.
There were no survivors.
Push!
Coo!
Intense bursting sounds erupted here and there. From the moment we lost the first move, resistance was meaningless. Units that did not form a close formation instantly melted like sand castles in front of a strong storm. One collision shook the formation.
It was not the warriors of the Legion who would miss this opportunity. Even while fully displaying his instincts, he was able to read the flow of the battlefield. The body trained over a long period of time and the senses developed through combat experience gave rise to a strong impulse that stimulated aggression.
“Push forward! We must not stop until their lives are taken.”
The words of Verdia, who led the soldiers at the forefront, were the catalyst. The legions threw away their shields and did everything they could to attack. With the warhammer held in both hands, he chopped down all the warriors with tough leather. As I cleared the path in front of me with momentum, my target came into view.
“You were there.”
Verdia killed a wolf cavalryman who had jumped out to stop the charge with his right hand, looking beyond the spreading mist of blood. Among the soldiers wearing rough armor, a man wearing leather greaves with a unique pattern stood alone. I remained dumbfounded, unable to accept the unexpected battlefield situation.
I finally found the head I needed to eat.
“Aurella.”
“Did you find it? Verdia.”
“Okay. I’ll run to hit your head.”
“Leave it to me. We will attach an assault force.“
Aurela gave the signal without delay. Several soldiers turned to follow her gesture. And they all began stamping their feet toward the place where the rebel leadership was located. Verdia followed them, holding his sword tightly.
“A true daughter of the rock mother. Verdia is here!”
As the voice of a warrior full of resentment echoed throughout the battlefield, the attention of the rebels was immediately drawn. She was able to look the old warrior in the eye. I couldn’t help but laugh when I saw that expression full of embarrassment.
I’m going to kill you right now. Verdia rushed towards him in a trance.
……
“You have to run away quickly. A traitor is coming this way.”
“Warchief. I will go out first and buy time. Please take care of yourself.”
Gulan couldn’t come to his senses. A great shock completely shook his mind. This is not the war of my dreams. There is no way a miserable defeat would be recorded in a heroic narrative. It was an end allowed only to the enemy army. To that end, he set up ambushes, engaged in guerrilla warfare, and even threw in all sorts of inducements to lead them to the desired positions. I struggled for the finish that would come someday.
The remnants of the defeated soldiers who were thoroughly trampled by the army of a great warrior. A sacrifice prepared for the intended victory.
I always thought that the warrior holding the sword in that scene would be the great warrior of the South, myself. However, the ambition I had dreamed of so much was in a position to disappear like dust in the wind.
The war ended with only plundering without any insignificant battles. None of the plans he came up with worked, so he only proved his incompetence.
bang! simplicity and honesty!
Wow!
The bodyguard who ran for his master died gruesomely. Without even being able to properly resist, he became a cold corpse in front of the opposing commander. A few brave soldiers who still remained tried to stop him by holding out their spears, but even they were destroyed by the Dullahan assault force that followed.
“This doesn’t make sense.”
Still, I didn’t want to die like a scared coward. Reality was telling me otherwise, but my head was rejecting it. Gulan, who had lost everything, wanted to turn away.
“Aaaaa!!”
Letting out a shout that was almost like a scream, the Southern Warchief drew his sword. The remaining distance was now about fifty paces. I was able to swing it at least once. When I thought that and put strength into my trembling hands.
Pow!
A spear flew out of nowhere and pierced his shoulder. I couldn’t even open my mouth due to the intense pain. It fell to the ground with a loud thud. The loud sound of metal fittings indicated that the game was in jeopardy. The broken body was in a state where it could not resist.
“Oh, no….”
It was a spear thrown by an ordinary soldier. There was no clash of heroes. I couldn’t even recite the tragic fate of my daughter and father. The miserable death he had dreaded had come.
The moment the last wind disappeared, Verdia came in and swung his sword.

“The rebels were annihilated. The barbarian army that was crossing Lactelune can no longer be confirmed.”
Same time. The city’s senate was receiving reports of the battle in real time through the shaman.
The messenger who was with them said the same thing twice, but they could not believe it. Even though I saw the facts with my eyes and ears, I couldn’t believe it.
one week. This was the time it took for Durin’s army to lay waste to the southern continent and advance majestically toward the enemy’s capital.
It is a fall. It is destruction. The war ended quickly, meaningless. I couldn’t help but laugh as I saw the red dot being erased from the map.
“Even if the king disappears… can the castle really be maintained? This, even if you see this with your own eyes, all you can do is laugh.”
“Wasn’t the reason why that childish devil king was able to ascend to the throne thanks to the regent? It was only natural that he was called a devil who could stand against the archangel alone. Rather, it is something we should be ashamed of. I don’t know what to make of the regent who came back from the battlefield.”
“But since Aurela came out together, I think it will be okay. Although I didn’t make a proper contribution, I was able to get rid of it to some extent through this battle.”
“It’s not us, it’s the young people who joined the expeditionary force. We must quickly find a way to survive as nobles of the Senate. You can only survive if you give the regent the answer he wants.“
The old nobles of Lactelun did not take joy. Because once the enemy disappeared, they were next. Although the garrison had done its duty in protecting the city by driving out the rebels, they had not yet accomplished anything. If Durin, who disapproves of this, issues an order against it…
“…….”
No one wanted to see that scene. That’s why the Senate hurriedly racked their brains.
Let’s look at the main function first.
If they wanted to enjoy privileges in this city, they first had to rebuild the broken infrastructure. In a situation where the entire southern border has been reduced to ashes, the castle will recognize that if you make efforts to normalize it.
Everyone focused on the meeting agenda.
“First, we need to set up a tent to accommodate all the survivors. You can replenish food by taking it from loot.”
“No, there is a high possibility that the southern continent itself will be incorporated as a province this time. Nearly hundreds of thousands of southern barbarians have no choice but to come here, not to the rugged terrain, so there is bound to be a shortage of food.”
“The regent had devastated all the farmland, saying it was a land of rebellion. In fact, it can be said that Lactelun is the only land in the south where people can live.“
“It’s hard for us to take care of ourselves, so how do we take care of them? Just expel him.”
The situation was very bad. I racked my brain to come up with a plan, but there was only one answer.
Just sexual support.
When Durin returned with the news of victory, he had to pray, ‘Please have mercy on us, for we are in such and such a situation.’ If they couldn’t do it, the only way left was for them to starve to death in the desolate land.
“In the end, our southern region could not sustain itself alone.”
“Could this also be a painting drawn by the regent?”
“It would be both a business and a business. A conqueror always gains more than one thing from one land.”
The old southern nobles had no choice but to accept. The cities on the border were saved from the rebellion, but at the cost of this, they were unable to stand alone because all the land around them became barren.
“I can’t help it. There is no choice but to accept the rule of the castle and enter the territory under its direct control.”
The status and privileges they could obtain in the southern lands were something they could enjoy only if they were able to survive. Once the conclusion was reached, it was easy to take action.
The Lactelun Senate sent a messenger to the expeditionary force on the southern continent. The main content was the declaration that he would lay down all the sovereignty he had held and come under the control of the regent according to the laws of the demon world. Instead, there was an added condition that only the southern nobles’ right to receive taxes on their fiefdoms would be guaranteed. They promised to always bring in the troops Durin requested, as long as this was done well.
[The descendants of the Rock Mother are now yours. Regent.]
It was the phrase written at the end of the parchment.
At the historical moment when the South, which had been at odds with the Center for hundreds of years, wanted to come under the control of the castle, the empty wind blowing from the arms of the collapsed rock mother launched the sign of change.
