Martin gave the lead to Belloff, who was more accustomed to the mountains.Belloff sent three rangers, including the White Weasel, in all directions.
“I will use the Rangers to search the surroundings with certainty. After all, this is a race against time.”
It’s a matter of how long it will take to find the tower.
Even if it took a little bit of time, it was better to go back for sure.
“Yes.”
A week passed like that. At that time, the search party had no choice but to feel strange.
Although monsters such as Yeti, Frostwolf, and Troll appeared, it was probably because they were few compared to Erzest’s notoriety.
“Are you like this?”
“no. Even at the beginning, Erzest is a place full of monsters from the very beginning.”
Belof Korzen frowned. He had ascended to Erzest several times as the head of the White Weasel Silk. Although he could not always get out of the entrance, he remembered clearly how many monsters greeted them each time.
“How about expanding the search range of the rangers and looking for the monsters first?”
“I do that.”
The search party set up camp on a suitable mound and rested, while struggling to find out the cause.
“This is probably…”
“Yes, I think so.”
Unlike others, Hillen Cargill and Granada knew the cause of this.
A strategy to lure the monsters in the mountains and explode them at once.
The stillness of now was as good as the eve of the storm.
“Mr Hillen. Did something like this happen during Healer-sama’s heroic journey?”
Then Daphner came. Granada quickly shut her mouth.
“no. At that time, there were a lot of monsters from the beginning. It was my first time seeing Erzest at the time, so I can’t give you a definitive answer, but I think it was at least the same as what I heard at Horton Walk.”
“It was the same when I climbed to search the tower. If so, this is the first time something like this has happened…”
Daphner rubbed his chin.
“It is certain that the Demon King has done it. The ecology of monsters is inseparable from the Demon King.”
There are more things to keep in mind. Controlling monsters means that the demon lord’s influence has grown stronger.
“Hiding the monsters seems to mean hiding them and attacking them at once.”
“I think the same.”
“Then it’s a matter of where, how, in what way, and how many monsters gather.”
The demon king greets the warrior at the top of the tower, but sending monsters to the hero or planting warlocks and demons in human society was the traditional way to interrupt the bravery.
At that moment, the knight came and called Hillen and Daphner. It was a call from the prince and prince.
“What do you guys think?”
Arriving at the barracks, the two immediately answered Martin’s question.
“It is the magic of the Demon King.”
“Also. We think so too. What would you like to do?”
“This never happened when Hillen and I climbed. In other words, the influence of the Demon King cannot be that strong.”
“Then there is a high probability that the monsters at the beginning will be pushed out of the food chain.”
“Yes. It will be different from the middle. And perhaps the raid will most likely start there.”
“Then sooner or later.”
“Be fully prepared . . .”
That was then. It was noisy outside.
The knights of the kingdom and the knights of the empire rushed into the tent.
“Your Majesty, I think you should go outside.”
“What’s going on?”
“Did the monsters appear?”
“no. Demons have appeared.”
“A demon?”
rushed out A shadow appeared over the snow-covered mound not far from the camp.
A woman who covered her body with a robe and covered her face with a mask. And behind her there were the municipalities.
“human?”
“I feel the magic. You could be human.”
“Behind him is a dark elf. That woman must also be a demon.”
people murmured
“Is it the Demon King’s masterpiece?”
“If you give me an order, I will catch you right away.”
Some were puzzled, and some burned their fighting spirit.
But everyone was feeling a strange sense of insecurity.
A woman wearing a mask in the middle of the mountain range of Erzest full of monsters.
It didn’t fit at all.
“It’s said that he’s the Demon King of Flame, aren’t we going to the Tower of Lust?”
If he belonged to the demon king of lust known as a succubus, he could have done so. However, the woman in front of her was far from a succubus no matter how much she looked at it.
“The Daphner Ball.”
“… nothing has been revealed about the Demon Lord of Flames. No matter what you do, it is not strange.”
However, during the heroic events he participated in, there was never a case like this.
at that time.
“hello.”
The woman bowed softly and greeted her. It was so much more gentle and graceful.
Her voice was small, but clearly audible to everyone’s ears.
The commotion disappeared and everyone’s attention was focused.
The woman smiled proudly.
“Nice to meet you, people. I am the Four Heavenly Kings serving the Demon King, a dark spirit magician.”
“… the Four Heavenly Kings?”
“It’s the Four Heavenly Kings. What is it?”
“The demons are spirit magicians?”
There were too many contradictions in the short sentences. It was the first time I heard of the existence of the Four Heavenly Kings, and that he was a spirit magician.
Spirits are the source of the world. It didn’t make sense that demons, invaders from other dimensions, could handle spirits.
‘…that’s crazy. What is Ernya Hilde?’
Hillen and Granada endured their distorted faces with superhuman patience.
They knew better than anyone who the being in front of them was. Because I have seen it and experienced it.
‘What the hell are you thinking?’
‘What if I get caught…!’
She put on her own makeup with a mask, but she couldn’t completely hide her mood.
Fortunately, it is quite far away now, she wears a mask, and even exudes magic.
As their troubles deepened, the dark spiritist spoke again.
“I have come to convey the words of the Demon King to you. Who is the Most High?”

Martin and Belloff flinched at the same time. They looked at each other, but in the end it was Martin who stepped forward.“It’s me.”
“This is the Third Prince of the Empire, Martin Jespine.”
“Do you know me?”
“sure. How could you not know the prince of a great empire? If you are the prince of the Empire, you have the right to listen to the words of the Demon King.”
Loudly, she awkwardly changed her voice to bold.
“Go down the mountain right now. If not, don’t save my life. This is my last mercy on you.”
Hillen and Granada screamed silently at the crudeness, but fortunately the others, who were absorbed in the atmosphere, did not find it strange.
“It sounds funny.”

Martin shook his head.“You are the ones who planted a warlock in Habstine Gorge and took control of the Empire. The Empire will not neglect this, and the Demon King will surely regret it.”
“Things like that only touch the heart of the Demon Lord even more.”
“I am warning you. Even now, admit your mistake and hand over the princesses you kidnapped. Otherwise, the worst will be waiting for you.”
“It doesn’t make sense. I think you guys need an education.”
“education?”
“On behalf of the Demon King, I, the Dark Spirit Magician, will teach you the subject.”
In an instant, mana fluctuated. The mask’s magic was mixed with mana, obscuring its presence.
“How uncomfortable the Demon King’s heart is.”
“And what kind of being I am serving him.”
Kugugugugu-
The mountain trembled.
“···Oh My God.”
Humans exclaimed.
It was snow. It was a wave made of snow.
“Get it sweet.”
A tsunami of snow that is close to disaster. The knights spewed out auras. The wizards havetily made a shield.
“Something like a trivial demon…!”
The pride of the Empire, the Platinum Shield Wizards chanted a joint spell. A huge ice barrier blocked everything.
“majesty!”

Martin hurriedly hid behind them with the knights.However.
“Is it better?”
The dark spiritist laughed. Humans blocked their view by creating barriers.
As if waiting, hundreds of magic cannons hiding behind her revealed their muzzles.
It hid itself in the avalanche and ice walls, and hid the sound in the noise of the avalanche. so it blew fire.
bang bang-
There were explosions one after another. The wall shook.
“Ugh…!”
“Something is hitting the wall!”
“Is it black magic?”
“Hold on! When it collapses, it’s over!”
The wizards vomited blood and added mana. It was broken and restored repeatedly, but in the end, the magic gun was the victor.
Hundreds of magic cannons created by craftsmen, one of the best among the Dwarves, far exceeded the level that a few human wizards could block.
────!
The wall collapsed. The wizards vomited blood. And in between, a tidal wave of snow, which had been suppressed for a while, swept through everything.
Screams and screams, everything was buried.
“Adios Amigo.”
The dark spiritist murmured softly.
* * *
A mound different from where Ernya is. Berge looked down at the scene of Abi Gyu-hwan with his arms crossed.
“I can’t make Ernap act.”
I was afraid that I would be caught by the awkward smoke. Nevertheless, the mission was accomplished without any problems.
“Many have survived.”
An even bigger avalanche swept through everything, but it wasn’t just the elite of both countries.
The magician made the shield stronger, the knights withstood with an aura, and the rangers left their bodies in the snow to minimize injuries.
The formation was completely disintegrated, but there were relatively few survivors. Exactly, that was the level Berger intended.
“···Well. Are Hillen and Granada okay? Red Sell.”
After completing the mission, Ernyan, who approached the place where Berger was, asked worriedly.
“Are you good enough to say goodbye?”
“I made eye contact with Granada-sama, so I didn’t even realize it…”
You’re too obsessed with the role of a dark elementalist. Well, it wasn’t bad. The more she does, the more it will benefit Berge.
“No need to worry. There is nothing more like cockroaches than them.”
“Then I’m glad.”
“But I can’t get them to be reorganized.”
Berger blinked. Puuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu blew the trumpet.
The Ful Orcs, who had brought the monsters around the battlefield, began to move all at once.
tens, not hundreds.
The harsh monsters that lived in the cold snowy mountains were a disaster for the Allied Forces, who were bewildered by avalanches and unknown attacks.
A battle ensued, and blood and screams abounded.
Among them, the two stars stood out the most.
Hillen Cargill and Daphner Philian.
Every time the lightning flashed, Hillen’s sword cut the monster’s head. Daphner’s arrow pierced the enemy’s vital point the moment it escaped the demonstration.
“Send more monsters to lure those two.”
At Berge’s order, the Orc blew the trumpet once more. The distance between the two heroes and the third prince gradually widened as the battle became more intense.
“Cut that eye a little.”
“yes.”
Ernian and the elves moved the spirit once again.
That moment-
Wedge eh-
A flash of dimensional interference flickered.
Quad Duck-
Berge’s grip was removed. The arrow, which was forcibly stopped, could not withstand the force and crumbled. Ernyl blinked at the arrow that reached her nose.
Berger frowned at the power of the interference that penetrated the body.
“Are you about to die?”
“You’re easygoing for something like that.”
“I’m surprised. very much.”
still.
“I thought the Demon King would protect me. It actually happened.”
Berge snorted and turned his head. Their eyes met the Daphner Philian, who was aiming for a new protest in this direction.
Once again, an arrow flew. That was the beginning. One foot quickly evolved into dozens.
threw black fire The fire consumed the flash.
“Cruto.”
“Yes.”
“Face that guy.”
Croutu rode the Frostwolf and ran. The Fer Orcs who had finished the chase followed.
The scream grew louder.
yet. None of the warriors could care about the prince.
Only then.
The demon king who had been watching moved.
to kidnap the prince.
“Are you taking your clothes off? To convince your brother, you need a smooth tongue. When I persuaded you, I did a mouth exercise and went in.”
“Well···.”
Kaede swallowed the saliva.
It was information I didn’t want to know.
