135. Useful Hillen Cargill
Having persuaded Ernyan, it was time to move on to the next step.
How do you plausibly pass Ernyan to Hilderan?
The best option was also to use Hillen Cargill, and Berge and Gordon stuck with it.
It wasn’t without problems though.
“Healan Cargill must eventually come to the tower to save Ernyl Hilderan.”
And that method is bravery, or raids.
But are there people who think it’s right to attack a tower that has just been discovered and devoured a lot of people with only a few raids all of a sudden?
Healen Cargill may see it as possible, but not everyone will.
Berge has put a lot of work into Hillen Cargill. Before he can use it properly, he shouldn’t be questioned.
“But if it’s not Hillen, it makes more sense.”
“right.”
It was unprecedented for a demon king to release a princess suddenly for no reason.
Humans would be surprised, but it was something that even the same demon lords could catch a pod.
“I’m going crazy.”
At this time, it was again a problem to build the tower in Erzest. If it were an open field that anyone could come in and out of, no one would say there was a problem even if the princess was sneaked away.
‘No. Then he must have been subjugated right away.’
It was a meaningless assumption.
Then one of the communication ports began to flash.
“The orcs said they would come too.”
“Are you Hillen Cargill?”
“okay.”
Berge injected magic into the communication port.
“What’s going on?”
“Demon Lord, I have a request.”
“Request?”
“Please don’t get angry and listen to me until the end.”
“What are you talking about with your tongue so long?”
“···that is.”
“I hate stuffiness the most.”
“please.”
Hillen Cargill banged his head over the duct.
“Please give me Ernyl Hilderan.”
* * *
that the tower was found.
I was with you on that journey and played a pretty pivotal role.
Hillen Cargill was at the center of it.
Although the 3rd Prince of the Empire and the 2nd Prince of the Korzen Kingdom were nominal commanders, it was Hillen and Daphner who led the search team to the end.
And to the extent that Daphner died, his fame was completely poured on Hillen.
But he didn’t enjoy it.
It was because the call came as if he had been waiting in Hilderan.
“The King of Hilderan has called you?”
“Yes, my lord.”
“Hilderan had a lot of it. Let’s go.”
“sorry.”
“I’m sorry, are you sure you won’t come to my heroic journey?”
“Never. My determination to subdue the Tower of Chloride has not changed.”
“Don’t make me believe it.”
Farewell to Martin, Hillen returned to Hilderan.
“Long live Hillen Cargill Champion!”
“Great warrior!”
Upon entering the royal capital, a march was prepared for him. The people chanted and cheered his name.
That in itself was very enjoyable. It’s always been what he wanted for people to admire him and admire him.
However, I could not enjoy it comfortably because of the circumstances that followed.
The march stopped in front of the royal palace. Hillen dismounted and the knights approached.
“Your Majesty is waiting.”
“···Yes.”
I didn’t want you to wait.
The red carpet in the hallway seemed to lead him to hell.
‘It’s obvious. Now that the location of the tower has been revealed, they will tell you to rescue the princess.’
Then Hillen dies, but has to live. Unless you’re completely out of touch with Hilderan.
There was no justification for refusing to do anything else, as it was to rescue the kingdom’s crown princess and the kingdom’s greatest hero.
‘It means that the cause is not important.’
What would Berge say if he announced that he had become the leader of the Brave Action to kill himself?
‘There are many ways to want to commit suicide.’
And then maybe I’ll blow my head off.
‘It must be stopped. Somehow, at any cost, Hilderan’s heroic act itself must be stopped.’
Hillen Cargill entered the king’s office with trepidation.
“I see you, the great King of Hilderan.”
“It’s been a while, how have you been?”
“Yes.”
“Isn’t your expression good for something like that?”
“no.”
“Well, I see. You must have guessed why I called you.”
“Yes. I am guessing.”
“The words are not clear.”
“What exactly do you want?”
“Are you asking the obvious?”
“I am the sword of His Majesty and the sword of Hilderan. It will be swung according to the will of your majesty, but by knowing the exact will, will you not follow it without any error?”
“Hilderan’s sword was held in the hands of the Empire and danced the sword dance.”
“Your Majesty didn’t want it either?”
Heh, the king burst out laughing.
“Also, you are a scoundrel. Well, it’s more fun than the mellow scoundrel.”
“I’m glad you liked it.”
“I want my daughter, the Crown Princess of this country, Ernyl Hilderan.”
“Do you have no intention of killing the Demon King and destroying the tower?”
“It would be a lie if there was none.”
But why? I also have a question about
“Hilderan suffered a severe blow to his pride. Of course you have to recover. You have to kill the Demon King and destroy the tower to restore your broken pride. But there is no need to do it with my own blood.”
No matter how bad the demon king was in Alain, the demon king was still a demon king. Even if luck was with him, the Demon King of Chlorination was a person with a history of repulsing expeditions and reconnaissance corps several times.
“You have an empire in mind.”
“The Empire will shed the blood for you, so I don’t need to step forward and shed the blood.”
“then···.”
“However.”
The king interrupted Hillen.
“There needs to be a premise that the home country saves the Crown Princess before the imperial ones.”
It wasn’t that I couldn’t, I needed to make it feel like I couldn’t.
“And I don’t see the national treasure of this country being saved in the hands of the imperial ones.”
In a small way, it was a matter of pride, but in a larger view, it was a matter of national dignity.
so.
“You must rescue Ernyl Hilderan.”
is this a name
“There is no right to refuse.”
“·················ogue.”
Hillen did not readily answer. I couldn’t answer.
“My Majesty Haona, we have only found the tower. Even so, the Demon King of Fire ate countless warriors, knights, and wizards. No one knows what kind of magul the tower is.”
I know very well. On the first floor, there’s a dwarf who is crazy about magic cannons.
But you have to pretend you don’t know and exaggerate as much as possible. That way the king can give up, or at least take the time.
“It was not eaten by the Demon King, but by Erzest. They lost a lot of money while wandering around because they could not find the tower.”
“It was the demons who killed the Daphner Philians. If the power of the Demon King’s family is that much, how strong will the Demon Lord be?”
“There are already rumors that the Daphner Philian did not deal with him alone. He was chased by hundreds of monsters and was attacked by two high-level demons called the Four Heavenly Kings. Higher level demons are not weak. If it’s a surprise, you can do it. But do you not know about them now?”
It is also possible to prepare if you know.
“However.”
“Jim thinks their power is exaggerated. It is an orthodox theory that the longer the Demon King stays here, the stronger his power will be restored. By the way, the Demon King of Fire has only been around for a little over a year. Those two demons, maybe the Four Heavenly Kings, so they could be your demons. I think they are the power of the Tower of Chloride.”
really everything.
“It means there’s nothing special about them except for them.”
not. In the first place, the Four Heavenly Kings did not all gather, nor were they demon tribes.
One is the national text of this country that the king so desperately wants, the other is the Imperial Princess, and the other is the Dora of Akan.
‘In the first place, one premise is necessary.’
The fact that Ernian Hilderan is following Hilan.
If Hillen went to rescue her, would she follow suit?
it’s dog shit It was Ernyl Hilderan who violently hit the back of the head of Hillen, who had gone to save her, and turned it into the main ball of the Demon King.
“Hah, Your Majesty.”
“I don’t mean to just send you and the Red Hawk raid. I will send the elite of Hilderan with me, climb the tower secretly.”
“Maybe you will have to fight the Demon King.”
“So I am sending you away. Jim did not command you to kill the Demon King.”
A great warrior who killed two demon kings.
“There’s no way you can’t do one thing without saving the princess and escaping from the Demon King, who has only been coming down for a year.”
“·················ogue.”
Hillen Cargill couldn’t say no.
Because conceptually, that’s right.
“···Yes.”
Eventually, I had to nod my head.
* * *
“…that’s how it happened.”
“That’s why I shouted loudly that he was going to kill me and rescue Ernyan.”
“I didn’t say that. And it sounds like an excuse, but I really couldn’t help it.”
Demon King or Human? It was a two-way issue.
And at least in front of the party, I had no choice but to choose a human.
It would be funny, but the Demon King also had room for compromise.
In front of the king of Hilderan, if he says that he is the devil’s master, he is an unconditional execution, but if he wants to take the human side to the demon king for a while, he hears the situation and agrees.
It’s convincing.
“It means I’m happy.”
“You don’t know what that means, don’t you?”
“This is not a bad condition for the Demon Lord. If I save Ernian Hilderan, the Hilderan Kingdom will step aside and observe the situation.”
“One of the two axes that threatens the Demon Lord will disappear.”
“Stop the bullshit, Hillen Cargill. Before you are a human hero, you belong to my family.”
“Demon Lord, please…!”
“At first, it didn’t feel real at all. Are you going to save Ernyan? This is Erzest.”
“You are not alone! The King of Hilderan has promised your support. There will be enough elites to join us.”
“Only?”
“Not just. Although Empire and Arkhan are the best, Hilderan is not far behind. In particular, the Royal Knights of Hilderan are not inferior to the Imperial Five Dragon Knights.”
“Falling means falling.”
“Of course, that cannot be denied, but… if you ask the Heroes’ Guild for help with Argan’s authority and attach it to this, your power will be sufficient.”
“Can you withstand the firepower emitted by hundreds of magic cannons?”
“that···.”
It was impossible.
The firepower of the magic cannon, especially the one made by the dwarf craftsman, is beyond imagination.
Although Hillen Cargill was confident he wouldn’t be hit by the cannon, not everyone was like him.
The moment you pass through the first floor of the tower, at least half of the power will be blown away.
『…it’s a shameful thing to say, but how about moving all the facilities on the first floor to the next floor…』
“Would you like to eat it raw?”
It was absurd and I laughed out loud. But, as a signal to keep going, he lifted his chin.
“If you fill the first and second floors with some monsters, I will wipe them out and rescue Ernyl Hilderan.”
『…if the Demon Lord puts Ernyl Hilderan on the first or second floor.』
“The King of Hilderan has quite a lot of demands to speak with confidence. Look at me and do something like Raina. Don’t you think that’s weird anymore?”
“It’s not just the demon lord of the cold. Not long ago, Wharton Colo, who was looking for the Tower of the Geumgang River, saved the 3rd Prince of the Kingdom of Guya.”
“By the way, it is said that the place where the prince was located was not on the top of the tower, but on the third floor. It is said that he was imprisoned in a rock, like a tower in the cold.”
Ugar?
He gave me some advice when I was looking for Elena, and it works well.
Well, it’s no wonder cowards don’t use it that way.
“therefore?”
“As long as the two demon lords have already done so, there is nothing special about even demon lord.”
“If you save Ernyl Hilderan like that, then the Demon Lord will be in another big trouble!”
“You will survive.”
『Of course, as usual, but this time, it is only because of my loyalty to the Demon Lord…』
“Loyalty. I always question your loyalty. You may have discussed this with me first. But you are giving notice. The family belongs to the Demon King.”
“no. My loyalty to the Demon Lord has never changed! It was just the circumstances, so I went crazy and couldn’t ask the will of the Demon King.”
“But I’m pretty sure this way is the better way for the Demon Lord!”
“Then do it.”
“···Is that true?”
So easy?
Healan’s eyes widened, even though he had devised a plausible plan to persuade the Demon King, but did not know that he would allow it at once.
“If you don’t like it, don’t.”
“no! I will definitely do it!”
“Call me back when you’re ready.”
“Yes!”
Communication was cut off. Gordon, who was quietly listening with Berge, smiled sly.
“Your Majesty is right. Hillen Cargill is really useful. I hope you come with an alternative solution.”
“The fact that the king of Hilderan himself gave the order has solved a big problem.”
There was no reason to question why Hillen had to rush to climb the tower.
“Healan Cargill will never know. That the Demon Lord already had a similar plan and persuaded Ernyl Hilderan.”
“It doesn’t matter whether you know it or not.”
The important thing.
Because the kingdom of Hilderan has been resolved.
* * *
“No, what are you talking about! How much effort did I put into the design of the first floor!”
The dwarf screamed.
“Take it all apart and move it to the third floor. This makes no sense!”
“It’s your job to make the nonsense happen.”
“The Demon King!”
“Don’t you know?”
Berge growled.
“I am giving orders, not requests.”
“Ha, but…!”
Despite living, the logger did not back down easily. At the moment when Berge is annoyed by his rarely stubborn appearance.
“If it goes according to the Demon King’s plan, we can’t wipe them out with magic cannons!”
“Yeah, you were crazy too.”
“I’ve prepared more than 300 magic cannons, but I can’t use them! It’s been neglected so much that it’s rusting!”
“Isn’t it a toy that I shot a while ago, not a magic cannon?”
“Didn’t it end with only two or three shots at that time? You have to shoot dozens or hundreds of bullets with peace of mind, but the true value of the magic cannon is revealed!”
fire power!
The overwhelming firepower that destroys and destroys everything!
“That is the true value of the magic cannon!”
At the sight of proudly expressing his opinion, Berger clicked his tongue.
I was angry about something, but it was strangely vague to be angry.
‘It’s always showing more than expected…’
In the end, Berge decided to persuade rather than forcefully deal with it.
“In the process of moving all the facilities on the first floor to the third floor, I will allow you to tear down a part of the tower.”
In an instant, Logger’s eyes changed.
“I will tear down the whole first floor and plant it on the third floor! Thorough, perfect, shrewd and militant!”
“Until there.”
“Yep!”
Logger shut his mouth. But the pupils that glistened with greed were not erased.
