175. Only
After arriving at Iasin, the Allied Forces stayed for two days to complete their organization and formulate a more detailed plan.
The 110,000 army was divided into three formations, and three warriors served as their commanders.
Balaf This Road (Dormut direction) – The Jespine Empire, the Dormut Kingdom.
Roselle Chartres (Korzen direction) – Akan Kingdom, Korzen Kingdom, Hessen Kingdom, Iasin Kingdom, Machiel Kingdom.
Hillen Cargill (for Horton) – Hilderan Kingdom, Horton Kingdom, Traparta Union, Ormus Kingdom, and Guya Kingdom.
“You are Hillen Cargill.”
Hillen Cargill, who advanced to the Kingdom of Horton, arrived at the royal capital and met another star.
Jessica Horton. The princess of the Horton Kingdom, and one of the few heroes belonging to a kingdom that is not a guild and a star.
She was the sword that protected Horton and the last shield. Because of this, she hoped not to leave the kingdom, and even though the Horton Kingdom participated in the Union, she was lost.
“I see you, Princess.”
“Please refrain from such manners with the same stars.”
“no.”
“It’s been a long time indeed. Isn’t that right?”
“Yes.”
“I am really grateful for that time. Thanks to you, I have something to say to Gillian. But I’m sorry to think that your life has been put in jeopardy because of me.”
“no. I just did what I was supposed to do as a warrior. Where is the hero who does not risk his life to fight the Demon King?”
“Of course, not everyone says it’s the right thing to do. It was not for you.”
“It was a failure in the end due to lack of ability.”
“It’s not because of your lack of ability, it’s because we all underestimated the Dark Lord of the Cold. Who would have thought that the Demon King would have hidden so many monsters and monsters and dug a trap?”
Hillen barely swallowed the words that some demon lords were preparing magic cannons.
“I haven’t paid the promised price to you yet, so it’s my fault. Is there anything you wish for now?”
“it’s okay.”
“Everything has a price. You accepted my favor and risked your life to help Gillian Eint, and I risked my honor and promised you a fair price.”
“.
“It’s okay even after the subjugation is over. After talking like this, it seems that I am rebuking you. sorry.”
Jessica laughed bitterly.
“no. Thank you for your consideration.”
“It is me.”
After completing her solo session with Jessica, Hillen returned to her assigned royal residence.
“It’s a request that Princess Jessica promised with her honor.”
To be honest, I forgot. In the first place, I didn’t expect anything big from Jessica’s request.
Fame as a warrior, and connections with her.
The request was just an extra part.
And despite the failure of subjugation, her reputation fell, but she recovered well and succeeded in making a favorable impression on her.
After that, things happened one after another and I forgot about it as I was swayed by the Demon King.
‘It’s a good card.’
It is a request that can be made to a hero who holds the position of a star. I’m begging you, because of her personality and position, she’ll be willing to listen to anything.
Depending on how you use it, the effect will vary greatly.
‘Are you going to ask the guild to push me?’
‘Or an investigation into mental magic?’
Although he is now the main lord of the Demon King, Hillen always dreamed of escaping.
Thanks to the Demon King, it helped me a lot, and I did not deny that I am where I am today. But, after all, isn’t human beings longing for freedom?
No matter how great a warrior, what would you do if you killed four or five demon kings? The personal thing of the Demon King is the same.
‘Let’s think about it later. We have to focus on this first.’
A whopping 110,000 reconnaissance teams and more than 1,000 warriors were mobilized.
Still, Hillen Cargill wasn’t sure that Berge was going to die.
that confidence.
It was because of the unreasonable confidence that Berge showed.
‘No, what kind of demon king is that demon king? There must be a reason.’
I just don’t share it with myself.
‘The opponent is Ballaf Dislord.’
Could the demon king’s reason be enough to feed the dragon slayer sharpening his sword?
That was the focus of this heroic journey, Hillen was convinced.
‘By the way···.’
Naturally, Hillen’s brow wrinkled as he remembered the last night’s podium.
‘Balaf This Lord is suspicious of the relationship between me and the Demon King…?’
I didn’t say that out loud, but there was a strange atmosphere.
It was a very small piece, but Hillen could feel it intuitively.
‘Is it because the tower was moved?’
Hillen found it, but he didn’t. The fact that the tower was moved was something that had never happened before.
It was more plausible to think that Hillen was hiding something rather than the tower had moved.
‘But why…’
Don’t you think I killed it and hid it? If there is no tower, you would think that the Demon King is dead at first, right?
Like the demon king of lust.
‘I don’t know.’
Hillen thought for a moment, then shook his head. Whatever it is, this thing has long since left his hands.
I closed my eyes and prayed earnestly.
‘Please, I hope the results come out in a way that is beneficial to me.’
Berge beheaded Balaf, cutting off the seeds of doubt altogether.
Or, let Balaf Dislord cut Berge’s head to free him from his powers.
Either way, Hillen Cargill will have one less worry.

Countless humans are just good prey for monsters.
Fear Griffin, who has its own realm in the paradise of monsters called Erzestra, was also the same.
Fear Griffins were more hairy monsters than normal Griffins, and they lived in groups ranging from a few dozen to a hundred.
As they flew, they smelled sweet prey. They ate up at the sight of countless human beings.
Captain Griffin has ordered to prepare for the hunt.
Some griffins said the number of humans was too many, but Captain Griffin ignored their opinion.
There were quite a few humans in his view, but that was all. After all, humans were only a weak prey. There were some who resisted quite a bit, but if they attacked at once and came with only a few, they would be scared and run away.
So, the griffins flapped their wings. They started descending all at once towards the humans.
And that’s it.
──────!
It was Captain Griffin’s last memory.
spatula-
His body was split in two by a huge slash. Countless arrows and auras attacked the griffins who were bewildered by the death of the captain.
Fabababak-
Kee eh!
The screams of the Fear Griffins shook the quiet snowy mountain.
“Welcome down.”
Ballaf This Lord, who tore Captain Griffin in one day, wiped the blood off his sword. Without him going any further, the griffins quickly became bloody and died.
Only ten escaped. Ballaf didn’t bother chasing them.
This is because the attack of a group of about 100 griffins, which is rare to find anywhere else, is just a common daily routine here.
“I will divide the troops from here.”
After entering Erzest, the Allied Forces of the Empire and Dormut nodded their heads without letting go of the tension in the first full-scale battle they had to face.
Ballaf divided the army of 40,000 into four groups of 10,000 each, allocating each region.
The first team, Ballaf Dislord, he himself.
Gillian Eint in the 2nd team.
Aina Diaphrin in the 3rd team.
And the 4th Army is a warrior named Buern from Dormut.
It was a perfect fit for a coalition of 40,000 consisting of 30,000 Imperial Army and 10,000 Dormut Army.
“Go up from the bottom, scouring. There are no two failures. You must find the tower.”
“Yes.”
“I do.”
“I don’t want to fail twice, so I have to do my best.”
The search party was divided into four branches, and then into dozens again, sweeping up the mountain range from the bottom up.
The monsters that invaded the realm made a fuss, but they all turned into a handful of corpses and disappeared with a scream.
And there was a demon king who watched everything from afar.
“Are you planning to dry up the seeds of monsters at all?”
ignorant bastards. Berge clicked his tongue.
“Do you know any faces?”
“Pretty much.”
“Most of them die.”
“You won’t be able to get to the tower.”
“Don’t correct it. Most of the warriors die.”
“Are you going to save the rest?”
“If you know how to roll your tail and run away, I have no intention of overdoing it.”
“I’m happy. Thank you for your mercy.”
“Come on.”
At Kaede’s gratitude, Berger smiled a self-helpful laugh. It wasn’t mercy, it was escape.
Just because the trap was dug did not mean that the overwhelming power difference was reduced.
Even if the warriors were annihilated at once, there were tens of thousands of troops left, so there was a high possibility that they would receive a concentrated attack and retreat ugly.
Because each one of them were elites, not the common soldiers.
“Cruto, what would you do?”
“If you give me an order, I will punish them in the name of the Demon King.”
“Arthur. You will be annihilated.”
What would you do with only a few hundred orcs?
“Just let me go back.”
“Is that okay?”
“Originally, I was going to induce them to come to the tower, but…”
If you go up from one to ten like that, the story changes.
The speed will slow down and the monsters will collide more frequently, so the damage will increase, but you will surely reach the fake tower.
Well done.
“What kind of hero is Ballaf Dislord?”
“There is no direct contact with me. Because of that, I can’t tell you. But I know he is very strong and representative of the Empire.”
Ballaf This Lord has been associated with the Empire for quite some time. The Empire has long had a relationship with some of the Heroes of the Stars, and Ballaf was also one of the heroes that the Empire supported.
“The relationship is deep…. If so, how many times do you think Barstein could be passed on to him?”
“···Yes? That is impossible.”
“Why?”
“The red dragon sword is the symbol of the empire. No, it is a symbol of the imperial family. There is no way I can hand it over to anyone who is not related to the imperial family.”
In the first place, Kaede had not even heard of the rumor that Barstein had fallen into anyone’s hands.
“If Barstein had been taken out and a master had been established, the whole empire would have been in turmoil.”
“But what if you had it?”
“that···.”
“Nevertheless.”
Berger emphasized it one word at a time, one word at a time.
“If you had?”
“…The Red Dragon Sword is different from the general relics of Vigo. There is no way to take them out simply because the owner has been decided.”
“What if?”
“Nevertheless, if it is possible to take it out without even a mouse or a bird and hand it over to someone who is not a blood relative of the Empire.”
“if there is?”
“…that is only Abamama.”
Neither the 1st Prince, nor the 2nd Prince, nor the 1st Princess, nor the 3rd Prince.
Only the Emperor of the Empire can deceive everyone.
“··········!”
