Berge and Kaede returned to the tower.

Meanwhile, public opinion on the continent, including Hilderan, was getting more and more ripe.【The Demon King who blocked the Demon Lord. Could it be a self-made play? Rare questions that raise your head little by little… ]

The main stories were about the Demon King of Fire and Hilderan, and the Iasians and the Empire.
In between, knights who were suspicious of or favorably viewed the relationship between the Empire and the lie or the actions of the Chrysanthemum were mixed.
It was a collaboration between Ernap and Hillen.
But it wasn’t like that that caught Berge’s attention.

“Lavinia defeated the White Dragon Knights?”
It’s the White Dragon Knights.
It was not an unrelated Knights Templar.
Before he returned, he was one of those cheeky bastards who pounded his tower and shouted for the Crown Prince.
“The level of these guys….”
could never be ignored. Each individual’s ability is comparable to that of a high-ranking warrior, and when they worked together, they showed more synergy.
“The pinnacle is lance charging.”
The charge of the knights is the flower of the knights.
from a few tens to a maximum of several thousand. Individually strong knights resonate with each other’s auras and join forces. It is transmitted to the forefront, creating waves that cannot be resisted.
But Lavinia alone destroyed the White Dragon Knights.
“Oh, you are not alone.”
Berger murmured. He wasn’t too surprised. Because in a way it was natural.
“Rabina, who has the power of a real dragon, is much better than those who have no dragons and named them White Dragons.”
How many scales did I remove?
It was a natural result.
“The Akan side is Ha-am…. I guess I don’t have to worry.”
It seemed to hold up better than I expected. Additionally, if reinforcements arrived one after another, there was a high possibility that the front line would become stuck.
Berge was leaning against the chair, drooping. I was very sleepy today.
“…I don’t know if I’ll be able to wake up in two weeks.”
Jason said it was a grace period and talked about two weeks…

eyes closed
Hoping to wake up as soon as possible, the Demon Dragon fell into a long sleep.

“·················ogue.”
“·················ogue.”
Gordon and Reina were unable to speak at the sight of Berge, who had fallen asleep on the throne.
“…and what I feared eventually happened.”
“At this time.”
“It’s because it’s this time. I was forced to deal with Jason, so I absorbed too much power at once. In a way, it was the expected result.”
“Aren’t you just falling asleep?”
Elena, who first noticed that the demon lord had fallen asleep, asked with an anxious voice.
“All life has its limits.”
“I know that.”
“If you face a wall, you can’t get over it by any means. But there are races across all dimensions that take it very lightly.”
dragons.
“Here in Arain and other dimensions, they are called dragons, and in the demon world they are called demon dragons.”
“…I’ve heard stories of dragons not sleeping normally, but driving them to sleep for hundreds of years. no way···.”
“similar. The dragon has a large bowl. However, no matter how large a bowl is, it will eventually fill up, and when it is full, the Demon Dragon expands the bowl again.”
And that process is sleep.
This arrogant race widens what others can’t overcome, even if they try to overcome it, just by sleeping.
“…Then, will you wake up in hundreds of years? It was only two weeks later that the lie told me…”
“Nobody knows.”
The time the dragons sleep varies from time to time and for each dragon.
It is the sleep of dragons that even they themselves do not know when they will wake up.
“Some demon dragons fell asleep for hundreds of years, while others woke up after a few days. Although a few days are just a record.”
Fortunately, when Berge absorbed Daniel Deirus, there were significant changes in his body.
“It means accepting it to some extent.”
“It’s not from 0 to 100, but halfway.”
“okay.”
So just now.
“I can only hope that Jason will wake up within the promised two weeks.”
Considering the things that Berger ate, I doubt it would be possible.

“Long live Princess Lavinia!”
“Long live Cher!”
What was waiting for Lavinia, who was dragged by Cain and forced to join Akan’s army, was a huge amount of cheers and hospitality.
“Sister, please wave your hand. Aren’t everyone welcoming you!”
Cain, riding on Cher’s opposite shoulder, said to Lavinia.
“me? why?”
“Because my sister trampled the White Dragon Knights.”
The unintentional overthrow of the seojeon.
Akan did not send troops, nor did he intend to fight.
It was only Lavinia’s dogma, so it was more meaningful.
It was because the princess alone had cut one of the five dragons that were the symbols of the empire.
It was worth more than simply annihilating an army of 10,000.
Naturally, Akan’s morale skyrocketed.
The praise for Lavinia was overflowing.
“Your sister is the hero of the continent!”
“not really.”
Lavinia replied bluntly.
A hero, a Nabal, what’s the use of all that? Her attention was only directed to the south, the northern provinces of Hilderan.
saw in the newspaper It is said that the flying tower in the sky fired a massive bombardment and annihilated the demons.
It was a pity that I couldn’t see the magnificent sight in person. It was a pity that I couldn’t get those monsters.
Aside from her feelings, in the western fortress of Iasin, Falgraine, a large number of allied forces had already gathered.
“Come here, Your Majesty. Everyone is in awe of your work.”
The commander of Akan, the Marquis of Heiran, smiled broadly. This was because Akan’s honor and position in the Allied Forces rose even further as Lavinia, the princess of Akan, defeated the White Dragon Knights.
Starting with Akan, Dormut, Korzen, Horton, Hessen, and Iasin.
“The hero is here.”
“To destroy the White Dragon Knights alone.”
“His Highness, the chimera of the famous Akan.”
“It is an honor to meet you.”
The commanders of the six great kingdoms and a small number of small and medium kingdoms welcomed Lavinia Akan and Cain Akan.
they sat down A nobleman sitting next to him cautiously spoke to Lavinia.
“Princess Lavinia, if it’s not rude, can I ask you just one thing?”
“who?”
“I am the Marquis of Dane of the Kingdom of Dormut.”
“What?”
“Are you asking me what it is?”
Lavinia nodded her head. It was a little hard to understand, but I knew what she was talking about.
“How did you defeat the White Dragon Knights?”
Everyone’s attention was focused on his question for an instant.
In fact, those present here only heard the news, but did not see it in person.
Because of this, there were some who did not believe, and the Marquis Dane was one of them.
It was natural. The reputation of the White Dragon Knights is beyond imagination.
Although it was true that the White Dragon Knights had fallen, he believed that Lavinia would not have defeated them alone.
For example, Lavinia lured them and the Akan wizards who were waiting for them fell into a trap.
“well.”
“well? How are you?”
“Rush, fist. bang. End.”
“What does that mean?”
“So what you mean is that the Knights of the White Dragon rushed, stretched out their fists, stopped them and killed them.”
Cain sighed and translated her words.
“…do you think that makes sense now? You said that you hit the charge of the White Dragon Knights with your fists from the front?”
“yes. fist.”
Lavinia nodded and raised her bare fists. For her, it meant that she suffered such a wound in return, but in the eyes of the Marquis Dane, it seemed to make fun of him.
It wasn’t a simple battle, but the White Dragon Knights charged and hit it head-on? But is there any problem other than the swelling of the fist?
“…are you making fun of yourself now?”

Marquis Dane struggled to suppress her emotions. If the opponent wasn’t a princess from another country, even a powerful country, Akan, she would have hit her with double insults right away, telling her not to gossip.“Are you kidding me?”
“It doesn’t make any sense to say that you received the charge of the White Dragon Knights with your bare body.”
“why?”
Lavinia tilted her head.
“Yeah, of course…”
The White Dragon Knights are strong…
“…No, nothing.”
Count Dane swallowed the horse while he was speaking. His question was settled like that, and there was talk about how to deal with the Empire in earnest.
“…The Imperial Army that occupied the Royal Capital is currently under maintenance in the Royal Capital. But as they said, if the goal is their home country, they will move again soon.”
“Looking at the progress we have made so far, it seems unlikely that we will advance by dividing the army in different directions. In the end, why don’t we divide only the vanguard and the main road and advance here?”
“I think the same.”
“The best thing to do here is to force the enemy to siege, but as we all know, this is not a good fortress for large armies.”
The army of the Alliance, including Akan, was 180,000. It was small compared to the Empire, but it was quite a lot for those dispatched in a hurry.
And the fortress was too small to accommodate a large army of 180,000 and to be used as a battlefield.
“The good news is that our Majesty the King of Iasin is with us. I think we should take advantage of what we have.”
The environment called Iasin. The Union had the geography of the Iasians, but the Empire did not.
“this place.”
The Marquis of Heiran pointed to the plain not far from the fortress.
“I propose to reduce the number of Imperial forces as much as possible through guerrilla warfare, and to rotate here in the Kalan Plains.”
“The Imperial Knights and Cavalry are the best on the continent. Even if it’s not, it’s pushed by the troops themselves, so isn’t it unreasonable to rotate?”
“If they have the strongest knights, we have the strongest wizards.”
The empire is often referred to as the kingdom of knights. And Akan is said to be the land of wizards.
“In a wide-spread rotation, wizards boast as much destructive power as knights, or even more than knights.”
Although there is a limit of only until each other’s armies are completely entangled, what if we sweep as much as possible within it?
“I agree. I don’t think there’s a better way than that right now. That doesn’t mean Akan would spread the fire to his own territory, or his Majesty the Jasin would not want to leave his country completely.”

Marquis Dane, who was listening quietly, nodded.“Instead, there is a condition.”
“What?”
“A guerrilla force that will gnaw the Imperial Army. Our Hessians will be at the forefront of that.”
* * *
“Sir, why are you like this?”
After the meeting, Hesse’s commanders visited Marquis Dane’s room and questioned it.
“The Imperial Army is strong. There is no need for us to step forward and take the damage, right?”
“Do you think I am the victim?”

Marquis Dane grinned.“Do you have something in mind?”
“I kept thinking. How Lavinia Akan defeated the White Dragon Knights.”
It was most plausible to think that it was a lie at all, but there was clear evidence that it was not.
“Have you come to a conclusion?”
“One of three.”
The White Dragon Knights are far short of their reputation.
Or Lavinia Akan is stronger than I imagined.
“Or both.”
“that···.”
“It is true that Lavinia Akan is strong. Her power must be more than what her home country has grasped. But at the same time, the power of the White Dragon Knights is also far short of what is known. Otherwise, it cannot be explained.”
No matter how crazy Lavinia was, even if she was a princess who was crazy about chimera, even if she was an authority on chimera production, she was only a little over 30.
It didn’t make sense that such a person could receive the charge of the White Dragon Knights as it is famous for, and rather overcame it.
“···exactly.”
“What we need to pay attention to here is that the power of the White Dragon Knights is beyond our imagination. If Lavinia Akan did it, we can do it too.”
“It’s a chance to hit the ball.”
“That’s right.”

Marquis Dane nodded. Nevertheless, Count Angkal could not completely dispel his concerns.“Even so, isn’t it the White Dragon Knights?”
“Have you seen the White Dragon Knights use force recently?”
“I didn’t see it.”
“Then even rumors?”
“That too···.”
“So am I. do you know that The last time the White Dragon Knights acted 48 years ago, was the subjugation of Habstrain Gorge. 48 years ago.”
Although they are collectively referred to as the Imperial Dragon Knights, it was the Red Dragon and the Blue Dragon that were actually active and continued their journey until recently.
“Isn’t 48 years enough time for a generation to change? And the Empire has not caught up with its predecessors.”
“exactly···.”
“So it’s an opportunity for us. If Akan did it, we can do it too.”
It was a war sparked by the madness of the Empire. Although the capital of Jaasin was captured in a near-by surprise attack, the Marquis of Dane did not doubt that the coalition would eventually triumph.
No matter how strong the empire is, it cannot fight the entire continent and win.
And when you win, the things you can get after the war will be different depending on what kind of contribution you made in the war.
“Get it ready. Sortie out the best knights in the kingdom.”
“Yes!”
“War is always an opportunity. Is there any law that says that your home country cannot become an empire?”
“You are right.”
“If Akan has captured the White Dragon, we will have to catch the Black Dragon.”
Hessian inflated into a brilliant future.
* * *
“···why?”
Lavinia tilted her head.
“Why not?”
Lavinia swung her fist lightly. A wave of air swept around the impact.
“Fist, bang, done.”
“So that’s because only you can do it?”
Cain sighed. Lavinia shook her head resolutely.
“Erny.”
“If it’s Ernya, are you talking about Ernap Hilderan?”
“yes.”
“Yes, he is the Spirit King’s covenant…”
ha.
Cain shook his head. If I had to explain it for a hundred days, it was obvious that Ravinia Akan would not understand.
Because it’s ‘easy’ for others.
The genius who saw everything through his eyes wondered what others couldn’t do as well as he did.
And the gap between ordinary people and geniuses could never be filled.
“no?”
“no.”
“Silly?”
“I’m not stupid for not doing that. Please don’t go anywhere and say things like that.”
No, even if I did, I don’t understand it properly, so it doesn’t really matter.
“But how do you know him?”
There would be no connection whatsoever.
“well.”
“Yes, if you don’t want to tell me, I won’t.”
Cain changed the subject.
“Anyway, it’s a big deal. The morale I had raised thanks to you has dropped again.”
Hessen’s strongest knights, who went out to intercept the empire, met the black dragon and ate it as it was.
Unlike the White Dragon Knights, it was a definite annihilation.
