081. If you want to see it once
The snow fell. It was snowing.
The sagging feet made it difficult to move. The fierce wind was like a blade that freezes everything.
On that cold ground, Gillian Eint left his mark.
Whoa-
A white breath blew out.
Kung KKKKKKKKKKKKKK-
The dogs pulling the sled stopped walking. At the end of their fierce howl, the ice trolls were full of prey.
Gillian raised his axe. There was a smile on his lips and greed in his eyes.
“It’s money! Be careful not to injure the blood!”
“Yes!”
The white repair raid roared. He grabbed his weapon and rushed.
quaw-
A monster and a human collided. Ironically, the winner was a human.
The trolls screamed. Bloody blood and splintered flesh were scattered everywhere.
“Ah ha ha ha ha!”
Gillian took the lead. Swinging a giant ax like a windmill, he decapitated the troll. Red blood stained the pure white eyes.
A bright red aura that destroys everything blended with blood.
chuck-
The fifteen ice trolls turned into corpses, or even money, in an instant. He put the ax back on his back.
“Put them all on the sled, leaving nothing left. Don’t spill a drop of blood! If you spill it, your blood will be replaced, so you know!”
“Our blood doesn’t make money!”
“Instead, the captain will feel better.”
“Khahahaha!”
The corpses piled up on the sled. In return, I had to walk, but no one complained.
They continued walking on the snowy field. The monsters that popped out from time to time further increased the weight of the sled.
“I see the Blue Rock tribe!”
“Finally arrived!”
Gillian whistled. As I got closer to the tribe, I saw people who had come to meet me in advance.
“Come on.”
“Thank you for the hospitality, Chief.”
“I have prepared a banquet. come in.”
“thank you.”
A festival was held with all members of the tribe. They caught the livestock of the snowy tribes, seolyang, and roasted meat. Drinks made from sheep’s milk were placed in front of everyone.
“For the eternal unity of the White Wuri raid and the Blue Rock clan!”
“for!”
The banquet went on all night. The white repair raid and the clan members were in harmony.
Gillian, drunkenly, held out a bottle of wine to the chieftain.
“Chief, I’ll pour you a cup.”
“Thank you.”
clink-
Gillian whispered, exchanging one drink at a time.
“You made a good choice.”
“…I still don’t know. Did I make the right choice?”
“Of course it is the right choice. Don’t you know better than anyone? There’s nothing to live on in this damned snowfield. The environment is like a beggar, and the monsters are pouring out day by day. But for us to go south for a better land, those damn Empire bastards are burning their eyes and stopping them.”
“That’s right, but…”
“You can fight to death and freeze to death in the cold, but at least you must not starve to death, right? The chieftain, the clan members, the future clan members.”
“Hmm, that’s right.”
However.
The chief hesitated.
“The opponent is the Demon King.”
“Don’t you know? In the old days, even in the early days when the demon king descended, the present demon king is by no means an absolute existence. Of course, I believe that even that was a fear from the unknown.”
“But it cannot be denied that we are strong. Do you think we can control her?”
“It’s not something we control. You fall into your own swamp.”
I did a lot of preparation while planning this job. Gillian could be confident that he knew better than anyone about the tower of the cold and the demon king of the cold.
“First, the demon king does not leave the tower.”
There was an exception for kidnapping the royal family, but it wasn’t for battle.
“Second, it doesn’t even come down from the top of the tower.”
“I know that. But if the Demon King knew about your plans, would you still keep the principles?”
“I keep it. It’s a standard, not a rule.”
Because he had dealt with many demons, he was well aware of their frenzied obsession. It was a belief that had to be kept unconditionally.
“However···.”
“Of course, we’ll get a different number. That’s why we need the help of several tribes. to be prepared for any contingency. I also hope that the tribes in my hometown will at least not starve to death.”
“… at a point where we have already decided to participate, what can we say? I just have to trust you.”
“Yes. I will never let you down. The Demon King of the Cold Winter will become the owner of the farm that supplies monsters for us.”
“Take another drink.”
The drinking party deepened.

“I will use the barbarian tribes of the snowy field…”
I had never seen Gillian Eint in person. However, from the top of the tower, I watched him and the White Suri raid members break into the tower.
With a height of over 2m, muscles harder than most metals, and a violent red aura. He was a Northern Barbarian, himself.
If they and the barbies of the snowy field joined together, it was not easy to see Reina either.
“My lord. The Gillian Eind and the White Eagle raid are heading into the realm of the Blue Rock tribe.”
“Also, I have already made contact with several other tribes.”
Lieutenant, Nina came in with papers.
“Berge was right.”
Reina Sordain was not interested in the external or continental situation, or the interests of each country.
However, on the contrary, he was exerting an overwhelming influence within his domain, the snowfield.
For a long time, the monsters in the snowy field were brought into the family, and the frost demons were released to manage them.
The entire snowfield could not be said to be her domain. But it was true that she could not completely escape from her influence.
Thanks to this, the movement of the white eagle caught her eye.
He probably didn’t know that the monsters could watch over them.
“Nine tribes even sympathized with the Blue Rock…. If all these warriors go out, how many?”
“Over 1200.”
“A lot.”
The northern tribes that make up the snowfield were all barbarians, not humans.
He has an inherently superior body and has excellent sensitivity to Aurors. Each one of them is a natural warrior. It was a power that could never be ignored.
“If Gillian Eint and White Suri join together, it can be quite dangerous.”
“My wife does not lose to that level.”
“But he didn’t seem willing to make it to the top.”
Yeah, that’s the problem.
I’d rather just kill her if they came up to kill her.
“But that doesn’t mean there isn’t a way.”
If you want to gather forces and see the liver, destroying those forces is enough.
“Until now, you have shown mercy.”
I didn’t bother to provoke humans by listening to Jason’s advice.
It was for that reason that they stood by the northern tribes. This is because the barbarians, who protect the northern part of the Jespine Empire and deal with monsters coming from the snow, are watching with interest even within the empire.
But if you cross the line first.
“Maybe I can show you an example.”
“Who would you like to entrust to?”
“Tell it to Prince Armand.”
where would be good
“The goal is here. The next day the white eagle escaped the tribe.”
Reina pointed to one side of the map in the snowy field. It was presumed to be the place where the white eagle raid is currently staying, it was the Blue Rock tribe.
“Tell them to show them clearly what the cost of betraying her mother’s mercy in the first place.”
“I take orders.”
Reina radiated a soft life. Nina bowed her head.
* * *
By the time the northern snowfields were looking for blood, the snow-capped mountains were losing their tension.
“…when are you coming?”
Ham.
Berger yawned loosely.
『…still being prepared.』
Granada’s report was not very pleasing.
Cannons have already been placed in good places for avalanches. It was also prepared to lure some monsters by identifying the area of activity and residence.
But even after two weeks had passed, they didn’t even think about moving.
“How long did they plan to prepare for the replacement?”
“I am extremely wary of the Demon Lord.”
“why?”
Externally, Berger did not show anything directly.
Although they did block Hillen Cargill’s troop, it was known that they killed themselves in front of a mountain range called Erzestra.
Because they finally announced that they couldn’t find the tower.
“···that. Excuse me.”
After hesitating for a while, Granada confessed everything. In conclusion, because of them, their vigilance was extremely raised.
“What else do I say? If you don’t tell me that much, you’ll get suspicious.”
Deliberately going round and round became impossible, but it was better than being suspicious of Granada.
He adequately gave me minimal information that would not harm him.
Even so, what they inferred closer to the correct answer is that their brains are that good.
“thank you.”
“Then it will eventually come. If you’re going to be scared, you’d better stop thinking about coming up at all.”
Contrary to not climbing the mountain, all kinds of magical equipment are being added at Horton Walk. From what I’ve heard, the number of chimeras called Demon Dogs is also increasing one by one, so it was only a matter of time to climb in the end.
“Yes that’s right.”
“It’s like having a bomb next to you that you never know when it will explode.”
I didn’t like it. Especially the part where you have to be anxious while waiting for them passively.
At that time, Granada was cautiously rhyming.
“Me and the Demon King. I have something to tell you.”
“Tell me.”
“Didn’t the Demon Lord defeat the Demon Lord of the Beasts with Roselle Charter in Tarta?”
“It did.”
“It was me and Hillen Cargill together.”
『And Roselle Chartres was a warrior supported by Akan.』
“Don’t go round and round, just say the main point.”
“Yes. They asked me how the Demon King was doing. First of all, I said that I was doing well, but please tell me that I want to see you again.”
“me?”
Are these crazy?
The prince and princess want to see the Demon King?
No, no. Conceptually, this is not possible.
“Are you referring to me as a Fail, not me as the Demon Lord?”
“Yes.”
“why?”
『Roselle Charter seems to have witnessed the Demon Lord’s mana that he took. In the process, it seems that the story of the Demon Lord was transmitted through Roselle Chartres and the Red Chloride Raid.”
“…that’s how it goes?”
“Yes. An unexpected harvest was also obtained. It is said that Roselle Chartres has been confined to the laboratory and has been studying the Demon Lord’s mana for several days.
“It was somewhat expected.”
The obsession and madness he had shown to Berge was never light. The wizard’s inquisitive spirit aroused curiosity about Phoenix’s mana, so it was natural to try this and that.
The question is, what do you get out of that research?
‘When Roselle Charter gets stronger, it gets in trouble.’
This is the year he lived and burned demons from before the return to the end.
‘I need to find out how the research is going. And the Kingdom of Akan….’
“The Demon King?”
At the voice of Granada, Berge got out of thought.
“…what did you say?”
“In particular, Lavinia Arkan said that he was very interested.”
“Lavinia….”
Before the return, Berger was the first to kidnap the prince. Her room is still haunting.
‘If you get involved, it hurts your head. It’s better not to get involved.’
That’s common sense. However, the core of Akan’s power this time is Lavinia.
If it wasn’t for her, if it wasn’t for the demon dog she created, frankly, there was no need to worry so much.
‘Is the chimera the remaining necessary evil to counteract us?’
fact I didn’t know. I thought it was just crazy people wanting to make it.
‘I don’t want to get involved with Lavinia Akan…’
But if you are a Demon Lord, there are things you have to do even if you don’t want to do it sometimes.
“Granada.”
“Yes, Demon Lord.”
“Tell me you’re going.”
“···Yes?”
“If you want to see it, you have to see it.”
I needed to know a little bit about Lavinia Akan and the chimera she made.
