098. Reina Sordain’s Determination
The Sordein family is one of the most prestigious families in the demon world.
In the Demon Realm, where power is the top priority, keeping a family name by taking one place from generation to generation means that you have great power and power.
Reina Sordain is a direct lineage of such a family.
I don’t know why she came to the goddamn dimension called Arain, but it was a natural procedure for countless demons from countless families to follow her.
Basically, Jason is the one who adapts best to Arain and has survived the longest, but if you look at the proportion and quality of the high-ranking demons, there will be no demons that can follow Reina.
In other words, it is actually Reina Sordein who has the most powerful army among all the Demon Kings of Alain.
Of course, it will depend on how you do it in the future, but for now it was.
But humans don’t know that.
Reina Sordain had been silent for a long time, and there was plenty of room for mistaking it for her weakness.
I’m just sticking to the standard.
“Let’s talk right from the beginning.”
“···Yes. We met Gillian Eind here.”
* * *
The day when Hillen Cargill and Gillian Eint faced each other a little bit back in time.
“Nice to meet you.”
“Thank you for responding to my help!”
Gillian Eind was a typical barbarian. He hugged Hillen Cargill with his gigantic stature.
“Oh, is this rude?”
“it’s okay. Please feel free to treat me.”
“Then do it!”
The bare skin exposed through the fur was all muscle. And as if representing the life he lived, he was full of all kinds of scars.
“It was very disappointing when Princess Jessica turned down the request. But Hillen, how happy I was when I said that I would introduce you to you!”
Gillian Eint was a man with a bit of a harsh tone, but no pretense. His gray eyes twinkled like a child.
“I want to know exactly what you are drawing.”
“of course! Of course, we have to talk as an ally.”
“Captain, I don’t think this is what we are talking about here.”
“Look at my mind. I’m sorry for this again.”
Gillian let out an awkward laugh at the commander’s bruise. He led the red hawk to the inn where the whole annex was rented.
“Did you have a hard time coming here? Let me relieve your addiction a little.”
After allocating a room to the crew, I had a separate seat with Hillen Cargill and Granada.
“I, we will turn the Tower of Frigidity into a hunting ground.”
His grand plan was, at first glance, an absurd delusion.
‘Are you going to control the Demon King?’
The Demon King is powerful.
No matter how many warriors
No matter how far humans have the upper hand.
That fact does not change.
‘Of course, it’s not because the demon lord is absolute, so I haven’t left him alone…’
It was an understatement to say that I left it alone, but it wasn’t completely wrong.
In the eyes of Hillen Cargill, the Demon King was a necessary evil.
‘The Heroes’ Guild doesn’t want the Demon King to disappear.’
Because of the existence of the Demon King, humans needed a hero and were able to have the power they have today.
To the nations, the Demon King was like an obstacle that was annoying but could not be easily touched.
I don’t know if that will happen, but if the kingdoms such as Jespine, Akan, and Hilderan, which Hilan Cargill considers to be great powers, poured everything into them, they had enough power to erase one or two Towers of the Demon King.
But what’s next? Those who lost everything were also highly likely to face the same fate as the Demon King’s Tower.
He thought that the Tower of the Demon King was the biggest reason the warriors were living their lives.
Of course, this is his personal opinion and there are other complex reasons, but even taking that into account, it seemed crazy to make and control the Demon King’s Tower as a hunting ground.
“Do you think that would be possible?”
“Then I will try.”
“The opponent is the Demon King.”
“We are warriors. It would be impossible if it was just me and the white eagle, but ten tribes joined forces and now we have you and the red hawk.”
“But if the Demon King and higher-ranking demons come forward…”
“The Demon Lord does not move from the top of the tower. Don’t you know?”
“·················ogue.”
Hillen Cargill couldn’t answer that.
Of course, that was the common sense he knew. Before I met Berge.
“Why?”
“···of course.”
‘Berge is unique. The other demon lords have never left the top of the tower until now, except when they kidnapped the royal family.’
So no need to worry.
“And if you subdue the Demon King’s Tower once, it will weaken after that. It takes time to get back to the original level.”
I didn’t know the exact reason. However, it was the ecosystem of the tower that everyone knew.
“There’s nothing fancy about making it into a hunting ground. We just keep climbing up to the level we can handle.”
That’s how it slowly gnaws at the Demon King. And later on, even if the Demon King wants to do something, he won’t be able to.
“Of course, the Demon King will not do anything.”
The tower is organic. Even if it’s late, if you notice Gillian Eint’s intentions, the Demon King will do something.
“I need you to block that variable. If I had done it alone in the first place, it would only end on the lower floor, but together, we could go up to a higher floor.”
“·················ogue.”
Hillen was worried.
And little by little, I began to be enamored with the seemingly hidden possibility.
‘What if I could really do it?’
It’s not completely impossible. The premise that the Demon King must remain still is necessary, but Berger was the only Demon King who did not remain still in the first place.
Berger was unusual, that was the general Demon King.
‘And even if a variable does happen…’
There was Gillian Eind, and he was confident.
There were white eagles, red hawks, and over a thousand barbarians.
‘If this succeeds…’
Even the Demon King can put it under his feet. The names of the heroes who succeeded in that, their fame will rise further.
Even being able to hunt the monsters in the tower more easily was a great advantage that allowed him to grow much faster than other warriors.
And later….
‘If even the demon king of the cold is killed…?’
The one who defeated the three demon kings.
Hillen Cargill can be a great man like never before.
Gumi pulled.
But there was something to point out.
“I heard that a tribe was destroyed because of the monsters’ movements. Isn’t it the devil’s work?”
“I think it will.”
“Then, isn’t the premise of ‘doing nothing’ wrong?”
“So I need your help. No matter what the demon king uses, there is a limit in the end. With you, I can push that bitch to the limit. All variables can be eliminated.”
“… well.”
Hillen groaned with a troubled expression on her face. But his head was spinning taut.
‘I am a great warrior who killed two demon kings.’
Although it is said that there was help from the Demon King, it is a collaboration with other heroes, but that fact is not very important.
It is important that the power of the two demon kings resided in him, and he is learning it as his own as the days go by.
It took a while for Berge’s vague words, but he was confident that he would be able to overcome even the slightest danger with his own strength.
“…Is it really possible?”
“of course. I am a warrior from the snowy field. I spent my whole life here and fought here even after becoming a hero. Among the warriors, there is probably no one who knows more about the snowy field and the frigid cold than I do.”
“···good.”
Hillen Cargill nodded.
“Thought well.”
The two warriors held each other’s hands.
* * *
“It seemed to be going well so far.”
“Anything seems perfect if you just listen to the plan.”
“Yes, that’s right. Anyway, the northern tribes were in a state of fierce fighting spirit. It was because he thought that his people had suffered from the frigid demon king. One thousand and five hundred barbarians gathered in that way, white eagles, red hawks, and even the warriors who came to put their forks after hearing the fame of Gillian Eind and Hillen Cargill.”
“It’s safe to say that it’s just a troop of warriors.”
“It was a little weak, but honestly.”
Compared to the warriors who headed for the Tower of the Beast, it was far from enough, but it was comparable to Hillen Cargill’s bravery who was looking for the Tower of Chlorination.
‘the problem is···.’
Reina Sordain was ahead of Berge in every way. power, as well as personal power.
That was the price of the decades she spent in Arain.
“So what happened?”
The results were already known. However, I’m just curious about the process.
“We were fully prepared and headed to the Tower of the Cold.”
“It was hard to see the monsters in the snowy field that day. I should have been a little skeptical there, but we said to ourselves that it was just that even the monsters in our group were frightened.”
It is natural to get drunk on the atmosphere. It was only natural for him to feel confident as he had two great warriors and a huge army together.
“We reached the tower of extreme cold over two weeks. A tower could be seen in the distance, and the blizzard was terrible that day.”
The movement itself was not easy. The white eagles and barbarians who were accustomed to the snowy field were okay, but the unfamiliar red hawk was a complete torment.
“I got close to the tower and made the last line in a short distance. And Gillian Eind gave a light speech.”
Today is a turning point in history. It’s time for the barbarians to become great.
He boosted morale with all sorts of miscellaneous rhetoric. The barbarians shouted.
And that moment.
“As if in response, the door to the tower opened.”
Granada shuddered thinly as she remembered that time.
“It was the old demons who took the lead. Those who have proven that old peppers are spicy.”
“Isn’t that a little pepper?”
“Shh.”
“They were high-level demons.”
I kind of guessed who it was. They must have been the old men behind Reina.
“After that, many demons.”
“Once again, there were more monsters behind.”
‘Did you send out all the power of the tower?’
It is also a blind spot of the standard. If it wasn’t a tower, there was no need to meet the heroes with weak power in the beginning.
“We were perplexed.”
Every plan that Gillian Eind made required one premise.
The premise is that weak monsters are placed on the lower floors of the tower, and the higher you go, the higher the level.
It was unexpected for the demons and demons to open the door of the tower and run out first.
Even if there was no Demon King, it was impossible to guarantee victory or defeat.
“Realing that something was wrong, Gillian Eint ordered a retreat. However···.”
“However?”
“Thousands of monsters hiding in the snow appeared, forming sieges and blocking their escape routes.”
“Thousands of monsters…?”
Demons and demons are different. Also, monsters and monsters are different.
Unlike monsters, which are the life of the demon realm, monsters are people who live in this world. Even though they are descendants of the monsters scattered by the Demon Realm long ago, they have completely adapted and degenerated and have completely become a part of this world.
The traces of monsters that remain deep inside the body have an instinctive reverence for demons, but they cannot be manipulated as easily as demons.
Unlike monsters that know their role and are loyal to them as soon as they are summoned, monsters must be directly controlled and brought into the family.
‘Reina Sordain….’
Thousands of monsters are never achieved overnight. There will be many areas where they live.
I wanted to stay in the snowy field and do nothing, but were you making the snowy field your own territory?
It was a very standard move.
Berge shook his head, pondering whether he should be amazed at how much power he had created, or whether it was foolish to say that he had been driven into a corner by playing with a white eagle before his return.
‘It’s a great thing right now.’
She was just waiting for her time.
“therefore?”
“I got out of the siege with Hillen Cargill. But in the end, I had no choice but to fall into the crowd of monsters.”
“Are you dead?”
“I don’t think so.”
Berger also agreed with Granada’s opinion.
‘Healan Cargill would not have died easily.’
If it was that easy for him to eat the two demon lords, he wouldn’t have been able to become a star in the first place.
‘The important thing is how is the situation in Snowfield right now.’
If you enter blindly, there is a high possibility that you will be hit by monsters and also by the Imperial Army.
‘Should I contact Reina?’
Communication between demon lords was impossible without using the tower’s communication. However, Reina gave him a separate personal communication channel.
‘It’s as certain as floating directly…’
How much less must she have a crush on Berge now. Thanks to more than just a cooperative relationship, the white eagle’s efforts were more easily blocked.
That was then.
woo woo-
Berge trembled in surprise.
It was a communicator.
The one he wanted to use first, Reina Sordain.
“Go out and summon the spirits.”
“yes.”
Ernian and Granada went out. Ernap summoned a spirit and made him move around the room.
“Isn’t it more conspicuous? Shouldn’t Ernyan-sama’s identity be revealed?”
It was natural for the warriors to flock to the snowy field. In the northern fortress city, there were many warriors who had gathered to head for the snowfield.
In order to communicate with Reina, Berger had to be in the form of a demon king, and there could be someone who penetrated the demon king’s hideout and detected the demon as there were many heroes.
The spirits were a great way to hide the magic.
“There is Granada-sama.”
“I was an elf. If anyone comes, cover your face immediately.”
“yes.”

Meanwhile, Berge, who was left alone in the room, injected magic into the communication area.“What’s going on?”
Reina’s face flashed.
“You were right.”
“I don’t have a clue.”
“Thanks to you, I was able to know in advance the white eagle’s work and deal with it.”
“I want to say thank you.”
“Ah, that was the story. I heard that the red hawk also joined the white eagle, but it must have been a victory.”
“It is thanks to you. I will repay this favor someday.”
“I was just warning you.”
“That warning changed her behavior. The process has changed and the outcome has changed.”
“Are they all dead?”
“It is not. Certainly, those whom humans exalt as stars, even higher-level demons cannot easily guarantee victory.”
“Even though they were wounded, they escaped through the siege.”
“Right. What are you going to do next?”
“I’m going to show you an example.”
“example?”
“I stayed as quiet as possible so as not to provoke the empire, but it would be a different story if I touched my real woman in the first place like this.”
“I think we need to set an example for humans so that we don’t do the trick again.”
“That the real woman is not standing still because they are afraid of humans.”
“The Empire will not stand still.”
“You seem to have changed quite a bit from when you first came. In the past, I would have told them to just smash people and destroy them.”
“I never did.”
“I just thought it would be the case if you insulted the standard.”
Reina smiled faintly.
“And don’t worry. It seems like a lot of humans have died right now, but that’s not true.”
She was furious, but calmly planned her future.
“Perhaps by now the survivors are returning to the Empire one by one. That is the end of their sins.”
“Did you release the siege?”
“okay. Right now, I don’t have the strength to see the end with Jessine, so I have no choice but to put up with it.”
However.
Reina’s eyes went cold.
“One is the exception.”
“one person?”
“I think it’s good to have someone who can represent humans as an example.”
“Strong.”
“I have a reputation.”
“A person that humans consider to be quite hopeful.”
“It would be a star.”
“Gillian Eind and Hillen Cargill. Which of them are you?”
Berge swallowed dry saliva. I begged her to say the former.
However.
“It’s Hillen Cargill.”
The great First Demon Emperor once again abandoned him.
“The cheeky human who killed the two demon kings shouldn’t exist in this world.”
“It’s a good opportunity.”
Fuck.
A hand hidden under the desk clenched a fist.

Poor guy. He paid for his arrogance with his life.
