Underground reminiscent of a cave.
Among them, Yosef Kachin, the king of the river demons who looked down from a high place, could not calm down his excitement.
It was because he did not know that he could drive the kingdom army this way.
‘This is possible.’
At the time of raising the level, I felt a little suspicious.
It’ll be better than before, but I wondered if I could really threaten the kingdom army with this.
In fact, the results were very satisfactory.
In fact, it was a situation where the siege was destroyed and the retreat was given… … .
It was also the joy he felt because he had been secretly afraid of the kingdom, including the first battle.
“Is this the gathering of all the civilians in the Duhor area?”
“Yes, Your Majesty.”
In the expansive space he looked down on, there were civilians held captive with their mouths shut.
I couldn’t guess the exact number, but it was enough to fill this large space… … .
It just felt like there was a lot of it to the point of being unpleasant.
“Eup, up… … .”
There was fear in the eyes of the captive Yangmin.
Suspected of an infectious disease out of nowhere, he was dragged to quarantine, and he is tied up in an unknown place like this.
I heard that the whereabouts of people from other regions became unknown a while ago… … .
I was sure that they were going through the same situation as them.
“Run.”
Jiying.
Spells emerged around the place where the civilians were imprisoned.
They felt visceral fear and crisis, but they couldn’t do anything because they were tied up.
“Eup, up… … !”
A strange pressure spread through her body, followed by the sensation of something exploding.
It manifested simultaneously and took away the consciousness of the people who were trembling in fear at the same time.
The sight of people’s lives being cut off all at once unfolded, filling the vast space.
The believers who carried out this moved the corpse with familiar gestures as if nothing had happened.
“It’s a little disappointing, originally, we should maximize fear by thinking about efficiency.”
It was the calm voice of Havchen who was watching this.
Chef Yosef’s aides who were there responded with a proud smile.
“ha ha ha! Even the archbishop is surprised by the great king’s big heart.”
“It has to be, because he told me not to spend time on such things and to use more sacrifices.”
At the words of his aides, Chef Yo raised a corner of his mouth.
Bernant, who was next to him, also helped out.
“As expected, the Great King has the qualities of a person who stands on top. You have to know how to sacrifice a cow for the sake of the generations.”
“When Prince Bernant says that, I feel the strain on my shoulders for no reason.”
“I also have a younger sister who lacks the qualities of a monarch.”
Chef Joseph told Havzen, not hiding a pleasant smile.
“Don’t worry about sacrifices, just focus on drawing out your strength. There are plenty of good people.”
“It’s nothing but reassuring, majesty.”
As Chef Yosef said, preparing the sacrifice was not without burden.
The driving force of a nation comes from the members who support the nation after all… … .
Although the standard required by the Resurrection Church was to the extent that it had to be sacrificed beyond the northern region to the eastern region.
Chef Joseph accepted this.
It was from the thought that there would be no problem if he could take that much damage and eat the kingdom.
All of his aides who opposed were sent to prison, so there was no one to stop Yosef.
“Then do your best, Archbishop. Don’t worry, people will continue to be procured.”
“Yes, I understand.”
That’s how Chef Yosef and his entourage leave.
Havchen went deep underground.
There was Sylvetted lying there as if he were dead.
He opened his eyes softly at Havchen’s appearance.
“Are you feeling well?”
“It’s not perfect, but it’s a lot better.”
After returning from fighting the Kingdom Army, Silver Ted was in a state where he could not control himself easily.
It was because he drew strength for a rather long time, but that alone had brought him to this point.
“I thought it would be fine as long as it didn’t use electricity, but that wasn’t the case either.”
“Thanks to you, I was able to get out safely.”
“I’m glad it wasn’t in vain.”
As a result, the number of sacrifices needed for Sylvetted’s recovery increased significantly.
Thanks to Chef Joseph’s generous support, I can cover it, but… … .
If he hadn’t deteriorated from the last battle, he would have been able to increase his strength.
“The situation got to this point because I looked down on him.”
“… … 2 Do you mean the prince?”
“exactly.”
Silvertedt sincerely thought so.
When the 2 princes returned to the battlefield and made the choice to confront them, they should have considered the number of such cases.
“You were too intoxicated with our plans. Kuekuk, I am still lacking.”
“… … I was also excited, so it’s not the archbishop’s fault.”
“How is the Kingdom Army now?”
“So far, there has been no movement whatsoever. The number of troops was about 50,000, as Bernant predicted.”
“Then you really have a chance.”
Silver Ted’s recovery and training of 7-star elite troops.
The Resurrection Church was aiming for this ceremony, and they thought that a head-on confrontation would be worthwhile if it had about 50,000 troops.
“Tomorrow the ceremony will take place. The sacrifices were roughly gathered, but considering your physical condition, this would be the best.”
“I agree.”
Some are to minimize the materials needed for Silverted’s recovery.
Even if the kingdom army moves from now on, it was a decision made because there was still time to spare until tomorrow.
“Then I will go.”
With that said, Havchen came out.
Then, while thinking for a while, I analyzed the current situation.
‘It’s a little tight, but I can hit the timing well enough.’
It took time to convert sacrifices into power.
Even more so, large-scale extraction like this time was added.
Still, I thought I could finish it before the kingdom army attacked.
‘A greedy incompetent person in power is helpful at times like this.’
This was possible thanks to Chef Yo, who procured many offerings quickly.
If the ritual was completed safely, it would be possible to penetrate the northern part of the kingdom and aim for the center.
“So everyone will have to manage without mistakes.”
“Yes, Mr. Havchen.”
“There is also Archbishop Tordin’s memory leak, so you can find this place. Never neglect your vigilance.”
“I will keep that in mind.”
Following Havchen’s instructions, the followers stood guard with sharp eyes.
The green-eyed rabbit stared at them silently from a corner, then left.

‘How do I do this… … .’
Immediately after receiving Morgan’s letter.
I tracked down people to investigate where the first fight was taking place.

Like his memory, if he raises his level in an incomprehensible way, he must be conscious of something.
Because I thought there must be a place for this.
However, it was not easy to find.
It’s because I couldn’t mobilize a lot of people because I couldn’t be caught by the enemy.
It was none other than Cheon-gak that solved this.
It is because he revealed his intention to come out out of nowhere and found a secret passage to the underground base.
That’s how I sent Cheon-Gak to look inside… … .
‘If their plans come true, the war will be prolonged.’
Silverted’s recovery and 7-star elite troops.
From nob le mt l dot com
Like the former, the latter was also a big problem.
It’s not exact, but it probably means a unit of dozens of people.
If it did, it would be a real headache.
Each elite captain-level talent forms a troop unit… … .
It was also a thought because I knew the killing squad of a large family at a similar level.
‘Above all, that’s not the end.’
From nob le mt l dot com
Looking at the state of the river demon king, it seemed that he would sacrifice his own people in order to win the war.
‘If I can’t stop that, I’ll have to consider using all of the power in the kingdom.’
It’s not that much of a power difference.
It was a decision made because if the war was prolonged, the sacrifice could continue to strengthen the troops.
‘With this, I can understand everything they’ve done so far.’
It was intended to sacrifice the corpses of the battlefield, so that’s how it moved.
It’s nice to know now, but… … .
I decided that it was not an issue that could be solved by rolling my head alone, so I gathered a few people and informed them of this fact.
“… … Low, is that true?”
“Yes, unfortunately.”
We didn’t call too many for fast delivery and confidentiality.
Several commanders of the main army, including Habram, and Kielus, the leader of the Blue Lions.
And only the core members of the Byeoldongdae were called.
Those who heard my story did not hide their astonishment.
“… … Hard to believe. No, I hate to believe it. How could he do that at the cost of human life… … .”
“The sudden strength of their forces is also explained by this.”
“The Resurrectionists, and the leaders of the Gangma Tribe who have joined hands with them, are people who shouldn’t exist in this world.”
While everyone was shaking their heads and spitting out their impressions.
Kielus, who had been listening silently, opened his mouth.
“By the way, Cruz.”
“Yes, Captain.”
“How did you know that information?”
Other than Leah and Alan, their eyes shone as if they sympathized with his question.
It was also for this reason that only a minimum number of people were called.
It’s better to exclude the number of cases where the Resurrection Church can detect the existence of the Celestial Spirit and Heaven’s Pavilion.
“Before you tell me, please promise me one thing.”
“Something?”
“At least until this war is over, from now on, I will keep quiet about what I will show you.”
“I promise.”
Others nodded as if agreeing with Kielus’ answer.
Confirming this, I activated the Heavenly Decree.
Gee-
A summoning circle appeared as light shone from the ring worn on the index finger.
Eventually, through this, Cheon Gak was summoned.
All the onlookers widened their eyes in disbelief.
“… … A return?”
“You are a wizard, but how… … .”
“It’s theoretically possible, but it’s the first time I’ve seen a wizard summon a phantom beast.”
“No, how can a phantom beast be so small and cute in the first place?”
While everyone was amazed, Leah naturally reached out to Cheon-Gak.
It was as if it was nice to see you after a long time.
swish
Cheon-gak evaded this with a natural gesture and climbed onto my shoulder.
At this, Leah was clearly disappointed, but she opened her mouth firmly.
“… … He is a phantom beast with better infiltration ability than me. You can also share what you see with degradation.”
“Huh… … This is an amazing ability.”
While everyone was convinced and surprised.
Praxia showed a different look from them.
It’s not like I’m curious or cute.
It was a long, worried look, as if thinking of something.
“Plexia?”
I called her and asked.
“… … It’s nothing, low.”
After answering this, I didn’t ask any more questions.
“If this power leaks out to the Resurrection Church, it could interfere with spying, so I guess I informed you secretly.”
“Yes, what is it?”
“I was convinced with this, but… … This is a problem from now on.”
“What do you think about breaking into their base right now?”
“I thought about that too, but it seems like it would be difficult.”
The underground passage found at the place where the first battle was fought was the way to their secret base.
It was like moving a lot to get to a hidden place.
Structurally, when I approached here, I had no choice but to get caught by them.
“Because we have an important ceremony ahead, and being conscious of older brother’s memories, we are very vigilant.”
There may be other avenues besides that.
I didn’t know, and I didn’t have enough time to find it.
“The preparations for the ceremony have been completed to some extent. It was just put off for efficiency.”
“It’s hard to stop a raid, but it’s better than not doing it… … Other than that, I can’t think of any sharp numbers.”
Everyone silently agreed with Kielus’ words.
I thought the same, so I didn’t add anything else.
kook, kook.
As if Cheon Gak had something to say, he pressed the sole of his foot on my shoulder.
“Kyuu, kyuu! Kwy, kwy!”
… … I couldn’t help but doubt my ears at Cheon-Gak’s words.
After reading my expression, Kielus asked.
“What did the phantom beast say?”
“… … It sounds like you might be in the way.”
“What do you mean?”
“The power they extracted through sacrifices.”
“… … !”
