39 – I have no choice but to fill it with my body…
It was late, and most of the troops except for the guards had fallen asleep. Now I was sitting in the barracks and staying up all night.
Fortunately, not sleeping for a day or two after becoming a warrior wasn’t a big problem,
But that didn’t mean I could completely ignore the feeling of fatigue.
Even at this moment, the thought of wanting to lie down right now, if I could, was endlessly circling in my head.
However,
Even so, I was in no position to go to bed.
I tried to suck honey in moderation by quietly getting stuck in the middle of the army, but somehow I became the vanguard.
And this lightning-like situation had the result of making me stay up all night semi-forcibly like now.
‘f*ck… Somehow, in a situation like this, I… ‘
If I was going to be the vanguard by myself, I wouldn’t have to worry so much.

My combat power as a warrior who could defeat even the demon king was by no means a decoration, and I was the present me who was faithfully equipped with the equipment.
It was possible to lightly ignore the flying magic bombardment and arrow rain, and it was also possible to jump up on the wall and slaughter the enemies.
A situation where it is possible to literally jump into the middle of enemy lines and take a picture of an incomparable person.
However, apart from these personal powerlessness, the problem I am facing.
that…
Behind me, the 100 Demons who were assigned as my direct subordinates would inevitably follow along.
It was never a large number, but troops that could not be said to be small.
If they were to be annihilated or suffer great damage, no matter how many enemies I killed as a human warrior, there was a risk that the evaluation of me would be drastically reduced due to the reason for recklessly sacrificing my own people.
‘To be honest, I just want to keep it in the camp, but… If that’s the case, if you don’t use the troops you’ve received, that’ll be a problem again…’
No matter what the inside story was, as long as it was a military force that was given out as a favor, if it was left alone, they could have been criticized for ignoring their favor.
You can use it so easily, but you can’t let it go
The 100 demons who have literally become like savages
In the end, there was only one conclusion I could draw in this situation where there was so much ambiguity between this and that.
‘I have no choice but to fill it with my body… ‘
I don’t know if it’s a normal warrior,
In fact, it was possible for me to fight while protecting allied demons, if it was the current me who could be said to be the strongest in the world.
As a bonus, the abilities I possess as a hero were not limited to me alone.
Now, I also have quite a few so-called ‘buff’ skills that I talk about in the game.
Some of them included a few that could be used not only by me alone, but also by allies around me.
Of course, that didn’t mean that the power of the buffed demons increased exponentially, but at least there was no chance of them dying from blind arrows.
However, if this happens, I have to calculate the appropriate skill timing to minimize the damage to my allies, block attacks that cannot be covered properly, and in the meantime, I must show the appearance of intercepting the enemies in a timely manner.
There was a very strong possibility of a battle that would literally take your breath away and be hectic and hectic, and in this regard, thorough preparation like now was absolutely necessary.
But,
Despite these difficulties, at this moment, I did not stop trying to make a plan as perfect as possible.
For personal gain and survival…
and,

More than that.
To do my due duty to the fact that other people’s lives are in my hands.
‘If I’m careful, dozens of people could end up dying with one of my judgments. In order to prevent that from happening…’

Morning with clear blue sky.
under it,
The total of nearly 30,000 lives, both enemies and allies, were lined up in formation with weapons in their hands to kill each other at this moment.
20,000 demons preparing to attack outside the castle.
And, 7,000 tribal alliance soldiers who are doing their best to prevent this from inside the castle.
Thus, the armies of both sides began to feel intense tension in the atmosphere that was getting more and more heightened in anticipation of the upcoming bloodbath.
and…
“All troops advance! Wipe out all those weak humans!”
The one who definitely cut off this tense atmosphere was Samson, who is in charge of the commander-in-chief of the army as well as the commander of the legion of demons.
“Wowaaaa!!!”
“Advance!”
“Recover Antioch!”
“Death to the dogs of the Tribal Alliance!”
Asmodian soldiers begin to advance without hesitation according to Samson’s command.

Meanwhile,
Watching them rushing like a wave, Parisek, who was on top of the Antioch fortress, watched the battlefield with cold eyes.
“Who is the vanguard of the enemy? Can you find out?”
“Sorry, I honestly don’t know.”
A Parisect who asks a question to one of the soldiers who has exceptionally bright eyesight.
However, the soldier answered his question with a puzzled look on his face, and Parisekt felt a bit suspicious about this and asked him.
“Why? Haven’t you ever been unable to recognize the vanguard from this distance?”
“Yes, it is. However… I really don’t know. I’ve never seen that general in the forefront, a man with a suit like that and a weapon like that.”
A figure of a warrior holding a greatsword while covering his whole body with black armor.
Right behind him, about 100 demons, who seemed to be his direct subordinates, were following, but even through this, the soldier failed to find out who the enemy’s vanguard was.
The vanguard of the enemies who are considered to be newcomers to the situation.
And in response to this, Parisekt, who was preparing for a difficult battle, began to feel a slight sense of relief as it was.
‘Fortunately, he’s not a famous general like Samson. The fact that those like buffaloes didn’t come out as the vanguard might be the key to winning.’
If the enemy’s vanguard could be handled lightly, the momentum of the enemies could also be easily broken.
In that respect, the fact that the enemy’s spearhead was a rookie who did not know where it came from was a very positive thing for Parisect.
‘If you’re a guy with little to no war experience, it’s bound to be easy for you to fall into a panic. Then the enemies will collapse by themselves.’
At the same time as making that decision, Parisect immediately gave orders to the soldiers as commander-in-chief.
“Start the attack! Drop those filthy demons into hell!”
Parisect’s command finally fell
Accordingly, the soldiers immediately launched a prepared attack toward the demons running in front of their eyes.
“launch!”
The target is, of course, the vanguard of the enemy running from the front.
Countless arrows fired from the castle began to fly towards them almost exactly.
The downpour of death, reminiscent of raindrops.
The rain of sharp arrows, made of steel and imbued with magical power, would hit the enemy’s vanguard and inflict serious damage.
By the way…
“yes?”
“what?”
At one point, the scene began to come into the eyes of the Antioch soldiers.
In spite of the distance
At this moment, in their eyes, the appearance of the black energy standing on the sword of the one who showed the vanguard was clearly visible.
An unknown sense of intimidation felt despite being this far away.
While exuding such a menacing look, the vanguard brandished his greatsword at the rain of arrows flying towards them.
OK…
– Phat!
A black flash flashed for a moment.
The blow that spread with such force as if it would split the sky hit the rain of arrows that were pouring down on the demons.
“Muh.. what..?”
“Uh.. how could that… ”
A blow that erases countless stems of death in an instant.
At that shocking scene, the soldiers of Antioch…
And their leader, Parisek,
I started to feel seized with the feeling that my whole body was frozen momentarily.
The shock that the attack, which I thought would be eaten, was annihilated in vain.
It loaded a heavy fear into their minds, which began to paralyze the reason that enabled them to react quickly.
But…
“Kuh! Calm down everyone! If your arrows don’t work, prepare your magic! As soon as they come within range, we fire them!”
“Ah… b… yes!”
“I see, General!”
The soldiers who managed to recover their spirits from Parisect’s Ilgal and prepare to attack again.
Even though the magic corps, led by wizards and priests, couldn’t completely escape the shock caused by the scene just before, they forcibly moved their bodies and began to prepare magic.
A colorful magic circle drawn in front of their hands,
fire and ice. Orbs made of wind and divine power.
Although the range was shorter than that of an arrow, it contained tremendous firepower that was incomparable to that of an arrow.
“launch!”
Along with Parisect’s command, the magic poured out straight ahead.
And at this moment, although not specifically mentioned in this regard,
The target of these countless magic attacks is the vanguard who just knocked out the arrows.
There was only one person.
A focused attack triggered by fear of the target.
Their instinctive fear of getting rid of it as soon as possible made them unleash an attack that could annihilate dozens or even hundreds of people in just one single person.
By the way…
“!!”
“What.. what is it?”
The vanguard jumps up into the sky and runs towards the magic flying towards him.
At this incomprehensible action, the faces of the soldiers in Antioch began to be seized with doubts and an unknown sense of coercion.
Instead of avoiding the flying magic bombardment, he rather rushed towards it, an act that anyone could call crazy.
But..
In an instant, a word popped into their heads.
‘no way… ‘
An accident caused by the impact of a previously seen scene.
and…
As if responding to their thoughts, the vanguard swung the sword he was holding and swung it at the magic flying towards him.
OK…
-Quaguaguagwang!!!!
A loud explosion sounded in an instant.
Immediately after that, the eyes of the soldiers began to see the black armored monster that came down to the ground again without a single wound and continued to take its terrifying steps towards this direction.
A scene incomparable to the black flash that hit the arrows earlier
This gave the soldiers a chilly sensation as if cold daggers were being stabbed in their chests.
A single man neutralizing an artillery barrage that could do significant damage to an army unit.
As a result, the soldiers instantly felt their hearts shrink, and at the same time, they automatically began to recall one fact.
“I… I hope that… ”
“ah… No, no doubt. Although the color of the armor is different… that’s obviously… ”
A scene that will never disappear from the minds of those who have fought countless wars so far.
The only being who can show such power just by swinging a sword…
They only knew one person.
“mind… Devil… ?”
