93. victory. And Doyoon Han, the apostle.
+++
Upon the return of the heroes, the coalition’s military was turned upside down.
“Su, it’s a win! Against the corps commander! It’s a victory!!”
“I defeated the corps commander!!”
Everyone in the conference room shouted in excitement, and even though the war was still underway, the brilliant military band and generals welcomed their return.
strongest enemy. The most evil existence. Subdued the corps commander.
This was a long-standing wish of the Union and an insurmountable wall that had never been achieved since the death of Enoch Roosevolnik.
Even during the Great Demon King War 100 years ago, and in the current war against the new Demon King. The biggest reason the union was pushed back was, by far, the corps commander.
The former demon king was engrossed in training to become a demon god, and did not come out of the demon castle. The reason for this is still unknown for the present Demon King, but he is also confined to the Demon King Castle.
Then, the biggest enemy of the coalition in war is the corps commanders.
They were overwhelmingly strong.
Inside the Holy Stone, only warriors who can fight on an equal footing with the corps commander are above the middle rank, and outside the Holy Stone, the Lion King, the Holy King, and Heineken. Without these three, the fight itself would not have been established.
Of course, the war of the alliance had no choice but to be carried out defensively inside the castle stone. And often, if you want to be driven to a strategic point with a powerful holy stone, you will be defeated by the corps commanders who enter into the holy stone at the cost of weakening.
The result is now. The Lion King frontline with the strongest castle stones, the strongest walls, and the strongest kings.
So far, there have been several attempts by the legionnaires to conquer Muspelheim, but they have all been repulsed by the Lion King.
However, the lion king was only Mercury after all. The reason why the commanders withdrew was not because the Lion King ‘defeated’ them, but because they ‘endured’ until the cost of staying inside the Holy Stone became burdensome.
In other words, an achievement that even the Lion King could not achieve was achieved in this war.
By the two warriors and the apostle Han Do-yoon.
“Who the hell is Han Do-yoon! Gather all the information about him! Right Now!!”
“Yes, yep!”
Naturally, the military was upset.
Even listening to the testimony of the soldiers, Han Do-yoon’s achievements were not at the level of simple support. He, along with Heineken, was the main force of the battle.
Besides, after the sudden power-up of the corps commander, didn’t he really fight alone?
A hero-level apostle, equivalent to Heineken, was born. More than the fact that he had just subdued a single corps commander, this was really happy and important.
But soon after, tight control over some information was put in place.
At the meeting of the Ministry of Information, something unusual was mentioned.
“Hecleosian…? What is this?”
“According to the muttered words of the corps commander, Apostle Han Do-yoon performed the Hecleus ceremony…”
“Don’t mention that.”
“Yes?”
“It’s an order from above.”
The upper part is, now that the Lion King has disappeared, a person who is practically close to the number one in the coalition in terms of influence. It was Dokgo Muyoung.
The intelligence chief recalled the conversation with Dokgo Moo-yeong.
‘Then, shall we completely discard this information?’
‘no. wait Just keep it under control so it doesn’t spread. First… I have something to check.’
‘All right.’
The Director of Intelligence, who respected Dokgo Moo-yeong after the Lion King, accepted the order without a word.
About a thousand soldiers who heard the words of the corps commander, that is, knew this information, were at the front of the line at the time. and some apostles. Except for them, all of them had ordinary senses, so they couldn’t hear the conversation at a distance.
First, there was a thorough crackdown on them.
Of course, it was impossible to completely cover it up because of the scale, but it was so novel-like and absurd that there was no problem with a little leakage.
‘He was always a person who hid his expression, but this time he was exceptionally…’
Dokgo Moo-young’s expression was unusual.
The intelligence chief felt that he had touched something, a great secret. So I concealed it more thoroughly and tried to forget it for the time being.
Because he was a soldier, not a luxury man. He faithfully carried out Dokgo Muyeong’s orders.
“Only that file is upgraded to top secret and stored. Proceed with the collection of other information about Apostle Han Do-yoon as scheduled.”
“yep!”
The Coalition’s intelligence department moved even busier.
+++
Meanwhile, the military department is in the midst of preparing for the announcement of the death of the corps commander, victory news, and the leading role.
Including Heineken, who only treated acute wounds, the warriors who participated in the war went straight to other places.
Warrior Brudet. Hero Heineken. The warrior Dokgo Moo-young.
Extremely luxurious, extremely few elite forces.
This was a tremendous composition unprecedented in history for a dungeon exploration team, not a separate unit for a special mission in war.
“Is this a rock?”
“That’s right.”
Heineken nodded while looking at the small piece of paper handed over from Doyoon’s arms.
“What is in this place?”
“Perhaps, Doyoon left an arrangement in case he used the waters of hell himself. It’s like an item that can revive your body no matter how damaged it is by recoil.”
“But, why is it in the middle of a demonic realm like this…?”
“Okay.”
This place was somewhere near the front line, a bloody place full of brutal beasts.
Of course, for these four, taking a walk in the Devil’s Nest is not a thing. Rather, it was more strange that Doyoon pointed to this place before collapsing.
Dokgo Moo-young tapped the rock with his stick and inspected it.
“It’s a perfect cover-up. Impossible at the level of union… It looks like a dwarven skill to me.”
“Didn’t they disappear long ago? But how did Doyoon…”
The two looked at Brudet.
But he hadn’t said anything before, just walked with the two of them.
After the battlefield was cleared by Dokgo Moo-young and Brudet, Heineken showed them the paper that Do-yoon handed over to them.
And Brudet, who saw that, said that she would definitely join the journey to this place, to see if she knew anything.
Heineken heard the conversation between Verde and Doyun. Dokgo Moo-young had been suspicious of Do-yoon’s secret from before.
The two sensed from Brudet’s serious expression that he knew Do-yoon’s secret.
“Can I come in?”
“…Yes.”
Brudet nodded.
After clearing the rocks, a long secret passage greets them. And at the end was the entrance to the warehouse.
“A lock using swordsmanship? Compared to stealth, security is too lax.”
It was a lock that anyone could open by injecting a sword stronger than the initial sword.
Behind them, Brudette drew her sword.
Heineken looked at him and asked.
“Brudette, will you open it?”
“no. Even with my sword, that door won’t open.”
“Yes?”
At that, Heineken opened his eyes wide and asked.
“There can be no better swordsmanship than Mr. Brudet, the best swordsman on the continent…”
“I need to break down the door, please help me.”
“Ah, yes.”
Heineken said nothing more and pulled out the spear.
After a while, the door collapses.
Quaang-!
As Heineken grabbed the spear and swung it, the wind blew the dust away.
Entering inside, Dokgo Moo-young muttered.
“It’s a warehouse.”
“They are scattered in a mess without organization or classification. What warehouse is it?”
“I can’t see any weapons or goods, and it looks like they’ve mostly gathered things like artifacts… hmm?”
Stepping over the items on the ground, he found an object displayed in a display case alone in the back.
“that?”
After looking at it for a moment, his eyes lit up.
“…Oh My God.”
Soon, he was tinged with astonishment.
“Why is that?”
“It’s an elixir.”
“Yes?”
Heineken doubted my ears and asked back.
“It must be. Elixir… that’s two bottles. Unbelievable…!”
“Eh, Elixir. Are you really talking about that supreme elixir, the elixir?”
Elixir.
A legendary elixir that, when eaten, removes all negative factors in any form, such as curses, injuries, and disabilities, and greatly increases lifespan and potential.
Originally, like dragons, even their existence was controversial, but Enoch Roosevolnik’s diary proved that they existed without a doubt.
However, its existence was only confirmed, and it was difficult for even the warriors to dare to live their entire lives and capture it once in their eyes.
“Why on earth is that elixir here…”
How the hell did Doyoon do this?
Only then did the two of them roll around on the floor, examining the clutter that had been run over by their feet.
“…The ring of Shincheon. It is the highest grade Haeju item.”
“Everything, the record of the land, and this… four, the sap of the deceased legionnaire Yggdrasil! What is all this…!”
Rolling around on the ground, stuff I used to treat as useless junk.
All of them were items of enormous value, which would be difficult for most high-ranking apostles to obtain even if they spent their entire lives.
Both of them were bewildered by the feast of these great treasures.
There were two bottles of that precious elixir, and top-notch items rolled around like stones. An enormous treasure trove that makes even dragons run wild.
Do-yoon handed over the location, the place they came to.
That place is one of the hidden legacies of the Great Hero.
It was Enoch Roosevolnik’s warehouse.
