339 – 324.Before the Storm-3
Even if I go crazy, I am still crazy.
This was Kang Jun-hyuk’s thought after seeing Bern.
The devil’s purpose is to persuade the witch. However, Verne seemed to be annoyed and decided on the details of her transaction arbitrarily.
It was cruel, but I could understand it because he was strong.
Moreover, persuading capricious witches was more troublesome than expected.
However, the only expression that came out was that the transaction details that Bern had modified were truly crazy.
A human who calls himself the devil’s army.
He went under the command of the Demon King, humanity’s greatest enemy, and betrayed humanity without any hesitation.
‘If the power of the Demon King’s army had been strong, I would have understood…….’
It was very natural for people to pray to their enemies and declare their submission to them in order to survive.
However, the current Demon King’s army was crawling at rock bottom.
An incompletely resurrected demon king, a land of demons devastated by a light dragon, demons hiding in fear.
Bern participated in a force so shabby that it could hardly even be called a military force.
“Jin, are you serious?”
“So now you think I’m lying?”
“The Demon King’s army is the enemy of you humans! “Do you think that in the distant future, many people will raise their swords in hopes of your death?”
“They say do whatever you want. At that time, all you have to do is destroy everything.”
Bern cleared his nostrils and answered as if it was no big deal.
Neither the Demon King nor Kang Jun-hyuk were able to understand Bern’s intentions, as he did not feel the slightest sense of weight.
Are you claiming to be the devil’s army? Or is it sincere help?
“Don’t worry! “Because Hades will block it so that no one can put a sword to the master’s neck!”
“One way would be to establish a country where all mankind submits and obeys You.”
“I told you not to even dream about that, right?”
“It is a pity that you are so endowed with the qualities of the Absolute that you reject authority.”
“My dream is not to be a king. “He is living happily on a remote island with his wives.”
“Even after that dream comes true, I will always be by your side and help you!”
“hehehe, of course I am in the place of those wives, right?”
“…… “I will consider that positively.”
“Oh my, I’m so happy!”
The three people were chatting peacefully even as a huge army of undead and ants filled the forest.
Kang Jun-hyuk and the Demon King, who were watching the scene, were unable to say anything, as if they had become mute.
Because the scale of the action was extraordinary, I couldn’t figure out how to react.
“Hmm! Anyway, it is true that I will be your limb for a temporary period of time. “If there is a cause you want to achieve, tell me quickly.”
“Uh… ?”
“If you join the military, isn’t there something you want to do? For example, rebuilding the Demon King’s Castle or conquering the continent.”
“Well, then is it possible for the Holden Kingdom to fall?”
“It’s simple for a wish.”
Simple?
The Demon King and Kang Jun-hyuk could not understand a word of Bern.
Even the completely resurrected Demon King from the original work took about a month to bring down the Holden Kingdom.
Although one month was fast, it was almost a waste of time for the army led by Bern.
Early during the crown prince’s expedition, the kingdom unintentionally provoked Orichalcon Ant, and in return, the royal capital was invaded not even a day later.
In other words, in a situation where the Holden Kingdom could be conquered with just ants, it also had an army of the dead who could be revived even if they died.
While the undead are paying attention, the war ends when the ants infiltrate and take over the royal capital.
So, unlike the other two, it was just a minor thing for Bern.
“So, all we have to do is bring down the Holden Kingdom?”
“Yes.”
“Go first and take over, so come slowly.”
“…… Okay.”
The Demon King gave up understanding as he watched Bern leave, saying he was going to run errands.
***
There was not much ill-feeling towards the Holden Kingdom.
The people who mainly harassed Bern were the Demon Top Lord, Ping Chang, the Demon, and Kang Jun-hyuk.
However, it did not mean that the kingdom did not do any harm to Bern.
Acquiring the magic sword suspended his adventurer qualifications and forced him to be expelled from the academy.
However, since Bern was responsible for trying to solve his own helplessness with a magic sword, he could not say that the kingdom was bad.
‘If you look at it objectively, it was an appropriate action.’
When I read a novel, I thought it was some kind of happening and passed over it.
However, the kingdom’s hateful image was gradually revealed after I became possessed, and it started with Prince William.
William, who made some kind of deal and joined hands with the magic tower that I loathe.
I thought it would be like that. As the next king, he must have been greedy for power.
He probably wanted to make his position and country stronger by collaborating with a famous magic tower.
When he started planning to destroy the Magic Tower, he first politely asked Cestia to send him back.
But William was more arrogant than I imagined and behaved rudely to my precious Cestia.
The price was a slaughter show of ants.
In addition, the ants went further and occupied the royal capital by force.
I felt sorry for this part because it was a completely unexpected development.
After quickly resolving the situation and calming down, I faced the current king and subjects of the Holden Kingdom.
‘At least I thought that the abilities of the Orichalcon ants would be highly regarded and that they would not be overbearing.’
However, despite being torn apart by ants, the kingdom came out arrogant.
Not only William, but most of the higher-ups in the kingdom were people steeped in power.
I was greatly disappointed by that sight and reevaluated the future of the kingdom that had been destroyed by the Demon King.
From a kingdom of tragedy to a kingdom of self-sufficiency.
But after that, there was no major contact so I thought it was the end.
The Holden Kingdom’s bad relationship continued in the past.
It may be said that there is no relationship between the past and the present, but didn’t they say that the water below is clear only when the water above is clear?
The Kingdom of Holden has been dirty since ancient times.
Since we resolved a case on the border that the kingdom could not bear to look down on, they tried to rip us off by citing that incident.
This is a symbol telling you to hand over your bundle to save a drowning person.
Not wanting to cause friction with the kingdom, I ran away with Breeze in the name of traveling, but I kept it in my heart.
“Even if the past was a mess, if the present had improved, I would have looked at it favorably… ….”
There has never been a story with such a good ending.
That is why the Holden Royal Castle, which symbolizes authority, is burning brightly like now.
“Master! “We have received reports that the Durahanz have successfully infiltrated all gates.”
“At the same time, our children also said they were going to start an air raid.”
“How long do you think it will take to take over?”
“We successfully invaded up and down without any incident, so we expect to be able to conquer it within 30 minutes at most!”
I nodded as I looked at the shadows cast over the entire kingdom.
Looking at the chaos and panic that had returned to its original state after a long time, it was impossible to imagine a situation where the battlefield would turn over.
Killing is prohibited, but if it is deemed difficult to subdue, killing is also permitted, so the worst situation will not happen.
“Then, I will hand over my command to two people, so please take care of me until the end.”
“Are you going to the battlefield in person?”
“You can easily subdue Wangseong without me, right? “I have some work to do.”
Now that the royal capital has turned into a noisy battlefield, Leviathan’s attention will be divided in many ways to understand the situation.
I plan to take advantage of that opportunity and steal the Advent ritual guarded by Leviathan.
Originally, we planned to make a surprise attack when even Lucifer gathered together, but we decided to take advantage of the changed situation and quickly organize it.
“Is there anything we can assist you with?”
“Well, then, could you please bring in a few ants that are good at digging tunnels?”
“I’ll call you right away!”
I don’t know how deep Leviathan has dug into.
I was planning to leave the digging work to the ants and face Leviathan while preserving as much strength as possible.
If there were no obstacles blocking me.
“As expected, it doesn’t get any easier.”
“You cannot pass through this place!”
Students blocking the main gate of Felix Academy.
They were roughly 20 students and were the students I taught when I was a temporary teacher.
Seeing the swords soaked with their bodily fluids, I felt that it would not be long before they reached the Sword Master.
“I don’t remember teaching you to return favors with vengeance.”
“We didn’t want to fight with the teacher either. But, sir, you are the kingdom’s greatest hero. As a proud student of Felix Academy, I have no choice but to fight with my teacher.”
“Ha… ! There’s nothing you can do, come on. “I’ll put a sword in each hole so you can reminisce about the old days!”
I pointed my sword at the students and confronted them in earnest.
On the other hand, the students suddenly began to become agitated by my words.
We are in a situation where we are looking at each other to see what we should do.
Weren’t you trying to fight me?
I was in the midst of wondering about their changes.
Suddenly, students began pulling out their swords one by one and placing them on the floor.
Then he took off his clothes, layer by layer, and lay naked on the floor.
From Noble mtl dot com
“…… What? Where is the proud student of Felix Academy?”
“Actually, I still haven’t forgotten the taste of the sword that the teacher gave me…… !”
“””So, please put your sword into us!”””
Every single one of the students I taught was an excellent swordsman.
