153 – It is the team leader of the group task that leads even that trash (6)
The Tribal Alliance meeting has successfully ended. But the problem was then. It was because the demon tribes suddenly launched an offensive all over the continent. This is a story that happened a week ago.
Thanks to that, Hans’s plan to prepare for the attack had to come to nothing. He was going to immediately attack the enemy’s heartland and reduce the power of the demons even more.
I never thought I’d get hit first like this. Hans clicked his tongue. They were formidable enemies both in the game and in real life. However, when I was counterattacked, I roughly predicted it.
I didn’t think the demons would stay still. Considering that I thought I could attack even tomorrow. Rather, it was close to luck that I had about 15 days to spare.
Of course, the first ones to attack were the human kingdom and the dwarf principality. It was a sudden surprise attack, but it was not difficult to defend at first. That is, until Jinjo came out.
“Does this mean that the true ancestors also appeared?”
“I guess so.”
“True ancestors reappear. They don’t come out very often.”
Hans clicked his tongue. He said the reason Jinjo didn’t dare to step forward was simple. It is because the true ancestors are the source of the demons. True ancestors, of course, the demons below them. Even monsters can be created.
This is determined according to the number of ancestors. In the unlikely event that the ancestors are seriously injured or die. The power of monsters and demons that can be created is decreasing. Power begins to crumble.
That’s why the ancestors don’t step forward if they’re too busy. It is the most important strategic resource. There is only one case where such ancestors step forward directly. It’s literally all-out war.
“The demons have drawn all their strength. Are they trying to see the end?”
“Dragon Lord’s influence in the North has diminished. It looks like they’re trying to cover it somehow before it loses any more influence.”
“Perhaps.”
It is not the end of a region’s influence. Of course, the influence of other regions has no choice but to diminish naturally. And when that happens, the advantage gradually disappears.
Until now, the reason why the demons led the fights in an advantageous way was their overwhelming force. It is because they have been using the monsters to fight what they want. However, that doesn’t work.
But even so, the fact that demons have an advantage still doesn’t change. Because the total amount of all power is still stronger than the demons. That’s why I’ve been walking an all-out war now. In order not to lose ground.
In other words, it means that I abandoned the mindset of not wanting to lose any more demons. Up until now, the demons had tried to win with minimal or complete damage.
“Now I’m sure you realize that doesn’t work.”
“Yes, because we are here now.”
‘…… What does that have to do with you?’
Because of Clara, who naturally helps out a word by the side. For a moment, Hans almost let out a nonsensical sound. Because the weight of a person is different depending on the words of each word.
That’s why you have to be extra careful with what you say. Even if it’s not a big deal, it’s because the mote can catch your ankle if it piles up. Especially if there is a huge bubble in your reputation.
At least it was Hans who was clearly aware of that. It has become a habit to always keep an eye on your mouth. Thanks to this, I was able to prevent the disaster of spitting out nonsensical nonsense.
“What do you mean?”
“Captain, you already know? What are we talking about?”
‘No, I really don’t know.’
“I know the captain wants to protect us. But now we can do our part as well.”
‘?’
However, even Hans was taken aback by the sudden confidence in his voice. But they were reckless. Because I don’t want to be protected behind the captain’s back anymore.
“We are going to mark the true ancestors.”
“You’re going to mark the true ancestors? One by one?”
“That’s right.”
Only then did Hans finally realize what the girls were talking about. Yes, right now, the girls are suggesting to Hans that they will fight as Jinjo on a one-on-one basis.
In a way, it was natural. Even now, the ancestors were scattered and attacking other countries. How are you holding up now? Jinjoman is different. The power possessed by Jinjo is an existence outside the standard.

Of course, if you’re not at the level of the Royal Knights, you won’t be able to handle it. So, ideally, it is correct that the members of the Royal Knights are scattered and dealt with. But Hans shook his head.
“I can’t allow it. It’s too dangerous.”
Of course, there was no way Hans would allow such a thing. The Royal Knights were finally rebuilt. But can we take the risk of being separated from each other? If you ask that, the answer is no.
“There is a lot of truth in what the captain said. This time, it’s not a reckless challenge at all.”
“Isn’t this a reckless challenge?”
“Yes, each race has one knight equal to or less than the Royal Knights.”
“Hmm…”
“With military support, we will be able to deal with it.”
Yuren confirmed. Because it was Yuren who personally trained her, her words were trustworthy enough. But no matter how much I hesitated, I couldn’t help it. Right now, blood vessels alone are strong.
Dealing with a true ancestor beyond that. Of course, there was a record of defeating the Royal Knights against the True Ancestors before. But at that time, only three of the original ancestors came to take the least amount of damage.
Even that, except for one, the remaining two could not be caught properly. Even if it was numerically superior. But how can you be sure? After thinking for a while, Hans opened his mouth.
“Let’s take a moment.”
I know with my head. That this is the best way. But I couldn’t help but feel anxious. So, Hans tried to buy as much time as possible. Just like right now.

“Does the captain not trust us?”
It was Clara who suddenly spoke up during the meal. Her values could be called recognition. Just like she wanted her mother to accept her. She was Clara and she wanted to be recognized by the leader.
She was a Clara who did not hide her desire. Because she was confident. Even if she confronts Jinjo head-on, she will never lose. To that, Helya replied coldly.
“Please refrain from being cocky.”
“No, but that’s right. If the captain believes in us…!!”
“Even if that statement is true, what difference does it make?”
“What?”
In fact, Clara’s words touched upon Helya’s resentment. Although she was Helya who always disapproved of them. She didn’t bother to speak. Because she didn’t want to be hated by the teacher.
But openly doubting things like now is a different story. As her teacher’s disciple, she has to correct it herself. Different minds bring conflict to each other.
Helia quietly rose from her seat. And she also glared at Clara, who rose from her seat. The time when the two of them were facing each other without avoiding their eyes. A voice interrupted.
“Infighting is strictly prohibited.”
“Youren is right. You have a big task ahead of you. Are you thinking of fighting each other to relax?”
“…….”
“…….”
“I don’t think I’m that stupid.”
With Yuren’s firm words, Clara and Helya also had no choice but to step back at once due to Cluna’s stinging blow. It was only natural that they became sensitive to each other. Again, going back to that time.
Everyone except Helia and Cluna already knew. That they have failed once. That label doesn’t go away easily. Of course people point fingers. Even their own memories.
Memories of failure do not disappear and remain and torment oneself. That’s why most failures try to make up for their failures. Or the heart was broken in despair at such a big failure.
Because I know that if I stay still like this, I might change my mind. Cluna thought calmly. How can I release their core? After much thought, she opened her mouth.
“It’s not that the captain doesn’t trust you. He’s trying to save you because he cares about you.”
“But, that’s…!!!”
“It’s a bit similar to what I did to you in the past. The intensity is weak… But it can’t be helped.”
Cluna was right. Worrying about your loved ones is unavoidable. I hope you don’t get involved in anything dangerous. However, in some cases, it could feel ignored.
“But don’t give up. If I keep persuading you… I’m sure the captain will understand.”
“……That’s right, mom is right.”
“That’s right.”
Clara and Ruby said as they got up without saying anything first.
“I’ll settle the match with the captain myself!”
“So am I!”
If Hans was here, how would he have reacted?
Perhaps he tried to kill himself by rolling on the ground.
Of course, this is ironic.
