Episode 280: Those who felt in danger

The palace of the Elbion Kingdom.

The ministers in the palace and the king were extremely embarrassed by the reports pouring in every day.

“No, how on earth did this happen!”

“The advance team appears to be isolated.”

I never thought the situation would turn so quickly.

The invasion went very smoothly.

As a result, the advance force led by each prince entered deep into Belkart.

The choice could not be seen as a wrong decision.

Anyone would have done that in that situation.

However, a large army of undead suddenly descended from Dongbuk-myeon and poured in from the outskirts, blocking all escape routes.

And from there, they took control of major bases and gradually tightened the hold on the advance corps.

“What happened to the main unit’s expedition!? “When are you going to go to war?”

The King of Elbion was furious and went on a rampage.

However, the Minister of State took a step forward and opened his mouth.

“your majesty. “The main unit will not be dispatched.”

“What nonsense!”

“The war situation is unusual. “In the current situation, it would be right to wait and see.”

“what!? “Is that what you’re going to do now?”

The King of Elbion was furious and threw the petitions on the table.

The Minister of State, who had been silently accepting him with his eyes closed, opened his mouth once again.

“your majesty. “The noble faction, which was half the strength of Belkart, was annihilated.”

“… … .”

“The person who annihilated him is raising more troops and recovering the recaptured territory. Are you planning on starting an all-out war with him?”

“Couldn’t it all be Belkart’s scheme!? “To gain justification for war!”

“Then wouldn’t it be a bigger deal? “I am confident against as many as three kingdoms.”

The King was speechless at the Minister of State’s words.

It was that time when I held back my boiling anger and tightly gripped the armrests of the throne.

Another minister stepped forward and shot the Minister of State.

“Nevertheless, it is right for the main force to go to war! “Do you mean to abandon all three isolated princes!?”

“However, if you move a large army in the current situation, you must be prepared for an all-out war.”

“No matter what agreement was made! “First of all, we have to save the princes!”

The ministers of Daejeon engaged in a heated war of words.

There were other kingdoms as well, so there was no need to go out and start an all-out war.

However, that didn’t mean he could abandon all three princes.

It was a time when all ministers, regardless of party affiliation, were arguing.

“your majesty! “A messenger from the 3rd Corps has arrived!”

The 3rd Corps was the 3rd Prince’s side heading toward Dongbuk-myeon.

At a time when all the ministers were in confusion, the King of Elbion shouted urgently.

“Hurry up and stop by!”

A knight hurriedly runs by.

He bowed to the king and took out a blue magic sphere from his chest along with a letter.

“I will report to you. your majesty!”

“okay! What happened!?”

“The 3rd Corps… … “We have been destroyed!”

“… … !?”

The King of Elbion was startled and stood up from his throne.

I thought he would have lost the battle and retreated from the time he came down to the south.

But, could it be that hundreds of thousands of the 3rd Corps were destroyed?

“Uh, what happened!?”

“Wow, it’s a monster! he is… … .”

“Couldn’t I say it the right way!?”

The driver broke into a cold sweat as he recalled what happened at that time.

His whole body was shaking with a face filled with fear.

“With just one spell… … Hundreds of thousands of soldiers died.”

“… … .”

“I couldn’t even fight it. In the face of that overwhelming power… … It’s the devil. he is!”

Looking at the knight’s contemplative expression, the King of Elbion opened his mouth in a trembling voice.

“Third, what happened to the third?”

“We are quickly returning with the remaining troops. He declared war on him and on the kingdom he saw.”

“Declaration of war?”

The knight presented the blue magic sphere to the king.

The palace grand wizard, who discovered his identity, accepted him and injected him with magical energy.

Ji-e-ing-

The magic sphere trembled and glowed.

Yukiel’s appearance appeared in the air along with a blue light.

Yukiel, who was floating in the air like a hologram, glared at the King of Elbion and continued speaking.

『Foolish monarch. Listen.』

“W-what!?”

『The rotten flesh of the kingdom was cut out for the future of Belkart. However, you foolish people saw him as an opportunity and ruined the kingdom.』

“… … .”

『The messed up situation of the kingdom is deplorable and sad. Therefore, I declare war on all three kingdoms that have invaded my kingdom. I will trample your kingdom and reduce it to ashes. We do not accept surrender or agreements. Gather hundreds or tens of millions of troops and try to stop them. I will kill them all and ravage your land.』

“Oh, this is fucking killing me…” … .”

『And he will start from you, Elbion. Monarch of a ruined nation, engrave your kingdom into ashes with your eyes and regret and regret again.』

That was the end of those words.

After that, the magic sphere lost its light and Yukiel’s appearance disappeared.

All the ministers were speechless and their mouths opened wide.

I never thought they would declare war so directly and so radically.

At that moment of silence, the King of Elbion chewed his lips and shouted.

“It’s the king’s command! “Prepare for war by any means necessary!”

The king’s shout resounded throughout Daejeon.

But then, the Minister of State took another step forward and continued.

“your majesty. “No, it won’t work.”

“Didn’t you hear me? You bastard! “Don’t they say we’re trampling on Elbion!!”

“If war is unavoidable! At the very least, we must form an alliance with Yata and Perez and fight together! That side will have fewer sacrifices and will be able to increase their chances of winning!”

“Do you think you have time to persuade Yata and Perez and make an agreement!?”

“… … .”

“We must rescue the isolated advance team immediately! “Doesn’t the Lord know that Yata and Perez are next!”

The Minister of State had no choice but to take a step back and lower his head.

If the war is going to happen anyway, we must first rescue the isolated princes as the king said.

If you are captured and become a hostage, the initiative will be transferred to the enemy.

‘War must be prevented.’

It didn’t feel good.

There was no way he had known that the three kingdoms would invade.

Nevertheless, seeing that they are making a decision and even declaring war like this, it is probably because they are confident that they can win.

He quietly whispered to the Foreign Minister next to him.

“I think we need to send an envoy urgently.”

“You mean Yatawa Perez?”

“As the situation is dire, we must move through magical communication channels.”

“Then the Shinigami… … .”

“I need to know his requirements. “If we can negotiate, we should negotiate, and shouldn’t we make a move so that we can turn our attention to other kingdoms?”

The Foreign Minister nodded quietly.

We had to prepare for a large-scale invasion, but we had to stop it if we could.

At the very least, one had to gauge his power by looking at his battles with other kingdoms.

I am grateful to Bale for his military power.

* * *

God’s barrier where the devil is sealed.

A red pillar reached the sky from the sealing camp within the wall.

The space became distorted, and the seal became as flaccid as thin plastic.

Intense power spread out in all directions, dozens of gates were created around the barrier, and monsters poured out.

“Well, I can’t believe it’s sealed like this… … .”

“Uh-huh! “Stop talking nonsense!”

“But isn’t this a dangerous situation from anyone’s perspective?”

High-ranking figures, including the Cardinal of the Wall, remained silent.

There was an underlying feeling of anxiety about the abnormal phenomenon in the seal, but it was not possible.

At best, only 300 years have passed since the apocalyptic crisis.

No matter what I did, I thought we would enjoy peace for a few hundred more years.

However, the seal’s condition was unusual.

“How’s it going outside?”

“The saints are leading the paladins and new soldiers to suppress it. “There is quite a bit of damage, but it’s not enough to worry about.”

The outside was swarming with monsters.

There were some strong monsters among them, so they were quite threatening.

All priests had no choice but to be more sensitive as they were stuck in front of the Demon King’s sealing camp.

At a time when all the high-ranking officials of the Wall were gathered together to discuss how to deal with the abnormal phenomenon, someone entered with a contemplative look on their face.

“Wow, we’re in big trouble!”

Everyone turned to a priest.

Everyone was nervous with their thoughtful faces.

“The Great Seongjeon, the Great Seongjeon… … .”

“What happened to the Great Crusade?”

“The Great Crusade disappeared overnight and the Sanctuary was destroyed!”

“… … !?”

Everyone was so shocked that they jumped up from their seats.

How big is the Great Sanctuary, and would it disappear overnight?

“W-what do you mean!?”

“They say they, Etelos, attacked the Great Crusade and reduced it to ashes!”

“W-what!?”

“It is said that their undead are tens of thousands of years old, and their level was truly incredible!”

Tens of millions of undead.

All the high-ranking officials on the wall froze when they heard him.

I thought it was threatening, but I never thought it had that much power.

He has never openly shown off his power like this before.

Even when we were planning something, we did it all in secret.

“Tens, tens of millions… … .”

“What is that… … .”

Some said they were overrated.

They said he was just a coward hiding behind rumors of a ‘legend’.

To be honest, I thought the wall and each religious denomination were threatening, but I didn’t know it would be to this extent.

If the undead are of such an absurd scale, the scale of the black magicians and warlocks controlling them is unimaginable.

If they invaded the wall at a time like this, it is doubtful whether they would be able to stop it.

“We must immediately inform each denomination and Holy Kingdom of the current situation and request support!”

I don’t know what will happen.

However, the forces scattered across the continent of each denomination had to be gathered into one place.

This is to avoid having each church’s great temples destroyed one by one by Etelos like in the Great Crusade.

Inside the Wall, there was great shock due to the disappearance of the Great Crusade, and a state of emergency was declared, informing each denomination and Holy Empire of the situation of the Wall and the events of the Great Crusade.

Meanwhile, while the Great Sanctuary was busy, inside the sealing camp, the Demon King slowly opened his eyes.

【at las… … . I guess I ran out of strength. 】

The Demon King narrowed his eyes and thought of someone.

The one who appeared alone in the Sea of ​​Sisan and Blood, forcibly sealed it, and then left.

The Demon King also knew who this guy was.

【Etelius… … . I will definitely kill you! 】

The Demon King was angry.

It’s like the gaze of a guy looking down at something small.

That was the way he looked at humans.

The Demon King, recalling what happened then, struggled with anger.

The barrier repeatedly stretched and shrunk like a balloon.

However, although consciousness may have awakened, the power of the seal still remained.

The Demon King wanted to kill Etelius right away, but he persevered.

I was asleep and couldn’t calculate the exact time, but it took hundreds of years.

Seeing as he woke up, the seal’s strength will probably run out soon.

After waiting for hundreds of years, there is nothing that can’t wait just a few more years.

The Demon King thought of the seeds he had sown in advance.

【Stupid guys… … . 】

All but one disappeared.

Even that one person is hiding in the dark.

It was impossible to estimate the extent of the current human power.

The only thing we know is that the number of humans has increased dozens of times compared to hundreds of years ago.

But, no matter what, humans were just humans.

If the number has increased dozens of times, all you have to do is slaughter dozens of times more people and take the accumulated karma.

【Soon. soon… … . I will kill them all. 】
