[ Episode 401. Army of monsters]
When we left Jakata and went back to the ground, the vast desert and sandy wind greeted us. It was a scene that felt like a long ti ago to , but the party covered their faces with familiar faces.
“Walking on my own feet, hehehe.”
Salem gave a funny look and glanced back at .
“So where is it located?”
The direction the emperor is coming from is probably the place where Nebro’s body is sealed. The mory of what I had heard from Ogwan in advance was vaguely lingering.
“Ah…”
“Did you forget sothing?”
“no.”
It wasn’t that, but sothing just ca to mind. I thought that Ogwan was born before Ilias, but then I don’t know where Nebro was sealed.
‘It seems that the lineage of Nyx has been guarding Galaksur and Nebro even after the Age of the Gods ended.’
After correcting my misunderstanding, I turned my gaze to the north. Even if the five senses didn’t tell , now I knew exactly.
The place where Nebro was sealed is also the place where I made a pact with Laplace’s devil, so I can’t forget it.
About two days from here. It wasn’t too far.
“Kong! Kung!”
We heard the cry of an animal that caught us as we tried to leave. A dog-bearer was hurriedly coming out of the entrance of Zakhar.
“What’s going on?”
When Evan stepped forward and asked, the dog-bearer lowered his head and spoke hastily.
“This is new information!”
“As expected, it is an information organization. The circulation of information is fast.”
Salem said sothing that I don’t know if he was laughing or really admiring it, but Soo-in spoke to without showing anything.
“A huge army is approaching the tribes of Shaiya.”
“The army?”
is it empire?
I calmly listened to him more.
“Although they are soldiers, they say that their identities are not humans, but unknown monsters. I’m sending it to you urgently as I’m sure it has sothing to do with the emperor.”
At the words of the dog-bearer, the party and I fell into thought for a while.
An unidentified force heard along with the news that the emperor was coming. Besides, if it was non-human monsters, the connection was ambiguous.
“The emperor cos first.”
Maximin said to who was worried. With revenge just around the corner, he wouldn’t mind the tribes of the desert.
But is it really a coincidence that the unidentified army appeared?
If you think about the information you’ve experienced in the ga, the episodes that could happen here were all the sinful gluttony, small dungeons, and tribes in the desert.
“I doubt that army.”
“Adrias.”
Maximin quietly called my na. I could feel the impatience in it, but the more I felt it, the more I spoke calmly.
“It can’t be a coincidence.”
“…….”
“The fact that the emperor who went to find the body of the demon king and the army of monsters overlap at this ti cannot be unrelated.”
“The demon king’s body?”
Oh didn’t you say
Co to think of it, I didn’t have the ti to speak because I heard only the story of Nebro’s sealing from the five senses and imdiately woke up from gluttony.
“That’s right. The emperor ca here aiming for the body of the demon king who was said to have existed in ancient tis.”
“How do you know that?”
Maximin asked questionably. Then it was Luna who answered instead of .
“Grandma told !”
“grandma?”
“huh!”
Everyone in the party knew about the five senses. Luna soon began to explain in more detail.
“The underground city of Jakata, where we were just staying, is said to be the city where our blood relatives lived! Yes, from the old days!”
“It’s a blood relative…….”
“And our blood relative was a clan that guarded the sword and the seal of the demon king! Grandma told !”
“The place Adrias and you went to earlier then……”
“I went to check if the seal was intact, and voila! The seal is broken!”
Maximin frowned as he saw Luna clearly explaining. Then he folded his arms and quietly closed his eyes.
“Because he’s the Demon King… he must have been hiding sothing interesting.”
Salem laughed wickedly as if he was appetizing, and Evan, on the contrary, looked at with a hard face.
“Are you all right?”
“well.”
Apparently, he seed concerned about my well-being. Evan himself was a strong man on the continent of 10, so there was no sign of great fear.
“If you leave it to , I will take care of it right away. There is no need for the lord to co forward himself…….”
“I will kill the emperor.”
Maximin opened his closed eyes as if he couldn’t lose. Then Evan nodded, as if he had no intention of fighting.
“ and Maximin will handle it.”
“Hey, the demon king’s body is mine.”
“Then, the three of us……”
As Evan’s words got longer and longer, he first asked Evan for a favor.
“Evan, then, please find out the exact location of the emperor. Don’t step out, just figure out the location.”
“I take orders.”
“The rest go with to check the monsters. Because the emperor might be there.”
When he showed an attitude that he would not accept a counterargunt, Salem said as if why it was working like that.
“Didn’t you know the location roughly? I don’t know anything about military power, it’s a matter that only the emperor has to deal with.”
“As you said, I only know roughly. I don’t know exactly. And since the army suddenly appeared from an unexpected location as if it had teleported, there’s no reason the emperor shouldn’t do that either.”
“That’s right.”
Salem nodded as if he understood. However, the body wriggled as if it was not enough to beat the gluttony, as if it was regrettable.
“The monsters that have appeared may be related to the demon lord, so it might be worth researching.”
“Okay, okay.”
When Salem made a gesture to stop nagging, Evan bowed his head and said.
“I will go first.”
“We will go to the area where there is an army of monsters. I’ll et you over there.”
Soon after, Evan moved as if disappearing in the wind, and we started to set off as well. The destination was the direction the dog-beard-man said.
**
Chow!
Chaeng-Geurang!
““Wow!””
The last remaining enemy fell with a huge shout. Minus, who was covered in blood, looked at it and laughed, showing his teeth.
“I won.”
The news of the emperor’s disappearance spread throughout the Empire and soon affected the battlefield.
Nurous superhumans made excuses and started to leave the battlefield with no reason to see blood.
Conversely, the Western nobles who received the news united more firmly in the hope of victory, and finally defeated the last remaining subjugation army and were able to look behind the retreating enemies.
“I bet you expected all of this. But it is strange.”
Rather than the relief of winning, I felt a little doubt. I knew it was starting to break down inside, but it was too soon. I had planned to look at it for at least the next 6 months…
The first person that ca to mind was, of course, Adrias Cromwell. By the ti you start to suspect that he may have done sothing else,
“Your Highness!”
Daenerd, the deputy commander of the Knights of Morheim, ca running in a hurry. His appearance was also close to rags, as if showing the current situation of a fierce battlefield, but his expression was more important than that.
The expression that sothing went wrong. Minus could only harden his complexion.
“What is it?”
“This is urgent news from a ssenger from another territory!”
In the middle of a corpse pit where everyone was cheering and celebrating, only Minus and Daenerd’s expressions grew serious.
“say it.”
“Unknown monsters occur in large quantities near the Bland territory! The number is said to be in the thousands. And they move like an army…”
“A monster?”
Are you a monster? What monster are you talking about all of a sudden? Besides, it was strange that he couldn’t pinpoint the identity of the monster.
“It is said to be an unknown monster. If I were to find sothing similar, it would have been similar to the undead…”
“Is it a eting?”
With Minus’ common sense, the only group that would do such a thing was the Congregation of Warlocks. However, according to information from his aides recently, he said that his power has weakened
…
“yes?”
“If it’s the undead, there’s nothing other than the black magician’s eting.”
At Minus’ words, Danard nodded his head in agreent.
“His Highness Moh Morhai!”
“majesty! It’s a blast!”
ssengers of life suddenly ran near Minus, who was lost in thought for a while. Seeing this, Minus felt an ominous feeling and t Daenerd’s eyes.
“I can’t stand it…”
Dannard muttered, his eyes shaking.
The ssengers who ca running were those in charge of different regions. The fact that such people ca at the sa ti…
“It’s urgent, Your Highness! The news is that the Beglang estate is holding a sit-in against the army of monsters!”
“I got a call saying that a large number of unknown monsters have occurred and are fighting in the field! However, the last contact was cut off urgently!”
“The map of penin…”
Minus’s expression darkened infinitely at the urgent news that ca through. And he said as if he understood.
“The punitive forces didn’t just withdraw.”
“ah! If that’s the case, you too…!”
“If one’s territory is robbed, the subjugation army or whatever ans nothing.”
On a larger scale than expected, Minus sighed once and spoke to Daenerd.
“From now on, it is an all-out information war. First, identify all areas where monsters have occurred and check the area near Morheim. After confirming that Morheim is safe, dispatch the troops you can spare to your allies.”
“Confird, Your Highness!”
Dannard started to move quickly. At the sa ti, the ssengers also hurriedly ran to grasp other information.
“What a ss.”
Minus frowned at the sight of countless bodies piled up like mountains. It seed like there was still a long way to go.

“Hmm?”
Isabelle, who was looking at Vivian, who was quietly breathing as if asleep, suddenly turned her head. Lucia, who was with him, asked.
“Why are you like that?”
“Sothing is coming.”
Isabelle slowly rose from her seat. When Lucia tried to stand up as well, she smiled calmly and shook her head.
“It’s okay, stay here.”
In a kind but irresistible atmosphere, Lucia quietly followed Isabelle’s words.
Coming out of the room, Isabelle passed the servants and family mbers busy inside the building and headed towards the wall.
“uh? Isabelle.”
Amy and Diene, who were discussing supplies outside the mansion, greeted Isabel. Diene, who had been living in Cromwell and helping with administrative work, asked Isabelle a question with a puzzled face.
“What did you co out for?”
“I have sothing to check.”
When Isabelle calmly said it as if it was nothing, Diene nodded without concern. Soon after, Amy and Diene were busy again checking the supplies, and Isabelle climbed up the wall.
“Haa…….”
It was the season when white breath danced as if it would snow at any mont. Thinking of the people in the southern desert, Isabel imdiately uses blood magic
.
Things that had been hidden began to appear in her eyes.
“This ti, it’s ti to really pay for the al.”
According to sudden information, the rebels who were supposed to co retreated for so reason. Cromwell was relieved thanks to this, but Isabel realized why they had retreated as she saw the scene in her field of vision.
thump thump!
it was an army
However, it was an army made up of chiras with different body shapes, not humans.
Monsters of all different sizes and shapes were slowly but surely heading their way.
“Who did this?”
Isabelle’s fangs showed up after a long ti.
