34. Everyone has a plan… (9) 

#8. Their circumstances: The circumstances of the Beresseryl Kingdom  

The imperial army arrived.  

The heroes also arrived.  

And the allied forces of the kingdom arrived, and it is said that the denominations on the continent will also arrive.

We can win.  

With these weapons made by dwarves, even the evil god’s army is not scary!  

If we just hold on like this, the rest will be the combined might of all mankind will overthrow the Demon King and the evil god’s army!

“Damn it, why aren’t they coming?!”  

Count Maberuff, who was checking the map in his tent, shouted loudly enough to flush his face.  

It was the point where one month had passed since the arrival of the imperial army.  

At first, I thought I was waiting for reinforcements because the number of imperial troops was small.  

The heroes were the same. Even if you combine the imperial army and the hero entourage, it didn’t exceed five thousand.  

Even if each individual has the combat power of one hundred, numbers are important in war.  

The army of evil gods gathered from all over the continent still maintained nearly one hundred thousand troops, so they waited and waited again.  

And when the Kingdom Alliance arrived, I finally thought I had a chance.  

If the 200,000 Grand Army of the Kingdom Alliance, the Imperial Army, and the Heroes Alliance join forces.  

No matter how much the army of evil gods was, I was convinced that it could not win.  

In fact, thanks to the activities of the Beresseryl Kingdom, the army of evil gods, which exceeded several hundred thousand, was reduced to tens of thousands.  

In addition, since all the beasts and monsters around them were made into the army of evil gods, the army of evil gods was not replenished.  

In order to replenish the army of the evil god, you have to give up attacking the castle and retreat, but the Demon King and the army of the evil god did not lose troops.  

As if everything would be over if only the castle of the Black Anvil clan was captured, they launched an all-out offensive, and the Beresseryl Kingdom did its best to stop it.  

Now just wait a little longer and the imperial army will help.  

If we reduce the enemy a little more, the heroes will save us.  

Just a little more, just a little more!  

And so I killed and killed the army of evil gods.  

And as a result.  

“Ah, still?”  

“That’s right.”  

No one was coming.  

“Why on earth?”   

Count Maberuff could not understand.  

The army of the evil gods was reduced enough, and the might of mankind was gathered enough.  

But still everyone just keeps waiting.  

“Are they waiting to overthrow them more?”

That’s impossible.  

This is the village of the Black Anvil clan, but the Black Anvil clan does not exist.  

All the dwarves of the Black Anvil clan evacuated in preparation for an emergency to avoid the army of the evil god.  

Thanks to the dwarves who made hundreds of weapons and tens of thousands of consumables in a short period of time, we were able to endure like this, but in the end, limits were bound to come.  

Consumables dwindle with use, and weapons wear out the more they are used.  

The arrows of the dwarves were noticeably decreasing, and the arrows of Ballista were about to run out.  

When the magic artillery shells run out, you can use pure magic, but the columns are destroyed and the generations are broken.  

A broken weapon can drive its user to death.  

What if, weapons powerful enough to annihilate even the army of the evil god, if used incorrectly, could bring about the worst situation of massacring their allies.  

Therefore, weapons that were even slightly out of order had to be collected and repaired by blacksmiths.  

Ordinary blacksmiths cannot repair dwarf weapons that transcend human technology, but one cannot give up hope.  

“If this continues…”  

Count Maberuff sighed deeply and pressed both eyes hard with his hands.  

Even if he is called a sword master, fatigue accumulates.  

The desperate army of evil gods attempted attacks day and night regardless of day and night, and the people of the Beresseryl Kingdom forces began to tire.  

“I can’t hold out for long.”  

Looking at the figure of the soldiers, Count Maberuff felt that way.  

When they first arrived here, the Beresseryl Kingdom forces, who had lost their homeland, were full of vigor.  

After that, when he saw the weapons made by the dwarves, he was shocked by the number of over a hundred weapons, and when he realized the power of the weapons in battle with the army of evil gods, he was overflowing with confidence.  

One day, two days, three days.  

As the battle progressed, the morale of the allies began to pierce the sky, and after about a month, they thought they could make their name in human history.  

And after a month of fighting the army of evil gods.  

He was able to be convinced that this war would end when he heard the rumor that several reinforcements had arrived.  

But now, a month after that, the momentum of the allies has started to decline more and more.  

“If this is the case, don’t come at all. Why come and not do anything?”

If the reinforcements had not arrived, the morale of the armies would not have dropped.  

Those who remain here are all loyal subjects of the royal family, or those who have vowed revenge on the army of evil gods.  

Until they arrived here, they were determined to fight against the army of evil gods even if they lost their lives.  

Even if everyone is annihilated here, so that all the people on the continent can see!  

The Beresseryl Kingdom fought against the army of the evil gods without succumbing, and met a heroic end!  

It was because of the arrival of the dwarven weapons and the reinforcements that the determination began to falter.  

The dwarven weapons were so superior that they gave hope that they could win against the army of the evil gods, and the arrival of the reinforcements was like pouring oil on the sparks of that hope.  

You can live.  

For those who were ready to die, the sudden hope of being able to live arose.  

“Damn it…”

The Swordmaster saw a ray of hope that even he could survive. 

A glimmer of light seen in a situation where he had given up everything and was determined to die.  

It shone so brilliantly and was an irresistible temptation.

“General Maberuff!”

Seeing the soldier rushing urgently, Count Maberuff lowered his hand pressing his eyelids.

“What’s going on?”

The moment he showed himself shaking, it would be the end.  

Thinking so, Count Maberuff came out of his headquarters and spoke to the soldier in his usual manner.

“There’s a report that the troops of the Religion have arrived!”

“The Religion? How much?”

“A total union of over eighty Religions, with over one hundred thousand in total personnel!”

“Is this what we’ve been waiting for?!”

The Religion referred to the knights blessed by God at the forefront, and elite soldiers deemed worthy to bear God’s name.  

While small numbers were a disadvantage, that disadvantage had become nullified now that over eighty Religions had united.  

“Notify all troops! God has not forsaken us!”

“Yes sir!”

With this, everything was in place.  

The number of troops exceeded three hundred thousand, and the quality of the troops was at a level unmatched in human history!  

While the current Demon King was assessed as the strongest and worst Demon King in history, this was an unavoidable situation.  

Count Maberuff thought so.  

“Damn it…”

A curse word slipped from Count Maberuff’s mouth.  

What good was the strongest human army if no one came?!

Hearing a man’s voice in his ear, Count Maberuff thought this.  

“Dwarves say this at times like these. Shit.”

It was the words of Hectare, the dwarf honorary elder, who was right next to Count Maberuff.

“Shit.”

Count Maberuff, who hesitated for a moment, tried using the word honorary elder Hectare taught him.

‘Shit, shit huh. It’s a word that shakes the soul.’  

Thinking so, Count Maberuff asked about the meaning of the word he just used.  

“What does it mean?”

“It’s a word that means the carriage departs for the first time, things begin for the first time, symptoms appear for the first time.”

“Why is that a curse?”

“When urgently looking for a carriage and seeing it leave before your eyes.  We say shit. Things beginning for the first time means things will continue from then on. When that happens, we say shit. And when bad symptoms appear, we also say shit.”

“I see.”  

Count Maberuff nodded.  

While originally an ordinary word, it had become a curse fitting for the situation.  

“Shit.”

Thinking so, Count Maberuff felt a sense of relief every time he uttered the word shit.  

“I’m sorry for showing such a pathetic sight.”

“No, I understand the situation.”

“Is that so?”

Seeing Hectare’s kind smile, Count Maberuff was suddenly embarrassed by his behavior.  

“The reinforcements have arrived, yet they do not attack the evil god’s forces. Honorary elder Hectare, do you know the reason?”

In order to hide that embarrassment, Count Maberuff asked Hectare a question.  

But it wasn’t just a question to simply hide his embarrassment.  

He was a human who earned the dwarves’ in human form recognition and became an honorary elder.  

He had foreseen the battle with the Demon King and built the strongest fortress in advance, and persuaded the Black Anvil clan to make the strongest weapons for the Kingdom of Beresseryl, allowing them to stand against the evil god’s forces.  

The King was grateful for this and bestowed upon him the title of Count of Beresseryl Kingdom.  

Thinking Hectare would know the allied forces’ situation with his insight, Count Maberuff asked him.

“It must be to reduce friendly casualties.”  

In response to Count Maberuff’s question, Hectare replied with a very bitter expression.

“Reduce friendly casualties? Rather, casualties are accumulating in this situation! Attacking the evil god’s forces as soon as possible is the way to reduce friendly casualties!”

Hearing Hectare’s words, Count Maberuff exclaimed in confusion.  

‘Not attacking the evil god’s forces to reduce friendly casualties?! What is this?!’

As Count Maberuff, it was incomprehensible.  

“Count  Maberuff.” 

“Yes, elder Hectare.”

Seeing such a Count Maberuff, Hectare smiled bitterly.  

“The Kingdom of Beresseryl has accomplished too much.”

“What… Oh!”

Tilting his head at Hectare’s words, Count Maberuff had a startled expression.   

“Could it… Could it be…”

“Yes. That could it be is probably correct.”

Hectare’s words made Count Maberuff’s face stiffen.

“The Kingdom of Beresseryl demonstrated power unseen in any kingdom on the continent.”

No kingdom renowned as a world power could hold out for even a month.  

Yet in that situation, the Kingdom of Beresseryl had defended against the evil god’s forces for nearly three months.

If the war ended like this.

The world would pay attention to the Kingdom of Beresseryl on the outskirts, and all continental powers would praise the Kingdom of Beresseryl for bringing down the evil god’s forces.  

“Could it be… They…”

The trembling Count Maberuff wanted to deny his thoughts.  

“Yes, that’s right.”  

But the being before his eyes did not deny it.  

Rather, he affirmed it.

“They will make the Kingdom of Beresseryl legendary.”  

“Ugh.”

Hectare’s words made Count Maberuff grit his teeth.

To become legendary sounded nice when heard.   

But legends were not stories of the living.  

Stories passed down verbally about the past.  

That’s right.  

Legends referred to those who no longer existed.

“The heroes were defeated several times by the evil god’s forces. The Religions they belonged to as well. The allied kingdoms aren’t even worth mentioning.” 

“The Empire…”

“The Empire won. Only the Empire achieved complete victory. So they likely do not want others’ victories.”

“Ah…”

None of them wanted victory for themselves. 

Understanding that, Count Maberuff nearly lost his mind for a moment.

“For them, there is no benefit in striking down the evil god troops. All credit will go to the Beresseryl Kingdom that has been fighting the evil god troops up till now.”

As a human being, he knew how dangerous the evil god was. 

So he knew all too well that the envoy of the Demon King and the troops of evil god that followed him had to be struck down.

However, as a nobleman, 

He also knew all too well how important the interests of the kingdom and fame on the continent were.

That’s why he could understand what Hectare was trying to say.

“They… Are waiting for us to be destroyed?”

“Yes, that’s right.”

All the pieces were coming together. 

The reason why they don’t attack the evil god troops despite having hundreds of thousands of troops.

It was because the Beresseryl Kingdom wanted the evil god troops to annihilate each other.

“……”

Count Maberuff could not say anything.

He needed stability in mind and body after receiving too great a shock.

“I have an alternative plan.”

“An, alternative plan?”

“Yes.”

To Count Maberuff in such a state, Hectare began to whisper urgently in a very secretive voice.  

“The best move to resolve this whole situation!”

“What, what is it?”

“It’s…”

Making sure no one else could hear, Hectare starts whispering his alternative plan to Count Maberuff.

Hectare, honored elder of the dwarves, with evil hands.

It was the moment when his evil hands began to reach out to the Beresseryl Kingdom.
