Why I Quit Being the Demon King Chapter 193

44. A young lion dreams (3)

The warrior Sparky looked at Lexia with gentle eyes and asked.

“What on earth happened?”

“We were attacked on the way. “I let my guard down because I thought we were following the main road.”

“It seems like the chain of security has been broken. This is because each country has recruited soldiers to its limits. Didn’t

the Kingdom of Gelon dispatch 30% of its military power here ?”

“I already heard about it.”

Sparky treated Regin as an invisible person and continued his conversation with Lexia.

“Isn’t the Holyoke family an old and famous family in Gelon? “I heard that you were recognized as a D-class warrior family by the Holy Emperor.”

“yes. Thankfully, they did.”

“But unfortunately, you have no children… “If I die in this war,

I will

inherit the family name from the Holy Oak family’s collateral line .”

“Don’t worry. “I will protect you!”

Sparky shouted while pounding his chest.

Lexia smiled and lowered her head.

“Thank you for your words. Mr. Sparky, I’m exhausted from the long journey, so I’d like you to go to your accommodation and rest.”

“this! I acted carelessly. Ride our family’s horse. “I will personally guide you to the barracks.”

“Thank you for your kindness, but for now I would like to be with the group. “I just

made a statement.”

Sparky glanced back at Regin.

“ah! “Someone said this… Isn’t it Les O Paladin?”

Without responding to her greeting, Regin got on his horse and spoke to Lexia.

“I only have one horse.”

Lexia jumped and got on Regin’s back.

“It’s a strong horse, so one more person will be fine.”

Although she was now wearing the clothes of a saint, Lexia trained as a warrior for a long time.

It was nothing like getting on a horse.

Regin kicked the stirrup. I don’t care whether Lexia falls or not.

As the horse shook violently, Lexia hugged Regin’s waist tightly.

Several minutes passed in silence.

Before we knew it, we had arrived near a place where military barracks were concentrated.

Regin stopped talking. Lexia let go of her hand that was holding his waist.

“thank you.”

Regin didn’t even respond to her words.

The horse turned its head and headed towards its own barracks. Then, thinking that the woman was still there, I stopped in my tracks.

There is no place to dwell in this wide world.

“Sister…

That’s why I wanted to get it back.

His one and only guardian angel, Signy Le,

warriors, knights, warriors, and soldiers from all over the world gathered together.

The army numbered one million.

Although it included slaves and uncivilized people, the total number of people was roughly equivalent to a few percent of humanity.

The large number began to advance.

It was the fallen warriors who stood at the forefront.

If nothing had happened, Zeke would have been in the procession too.

What they needed was a bit of a major.

His skills are around B level.

Or even C level and contract level. They were truly the bottom of the Dragon Four Worlds.

The vanguard, as always, was the most dangerous.

The stronger the enemy’s brunt, the greater the damage suffered on this side.

In the past, the strongest among the warriors took the lead, but because the damage was too great, everyone began to avoid them.

Those positions were filled by warriors from poor families.

Even though it was a dog’s death, Seonghwangcheong bought the vanguard’s major at a high price.

D- or G-class warrior families who should have died originally are sending generous tributes to their corpses.

The army moved along the road leading to the Demon World.

What unfolded before the warriors was a spiral corridor.

It was a snake-like road winding around the outer wall of a huge pillar about 10 kilometers high.

An army of a million came down the road.

There was no way the demons wouldn’t notice.

The winged ones were the first to attack the human army.

A group of giant scarabs led by Osis the Greeder attacked a group of humans

.

It was the White Dragon Division that fought against the demons.

With the support of the wizards, he fought a valiant battle against insects that looked like humans.

Neither side suffered any significant damage.

Osyth’s insect army had to be content with delaying its advance for only a few hours.

Although the humans coming down the narrow path were generally at a disadvantage, the demons

did not have a particular advantage.

Because it was so high up, it was not easy to fly and attack it directly.

There were no weapons that could reach the 10-kilometer-high corridor.

We came down most of the pillar in just two days.

As we went down, the road became wider and wider.

The place where the human army arrived was only tens of kilometers away from the deepest part of the Demon World.

Cadenza halted his advance there.

This was because they discovered that the army of the Demon World was stationed about 200 meters below.

The place where the human army stopped was on a corridor about 400 meters above the ground.

The spiral corridor, about 40 meters wide, became a fortress in itself.

A temporary castle wall was created by filling bags with dirt.

The Demon World was now only about 2 kilometers along the road.

The war started now.

We solidified our positions and prepared for battle.

Meanwhile, the vanguards were dealing with the demon army.

In just a few hours, 10 warriors and 1,000 soldiers were killed.

But their deaths could not fill a single report.

Because tomorrow, several times that number of people will die.

The leaders of the military gathered together.

The Demon World Expeditionary Force named itself Ascaron.

The secret society within Seonghwangcheong was the main force in this war.

Now that the dream had become a reality, there was no longer any reason to hide the name of the unit.

The people currently around Cadenza were the leaders of each kingdom’s elite knights and D-rank warriors.

There were currently about 30 D-class warrior families around the world.

Among them, there were 9 Zodiac Knights, so there are about 20 remaining.

The fifth generation warriors are not yet old enough to participate in this war.

The main force was the 4th generation warriors

.

It was true that his power was inferior, but as long as he had the angel’s protection, the difference was minimal.

“The devil has not yet revealed himself.”

The cadenza rhymed like this.

“The enemy’s army is not as large as we thought. “I don’t know the exact reason, but the current demon power is clearly weaker than past records.”

Oridon took his horse.

“Or we are strong!”

“Maybe so.”

Meanwhile, among the dozens of commanders, there was someone wearing a hood.

Everyone seemed curious because he didn’t show his face, but Cadenza ignored their curiosity and continued talking.

“There was no advantage to either side fighting on this high pillar, so they also formed a defensive position below. This is the first battlefield, and only by winning here can our army advance.”

The leader of the White Dragon Knights, Sharkel von Fankpan,

was currently wearing a bandage on his forearm.

He suffered a minor injury in the battle while descending the pillar.

“I do not mean to complain about your operation, Commander-in-Chief, but… this is a narrow piece of land, only about 40 meters wide. Since there is no place for an army of 1 million to deploy its troops, it seems difficult to open a path leading to the enemy in a short period of time. On the other hand, logistics became infinitely longer. “It is not usually difficult

for carts loaded with food to travel along this 10-kilometer-high pillar .”

Cadenza just listened to Director Shar Kel’s words without any response.

Because of the burden of his gaze, Sharkel’s voice lowered its tone.

“Please don’t take offense. However, I am giving you advice that if we cannot break through the barrier created by the demons as soon as possible, our military may be in a difficult situation. This place is only about 400 meters above the ground. “It’s a short distance that can be reached with just flying magic.”

Cadenza asked.

“Is that all?”

” yes?”

“I’m asking if that’s the only thing you’re worried about.”

“Yes…

“I think it is the right concern for an army commander.”

“Yes.”

“But we are not an army. The warrior is the representative of God. “An angel is showering protection from heaven.”

The group of lights illuminating the army followed them all the way to the land of the demons.

From warriors to slaves. If it weren’t for that light, I would have had to experience much greater pain in enduring the extreme environment of the Demon World.

“That’s right.”

Cadenza smiled.

“I have someone to introduce to you.”

As soon as he finished speaking, the person standing next to him lifted his hood.

People didn’t know who he was.

However, because he was a man with a very beautiful appearance, everyone was left with exclamations of admiration.

“Who is he?”

A handsome man who took off his hood answered Director Sharkel’s question.

“My name is Zwickl. “I am the Lord of the Red Jade Mirror.”

Zwickl, Lord of the Red Dragons!

Even more than his appearance, his identity had a bigger impact.

He said.

“By God’s will, from this moment on, we dragons will support the human army.”

Yulgeum had to think for a while about why he was in front of her.

“Scatiel.”

“Yulgeum, it’s been a while.”

“I never thought I’d see you again.”

Yulgeum looked around.

A space confined by a barrier… This was a sacred place.

However, it was not a space created by Yulgeum. That means it is the Lord of Scatiel.

“The devil is right in front of you, and you are so good at using these remnants.”

“This time, the Demon King is bold, so he won’t care. Yulgeum

will think that the dragon tribe has come to visit.”

“Did Michael send you here?”

“Yes, that’s right.”

“What else? “There won’t be many occasions for an angel to talk to Jin Geum-yong.”

“It’s no big deal. “I just want to spread His word as the Lord’s representative.”

“delegate?”

Scatiel held out a roll of parchment.

Yulgeum took it and unfolded it. The character Cheon (?) appeared between her eyebrows.

“What kind of trick is this?”

“It’s a trick.”

“What are you thinking Michael? Are you planning on becoming God’s representative in the next century?”

“You mean like you who ended the Age of Gold? Or Lucifer, who ended the Silver Age.”

“Scatiel!”

“Lord of the crown. Now lead the large army of dragons and subdue the demons. Just as you destroyed the giants, purify the weeds that swarm under the earth.”

“They are not bugs.”

“It’s a bug. They are also like cockroaches

. I just let it live and breathe for a while because I needed it. “We don’t need it anymore, so we should get rid of it.”

“No need?”

“yes. Didn’t you, the owner of the crown, see it yourself?”

“What!”

“This place. The Earth has been purified. 30,000 years earlier than we calculated. In that case, the land should be returned to humans. That is the will of our Lord.”

“God…

“He’s benevolent’?”

Scottiel bowed his head.

“You know better than to say that. Because they violated His will, all mankind except Noah’s family perished in the water. Is there no need to talk about Sodom and Gomorrah? This is what you also did. Didn’t humans wake up the dragon and destroy them because they didn’t listen to the voice of the Lord? I never thought they would take out the core that was sealed thousands of years ago to fight the dragon.”
