149 – Is this what it is?
The Pope recognizes what she means by Elias’ words.
As a result, he pondered for a while and, as she said, calmly calculated his profit and loss.
‘exactly… There is some truth in that woman’s words. The national power of our elven kingdom is really facing its limits.’
Until now, they had been dragged in somehow with the help of the Suin-guk, but considering the problems including the cleanup of the newly occupied territory, it had reached a really dangerous level now.
In the event that the country literally collapsed from indigestion, the situation could come, and if the Falcon Empire counterattacked in a large scale, there was a risk of suffering rather large losses.
‘I’ve come this far, but I can’t ignore the national power of that Falcon Empire. Right now, thanks to the advantage of attacking from both sides, I’m not able to respond well, but they’re not going to collapse like this.’
There, as Elias said. If the elven kingdom now declares that it will end the war at this point in accordance with the will of the demon kingdom, the diplomatic risk that the elven kingdom will bear will inevitably be reduced considerably.
Since there is no one who doesn’t know that the Kingdom has already become a vassal state of the Demon Kingdom, following their instructions is something that can be taken for granted.
Of course, in this case, it would be the Demon Kingdom that would be criticized, but in the first place, there was no reason to care about this from their point of view, which is still hostile to other countries except the Gyo-guk.
after you’ve done that calculation.
“… okay Certainly, as a vassal state, it would not be possible to go against the will of His Majesty the Demon King. According to that will, the elven kingdom will stop the war from this time on.”
The Pope looked at the demon corps commander in front of him and nodded slowly and replied.
And, seeing him like this.
Elias put a deep smile on his lips and slightly bowed his head.
“Thank you for your wise judgment, Your Majesty.”

“… does this work?”
A letter in Cassandra’s hand.
Seeing the story of the elven kingdom’s escape from the war contained in it, Cassandra couldn’t hide her surprise.
‘I couldn’t believe it, but to really think that the elven kingdom fell out of the war… No matter how much I became a vassal, I really didn’t expect those arrogant elves to act like this.’
From Cassandra’s point of view, who could only guess that the internal situation of the elven kingdom was not very good, their full-scale attack was unexpectedly accepted in many ways.
However, no matter how she felt, the elven kingdom was actually strengthening its defenses without advancing any further.
Accordingly, Suin-guk also began to show the appearance of sneaking out without making a reckless advance.
‘then… Now there is only one thing left.’
The country of elves and country of beasts felt like daggers pointed at the back of the head.
Now that they have stopped the war, from now on, the Falcon Empire is completely engaged in a fight against the greatest enemy in front of them…
I was able to focus on the war against the Nation of Darkness.
‘Wait and see, these filthy Nation of Darkness… I will make you realize what the cost of betraying your people is.’

“I’m sorry.”
“It’s hard.”
“… ”
“Oh, this is delicious too, as expected, there are many great foods in the Falcon Empire.”
“Woof woof!”
Amelda and Terra are continuing their meal in front of their eyes with a bit of a voracious feeling.
It was not simply food distributed by the military, but a deep feeling of happiness was felt in their appearance of eating a lot of private meals that they had robbed themselves of their own money.
However, at this moment.
A figure sitting silently across from them.
For Rich Eileen.
The scene of this happy meal being shown in front of his eyes was approaching a scene like torture that was so terrible.
‘I want to eat… I’m hungry… I’m in pain… ‘
Food that everyone knows what it tastes like while living as citizens of the Empire.
However, because of that, Eirin couldn’t help but feel the deep pain of her own state of not being able to eat them even while looking at them.
‘iced coffee… Wouldn’t it be nice if I could at least taste a piece of that pie?’
In fact, it was Eileen who couldn’t stand it anymore and put the pie on the table in her mouth and chewed it, but the result was very disappointing.
What you feel is the dull sensation of cutting something with your jawbone.
I didn’t feel any taste at all, and the shards of the pie that had been cut in that way just fell to the floor through the empty jawbone.
In that way, Eileen clearly realized that she had become a body that was absolutely unable to eat.
Eileen tried to get up from her seat, feeling so terrible despondency and pain about this situation in which the basic rights of living things were literally deprived.
By the way…
“Where are you going Eileen? Did you forget what the warrior said? I told you to wait in this barracks until he returns. Are you sure you don’t intend to break the order?”
“Rurrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr. .”
“… sorry.”
At Amelda’s words, as she finally sat back down, Eileen tried to look away and try to avoid this cruel scene in front of her by any means.
‘really… How did it end up like this?… How did I… Has it become such a miserable situation?…’

The Falcon Empire army began to gather in Macedonia.
Looking at the 30,000-strong army at least, I could feel once again the fact that the national power of the empire is great in many ways.
‘Even in this situation, such an army… Indeed, the Falcon Empire. Is the continent’s strongest country different?’
The Falcon Empire, which was really troublesome when it was an enemy, but felt quite reassuring when it became an ally.
Rеаd at ոоbӏеmtӏ.соm
Meanwhile, apart from the imperial army filling the castle like that, my gaze began to turn to the soldiers of the Nation of Darkness approaching this way from beyond.
Its army numbered around 20,000.
Considering that the defense side has an advantage over the attacking side in general, it could be said that they are at a disadvantage in the battle itself, but looking at the inside story, it was not like that again.
Unlike the Falcon Empire’s army, which had an absolute majority of infantry, among the soldiers of the Nation of Darkness, there were many high-class witches.
Unlike the Imperial Army, which mainly uses tactics of pushing through numbers based on its huge population. In the case of the Nation of Darkness, each soldier was elite and preferred a battle in which the maximum efficiency was extracted with a small number.
In that respect, even though the size of the two forces may be quite different, the difference in actual power is not so great.
In that respect, I was aware that it was our job to overturn that pendulum.
‘The scale of our Demon Kingdom’s troops who came to this place is not even a handful. However… Each of them is strong enough to slaughter ordinary soldiers, so if you use them well, you’ll be able to achieve good results.’
Although it is said to be a fake, since it is a body that came out in the name of the demon king, it should definitely show outstanding performance.
In order to publicize the majesty of the Demon Kingdom, as well as to achieve the next goal that I personally hoped for, I had to make outstanding achievements in this war.
That’s how I was thinking about what to do here.
“Your Majesty the Demon King.”
“yes?”
The next moment, I turned around at the sudden voice calling me.
*
“Thank you for being with us, Your Majesty.”
A person who speaks with a voice that feels polite towards me.
Helen, the strongest general in the empire and the current leader of the imperial army here in Macedonia, began to smile on her uniquely beautiful face.
“There’s nothing to be thankful for. Even though I’m in the position of ruling a country, since the commander here is the commander-in-chief, it’s natural for me to respond.”
I felt like I wanted to praise myself for acting naturally, like flowing water, even though I was a substitute for the demon king, who was not even in my life.
I said looking at Helene, who seemed strangely nervous.
“So, why did the commander-in-chief call me?”
“Yes, actually, there is one thing I would like to ask of Your Majesty before the battle.”
“Please. If it’s the commander-in-chief’s orders on this battlefield, you’ll have to follow them. What is it?”
Naturally, I accepted her request, thinking that she would bring up a story related to the war.
By the way…
“Yes, if that is the case… ”
“?”
The next moment, Helene shows some hesitation and starts to take a break for a while.
In response, I began to question and a little apprehensive about just how difficult the mission she was going to be.
‘If you ask too much, of course I’ll refuse… It’s not very nice to have a relationship with the commander-in-chief like this.’
When I thought about that, I automatically started to frown slightly.
Helene spoke to me in a voice full of spirit, as if she had made up her mind for something serious.
“your majesty! If you don’t mind, would you mind sparring with me?”
“… Eh?”
