140 – Downfall (4)
[I heard the news that the Demon King’s army is running a winning streak on the battlefield. I couldn’t even take a break because I was carrying supplies every day, but I feel like my body and mind are recovering every time I hear the news of victory. I hope the demon king’s army conquers this land soon.
And I want to bring my family to this land and say it confidently. He said that his father contributed to the victory of the demon lord. In this land, our demon army fought more courageously than anyone else.]
“They are so annoying. mister.”
It was as Lena said. Since he was ghostwriting his loyalty to the Demon King’s Army, it felt really strange. He was a worker in the Demon King’s Army as a worker carrying supplies, but judging from the fact that he talked about the Demon King’s grace at the end of his words, it seemed that he was a Demonic tribe that was infested with Demonic energy to the very marrow.
“I don’t know how a guy like this could betray the demon lord. It’s not even a combat position in the first place.”
“That’s right, uncle. Please continue. I want to read more.”
I turned the page to the next one at her request.
[There is a rumor going around about a Hero party. It is said that they are heinous guys who brutally kill the commanders of the Demon King’s army and commit terrorism. I heard that several demon commanders have already died because of the cowardly surprise attack, but I still believe that Damon-sama will solve it somehow. Because the demons and the demon king are invincible.]
“Oh, did you come up with our names? In our demon tribe, they were marked as very bad guys from the beginning.”
“At the point when rumors spread to the inside, it must have been when we were very active. Judging by the date, it seems that rumors spread roughly around the time Kiberes was captured.”
“If the commander had been replaced at this time, would something have changed?”
I nodded.
“It would have been different. Even if the hero was strong, if they had changed their strategy from the beginning and changed their front line, there would be no way to do it with the power of the kingdom army.”
“But inside, it seems that Damon was judged to be a pretty decent person. Seeing that you trusted me until now.”
“Wouldn’t there be succession issues or other complicated circumstances involved? I heard that he was the son of the devil king, but he couldn’t even bring up the word to throw him away. I never would have thought that the charter would be destroyed this far.”
“I should say thank you to Damon.”
“When the war is over, we will at least hold a ancestral rite. Damon will be delighted too.”

None of the prostitutes has ever risen to a higher position than Damon, so he will be happy too. I said a prayer for Damon and then turned the page again.
[They said that Prince Damon had passed away. It is said that a cowardly and dirty slut named Kebereth betrayed Prince Damon by turning his eyes to the hero. She had a good family and even became the daughter-in-law of the Demon King family, but what was she lacking in that she betrayed her? Aren’t you ashamed to receive the grace of the Demon King and eat it?
Because of this news, Mawangseong was vicious for a while. We used to joke around, but we kept talking to the extreme and only worked, and when drinking, curses about Kiberes came out. bad year. A f*cking year without knowing grace. f*ck bitch.]
“There is a lot of hate. Do you really not care what you did to humans?”
“What will you do? It’s only a request from someone who can expect reflection. Even if I talk about mistakes to those who are destined to live and die like this, they won’t understand.”
“Poor you. That is more miserable.”
I nodded. It felt like spitting in my face when I inadvertently brought up the story of my mistakes. When I suddenly shut my mouth, Lena looked around without continuing the conversation.
After that, the dark stories continued. The Demon King’s army was defeated. Greta died. Stauffen came up, but it’s not reliable. Etc., etc., the dissatisfaction with the Demon King’s army, which was revealed little by little at first, appeared in more and more specific and detailed descriptions.
[Today, my colleague, who was blaming Prince Damon, was arrested. It is said that he is scheduled to be executed tomorrow for the crime of disobeying the Demon King. On the battlefield, it is said that Stauffen was defeated by Cayberes and retreated. Where did I go wrong? I believed in the demon king and came down, but I believed that the demon king army was invincible, but the only news I heard from the surroundings was a bad news.
The atmosphere here carrying supplies is so dark. All of them are on edge and will fight or grab you by the collar at the slightest deviation. scary. I wish I hadn’t come here. It would have been better if I didn’t know, to see something like this.]
[A new porter came in today. He is said to be a wounded man without an arm. They say that he entered the Material Transportation Department to serve the country even with an injured body, but when he gets bored, he gets annoyed by saying useless things that he didn’t do on the battlefield.
Still, I heard a few interesting stories. It seems that plans to receive new troops through the portal are secretly going back and forth. Since they have been losing battles lately, it is said that it is a story that goes back and forth inside the castle, but he proudly said that he was able to overhear it because he had a good ear.
It seems that he has lost his mind after rolling for a long time on the battlefield.]
“… Troop support?”
Lena widened her eyes. I also clicked my tongue. I don’t know how they will be supported with troops, but it was hopeless to hear this kind of talk.
If you think about it, it was also a story that should be doubted.
Because the number of troops was too small.
There’s no way the guys who have been repeating expeditionary invasions for so many years that we can’t count have only this amount of troops, can’t they? Even a kingdom that has grown in population from a small piece of land for several hundred years can still produce a military force equivalent to that of an expeditionary force. How much land did the demons eat during those years, and how many more demons grew up on that land?
The fact that there was a separate main unit also meant that if we didn’t spurt from now on, more units would come out and the game could start again.
It is an irrational starting point.

Neither our stamina nor the dead return, but it is such an origin that only their troops increase indefinitely.
“…Isn’t this dangerous news?”
“…..It’s dangerous news, but it’s not that hopeless.”
Lena cast a look at me demanding an answer. But I couldn’t answer her question. I said looking at her instead.
“…trust me. I can’t explain it, but the kind of emergency that Lena-sama thinks won’t happen in a short time. There are restrictions on how they can use the portals.”
“How do you know that, uncle? I heard you were already outside the capital before that?”
“Believe me. I can only say this now.”
What kind of expression was I making at that time? With what kind of expression did he beg Lena to make her look surprised with her eyes wide open? And, after laughing with a sorrowful and sad expression on his own, did he just nod his head and believe me?
“…If you say so, I’ll believe you.”
And why is she hugging me and saying this?
“Instead, should I tell you the truth when it’s all over? All. Because I’m fine.”
I took her hand and started to interpret the text again. I couldn’t see her face, so I kept my head down.
[It is said that the troops are insufficient. Now they’re taking the kids from the Material Transportation Department and making them fight. I came here to fight, but I came here on a mission to transport supplies, so how can I push you to the battlefield? When we refused to fight, a guy who looked like a commander came and hit our leader on the head.
Because they hit me with an iron club. The leader was speechless and his head was crushed. he yelled at us We are also proud members of the demon tribe, how could we think of running away instead of fighting? The demons lose because of parasites like you who only rely on the glory of the demons and have no intention of contributing.
But I don’t want to fight I heard that the Hero party raped and beat the demons to death, and brutally tortured them. It is said that the kingdom’s hatred for the demons exploded, and they began to slaughter them wherever they went. It’s so scary. I don’t want to go to the battlefield.]
[The distribution has changed from today. I started giving them different foods, not the original diet. I received a few pills as nutritional supplements. When I ate it, my head went blank and I felt better. Talomé stole and ate things from others. There were some guys who didn’t eat it because it was suspicious, but most of them accepted it.
I was hungry too, so I decided to eat. When I get stronger, I will go to the battlefield, but I am worried.
I want to see my family.]
[Today, in the Material Transportation Department, Talomé suddenly started screaming and running amok. Within a few days, his body grew rapidly, his teeth and nails grew, and he started scratching the surroundings randomly and screaming. Demon soldiers grabbed him and disappeared.
My body also strangely seemed to have grown a little longer. The letters don’t stand out well. I can’t remember, but nutrients come out again. I eat it because it is delicious.]
After that, the date suddenly skipped weeks.
Very urgent and clear writing appeared.
[You have to run away. This is not a nutritional supplement. Tomorrow we decided to run away together. It will escape from the devil’s hand. for freedom.]
The diary ended here. When I closed the book, there was a sound of wind blowing somewhere.
“Ahahahaha… . ha ha… !”
Lena was laughing. I couldn’t stand the sneering and laughing, so I closed the diary and started laughing.
Our laughter echoed through the lab.
Laughing, I brushed my hair. Lena shook her head frantically while holding my shoulder. We muttered while making eye contact.
“You are laughing.”
