Episode 185 Demon King (1)
bang-.
The armrests were lowered to the point where the bell rang loudly.
Anger was reflected in each of the emperor’s gestures, eyes, and facial expressions, and the major and minor officials who faced him quickly lowered their heads.
And the blood drained from the face of Marquis Samuel, the person in charge of this matter and the person with the most information.
The emperor’s angry voice rang out at him.
“How did this happen!”
“Your Majesty… … .”
“Didn’t you say there was definitely no problem!”
“Yes, that’s right.”
“But why is that group of monsters coming towards our land!”
“Whoa, we’re trying to figure out the cause.”
Without even being able to wipe the cold sweat from his forehead, Marquis Samuel simply bowed his head deeply.
That was the best he could do.
‘how… ‘Where did it all go wrong?’
There were no problems with the plan.
Even the results were very satisfactory.
However, what was currently happening was full of things that did not make sense to him.
If everything had gone according to plan, the Snow King and the monsters should have devastated the Kingdom of Kanburg… … .
‘Monsters just pass by even when they see humans!’
Does this make any sense?
While Marquis Samuel was just lowering his head, the emperor’s low voice was heard again.
“We are figuring it out? So when are we going to get the results?”
“That is… … .”
“Will I bring it only after that group of monsters steps on my land?”
“Oh, no!”
“Come find out. “Why are monsters passing by the land of Kanburg? Why are they rushing toward my land instead of that place?”
“Well, I will.”
“We will definitely have to find out. otherwise… Your head will fall off.”
“… … ?!”
Marquis Samuel’s eyes widened.
Even though it was unreasonable, there was no order so unreasonable.
But I couldn’t protest.
Just keep your head down and take care of yourself.
The only way for him to survive was to somehow get what the emperor wanted.
“My name…” “I will follow.”
Marquis Samuel retreated with a pale face.
The emperor, who was watching this, turned his gaze to his surroundings.
Imperial nobles lined up on both sides, left and right.
Originally, the story about the Kingdom of Kanburg and the Snow King was known only to a few nobles.
However, the situation is such that it cannot be hidden any longer.
The expressions of the gathered nobles who heard the news early in the morning were stiff.
The emperor asked them a question.
“What do you think?”
There was silence for a moment in response to the emperor’s question.
Then, an old man with a light beard took a step forward and opened his mouth.
“your majesty.”
“Speak, Chief Magistrate of the Palace.”
“In this old man’s opinion, it seems like all of this is happening because of the Snow King.”
“That sounds too obvious.”
“That’s right. It’s obvious. But it’s not that obvious.”
“Isn’t it obvious?”
“From past literature, it is said that the Snow King’s intelligence far exceeds that of ordinary monsters. The Snow King is also the one who controls and moves the large army of monsters. In other words, what is happening now is what the Snow King is doing. If he is just passing through Canburg and coming to our Empire, that means he has a purpose.”
“It’s a purpose for monsters and such… … .”
“As I said before, the Snow King should not be treated as just a monster.”
“So what should we do?”
“for now… “We need to know what the Snow King wants.”
“Do you mean to ask the monster what it wants?”
“If there is no other solution, we should do it that way.”
The emperor’s eyes fell on Marquis Samuel as he heard the story of the court magistrate.
“Did you hear that, Marquis?”
“Yes, that’s right.”
“What should you do?”
“We will find out what the Snow King’s purpose is. If you don’t find out… “I will find out its purpose even if it means confronting him in person.”
“Do it.”
Marquis Samuel lowered his head and gritted his teeth.
Breaking through an army of 80,000 monsters and facing the Snow King meant walking into a dangerous situation.
But now I had to say something like this.

Only then will you and your family be safe.
While Marquis Samuel bowed his head, another person took a step forward and faced the emperor.
“Your Majesty, would you please allow the Major General to speak?”
“Speak, Joan.”
Joan Dolian.
Born into a family of baronets, he was a man of great standing who rose to the rank of marquis through his own might.
A swordsman who has reached the highest level of water attribute tier 2.
A swordsman who is usually brave, but when entering battle, he cuts off the enemy’s head more coolly and calmly than ever.
Therefore, those who knew him called Hoan a cold bear, and he, still in his mid-40s, was later called the next best swordsman of the empire.
Additionally, Hoan was the division commander in charge of the Imperial Eastern Division.
After the emperor’s permission was given, a calm voice flowed from Huan.
“No matter what the Snow King’s purpose is, what we know right now is that a large army of 80,000 is flocking towards our empire. However, it is difficult to deal with that large army with the forces of the eastern part of the county alone.”
That was correct.
As for the Eastern Division, it has about 20,000 people.
Of course, if a siege was waged in the fortress, it would have enough power to fight an 80,000-strong army, but it could not be assumed that the monsters would simply conduct a siege.
This was proven by the 100,000 Snow King Corps that appeared in the past.
Rather than a castle built by humans, an army of monsters roamed the continent in a plain that was advantageous to them.
It was not for nothing that the empire of the past collapsed due to their antics.
The emperor asked, resting his chin on Joan’s story.
“so?”
“We must establish a cordon on the border before those monster hordes can set foot on your land. So… “Please approve the conscription order.”
No sooner had Marquis Joan’s story ended than a disturbance spread everywhere.
The emperor frowned at this and hit the armrest again.
“Be quiet.”
The emperor, who immediately put the crowd to sleep, looked at Huan, who was proudly standing towards him, and asked.
“How many troops do you want?”
“Please allow the conscription of an additional 30,000 men.”
“Is 50,000 enough to stop them?”
“That’s right.”
“hmm… … .”
While the emperor was pondering, the court magistrate intervened.
“Their number is twice the number of troops you want. According to past literature, to deal with the Snow King’s monsters, you will need at least twice as many troops.”
Hoan sneered at the story of the palace magistrate.
“It’s a document from the past… “Palace Master, it wasn’t 1,200 years ago.”
“… … .”
“Do not compare the training methods, military skills, and tactics of our Dominant Empire’s warriors with those of the empire that collapsed only 1,200 years ago.”
“hmm… … .”
“Also, we have a transcendental period that did not exist 1,200 years ago. If it’s my White Bear Army, I can stop them with 50,000 troops… No, we can annihilate you.”
The court magistrate remained silent at Huan’s story, and the other nobles nodded.
As Marquis Joan said, now is not 1,200 years ago.
The training methods and tactics that humans have accumulated and passed down over the generations have developed incomparably compared to the past.
There was clearly a lot of difference from 1,200 years ago.
Moreover, the transcendental weapon, called a strategic weapon, shines more in large-scale wars than in person-to-person battles.
On the battlefield, a 4th grade transcendental machine can play the role of dozens of 3rd tier warriors rather than an ordinary 3rd tier warrior.
To ordinary soldiers who could not use elemental powers, what was more frightening than a tier 3 warrior was a huge lump of iron armor that could not be penetrated by a spear knife.
When the court magistrate withdrew without saying anything to Marquis Joan’s story, the emperor waved his hand.
“Conscription is permitted.”
“Next time I stop by the Islands, I will definitely bring the Snow King’s head.”
“I’m not looking forward to it, Joan. And Samuel.”
“yes!”
“Tell Juan immediately all the information you learn.”
“I will!”
The situation in Daejeon was settled, and each department of the empire began to move quickly for war.
There were about 14 days left until the Snow King’s army reached the empire.
A conscription order was issued in the name of the Emperor to the eastern part of the Dominant Empire, and troops from numerous noble families came to the Eastern Command.
* * *
20,000 eastern elites of the Dominant Empire.
1,000 Baekgommudan.
The 300th class 4th grade transcendental unit belonging to the White Bear Iron Dance Troupe.
The 40th class of the 3rd grade transcendental unit belonging to the White Bear Iron Dance Troupe.
7 second-class transcendental aircraft, including the corps commander’s exclusive aircraft.
There were 30,000 noble soldiers gathered there by conscription order.
1,500 unauthorized bodyguards belonging to local nobles
700 4th grade transcendental units belonging to local nobles.
20th level 3rd grade transcendental belonging to local nobles.
In total, there were 50,000 soldiers and 2,500 escorts.
Until the transcendence of over 1,000 episodes.
This was the force finally gathered at the Eastern Command when the conscription order ended.
Just the scale of the power gathered in the eastern region made it clear why the Dominant was called an empire.
Time goes by.
A scout who had gone out of the camp brought news that a large army of monsters had reached only two days away.
Meanwhile, Marquis Joan was receiving a report from his aide.
“Two days away… Are you ready?”
“The military organization has been completed, but local nobles are continuing to request favors from officials.”
“A request?”
“To be exact, this is a request from nobles who possess the Transcendence Spirit. “We ask them to send their transcendental planes to the front lines.”
What nobles staying in the provinces wanted most was to advance into the system.
No matter how much a lord could fly and crawl in the countryside, he was just a powerless aristocrat in the countryside in front of the institutional nobles.
Therefore, this war was an opportunity for local nobles.
Established a major and entered the system.
Based on this, he entered central politics.
In order not to miss an opportunity that may come again at any time, local nobles continue to ask middle-ranking officials for favors.
Hoan, who knew the situation well, sighed.
“… “Is this because it is a war that everyone has won?”
Even though an army of 80,000 monsters came right in front of us, there was no particular tension in the Eastern Command.
From nobles to lowly soldiers.
They all thought that this war was not a war but a simple monster subjugation.
In particular, the nobles were only interested in accumulating major points by cutting off the heads of more monsters in front of them.
Hoan said with a sneer.
“Tell the executives to eat in moderation and listen to whatever they want. “There is no reason to refuse when they say they will reduce the damage to the military on their own.”
“All right.”
The aide gave a brief greeting and left the barracks.
Marquis Joan, left alone, muttered lowly.
“Anyway, it’s like local stuff. “Do you think war is just a game?”
His eyes flashed as he growled lowly.
Despite what he said to the local nobles, there was actually no tension in his eyes.
He also believed that this war was a war that could not be lost.
* * *
Two days later, around dawn.
Puuuuu-.
At the sound of the long horn, all the troops of the Eastern Command moved in unison.
And across from them.
The Snow King’s legions appeared from the east, facing the rising sun.
“Wow, that’s a disgusting lot.”
“You mean those are all monsters?”
Even the soldiers who had been relaxed until the day before couldn’t help but become nervous after seeing the enormous number of monsters.
However, that tension disappeared as about 1,000 transcendental planes lined up in the front row.
Wow-.
The soldiers let out thunderous shouts as they watched the battle planes take up positions.
The various transcendental planes gathered by the nobles and the pride of the Eastern Command behind them, the transcendental planes of the White Gomcheolmudan.
The soldiers had no doubt that the monster horde would never get past the iron giants.
Thump-thump-.
And a transcendental aircraft equipped with a roaring bear head helmet appeared behind the 1,000 transcendental aircraft.
“It’s the division commander!”
“Invincible white bear!”
The soldiers cheered enthusiastically.
In response, the division commander’s plane raised a huge sword.
Clap-thump!
As he moved, the troops began to move.
Marquis Joan licked his lips as he looked at the Snow King’s army running towards him.
‘Welcome.’
Although he handed over the leadership to local nobles, he did not give up his major.
No, the person who was thirsty for a major more than anyone else was Joan Dolian.
Born into a family of baronets, the driving force behind his rise to the rank of marquis was his military skills.
‘If this ends well… … .’
If you can defeat an army of 80,000 monsters and take the Snow King’s head… … .
‘I will be able to take on the title of duke.’
That group of monsters will become a sacrifice for his own success.
‘hurry… ‘Come faster!’
He stared ahead with eyes full of greed and excitement.
1,000m.
900m.
800m.
700m.
The distance between the two camps gradually decreased.
The moment when their distance narrows to 300m and it wouldn’t be strange if they faced each other at any time.
“Light bulb… … ! huh?”
Marquis Joan was just about to issue an order to the entire army when something strange caught his eye.
‘That… … ?’
A comet-like light rose above the heads of the Snow King Legion and was flying toward their camp.
And that too at a very fast speed.
Flash-.
In an instant, the light flew in and fell on the center of the barracks, engulfing everyone.
and.
Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu… … .
Transcendental’s eyes lost their light.
“W-what is this?!”
Marquis Joan, who was surprised by the disabled Transcendental Machine, let out an expression of astonishment.
Such phenomena were occurring all over the battlefield.
“My transcendence!”
“Ooh, move! “Move!”
“what! what’s the matter!”
As more than a thousand transcendental planes all lost their light and fell silent, confusion broke out in the Eastern Command camp.
