Episode 108
Grat tried his best to appear calm, but he couldn’t help but feel his eyes tremble.
“What are you talking about…” “Raidran, Choi Hyun-seok, the saint. Didn’t you sell them all out?”
Hemis asked with a smile on his face.
Grat swallowed hard.
‘I have no choice but to push through. The moment you admit it, it’s over.’
If it is revealed that you have colluded with humans, you will surely die.
It was obvious that he would not just die, but would be tortured to death.
Here, you have to pretend you don’t know anything until the end.
There is no evidence anyway.
“Grat said, stroking his chin casually.
“No. Raidrun is currently on a secret mission, and Choi Hyun-seok and the saint suddenly ran away from the Gardak Castle and their whereabouts are unknown.” “Huh~ Is that so?”
“yes.”
Grat moved his eyes to briefly examine Hemis’s expression.
It’s all lips, so I can’t tell what he’s thinking.
“Ohhohohoho!”
Suddenly Hemis started laughing.
“Actually, I was just poking you. I’m glad it wasn’t you.” “Haha! Is that so?”
Grat laughed heartily.
‘This crazy bitch! There’s nothing else to stab!’
It seems like life expectancy has been reduced by about 100 years.
My heart, which was pounding like it was going to burst, gradually calms down.
“Then shall we go back soon?” “Yes, I will.”
Just as I was about to return to Gardrak Castle.
“Commander!”
“Oh my, Choi Hyun-seok?”
Choi Hyun-seok appeared.
Grat’s expression distorted for a moment, but soon returned as if nothing had happened.
“Wow!”
“Our little cutie is here too. It’s been a while.”
“Hmph!”
Bobo kept rubbing his head as if he was happy to see his owner after a long time.
Leaving behind the happy reunion, Raidrun approached Grat.
“Commander. I have completed my mission and returned.”
“Thank you for your hard work.”
He finished his report briefly without saying anything.
Grat could only nod silently.
‘Damn it! What the hell have you humans done! You said you were fully prepared!’
My insides are burning black.
Given the circumstances, it was clear that this guy Choi Hyun-seok had noticed something.
Otherwise, there would be no reason to run to Raidrun.
At that moment, Choi Hyun-seok and Grat’s eyes met.
‘Smile…?’
The corners of Choi Hyun-seok’s mouth slightly went up.
An expression that seems to say, ‘I know everything.’
Choi Hyun-seok, who had been smiling sinisterly, turned his head and looked at Hemis.
“Commander, I have something to tell you.”
“What is it?”
“It’s an important story… Excuse me.”
Choi Hyun-seok began to whisper something in Hemis’ ear.
Every time Choi Hyun-seok’s mouth moves, Grat’s heartbeat quickens in real time.
Choi Hyun-seok kept smiling while glancing at Grat.
‘That son of a bitch…!’
At that moment, Grat’s fist was clenched.
Hemis laughed loudly as the story ended.
“Ohhohoho! That’s fun. Yeah. That would be great.”
Is that fun? Do you think that would be good?
What are you talking about?
Grat’s eyes roll rapidly.
‘Did you talk about traps? Is there something I don’t know about? No. Calm down. There’s no evidence. You can’t kick me out as a division commander based on circumstantial evidence alone.’
Grat took a deep breath to calm his pounding heart.
“Swoop… hoo…”
Grat thinks.
There’s no need to panic.
Anyway, that guy doesn’t know anything.
Deputy Commander Geun-Ra-Duk, if you just keep your mouth shut, you can get through it.
“Grat. What are you doing?”
Hemis’ voice was heard.

When I raised my head, I saw people already far away.
“Go, go!”
Grat quickly chased after Hemis and his party.
“So~ I did. In this situation, wasn’t it a good thing that I didn’t wipe out the 2nd Corps? I said that, but the Demon King didn’t say anything.” “I see! As expected of the Corps Commander!”
“Ohhohohoho!”
Hemis was telling the story of what happened at the Demon King’s Castle.
Choi Hyun-seok kept praising Hemis with admiration.
“I too am angry and resentful about this situation! I cried and appealed to the Demon King, and he accepted my plea.” “As expected! As expected! It’s you, Commander!”
What kind of trivial thing is this that you are praising?
It was embarrassing for Grat to see how hard he tried to flatter her.
‘That guy. I didn’t like him from the beginning, but the more I look at him, the more annoyed he gets.’
At that moment, when Grat’s expression was frowning, Choi Hyun-seok’s eyes met his.
‘Smile…?’
Choi Hyun-seok smiled faintly.
Rachel, who was sitting on his shoulder, also smiled sinisterly.
“I, I’m going to kill you…!”
“Huh? What did you say?”
I almost swore without realizing it, but it went away when Hemis turned around.
“Well, I was just thinking about humans for a moment! Those damned bastards! How dare you set a trap!” “I see. Hohohoho!” “Yes! I’ll definitely get my revenge next time. Hahaha!”
Grat clutched his chest.
My heart is beating so fast my head feels like it’s pounding.
‘I’m going to die like this…’
He may have become the first demon to die from cardiac arrest due to arrhythmia.
***
After that, we returned to Gardrak Castle without any special events.
Grat collapsed on the ground, sweat pouring down his face.
“Whew… my heart…”
I was so nervous that I lost all my strength.
Because it was a moment when life depended on Hemis’s mood.
The tension was even higher because it came right after seeing the bloody demonstration of force.
“Oops, this is not the time!”
Grat looked around.
“Vice-Chief! Big Raduk! Where is the big Raduk!?”
At the commander’s call, the big sledgehammer came running out of breath.
Grat grabbed the big dwarf by the collar without warning.
“You. You weren’t going to stick your nose out, were you!?”
Although the question left out a lot of information, there was no problem understanding it.
“Oh, no! Really!”
“Are you sure?”
“Yes! The commander asked me a few questions, but I said I didn’t know anything about humans!”
Grat stared blankly at the large dam.
“Hmm…”
Of course, just looking at it like this doesn’t mean you know whether Big Raduk’s words are false or not.
I just want to float around a little more because I’m anxious.
“i get it.”
Gratto put down a big raduk.
“Get ready quickly. We need to get out of here as soon as possible.”
“yes!”
The deputy commander, Geun-Ra-Duk, ran out in a hurry.
One, as soon as I went out, he came back again.
“Hey, division commander!”
“What!?”
“The Commander is looking for you!”
***
Grat took a deep breath.
“Phew…”
There’s no need to be nervous.
It is clear that this is to hear reports on the battle.
Calm your trembling heart.
He knocked on the door of the division commander’s office that had once been his.
dripping.
“Come in~”
Permission is granted, and the door is opened cautiously.
At the same time, Grat’s expression hardened.
‘Why are those guys…’
Hemis was not alone.
Raidrun and Choi Hyun-seok were also there.
“What are you doing? You’re not coming in.”
“yes.”
Grat pretended nothing happened and closed the door and entered the office.
Hemis looked at Grat, running his long, thin fingers over her chin.
“What are you going to do from now on?”
Grat blinked.
What are you going to do if you call me out of the blue?
He opened his mouth carefully.
“What are you saying…” “Should we vacate the Gardrak Castle? Are you going to stay here?” “Oh, no! Haha! Of course. I was going to leave right away anyway!” “Oh~ I see. You must have something urgent to do?” “No! I should have followed the commander’s orders a long time ago and left, but I had to postpone it because of the sudden human air raid. I’m sorry!”
Grat bent his waist at a 90 degree angle.
Hemis waved his hand as if it was nothing to worry about.
“No. You can leave now. But Grat.”
“yes.”
“There seem to be a lot of communication ports in this division commander’s office?”
The corners of Hemis’ mouth slightly rise.
A cold sweat ran down Grat’s back.
“Sat, are you talking about the telecommunications facility?”
“Yeah. Look at this.”
Communication ports begin to be placed one after another in front of Hemis.
Grat’s pupils dilated widely.
‘Those communication ports…!’
Some of them are direct communication ports with the human commanders.
I clearly put it deep in the drawer, so how did I get it out?
Grat was quick to make excuses.
“Well, I subdivided the orders in order to make them more detailed, so that’s how it turned out. As you know, I don’t have anyone I can trust and leave everything to, so I tend to give each order myself. Hahaha…!”
“Oh, really?”
Hemis’ smile deepens.
“I’m curious. Let’s see how it works.”
Magic flowed in, and the communication port began to glow.
Woof…!
Grat swallowed hard.
‘Don’t worry. The secret communication port has a safety device in place to prevent it from breaking if any magic that isn’t mine flows through it.’
It doesn’t matter if it’s connected to a regular unit.
Even if it were to connect to a human, it would be destroyed by a safety device.
If that happens, you can just laugh it off and say that the communication device is defective.
At that moment, communication was established.
“Who’s there~?”
Hemis said.
Grat cleared his throat.
‘It looks like a communication port connected to the subordinate unit.’
Since the communication port is intact, it must be used for internal communication within the unit.
But the answer I heard was a completely unexpected voice.
-Who are you? That’s not Grat’s voice.
Grat’s eyes grew wide as if they were going to pop out.
‘Brian Balkatz!?’
Brian Balkatz, commander of the Holy Empire.
Of all people, it was connected to that guy.
‘Why? The safety device was clearly on!’
Grat’s heart was pounding like it was going to burst.
I held back my racing heart and forced myself to appear calm.
“Huh~ Who am I?” – Yeah. This communication line is probably only used by Grat.
“I’m the 3rd Corps Commander~”
-3rd Corps Commander? If you’re the 3rd Corps Commander, isn’t it the gourmet Hemis?
Grat’s breathing became rapid.
“Ugh, ugh… ugh…!”
Hemis raised his head and looked at Grat.
“Grat. What’s wrong?” “Oh, it’s nothing.”
“okay.”
Grat desperately tried to appear calm.
Fortunately, Hemis turned his gaze back to the communications port.
“So who are you? Judging from the fact that you call me a nerd… .”
That moment.
Clang!
The communication port was shattered.
Hemis smacked his lips as if he was regretting it.
“Oh, man~ I tried to force the lock open, but it didn’t work.”
“…”
“So Grat. Who was that just now?”
Gratt shook his head desperately.
“That, that is a spy I planted in a human!”
“Spy?”
“Yes! Information is essential to survive on the front lines!” “Wow~ As expected, Grat is smart. Ohohohoho!” “You’re flattering me! Hahaha…!”
The strange laughter between Grat and Hemis continued for a long time.
“Grat.”
Suddenly, Hemis spoke with a serious expression.
“Okay, then go now.”
“yes!”
Grat turned around and slowly opened the door.
You shouldn’t look urgent.
You should move as naturally as possible.
At that moment, the sound of Hemis and Choi Hyun-seok talking could be heard from behind.
“Come to think of it, I also have a spy planted on the Holy Empire side. Should I contact him after a long time?” “Oh! As expected of the Legion Commander! When will you prepare something like that?” “Information is essential for survival as the Legion Commander, right? Hohohoho!” “This is a good opportunity to get information about this raid from the spy.” “Yes. I should do that.”
I leave behind the conversation between the two that I can hear.
Boom…!
The door to the division commander’s office was closed.
At the same time, Grat started running like crazy.
‘This is a big deal! This is a big deal!!!’
It was clear that Hemis already knew everything.
Even if that wasn’t the case, if the human spy thing was true, it was only a matter of time before Grat’s actions were exposed.
“Big raduk! Big raduk!!!”
Grat, who was running frantically, urgently looked for the deputy commander.
“Yes, yes!?”
“Follow me now! We’re leaving Gadrak Castle!” “Commander. We’re not ready yet. The kids aren’t all gathered yet… .”
For a moment, Grat glared at the big dwarf with a menacing look.
“Shut up and follow me!”
Big Raduk’s eyes widened at the sudden outburst.
“I don’t need any of those guys, so just follow me. Do you understand?” “But the soldiers…” “You f*cking idiot!”
Grat decided to abandon the big ditch.
Come to think of it, I have no obligation to take care of that guy.
If it was going to be a problem regardless of whether he opened his mouth or not, it was better to just leave it alone.
“Commander Grat. Is there something urgent?” “No. Don’t worry about it. Just continue doing what you were doing.” “Hey~ How could I do that~?”
The big dwarf spoke in a cheerful voice.
Grat frowned at the unusual appearance.
“Please tell me what’s going on, Commander Grat.”
It was an attitude that he would never show in his usual manner.
Grat’s eyebrows furrowed even further.
The big dwarf looked at him with a grin.
“What are you doing?”
“What are you talking about~? I’m just curious about what’s going on~”
The big raduk’s smile grows even brighter.
At that time, I felt that the sight was somehow strange.
Joo-wook!
The big raduk’s lips were torn long.
His mouth, which had been laughing continuously, finally reached his ears.
“You, you, you… What…!” “Where are you going in such a hurry~? I’m asking you~?”
It’s Hemis.
Although he had the face of a big dwarf, Hemis’s voice was flowing out.
“Eww!”
Grat ran without looking back.
Fortunately, it seemed as if he had no intention of chasing after me, and the big raccoon just stood there.
‘I can’t die like this! I will live. I will survive!’
How frantically did I run?
Before he knew it, he had arrived at the entrance to the Gardrak Castle.
The soldier who recognized Grat tilts his head.
“Commander. Where are you going?” “Open the gates now! Now!”
Grat spurred the orc soldier.
At that moment, the orc soldier’s mouth was torn open.
“Why are you like that~ Aren’t you asking where I’m going~?” “Eek…! S, save me!!!”
Grat’s hell was just beginning.
