The Demon Prince goes to the Academy Chapter 519

Chapter 519

The road is open.

The Allies will soon notice the involvement of an unknown force, but not yet.

And if you clear the road too early, other monsters will surely take their place.

So, until the Allied Forces begin their next march, our troops have time to spare after real-time the first operation.

‘I need to see the situation of the Allied Garrison.’

Heinrich von Schwarz is assassinated.

However, the exact timing is unknown.

So, I decided to look at the trend of the Allied Garrison.

It’s okay to receive information from Sarkegar, who is already infiltrated, but in the end, I have to check it with my own eyes.

It wasn’t just Heinrich’s problems, but there were many things he wanted to see with his own eyes.

How the Temple guys are doing, how they have changed.

And I wanted to check with my own eyes how Ellen’s situation was going.

The other four dissuaded me saying it was too dangerous, but I can do what Sarkegar can do to some extent.

It cannot transform into a beast, but it is possible to transform into a human.

Allied forces are numerous.

too many too many

Therefore, it is not difficult to walk around the garrison disguised as a member of the Allied Forces.

And this war basically does nothing about security and spying issues.

The opponents are monsters who cannot communicate with each other.

Because the enemy always wages an all-out war, there is no spying or surprise attack. That’s why information warfare doesn’t exist in the first place. Bertus will know that I am not dangerous, so he will not be wary of my forces.

You know I’m watching, so there’s a possibility that I’ve designed the situation so that it’s easy to grasp the situation. Of course, I think that’s a bit of an exaggerated guess.

I arrived near the Allied garrison in an imperial officer’s uniform.

Harriet teleported me away.

“… … It’s amazing.”

Although I had heard about it, it was the first time I had seen it in person, so I was at a loss for words when I saw the enormous size of the Allied Forces with my own eyes.

When an emergency situation arises, I run away with a scroll, and if there is no such emergency situation, Harriet will be waiting at the designated place at the designated time to take me to Edina.

The deadline is until tomorrow.

“Your Highness, do you remember your rank and affiliation?”

Next to me was Sarkegar, who was posing as my attendant.

“Lieutenant Lindel, a discipline officer belonging to the 4th Training Command, Imperial 1st Corps Education Command.”

Of course it’s bullshit. Buddha exists, but there is no one like Lieutenant Lindell.

The reason for being an officer is because that way the general soldier won’t question who he is.

The reason why they belong to the Education Command is because there are very few of them in this Allied Garrison.

They are in charge of training those recruited from the ecliptic through the Recruitment Officer and then injecting them into the field with mass teleportation, because there is little need for them to be there.

But again, it’s not that there isn’t.

There are actually officers in the garrison, but the number is very small. That’s why I’m a discipline officer and I don’t know a guy like you? It is said that there are very few things to hear about.

Other officers would say something like a discipline officer and move on.

That’s why I created a disguised identity that allows me to freely move around this garrison without anyone interfering.

It was a camouflage status recommended by Sarkegar, who had grasped the status of the garrison to some extent in two days.

In the first place, even this is not a necessary procedure.

There were so many soldiers and officers in the garrison that even if they belonged to the same army, they couldn’t recognize each other.

It is Sarkegar’s role to look at the situation of the entire Allied Forces.

There is only one thing I want to check with my own eyes.

It is to grasp the situation of the Temple Royal class encampment.

* * *

Sarkegar is faithful to his mission.

I thought he would do it on his own, but I had given Sarkegar a task that was quite excessive.

Because it can transform without any foundation, it was sent to an enemy location. to gather information.

However, in two days, I not only figured out the distribution of allied forces across the vast garrison, but also immediately came up with a plausible disguised identity that I could wear, unable to transform into a beast or insect.

No, but if you do a good job, that’s a problem in its own way.

If you throw it into the enemy camp without doing anything, you will do well on your own, so you have such an expectation that you will do well in the future.

What is an outstanding subordinate… … .

Doesn’t being good at work mean that, as a result, you take on more and more difficult tasks?

If being excellent is rather dangerous, isn’t it better to be not excellent?

The garrison was so noisy that even if Sarkegar and I talked casually, no one would overhear.

-in action! move quickly!

-It’s an emergency call! 4 platoon gathering!

Not to mention shouting from all over the garrison.

-Kang! kang! Caang!

-Push this profit!

There was also a sound that sounded like a weapon being beaten.

“You seem to be busy here and there.”

“Yes, the upper combatants are not, but the ordnance requirements to arm the lower ranks are enormous.”

“I guess… … .”

Master classes can use Aura blades, and high-level combatants are provided with high-quality weapons. For example, being enchanted.

The longsword with auto-repair function that Ellen and I used when we went to the Dark Land is also quite a luxury item. Even though such masterpieces are damaged in battle, they have high durability because they have original quality.

A low-ranking soldier doesn’t even have a chance to squeeze something like that.

Relatively low-quality armaments are their share.

So once put into battle, even if you survive, your equipment will inevitably be destroyed.

That’s why there is no choice but to create a myriad of weapons in the garrison until the blacksmiths are afraid to set up the garrison and withdraw.

spears and swords, bows and arrows.

-Kang! kang!

I could see the sound of weapons being smelted and bellows being used, and the blacksmiths of the allied forces with red faces.

Seeing with my own eyes how much manpower is required for war, and how many non-combat manpower, but in a way, more important than combat manpower, I realized.

I knew in my head that war wasn’t just about swords and spears, but looking at the busy allied camps, it seemed like a real war was right in front of me.

I am also contributing to this war, but we can always return to Edina, which can be called our headquarters, at any time during a small period.

This army is so large that those who can move at very long distances via mass teleport are extremely limited.

Most of them will not be able to return to their hometowns until this war is over, and strictly speaking, there will be many more who have lost even such a hometown.

I could hear people’s conversations to some extent if I paid close attention.

– Still, I’m not hungry. that’s better

– If I die tomorrow, what does it matter?

-Have you ever starved yourself to the point where you want to die right away? I’d rather have it now.

The safest thing in a war is rather a soldier.

Some say it is better to go to war now because they can escape from starvation, while others fear the shadow of death.

Touching the war was tantamount to touching people’s hatred, fear, and hope.

There were conversations cursing me, and there were conversations praising Ellen.

Some wondered if it would be possible to feed these troops until the war was over.

There was also a conversation between officers who were worried about what would happen to mankind if this army was annihilated.

-What will happen if the demon king attacks us now?

– No matter how strong the demon king is, how can he attack this place when Sir Tana and the warrior are here? Unless… … .

-Don’t you know that the demon king slaughtered dozens of sword masters in the ecliptic last time?

-At that time, you lost to the warrior in the end. He said he was stabbed in the heart. In fact, the demon king might already be dead.

I walk through the Allied Garrison with a bitter smile.

“That’s awful… … . It is also spacious.”

The Allied garrison was large and there were many people.

So there were too many words coming and going, and there were many different types.

In addition to Saddam, there were countless voices clamoring for a successor who would always be in an army like this.

And, again, there were strange things.

-Ooh oh oh!

I heard the sound of admiring soldiers rushing somewhere, and it seemed that there was something unfolding that I thought I would never see in a war, especially in this situation.

-Kong! kong!

-I told you. I’m dealing with a dog.

There were soldiers who made a scruffy brown dog sit down and do trivial tricks, such as backs, and soldiers who watched it.

“What… … . do you have a dog Is it a military dog?”

Judging by the scruffy little dog and the mongrel, it was not a military dog. It’s not even a war worth dealing with military dogs in the first place.

“The surviving wild beasts seem to be trickling into the Allied garrison. Or maybe the humans found wild beasts and brought them on purpose.”

Just as humans survive and survive in this chaos, so do animals.

“As you can see, the commanders didn’t seem to have much to say as they judged it to be helpful to the morale of the soldiers. It’s not many, but there seem to be quite a few units like that.”

It may have been rescued, or it may have come because humans thought they would protect them.

– Ohhh!

The soldiers burst into exclamations at the trivial jokes performed by wild dogs.

The survivors protect the surviving beast.

It’s just one dog. Maybe it’s fed, and I don’t know if it’s a platoon or a company, but the soldiers in that garrison will keep taking that dog with them.

Even though that dog has no part to play in this war, they will cherish it.

It means nothing, but it will be precious because it means nothing.

Sarkegar watched the scene in silence.

“majesty.”

“uh.”

“I wished for the destruction of all humans.”

Sarkegar silently watches the soldiers laughing at each dog.

“But, what I want is… … . I don’t think it was.”

Having broken us, break you too.

Sarkegar wanted that.

That’s why, I’m watching over the broken humanity.

A scruffy wild dog.

What is the difference between that wild dog and mankind?

Sarkegar’s thoughts seemed complicated. He doesn’t forgive humanity or anything.

However, looking at the horribly broken things, you will feel some inevitable feeling that you cannot just hate them.

It is difficult to sum up in one word what we feel.

I can only describe the scenery in one word.

Broken humanity laughs at a dog.

Looking at what still remains, I try to forget what I lost.

We passed the scenery.

* * *

“It’s filthy far.”

“It’s such a large unit that it can’t be helped.”

The Allied garrison was so vast that it took a year just to get to the place where the Templars were stationed.

It was not for nothing that there were officers riding horses in the garrison.

Of course, at this point when you can run faster than a horse if you run at full speed, there is no need for a horse.

However, if a person who is nothing more than an allied military discipline officer runs through the garrison at superhuman speed, a very difficult situation is bound to unfold.

And since the Temple Garrison is treated as very important even within the Allied Forces, it is almost in the center of the Garrison, so the distance is the same no matter where you approach it.

So, in the end, we arrived at the place where the Templar troops were stationed even within the Allied garrison.

Many of the Temple students were drafted into the military. And Temple initially had a student population of over 100,000.

That’s why, no matter how much the army is made up of students, it is bound to be enormous, and even if they can’t use magical power enhancement, the level of combat power of the temple students is different from that of ordinary soldiers.

These were students who had been professionally trained in martial arts or majored in magic.

Temple’s forces are nothing compared to the main axis of the Allied Forces.

In addition, a huge number of weapons in the temple were put into the hands of the students.

Sarkegar and I entered the Templar garrison.

Unsurprisingly, the average age of those who came and went was very low compared to other camps, regardless of gender.

They are students educated in the same environment regardless of their status.

However, many have lost their hometowns, and many have lost their countries.

identity has become obsolete.

Even among imperial aristocrats, there are numerous people who have lost their territory.

Therefore, it is safe to say that all of them have become equal under the qualification of student-turned-soldiers because their status has truly become meaningless.

“They gave classes even in this environment.”

“I guess so.”

I nodded at Sarkegar’s words.

Not only the students, but also the teachers are enlisted.

In addition to combat-related classes, they also occasionally conduct general education. Of course, there is no test or anything, but as if the human race has not yet been exterminated.

Even though I can’t do education for the future often, I do class.

It will be the same for the royal class side.

Of course, the more important royal class powers among the temple powers have little time to receive such general education.

The Temple has not completely stopped.

When there are students and there are teachers, education can occur.

As if they were shouting that education could not only be done at the temple.

Sarkegar and I continued on our way, feeling quite hopeless seeing the sights I had described with our own eyes.

The center of the temple garrison.

Royal Class Garrison.

I had no choice but to face the difficulties I knew.

“It’s a roadblock… … .”

In the Royal Class garrison area, a circular barrier was built around it.

It was already reported to Sarkegar before he started gathering information.

“As I said, the Royal Class Garrison has strict access control.”

“… … I see.”

“It seems like there are too many people who want to see Ellen Artorius from afar. It seems that there were even some people who broke into the barracks.”

This, in fact, was not the case in the original story.

Ludwig is the owner of Alsbringer, and Ellen is the hero’s younger sister.

At the time it was revealed, the popularity of the two skyrocketed, but access was not controlled like this.

Is this because of me after all?

Because of my existence, Ellen’s fame has been squared, and because of that, Ellen has been more noticed in the Allied Forces than before. The achievements made so far in the gate crisis will also be important.

It even goes to the level of stalking.

So, in the end, a roadblock was built near the Royal Class Garrison, and at the entrance, soldiers were watching uninvited guests with lights on in their eyes.

Harriet had entered Ellen’s barracks by teleportation.

I wouldn’t have gone through that entrance in the first place.

The disguised identity is useless.

Since it is posted on the barricade that non-affiliated persons are absolutely prohibited from entering, no one will be able to enter there without an appointment.

“I will go in from here.”

“… … .”

Since Sarkegar can transform into something other than human in the first place, he would have been able to enter that Royal Class Garrison.

I can’t.

But Sarkegar becomes.

I even knew that from the start.

Of course, I couldn’t confirm the Royal Class garrison, but it can’t be said that it’s obviously meaningless to see the Allied Forces with their own eyes.

However, it would be more absurd to bring Harriet and move the two of them to that distance through space movement.

As long as I was in this form in the first place, even if I could go inside, I had no choice but to be a non-affiliated person entering the Royal Class Garrison.

It is also unreasonable to transform into someone from an insider. The Royal Class Garrison is not that wide. It might end up in a crazy situation where there are two of the same person in the same place.

If it’s Sarkegar, he should be able to go inside without being seen and see people’s faces.

but come here

I’ve come this far

Sarkegar prepares for a transformation between tents in a secluded place in the garrison.

It will turn into a bird and fly away.

but.

miss you.

how was everyone

how everyone is

I know it’s just painful to check.

still.

There are things you want to check with your own eyes.

“Sarkegar.”

“yes.”

“I will.”

“… … yes?”

I remembered the soldiers laughing at a single dog.

“People are controlled, not even animals.”

It is the man who controls, not the beast.

And, it is an environment where there are not many animals.

The existence of the beast itself is not considered suspicious.

“Maybe I can?”

“I, Your Highness… … .”

“No, you can do it.”

If it’s in the form of a beast, you’ll be able to get in there.

I’ve never done it before.

But, it’s something I’ve never done before, so it’s not impossible.

* * *

Sarkegar can transform into a bug or a dragon with his transformation ability.

But I’ve never tried it.

I didn’t even dare to try because they said that if I made a mistake, I might not be able to come back.

So, although I could change my human form or demon form, at least I tried to maintain my ‘humanoid’ form.

But now it is impossible to enter disguised as someone else.

It could be delivered through Sarkegar’s mouth, but I tried to confirm it with my own eyes.

I didn’t even have to come here myself if I wasn’t going to see it with my own eyes, but rather listen to it.

Sarkegar looked distrustful when I said that I would suddenly turn into a beast.

But it will come back to normal.

If it doesn’t work, it will be self-suggestions, words, or whatever.

In the midst of this, the absurd situation of transforming into a beast and then being unable to return and twisting the situation will not unfold. There is something like a means to prepare for the case of not returning achievement points or anything.

because

A blind spot where people’s eyes can’t reach in the temple garrison.

-Aug

I became a cat

why cat

First of all, cats are small, and they hide here and there to overhear the story.

No matter how suspicious you are, if you’re cute, they’ll understand.

That’s what being a human is.

It’s dangerous if you turn into a dog because you might suddenly be tied to a leash. It’s bad to hide.

The items and clothes I had did not fall to the floor.

I don’t know for sure, but just like Sarkegar doesn’t appear naked even when he transforms from a beast to a human, I wonder if Sarkegar’s ring has a function.

But the ring was hanging from my ear with invisibility on. like piercing.

and problem.

It is not easy to move the limbs.

how to say

It’s hard to put into words, but it’s not the feeling of moving your limbs, it’s the feeling of operating a machine you’ve never ridden in your life.

That kind of thing where you have to pilot a fighter jet you’ve never flown before… … .

Should I say it’s more like a mobile suit than a fighter?

No, I’ve never ridden either of them anyway, so it’s meaningless to say anything… … .

– Burr

I feel like a bug.

My limbs can’t move on my own!

No, it’s not a limb.

All four legs can’t move on my own! I can’t even walk!

Are the cat’s limbs out of sync?

How do you stick out your toenails?

Do I need to get my head into things like how a cat’s limbs work?

I was stuck on the spot, trembling with my right forepaw, and trembling with my hind leg.

-dump!

In the end, I couldn’t even stand up properly and fell to the side.

Literally, helplessly.

– burr

He was lying on his side and shivering, his body not moving properly.

Was this really that difficult?

How has Sarkegar been doing so far?

First of all, a cat with four limbs is like this, but what the hell did you do with insects and what do you do with winged beasts?

-Cow!

Sarkegar even knows how to talk, but he doesn’t even make a sound other than meow.

“… … .”

Sarkegar silently looks down at me as I lie on my side and my limbs are shaking.

Why do you have to suffer to buy it?

Come with this feeling

– Slurr!

In the end, Sarkegar changed his appearance as if he couldn’t see it.

A cat similar to me, but a bit bigger.

– Ayeeng

– Jump! jump!

Sarkegar jumps in place and jumps.

It’s like trying to follow.

– Phat!

Why does the tail rise?

-… … .

Holy Tomb Sarkegar looks at me quietly.

And then he quietly shakes his head.

you can’t

stop.

come back to normal

It was a nod that felt that kind of will.

No, it’s okay to change once! I don’t know what it is, but I still don’t know how to control it!

You can do it if you know!

no manual?

– Ae-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a!

As I chattered, Sarkegar stared at me for a long moment.

Then he started tapping my feet and doing something as if he were trying to teach me something one by one.

that.

to be honest.

I had no idea what he was trying to teach me.
