I’m the Demon King, but There Are Too Many Heroes

102. It was a snowy field

Mercenary Guild.

Just as all warriors join the warrior guild, all mercenaries join the mercenary guild.

Unlike the Heroes’ Guild, it was not an obligation, but the reputation, trust, and system they had built up over a long period of time made it so.

Because people trust those with mercenaries more than those who don’t.

‘I’ll be alive.’

Mercenary guilds are everywhere where people gather. It was the same here, at the forefront of the snowy field.

Granada had time to go to the Mercenary Guild.

Although the Red Hawks became a raiding force, the origin was a mercenary force. If they were alive, they must have been resting in a familiar mercenary guild.

‘Isn’t it all dead?’

He used to show how he usually survived knowingly. Of course, it was accompanied by the problem of putting one’s own life ahead of the mission, but this case was not about that.

It’s already been over a year since we’ve been together, and I’ve heard both the good feelings and the bad feelings.

‘just in case.’

Anxiety took over.

Although their survivability was excellent, what happened in the snowy field did not guarantee survival either.

Demons, demons, and monsters abounded. The harsh natural environment was also a problem.

No matter how frigid the demon lord showed mercy, there are still some dead. Their survival cannot be guaranteed.

profit-

“Drink more, more!”

“Captain, is there no room for alcohol after eating snow in the snow?”

“Maybe it was because I was sleeping in the hide of a monster saying I was going to die from the cold. You ate that disgusting piece of meat by yourself, right?”

“Shut up, you bastards! If I can’t empty this oak barrel, I’ll go back to the youngest, not the captain!”

“Oh, that’s a good suggestion!”

“From the youngest to the last! I will challenge myself!”

And that worry disappeared as soon as I opened the door of the branch and entered.

The guild branch in the northern city overflowing with constant work called monsters in the snow had to be large.

Naturally, many mercenaries flocked to the large building. In such a crowded place, the former red hawk mercenary, the leader’s voice stood out.

Granada walked from table to table.

The stinky smell of alcohol.

loud laughter.

A feast of all kinds of food and the smell of sweat.

We arrived in front of the loudest, loudest place.

She turned her surprised eyes behind her and pointed one by one with her fingers.

“One, two, three . . . thirty-two.”

“Great, Captain.”

“Are they all alive?”

without missing a single one.

Granada laughed. The crew smiled awkwardly.

“haha···. After surviving for a few days, the pursuit strangely loosened…”

“know. Well done.”

“That, right?”

“okay. It was good to be alive…”

Woodduck-

Granada took off the handle of a nearby chair and made a club.

“No matter how you look at it, it wouldn’t be a good thing to be playing around without a report on survival, would it?”

“Great, Captain!”

“No, let’s say it, say it.”

“Conversation! Humans are human because they know how to talk!”

“I’m an elf, you bastards!”

The matchmaking continued.

The red hawk members fled in all directions, and the mercenaries around them started fighting each other in anger at the spilled wine glasses.

it was shit

* * *

“So, do you have to pay me for money?”

is this crazy

“…that’s because of these guys, the bar was destroyed.”

“Yes? That’s a big … Eup!”

Berger smirked. Granada tried to avoid her gaze.

“You are having an accident. Elves are usually quiet, aren’t you an elf?”

“·················ogue.”

“Don’t speak. Follow me.”

“What’s wrong?”

“Healan Cargill is awake.”

The article of the Chernian Marquess has informed me of that fact.

He took care of Berge and Granada so that they could meet Hillen.

Upon entering the single room, there was Hillen sitting blankly on the bed.

“···here is.”

“This is the northern fortress of Cherbil. It’s the lord’s castle there.”

“You are alive.”

Hillen’s last memory was the snowy field. Berges falling from the sky and magic cannons emitting firepower.

The escape started again and the sound of the horn shakes the snowy field.

“thank you.”

Hillen bowed his head.

“I lived thanks to you.”

“I know. The story has already been told from Granada. Demons and demons poured out?”

“Yes. It’s the first time I’ve seen them open the tower door first.”

“It’s not the first time.”

“Isn’t the case different from the Demon King?”

It was different from the fact that some monsters had just forced a surprise attack at night.

“Did you foresee a situation like this that stopped me once?”

“At least, I was expecting that you wouldn’t succeed easily. I didn’t know it was going to be like this.”

“…even after hunting two demon lords, it’s still not enough.”

“It has been close to a hundred years since Reina descended on Arain. No matter how many heroes there are, the Demon Kings are among the strongest in the Demon Realm. You are not something you can underestimate.”

“I felt it to the bone.”

Hillen shook his head.

When Berge showed up and saved him, I really felt it. that he must not yet escape from the arms of the Demon King.

Perhaps all of this was Berger’s joke. However, it was the full power of the demon lord who defeated them, and he realized that it was not enough to deal with the demon lords who had endured for decades.

“I like that look. How is your body?”

“Not bad except a little drowsy.”

“There were no major injuries in the first place, so it is natural. You are awake, and sooner or later, the change will find you. You can find us together.”

“Changeback….”

As much as Mare Beck wants to have a connection with Hillen, vice versa.

Although he does not have much power in the central political world due to the defense of the north, he has the authority in the north and the military power that is one of the best in the empire.

“I don’t care what kind of relationship you have with the martyr or what kind of plot you have.”

“thank you.”

“but. Don’t let his attention return to me.”

“Isn’t it really bad for the Demon Lord to come to the fore?”

“Don’t say anything you don’t mean.”

Of course it wasn’t bad. But in the end, Berge was the Demon King. He wasn’t as well versed in acting or human society as Hillen was.

Berger felt it when he met Cain of Akan.

If the tail is long, it can only be trampled on.

As long as the words Hillen Cargill and Granada exist anyway, there’s no need for him to come forward. Just maintaining a proper relationship with Akan. decided to be satisfied with it.

“Yes, I will.”

“Now that you’re awake, I don’t need to be here anymore.”

“If you go, the Czernian Marquess won’t look good.”

“Should I care about the gaze of a human margin?”

“It has nothing to do with the Demon Lord, but not for me and Hillen Cargill.”

“So.”

Berge turned to Hillen Cargill.

“I was waiting for this guy to wake up.”

“what···?”

“Yes.”

Hillen nodded.

“I will figure it out.”

“You can tie Akan and me together. It is also true that we are moderately intertwined.”

“Yes.”

“Then I will call you back later if something happens.”

“Yes.”

Druck-

Berger opened the window.

“Ah, would you like to go through the front door proudly? If you tell me you’re going to get some air, I’ll send it to you in moderation. Because I am here.”

“I do.”

He went out through the door.

* * *

“I thought you weren’t coming.”

The northern fortress, about 20 km from Chervyl, is the border between the snowfield and the empire. After walking up to here alone, Ernap, who was hiding in the snow again, sniffled a runny nose.

“Healen woke up later than expected.”

“Fortunately, it seems that you are awake.”

“At first, the wound wasn’t that deep.”

“Still, you never know.”

“You must have encountered a monster.”

“I came in hiding. I was so nervous that demons would appear.”

“Good work.”

“Is that the end?”

“then?”

“I spent a whole day in the snow and wandered around the snowy field alone, and how many days did I spend in the snow again?”

“Did you work hard?”

“···yes. What.”

“Let’s go back to the South. I wonder what the Empire and the Confederates are up to.”

“ah. It was. I forgot.”

It was because the work in the north was so difficult.

In the snowy field, where the cold is coming and you have to keep the demons in mind at any time, just staying in the snowy field ate up your soul.

“I go to a city other than Chereville and use the movement magic circle. I’ll have to make sure I cover my hair and eyes so that I don’t get caught.”

“It doesn’t matter in the current state, right?”

“I mean, he came out secretly.”

“yes? So will there be any problems?”

“Healen and Granada are there to deal with that.”

“Ugh.”

That was then.

woo woo-

The communication tool in Berge’s arms vibrated. It was a personal communication tool with Reina. He beckoned Ernya far away.

『Berge Deias.』

“What’s going on?”

“Where are you now? I don’t think it’s a tower.”

“It’s Erzest. I went out for a while to bring the monsters into the family.”

It wasn’t that the Demon King had to leave the tower unconditionally.

However, when the warriors enter the tower, they must keep their seats at the top.

It is just that humans shouldn’t be caught walking around without dignity.

If you look closely, it wasn’t much different from being unable to roam around in the end, but it wasn’t unusual to move to bring monsters into your family.

“is it.”

“What’s going on?”

“You will remember when your mother told you she was going to get Hillen Cargill.”

“I remember. You said you’d save other humans and heroes, and kill Hillen Cargill as an example. Did you succeed?”

“It failed.”

“failure? You wouldn’t have prepared in vain.”

“I tried to prepare as much as possible, but it seems to be lacking. I saw the power of human beings too small.”

“This is Arain. Being careless is not good.”

“Your advice should be taken sweetly. But that’s it.”

She paused for a moment. The very brief silence felt like hours to Berge.

‘Did you notice something?’

There really wasn’t any point in doing that. But maybe it was because of a crime he had committed, something was unsettling.

Somehow, I guessed her next words.

“The high-ranking demon who was sent to catch Hillen Cargill made a strange noise.”

“I saw you.”

Also.

Berger answered as calmly as possible. With a wrinkled face and a puzzled expression.

“me?”

“Don’t correct it. To be precise, he said he saw a human who looked just like you.”

“He’s a human that looks just like me… That sounds funny.”

Berger snorted.

“What did that man do?”

“I went to find Hillen Cargill, who had almost caught everything. It could be said that she was the one who ruined her mother’s plan.”

“Kill that demon.”

“What do you mean?”

“I have never been out of Erzest. He dared to frame another demon king and cover his own failure, so it means that it is not cool to kill him right away.”

Growling, there was a loud, shrill laugh.

“I didn’t specifically call that person you.”

“I just said that everything looks the same except for the hair, eyes, and energy.”

“You know what they usually say?”

“what?”

“It’s completely different.”

“It seems so.”

“Why are you talking to me like that? Do you really think I would?”

“It is not.”

“If it were me, Hillen Cargill’s neck would have been rolling in the snow right away. He has an old grudge against me.”

“If I offended you, I apologize. I was just annoyed and vomited to you.”

“I was confident of my success, but I feel bad because of my failure.”

“However, I can’t open my heart to my subordinates.”

“That too. But keep in mind I never do anything that harms you. We decided to cooperate, and I believe that trust in each other should come first.”

“I’m sorry. I will apologize.”

“…I will accept it. What do you plan to do from now on?”

“I’m going to think about it from now on.”

There was a slight anger in her words. Berge continued to speak while managing his facial expressions.

“I have nothing to say about failure. Next time we will be successful.”

“okay.”

contact has been lost

Berge took a breath he had been holding back.

“Would it go well?”

It will be.

In common sense, there is no one who sees the Demon King and a human who does not feel magical at all as the same person simply because they look alike.

Rather than questioning Reina’s words and deeds in the first place, it was at the level that there was literally such an interesting issue.

“let’s go.”

“yes.”

Berge and Ernyl rushed their steps again.

* * *

The northern part of the snowy field, the tower of the cold.

Reina couldn’t take her eyes off the switched off communication for a long time.

Nina felt strange and called her.

“The Demon King?”

“It was.”

“···Yes?”

“It was… a snowy field.”

Although the communication area has a very narrow radius, it also shows the surrounding environment.

Behind Berge’s back was a field of snow.

It was a wide field.

It was a scene that was more familiar to Reina Sordain.

Although it was closer to the Empire than her realm.

That’s undoubtedly.

it was snowy

“It was a snowy field…”

Reina muttered like crazy.
