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

080. Of course I will.

“Did you say that you can always call me for help?”

“Yes.”

The outrageous message from Jason raised Berger’s alertness.

“Is it safe to say that he knows what is going on in front of this place?”

“Yes. I think so.”

“How would you know?”

“Isn’t that the connection with humans?”

After all, there was no need to go to a senior position. Because Ravinia Akan ascended to Erzest alone, and Akan’s forces pursued them, so their identities were revealed.

“Of course, even the Demon Lord may have thoughts, but you should not simply accept favors as favors.”

Gordon’s advice was obvious.

It is absurd that demon kings, who are rivals, help each other out of pure kindness.

‘But if it’s Jason, there is a possibility that helping is sincere.’

Because that’s not pure intent.

“Send me a rough answer as soon as you know.”

“Yes.”

“Is there no contact with Granada?”

“Not yet. Akan’s pack includes some warriors, so they seem to be careful.”

smart-

At that moment, Ernya opened the door and stuck out her head.

“Demon Lord, is Crutu-sama here?”

“I will go.”

Berger stood up.

“Be careful.”

“I do.”

I replied roughly and went down to the first floor. A logger with all his tools and a croutu with his supplies were waiting. Dozens of Ful Orcs too.

“let’s go.”

“Yes.”

He rode on the frost wolf brought by the orcs. Logger asked, sitting in front of Croutu.

“Can I do it like last time?”

“okay.”

The last time was when I met Hillen Cargill. They set up cannons on the warrior’s expected path and set off an avalanche.

Thanks to this, the courage of the warriors was greatly reduced, and they were able to block them relatively easily.

“How advanced is the Golem’s core?”

“Mana and Magi are completely different. The nature and fundamentals are different, so the magic structure and circuitry to make it into a nucleus are different.”

“Since the snout is already long, it must have been poor.”

“…about 1, 1%?”

“Did you do any research?”

Berge’s face wrinkled.

Of course, I understand that you are spending more time building the magic cannon and constructing the first floor, but this is not the level of just doing nothing.

“Are you saying you have a knack for enchantment magic in alchemy?”

“Magic using mana and magic using magic are completely different. It means that I am studying a new study on my own right now.”

“therefore?”

“…No, it’s not necessarily like that, but if you would know a little bit about my hard work…”

“If you raise it to 10% within two weeks, I will give you some of the tower’s appendages.”

“This logger, I will risk my life and reputation as the best craftsman in Werft! Just leave it to me!”

Again, this dwarf was easy to deal with.

“Cruto. Is the condition of the tribe members okay?”

“Yes. Some of the warriors who fought together were intimidated by the appearance of a monster called Chimera, but they overcame it with the majesty of the Demon King.”

“Good luck.”

In fact, as the orcs live for struggle, fear is not a big deal.

‘Come to think of it, I didn’t pay much attention to it.’

Just let it out in the field and grow it yourself. It was at this level.

Of course, I gave him an elixir and a heart that grabbed Prison Drake.

“Are all the members of the tribe satisfied?”

“Yes. Thanks to the Demon Lord, the tribe is growing and the territory is increasing day by day. Loyalty to the Demon Lord is higher than heaven.”

“What kind of monsters are difficult to deal with?”

“There is not. There is no way there are arrogant people who can stand proudly in front of the power the Demon Lord has given them.”

“Well.”

Why is it like seeing a bone marrow demon who believes in the Demon Emperor?

It wasn’t bad, but it was a bit embarrassing. I don’t know if it was before the return, because now I know how insignificant I am in Alain.

“It’s good to get Erzest. But do not go northeast.”

“Yes. I will obey your orders.”

Croutu didn’t ask anything this time either.

“There is something like a cold and popped soup. It’s not good for them to work together, so you should avoid them.”

“Yes.”

Berge added a comment, and Croutu bowed his head.

After a while, we reached our destination. One of several paths to climb the mountain.

The snow that has piled up on the top of the mountain will pour out and devour Akan’s hordes if you gently touch them.

“Put the magic cannon here.”

They put down the cannons they had been carrying on their backs.

“Demon Lord, I was thinking about it.”

“What.”

“Why don’t you just focus your magic cannon on this side of things like an avalanche and sweep it away with firepower?”

“You must not be caught using a magic cannon. Are you planning to inform the humans of your existence at length?”

“Isn’t it enough to just keep a secret?”

“You don’t think they can recognize the magic cannon, do you?”

“Of course it’s not, but doesn’t it mean that my secret has to be uncovered after all? and···.”

“Can’t bodies speak?”

“That’s it! If you detonate dozens of magic cannons all at once, will they be able to scream? If you can stand it, the orcs will wipe out the rest.”

“·················ogue.”

I don’t know who the Demon King is.

It’s a good method, but unfortunately I couldn’t use it.

“Reject.”

“Yes?”

“The prince and princess of Akan are together. It is not right to kill them right now.”

No matter how Erzest they are, they are not the ones who will die easily, so of course doubts will come back to Berge.

“Oh, I see···.”

Logger let out a sigh of regret.

“But don’t promise. There will be a day when the magic cannons of the tower you built will annihilate the warrior squad.”

“…we look forward to that day!”

Logger’s expression changed.

‘····································································································‘

Why doesn’t it seem normal?

‘Why do I, the Demon Lord, worry like this?’

I stopped thinking about the strange question.

* * *

“Well.”

Granada swallowed a moan. The current situation was unbearable.

“Is the food not to your liking?”

“no. Delicious.”

The taste was there. However, it was not known whether it was entering the mouth or the nose.

It was because of the two pairs of red eyes that were constantly staring at him.

‘A princess on one side, a prince on the other. And on the other side, the Blue Meteor Wizard and the White Wolf Knight Commander.’

When was the last time he received so much attention from royalty and nobility?

Although he received a lot of attention at Hilderan’s banquet, it was different from that time.

“A lot of.”

Large pieces of meat on a fork are placed on a plate in Granada. The owner of the small white hand was Lavinia.

“Yes, thank you.”

“I think your sister really liked Granada.”

“…awesome.”

“… well.”

The prince, watching from the side, laughs cheerfully, and the knight and wizard swallow uncomfortable moans.

chump-

And behind them, a giant titan devours meat and swallows it.

There was no thorn cushion.

Apparently, you made an appointment to ask about Erzest.

“A lot of.”

“Too many.”

“more.”

Another piece of meat was added. Already on Granada’s plate there was a mountain of meat.

With his hot gaze, he had no choice but to put a piece of meat in his mouth. After chewing and swallowing, I wiped the sauce off my lips with a napkin.

“I heard you have some questions about Erzest.”

“Oh, right. That was the purpose.”

Cain put down his knife.

“Before I came here, I did some research on the heroism of the Heroes of Hillen. And what surprised me the most was that monsters attacked the warriors every night.”

It wasn’t just the level of sending monsters. Monsters tormented the warriors every night. That reminds me of the one worst assumption that the Demon King can control Erzest’s monsters.

“How was it? Did it really look like the Demon King was beating the monsters in the mountains? Was the whole mountain his domain?”

“Didn’t you say you already heard it?”

“But those warriors were not the ones who endured to the end like Granada-sama.”

Well.

Granada was worried.

How can I answer so that Cain is satisfied and the devil does not harm the Demon King?

A lie that was too obvious could rather lead to suspicion.

“I can’t say for sure.”

“That’s it, unless you’re familiar with the Demon Lord, there’s no choice but to do so. I don’t want that either. I just want you to tell me what Granada experienced and what you felt.”

“We wandered the mountains for over a month to find the tower.”

“yes.”

“And there were monsters attacking every night without missing a single day.”

“How many?”

“It was a lot. Hundreds of them.”

“Do you mean that hundreds of monsters came every day?”

“Yes.”

Read at readwn.com

Most of the hundreds were Ful Orcs to drive the monsters, and only a few directly attacked the troop, but that was not important.

Anyway, it is true that hundreds of monsters came.

‘But isn’t that the point of giving up altogether?’

Then will the Demon King be happy?

“…Oh my God, are you really saying that all the monsters in the mountains are even belonging to the Demon King?”

Cain swallowed a moan. The leader of the Blue Meteor Wizard denied it.

“It is impossible. If the tower survived for hundreds of years without collapsing, I don’t know, it’s impossible for a demon lord who has been descending for a year now.”

“But there are no witnesses?”

“If that was possible, the continent would have fallen into the hands of the demon kings right away.”

“ah···. exactly.”

Cain shook his head.

“Then what is it?”

Instead of answering, the wizard asked Granada.

“Granada-sama, what kind of monsters were the main monsters in the group?”

“It was a Puer Orc.”

“Is it true that they only attacked the warriors at night?”

“Yes.”

“Also!”

“Do you have any guesses?”

“As you know, orcs lead a herd life. The top and bottom clothes are thorough, and the chief’s orders are carried out even at the risk of their lives.”

“I know what you mean. If you could control just one chieftain, would you be able to obtain a lot of orcs as they are?”

“you’re right. And the fact that they only raid at night is a big clue.”

“which?”

“Although demons are the creators of mental magic, not all demons are proficient in mental magic. Even less so, the Demon Lord of Fire is known for his power itself as fire.”

“Yes.”

“For that reason, it must be a little lacking in mental magic. So, you can only control orcs at night when the power of demons is relatively strong.”

“ah···! then.”

It is concluded that it is relatively easy during the day.

There is a restriction that it is difficult at night, but it is much better than the previous home, which was completely hopeless.

“It won’t be easy, but you just have to be careful at night. Exploring the mountains is not too difficult if you are well prepared. In fact, the bravery lasted for a month.”

“Most of those monsters are Fear Orcs, so it must be even more so.”

It wasn’t that the Ful Orcs were weak. In particular, the Orcs, who acted in harmony with the chief’s orders, were no different from nightmares in some ways.

But everything is relative. Better than hundreds of Yetina Prison Drakes, Twinhead Trolls or Werewolves.

“Perhaps the Fear Orcs were only at the level of chasing down other monsters. If hundreds of Orcs were exhausted every day for a month, there would be tens of thousands, which is impossible.”

“So is it.”

The two quickly came close to the answer.

“Then we have to come up with a strategy that suits that.”

“I think it would be better to contact the home country and airlift the magic equipment.”

“Yes, it is. Oh, Granada. Do you remember when you climbed the mountain range? I want you to be my guide.”

“that is···.”

According to Berge’s plan, I had to say that I was wandering around so much that I couldn’t remember.

“Of course it will. Elves are more familiar with nature than any other race. I’ve never heard of them saying they don’t know the path they once took.”

“Oh, is it?”

“As far as I know, the high elves said it must have been intentional or a head injury that the elves lost their way.”

“I remember everything.”

But I never dared to do that. In fact, the wizard’s words were true.

“Then I don’t know how much, but I can rule out quite a few areas.”

“Yes, according to the terrain…”

The prince and the wizard began a heated discussion.

“·················ogue.”

‘Am I not saying something wrong?’

Granada was silent.

For some reason, there was no face to look at Berger’s face.
