58 – fishers of men

The soldiers of the Falcon Empire were able to safely retreat due to the ‘mercy’ of the demons.

However, throughout the retreat, they still had a strong feeling of fear that they might surprise them or attack them.

While they were only a few hundred, their number was a huge army ranging from thousands to tens of thousands.

If they ever change their minds, those who escape the castle will be massacred without really doing anything.

This fact automatically leads them to strategically retreat…

No, it was made to run away.

However, contrary to their worries, fortunately there was no tracking or surprise attack by the demons.

As a result, the soldiers at Calvary are safe,

I was able to reach Rob, where the retreat was in progress.

and,

The stories they experienced naturally began to spread from their mouths, who lived and died.

With the army of tens of thousands of demons.

The story of their dangerous situation that barely came back alive among them.

*

“All enemies have retreated. Corps commander.”

“good night. Then let’s go.”

Hearing the report that the situation has ended, Samson rises happily from his seat.

Immediately after that, he opened the barracks and went outside.

Immediately, they looked at the appearance of their subordinates gathered there.

There were less than a thousand soldiers gathered there.

This was all that Samson had brought to capture Calvary.

The number was honestly considered to be a little insufficient for a siege,

Even as some of them had not even recovered from their injuries in the last battle, the overall situation could not be said to be good.

However, apart from these real powers.

Samson’s current troops had a different dimension when viewed from a distance.

this moment,

The backs of Samson’s men were all tied to wooden pedestals.

A wooden stand with 3-4 flaming torches attached to each.

In addition, some demons were holding torches in their hands.

If you look at this from a distance, the number of soldiers in this position is inevitably seen as a large army, at least 4 times and at most 10 times.

Through this deception, Samson was able to make his enemies misjudge that the size of his army was incomparably greater than that of his enemies.

As a result, they succeeded in easily taking Calvary Castle without paying any sacrifices to their allies.

Samson and his soldiers achieved their goal so easily and without a hit.

Soon after, they entered Calvary Castle’s inner sanctuary, took a rest, and started talking about this incident.

“Still, I did light a torch until the end just in case, but nothing special happened.”

“In the first place, they were the ones who brought the captain’s neck and offered it, so it would have been natural if it was natural.”

“I’ve experienced it before, but I think the hero’s strategy is great. You couldn’t have imagined making your enemies run away with such a simple trick.”

“Yeah, he’s definitely a great guy. Not only does he have excellent skills as a warrior, but he also knows how to bring victory in war. When he is an enemy, no one is as dangerous as this, but when he becomes an ally, he is truly reassuring.”

The demons nodded their heads and expressed sympathy at Samson’s words as he spoke with a smile.

In this way, Samson and his men who won the victory once again strengthened their trust in the hero who led this plan.

*

The moment Samson and his crew occupied Calvary,

Throughout the Demon Kingdom, ‘victories’ similar to those that occurred here at Calvary were continuing at the same time.

An absurdly large number of troops from the Demon King’s army and the soldiers of the Tribal Union who gave up resistance in fear.

Although some of them continued their will to fight to the end in spite of this fearful situation, the number of such areas was not so large.

There are few people who can claim their honor to the end in a situation where there is no hope.

Especially if it is the longevity who is responsible for the situation.

In the case of ordinary soldiers, it was not easy to give up the will to do something even at the cost of their lives.

This was especially true in a situation where despair and death were felt through the skin.

In this way, the Demons were able to achieve the result of recovering most of the remaining territories at a time when their direct combat power was showing the bottom in the face of the end of the offensive.

In addition, through the soldiers who fled, the result of breaking the enemy’s remaining will to fight was also achieved as a bonus.

But,

Even in this situation, some castles were burning their will to resist until the end,

As a result, those who led only a small number of troops felt a little embarrassed, but decided to wait for a while, report the situation, and calmly wait for reinforcements.

In the first place, this was unavoidable as the troops were moved with an emphasis on deception rather than direct combat.

And among those who feel frustrated in such a situation,

She was also included, who has been in a turbulent mood lately.

*

The Galilee Castle in front of you.

Looking at the place occupied by elves, she…

Elisa was automatically frowning and feeling deep annoyance.

“anyway… Those filthy elves really have needlessly high egos.”

The elven soldiers of Galilee are still showing a stubborn attitude with the castle gates locked tightly despite the deceit they practiced as the hero told them and the invitation to surrender.

Regarding this, Elisa began to seriously consider whether to infiltrate herself and sever the enemy general’s head, while waiting for support as she had previously said, but she soon shook her head about that.

‘Of course, with my skills, it wouldn’t be impossible, but if I did that for no reason, it might only boost the morale of the enemies, because people can sometimes become more courageous in the face of death.’

Deciding not to aggravate the situation by doing such a stupid thing, Elisa observes the surroundings of the castle while giving the soldiers a break.

and…

In the free time I had,

Elisa thought for a while about what she was worried about recently,

She began to wonder if her mother, the person she loved most, might have something to do with the hero in her heart.

‘Once we released people to investigate, something might come out… What if Mama really had that kind of relationship with the Hero? Of course, it’s true that Mama is more mature and prettier than me, but… ‘

Although her mother, Elias, who is about to turn 400 this year, her appearance was still young and beautiful.

Elias, who is so beautiful that it is hard to believe that she is a widow with a grown-up daughter.

It wasn’t necessarily because she was her mother, but objectively speaking, a woman like Elias was enough for men to fall in love with at first sight.

Elisa, on the other hand, had a complex about her appearance being immature for her age.

At first glance, it is inevitable to give the impression of a younger sister or daughter rather than a lover.

While thinking about that, Elisa suddenly began to smile bitterly at the corners of her lips without even realizing it.

‘ha… me really I never thought that the day would come when I would feel jealous because of Hada Hada Mama’s appearance…’

Elisa let out a deep sigh as she felt a strange sense of urgency about this situation.

at that time…

“Elisa, this is the report!”

“report?”

Looking at the manager who hurriedly ran and talked

Elisa began to feel a little suspicious.

Then, the manager immediately started talking about the situation he had just seen.

“A group of enemies have appeared from the byway to the west. From the circumstances, it seems that they are trying to enter the city of Galilee.”

“What? You mean their rescuers came this far away?”

In fact, it was Galilee, an isolated place like an isolated island in the middle of the occupied territory of the demons.

As Elisa knew that their situation was not good enough to send support to a place like this, the appearance of a new enemy was really unexpected.

But,

About this, the manager told her in a cautious voice.

“It seems that way, but… I honestly can’t be sure. There are too few of them to be called saviors.”

“What level do you think it is?”

“It’s a scale of less than 100 people to catch a lot.”

“Only 100 people?”

Certainly, that level of troops seemed insignificant as they were much smaller than those in the castle.

However, since there are some suspicious parts on their own, Elisa began to feel the need to find out the details.

“First of all, to guide you, I have to judge them by looking at them myself.”

“Yes, I understand, Miss Elisha.”

Elisa, along with the manager, arrived at the forest road where they were coming.

However, right after that, among the cautiously moving ‘rescuers’, Elisa was able to find a familiar face.

‘That year is definitely… ‘

A female paladin who appears to be the leader of the group.

Elisa could recognize who she was at a glance.

A person who was a member of the warrior party that invaded the Devil Castle in the past, and a person who confronted her in a short moment.

and…

One of the ‘traitors’ who was said to have provided a decisive opportunity for the hero to turn his back on the tribal union and become a member of the demons.

While remembering these facts,

A cold smile automatically began to form on Elisa’s lips.
