Return of the Frozen Player 619
Karshut Mine (1)
A huge army entered the mine.
Two top-level demons, 30 high-level demons, and even 3,000 soldiers.
The demon who took the lead of the intimidating army opened its mouth.
“I am Haran. report the current situation
do it.”
At those words, the demon who was the general manager of the mine opened his mouth with a strong military discipline.
“Look, it’s an honor to meet you! The power itself is taut! It has been confirmed that Viscount Malcolm and Viscount De Vie lead the enemy lines, with 25 advanced demons under them!”
“Malcolm and Deviera… …
After thinking for a while, Haran turned his head.
“Fricks. Can you deal with Malcolm?”
“enough. I got the upper hand a few times against that slow bastard.”
“Good.”
Haran nodded his head coolly.
It was because, in his view, the level of a commander was higher.
The number of high-ranking demons was also five more.
“As long as you and I are defending this place, I don’t think anyone would dare to cross the front line without being crazy.”
Crossing the frontline in the first place means an all-out war.
It has been quite a long time since such an all-out war did not take place in this land.
After the 4th Earl system was completed, no one wanted to fight first.
“I think this time, it will end as the enemy retreats after a moderate confrontation.”
“Every time.”
“Still, let’s not let go of the tension.”
“Call me if something happens.”
As Friggs left for his room, Harran went into the temporary barracks and looked at the map of the battle line.
Certainly, the front lines of the western guys were long.
‘The gap of the last half year… … It must have made us look funny.’
He was the only demon who knew why the South had banned foreign activities for the past half year.
Because Count Gorgon had instructed him to lock the South himself.
‘What the hell is that human?’
He had served the count for decades, but he always felt regretful about this judgment.
As a result, he couldn’t kill a human despite taking such a loss.
Hearing that he was under such pressure from light Westerners because of one guy like that made me feel feverish for no reason.
“Zu” 才”、.
Thanks to them, I had to stay here for two weeks at the shortest and two months at the longest.
‘It must be boring.’
A confrontational situation in which he reveals his teeth and growls even though he is not going to fight properly.
There won’t be a battlefield as boring as that.
However, Haran’s expectations were spectacularly wrong.
* * *
“Supply has been cut off.”
The next morning, Haran frowned at the mine manager’s report.
“What does that mean?”
“No, literally. Supplies that were supposed to come to the front disappeared like ghosts in the middle.”
Supplies are gone.
With that one word, the air in the barracks became cold.
said Freix.
“So what do you mean? If you are cut off, apply again.”
“But when will you receive it again… …
“Is there not enough food for the army?”
“I have enough for a week.”
“Only a week?”
Haran frowned.
“Why is there only that?”
“Originally, additional supplies should have arrived today. Then it was calculated that there would be no problem with food to feed the newly joined soldiers… …
“That seems to have been cut off.”
The uneasiness was evident in his voice.
Haran saw the demons watching me
I ignored it and tapped on the desk.
‘It was twisted from the start.’
The most important thing in war was food, not soldiers or longevity.
Because you can’t display 100% of your skills when you’re hungry.
“I can’t help it.”
Haran sighed and opened his mouth.
“I will give you the soldiers, so plunder the food from the nearby territory.”
“Yes, I understand.”
Since the harvest season has passed, if food is taken away now, the village will starve to death.
all.
No one knew that, but the answer came without hesitation.
“Not only that, but ask for supplies to be sent once again. This time, send five high-ranking demons to safely escort the movement of supplies.”
“All right.”
I thought this would put an end to the supply issue.
However, two days later, incomprehensible sad news arrived one after another.
“Oh, no!”
“What do you mean?”
“No village, no food! It’s like a city of ghosts!”
At that report, Haran and Prince looked at each other.
Both of their expressions became serious.
‘The village’s buildings and objects are still intact, but only the members and food are completely gone?’
Haran asked.
“Are there any traces of battle or bloodstains?”
“None.”
Massacre by overwhelming force.
I couldn’t help but think like that.
Haran lowered his voice.
“Fricks. Who do you suspect?”
“They are westerners. Aren’t you fighting with us?”
At those words, Haran made a pitiful expression.
He groaned at the pitiful gaze directed at him.
“Why are you looking at me like that? I feel bad.”
“Think about it. In a few towns, too
The demons, numbering over a thousand, disappeared like ghosts. Is this something that most demons can do on their own?”
“Well, it won’t be easy, but it’s something I can do right now… … ah!”
Only then did Friggs realize the gist of his words and stiffen his face.
“Unless the westerners put a stone in your head, there’s no reason to come over here alone and do that shit.”
“Accurate. If a guy like that came over in the first place, there’s no way we wouldn’t have noticed.”
“What about that?”
“… … It means that the enemy is not only on the other side of the line.”
There are a total of 31 top-class demons under Gorgon’s command.
Naturally, due to the structure of the Demon Realm, they were both colleagues and competitors.
“Damn it, can’t this crap!?”
Priggs was furious with the momentum to run away at any moment.
When I realized why the supply was cut off and I couldn’t find food after that.
It is a door.
“Harran. You must inform the count immediately of this fact. I can’t let that trash eat some power.”
“To agree.”
Haran nodded and looked at him.
“But from what has happened so far, it seems that they are determined to immerse us.”
If it wasn’t for that, there’s no way I’d be doing something so obvious.
They must be trying to make themselves die in this mine somehow.
Of course, they would have expected that they would even ask for help from the Count.
“… … I don’t think I can reach the Count by sending a tolerable force.”
“That’s it.”
The two of them nodded their heads in agreement.
“Fricks. Tonight, quietly leave the mine and go to the Count.”
“I get it. I will tell the count everything that happened here, and I will dig into the case.”
Are you going to give up the Karshut Mine to the enemies to bury the two top-class demons?
The moment Count Gorgon found out about this, his anger would be unleashed on those who plotted this.
“I’ll be back with food in a week.”
“I will believe and wait.”
The two commanders nodded.
* * *
When night fell, Friggs quietly left the mine.
After lightly ignoring the eyes of the guards, he started running through the wilderness at a terrifying speed.
‘wait. These crap things.’
Fast!
I couldn’t even take a nap because I was curious about who it was that made me suffer like this.
If the truth is revealed, I will ask the Count to cut his throat with my own hands.
‘Has it already been five hours? At this speed, 30 hours at the latest… … ?’
At that time, Freecs, who had been running for a while, stopped walking.
Because someone was standing on the barren land.
Priggs’ eyes narrowed.
“Are you a bastard?”
“Well, if it weren’t for that, I wouldn’t be standing in a place like this at midnight wearing a suspicious mask like that.”
Take off the cloak that Friggs was wearing
threw
I don’t know if that guy is the highest level demon or not, but it was clear that he was at least one of them.
“Don’t let me tear that mouth open.”
As Friggs lunged toward the opponent, the masked man stepped lightly on the advance.
Blasphemy!
‘ ice?’
A pillar of ice protrudes from the floor.
The opponent picked it up and swung it wide.
“Crazy!”
Who the hell would answer such an obvious attack?
Moreover, he is so confident in his speed that he is called ‘The Flash’.
“..!?”
But something was strange.
I definitely avoided it, but the moment the ice pillar came up, I figured out the opponent’s attack range and moved in advance.
‘Why are you here today?’
Are you slow?
the moment you have such a question.
A cold, heavy pillar hit his temple.
Aaaaaang!
“Cuck! Kut.”
cry, cry
The head is broken.
Priggs stood up, noticing that his thinking slowed down.
‘If I stay still, I will die.’
Survival instinct even with a broken head
because it felt
Fortunately, his resilience was at a high level even among the highest level demons.
‘A broken head recovers in about two minutes.’
In other words, you only have to fight for the next two minutes to avoid an all-out war.
‘Then I’ll have to distance myself first.’
One step back for two steps forward.
Friggs started to run away without looking back.
”.!?”
But before I knew it, the vast wilderness was blocked.
Because a wall made of pitch-black walls had been built.
“73rd in the Pandemonium Ranking, the highest level Demon, the Flash of Light.”
A voice calling to you from behind.
Those adjectives that I’ve always felt proud of sounded unappealing for some reason today.
“Is it just this much?”
The man in the black mask finally muttered and removed the pillar of ice he was holding.
put it back into the ground.
What a bummer!
The illusion that the world is frozen.
That was the last scene Freix saw in his life.
Things worked out better than expected.
Seo Jun-ho took off his mask and approached the corpse of Freecs.
-You’re weaker than I thought.
“I’m disappointed. It’s just that this is the highest level of demons.”
In a way, it was natural.
Because these guys were afraid and the owner who trembled was on the same level as himself.
“Confessions of a Dead Man.”
Seo Jun-ho, who completely ate up the memory of Frix, nodded.
“At least a guy named Haran knows how to roll his head.”
– That’s good.
“I’m glad.”
Thanks to that, his plan is getting more and more perfect.
‘A habit of demons who first suspect their allies behind their backs before suspecting their enemies.’
If you use that part well, it doesn’t seem difficult to win against two corps.
– But a partner. If the highest level is like this, wouldn’t it be possible to injure and kill from the front without complicating things?
“It is possible, but what I want is not their death.”
Your current goal is much more than that.
more bloated
“To spread the clouds of war created with my own hands throughout the demon realm.”
that was his goal.
The moment the balance that has been maintained for decades is broken, uncontrollable flames will rage across the continent.
Then there will be an opportunity to knock on the strong castles of the counts, who cannot see any gaps to get into.
