152 – The Turning Point (3)

Turning Point (3)

I didn’t feel good.

That’s not a cool-headed judgment, it’s just a feeling.

Liris, who was aware of that fact, laughed.

“Second Corps Commander, His Majesty is in a very bad mood right now.”

It was ridiculous to see him relying solely on his intuition to block someone who had better intuition than anyone else.

Second said as he looked at Lilith blocking the way to the audience room.

“I have something important to tell you.”

“Come next time.”

“Is that the right thing to do?”

“well.”

Lilith had to be nervous.

If Second wanted to, she would become a corpse without even realizing that she was dying.

Second is already a bad person. He clashes with First at every turn and scorches the surrounding area, and he is just trying to stop the monster with just a little bit of confidence.

‘Even if I explain it logically, it’s not enough. What the heck is this… … .’

Lilith closed her eyes tightly.

Even though he was tightly wrapped around me, he did not back down.

However, despite Lilith’s determination, Second was a more rational person than she thought.

“This is really important. It could cause major problems in future work.”

The Second sought to persuade rather than force Lilith out.

He hates bullying the weak. He fights First and Day because he is stronger than him.

“Are you saying that you will report such an important matter directly to the Demon King without going through me, the Chief of Staff?”

Thanks to Second’s rational attitude, Lilith was also able to calm her mind. She took advantage of the special nature of her position, which she usually did not exercise, to stop Second.

“……Right.”

The second agreed.

He could vaguely understand why she was stopping him.

And the way he was blocking me while trembling like that reminded me of his childhood friend.

“I just came back from defeating Legion Commander Third.”

“……yes?”

That’s why the second said, showing respect for the other person.

The reason you came here, the reason you have to decide.

“I did. I kept bugging you so I took you down in the ranking battle.”

“No, no… … Wait a minute… … .”

“Now he can neither stand on the battlefield nor perform his duties as a soldier, so I forcibly discharged him.”

“Wait a minute… I told you to wait a minute! What are you talking about!”

“… … .”

Lilith screamed, then quickly covered her mouth.

That was because what Second was saying was ridiculous, and at the same time, he knew what would happen if those words reached Belphegor’s ears.

“Legion Commander Second, there’s no way I would have fought Third just because you were annoying me.”

“I don’t know. How well do you know me?”

“Yes, I don’t know. But I know Mr. Third well. He came to see me often.”

“… … .”

Third was one of the few high-ranking officers in the Demon King’s Army, and he often visited Liris, who was also a woman.

Garnet was scary because she had a vicious personality, but Lilith seemed cold but had rich emotions in her own way.

There were many instances where Third would tease Lilith, and Lilith would often hang out with Third.

I don’t know if it’s enough to call him a friend… but he’s at least an acquaintance.

Third liked Second so much that he knew that release was coming.

And just hearing that third story, I could tell how much Second cared for her.

It’s practically like a bodhisattva.

From noble mtl dot nete

The fact that Second has taken care of Third, who has committed all sorts of antics, up until now means that Second cherishes Third that much.

That’s why I didn’t understand why Second excluded Third simply because he was arrogant.

“On purpose… … Yes, you did it on purpose. You wanted to make Corps Commander Third defect from the Demon King’s army… … .”

“under!”

The second clicked his tongue.

Lilith simply made a conclusion based on what she knew. Because it was so accurate.

Honestly, I was surprised. I thought she was just a parachute, but she was showing abilities beyond my expectations.

Second has never made it known that he favors Third.

He always seemed irritated, angry, and kicking my butt.

Even after seeing that, I was able to gather the incoherent words that Third usually spoke and arrive at the perfect answer.

If it were anyone else, I would have thought he couldn’t stand it anymore and exploded.

“Well, that’s what happened.”

“What happened? Are you crazy? Have you lost your mind?”

The second didn’t necessarily deny it. It was an irrelevant issue anyway.

“If that’s the case, then it would be better to come back later… … . Right now, Your Majesty is in a very… … .”

No matter how much she tried to stop him,

“Tell them to come in.”

There’s no way Belphegor didn’t hear the commotion at the door.

In the first place, Second did not report to Lilith, but to Belphegor, who was sleeping inside.

Unless she’s sleeping, there’s no way she wouldn’t hear.

And the one who told me that fact was none other than Lilith. Didn’t she tell me to go back today because Belphegor wasn’t in a good mood?

“That’s what they say.”

Second shrugged his shoulders and opened the door to the audience room and went in.

He has no intention of running away from his responsibility. He has made mistakes out of selfishness and has no intention of revealing them at this time.

He is a man who has sworn to be loyal to the Demon King’s army.

Although I made a mistake by leaving Third, I didn’t want to turn a blind eye to the responsibility.

“second.”

Second, who entered the audience room like that, looked up at Belphegor, who was leaning on the throne with a languid look, and soon knelt down.

“Do you want to die?”

“If you wish, you may punish me like that.”

“Do you understand what you have done?”

“yes.”

“okay.”

Hurrah!

Blue flames cover the scene of the audience room for a moment. It is a skill that the Demon King, Belphegor, often shows, where he seems to cover the space itself.

Second, he still couldn’t grasp the power that he had seen so many times before. However, he could be sure that if Belphegor wanted to, he wouldn’t be able to resist.

“Now that the Third Army has left, the Third Army has become a rabble.”

“… … .”

“If we stand on the front lines, we won’t receive proper command and will be annihilated. And since these units are focused on supporting the Third Army, they will be pushed back in an instant.”

The 3rd Corps was formed into a deformed form to assist in the welcome of the Third.

It consists of only two people: a magic unit that uses large-scale annihilation magic and a shield soldier that blocks the front line.

A unit focused solely on defense and offense, without infantry or knights.

This is because the illusion of the third can deceive the enemies between rituals that take a long time.

If a huge firework suddenly falls from the sky, people will be suspicious. They will judge a phenomenon that occurs without warning to be some kind of illusion.

But what if it was after seeing the large-scale annihilation magic that countless soldiers had previously performed?

At that time, even they could not hastily conclude that it was an illusion.

That is why the Third Corps also served as a mobile artillery unit that unleashed overwhelming firepower.

“If the shield is breached after using ritual magic once and before the next ritual can be prepared, it will be a total annihilation.”

“… … .”

“Second, tell me. Did you really think it was right to weigh all their lives on the scales before making your decision?”

You can’t bite them.

This fight will be an all-out war that will determine the fate of the Demon World.

You think it won’t be of much help? But you still have to use it.

Weren’t they soldiers trained for war and given the corresponding privileges?

If we remove them from the front simply because they lost their commander, there will be discontent in the other legions.

And it’s obvious what soldiers who are anxious about going to war will think.

“Your one action will cause quite a disaster.”

Among them, there will be a group that wants to eliminate the commander and run away.

In other words, the possibility of a coup d’état arises. Of course, it will be a difficult war, so who wouldn’t feel despair if one entire corps were to be lost?

“The 3rd Corps will be used as bait. Don’t forget that you are the one who is responsible.”

“your majesty.”

“Okay, second. If you have anything to say, say it.”

“Can we be of any help to you?”

“… … .”

Second knows.

The power of Demon King Belphegor is a power that even a hundred people like him could not overcome.

Why was she gathering soldiers and officers like that?

If I went to conquer the human world alone, I would be able to wipe out the empire more quickly and reliably.

Second thought that if Third died on the front lines, it would be because of Belphegor’s violence. That would be the most likely cause of death.

“Do you think I should shoulder everything and fight on my own?”

“… … .”

Belphegor’s response to him was surprising.

The second, who had been speaking with a sense of complaint, was left speechless.

“I’m just curious. Do you think it would be best if I sacrifice myself and the Demon World becomes peaceful?”

“your majesty.”

“Oh, yes. That must be so. I asked a pointless question. Of course it would be so. That’s the natural thing to do.”

Belphegor laughed at himself.

The power she held within herself. The current situation. Everything seemed to be forcing her to make sacrifices alone.

She now knows why the Pope gave her power.

Knowing that, I decided to lead the Demon King’s army.

“But I have no intention of searching alone or of giving to you.”

There is a cause.

There is a reason for that.

However, she has no intention of making the sacrifice alone.

She is not just a kind and gentle person, and she has no intention of taking on a burden that is heavier than her responsibility.

“Remember, Second. Either everyone dies or everyone lives.”

Yes, she is not their god, she is only their monarch.
