The Guild Master of Demon Hunters that the Empire is Obsessed With - The Guild Master of Demon Hunters that the Empire is Obsessed With chapter 141

141 – Unknown Object (3)

It’s not that warlocks are hard to find, but it’s very rare for them to appear in the world so openly and be active.

Something is a bit suspicious.

“But do you also mobilize guilds?”

“I was already writing an official document right now. I’m only informing Mr. Leonard of this, but the mobilization order was issued today, so he will be deployed the day after tomorrow.”

“Okay. Then I will know that and prepare.”

When I returned to the guild, I gathered the guild members together and explained the current situation.

Rutger is a county located in the southern part of the principality.

It has been a place of conflict with the Feran resistance for over 50 years.

The Feran Resistance is a group that operates further south than Rutger, and in modern times, they are like a Middle Eastern terrorist group.

Their argument is that Rutger is their land and that the Rutger count who illegally occupied the land must be driven out.

Naturally, Rutger dismissed it as nonsense and has been fighting for fifty years.

So whose claim is true?

I know the answer, as I know everything about the game’s settings.

The Feran resistance group is a bunch of scum.

The Feran Resistance Army are those who moved north from the southern part of the continent.

They were originally citizens of the Feran Republic in the south, but when a war broke out with a neighboring country, they refused military service because they did not want to fight, abandoned their country, and cowardly fled.

The place they fled to was the County of Rutger, which borders the lower part of the principality.

At that time, the count took pity on the refugees who had lost their country and took them over as a county.

However, since it was impossible to feed that large population for free, the count rented land to them and encouraged them to engage in economic activities.

But Ferran’s refugees rejected it.

There is no way these people who ran away, leaving their family and country because they didn’t want to die, would suddenly follow that when they are suddenly told to work in another country to make a living.

The Feran refugees opposed the county’s policies and formed their own faction, establishing their own territory and starting to plunder the county’s interior.

Meanwhile, crimes such as massacre and rape increased explosively, and the count, who was angry to the end, mobilized a private army to suppress the Ferans.

However, the empire suddenly intervenes and threatens that ethnic cleansing is not right, so the count is unable to evict the Feran refugees and ends up creating an autonomous region and imprisoning them.

That autonomous region has developed into the current Feran resistance group, and has continued to commit all kinds of vicious acts, making absurd claims that the county was originally their land.

Accordingly, the principality is pouring enormous support into the county to prevent the Feran resistance from moving further north.

It was hoped that it would prevent not only the Feran Resistance Army, but also the second Feran Resistance Army from rising from the southern part of the continent, which has been completely destroyed by the current civil war.

The interests of the principality, which feels burdened by border contact with extreme terrorist groups, and the county, which wants to continue protecting the land that has been passed down for generations, are aligned, maintaining a mutually symbiotic relationship.

Nevertheless, the reason Feran does not fall is all because of the empire.

In order to continue to interfere with the principalities that won the war of independence and escaped from the imperial territory, the empire is looking after the Feran resistance and continuously putting pressure on the principalities and counties.

Maybe that warlock was also someone secretly sent by the empire.

“But I’m curious!”

Celestine raised her hand.

“Then, in the fight between the noble family and the resistance, why is the principality’s guild going? If the principality provides support, shouldn’t the principality’s army go?”

“I guess it’s because I can’t help you outright.”

“Why?”

“If you help outrightly, the empire that supports Feran will also overtly help you. Then, the war could expand not just to Rutger, but to the entire principality.”

“Is that so? Then shouldn’t I go to the guild?”

“Because we are not a regular army. We will probably become mercenaries and enter the battlefield by signing a contract with Rutger.”

“I have one more question.”

“What is it?”

“If that’s the case, wouldn’t it be okay to disguise the principality’s army and let them in?”

“Uh, what is it?”

Lucene was surprised.

“You’re surprisingly capable of thinking, aren’t you?”

“I’m not stupid?!”

Hehe, so cute.”

Lucene grabbed Celestine’s cheek and stretched it.

“We will rotate some troops and put them in that way. But we are short on numbers. Since we are on the border with the empire, we cannot take out many troops. So we are gathering guilds and mercenaries to make up for the lack of numbers.”

“I completely understand.”

Celestine nodded with an expression of half understanding.

“Maybe we should go for a rear infiltration or something?”

I shrugged my shoulders in response to Lucene’s question.

“I’m not sure. But looking at the composition, I think it might be like that.”

“If we just get rid of that warlock, it’s all over, right?”

“That’s right. Let’s kill them as quickly as possible as soon as they are deployed.”

Lucene suddenly hugged Ornette, who was sitting next to her.

“Ugh, what?!”

“I’m looking forward to it, Something. I’ll pierce the dark wizard’s heart with a magic beam that’s faster than light and more powerful than a tidal wave!”

“I feel like my bones will break…” ” !”

“I,,, nooooo,,, ohooooom,,, right now,,, master,,, let go of you,,, la,,, inooooo,, ohooom,,,”

In the midst of all the noise, only Leah sat quietly with her mouth shut.

“Leana.”

“Yes, manager.”

“What are you thinking?”

“Something is strange.”

“What?”

Leana stroked her hair.

“In the past, guilds were mobilized as Root Gergers. But I think it’s a little different now.”

It is said that the guild was mobilized like this only once when Leana’s father Lucas, the name of our guild, was the guild leader.

At that time, just like this time, Feran launched a large-scale offensive, but the difference from now is that the battle was carried out purely with the rotation of cold weapons.

It is said that Rutger was not pushed back at all, saying it was black magic or something like this.

“I think you need to be careful. That warlock is really suspicious.”

“I’m a little strange too. Maybe I’m not a warlock.”

“Then the devil?”

“If it’s a devil, it’s better. I can go alone. Let’s go and check first.”

“Hmm…Yeah…”

Leana slowly shook her head with a worried look on her face.

As Clemence said, guild mobilization was declared.

Of course, not publicly, but unofficially, government officials visited each guild and distributed orders.

The gathering place is an abandoned farm on the outskirts of the city.

There, the Montagne guild members who had responded to the mobilization had already come out and were waiting.

There seem to be more people than last time, about 30 people.

“Mr. Leonard.”

Renzo Montaigne, head of the Montaigne guild, greeted me warmly.

The appearance of a large body the size of Lucene with a long spear draped over its shoulder is quite threatening.

However, the simple face feels completely at odds with the muscular body.

“Hello to everyone else. It’s really nice to work together like this again.”

“Me too. But the number of people has increased?”

“Ah, yes. For this matter, we hastily recruited a few adventurers. They say they pay based on the number of people involved, so the more people there are, the better.”

“That’s right. We don’t have the capacity to expand further. I’m jealous.”

Actually, it’s a lie.

They don’t increase the number of people because they don’t want to receive half-baked money.

“Well, everyone’s gathered, right?”

After checking the entire list, Clemence looked back at Isiste standing next to him.

City Hall Wizard Isiste, a tattooed elf, looked at me with very anxious eyes.

Clemence probably brought us here to open a portal that will send us to Rutger.

However, out of fear of being scammed out of money, Ornette casts some kind of magic that restricts coordinate recognition, making it impossible to create a portal to the outside of the city.

He would probably never tell anyone about his fatal weakness, and he would be driven crazy by the prospect of having to open a portal right away.

“Ornette.”

“Yes.”

Ornette, who understood what I was saying just by calling my name her, lightly snapped her finger

Isiste sighed openly as she saw the portal opening in front of her.

So, who is going to steal the commission fee from a good demon hunter and then blame them?

You look like a pathetic elf.

“Let’s go!”

Renzo Montaigne shouted loudly and went over the portal in the lead.

Following them, guild members crossed the portal one after another.

When Ornette and I were the last to cross, Isiste suddenly grabbed me.

“Hey, Leonard.”

“Say thank you to him, not me.”

“Thank you. But that’s not it.”

Isiste pulled my ear.

“Don’t you think something is a little strange?”

“A story about a warlock?”

“Okay. What kind of crazy warlock in the world is setting things up so blatantly? I think there’s something different about this.”

“I don’t know. I’ll find out when I go. But don’t you think it would be better if I died?”

“What?”

“I have to die to escape the garnishment of my salary.”

“Hey! Is the salary a problem now? I’m going to use magic outside the city right now…”

Isiste glanced at Clemence standing over there and whispered lowly.

“If you and that wizard die, I will never be able to escape this spell, so make sure you come back alive. Otherwise, it’s really the end for me.”

“Okay. Okay, let go of your ears. It hurts.”

When Isiste let go of her ears, she took Ornette with her and went through the portal.
