The Military Chef of a Ruined World - Chapter 376



Only Noblemtl

Episode 376 War (1)

“You said this area was safe? We were openly attacked on the way here? Is this safe?”

“That’s not it… … !”

“What the heck!”

A moment away from people.

I started talking to Ariella alone.

“It’s a good thing the pick-up arrived just in time. If I had made a mistake, I could have been in big trouble there!”

“I’m sorry, I’m sorry!”

What is the content… … .

Of course, it was nagging.

‘I was really shocked.’

Of course, that’s obvious.

When I first arrived in Gyeonggi-do.

It was a huge struggle just to escape from here as quickly as possible.

‘It can’t be easy to bring that many people into the Demon Realm.’

The reason why that was possible is.

Just one.

“You said that if you just radiate vampire magic, no one will attack you. Are you lying to me?”

Almost half of it is mixed in my body.

It was because of the vampire’s magic.

‘The monsters of the Demon Realm respect the domain of the strong.’

And, there’s a reason it’s called a boss monster.

Ariella said that she quickly grew in power after being left behind in the Demon Realm.

At first, it was just Ariella herself and Lee Beom-jae.

It was difficult to increase the number of monsters.

‘After all, the monsters inside the Demon Realm weren’t even the targets of the [Seal].’

the other side.

Ariella’s powers may not be that strong, though.

This monster’s ability to increase its military power is so strong that it would normally be designated as a target for [Seal].

The seal was forcibly broken to protect that military unit.

‘Besides, I raised him with all my heart in that state.’

She is now a self-made vampire.

He is incomparably stronger than when we first met, when he was a baronet.

Even… … .

‘This guy is a little stronger than the giants I met inside that [gate].’

Of course, as an individual, my fighting ability would be considerably inferior to those giants.

To begin with, the Night Nobles are a race specialized in raising armies.

If you include that ability in the calculation.

As for its strength as a boss monster, it is comparable to the 20 leaders who were inside that gate.

Ariella’s side was a little higher.

Even if you had a hard time in the beginning.

In the end, the result was a smooth increase in power.

“That, that’s not a lie! From the moment we brought the monster that ruled this place into our retinue, all the monsters have become wary of us… …!”

One of the powerful rulers who originally ruled the Demon Realm.

Successfully made [Black Claw] into a ‘subordinate’.

Of course, I took over that area.

Because I defeated [Black Claw].

Other powerful monsters also became wary of Ariella’s power.

“Then who attacked me?”

“That guy is weird… … !”

“Excuses. You won’t be able to do it. When I just received the report, I thought you were doing a good job and even tried to reward you… … Let’s pretend that never happened.”

“Ah… … No… … ! The grace I’ve been waiting for for so long… … !”

But now I’m starting to despair at the thought of not getting my meals.

Certainly, it was a monster whose abilities had to be acknowledged.

‘These are the guys I was planning to use as my troops if all the humans in Gyeonggi-do were wiped out.’

Fortunately, the purpose was well suited.

It means that they have succeeded in gaining a certain level of power.

‘… … Actually, I would have liked to have used it to attack the source as well.’

At that time, it wasn’t as stable as it is now.

I only heard that the loss of troops was so great in the process of making [Black Claws] my subordinate that it was difficult to provide support.

but.

Quite a bit of time has passed since then.

“The enemies are coming.”

“… … Yes. I know from what I heard.”

“It is time to use your army.”

now.

It’s time to use this guy’s army.

‘It was almost a gamble to bring people here.’

If it is revealed that he is the master of the monsters, people will inevitably be reluctant to go.

Especially since the expeditionary force includes a [False Identification] ability.

Still, I had no choice but to utilize this guy’s army.

First of all, I won’t reveal that I am the owner of these guys.

It was vaguely passed over as a pledge or something… … .

“There are twelve monsters that seem to be specialized for combat, and they are at a similar level to you. The number of monsters following them is also enormous. How… … can you catch them?”

“… … Hohoho!”

Let me ask you a question like that.

Ariella said with a smile, covering her mouth with the back of her hand.

“Master, have you decided to cancel the favor you promised me?”

“……huh?”

“After you hear this part, I can’t help but give you grace.”

A guy who opens his mouth with full confidence.

“What are you so confident about? The number of monsters I sense around here is considerable, but… … I don’t think they’re enough to deal with the enemies I mentioned.”

“Surely, it would be difficult for my children to last long against such enemies. But… … .”

“huh?”

“On your way here, didn’t you see a few monsters with some pretty strong power?”

Yeah, that’s right.

I did see it.

“There were a few monsters that looked particularly strong.”

Although it may not be as good as Ariel or those giants.

When I saw that magic, they were just a very light blue color.

Or, like Kkamang or Alaune, they were summoned in a weakened state for some reason and the seal did not work.

Or maybe it was a monster that had recently awakened from its seal.

“These are the guys who are currently sharing the power of the Demon Realm with me. They all have quite a large territory.”

“huh?”

In that regard.

I tilted my head and asked.

“Why did I see those guys? This is your territory.”

I moved in a straight line towards Ariella’s territory.

If I had just wandered around without knowing anything about the monsters’ territory like [the raid team], then it would have been different.

On the way to Ariella’s territory, there was no reason to encounter so many forces.

“It’s not because that’s their territory.”

“then?”

“I called you.”

“……huh?”

“Those guys were talking to me here until a little while ago. Then they ran into the master on their way back.”

Smile.

“You said the enemies coming at you were that strong?”

“……yes.”

“We too… … no.”

Ariella.

He said with a confident smile.

“[The Demonic Realm] won’t be easy either, right?”

* * *

“Ah… … Youngjun!”

“You’re back!”

When Shin Young-jun returned from his trip to talk to the Queen.

The leaders of each group came out to greet him.

“… … I heard that you had a conversation with that being called the Queen.”

“How was your conversation?”

“Yes, for now.”

Park Jung-gu opened his mouth carefully.

“… …Can I ask what kind of conversation you had?”

“It was nothing special. I was just wondering if you could join me in fighting those monsters.”

“Then the answer is… … ?”

“Fortunately, the conversation went well.”

It wasn’t enough that I suddenly entered the demon realm.

Those who entered the monsters’ nest.

People were very confused.

Still.

These monsters were gentle towards them.

There were also often monsters that could talk.

“The Queen and her monsters will fight alongside us.”

“… … Oh!”

There were many people who were reluctant to fight alongside monsters.

However, these are the people who saw the mighty giant in person.

It was a joyous thing that a force that could provide even a little help had emerged.

“Is this the reinforcements you were talking about… …!”

“yes.”

“Wow, I can handle these monsters… … .”

“It’s a bit of a stretch to say that I can handle it. After all, this time my interests are aligned with that of the Queen.”

To be precise.

I would say that before that, the power wasn’t as strong as it was now.

‘At this point… … I think we can say that the power of the association has increased by about 1.5 times.’

It’s a huge power boost.

……of course.

“Even so, it won’t be easy to defeat those monsters.”

“Well, I guess so.”

The power is still overwhelmingly inferior.

It would be impossible to beat them.

But whatever.

“You don’t necessarily have to win.”

“… … ?”

Leaving Jo Beom-seok behind, looking puzzled.

I went to see Kim Jong-du and said.

“This magic… … Yes. Youngjun’s magic comes from here… … .”

“Mr. Jongdu.”

“Oh, yep!”

“Mr. Jongdu, please build a barrier here.”

“A barrier here?”

In that regard.

Kim Jong-doo answered in surprise.

“Did the Queen give permission for that?”

“Yes. How long do you think it will take?”

“Hmm. It depends.”

“What do you mean?”

“When building a wall, I use the ability called [Construction Command]. It’s a power that allows me to use other Awakened people as my workers. When I only use Awakened people from our Eastern Branch, there’s a limit to how fast I can do it. However, if I can use the Association’s elite Awakened people, the speed will be much faster.”

“Oh, if that’s the case.”

Let me have positive luck.

Jongdu said with a cheerful expression.

“Can we mobilize Awakened people from other branches?”

“Yes, no. That won’t work.”

“……huh?”

The Awakened have a lot to do.

There is no room for mobilization in construction.

so…….

-Creoooooo… … .

“Don’t you think these guys would do a good job?”

“… … .”

like that.

The result of mobilizing monsters.

“Completing the barrier this quickly… … .”

“Mr. Jongdu, your skills seem to have improved tremendously… …!”

At an unbelievably fast pace.

A huge barrier has taken hold within the magic realm.

* * *

A gigantic structure built deep within the forest of the Demon Realm.

The wall, which Jongdu commanded with all his might and the monsters of the Demon Realm used all their might to procure supplies and build, was quite high.

It’s not that bad compared to some of the barriers on the ground.

and.

Because it was so high.

“… … .”

“Gulp.”

Those who climbed the wall are far away.

I could see a figure approaching from outside the forest.

‘Giants… … .’

With powerful giants made of some unknown steel-like substance.

Following the giant.

A horde of countless monsters.

The moment when Jongdu used all his might to complete the barrier.

The army of ‘Belsnickel’.

Arrived in front of the magic mirror.

* * *

Giants lined up in front of the Demonic Realm.

An army of countless monsters led by those giants.

“… … What is that?”

“If the battle took place at the epicenter, the number would have been reduced like that. Why does it seem like it has increased… …?”

People who saw the crowd muttered.

As you said.

Their numbers were originally large.

In the battle at that epicenter, we were able to annihilate a significant number of enemies.

nevertheless.

The enemies approaching now are at the level of having restored all the enemies we had destroyed back then.

No… … it seemed like a larger number.

and.

Let’s keep that number in front of us.

“… … Those twelve giants came at once.”

“D, d-d… … When I was stalling at the barrier, I only had to stop them one or two at a time… …!”

Among the people looking down at that distant place.

I felt the nursery rhyme spreading.

‘While I was unconscious… …you said you fought those giants a few times.’

A battle to slow down the advance of the giants.

What was the content of that battle?

When I see people’s morale deteriorating.

I had a rough idea.

That was when.

-Native species!!!

“… … !”

As we can look down on them from the top of the wall.

Could they have seen us from afar?

They noticed our presence and shouted.

-Is this the only place you ended up after running away so cowardly?

A cry that is not a medium for air, but a medium for the soul.

Even from far away, the cry of that soul reached our souls.

‘… … This is not good.’

I looked at the giant who was screaming.

[Knight Commander of the Frozen Kingdom, Ariadon of the Icehead]

He’s the commander of the knights.

I felt it when I saw it inside that [gate].

Those guys had a system.

That’s why I could tell.

‘They’re trying to cut down on fraud.’

A gentleman named Commander of the Knights is about to go to war.

What do you want to do to us?

-I can feel your souls. And the souls of the bloody things you’re with!

“… … !”

For a monster like that, strength isn’t everything.

It’s natural to have special abilities.

That’s why.

-That’s all I got after running away so hard!

“… … !”

With the humans of the association.

Vampires.

“You inferior demon… … dare to evaluate the noble army.”

How much power does it have?

It seemed like I had some idea of ​​what that ‘Commander of the Knights’ was.

-You’re trying to stop us with that much power… …It’s just ridiculous.

With those words.

The guys took a deep breath.

Paaaa …

From the bodies of the twelve giants on the other side.

A tremendous amount of cold air comes out.

and.

“… … This is!”

The Awakened ones looked confused and rolled up their sleeves.

Then what is there is.

“The frost… … .”

“It’s cold, it’s cold.”

The devil.

Normal frost shouldn’t be able to appear here near that black wall emitting heat.

The cold air those souls carry.

It has reached here.

‘… … This is a bit overwhelming.’

A power that even bewilders me.

I could feel those who felt that power being bewildered.

“Well, those guys are right.”

“No matter how much the Queen’s monster helps… … .”

Contrary to expectations that it would be a simple invasion and battle.

Those guys are talking to us.

They showed their power first.

“Those monsters… … .”

“There’s no way we can win.”

Because of that.

The unrest among the people grows more and more.

‘… … The morale barely rose thanks to Ariella’s monsters joining the army.’

Even the giant’s declaration that that is meaningless.

It was being cut down mercilessly.

“This is not good. I never thought those giants would use such a strategy… … !”

Jo Beom-seok muttered in embarrassment at the sight.

‘The morale of the allies is more important than anything else in battle.’

That knight commander knows that too.

From the beginning, they tried to break the morale of their troops.

“This won’t do, we have to start the battle before morale drops further!”

Jo Beom-seok is in a hurry.

But before the morale could drop any further, we prepared to deploy our forces.

“no.”

“what?”

“It’s still too early to take off.”

To my words:

Jo Beom-seok said with a look of incomprehension.

“What are you talking about! If we continue like this, our troops’ morale will only fall further!”

“… … Well, I guess so?”

“That must be true, Rani… … !”

If we continue like this.

The morale of our troops is further reduced.

That’s right.

but…….

That’s just it

“This is what happens if things continue like this.”

“……what?”

“Ah, I didn’t want to do this again because my throat hurt. Ahem, okay.”

I concentrated all my body’s magical power on my neck.

I shouted as loud as I could.

{All troops listen!!!}

* * *

{All troops, listen up!}

“This voice… … ?”

“It’s Shin Young-jun.”

It is certain that it has tremendous power.

A man whose identity is still not well known.

But still.

Because of his abilities, he was the most influential person in the association.

“no way.”

“Did that guy come up with some kind of method again?”

A while ago.

When the expeditionary force was ambushed at the barrier.

The voice that gave them instructions to survive.

“There might be a way to beat them… … !”

As soon as someone hears that voice.

I thought maybe there was a way to win here.

“… … I wonder if there will be any.”

still.

Most people looked at the giant’s army with expressions full of despair.

“By any operation… … .”

“No one can beat that kind of power.”

Even if the legendary general comes back to life.

Just as one soldier cannot defeat thousands of soldiers.

In the first place.

The difference in power was too great to be done through an operation.

‘You’re trying to say that we can defeat those monsters, right?’

‘But… … no matter how outstanding that gentleman’s abilities are, it is impossible to win against numbers like that.’

rather.

Some people, caught up in negative emotions, thought:

“To say that we can win here is… … .”

“In the end, it’s just a deception.”

Making the impossible possible.

That it would be a deception to them.

however.

{we are!!!}

“… … You’re trying to say that you can win or something… … .”

{You can’t beat them!}

The next story you hear is:

I couldn’t help but be flustered.

“……uh?”

“You can’t win?”

A story that will undermine the morale of our troops.

Because it was something that had no reason to be said in the current situation.

{But don’t despair! The Association is not alone!}

“You’re not alone.”

{The Queen’s Retinue!}

With that being said.

-Creeeeeeek!!!

Monsters with red eyes.

He becomes very excited and runs over the barrier.

okay.

The Queen’s retinue is with them.

They knew it too.

Still, I feel like I can’t beat them.

Now this is the cause of the decline in morale… … .

{and!}

“… … !?”

Being with the association.

It wasn’t just the queen’s retinue.

{This demon will fight with us!}

“what?”

When people are confused because they don’t know what the words mean.

Over there.

A giant trying to advance towards this side.

-Surrender, natives. If you surrender, we will give you… … .

The giant suddenly.

-The honor of being able to be brothers… … Keuuuk!

He let out a scream of pain from his soul.

People looked at him in confusion.

“That’s… … .”

And then.

I couldn’t help but be astonished.

-What is this beast… …!

That makes sense.

What’s there is… … .

“I saw it then.”

“That’s the white lion!”

Towards those mighty looking giants.

Because it was a sight of monsters from the Demon Realm rushing towards us.
