The NTR Hero Knelt Down to the Demon King

155 – Because there is not just one love

It may not have been intentional, but as a result, a human named Helene has become like scratching Elisha’s painful inside.

In response to this, Elisha thought about throwing away this human being whom he was ‘carrying’ by holding it with both hands, but decided to be patient and endure it for now.

This was not for the same reasons as for political weakness, as Helen thought.

The reason why she showed such mercy to the person who tried to kill her.

that… In Helene’s struggle to obtain an unattainable love, she suddenly sees herself.

It was because he tried to win the hero’s heart, but in the end, he failed miserably, only to see his past overlap.

‘What… There may be a bit of misunderstanding, but this bitch and I are virtually identical to each other… ‘

A hero who already had a relationship with someone and showed no signs of breaking it.

Even though the other person was a so-called low-key demon, through the close look of the two people she happened to see after that, Elisa had no choice but to be convinced that she had no dreams or hopes.

In addition, as a bonus, it happened that way, but she already has a lover named Nyadan.

To be honest, I still had a subtle feeling to see it as affection, but

From Elisa’s point of view, who had no objection to this side, it could be said that the relationship with her had already reached a level that could not be called a simple friendship.

In the end, no matter what, the possibility of Elisa getting married with the hero just became zero.

For Elisha, the image of Helen, who attacked her to marry a warrior dressed as the devil, could not help but remind her of herself who suffered greatly from meaningless struggles in the past.

“after… ”

After finally suppressing the anger that erupted because of Helen,

Elisa said in a calm voice as she looked at the woman in her arms.

“Whatever… Since the demon king already has other women besides me, it would be better to give up on that point cleanly. I tried to do something, but in the end, no matter what I did, there was no answer.”

“!… to… Elisha… Are you saying that too?”

For some reason, at some point, Helene starts using honorifics and asks questions.

However, Elisa didn’t pay much attention to the fact itself and said with a bitter smile on her lips.

“Yeah, honestly, I tried my best, but it didn’t work. What… Thanks to you, I’ve given up completely now. In addition, I am already a body that has an owner.”

“!…. that… yes… did you?”

Elisa’s words gave Helen a sad look…

Perhaps she began to look sad at the fact that she had failed in love.

In response to this, Elisha began to think that the woman in his arms was not inherently a bad person apart from her extreme appearance.

“anyway… Cheer up, love isn’t just one thing. As we are in a similar situation, I will be your friend if you like me.”

“!… Is that true? really… Are you okay though?”

As if those words were quite comforting, Helene removed some of the shadows from her face.

To this, Elisa answered in a bright voice, thinking that she had a human friend with a similar treatment.

“Sure, if you need any help, just tell me. Even if you look like this, you have lived a longer life than you, a human being.”

“ah… ”

Helene’s face slightly blushed at Elisha’s story.

The fact that I had someone to confide my worries to seemed like a great comfort.

About that fact, Elisha began to smile bitterly inwardly.

‘Really… That warrior is making a lot of people difficult. It’s also a mask that people are unnecessarily popular.’

With such thoughts in mind, Elisha arrived near the Macedonian castle.

Without knowing that Helene’s eyes looking at her at this moment were quite intense,

She hurried out and fixed her eyes on the others who greeted her and Helene.

Corpses of witches and soldiers strewn everywhere.

Watching this, York chewed on his deep anger and asked in a cold voice.

“… How much did you suffer?”

“I’m sorry… About half of the Magic Troops were massacred, and many of the soldiers were injured.”

“… I got hit perfectly. I was beaten so thoroughly that there was no room for excuses.”

York frowns as he hears reports of more damage than expected.

But at the same time, she knew perfectly well that nothing would change if she vented her exasperation here and now.

‘First of all, in the current situation, let alone attacking, it is impossible to hold on here. The Imperial Army is also the Imperial Army, but if the Demon King’s army is also moved, we have no chance of winning.’

The moment they changed their formation as their eyes were drawn to the forces of the Demon King’s army, the imperial army launched a surprise attack at the exact timing as if measured with a ruler.

Through this, York was able to speculate that the Demon Kingdom and the Empire had definitely joined hands, and at the same time, the Elven Churches also clung to such a Demon Kingdom and turned away from the hostile line with the Empire.

‘If this happens, there is a risk that our Nation of Darkness will become diplomatically isolated, unlike before. The Imperial Army right in front of me is also a problem, but if I don’t prepare for the next thing, then an irreversible situation will occur.’

It cannot be said that it was her mistake, but the map of power between the continental countries changed overnight.

In response, York felt the need to return to the Nation of Darkness as soon as possible and inform them of this fact, and immediately gave orders to his subordinates.

“Retreat. Everyone is at risk if we stay like this. First of all, do whatever it takes to appease the demon army that is confronting us, and in the meantime, prepare the remaining soldiers to retreat.”

“I understand, General.”

“Accept their demands as much as possible, and if that doesn’t work, let them pass the time. In the meantime, hand over the army to Delphi Castle, which we obtained earlier.”

“Your general.”

“All right.”

As they already know that a battle beyond this is impossible, there is no disagreement among their subordinates.

The envoy sent by York somehow succeeded in negotiating with the Demon Kingdom.

As for the content of the treaty, of course, the Nation of Darkness had no choice but to suffer losses, but the Demon King accepted it anyway.

Immediately after that, the forces of the Nation of Darkness proceeded to retreat as quickly as possible without hesitation.

Immediately after returning to Delphi Castle, the Nation of Darkness officially delivered the declaration of the end of the war to the Empire, and the Falcon Empire accepted it for the time being to appease the complicated internal affairs.

Starting from this, the three countries of the continent started a war aimed at the Falcon Empire.

The war, later called the Great Empire War, came to an end.

Although, as a result, the three countries failed to drive the Empire’s situation to the brink,

Due to this war, the Falcon Empire lost 20% of its territory and was no longer in a position to hold an overwhelming advantage against other countries.

The elven kingdom regained its lost territories and also acquired some of the empire’s territories, rather than gaining land beyond tribal warfare.

Suin-guk also made small gains by occupying the plains they had longed for.

In addition, in the case of the Nation of Darkness, although it suffered a fatal blow in the final battle, as it expanded its borders to Delphi Castle, a strategic point in the north, it prepared a foothold from which it could gain enough power to directly press the Empire.

But,

The ones who actually benefited the most from this war were neither the elven church nor the beast country, nor the dark magic country.

The biggest beneficiary of this war is a country that watched the situation from across the sea with minimal intervention.

It was the Demon Kingdom.

Although the territory was expanded, the internal injuries inflicted on the three countries by this war were greater than imagined.

In the case of the elven kingdom, as a result of forcefully moving the army in a situation where internal affairs were still stumbling, the time to recover from the internal injuries caused by the previous invasion of the empire was further delayed.

In the case of the Nation of Darkness and the Nation of Hands, the situation was at least better, but due to this war, trade and exchanges with the empire that had been made so far were almost completely cut off, causing problems in many ways, including food.

Also, decisively

As a result of showing the state of betrayal and control between each other before and after this war,

These four countries on the continent completely lost the unity and sense of homogeneity that they had shown during the tribal war, and ended up in a position to stab each other with swords.

Cooperation as before was impossible to dream of, and now they are sitting next to them, not comrades made with blood, but ‘enemies’ linked by chains of resentment stained with blood.

On the other hand,

Their divided situation.

From the standpoint of the Demon Kingdom, which was originally hostile to the countries of the continent and suffered severe damage during the tribal war, a war with the allied forces of the four countries in the past, it could be said that it was a trend that could be welcomed with open arms.

At the same time, the ‘unexpected helper’ obtained in the process served as an opportunity for the Demon Kingdom to prepare for the next move.

A decisive move to cause more chaos on the continent than before, so that they can no longer even dream of conquering the Nation of Darkness across the sea…
