Chapter 21 – Finding the Truth

Chapter 21 Finding the Truth

Eventually, it was around mid-sky when the sun came out of the barracks.

Chareuk.
Paddak!

The moment I opened the barracks door and came out, the demon soldiers attached to my tent scattered like cockroaches in the basement had seen people.

These children.
Have you all been listening to the noise coming from the tent?
Embarrassingly.

“Hey, hey, Kamyu!
Now, the sun is in the middle of the day, what should I do if I wake up now!”

“Don’t gasp, calm down and talk to me, Van Dark.
You overslept too, so you came running.”

“… Isn’t that?!”

“No what.
Earlier, Blucher said that the corps commander was not showing up, so he did a rough inspection for you in the morning.”

“… Yaa, the weather is nice, haha!”

Assuming that I’m busy injecting magic formulas while having sex and engraving my seal (I’m not busy at all), this Van Dark guy seems to be late purely to get a taste of the human soldiers he captured yesterday.

“How did the boss taste yesterday?”

“Oh, my ass is so tight! Hehe.”

Ah…
A moment of silence for the bandit boss.
Even diapers should be given as gifts later.
Van Dark turns his narrow eyes into crescent moons and gives off a wonderful smile.

By the way, just by looking at his face, he’s a handsome man…
How did the demons become so crooked?

There are rumors that his father was from a military family, so he took him to the battlefield and became greedy for sodomy.
There are rumors that he became like this because he was on a ship for a long time to become a navy and couldn’t see a woman.
Rumors abound.

Even if I ask him, he laughs it off and tells me different reasons every time, so I have no idea what the real reason is.

However, I had only heard at first glance that Van Dark had confessed to a woman only once before.

“Hey, it sounds like it’s too much for you to hear on the way.
The kids stuck to your tent and didn’t notice the time passing?
Our judges are imprinting their mark.
You said you completely melted that bitch with big breasts?”

Rumble.
The demon soldiers around us surround us with notice.
I don’t seem to notice at all, but I pretend to see.

“Wow, you hardly ever let me go since morning!
It’s not a game of energy!”

“Ahem!
Do you know why there are so few hypnotists?
It’s because you can’t do it because you’re sucked up if you can’t support it.”

“”Oh oh! Camu! Camu!
Please share the energy pills!”

“What are you talking about, I’m a natural.
I know someone as a drug addict.”

“Ay…”

“Take care of the garlic, onions and leeks.”

“Oh, not like that!”

“It’s just like a magic potion!”

“Ugh, I get it, I get it.
I’ll give you a present later.”

“Compassionate Kamyu, long live!!”

“Praise him!!”

After a raucous meeting, Van Dark reviewed his men and divided the work groups.
Some go to the battlefield yesterday to do maintenance, and some clear the barracks and bandit camps.

Van Dark and I go to the battlefield together and inspect and direct the arranging of items.

Pick a wagon that is in good shape and acquire it, and burn the rest.
I unload the items from my wagon and organize the items that the demon soldiers need.
I’m going to reduce my burden and give it to you.

“Leave the traces of Hellfire alone, Kamyu.
I’m going to make it look like it was attacked by bandits in a flashy way.”

“What about magic dye?”

“… That’s the problem.
Demon Queen, you ran amok with splendor.”

“Our Demon Queen, who walks around with traces of her special moves like this, is doing a very good job.
He says ‘prepare’ and gives hints.”

“The Demon Soldiers attacked the humans just hotly.
Then I wrote a wide-area spell that I didn’t know what it was.
Well, how about decorating it with a story like this?”

“Van Dark, but the problem starts now.
The High Priestess, Philip, who asked you to organize it.
Surely you have to believe that you’ve killed all the paladins, big breasted bitches, and bandits, so you don’t pay the balance?”

“Yes.
I only received half of the down payment.”

“Then, the key is how late the saintess and I get noticed by the high priest.
If they get caught early, they’ll send another assassination team to make sure you kill them, let alone the balance.”

“Yes.
So, Camu.
Take some of those captive genital love bandits with you.”

“Huh? Is it really okay?”

“To be sinister.
You were thinking of asking me anyway, right?
How can you evade the chase with two women and plot things?
Well, it doesn’t cost a fortune, and I already have enough prisoners.
Take it from the line where you can’t afford to report your achievements.”

“Hey, thank you so much! Brother!”

“It’s me, kkeuk.
Only at times like this?”

“Thank you always.
I’ve had a hard time with my hands from working alone for several years.
Oh, I feel a little better now.
You know our master’s motto, right? That…”

“”I am Legion.””

The motive shouting Master’s slogan with me smiles.

“My master also often recruited troops in the field.
Aren’t you the ‘one man unit’ Nene Boulanger?
Oh, by the way, would you like to say hello to Master?
Even these days, Kamyu talks a lot about you.”

“It’s still a bit awkward…”

“Hey, an apology should be made at the right time.
Don’t you know that the sooner you praise, apologize, and thank you, the better?”

“Okay, I get it. I know, after.
Things like Lumica these days, and things like family…
I’ll organize a little more and go and see you in person.”

“… Yes, do it.”

“Do you visit often?”

“I was in command of an army on the front line even when the Demon King died, so I see you occasionally.
Recently, I heard from Master that I was accepting this request.
Oh, this is confidential, but it was Master, not me, who communicated with High Priest Philip.”

“… What?
Is there a line between Master and the cathedral?”

“Shh. Who will listen.”

“Okay, so why didn’t Master use the Boulange family’s enlisted men and recruited the 3rd Corps?”

“If the Demon King isn’t here right now, what’s the point of organizing the corps?
Right now, with the Four Heavenly Kings at the center, each commanding an army, they are in fact running into warlords.
Our 3rd Corps is also under Master’s command.
Not General Caltz.”

With the death of the demon king and the disappearance of the commander-in-chief, it seems that each corps has begun to become enlisted.
It seems that the number of nobles ignoring the orders of the general is also increasing.

“Master, Gabyung is also busy escorting Master.
… Everyone keeps quiet, but there were only 3 assassination attempts…”

Demons advantage. Strong when united.
Demons Disadvantages. Don’t stick together

If it doesn’t divide, it won’t be a war that will last this long…

Van Dark and I eventually erased only some traces of the magic dye,
‘I couldn’t confirm the body because it was all melted with wide-area magic.’
I decided to tell the high priest Philip.

Way back to the tent.
Van Dark walks with his hands behind his back and says.

“Oh, and General Caltz also asked me to say hello to you when I see you.”

“What is that blunt thing about?”

“They asked me to tell you that the position of intelligence officer was vacant.”

“Oh, of course not.
I was also a corps commander.
First, what is an intelligence chief?”

“If I give you the position of chief of staff, will you go?”

“No.
I am Master’s line, and you are here too.
I’m not going to the Carlz side.”

“I knew it, giggling.
You are not the kind of person who would leave Master and go somewhere else~
Don’t even joke about going to the other side.
It’s ugly these days.”

Talking about this and that, we almost arrived at the campsite.

Van Dark took me to where the prisoners were and told me to select a dozen people to take.
I plan to take the rest to the 3rd Corps garrison by myself.

“Are you really going to take me like this?”

“Yes, the fighting power is good, but you have to bring the members you need for the operation.
Oh, by the way, isn’t that the bandit boss?”

“No.
Important prisoner of war logo.
I can’t because my butt is tight.”

Jjasik, tastes are so consistent.
Van Dark is a spirit-type wizard, but he specializes in distortion and auxiliary magic rather than hypnosis or control, so he can’t use that bandit boss as his subordinate.

It’s a waste.
He has good leadership skills and charisma.

“Instead, my men say they want to follow you.”

“Huh? Who?”

“Jacques and Ludwig.
Even though they’re both centurions now, they asked me to be dispatched with you.
How is it?”

“It’s good that I’m strong!”

This is much better than the bandit boss.
They’ve never matched their hands and feet, they’re very reliable friends, and above all, they’re people you can trust even if you keep them by your side without hypnosis.

From now on, full-scale infiltration and maneuvering is required.
The Cathedral, the Human Noble Knights, and the Royal Family in Amity.

In preparation for emergency situations where close contact with each other is not possible, manpower capable of self-determination is desperately needed.

Now, hypnotizing and introducing a mission-type command system will not work in an instant.

I already have commanding experience as a centurion.
On-site judgment, personal force, crisis response, etc.
It’s good to have a centurion-level manpower that doesn’t fall anywhere!

“Hey, I heard that the chief centurion moon guys are leaving this time just because you’re following me.
Jeop, instead, are you sure that Hero Alberic is mine?”

“Is it only Alberic?
Write down a list of the people you want to do in the Cathedral or the Noble Knights and give them to me.
If it is possible to secure it in the middle, I will secure it and send it to you!”

“Ohh, love of comrades and love of country!!!”

I assemble the prisoners I have chosen to take to camp, ring bells, burn incense, and chant incantations.

The prisoners looked at them blankly, not knowing what they were doing, and the allied demon foot soldiers looked at them with curious eyes.

In fact, the captives were also fed cookies full of hypnotics as their last meal.
There were some people who cursed at my face, but it became quiet when Blucher blew a front kick right away.

Blucher guy, even with the senior battalion commander, he still leads the way.

“Good.
Deep mind control is over.
Everyone, stand up!”

Chuck!

Prisoners stand up quickly even with their arms tied.
The eyes are still out of focus.

“Forward, go!”

Cheeky!

“Turn around!”

Chuck!

“Write your name with your butt!”

Straight up!

“Dog leg dance!”

Cheeky!

Clap clap clap Hui~

Van Dark whistles in admiration.

“Hey, that’s spectacular.”

“Yes, at this level you can enter the tiger’s den.”

Now I take the captives who have been mentally controlled and brainwashed to my tent, and Van Dark follows.

“? What’s going on?”

“Ah, I want to talk to a bitch with big breasts.
I won’t be able to see you if we break up.”

“Okay? Okay. But what do you want to talk about?”

“… The situation on the day the king died.”

“Ah…”

I stand in front of the tent with Van Dark.

“I am Kamuda.
Bring a colleague along.”

After waiting for a while, we went in, and two clean ladies greeted us.

“Nice to see you.
I am the commander of the 3rd Corps of the Demon King’s Army, the anti-dark grid.”

The two ladies were surprised by the courteous greeting and compliant appearance.

Rebekah makes a fuss.

“Oh my gosh, there is such a handsome man in the demon lord’s army…
… You are a family of characters… ?”

Haha, that’s overrated.”

As the narrow-eyed handsome man grinned, Sister Rebekah looked half-bewitched.

“… This is Marianne.”

The saintess of the sun nods in greeting.

“This is our first time talking, big breasted bitch.
Damn, how much I really miss you.
I missed you more than my mother.
If it wasn’t for Kamyu, I would have torn him limb from limb.”

Flinch.

Both Rebekah, who had been immaturely welcoming, and Marianne, who was greeting him, shrank at his out of the blue.

Van Dark’s charisma that opens his narrow eyes and exudes sharp eyes and life.
Overwhelmed, the two girls shook their hands and feet.

“… With the 3rd Corps, you would be on the other side of the battlefield.”

“Yes, I had a hard time because you treated the soldiers.
Huh, well, let’s talk about the past here.”

Van Dark returns to his narrow-eyed personality after dying.
I’m just glad it ended at this point.
I thought about what would happen if I hit or drew a knife.

“Sit down.
I have something to ask you.
Hey Camus.
Are you going to answer all my questions?”

“Right, that’s for sure.
Rebekah, Marianne.
Answer this person’s question without any lies.”

“Yes…”

“I heard that it was a special entrustment for the demon king assassination operation. Please tell us about the details and circumstances of the operation.”

Van Dark and I sat across from Marianne and Rebekah and took out paper and pens.
It’s important, so let’s organize it and listen.

Marianne’s calm story began, and she said right after the star princess secured her sight and teleported collectively from the border to the Demon King’s Castle.

“Wait, did you check the Devil Tower with the ‘ninety-nine eye’ magic?”

“Yes. The star princess said so.”

“Apart from the Princess of the Stars and the Demon Castle, how do you know the coordinates of the Devil Tower among the many towers?”

“I don’t know that either.”

“… Just keep talking.”

As soon as the special task force members rushed into the demon king tower in the demon castle and encountered the demon king, the story continued that the special task force members’ special move unexpectedly hit the demon king.

Marianne was afraid that Van Dark and I would get angry, but she calmly moved on.

“So there was no one besides the three demons who were interviewing the demon king, so I closed the door and closed the barrier…”

“Wait a minute!
What are you talking about?!”

“Weren’t there any soldiers with colorful armor in black and red with a bull on their chest?”

“… No, there wasn’t.”

“Before the visit? There must have been at least two people standing there?”

“No, not even at the door.
According to the ‘Knight of the Moon’ who stopped the enemies from coming up from the lower floors to disturb them, there was no one on the lower floors either.
So she said she went further down and blocked it in a narrow alley.
There were only a few soldiers who came up, so they said it was fortunate that the job was strangely easy.”

“”… !””

Van Dark and I looked at each other’s faces.

“No, wait.
How many soldiers are there in the Demon King’s castle, and less than a handful of troops came to help?”

“… In the first place, there were no soldiers at the door, and the lower floors were completely empty?
Like…”

As if someone put the troops away to do something.

Panic came to Van Dark and me.

“Wait a minute, we attacked the top of the Demon King’s Tower, what else did the black dragon do?”

“A dragon?
I didn’t see any dragons.
There was nothing in the air until we evacuated.”

Marianne’s calm testimony left Van Dark and I speechless.

“No, this is…”

“Then, the demon king fought alone, right?”

“Yes… Mr. Kamu’s family who was by his side… Stop at the crash storm of the early special move…
It seemed that they were people with no fighting ability in the first place…
The other demons did not see it, and from then on, it was a one-on-one fight with the demon king.”

I was so absurd that I decided to hear the fate of my family later, and continued asking questions.

“The Demon King fought alone until he withdrew?”

“Yes. I stayed on the top floor, so from what I saw.
Other than those encountered by the Moon Knight two floors below, there was no other intervention.”

“Van Dark, this is…”

“We have enemies within us.
Someone said that they cleaned everything from the Demon King’s Sukwigun to the Black Dragon on the day of the operation.”

“At that time, the chief of staff… Isn’t it?
That friend isn’t that kind of guy…”

“No…
Come to think of it, yes I remember.
Ran went on a business trip that day.
Borrowed something from me
He said he was on a business trip and couldn’t pack his things, so he asked me to borrow it!”

“Who is it?
The person who made the Mawangseong commander-in-chief suddenly go on a business trip…”

“I need to find out.
But I do know who commanded the housekeeper while Ran was away.”

“Vice commander?
I don’t know because I was in the human capital at that time.
Who was it Ballack?”

“No… It’s Michelle.
That feeling, Rumika’s suitor.”

Van Dark’s eyes shine.

“This… We may have to go deeper than we thought.”
