Chapter 436 – Road to Death

Chapter 436: The Road to Death

“Are you asking me to sell out my general?
And the most courageous general?”

A question that is absurd.
But Camus was not shaken.

‘If I hadn’t thought about it, I wouldn’t have come out here.’

Penetrate the core

“Do you consider me an ally?
Really?”

“Joy.
A different world…”

“When I went to assassinate Catherine, I heard the exact opposite offer from Alberic.”

“!!!”

Just as the testimony the Marquis had heard from the royal knight.

“The contents are as written in the letter.
He made the first offer.
I will bring you to the fore, so kill me.”

“…”

“Aren’t you curious about the reason?
I didn’t write it in the letter, so you wouldn’t know.
He said he didn’t like it when you overtook him and acted like a grand duke.”

“I can’t believe it.”

“Then don’t believe me.
He wanted his lover back as much as his exploits.
That’s why I returned the former Queen Grace.”

Marquis at a loss for words.
Camu mixes the truth with lies.
The queen went voluntarily, but was not the subject of a deal with Alberic.
But that’s not the point.

“Alberic wanted to set the ball up again.
And got Grace back in return for watching our retreat.
Now we will attack again and again to get the biggest ball.”

“I guess so.
Because the completion of the Holy War is achieved with the collapse of the Demon Castle.”

“Exactly.
And that will be Alberic’s charge.
Just like how he turned the tide of battle alone in the Hydas River battle.”

“…”

“You became a power-obsessed commander who sacrificed his allies to become tentacle monsters after being defeated by tactics.”

“…”

Marquis John, who kept his mouth shut, clenched his molars.
He knew this
I thought it would be like this.
In the end, he said he would overwrite it all.

“And Alberic became a hero who summoned a weapon from the other world and saved an ally who was about to die.
He became a true hero with Amity’s Guardian Dragon.
By the way, the first flag to be planted in the mawang castle?
So what do you think will happen?”

Still, a marquis is a marquis.

“If I didn’t want that, why would I have Alberic spearheaded?
The success of Alberic will be the success of the Crusade.”

Skillfully accepted.

‘Because he’s like the marquis.
I was sent to lose Alberic’s raiding party in the night raid.’

Okay.
Talking as if you clearly know the other person’s psychology is a method used only when intimidating or dominating.
Persuasion becomes poison.
Pretending not to know, I let it go.

“Then, will the success of the Crusaders be your success?”

“What do you want to say?”

“Alberic is my enemy.
Killed my parents, sent my brother back to the Black Sun.
Now you have killed my friend and put my master to sleep.”

Quietly, Kamyu’s eyes burned.
Revenge fire.

“Give him to me.
Is it good for me to have revenge, and not good for you to deal with your rivals?”

“You mean to lead the strongest general to death in battle?”

“When the hunt is over, the hound is used to boil soup.
Even if he dies, won’t you have dragons, 200,000 troops, and Amitie’s generals like Gira Castle?
A pack of wolves following one leader is stronger than wolves growling at each other.”

“…”

Behind the Marquis, the escort warrior and the nun with an eyepatch hardened their faces like a rock, and the moon knight standing next to me.
Everyone’s heart is pounding.
But all elite agents.
No blurring

Camus nailed it.

“Ah, by the way, Alberic can no longer summon otherworldly weapons.
For the time being.”

“… Is it really?”

“Exactly.”

‘If it’s true, it’s like drinking almost all of Alberic’s honeydew.
The rest is about the Angelic Alliance.’

You don’t have to be blind to one artifact.
Among the enemies, no one had as strong a belief in the sun as Alberic, so it wouldn’t matter if he passed.

‘The moon knight uses the magic of the moon as a worship of the moon goddess passed down in the Valentine family, and the sun saint does not have swordsmanship skills.
Devot is more of an atheist.’

However, there is one stumbling block.

“Alberic is no fool.
You can’t go out recklessly.”

He is sensitive and suspicious.
He went out on a night raid and was surprised by Van Dark disguised as Kamyu and returned straight away.

“Without otherworldly weapons, he wouldn’t come forward confidently.
When the time is right, then I will come out.”

“Don’t worry about that.
I will make you come forward.”

“How?”

“Leave it.
I am the one who does it.”

“…”

“How are you?”

“Not a bad suggestion.
I will carefully consider it.”

Hold.
This requires an immediate answer.
A lukewarm response to a decision-making task is usually the rhetoric of refusal.

But Kamyu was sure.

‘I can’t accept it.
I’ll make it that way.’

“I look forward to the good news.”

***

The way back.

Jerk, jerk.

“… Angie.”

“Yes.”

“Aren’t you curious why I did that?”

“Yes.”

“Why?”

“The shield does not judge.”

“… Isn’t it against chivalry to have an affair with the enemy?”

“How can I delay guessing your master’s deep intentions?
I was just worried.”

“Worry?
What did you mean?”

“I was afraid that I would betray the cause or lose myself, caught up in my desire to win.”

“What if I betray the cause?”

“I am just waiting.”

“What if I lose myself?”

“Even if I chase you to the end of hell, I will bring you back.”

Jerk, jerk.
Tumble, Tumble.

“Let’s do this with what only you and I know.”

“I will serve you, lord.”

***

Alberic’s barracks.

“Grace, my Grace.”

“Alberic…”

Missy, who is well-seasoned, surpasses the clumsy young lady.
Grace rubbed his well-maintained body over her dress, enjoying being teased in Alberic’s arms.

“This place is dangerous, so it is better to go to the castle in advance…”

“There’s Catherine.
You won’t leave me alone.”

“Yes…”

‘Catherine, that damn thing will set her nails and wait.’

Kwok-.

Alberic hugged hard.

Grace smiles happily in his firm arms.
Even though she was more than ten years older, Alberic was most comfortable holding her.

‘Catherine, Nubacane, Philip, John…
There’s no one to trust
The only place I can rest is here.’

Trying to enjoy her like that, her out of sight of her.

“Who are you?”

“Warrior.
I went as you commanded.”

“Oh, did you succeed?”

Rustle.

Alberic wakes up.
Grace hides under the covers.

Nodded

Alberic stood up with two pockets.
He dressed roughly and walked away.

Flutter.

A demon spy standing at the entrance of the tent.
He was the one who delivered her abortion pills to her maid.

“You worked hard.”

“Yes.
Oh, and he asked me to tell you this.”

“Huh?
Who? What?”

To Alberic, who handed over the bag of gold, the demon spy smiled and said,

“The gift was well received.
This is my answer.”

“What?”

Jjiik-.

A spy who naturally tears the magic spell book he took out of his pocket.

“No way… !”

Aaaaa!

Udang-tang-!

“Kheuheuk… !”

Wearing the Angelic Alliance out of habit was a godsend.
Because the transparent shield is always active.

Tak-tak-tak!

“Gwa, are you okay, hero?!”

“Cool, cool!
Okay.
I’m just a little surprised…”

Rurrrr!

“Oh, no!
This… !
Grace, Grace!!”

What Alberic saw after running into the burning tent.

“Graceuuuuu!!!!!
Aaaaa!!!
Grace!!!
No no!!
Aaaaa!!!

It was Grace, who had already passed away.

***

Kwak-! Kwak-!

“After delaying the attack for a day, it’s fireworks tonight.
What the hell is going on…”

“Ludvik will like it when he sees it.
I would like to think of a business after being discharged from the military.”

“He will want to stick around for a long time.
If it’s by the general’s side.”

Jacques is standing on the wall with me and watching.

“It is a wonderful firework.
The fuel is blood and food.”

Rurrrr!

“Boo, turn off the lights!”

“The military depot is on fire!”

“Ice breath to the white dragon…”

“No!
The whole food is flying!
Bring water from the river!”

“With what?!”

“Bucket! Bucket!
Damn it, go to the stable and get me a manger!
Splash it with water!”

A man holding an incongruously expensive magic spell book stood among those who did the fire extinguishing work.
Hazy eyes.
Lost focus.
I raised my two hands.

“Long live the Demon King!”

Kwaaaaang-!

Firefighting personnel were suddenly swept away.

“Ouch…”

“Cheuk… What is this…”

What could happen?
Those whom Kamyu hypnotized spies and contacted.
He was secretly summoned to the junction, hypnotized in reverse, given a self-destruct order, and sent to the military warehouse and winter goods warehouse to self-destruct.
A fire explosion caused by life force and magic.
Those who don’t self-destruct will scatter to their respective locations, draw a map of Catherine’s army, or dig up inside information.

Kwak-!

Roaring—!

“You ride well.”

“No way… Is this what the general did?”

Zach’s eyes filled with astonishment.

“No.
I do not know.
It’s just that the enemy is happy to ride.
Isn’t it?”

“Ah, yes.”

“Stop talking nonsense, Zach.
Now I have nothing to offer but decapitation to those who spread false rumors.”

“… I’ll keep that in mind, General.”

Zach bowed his head politely.

Grace must be dead.
By now, Alberic’s eyes must have turned upside down.

“The offensive will begin tomorrow.
It will be a difficult fight, so prepare well.”

“Yes.”

The vanguard is Alberic.
It’s a set thing

Shouldn’t you feel the sadness of losing someone you love?

I just feel sorry for Stella and Anne…

No, in a way, it’s rather necessary.
It’s better to disappear like a mother-in-law who sticks with enemies, assassinates the king, and only causes bad influence.

“I’m sorry.”

***

Ridge-!
Ridge-!

“The enemy is advancing!”

“We are assembling a siege tower in front of the Demon King!”

“The dragons have scattered to the north, south, east and west, and have started air patrol!”

“The enemy advances with a flag!”

As expected.

“Did you display the corpses of the treacherous demon maids and attendants well?”

“Yes.
As an example, he hanged himself in every central area of ​​the settlement.”

“Good job.
Come on, here are the crazy religionists and prayer wrappers!
Get ready to shoot!!!!”

“Prepare all batteries for shelling!
The target is a siege tower!”

Ran diligently led the army in the south.

“Leave the filling alone.”

“It looks like they prepared sandbags to fill the moat.”

“Okay.
The average depth of the southern moat is about 5.23 m, and 217 additional traps have been set just near the gates.”

“…”

Stefan, the vice-commander of the county army, is full of spirits.
No pervert measures the depth of the moat surrounding the castle with a wooden stick.
No commander ever counts and remembers the number of traps.
In that respect, Ran can be said to be the strongest pervert in the Demon King’s army.
Not surprising.
Because his superior is a detail-crazy person instead of a woman.

“The enemy is coming uphill!”

Mawangseong is located on a subtle slope.
Even the south side, which is the most passable access road, is the same.

“It’s finally starting.”

Feeling nervous, Zach kept wiping the sweat from his hands onto his pants.

I was lost in my thoughts for a while.

Van Dark and Desdymona.
What was the relationship?
Why did Van Dark have her picture?
Although he was a man of color, he wasn’t a guy who wasn’t interested in women at all when he was young.

“Can I have sex with a skeleton… ?”

“Yes… ?
General?
No way… Do you have any hobbies?”

The expression of seeing something truly terrible.

“No no no no no no!!
Not that I am!”

“Beauty is embraced enough to be hugged, so now I am trying to expand into a different hobby…”

“… That’s not it, you bastard!
Not me!”

“Then who?”

Giggle

“… It’s nothing, Zach.
Let’s focus.”

Could it be that he secretly admired her and became frustrated, so he turned her direction to her sodomy?
… I don’t know.
What happened between the two would only be known by the Black Sun.

“Start the bombardment!”

“Odd batteries, fire!”

“Fire one cannon!
Sampo fire!
Five guns fired!”

Let’s forget
Now, even the things facing us are overwhelming.

Big wal la la rock!!

“Enemy dragon approaching!
The target is a fixed catapult!”

Flutter, Flutter!

“Light Blinger, sortie!”

“All armed with lances and crossbows!”

Interception.

See-Yung-! See-Yung-! Mr. Yoo-woong!

Enemy catapult that crosses the sky like a comet.
A fixed battery of the allies fires from behind the fortress wall, and a dragon attacks the battery, and Karamit and the Royal Griffon riders charge at the dragon again.

Kwak! Kwaaang-!

“Something like the Demon Castle is old and old!
Catapult loading!
Launch!”

Oh oh oh… Tuhwaaak!

Kukkoom! Bang!

Catherine-kun made one mistake, but the three-layered walls of the Devil’s Castle were built with different materials.
Sometimes with stone walls, sometimes with earth, sometimes with ancient concrete.
And the recently patched and repaired exterior walls are built with bricks.
Because.

Kwak-kwang-!

Unlike stone walls, they do not collapse.
Only that part is drilled.
The bricks kneaded with reinforcing agent were strong, and the magic bricks stuck in the middle of the wall made the material of the wall stronger by using strengthening spells.

***

“I knocked on it for three days, but the demon castle does not budge.”

“Also!
I will take the lead and climb over the wall!!”

“Hero!
It’s not possible!
Didn’t I tell you for three days!
Don’t get excited!”

“Shut up, lieutenant!!
We must avenge Grace!
Hey, bring me the ladder!”

“Hero nieeeee!!
Catch everyone! Dry it!”

After drying and drying, the exhausted adjutant complained.

“Please Alberic!
At least use the siege tower!
Please wait three more days and climb the siege tower!
Then I won’t stop you!”

Kukkoom! Quaang! Bang! Kwak!

Even after pouring shells and magic, the triple wall remained strong.
After completing the tunnel and digging it, he was killed by the water pouring from the moat.
Or the enemy knows the location of the tunnel and collapses it to death.
While charging through the castle gate, he was burned to death by a Molotov cocktail containing flammable material.
Put the rope on the pulley over the truck and drop the tied rock to break it.
While returning fire, he was shot and killed in a bullet that was pierced downward.

Another three days passed like that.

“I will ride the siege tower.”

“Hero!
Stand on the siege tower in the back row!
The lead is likely to become a catapult and a magic target!”

“Noisy!
I will slit their heads right away and avenge Grace!”

Then the lieutenant prostrated himself on the ground and cut his head.

“The more you do, the more Marquis John will go as he wants!
The first to reach the Devil Castle will inevitably die!
The deeper you go, the more isolated you are!
How can you trust Marquis John?!
He has soldiers too, let them go first!”

“Aide.
Sorry.
I am not ignorant of your hard work, but since I have lost even the only reason for my life, how can I stay still?”

Clap.

Alberic wears the Angelic Alliance on his waist and even wears the goddess’s knight armor.

“Get out of the way.
Didn’t I wait for 6 days as you wanted?”

“Are you sure you have to be at the forefront?”

“Aren’t you already trying to climb the wall without me?”

“If you are willing to do so, please bear with me for three more days.
After that, you may slit my throat.
Just be patient with me for three more days.”

The adjutant didn’t want to put Alberic in the lead any longer.
When the siege is ripe, and the gates are breached.
All you have to do is hold a flag in the middle of enemy lines and break through.
So I wanted to buy time.
However.

“What are you talking about?
Wintering equipment and clothing have already been burned, and some of the food storage has been lost.
You can’t face the winter with a siege.
While it is still autumn, the decision must be made.”

Chin.

Alberic rests on the shoulder of the kneeling lieutenant.

“Watch.
What do I do with my guys
I will decapitate the iron mask and offer it to Grace’s soul!”

“Ah, hero… !
No, no, no!!”

Leaving behind the lieutenant who was prostrate on the floor and wailing.

Thump, thump!

7th day of siege.
Alberic sortied out.
