Chapter 159 (1/2)
Chapter 159 Very First Ti’s trust The Cassiubia League didn’t trust the hu their hopes on Chi-Woo But this was just the start; Chi-Woo thought they could use this chance to build a proper relationshi+p with the ood note First of all, the way they treated the rescue teah the monsters still held them under strict surveillance, they provided the humans with food and drinks and a place to rest that wasn’t a prison Furthermore, they also offered treat the roots of several ancient trees that wrapped around the injured heroes when someone called out to him
“The fact that they are prisoners of war doesn’t change” The half-dely “Including you You, and of course, your companions will not take a step out of this place before you meet our expectations”
Chi-Woo are of this He had run off his s he could do, so he needed to follow thes you blabbered on about” After giving Chi-Woo a fir, Murumuru turned away Since it was already late, they decided to talk about the details tos to discuss, so neither of the tanted to waste ti
“Let ”
But as Chi-Woo alking away, Murumuru posed him a question
“Why…didn’t you tell us your na to not have heard Murumuru
The next day, Chi-Woo was su to discuss their current situation and strategy for dealing with a great demon
“We identified that the commander is Vepar” Zel, a representative of the Cobalos, said while lifting its glasses
Vepar was a great deions She didn’t have an official title, but others often called her the ruler of the sea As her nickna, and she was basically omnipotent in the ocean
“There’s no ocean near the city, not even a lake We are very fortunate in that aspect, but…” Zel didn’t finish; still, one could easily tell that the situation was bad and would only get worse It was because Vepar, the coue’s opposing force, was planning to turn this whole area into an ocean so that she could exercise greater power
“It’s a safe bet that the area they occupy is now in her hands Thus, half of the battlefield is Vepar’s territory”
Chi-Woo recalled the time they had approached the Demon Empire’s side of the battlefield as the rescue team The forest had been filled with darkness then; and just like the time he was in a dreary and very humid cave, he felt da at it, and the great displeasure he had felt was still fresh in his mind It was fortunate that they had avoided the area thanks to Nangnang’s advice Who kneould have happened to them if they had entered?
“Vepar is very cautious, a bit unusual for a dereater value on winning Thus, even if it’ll take a bit of ti the board to be completely in her favor We are aware of this too, but…” Zel trailed off It wasn’t like the Cassiubia League hadn’t been doing anything until now, but every tireat casualties and were forced to retreat
Apart from the fact that their ene serious difficulties fighting in hostile territory Slowly, by playing it safe, the De their territory bit by bit The situation obviously drove the Cassiubia League crazy, and it seeion would fall under Vepar’s rule sooner or later
“So, if any of you have suggestions, please…!” Zel’s eyes looked pleading as it asked Its expectant eyes were pressuring, and Chi-Woo couldn’t adreat demon was almost nonexistent after all
But he did have a secret card: a deht next to him
—Hm Vepar If her rank is in the 40s…she’s also known as Separ or Vephar
Fortunately, it seemed like there was no one here who could see spirits Thus, Chi-Woo opened histo the opposing side It will be crazy for us to fight in enemy territory”
“Do you take us for idiots? Of course we know that,” Muru we should do now?”
—What do you think we should do? We have to drag thelanced at Philip to confirm what he had just said, but the spirit was preoccupied with pointing and cursing at Mururowled, ‘I have been restraining myself since yesterday, but this half-de Does it want to die?’
“Muru to be so aggressive”
It see intently off to Muru offended
“Why…!” Murumuru seemed to think the whole situation was unfair, but pursed its lips and stopped itself when itthem out,” Chi-Woo then said
“Is there a way to lure Vepar?” the centaur, Magor, asked Chi-Woo pretended to be in thought and glanced up at Philip But all Philip did was shrug
‘Ah, daht
—What can you do in this situation? Were it me, I wouldn’t have let the situation reach this state
Chi-Woo didn’t pay attention to what Philip said and really fell into thought this ti out Vepar…a way…
‘…I can’t think of anything Nothing at all’ Even the Cassiubia League, ereHow could he come up with a solution iain more information and buy some time with a likely excuse
“You said it yesterday…” Chi-Woo turned to Zel, ashis peers, “That you think inside information had been leaked to the Demon Empire”
“Ah, yes!” Zel quickly nodded “It’s just my hunch because of how unfortunate the situation turned out”
“Then, do you perhaps have a guess about what the Deoal?”
“Don’t you think there’sto stop the Alliance?”
Zel fell into deep thought at Chi-Woo’s words
After a while, he spoke up again “…This is really just my personal opinion, but…” Zel said in a serious voice, “I did think that…the De to replicate what the Sernitas had done”
“What they have done?”
“You knoeaponizing a God”
Chi-Woo flinched
“Or they could be trying to use the God the hu about the hypothetical, but they were highly possible The huue wouldn’t be the only ones desperate to secure Gods It was probably the same for the others
