Chapter 214 – The Northern Front 3 (2/2)

Anyway, he’d be able to capture all of the lower ranking Demon Kings in one fell swoop.

Everyone nodded at Woohyuk’s explanation.

“Definitely, there’s nothing bad about shortening the time. Also, the problems can’t be solved by simply capturing the 72 Demon King, either.”

“According to the Prophecy, there are still two more great catastrophes left, the work of rebuilding the Ark of Knowledge, and finishing the Epic Quest.”

“The conquest activity is almost finished in the West, but we haven’t even started on the East yet. There will be a lot of troublesome guys there, too.”

In short, they’d have to work together for a long time to achieve their end goals.

Woohyuk sighed and took out a plastic bag with chocolate balls from his pocket.

He tried to refuel his caloric intake, as they just entered a cold area where a blizzard was going through.

Helena’s eyes sparkled as she saw what was in his hands.

“Oh, isn’t that chocolate? It looks delicious.”

“I can’t hear you.”

“… You weren’t planning to eat that all alone, were you?”

“This is a necessary caloric component of a single-person battle meal. Of course, I plan to eat it alone.”

Woohyuk took out a chocolate ball and put it in his mouth as if he was eating medicine.

Then Helena, making an expression as if she was possessed by the devil, made a secret proposal,

“Hey, I’ll tell you a piece of information from the prophetic book, so why don’t you give me some? Or even a secret from a divine family...”

“Don’t sell even your soul for your food, Witch of Annihilation. I’ll tell Boetius,” Ibn Rusud stated as he condemned Helena’s absurd words.

However, Helena didn’t give up as she became enraptured by the thought of sweets.

“What soul will I have sold? If anyone hears, they’ll really think I’m a witch.”

“Why don’t you wipe your mouth dry and the talk. You’re still swayed by sweets like a little child. How are you ever going to find a man to marry you?”

“You’re speaking as if you’ve already met a beautiful wife. Oh, didn’t you say your type is a blonde elf with big breasts? No wonder you decided to come to the Northern Front with us…”

The two siblings lost track of time as they revealed more and more of each other’s weaknesses.

Looking at them argue, Woohyuk felt that there were many problems in divine households.

‘Those two are supposed to be a Saintess and Sage? It’s definitely the end times.’

Suddenly, he was worried about whether Etheria Rodinus was doing well on the restoration of the ancient documents.

Since she was in charge of Helena, she shouldn’t do anything drastic, but a considerable amount of time had passed since they parted ways in the Talis Kingdom.

Listening to Ibn Rusud’s words weren’t enough, so it seemed like a good idea to meet and do an interim check on how progress was proceeding after this Northern Front war.

As Woohyuk was thinking about the Sangreal Chronicles,

Tadak. Tadak.

Several people on horseback appeared in the distance.

“Is it a friend, Lord?”

“I think so. If they’re from the imperial army, they should roughly know our position.”

In fact, the information that the Hero King would lead a support force and join the Northern Front had already been known to the Enoa Kingdom.

It was because this campaign was officially decreed.

So, there was no need for Woohyuk to hide his whereabouts.

All he wanted was a head-to-head match.

“It’s an honor to meet you. My name is Hugo, Leader of the Castle Knights.”

The other person’s identity was unexpected.

He was called the Paladin of Brilliance and had prevented numerous Demon King invasions in his past memory.

However, he was eventually killed by Baal, the Demon King who ranked first in the demon ranks.

The circumstances of his death were due to Emperor Tiberius’ eagerness to protect his own security and not sending out support forces in time.

“Nice to meet you. Where are the other Paladins?”

“Each of them is preparing just south of the enemy groupings in their own territory.”

According to Hugo, the offensive attacks happened two or three times a day, making it difficult for everyone to get out from their designated jurisdiction.

Woohyuk nodded and threw out another question,

“What is going on with Alice and the Demon King Alliance?”

“Alice, Queen of Thorns, has recently moved in and is making a move to expand her influence towards the Principality of Croix. The Demon King Alliance continues to insist on moving southward.”

The reason why Alice the Thorn Queen moved forward was that the Elven race was gentler to deal with than the Empire.

In recent years, an epidemic had spread in the Principality of Croix, and the overall power level of the Elven race had weakened.

Now was the right time to target the Elf Queen’s neck.

‘But the elves are masters of defense.’

Since the Queen was born with the ability to wield pure magic and a high level of archery skill, her castle was not easily taken away, according to his past experience.

In other words, it was not too late to go to the Principality of Croix after defeating the Demon King Alliance.

Hugo nodded as if he agreed with Woohyuk’s words.

“You have the same idea as me. Anyway, I will guide you to the fortress position at the forefront. The soldiers there are eagerly waiting for the Hero King.”

Since the current commander of the front fortress position was Hugo, the Paladin Commander, handing over leadership would be simple.

Woohyuk nodded in agreement.

“Alright. Let’s end this war as soon as possible.”

With the combat force that even ended the first great catastrophe, Woohyuk had no concern about the lowly Demon Kings in the Alliance.
