26 – To the battlefield of Maslantia (2)

-I want you to annihilate the humans there.

“What if I refuse?”

Maslantia.

It is a land located at the western end of the southwest, and is the representative base of the resistance called ‘Sacred Covenant’ that resists the demons.

Although they are a separate group that has nothing to do with the forces of the warriors, they were as strong as the warriors in their determination not to lose to the demons.

It’s because you’re a bit of an idiot.

‘They shouldn’t disappear.’

Even if the influence is not great, they suppress the power of the demons even a little while the hero is recovering.

From my point of view, it’s not enough to keep them alive, but to annihilate them.

-This is the first order I give you, are you going to refuse it? I’m sorry

The overlord replied in a playful tone.

However, I am well aware of the hidden meaning of that word.

‘You’re disobeying my orders? Give it a try. What will happen?”

Ariel usually allows a free atmosphere, but disobeying orders is not tolerated.

This was also the reason why the normally harsh monarchs listened to the overlord.

‘I can’t help it….’

This is the first order Ariel gave me after becoming a monarch.

She has no reason to refuse, and here she goes against her heart if she continues to refuse.

Then he’ll show off a more difficult command.

For example, to make the land of the barren demon world fertile. It’s like cutting off the arms of people all over the world.

“Okay.”

Tsk clicked her tongue and looked at the overlord with a helpless expression.

Her crow opens her mouth in satisfaction.

-Okay 7 Lords, I’ll be looking forward to it.

“I will leave right away tomorrow.”

-You don’t have to be in such a hurry, well~ I’d appreciate it if you did. Now that I’ve told you everything, shall I go?

A crow lifts one of her wings to greet her, then flies out of her window.

“Damn it.”

The sky was exceptionally blue today.

**

“Stop! Stop! If you move, I will kill you!”

Over the course of two days, I arrived in front of the Maslantia Garrison.

Upon entering the entrance, one of the demons shouted loudly.

‘Is it like a password? They do everything.’

Holding the horse’s reins, I looked at it with interest.

“Knife!”

“I don’t know.”

“If you do not know the password, you cannot enter!”

“I am the 7th monarch. Come on, open the door.”

“Either the 7 lords or the overlords can’t enter!”

“… What?”

What kind of madman is this?

At that time, the face of one of the demons became contemplative, and I hit the back of the head violently.

“Hey you crazy bastard—! Are you crazy?!”

Then, he urgently looks at me and opens his mouth.

“Sorry-! Lord. This guy is still a rookie… Come on in! The commander is waiting for you.”

“Cut that bastard vacation.”

“Oh, I see!”

‘The unit is a total mess.’

Showing an uncomfortable expression, I slowly entered the entrance.

**

“Nice to meet you. My name is Sirius, and I am in command of the battlefield. It is truly an honor for the Seven Lords to come all this way in person.”

The demon in the black uniform bowed down.

Like that or not, I looked inside the command and control room carefully.

It is quite simple, like the middle ages.

A map on the table and circles scattered everywhere.

Probably, that place must have been a strategic point.

“By any chance, what do you not like?”

The commander’s pupils tremble slightly.

I raised my hand roughly and opened my mouth.

“All right. Brief the current situation.”

“Yes, honestly things are not looking good. Based on the point A shown here, we have been fighting closely since a week ago, but we are currently struggling because we are falling behind in numbers and quality. Perhaps, in a few days, Base A may be captured. However, one good thing is that geographically, we are located in a hilly area where we have an advantage, so we can turn the situation around.”

For demons, power is their order, so there are relatively weak demons in these remote areas.

Perhaps that’s why, the demons were pushed back by the Maslantian humans.

‘I could have wiped it out with just a few kids from the monarch’s castle.’

This is also the reason why the resistance forces are struggling to occupy Maslantia.

Beginning is half the battle, starting with what seems the easiest.

In fact, even in the game, we gradually expanded our power starting from Maslantia.

“So, what are your plans?”

When he said it nonchalantly, Sirius swallowed his saliva and continued his words.

“It’s embarrassing, but I was thinking of defending at point C. You can lead a war of attrition using hills and terrain features.”

‘As expected, he’s a commander, so his brain works pretty well.’

That was a wise answer.

Looking at the map on the table, the bases are 3 points ‘A, B, C’ except for the places marked with an X.

First of all, as he said, Point A is now in danger of being captured, and it was obvious that it would be taken by humans sooner or later.

Then, the remaining bases are B and C.

B is a place that can never be penetrated without capturing C due to geographical characteristics.

But, is it easy to break through C? Not even that.

C is on a steep hill, so it was a place that fit the conditions of a strategic point.

In other words, from the point of view of the demons, if you lock the door to point C and defend it, the resistance force’s forces will continue to be consumed.

It was said that as time passed, the charter became more advantageous.

Tsk, clicked his tongue.

Then it was clear that the demons would win this war.

‘I can’t do that.’

The Resistance must win this war.

“Is that really the best?”

“… Yes?”

“I asked if it would be best to lock the door against the flying flies.”

So, I plan to obstruct the demons very persistently.

Let them lose horribly in this war.

Let the resistance guys win this war and expand their power!

‘Get rid of all Maslantian humans?’

Sorry, mission failed.

I’ve already thought of a good excuse to tell Ariel.

The demons are defeated in this war.

“Yes… No matter how I think about it, this is the best in my head.”

“Commander. You guys are still far away. Here, we have to forcefully break through, not defend.”

“Yes?”

Sirius looked at me as if he meant something.

Then, as if realizing something, he cautiously opened his mouth.

“Ah, no way the monarch… Are you stepping out?”

“Sirius. Do you want to die?”

“I’m sorry.”

“I have no intention of just catching flying insects.”

“… I know.”

He must have known before I came.

That a nobleman the size of a monarch would not be involved in their uncivilized war games.

It deserved it.

When the monarch swings his sword once, everyone dies on their own.

War? War game?

All that was bullsh*t in the face of overwhelming force.

From Sirius’ point of view, I would be seen as a monster on the same level as them.

So, you might think you’re looking at this war board similarly to a board game.

All monarchs are nobles like that.

“… If the 7 Lords are not stepping out, I think we should focus more on defense. There is no need to break through and annihilate all troops.”

It was unacceptable.

It’s a game to win if you stay still, but you have to move and lose.

What kind of madman would just follow?

“Just do it.”

But what?

“… ….”

“Answer.”

“Yes….”

I nodded with a satisfied expression.

**

“… Sirius, are you really okay? Anyway, this just sounds like dying.”

Squad leader Asmodai opened his mouth as if he was worried.

“Watch your mouth. Asmodai. If you don’t believe in the 7th Lord, who are you going to trust?”

That’s what he said, but Sirius also had doubts in a corner of his heart.

Is this really true?

“The entire force is forced to break through. Go ahead!”

However, whether it is correct or not is not important.

They had to follow orders.

The monarch’s orders are absolute.

You shouldn’t have any doubts.

“Forward—!”

– Jeobuck. That buck!

Thousands of troops move forward in unison, as if they were united.

Sirius swallowed his saliva as he watched.

**

I got up with a leisurely stretch.

I slept very well for the first time in a long time.

‘They must have all been wiped out?’

I got up and came out of the tent.

Even the cool wind and the gentle sunlight.

It’s a really pleasant day.

“Guy, Lord—!”

Commander Sirius rushes in.

Probably, they are coming to deliver the sad news that they have been annihilated.

I said, raising the collar.

“What happened? Did you even annihilate it?”

“It was as the monarch said!”

“What do you mean?”

“You are amazing! We pushed through as ordered and pushed them out of Point A!”

It felt like my heart was sinking.

What bullsh*t is that?

“It’s all thanks to the monarch! This first victory boosted the morale of the soldiers! Thank you!”

‘Oh… It shouldn’t be like this.’

I was sent to annihilate them.

I heard you won.

What should I do?
