Chapter 349 – Episode 349 – Beware of the New Four Heavenly Kings!
Woost.
It was a castle in the south of the Kingdom of Harb, located in quite rugged terrain. I arrived here safely through space magic. Since I had already been back and forth between Kafka Castle and here a few times, there was no need to receive an unnecessarily harsh greeting even if I showed up. When Ray, Princess Eddie, and Eline arrived, Charlotte, who was there first, waved her hand.
"I'm here."
"Huh."
"But why is Eline shaking like that?"
Eline, who worked hard to get here, felt a little awkward walking. When Charlotte pointed that out, I patted Eline's head.
"Good job, Eline. You have a hard time every time you use a long-distance movement spell."
"Lol. What is the hardship? If you think about what I did earlier, this is no big deal."
No matter how much I got used to it, I couldn't help but stumble right after it. Princess Eddy, who came with us, glared at us with a shocked expression.
"But is it okay to do that before the war?"
"Is that something like that?"
"Just now… That's it."
"What. Like what. Magic?"
Perhaps because there were people next to her, the princess had a hard time getting those words out because she was trying to keep her composure.
"Just now… The two of us were sweating… What are you talking about?"
Although he was frustrated, he looked at my face and realized that he was doing it on purpose. Charlotte, who had been listening from the side, was slightly surprised that she realized what we were talking about. I poked Princess Eddie Lan's side with her finger.
"Hit?"
"Are you interested?"
"What? What? Let's go!"
Even if it wasn't her breasts or genitals, he could freely touch the princess's body, and there was no restraint on that. I guess that's why I don't feel any discomfort because I'm such a guy. Instead, I hit Charlotte next to me hard.
"Okay, let's go!"
Match!!!!
"Clothes♥"
Charlotte stumbled, letting out a brief moan of her own. She's a warrior, so she wouldn't fall to this level, but the slap I just gave her wasn't just a matter of force. Her entire body would tremble with each blow, even her pussy would tremble. Princess Eddy, who was walking ahead in a hurry, is making a bewildered expression as if this is the 10th time today. The feeling is, 'Can we entrust the future of this world to these people?'
. . .
Sex is sex too.
War is now just around the corner. I entered the military conference room of Oost Castle. Although there were fewer people than at the Kafka Castle meeting, there were quite a number of important people here as well. In addition to the two heroes, the saint, the princess of this kingdom, and the archmage, there were the elf Freña and the mercenary king Kelly, who had been here a few days ago and were preparing for battle. I stood in front of them and unfolded a more detailed map of the terrain around Ust Castle.
"It has finally arrived to this day."
Everyone nods at what I say. Everyone has a very serious expression. Although they felt less tense than regular soldiers, their responsibility was enormous.
"Tomorrow at the earliest. At the latest, in two or three days."
The devil is still advancing this way. And their feet will soon stop. This is in front of Ust Castle.
"Now, I will receive the final inspection report. Frenya."
"Our elf guardians have deployed a mobile unit, a small detachment, and the remaining personnel to defend on the castle walls."
Most elves are agile. In addition, they are excellent at bows and magic, so from a 'defense' perspective, they would be one of the most outstanding races. In the first place, elves are a race that plays defense rather than offense, so there is no need to doubt their abilities. Of course, the base is a castle, not a forest.
"Kelly. I heard quite a few mercenaries came until recently."
"That's right! Especially my Red Dragon mercenaries, now that I see them, they are quite loyal."
Kelly flaunted her long red-black ponytail as she stood up and crossed her arms proudly, showing off her breasts. She may be loyal to Kelly, as she said, but in fact, she had prepared a large separate fee for the request. Perhaps because it was the amount of money she would receive for completing dozens of simple requests, more mercenaries came than expected. Those who have fought in various environments will be quite capable in this war when carrying out special operations with a small number of people.
"Count Zeke. You just have to do what you have prepared so far."
"Yes, warrior."
Count Sieg was originally in charge of Ust Castle here. When he first came here, he was surprised to see that he had solidified his defense in his own way, as he had not been able to stop the Demon King. I just gave him a little bit of help and I could see that he was doing well on his own and his ability was outstanding. Only after confirming each person's assigned troops did I get to the main topic.
"There is only one day left. Now that I have nothing more to hide, I will tell you the specific strategy. Before that, let's first listen to the explanation from Tonya, who was originally one of the Four Heavenly Kings of the Demon Race."
"Yes? Four Heavenly Kings?"
Princess Eddy was surprised as it was her first time hearing this. As I clap, Tonya in a maid uniform appears from the darkness.
"Tonya. Explain."
"Yes. First… I will explain to you the power of the Demon King's army. I won't go into detail since it's been a while since I stepped down from the Four Heavenly Kings, but it will be helpful in many ways."
"Water, of course."
Count Zeke answered, looking at the ceiling, unable to properly focus his eyes on the maid's uniform, which showed her cleavage and had a short skirt. This may be difficult for a stubborn person to get used to.
"The Devil. Of course, he has great power himself, but the most frightening thing is the army he commands."
I know that well.
You cannot win a war by simply dealing with the Devil. That is why, even as a warrior, I tried to gather as many forces as possible.
"When the Devil's power of 'domination' unfolds on the battlefield, his soldiers become fearless. They feel no pain. They will never back down until they destroy the enemy."
I feel like it would be a bit insufficient to say it this way, so I should give a supplementary explanation.
"To put it simply, each demon soldier is strong. And they all run amok like war-mad maniacs. Besides, the Demon King knows how to properly wage war."
"You're right. 'Dominance' literally means submission. Just like playing pieces on a chessboard, the Devil's army will wage war in an incredibly systematic way."
"In other words, normal wars between humans are almost like playing house compared to this war."
Suddenly, a war before the return comes to mind. I remember the castle that was guarded by more than 10 times the number of demon troops, relying solely on the number of people, and collapsed in just one week. At that time, the general who was good at running away was with the troops he had taken to protect him, so he barely survived.
"So. Under all circumstances, you should never engage in close combat. Ordinary soldiers won't be able to fight properly. Only experienced mercenaries, knights who have specialized in combat, or guardians sent by the elves can use swords."
"If the hero is that careful…"
Princess Eddy realized that no matter how much I played around, I was being very serious this time. I listened deeply because I knew that I was not the type of person to say empty words.
"That's why I focused my efforts this time on magic barriers, defensive weapons, and wizards and archers."
Although regular soldiers were prepared to fight demons directly with swords or spears, the situation was truly at its worst if they fought like that. That's why we prepared so thoroughly.
"But that alone doesn't give you peace of mind. The Demon King is also a Demon King, but this time, three of the four Heavenly Kings were newly born."
Although they had less name value than the Demon King, the Four Heavenly Kings were still the Four Heavenly Kings. But wow, three out of four of them lost to me? That's because I was a warrior.
"First. Succubus Queen. Arel Selinia."
"Succubus… Queen."
Succubus.
When that race comes out, several people spit out the name of that race. A succubus is a very attractive species to men, but it is also considered a drug-like race that men should never indulge in.
"She shows up? Then she tells me straight away."
"Yes?"
She is also Ellis' mother, so she should be taken care of separately.
"And if she is on the verge of being seduced or killed, she acts like this. Hero Daron Dran holds the most precious treasure of the four years."
"Well, is that one enough?"
"I heard that's true?"
"Yes?"
Since this is the method Ellis gave me, there will be a chance for her and me to meet before a major conflict occurs.
"Anyway, next. Shadowmancer set."
"Isn't he the only remaining King of the Four Heavenly Kings?"
"You don't have to be careful with this bitch. Because you'll be scared of me and just hide like a coward."
"Yes?"
I can't say I'm on this side right now, so I just gave a rough answer. You can't say that you're a sexual partner with me and that you're a member of the Demon Lord's army that dreams of reform.
"Next. … Who was it? Tonya, who was that? Demon Sword King?"
"Demon Sword King. This is Rude."
"Oh, that's right. Demon Sword King Lud."
Why did I forget that name? Even before his return, I remember that although he was not one of the Four Heavenly Kings, his swordsmanship was definitely that of a demon worthy of being called one. I've never seen him in person, but I've heard he's pretty strong. And looking at the fact that he filled the vacant position this time, he must have had skills comparable to the Four Heavenly Kings.
"He uses a sword well. Therefore, if possible, do not engage in swordplay with him, and even if you fight, never fight with only a few. The more he is like that, the more he has to be pushed to the side."
"Yes!"
And the last one left.
"Next is the plague witch, Ricky."
I told Tonya what I heard. However, Tonya explains further on this.
"He is also called the plague, and he is also called Ricky the fucking whore."
"Hmm?"
Tonya suddenly becomes aggressive. My eyes also widened.
"It's a trap. Master. You should never mess with that bitch. It will be very dirty. Some of her people call her the witch of venereal disease."
This is my first time hearing this too. If Tonya, a fellow woman, says something like that, what a slut she must be. The atmosphere became strange due to Tonya's sudden remarks. Princess Eddy changes the mood instead.
"Hmm, hmm. Anyway, it's a plague. I'll have to be especially careful with her."
"Yes. Because there is nothing more important than a plague on the battlefield. The people on the temple side will have to work hard here."
"Okay."
Ray also nodded.
"Ruler. Now, let's break down the specifically planned strategy…" It was quite long because it was a meeting near the end, right before the war.
