Never touch Eldmia Egga - Episode 549

[549[Tuesday] Witch of Fire

Siegfried's most common sentiment recently was 'I'm sick of it.'.

Even though he was dissatisfied with the God who threw him into this world, his desire to save and see the world did not disappear or fade away. On the contrary, even when I look back on myself, it is so firm that it is surprising that that feeling continues to this day..

The meal I started eating, knowing that it would be worse than the salty rice served in the Korean military, was delicious enough to make me realize just how serious a problem modern defense industry corruption was. I have now become accustomed to the battle with the Demon King's army that continues day after day. Although it is disappointing in many ways compared to the spring bed, the bed was luxurious enough..

I don't care about trivial things like that. All the problems were due to the demon king's army's biological weapons that suddenly began to appear at some point..

Siegfried, who swung his great sword and struck the neck of the biological weapon, quickly caught his breath and looked around..

Although the battle line was disorganized due to the sudden surprise attack, the shield soldiers were still alive, and the demon king's army and several biological weapons rushing to push away the defense line they had erected were easily visible..

I saw it, so I had to stop it. Saint Tenesi shouted from behind Siegfried as he ran away, adjusting his posture..

"Zeke! Don't go out without protection!"

"There's still time left!"

It was smaller and weaker than the monsters I first encountered when I fought Eldmia on the battlefield. They were far from the cliché of becoming stronger as they got smaller, but that didn't mean they were any less of a threat..

Some spread plagues with their blood, some use mysterious magic while sapping their vitality, and some have no distinguishing features, but their intelligence is just fine, making them difficult..

Since you don't show up after making a promise, you had to start with the lowest-ranking soldiers and clearly figure out how to deal with it. Of course, that's easier said than done. That was also the reason why the front line, which had been pushed so hard that it could be called a rapid advance, became fixed again..

That is still in progress. There are very few people who can minimize the damage to our troops from their persistent interference and pressure..

And, very sadly, Siegfried was one of those few..

"Everyone get out of the way!"

As we move forward, stepping on the floor, which is as hard as concrete compared to the battlefield, which was almost muddy due to the blood shed by both sides over the years, the shield soldiers and troops blocking the way like a strong castle gate split to the left and right, opening the way..

What comes into view are three objects classified as infectious agents. Behind them, the Demon King's army was running like a wave, maintaining a certain distance. It was exactly like using a unit made up of slaves or prisoners as an arrow cannon. This was possible because the infectious agent's blood became toxic only for a moment..

I can't help but be sick of this situation where damage is caused no matter if I kill it quickly or slowly. It's been going on for several weeks already..

The devil is the one who turned them into the shit they are, so why are they taking out their anger on us?.

But regardless, the infectious agent only looks ahead and rushes forward. Even if we cut them into pieces like this, it is obvious that their corpses and blood will cause enormous damage to our allies..

So Siegfried was needed. Because he was a swordsman, a wizard, and a spiritist..

"Sometimes, try running in the opposite direction.!"

Siegfried's great sword, loaded with negative emotions, flew at the infected entity with a clean horizontal cut that was difficult to follow with the eye..

-Quad deuk!

It wasn't the sound that a sword would make when cutting down a creature made of blood and flesh. This also meant that the bodies of infected organisms were different from those of normal organisms. However, Siegfried's greatsword, Nothung, displayed power commensurate with the reputation it had built up so far, cutting three infected creatures in half with a single blow..

"Blow it all up on those bastards!"

[So what... I guess it'll work this time.!]

The wind spirit, who usually grumbled that he had no abilities and only wanted too much, reacted differently this time..

As always, Siegfried was just saying something, but without any time to be surprised, the sight of a strong wind blowing up, sweeping up even the blood on his nose and flying towards the demon king's army running in the distance, even the shield soldiers who were very nervous around Siegfried. It was so surprising that it left my mouth wide open..

The Demon King's army was also unable to react properly to the sudden change, but they should not have done so. The front line of the Demon King's army was instantly thrown into chaos as the blood sprayed and flowed from the corpse of the infected body..

It was a sufficiently successful defense. Siegfried, feeling extreme fatigue as he ran forward without missing the opportunity and looked at his allies clashing with the Demon Lord's army, pinned Nothung to the ground for a moment to catch his breath..

It was good to push in, but the front lines were too spread out. Even though they had support from the empire, the place they were currently stepping on was demon territory. There were so many enemies everywhere..

At first, there were hopeful observations that it might be possible to smite the devil lord like this, but now the only thing that is being said is that the best thing to do is to quickly help the devil's forces retreat and then retreat. Siegfried felt relieved by his command's judgment, even though it was a statement that he would push ahead and give up his other land intact..

The mere addition of those monsters changed the tide. If our allies can reach the Demon King Castle now, it is clear that it is not because of their good abilities, but because of a trap..

"Hero! This is an order to return to command post.!"

While he was thinking about this and recovering his stamina, the person who came to Siegfried's side and found him was an imperial knight who had been selected as his guard. Siegfried, who belatedly realized how far he had fallen from his group in trying to catch the monsters, soon tilted his head and asked a question..

"return? In this situation?"

The battle is not over yet. Strictly speaking, this is just the beginning. Siegfried, who recalled whether he had dozed off during the briefing held this morning, recalled that it was two days ago and asked for an explanation..

"I also did not receive a detailed explanation. However, since the command was ready for the operation, he requested to return quickly.."

It was awkward at first, but Siegfried made his move only after the knight, who had been with him at the front for a long time and could roughly understand what he was thinking just by looking at his face, quickly added an explanation..

"Just look at the cancer and you’ll see this..."

"yes. It smells like a covert operation.."

Although this did not happen in Itisel, there were many cases like this in empire-led operations. Siegfried, who grumbled to himself that it was clear that someone who was overly obsessed with the adage that if you want to deceive the enemy, you must deceive the allies, was holding the baton, headed to his command post in search of Tenesi and Entire..

For a moment, Siegfried was reluctant to leave behind his allies who were still fighting, but when he arrived at the command post, he was slightly surprised to see the passengers who had already arrived..

"Asilier? What are you doing here??"

Since Eldmia embarked on an operation to join the church, Asilier, who had only received requests to support allies from the rear under the unanimous agreement of both the Empire and Itisel, was sitting at the command post holding Laika in her arms..

Siegfried, who rolled his eyes here and there at the unexpected situation, confirmed that Esselua was sitting calmly and chose to shut up and join them..

If Esselua knew and he didn't know, it was because it was less complicated and could be resolved quickly by proceeding that way. Siegfried truly believed this from deep in his heart, so he did not hesitate at all in his actions..

Thanks to this, the commander, who had opened his mouth to briefly explain the situation to him, was quite embarrassed to see Siegfried suddenly regaining his composure and sitting down..

Did you guess the situation before sitting down? Or did he just sit there without knowing anything, feeling like everything would work out because his woman was calm?...?

"...Well, you may have guessed it to some extent, but the reason we brought you here during the battle is to secretly start the next operation.."

Siegfried said he would explain everything on his own, so Siegfried nodded without a word, and the commander, slightly relieved, took a cube of metal out of his pocket and placed it on the table and continued talking..

"Let me explain briefly. Asilier, including the warrior and party members, and the combined reinforcements of the empire and kingdom will be sent to Levien. You must break through the Demon Territory with Marginal Count Levien and his troops.."

The identity of the cube that those sitting at the command post saw once was a simple gate, a symbol of the Empire's magic engineering..

"Isn’t Levien still in a hurry to stop the demons’ offensive??"

"The atmosphere within the Demon Territory has changed drastically, so it is no longer like that.."

As he continued his explanation, the commander removed the items on the map from the table one by one..

"Thanks to the capture of the circumstances that 20,000 of the Church's forces that had escaped from Epagasierra punished Revere, and appeared in front of Raitor without a sound and drove out the demon king's army supporters, the demons near Revien, which were far from the main battle line, were destroyed. I'm torn apart by sobs."

Then, the demon king's army and the troops of the nearby demons, who had gathered tightly around Levien, fell out one by one, and their colors changed, creating a completely different picture..

"This is thanks to the denomination’s move beyond resistance and closer to a counteroffensive.."

The meaning of the Demon King's defense line, which was so thin that it was incomparably thinner than before, was clear..
