Nibbleheim Market House.

There was another violent debate at the hearing not long ago. If Valpurgis Vaughn was a social gathering, now the Demon Kings have gathered in haste to discuss the events unfolding in the human world.

Unlike Valpurgis Night, which has 32 attendees, there are sixty Demon Kings in it. Virtually all the Demon Lord was involved.

“We must burn the Franks! With no cover for children or women. ”

“Get out! Get out of here if you're going to talk like that!" ”

“Get out! And listen to the nonsense of the Pyramids." ”

“Pluck out the intestines of every living human being on the ground! ”

The convention chairman of the palace was noisy. Dozens of people were talking at once. I couldn't tell who was talking, so the conference room itself seemed like a big opening to me. That big hole is restless, mumbling in a voice that no one understands.

I whispered to Barbato.

“I can't see the end. ”

“Hm. A meeting the Demon Kings take seriously is more like it. ”

Barbato replies with an angry face. It wasn't angry with me, it was postponing my face. She participated here as a harvester of the Pyramids, and had to show off her magnificence. The Plains have lost one of their own Demon Kings. I needed to appeal to the fact that I was very angry with it.

I took a quick look around the conference room. The meeting room was divided into four categories: On the left side of the building is the majority of the Demon King. The mountain waves. Pymon looks forward to something deeply thoughtful.

The right-hand side of the building was occupied by our plains. The Phantom Demon Kings stand long on either side, centered on Barbato. At the entrance, there were ten Neutral Demon Kings gathered. Marvas, fifth in line, was in charge of the host at the last hearing.

Last stop, opposite the entrance, ladies and gentlemen. Five Demon Kings sat down. They were all silent with a blunt or dull look. No one had access to it, but they were the five most powerful kings in the room.

Sequence # 2 agares.

Sequence number three.

Sequence # 4 gamigin.

Sequence # 6 Balefor.

Sequence # 7 Amon.

After the meeting started, none of them opened their mouths. But I can feel it. All the shouting and screaming are looking at the six kings. The Six Monarchs released an intangible sense of pressure despite their silence. I also gained weight. It was a terrifying aura.

I whispered to Barbato.

“Hey, why are they sitting there mimicking a mute? ”

“Baal didn't come. ”

Baal pointed to the Demon King in the first place.

“No matter how much I talk to you now, Baal comes here, you'll never see him again. Say you don't like what you're asserting, motherfucker. You look like shit. ”

“You want me to stand by this market stall until Baal arrives? Terrible.”

“Hmmm. Yeah, that's terrible. I'm gonna need you to organize. ”

Barbato rises to his feet. The Demon Kings of the Plains have kept their mouths shut. Barbatos screams at an incredible amount that comes from his small body.

“Enough!”

Her voice echoes in the conference room. At once, the commotion subsides. The disputing Demon Kings glanced at her in unison. Barbatos glances. The Demon Kings quietly turn their heads as they make eye contact with her.

Barbato spoke in a majestic voice, unlike usual.

“Crosel above sequence 49 is dead. Furcas, in the top 50, also lost Marathon. The tribe of Demihumans, who used to befriend her in the human world, simply abandoned us. ”

She shakes her right hand. A large, transparent map appeared in the air. On the map were human continents, and 72 castles each. Scissors were crossed between the two labels' Crosell 'and' Purcas'.

“According to the latest intel, the Habsburg Empire has begun marching north. Who has more information about this? ”

“My informant in the Habsburg Islands says, ”

A Demon King belonging to the Neutral Party protested.

“They say the Imperium has left for Valencia. It is located in the 68th place of the Belial or the 61st place of the sequence. We must prepare for the invasion of Northern Habsburg! ”

“No way! ”

The Demon King of the Mountain Clan shouts.

“The Habsburg Empire has not moved. Our Demon Prince has full control of the empire. Humans aren't invading, they're refusing the Demihumans! We must take this opportunity to save our allies. At this very moment, the fairy tribe and the Dwarf tribe meet the envoys of the human race! To form an alliance of the Demon King across the entire continent. We may lose control of the human race again. ”

“Bullshit!”

This time, a Demon King responded in the Plains.

“Fairies and Dwarves never break neutrality! They know too well the power of our Demon Kings. I'm sure humans are forming an alliance with each other. The Habsburg Empire is not the only country with an army! Twelve countries, all armed. They're trying to gather an army at the entrance to the Black Desert. ”

Kuang, and the conference room rang. Barbato hit his feet and caused a weak earthquake. When the eyes became focused, she said.

“Gather information first. We can't even have a discussion if we know each other differently. Pymon.”

“…… You called a girl? ”

Pymon, the leader of the mountain tribe, replies. She gives a dazzling glance at what Barbatos calls her. Barbatos and Pymon were famous for their enemies. Barbatos also hated talking to Pymon so much, but he was acting out by my desperate request.

“Our plains have obtained information that twelve human nations have mobilized an army. I have a pretty good idea where each army is headed. How are things in the mountains?”

“ ……. ”

Pymon clutches his arm in his chin. You're trying to figure out how to fight back. I already knew that she had the same information as the plains. It was because of age, not just the person who instructed her to leak information. Barbatos appointed me as his chief of staff, and the plains, under my plan, acted erratically.

Pymon sighs.

“Yes, she saw that the armies of the twelve nations had moved. ”

“You know exactly where the troops are headed. ”

“…… I won't deny it. ”

Barbato shakes his hand. Then the lines were drawn in bold on the map in the air. A total of twelve straight lines represented an army of human beings. Lines started in the cities of each country and headed somewhere. Along the way, Crosell and Purcas' Demon Castle were already destroyed.

Finally, the straight lines converge into one place.

“North of the continent. It's home to the vast majority of Marathon Castle. ”

“ ……. ”

Pymon doesn't answer. Everyone here knew that it meant positivity. There was a commotion in the conference room. The Demon Kings quake. Their shouts flood.

“Is that true, Pymon?! ”

“It's not just an invasion! The Humans are uniting! ”

“You scumbags! You dare try to take our territory! ”

I laughed in my heart.

For the past five months, I've been trying desperately to control the march of the human race. By blackmailing Ivar, you moved to Kunkuska. In the Kunkuska Chamber of Commerce, he approached the top brass in the human system using quite a lot of bribes and succeeded in disseminating information.

The result was an overlap of the paths of the twelve armies.

Human nations wanted Mahjong, moderately weak and as looted as possible, as a sacrificial amount to calm their complaints. I gave them the information they wanted at the Kunkusa Parliament. He didn't give me any false information. I just had to choose the castles that matched their requirements. Humans may not even know that their paths overlap.

But what about the position of the Invaded Demon Kings?

Twelve armies march in one direction. I couldn't have thought it was just a coincidence. Perhaps the human race is preparing for a massive invasion. In fact, two of the castles already on the route have been taken down. One of them even died in battle. The invasion of the Humanity is unusual, and it feels that way enough....

“Help! My castle is in peril!" ”

The Demon King with the mustache screams. I whispered it to Barbatos, and he told me it was Velial, 68th in the order. He had a deep history with me and many others. The reason Belial was in such a commotion was simple, because his Castle was located on the path of the Habsburg Imperial Army.

The Habsburg Empire has 2,000 men. Belial, who was only 68th in sequence, was not an affordable force. Belial must be feeling like he lost an axe at the back of his foot.

“Help me! Everyone! ”

“ ……. ”

“Our cause cannot be broken by the humans! We are predators and humans should never be eaten by prey or hunters…… everyone, please! ”

The Demon Kings seem to have turned their backs on Belial. It was welcome to have fewer competitors in the future unless a fire strikes you right now. Probably thought so. Belial's face brightens.

He approaches Pymon in a helpless gait. Belial bends his knee and reaches out to Pymon, hoping to lean on her, the leader of the same mountain tribe.

“Pymon. Please, save me. If you could send an army of a thousand, no, 500 men! I will never forget the grace of this Belial. ”

Pymon was silent. It was wise. If Pymon says he's going to send a legion here, the mountain tribes will plead actively to intervene in the war. The risk was too great for the mountain rangers who opposed the war on Humankind.

She said quietly.

“Just hold still. ”

“Mr. Pymon! ”

Belial looks startled. Pymon has just abandoned a Belial for the whole mountain tribe. As the leader of the faction, I don't know if this is a rational choice, but it will only bring down oppression for the abandoned Belial.

Now.

I looked at Barbato. She notices my gaze and nods. Her voice echoes in the conference room.

“Belial. I, Barbatos, will help you. ”

“Oh, really!? ”

The Demon Kings open their eyes wide. It's a well-known fact that the plain and the mountain tribes are against each other. Barbato, the leader of the plain, decided to save a member of the mountain tribe himself. Pymon frowns and stares at Barbato.

Barbatos, by the way, spoke to me as discussed.

“We are your people. Even if they are usually hostile, they are living under the one and only rule of conquest. How can the Humans be tied to the usual bounty and turn their backs on our cause? I, Barbato, will call upon 500 knights of death at once! ”

“Oh, oh...! Thank you! Thank you! ”

Belial is impressed. Five hundred death knights alone could overwhelm two thousand Imperial soldiers. Belial bows to Barbatos, thanking him several times. Pymon looks at the scene and chews the shit.

I could barely bear to laugh.

You were too careful, Pymon.

This led the Demon Kings to question Pymon's leadership. Pymon lets his own kind perish. Barbatos is willing to give up his army, even if he is on the other side. Which one of you is more reliable? In the first round, the Flatlands scored.

It was a car that proceeded step by step according to the drawing that Barbato and I drew.

“Book, number one! ”

The gatekeeper shouted at the entrance of the meeting room. The gatekeeper is frightened.

“The First Monarch and Grand Duke! Lord of the Sixty-Six Legions, Lord of all swords! Deliver the king of Baal! ”

The massive gate of the meeting room stirs up dust.

The Demon Kings hasten to the entrance, lowering their waist. Barbato and Pymon were no exceptions. Even the top six Demon Monarchs sitting on their seats had extreme examples. The true owner of the Magic Cube was on his way.
