Reader - Chapter 222: Separate Unit
“If you take this to the Senior-Class Demon Lipta who manages Outpost A, and to the Senior-Class Demon Allard who manages Outpost B, they will take good care of you.”
Cranosson had already heard from Dehelen and knew that Soo Hyuk and Yeon Jeung would come, and had written a letter in advance.
[Obtained Cranosson’s Letter A.]
[Obtained Cranosson’s Letter B.]
“Then we will be on our way.”
Upon receiving the letter, Soo Hyuk got up from his seat followed by Yeon Jeung.
“Oh that…”
Cranosson got up to go out with Soo Hyuk and said.
“There is one demon among the demons of the Kyrad Faction that you should be careful of.”
He warned them.
“It’s Hertana. She is Kyrad’s daughter. She is currently in Alin. She’s still High-Class, but she’s strong enough to be Ruler-Class.”
“Okay.”
Soo Hyuk nodded his head. Then he came out of the room with Yeon Jeung.
“Where are we going?”
As soon as they came out of the room, Yeon Jeung asked.
Soo Hyuk pulled out the outpost map that he had just received from Cranosson in response to Yeon Jeung’s question. Then he checked the way from Ilom to Outpost A and Outpost B.
“We have to go through the mountains or area B.”
To get to Outpost A, you had to cross a huge mountain range or pass-through Area B.
“Let’s go to B.”
The nearest outpost of the Amiletta Faction is in Area B.
_________
“Sigh”
Garrison Captain Allard sighed, he was looking at his map with a serious expression. It was an enlarged map of the topography of area B.
“We can’t be pushed out of this place anymore.”
The current situation in area B is not very good. If you consider all of area B as 100, 90 is dominated by the Kyrad Faction.
The remaining 10 were scattered all over area B and are on the verge of being lost from the Amiletta Faction. If it goes on like this, area B will be completely taken away.
The problem was that the moment the B area was taken away, area A will be isolated.
In other words, the passage to area A had to be protected somehow.
“If it is Redkros.”
The leader of the Kyrad Faction in Area B was the High-Class Demon Redkros.
“He is going to focus on attacking here, not here.”
Redkros was weak, but a typical staff-style demon who compensated for his weak strength with an excellent brain.
Allard was sure that he would advance in a direction that cut off all their hope.
“What about reinforcements?”
Looking at the map, Allard asked Haragan, the deputy commander and a High-Class Demon.
“It is said that region G is completely eaten now, and region H is isolated.”
“What?”
In response to Haragan’s answer, Allard frowned and asked again.
It was because like this, reinforcements will not come.
It was then.
“Allard-sama!”
Intermediate-Class Demon Orexanamun entered the tent.
“They arrived!”
At Orexanamun’s words, Allard tilted his head.
‘They?’
What is he talking about?
“Ah!”
Then, at a sudden thought, Allard exclaimed and asked.
“Maybe those from Ebratam?”
“Yes!”
Orexanamun nodded.
‘Great!’
Allard smiled broadly.
Those whom Orexanamun spoke of were Soo Hyuk and Yeon Jeung, who had slain Balrogs one after another in the city of Ebratam not long ago.
‘Those who have caught Balrog can turn the current situation around!’
The two of them killed three balrogs.
With the power of the two, not only can they block the attacks of the Kyrad Faction, but they can also completely turn the tide of war.
“Hurry up and bring them in!”
Allard exclaimed.
“Roger!”
Orexanamun replied to Allard’s request and went out of the tent.
And not long after, he entered the tent with two men.
‘It is said that Amiletta gave him her mark.’
Amiletta’s energy was felt from one of the humans entering the tent.
Allard jumped up from his seat and politely bowed his head.
“My name is Allard, who manages the frontier in Area B.”
“Ah yes. Good morning. I am Soo Hyuk.”
“Yeon Jeung.”
Perhaps he is feeling burdened by Allard’s polite greeting, Soo Hyuk responded with an awkward smile, and Yeon Jeung replied with a smile.
“This is a letter from Cranosson.”
Soo Hyuk handed Allard Cranosson’s letter B.
Allard received the letter from Soo Hyuk and started reading it immediately, then he smiled.
“Thank you for helping with the war.”
After reading the letter, Allard expressed his gratitude.
“Of course, we have to help.”
Soo Hyuk thought as he replied to Allard.
‘It’s so different from the image of the demons I know.’
Demons are usually vicious, cruel, battle-loving, and destructive races.
Most of the demons that appeared in the Middle World were like that, and many people thought of them that way.
However, the demons of the Amiletta Faction were very different from the image of the demons that Soo Hyuk knew.
It was then.
“Sir, it is a big deal!”
Soo Hyuk stopped his train of thought and looked back at the voice he heard in his ear.
It was Orexanamun who had gone out after guiding Soo Hyuk and Yeon Jeung, he entered the tent with an urgent voice and expression.
“What happened?”
“The Kyrad guys are coming!”
Allard looked surprised at Orexanamun’s words.
‘So fast?’
They already had a big battle with them an hour before Soo Hyuk & Yeon Jeung came.
Allard, who thought it would be quiet for at least a few hours, narrowed his brow slightly, then told Soo Hyuk and Yeon Jeung.
“Sorry. Can I make a request right away?”
Allard said.
“Sure.”
“This place.”
When Soo Hyuk answered, Allard said, referring to a valley.
“There is a very high chance that their detachment will come through here.”
“A separate unit?”
“Yeah, if an extra wing comes in it will cause great damage.”
Supply routes may be cut off or they may hit their flank.
Even if they do not do anything, that is a problem. Their existence itself is a threat.
“Would you mind going over there and stopping them?”
Allard said.
Then another quest appeared. Because it was a war, there were certainly many quests.
Soo Hyuk checked the quest.
[Protect Laneta Valley!]
Allard was convinced that the Kyrad Faction will send a separate unit.
He presumed that the area the separate unit will attack is ‘Laneta Valley’.
Go to Laneta Valley and stop the Kyrad Faction’s separate unit!
[Kirad Faction’s detachment: 0 / ???]
Quest Reward: Contribution of 200,000 when the detachment comes, and contribution of 30,000 when detachment does not come.
‘They might not come?’
Looking at the quest, Soo Hyuk frowned.
It was because the difference in the rewards that could be obtained if they came and if they did not was too great.
“If they don’t come.”
Soo Hyuk looked at the quest and said to Allard.
What if they do not come?
We can receive contributions, but we will be wasting our time just waiting. It was such a pity for them to waste time like that.
“Can we infiltrate back through the valley?”
Therefore, Soo Hyuk wanted to become a separate unit attacking the Kyrad Faction if they did not appear.
‘If we become a separate unit, we will be able to end the war faster.’
It would have been faster to end the war by moving actively rather than just doing this passively.
“Great! I would really appreciate it!”
Allard exclaimed and thought.
‘Okay’
If they did not come, he wanted to ask them to infiltrate the valley.
However, it was too risky, and he could not say it because of Soo Hyuk and Yeon Jeung’s status, but he was very happy that Soo Hyuk asked for it.
“Then let’s do that.”
[You have accepted the quest ‘Protect Laneta Valley’.]
Like Allard, Soo Hyuk who was satisfied with the
situation proceeded with the quest.
“We will leave right away.”
Soo Hyuk got up and checked the route to ‘Laneta Valley’ once again.
And he came out of the tent with Yeon Jeung.
“Wow, I really feel it. It’s war.”
As soon as they came out of the tent, Yeon Jeung muttered in excitement.
As much as Soo Hyuk likes books. Yeon Jeung loved wars. Besides, it was such a large-scale war.
Yeon Jeung was very fond of great wars. He felt like he was going to be blown away when he was directly involved in a war that he had only encountered in novels, comics or movies.
Soo Hyuk smiled and summoned the ghost wagon as he watched Yeon Jeung smiling. It was time for them to depart for ‘Laneta Valley’.
___________
The outpost of the Kyrad Faction in Area B.
“Hmm.”
Looking at the map, Redkros thought.
“Yeah, that’s fine.”
After finishing his thoughts, Redkros got up from his seat with a satisfied smile. Then he came out of the tent.
Outside the tent, numerous demons were standing in line.
“Are they all here?”
Redkros asked Elami, the deputy commander-in-chief and lieutenant.
“Yes, all 100 people have come.”
“Who is Riinka?”
“That…”
Elami blurred the end of the words.
It was then.
“I’m here!”
The High-Class Demon Riinka appeared.
“Sorry I’m late!”
Riinka stood in front of 100 demons.
“I got the call and came as soon as possible!”
She said to Redkros with a smirk.
“Sorry for the sudden contact.”
“No, but what happened? Seeing the kids gathered like this…”
Riinka looked at the demons standing behind her and asked, blurring the end of her words.
“You are going to command these demons and take over area B completely.”
The reason why Redkros called Riinka and 100 demons.
It was to completely drive out the remaining Amiletta Faction demons in Area B.
“Oh.”
Riinka exclaimed then continued.
“Then what shall we do?”
There must be various reasons for calling them separately. She was looking forward to seeing what the hell was going to happen.
“We plan to flank them.”
To Riinka’s question, Redkros smiled and answered.
“The rear?”
“Yeah, right now we will cause a disturbance. In the meantime, please flank them through Laneta Valley.”
Redkros was planning to infiltrate with a separate unit the Amiletta Faction.
“But in that case, wouldn’t it be better to use other kids instead of me?”
Riinka tilted her head.
“With my physical abilities.”
Most advanced demons train their bodies. However, Riinka is an exception, she invested a lot of time in the mind.
Meanwhile physical ability is very important for the separate unit. It was because they had to move non-stop. In other words, Riinka did not fit into the separate unit.
To be precise, there were a lot of people who fit more.
“No. What I need is Riinka-sama’s magical powers.”
Redkros shook his head.
“To be precise, it is your destructive power.”
The reason Riinka was needed was that they required a tremendous destructive power.
In destructive power nobody cannot keep up with magic.
Moreover, in the case of magic Riinka was already on par with the Ruler-Class Demons.
