I’m Not That Kind of Talent Chapter 310

310. I will commit a greater sin than anyone else (8)

I will take away the Knights of Lofty.

Since the end is approaching, it’s okay to joke around like this. During this time, I was unusually quiet, trying to take care of the other person’s mind.

The Demon King looked at the members of the Lofty Knights, pretending to be a kind person and bending his eyes to hide the strange expression in his eyes.

“…What do you mean by that?”

Despite the devil’s remarks and attitude that created anxiety, the members of the Lofty Knights maintained their composure.

“Could you please explain in more detail?”

“The captain is a warrior, so there won’t be much danger…”

Apart from his eyes shaking with worry, his faith is strong.

The Demon King, whose eyes shone through narrowed eyes at their rather resolute attitude, soon shrugged his shoulders.

“Surely you didn’t know? “Deon is under a curse.”

“…yes?”

“I guess you didn’t know.”

“What do you mean… you started doing it and now it’s a curse? “A warrior and a curse… Our captain is not a character from a fairy tale.”

“If I give you a kiss, the curse will be lifted.”

“Who wants to do it?”

Even though I was embarrassed for a moment, the story quickly went somewhere else.

While the Demon King, who could not keep up with the flow of conversation, kept his mouth shut in embarrassment, Cleter, who had been quietly listening, frowned.

Of all the knights, he is the most normal.

“…Isn’t it normal to look for the captain’s bride in times like this?”

There was a bit of a deviation, as if to prove that it was ‘at least’ normal.

“It won’t take time to find a bride. “It would be better for someone to sacrifice their life.”

“sacrifice?”

“Because the one who kissed will definitely die at the hands of the captain and the others.”

Not to mention the leader, the rest of the knights will be punished as a thief without a conscience and a pervert who has no answers. Of course, there is no chance of surviving in the hands of the captain.

“In the first place, if you have the face of a leader, isn’t it a task to find a bride?”

“Are you sure… Even if you are a traitor to humanity or something, you would forgive me and move on just by looking at your face?”

“Should I put my captain’s face on display to save the bride?…”

“…It’s not that curse.”

It can’t be a curse that can be easily broken like the curses in fairy tales.

The Demon King, who barely regained his senses, hurriedly returned the flow of conversation. Without giving them a chance to speak, he spoke straight away.

“It’s a curse where you hallucinate blood rising from under your feet. Not only the visual part, but also the sense of touch and smell are perfectly implemented, so if it fills up to the end, you will probably die without being able to breathe.”

“….”

The expressions of those who felt the seriousness of the situation hardened.

Why are these ordeals being piled on a child who is having a difficult time? After a heavy silence, someone asked as if chewing.

“…why.”

“I don’t know either. But I know that the level rises every time you kill someone.”

In fact, guilt is the medium.

The Demon King spoke naturally.

“So Deon will try to refrain from killing anyone. “Heroes can’t help it, but in the case of the Primiro Knights, they probably try not to kill even if it means risking some injury to themselves, right?”

Because I can’t hallucinate and die before returning to the ‘Devil King’.

“So, you will waste a lot of your nerves while dealing with the Primiro Knights, and that mental fatigue will also affect the battle with the heroes that follows.”

“…How can you believe that?”

“If you want, you can swear by your status as the Demon King.”

It doesn’t matter if you throw away a position that will become useless anyway. In the first place, there wasn’t much of a lie involved.

The faces of the Lofty Knights, who had no way of knowing what the devil was up to, were distorted.

“…What on earth do you think we are?”

A miserable voice came out.

Who are you to worry about when you’re still young?

Cleter runs somewhere. The voices of those who remained were low, filled with deep emotion.

“You probably didn’t go far, right?”

“I don’t know. “It may have already arrived since it moved using magic.”

“Fuck.”

“Watch your mouth in front of kids… Oh, nothing.”

“If I chase after you now…”

No matter how much I ride, it is impossible to catch up with the magic. There is a high possibility that the battle will already be over when we arrive.

However, they were worried that it might already be too late, and as if it was a waste of time to hesitate, they immediately ran to the stable without even thinking about it. As if belatedly becoming aware of the Demon Lord, a voice was heard from far away.

“Let me borrow your word!”

The Demon King chuckled.

An answer that could not be reached came out in a small voice.

“okay.”

I should tell the users in advance so they don’t get embarrassed. Oh, and to the guys guarding the castle gate.

I picked up the communication seat. Even though I was manipulating it, I couldn’t hold back the joy, and in the end, a mocking self-talk came out.

“If I had just waited, Deon would come back alive and limbs intact, but that’s foolish.”

***

Humans riding demonic horses were running through the plains.

“Even the weather sucks. “They said it was a drought, but why is it raining?”

“So… By the way, Cleter, where have you been?”

“To find the herbs the captain left behind.”

“Oh right. “There was that.”

“So have you decided on a route to take?”

“I will definitely take the shortest route. Can you see the map here? “This is where the captain fights, so we just have to go in a straight line like this from where we are.”

“…there’s a river in the middle?”

“I should just cross. “Oh, I see it right there.”

“…It rained and blew….”

“Aren’t you going to go to Hwangcheon Road while crossing that?”

“I don’t know, fuck. “If you succeed in crossing, you will see the captain. If you fail, you will reunite with your deceased grandmother.”

“I wonder if the horse can withstand it….”

“It’s a horse from the demon world, so it should be able to withstand this much. Isn’t that right?”

Purr! Purung! Pap-duk!

“Did you hear? “They say so.”

“…I heard the sound of teeth grinding…?”

“Then you want to go back far? “Our captain might be in danger?”

“Fuck yeah. “Let’s go.”

“If your horse gets swept away by the current, just move on to another horse. know? “You’ve done it a few times when you fell from a horse.”

“It’s my first time doing it in the water… but why not give it a try?”

“Then let’s go and don’t die like a fool.”

***

The main force of the Demon King’s army arrived at a place where only the advance team had arrived.

It was the beginning of a full-scale war.

Even though the Demon King’s army was right in front of them, knocking on the door of the castle where they were staying, the monarchs of each country did not evacuate. Because there was nowhere else to retreat from here.

This is where the troops are most concentrated. It was clear that even if he went to another castle, he would be breached in an instant and his head would be taken.

And above all….

“How dare I hide when my younger brother goes to the battlefield and fights himself?”

The emperor of the empire, Elpidius, muttered bitterly as he washed his face.

The heavily sunken golden eye just stares down blankly, and then catches a person standing on one side. Lindel Reiner, the older brother who lost his younger brother at the hands of Deonhardt, was standing calmly holding documents.

“…Aren’t you going to participate in the war yourself?”

“Originally, I was far from fighting. “It’s not something I can dare to participate in.”

Not only was he not good at fighting, but Deon Hart said he wouldn’t look at him twice. If we meet again this time, I will definitely die. Since the look in his eyes was telling him that it was not an empty statement, it would be better not to take it as a lie and do something foolish.

Lindel, who had heard all the reasons why his brother had to die at that time and had no reason to risk his life and step into that mess, lowered his eyes and said,

“Shouldn’t the living live?”

“…is it.”

I don’t think I could ever do that.

A faint smile appeared on Elpidius’s lips.

“You are a strong person.”

“…Thank you for saying that.”

“So…”

The atmosphere became too heavy. As if to change the subject, his golden eye touched the document in Lindell’s hand.

“There’s no way the amount of frozen food is written there, and is it related to the Battle of the Fortress?”

“yes. Regarding financial issues such as food, the Prime Minister…”

“If it is what His Majesty said, it is here.”

The Prime Minister, who was sitting at a desk on one side and quietly processing documents as if he were not there, handed out a short report as if he had been waiting.

Elpidius, who received it, scanned the contents and let out a heavy sigh. A confused expression appeared on his face.

“…Rweche has no shame.”

It looks like they’re throwing away all the food they gave them.

It wasn’t the season for snow, but it suddenly started snowing and the temperature plummeted. It was a disaster for the empire, which had filled the warehouse with a lot of food but had to put it out for a while due to lack of space.

Grain that was hit by snow held water and froze. Some of the livestock, which were originally small in number, froze to death or became destitute.

The prime minister glanced at the young emperor’s expression and added as if comforting him.

“It’s not at the upper limit yet…”

“It will go bad soon.”

It won’t hurt you if you eat it, but it will taste bad and will rot in a short while.

It would be a waste to just throw it away, so I think we should use these up as quickly as possible…

“…I guess I should cook the food that has been eaten first before it rots and becomes unusable.”

“Are you planning on feeding the soldiers?”

“Are you crazy?”

What does this country feed to those fighting to protect the future of the human world?

“Those who go out and fight should be fed with proper food, and only those who sit back and hide should eat this kind of food.”

“…the nobles will rebel.”

“It’s not bad, and even the emperor will eat it, so why not protest against it? Or is it because you don’t want to eat, Prime Minister?”

The chancellor, who was looking at Elpidius without an expression, smiled softly.

“Is that possible? “That’s great judgment.”

Elpidius paused for a moment at the unexpected smile of the person he had been clashing with ever since he became emperor.

For a moment, he pretended not to be and turned his head to look at Lindell.

“Then let’s move on. Report to Lord Lindell.”

The noble young man, who glanced back and forth between the prime minister and the emperor, nodded and opened his mouth.

“We blocked the first attack of the Demon King’s army with an ambush in front of the castle gate.”

“ambush?”

“Your eyes have a negative effect on food storage, but they are a good help in strategy.”

“Oh, that.”

The falling snow obscured those who moved under the cover of night and neatly covered the traces of the ambush, so the Demon King’s army rushed in without knowing anything and was greatly defeated.

“After that, we focused on the fortress battle and provided flaming logs or arrows to those climbing ladders, and rocks from siege towers using catapults. However, as it was getting closer to winter and we needed to save firewood, we replaced the ladders with rocks instead of logs. . “I just use the arrows as is.”

“To begin with, there aren’t many stones in this castle…?”

“I worked hard to save up, so I will hold on for a while. There was an attempt to dig a tunnel, but it was easier that way. All you have to do is find the right location and pour boiling oil into it.”

If you don’t have oil, you can boil water and pour it in.

“That’s why we are intentionally trying to appear weak in dealing with tunnels. In the process, I think we will inevitably have to let a few enemies into the castle. Do you mind?”

“So that the enemy can focus their attacks on the tunnels?”

“yes.”

“Do whatever you want. However, be prepared in case the enemy is stronger or more numerous than expected.”

“We plan to dig deep into the ground along the castle wall, about 3 meters inward from the inner wall of the castle. That way, even if the enemy comes in, we will be able to gain the upper hand and attack.”

The enemy will be isolated by hostility and there will be no way to do anything.

After all, the princess didn’t bring him as a staff member for nothing. Elpidius nodded willingly.
