68 68. Memorandum of Duo News.txt




 I leave this for my descendants to prepare for the day that will come.
 The people of the demon world cannot open the Evil Gate by themselves.
 It is said that only the people of the earthly realm can open the Evil Gate.
 However, if you perform the 'Demon Summoning Ceremony', you can also summon the people of the Demon Realm.
 This battle began when a nobleman, who lost a political battle in a certain kingdom, summoned the general of the demon world with the Demon Summoning Ceremony to regain his life.
 The general empowered the nobles to fight back and made it easier for them to open the demon world door.
 When the general class came to earth, they couldn't open the Demon Realm Door.
 They only need to use those from the earthly world to do so.
 And even if they do, there seems to be an upper limit to the number of people from the demon world that can come to the earth at once.
 Otherwise, I don't know why all the Nine Marshals didn't show up.
 That's all the information we know at the moment.
 As for the crucial matter of what and how to open the Demon World Door, the details of the conditions are unknown because all the people who are thought to have been involved were killed and none of the Demon World's people spoke.
 If only those from the earthly world didn't do something stupid, the situation could be prevented from happening again, but I guess that's not ...... possible.
 The people of the demon world and the idiots of the earthly world who guided them were not monolithic.
 From the point of view of the people of the demon world, all the creatures of the earthly world would be nothing more than objects to be overrun, or slaves.
 There is no room for sympathy for the idiots who caused this situation, but even if you discount that, you still detest those guys from the demon world.
 I asked them to develop an anti-demonic magic and pass it on to future generations.
 I can't be responsible for it until it's left as a countermeasure in case it happens.
 We pray to God that our descendants are not stupid.
 Next, let's talk about the demons.
 It is said that there are nine generals of the demon world, and four dukes on top of them.
 The Marshal has nine legions, three generals and nine legion leaders.
 As my companions and I fought, we thought that the generals and legionaries were strong, but if they were defeated, the remaining legions would fall into chaos.
 The system is so dependent on a particular individual that the powerful individual, the superior officer, decides everything.
 This may be a system unique to the people of the demon world, where the higher up you go, the more powerful you are.
 Thanks to that, we were able to bring ourselves into a direct confrontation with Marshal Gregor in a small number of battles.
 We would like to have a reference if the same thing happened again.
 Gregor was apparently not very good at tactics, and he was not able to rebuild his men, who were in disarray after losing their general.
 However, he was strong enough to make up for it.
 Five of the seven weapons given to us by the gods had been destroyed, and I and Reinhardt were the only ones who survived among our companions.
 If Guntram hadn't used the forbidden magic that he invoked in exchange for his own life, we would have been in danger too.
 I'll have to reevaluate as far as recovery magic is concerned, but I'm not very good at it.
 If only Guntram had lived to see what he could have done: .......

                                    From the "Duo News Memorandum,

That's it.

 When Meena finished reading, the Emperor, Prime Minister and Yagami Akira, who had been listening in silence, had a complicated look on their faces.

''I honestly didn't find it very helpful, since I didn't understand some of the key points. I did understand a few things, though.''

 It was Val who said what everyone else refrained from saying without reservation.
 He said it because he thought it would cause the least stir if he said it.

'I can't deny it,'

 Meena replied without anger.
 The Emperor opens his mouth with a reproachful expression.

You'll be able to explain why Bartolomeus unexpectedly encountered the general. Even the General is unable to open the door to the magical world by himself. In other words, Bartolomeus must have found him when he was trying to do something to open it.

We were lucky that Bartolomeus was making the rounds.

 Crown Prince Adrienne says with a look of relief.
 It was a natural reaction because if it had been anyone other than Val, he would have been returned by the Marshal.

'I think it was good news that the people of the Demon World wouldn't be able to open the Demon World Door on their own. At the same time, I think I've learned about the enemy forces. They think they're using the Demon Realm forces, and it looks like they're taking advantage of them.''

 Following Claude's statement, Manuel throws a question at him.

'But, I don't know why they wanted this country. You don't mean to tell me that there's a magical portal in this country, do you?

 It's not as if the other faces weren't expecting it, either.
 A heavy air enveloped the place.

''That's odd.''

 Val opens his mouth.

'Then you would have concentrated your forces more, or acted more discreetly, wouldn't you? As long as you don't open the Demon Door, if you can't call in a large number of Demon Realm forces.

...... I don't understand.

 The Emperor sighs.

'Perhaps the demon world side and the ground side are not engaging with each other. They haven't been communicating properly either. Perhaps that's why it's better to think of it as such.'

 He asked Meena when he said that.

'It doesn't say anything about how to find the Demon Door, does it?

'None. Perhaps they didn't know that much. Even though the Ancestral Duo News experienced the Invasioon, it doesn't mean that they were present at all of the events.

 She replies matter-of-factly.

'I can't blame you for that. After all, it was a global battle.'

 No matter how long-lived DuoNews was, no matter how long-lived an elf and a great sorcerer he was, there was no way he could keep track of everything that was going on in the world.
