291-290 Zebiantes confronts the Demon King army (demon side)



What was that?
Are those birds?
A magic flying machine?

 Numerous soldiers from the Demon Lord's Army, all of them without exception, looked up at the sky.
 They focused on the unidentified object flying from there.

''No, that's...?
''A woman!''

 The magic of the wind attribute has a technique that makes the sorcerer fly like a bird in a gust of wind.
 This is a lady who sits in the sky with her magic and radiates an emerald glow.

 The soldiers of the Demon King's Army knew about her.

''No way...?
Mr. Zeviantes!

 She's now the Four Heavenly Kings of the last period.
 I'm sure they've been stripped of their titles and are now a person of the past.

 You can't help but take your eyes off of them with their shimmering beauty.

 She is a dancer of the wind, free to the fullest. It was the previous Four Heavenly Kings 'Huafu' Zebiantes.

''Why are you here...?

 While shouting, Lizet was convinced somewhere in her heart.

 Ever since he was the current Four Heavenly King, Zeviantes had been obsessed with mithril and frequented the village of Lax, which was a collection point for it.

 Lizet was also aware of this.
 After she was ousted from the Four Heavenly Kings, her whereabouts were unknown, but she must have mostly settled in the village of Lax.

 And Lax village is controlled by that man.

"He sent you to do this...?

 Rizzet's soliloquy, "I don't know," was not heard even by those around him, as if he was biting down with his back teeth.

''Zebiantes! What do you want here!

 Instead, the rookie Fourth Heavenly King 'Weak Fire' Gerz said bravely.

''You couldn't even fulfill the mission of the Fourth Heavenly King, you were forced to resign, and now you're going to get off your ass and talk about this? This is not the place you should be here! Losers can retreat to the corner like losers!
Who are you, Boya?
Boy!

 Zebiantes with a toothless wind against Gels.

 I'm sure the reason why they are scurrying around with their gazes is because they thought that the one they just spoke to wouldn't make a difference.
 And it was when I turned to Lizet that my gaze eventually settled on her.

'I think I've seen your face somewhere. I have no choice but to talk to you.
''That attitude ooohhhh...?

 It had been a long time since Lizet had experienced the sycophantic attitude of the first semester's Four Heavenly Kings firsthand.
 It's not just a matter of how much time you have left on the clock.

But since you're not going to be able to talk about it, I'm going to go get a higher ranking person. You don't have the words to talk to an underling.
I'm the commander of this army, for Christ's sake!
That makes it all the more sinful.

 Zebiantes still floated high in the sky by wind magic, seemingly glowering down at the Demon King's army from far above.

 And at his side, for some reason, a middle-aged man was clinging to him and crying out.

''Geeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee! I'm so high! Falling ughhhhhh?!

 Perhaps they are floating together because they clung to Zebiantes' female body, but since wind magic only works on the sorcerer himself, if you let go, you have no choice but to fall.

It's a good thing that you've got a good idea of what you're looking for. And yet here we are, showing a move to invade the Mithril mine.
"Hey! It's so far! "The ground is so far away!
You're not going to tell me it's not an invasion, are you? I'm leading such a large army, and I'm armed to the hilt.
My feet are limping!
In other words, you must be committing an act of rebellion against the Demon King! Otherwise, military action in the middle of an armistice agreement is a clear violation of the rules!
'Geez! Don't shake it and let go! "My hands are free!
I'm sure he'd be very angry if I told Lady Granberza about this! He's so scary when he's angry! This I know firsthand!
'My palms are starting to sweat! Slip! Slipping down ugh, ugh, ugh!

 Anyway, all the officers of the Demon King's Army thought in unison, ''That old man is so annoying.

 I'm not sure why they're flying with Xeviantes, but the thought that came to mind was...

I don't know why I'm flying with them, but the thought that came to mind was... "I'm sure that man must have been caught up in the whims of Zebiantes.
 Or.
'Dying of envy in your beautiful body, Lady Zebiantes.
 I guess.

 Anyway.

'You people threaten the Mithril mine, you know what you're doing! You can turn around and go home right now!
That's not going to happen.

 The one who answered decisively was Rizzeto.
 It was Rizeto, who had now become a dark general and carried an army.

No, I'm not going to. It's a good idea to have a good idea of what you're going to do. This operation is officially approved by the Demon King. This is a legally flawless action.
That's such a banana!

 Even Lizete isn't convinced.
 Bezelia was the one who got the Demon King's permission in the first place, and Lizet herself has only questions about why she was allowed to do so.

 In order to unravel that, I also served in the army.
 The arrows that are released do not stop until they pierce the target.

The fact that there was no movement to retake the Mithril mine in the first place, that was more unusual. Mithril is an important resource for the demon tribe. We must get it back into the hands of the demon tribe at all costs. It's only natural for them to think that way.
'But Mithril should be bought and supplied by the human race! I'm sure you're not in any trouble!

 As Zeviantes said, after the Mithril Mine, an important base, was taken away, the demon race was supposed to be cut off from the Mithril supply and be in complete shortage.

 What saved them was an offer from the human side to sell mithril.
 Normally, they should have been able to feed their troops and make their opponents suffer. At first, the sale price was exorbitant, four times the market price, but now it had settled down to almost a fair price.

 It was all thanks to that man who was looking out for them behind the scenes.

 This act of aggression was tantamount to avenging the huge debt of gratitude he had received from that man.
 Even so, Lizet could not turn back.

''Zebiantes, if you were once a member of the Demon King's army, you should pave the way. You should agree and cooperate with us. The Demon King's army must be victorious. That's why we need the Mithril Mine!
You're not supposed to do that.

 It was obvious, but Zebiantes' reply was clear.

 A murmur spread among the soldiers.

I have always obeyed my flamboyant sense of beauty. I have never obeyed a military order, so why should I obey it after I leave the military?
'Don't be so proud to say that!

 In the end, Zeviantes was such a woman.

 Although she had assumed the glorious position of the Four Heavenly Kings, she didn't understand the importance of this position until the very end, and she only acted freely.
 Even after she left the Demon King's Army, her selfishness interferes with her.

''In the first place, it's not going to be interesting if Mithril returns to the Demon King's Army. ''In the first place, it would be very uninteresting if Mithril returned to the Demon King's Army, even though an ideal world of interesting Mithril products is growing.

 Zebiantes said.

''It's definitely better to leave the mithril processing to Lax Village. That's why it's nigh-on impossible for the Demon King's army to take back the mine! My sense of beauty and creativity won't allow it!
''What nonsense!

 In the end, Zebiantes ended up on the human side.......or rather, Dariel's side, which was, in a way, predictable.

 And that has stirred up more and more suspicion in Lizet.
 If the connection between Dariel and Zebiantes has grown so thick, then there was a chance that Zebiantes could have made a move on the brave men that Dariel sent to him.

 No, that was still the stage of doubt.
 His mind wavered between trusting and doubting his friend.

''Even if he was a former Four Heavenly Kings........how irresponsible of him to behave!

 Next to the distressed Lizet, newcomer Gels expresses his young indignation.

''Let's take that one down before we take back the Mithril Mine and show him what happens to traitors! Lord Rizzet, give me permission to attack! It's also the duty of the Four Heavenly Kings to deal with their disappointing predecessors!
So who is this boya?

 He clashed with the former Four Heavenly Kings before the full-scale battle.
 It was clearly not an interesting flow. I don't want to waste any unnecessary wear and tear before a full-scale battle.

''We have to wait!

 And yet, the source of the growing fuss.

"If you're going to do it, leave it to me! If the Four Heavenly Kings were standing in the way of your predecessors, then it's only natural that I would crush them myself! One of the current Four Heavenly Kings, 'Breeze' Siltke!
"So what are they all about?

 A showdown between the new and the old Four Heavenly Kings of Wind.

 Without a doubt, the battle of the Four Heavenly Kings is about to take place.
