Episode 137
“Prince Prian, please explain your future plans.”
“….”
Prian looked blankly at Dio, who was waiting for his answer.
He looked like he was asking himself why he was asking that.
But soon he returned to his polite expression.
This is because I realized Dio’s intentions too late.
Now, there is only one reason why Dio followed up Ates’ question and asked it back to Prian.
As the person to whom Bertio has delegated responsibility, this probably means that he will recognize himself as the general manager of this expedition.
Of course, the intention was appreciated, but Prian hesitated for a moment because he could not think about what would happen next.
They simply had the mindset to win the Luna Church’s battle of wits, but did not think deeply about their specific plans.
No matter how excellent his military ability was, Prion did not know in detail where the allied forces should be directed because it was his first time subjugating the Demon Lord.
“First of all, I heard that an evil being called Deathrugger is hastening the resurrection of the Demon King…”
“It’s the same revelation I received.”
“Oh, of course I heard your speech. But the story I heard was recorded in an ancient imperial document.”
Not wanting to miss the opportunity, Prian mentioned the ancient documents of the imperial family that he knew.
“An Acrich named Deathrugger. “He will become our main enemy.”
“Was there information about Acrich also written in the ancient documents?”
“No, all I know is Acrich’s name.”
Prian shook his head in response to Dio’s question.
In fact, it was an imperial library that was said to have recorded a thousand years of history, but it was unknown what kind of magic Acrich used.
However, the only brief record was that it was so strong and fearsome that it could not even be compared to other lichs.
However, it doesn’t matter if there is no information about Acrich.
Dio, who knew more about him than anyone else, was with the punitive force.
However, Prian did not expect Dio to know such information.
He began to share his carefully thought-out plan with everyone.
“The magic area is very wide. I think our priority is to search for Acrich’s location. And then…”
“Tsk.”
While everyone was concentrating on Prian’s words, the sound of clicking one’s tongue cut off his words.
How dare he act so arrogantly in response to the prince’s words?
Of course, it was a sound that came from the mouth of a high elf.
“You seem to be dissatisfied with something.”
“I didn’t even expect records left by ignorant people.”
Elaine shook off Aldur’s attempts to dissuade her and began spouting harsh words.
“Who didn’t know how wide the demon world was? All I know is the name. “Can we believe this and move forward?”
On the outside, he looked very young, but that was only his appearance.
The sight of Elaine, a high elf who had lived for over a thousand years, interrogating Frian was not that unusual.
But anyway, Prian had to lead the alliance, and Dio had to deal with Elaine who would not acknowledge it.
“So what are your plans?”
“what?”
When Dio answered on Prian’s behalf, Elaine turned to him again with raised eyes.
“Hehe. What are you finding so difficult? “Wouldn’t this be solved if all the demonic beasts that exist in the demon world are dealt with?”
“…Everything?”
Everyone was dumbfounded by Elaine’s remarks as if it was such a simple matter.
Although the size of the expedition was large, it was absurd to deal with the entire Demonic Realm.
‘But with these people, it’s not impossible.’
Dio recalled the power of the five swords that he remembered as a player.
But that happened a little more time later.
Even if it was possible, it would be extremely inefficient and, at the moment, absurd.
Considering that the empire’s regular army had not yet been able to subdue the Demon Lord, they would not have made such a foolish suggestion.
“I’m sorry. “Pretend you didn’t hear me.”
Aldur, who was hearing this, apologized on Elaine’s behalf and quickly sent a look to Galetto to stop her.
“Hehe, please be quiet.”
“Don’t touch my body.”
When Galetto pulled Elaine’s collar, Elaine actually got angry.
It seems like he doesn’t understand or has any intention of understanding what he did wrong.
“Prince Prian. “Do you mind if I express a weak opinion?”
Dio quickly opened his mouth while the five swords were fighting among themselves.
“Do you have any good ideas?”
Prion ignored Dio’s words as if he had been waiting.
* * *
It’s been about a year since I fell into the world of the order board.
In the meantime, a lot has happened and many events have changed.
When I first lived in Evra Village as a warehouse character, it was before the starting point of the scenario.
It can be seen as the concept of a tutorial.
Likewise, when Sepia was trapped in the warlock’s lair, also before the story of The Order began.
That time period was when the 3rd Prince Prian was conquering the ‘Yellow Turban Rebellion’ in the western region.
When entering a full-fledged scenario, the player passes time by years.
It’s a game, so it’s natural.
But now I am in a position to live reality day by day.
Dalimus died suddenly and Lennon took over at least a year to reach the conclusion that he would have taken over as head of the family.
So, I thought that what was happening now was a year before the time in the world of the Order version I was playing.
But now there is no need to worry about such complicated timelines.
Because after living in reality on the order board, time began to accelerate.
It was as if the scenario was progressing according to me.
‘The scenario I experienced is being brought forward. Was it an influence on the things I did? Or…’
Or maybe the timeline was messed up because of myself, an uninvited guest.
Let me list the turning points of events that I clearly remember.
It is said that the 3rd Prince Prian completely put an end to the bandit rebellion and brought peace to the West.
Some northern cities, which would have been fine until the latter part of the game, were destroyed.
Including Estellum, which was Schuwald’s base.
Lastly, things related to the devil in the eastern region.
I found out something by asking the nobles of the East whether the demonic beasts were running rampant as I knew.
That means the Demon King’s resurrection is progressing much faster than planned.
Normally, problems in the eastern part would become a big issue only after the player had grown sufficiently.
But after listening to the story and seeing that it was happening to that level now, I was convinced.
The events set on the order board are not based on a ‘scenario’ but happen in accordance with my ‘growth’.
‘But the events that came so quickly were not the same.’
Taking Luave as an example, the pattern was different from what I knew.
That’s because Luav is a character from the past than the Luav I know in the game.
That said, this Descruger could also be the same as Luave.
‘Of course, I don’t think the difference will be as drastic as Luave.’
If you think about the years that the pentagram Descruger has lived, it is difficult to think that its strength or pattern will change with just a year or two difference.
Of course, we cannot guarantee that there are no variables at all, but the probability is very rare.
‘There may be some variations, but it’s going according to the scenario I knew. The pace is accelerating to match my own.’
If so, there will be no major problems in using future information in future plans.
The same goes for this expedition.
‘If it’s the Deathrugger I know…it’s not me. ‘You probably know about the existence of the Eastern Allied Forces.’
The conditions for encountering the pentagram Deathcruger are quite difficult.
First, users must stabilize the eastern region by defeating the rampaging demons under the influence of Deathrugger.
Only then are you given a quest to deal with Deathcruger, the final boss of the East, through the system.
Accordingly, Deathrugger notices the player’s presence and, knowing that it is his turn, completes his preparations.
‘What’s different here is that I didn’t deal with the demonic beasts rampaging in the east.’
If you think about this, the number of Descruger’s minions flocking to the demonic realm was bound to be much greater than remembered.
However, the size of the troops is different on my side as well.
Dozens of elite imperial knights and over a thousand elite soldiers led by the 3rd prince Prian.
Hundreds of mercenaries led by Agram, the king of mercenaries.
The five most powerful swords of the Luna Church.
There were also over a thousand knights and soldiers brought by nobles from each region.
In addition, there were mercenaries hired separately from the merchant guild and fighters who gathered here for various reasons.
Just by simple calculation, the Allied forces were much stronger than Descruger.
But the variable is still the five swords.
They were not on my side but another enemy, so I had to prepare for this.

“Quickly find Acrich hiding somewhere in the Demonic Land and annihilate him. “This seems simple, but it is difficult.”
“okay. But there is no other way, is there? “Unless you know Acrich’s location… you might know.”
In his conversation with Dio, Prian recalled that he was the one receiving revelations from the sun god.
If so, wouldn’t you also know about Acrich’s location? A thought passed through my mind.
Dio looked at him and nodded, as if the prince’s thoughts were correct.
“Yes, that’s right.”
“Right. Then, how can we avoid unnecessary friction with the demonic beasts that exist in the vast demonic realm?”
“That’s not true, prince.”
“what? “What does that mean?”
Dio snapped his fingers in response to Prian’s question, signaling everyone else to pay attention to what he said.
“Let’s summarize briefly. Acrich is preparing for the resurrection of the Demon King. So what if you kill Acrich? The resurrection of the Demon King will also be able to be prevented or postponed. “This is something we all know.”
“yes.”
“But Acrich is also someone who has lived for a long time. Of course you know this.”
“Right. I thought it was too easy. “I should have taken into account the possibility that Acrich could be aware of our movements.”
At Dio’s words, Prian blamed himself for his mistake.
“In that case, I might be able to play there first.”
“yes. “The reason the Demonic World is dangerous is because of the presence of powerful demonic beasts, but the big problem is that when they gather together, even a decent army cannot stop them.”
“Then what should I do? The demonic beasts of the Demon World are unknown monsters. Even though it was clearly known that they were gathering under the command of Acrich, they pushed ahead with the subjugation…”
The Demon Lord’s map was quite widely known by mercenaries and adventurers.
In addition, Prian compiled information found in the royal archives and created a map of the Demonic Classics.
But that’s until the halfway point of the Demonic Sutra.
The area beyond the middle… what is the ecology like, what kind of monsters are there, and what other dangers may lurk there.
It was literally an unknown land.
“Do not worry.”
Dio grinned at Prian’s concern.
Dio was a figure of more than a thousand hours of playtime in Demonic World alone.
“Because we all have preparedness plans.”

In a dull cave where no light enters.
The main shrine was carved out of a cave deep underground.
There were only two ominous eye lights flashing inside.
An undead who has lived for a thousand years.
Descruger, the so-called Magician King or Lord of Liches, spoke.
“Insolent bastards. “I will hinder His coming.”
A creepy voice, like scraping metal, echoes through the cave.
In his previous life, Descruger was a great wizard who made a name for himself on the continent as a summoner.
The fact that he succumbed to the power of the devil and coveted the power of the necromancer was a story widely known to those who were alive at the time.
Deathrugger, a traitor to humanity.
‘It’s coming exactly towards this place. Did Luna’s dogs find me? Surprisingly. The information would have been completely blocked.’
The scarlet glow that replaced Descruger’s eyes began to roll back and forth.
Descruger, who had already sensed the troops approaching the demonic region, gathered all the strong demonic beasts in the east.
In addition, he used his abilities to the fullest to revive rotting corpses and create new soldiers.
Banshee Ghoul, War Orc, Dullahan Chimera, etc. were raised in countless numbers.
There is no problem with the number of troops or the quality of the troops.
However, because Luna’s five swords are in the enemy camp, victory is not guaranteed.
‘Even if we can’t win, we can stop them.’
What Descruger wants is to take time away.
If they bring in reinforcements, it won’t be a bad thing from his perspective.
This means that their time will be delayed even more.
‘Oh, Luna’s dogs. ‘I will repay you hundreds of times for the betrayal you committed a thousand years ago.’
As Deathrugger’s decision hardened, the Great Hall shook greatly in response.
But Descruger didn’t know.
The person who led them to find Deathcruger was not Luna, but the Apostle of the Forgotten God, their natural enemy.
