The Game of the Greatest Black Mage-Chapter 315

Chapter 315

0.

“Everyone, maintain your positions!!!”

“Set up the camp!!!”

“Hey! Who the hell digs a drainage ditch like that!!!”

“S, sorry!!!”

While the camp was being set up noisily.

Subjugation Team 3 joined them.

However, something was strange.

A appearance that seemed to have taken considerable damage.

And the important knights and the royal court mage were not visible.

“Wh, what happened to Team 3!?”

As Team 1 and Team 2, who had arrived earlier, were setting up camp, they noticed something strange and asked.

Seonghyun stepped forward and explained the situation.

And.

“B, Baron?”

“Baltalok?”

“Wh, who is that???”

For a moment, several people glared at the knight who had misspoken, but.

Seonghyun pretended not to notice and repeatedly told the story.

When they heard the story that a demon had attacked and slaughtered the knight and the royal court mage, and that he had somehow managed to defeat it, everyone stared blankly at Seonghyun.

They had heard he was Hindel's disciple, but.

To think he was at a level where he could defeat a demon baron alone.

Honestly, they were so surprised that they just swallowed hard.

A demon baron is considerably strong.

The majority of the assessments were, 'As expected of the hero's disciple.'

'Was there a demon stronger than a baron?'

'No, I don't think so.'

'In the first place, we can't summon a noble-class one.'

'Isn't this a problem?'

'Shouldn't we report this?'

Just in case.

They questioned the members of Subjugation Team 3.

And they showed perfectly matching opinions.

In addition, they were able to hear a long speech about how strong Seonghyun was.

How should they take this?

The deaths of the knights and the royal court mage were a secondary issue.

The problem was that this was one of the biggest variables that could change their future plans.

That's why all the knights of the Rieskan Kingdom couldn't hide their astonishment.

Will the plan collapse like this?

For now, those who heard this news went to the subjugation commander and hurriedly reported it.

Kairo, the knight commander of the Sol Knights, who was resting after giving the leisurely order to set up camp, frowned as he saw the knight who had rushed into his barracks.

Usually, in cases like this, bad reports tend to fly in.

As he looked at the knight irritably.

“Commander.”

“Yes, what is it?”

“N-no, it's just…”

As the knight who had rushed in hurriedly reported what he had heard.

Kairo's expression became tinged with astonishment.

“What? A demon baron?”

There were no such high-rank demons among those they had summoned.

That means.

'Did it appear on its own?'

No, perhaps the demons summoned it and it escaped from the mine.

There was no element here that could tie down a baron-class demon.

Did they try to reduce the subjugation force little by little, only to be subjugated instead?

That thought occurred to him.

If this were the case, the death of the baron was also a timely achievement.

However, there was another problem.

'The hero's disciple is bothering me.'

He thought he would be weak because he was the hero's disciple, but.

To think he caught a baron-class demon.

And all by himself…

Perhaps he might be stronger than himself.

He had planned to cause as many casualties as possible in this mine and kill all the demons, but.

If it becomes like this.

'The plan might be disrupted because of the hero's disciple.'

Because with the sole existence of Seonghyun, the number of casualties could be drastically reduced.

He had to prevent that.

It would be good if he could be separated, but.

Would that be possible?

Kairo, who was racking his brain for a moment, thought of something.

'Since he is the hero's disciple. I'll ask him to scout the mine's situation with a small number of personnel and deploy a few of our knights to strike them along with the demons.'

The problem was the power that had even defeated a baron.

He had already thought of that.

'If I send knights with him and they betray him in the middle of the fight, it will be enough.'

Especially, wasn't there a high-rank demon who wasn't a noble but could almost rise above them?

If the knights aimed for his back at that moment, no matter how much he was the hero's disciple, he would be helpless.

It was the simplest method, but.

It was also a method that could receive a lot of suspicion.

That's why he was a little reluctant, but.

Right now, there was no other way.

'I'll have to attach about two knights.'

As Kairo was thinking that and making a plan.

Seonghyun, Barbaros, and Will, who had been assigned separate barracks and were resting there, were talking with the sound from inside the barracks blocked from leaking out.

“They will probably form something like a special unit to separate me. Like a reconnaissance team.”

“Should we join them then?”

“I can do it.”

Barbaros and Will said so.

And Seonghyun also spoke as if he was confident.

“My swordsmanship and the demons are natural enemies. And if we go in by ourselves, we can naturally handle my vassals as we please, so it's advantageous.” 𝑓𝘳𝑒𝑒𝓌𝘦𝘣𝘯ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝑚

“That's excellent.”

“Good.”

“If we enter the mine first, we will have to catch all the demons by ourselves.”

A large number of demons, enough to form a subjugation force.

To think they have to catch them all by themselves.

It was impossible not to feel burdened.

However, Will nodded with a determined expression.

Barbaros was the same.

This was a chance to experience such a scenario firsthand.

How could he back out?

The excited Barbaros and the determined Will.

Looking at the two, Seonghyun nodded his head.

'The number of demons is enough to bring in over 600 elite soldiers.'

At the very least, there would be over 100 demons.

Generally, if they were strong individuals of this caliber, five of them could probably take down one demon.

If one were to think they came with some leeway, one could calculate it as about 100 demons.

But to think that only the three of them had to handle it?

It wouldn't be easy, but.

Well, didn't Seonghyun have his vassals?

-Just leave it to me.

At Helena's reassuring words, Seonghyun nodded his head.

Then, when would he be called?

As Seonghyun was thinking that to himself.

A knight came running into the barracks where Seonghyun was.

And then.

“The hero's disciple, Seonghyun-nim?”

“Yes, that's me.”

“The… The subjugation commander is looking for you.”

The opportunity came sooner than he thought, and Seonghyun smiled, nodded, and got up from his seat.

“Let's go.”

1.

There was a subjugation force meeting.

A subjugation force meeting that was held by gathering the strong individuals of the main subjugation force.

Kairo, the commander of the subjugation force and the representative of the knights, the vice-knight commander Pam, and the most outstanding individuals from each unit were summoned.

Seonghyun was one of them.

The main content of the meeting was that they didn't know what was going on inside the mine now.

The main theme was that they were anxious.

At the same time, it was a story about the need for a reconnaissance team to scout the inside of the mine and gauge the atmosphere.

Even though the commander, Kairo, did not lead it.

It naturally flowed that way.

And the conclusion led to one thing.

It had to be a strong individual who could return alive from such a place, and it had to be a small number of people.

Otherwise, they would just die as soon as they entered.

Wouldn't their forces just be weakened?

However, what if they sent strong individuals here and they died?

Shouldn't the focus be on stealth rather than strength?

There were such stories, but.

If they entered stealthily and were eventually caught, they would be dead anyway.

It led to the conclusion that it would be better to send a strong individual who could escape.

And there was only one person who could be called suitable.

“My colleagues and I will go.”

As Seonghyun volunteered.

Most of the executives couldn't help but exclaim in admiration.

“Ooooh! As expected of the disciple of the hero Hindel-nim.”

“Your upright appearance truly resembles Hindel-nim.”

“Such a sacrificial act… I hope you return safely.”

“Ahem, if you are willing to do so, I am truly grateful. I mean it.”

Even Kairo, who spoke sincerely at the end.

Amidst everyone's talk, Seonghyun decided to step forward.

And Kairo added.

“It might be dangerous with just you all. I will attach two of our knights.”

“Thank you.”

“Ooh, if it's the Sol Knights of the Rieskan Kingdom, we can trust them.”

“That will be very reassuring.”

“Then, including myself, my two colleagues, and the two knights, it will be a total of five.”

“That's a perfect number for a reconnaissance team.”

“Excellent.”

As everyone unanimously approved.

Seonghyun also made a determined expression and said.

“We will go and return carefully.”

After the meeting.

As the saying goes, strike while the iron is hot.

Seonghyun and his colleagues were preparing to leave for reconnaissance immediately.

In the midst of that, two knights joined them.

Both of them looked agile, but they were not wearing armor.

Speed is the life of a reconnaissance team.

That's why both had taken off their armor.

“Greetings, it is an honor to serve you. I am Perry of the Sol Knights.”

“My name is Baron. I look forward to working with you.”

Perry was a female knight, and Baron was a male knight.

They were both impressive knights who looked agile yet had firm muscles.

It seemed they had selected fast individuals for the reconnaissance team.

Seonghyun looked at the two, nodded, and shook their hands.

“I look forward to working with you.”

As he shook their hands, he slyly asked Helena.

-What do you think?

Helena, who had scanned the aura of the two while in contact, answered with conviction.

-That's right, they are both summoners.

-As expected.

A demon summoner who is a knight and can summon demons.

The fact that the two were placed in the same reconnaissance team was certain.

That they were trying to kill him by having him surrounded by demons.

Well, those two might also die in the process, but.

It seemed they had deployed the fastest individuals to ensure they could escape somehow.

'How amusing.'

Of course, from Seonghyun's perspective, who knew all the facts, it was just amusing.

Looking closely.

There was no communication orb.

It seemed to be because although they could summon demons and handle demonic energy, they couldn't handle mana.

In other words.

It also meant that it wouldn't be known if they were killed.

'Well, there's no harm in being careful.'

As Seonghyun thought that, he gave a look to Barbaros and Will.

They nodded their heads as if they understood.

Will, who had set out for revenge on the demons, and Seonghyun and Barbaros, who had come here to help Will.

As they finished all their preparations.

Baron and Perry also prepared to set out.

“Let's depart.”

As Seonghyun said that.

All the prepared personnel flew swiftly towards the mine.

The mage Barbaros and the black mage Will moved as fast as if they were flying using magic, and Seonghyun and the two knights kicked off the ground and flew swiftly.

Barbaros, Will, and the two knights were all inwardly astonished at Seonghyun's speed as he ran as if he were being shot.

An enormous speed.

It was even overwhelming to follow him, but.

Seonghyun soon noticed it and slowed down a bit.

As it became easier to follow, the two knights' expressions twisted slightly.

'Damn, the difference is huge from the start.'

'As expected of the commander's orders, I must kill him here.'

The two of them looked at Seonghyun and raised their guard to the maximum.

After moving for a long time, they were able to reach the front of the mine.

There were holes scattered around the mine, but.

In front of the largest hole, the figures of two demons that looked like shadows could be seen.

Looking at that, Seonghyun spoke carefully.

“We'll have to take care of those two before we go in.”

At those words, the remaining four nodded their heads.

And Barbaros and Will cast a spell.

As the five figures became blurry and went into stealth with the magic.

Seonghyun was the first to step forward and cut down both of them at once with a single stroke.

Thud.

“Let's go.”

At that sight, the two knights' pupils trembled slightly.

Can we really kill that person?

That thought occurred to them, but it was a mission.

They quickly stepped forward and entered the mine.

Firmly believing that it was the trap they had dug themselves.
