Surviving With An Sss-Rank Inventory Chapter 162

Episode 162:

It’s been a month since the subjugation of the Demon Lord was carried out, focusing on the eastern part.

A lot has happened in this one month.

One of those big things happened about fifteen days ago now.

It was news that most of the Union’s troops had returned to the front lines outside the Magyeong area.

The Allied Forces, who had passed the beginning of Makyeong and reached the middle, returned some soldiers in consideration of regional characteristics.

This was a decision made by the superiors who commanded the Allied Forces, and the Allied Forces that returned earlier returned first, taking the Ma Kyung’s loot with them.

At that point, people’s reactions varied.

A person who criticizes the returning Allied Forces even though Acrich is still alive.

On the other hand, people who believe that it is the judgment of the higher-ups who command the Allied Forces, so let’s just wait and see.

In any case, the situation in the east watching the Allied forces’ movements could only be described as disturbing.

Now, 15 days have passed.

A group of people appeared inside Bertio’s territory.

“What is it?”

“They’re knights, right?”

People passing by immediately realized that these were the 500 or so allied forces remaining in Magyeong.

“Report to the lord.”

“Call the priests!”

The condition of the Allied forces sent through Calliope’s magic did not look that good to people.

More than half of them were casualties.

Moreover, for some reason, the half of the survivors were in a trance-like state, as if they had just woken up from sleep.

People were filled with anxiety, wondering if the expedition had failed, but it only lasted for a moment.

Prince Prian, who came to his senses after receiving treatment from the priests, announced to everyone that he had successfully defeated Acrich.

This time, people were excited about clear good news, not ambiguous news.

Since the purpose of forming the Allied Forces has been achieved, there is no better news than this.

* * *

The lordship of Bertio.

Inside the office where the head of the Bertio family was staying, a knight who appeared to be of high rank knocked on the door.

“I will report to you. As of now, we have finished taking care of the casualties of the Allied Forces in the Eastern Magyeong Expedition. “The bodies of all the dead were moved to a nearby church, and the injured were also moved to a resting place provided with the help of each guild and lord.”

“okay. Good work.”

The Bertio family took the lead in settling the returning Allied forces under the leadership of Dalimus.

Thanks to this, other nobles and large guilds in the East were also willing to help, allowing for a quick settlement.

‘Mother said there was still work left to do.’

Before the Allied forces departed.

Bertio’s ‘mother’ Calliope came to Dalimus and left important words.

-Once this expedition is over, there will be great chaos. We might start an all-out war with the Luna Church. Dio and I can stay in the Demon World to finish the job.

Dalimus also heard from Calliope that the Luna Church was polluting the world tree of the elves and deceiving everyone.

Accordingly, Dalimus knew that the time had come to keep the promise handed down from Bertio’s ancestors.

This is Calliope’s promise to repay the favor to the ‘Sun’.

‘Through this incident, the world learned of the existence of a god called Solari. I’ll have to pay closer attention to the Luna Church’s movements.’

The Allied Forces that returned from the Demon World all blessed the sun god Solari.

Even though the Luna Church supported the Allied Forces.

This is the Luna Church, which sent three people and five swords to the Demon Lord’s expedition.

However, the name of the Luna Church was rarely mentioned in people’s mouths.

The reason why all the Allied Forces were active in the Demon World was because they thought they were believers of Solari.

Among them, Sepia, the only priest, was even revered as a saint.

‘Now what I have to do is…’

Dalimus turned his head to the middle-aged man who was with him in his office.

Swordmaster Gunther.

Dalimus’ long-time friend and the one called the Emperor’s Sword.

“What do you think?”

“Well…”

Hearing Dalimus’ words, Gunther fiddled with the teacup in front of him.

He also had quite complicated feelings about this incident.

“I think people won’t just rely on the Luna Church anymore.”

“okay. Your choice was right. “I guarantee that.”

Dalimus supported Gunther’s actions in capturing the Luna Church’s informant.

As soon as the news of the Eastern Allied Forces came, Dalimus called Gunther and told him the truth.

The truth about Solari and Luna that I heard from the ancestors and Calliope.

Of course, the fact that Calliope is Bertio’s ‘mother’ was excluded, but it was enough to persuade Gunther.

As the basis for why Bertio rejected the Luna Church.

“I plan to report your story and these events to the emperor…no problem, right?”

The Emperor may have already heard the news from Prince Prion, but Prion does not know about the corruption of Calliope and the Luna Church.

That is why Dalimus had a separate conversation with Gunther.

“okay. “I hope the emperor will lend us his strength.”

Dalimus nodded, as if waiting for Gunther’s words to report to the emperor.

The only region in which Solari’s status was higher than Luna’s was the eastern region due to the expedition.

In the first place, the East refused help from the Luna Church for a long time.

However, in other regions except the eastern part, the Luna Church still had great power.

This was something that Dalimus was aware of, so he personally called Gunther and talked to him so that he could receive help from the emperor.

If the Empire stands on the side of Solari, they will be able to face off against the massive Luna Church.

“Then please do me a favor.”

Dalimus spoke again to Gunther, who was leaving the room, and Gunther lightly motioned to Dalimus, telling him not to worry.

In this way, the aftermath of the expedition was slowly beginning to change from the situation between continents.

* * *

The banquet hall of the mansion, which was originally Lennon’s villa.

However, after Lennon’s downfall, the mansion was no longer owned by Lennon.

An event was held here to celebrate the successful completion of the subjugation of the Demon Lord.

Not only nobles from the East, but also numerous nobles from all over.

They sincerely congratulated the Allied forces on their victory.

No, it might not have been sincere.

The Bertio family is slowly advancing to the center despite going through one ups and downs called Lennon.

There were many nobles who wanted to attract the attention of this huge and prestigious family.

People who participated in the Allied Forces were also present in the banquet hall.

Among them, there was one who could be called the protagonist, and he was none other than Ates, the second son of the Bertio family.

“Acrich already knew of the existence of our Allied Forces. “From the beginning of the Demon World, his numerous legions of demonic beasts were greeting us.”

Ates, surrounded by numerous nobles, began to describe the situation the Allied forces experienced at the time.

“But we also knew this. “We strengthened the main unit’s defense and the Holy Maiden of Solari came forward.”

“Oooh!”

“The saint took the lead in confronting the demonic beast army?”

The nobles were impressed by Ates’ words.

This was because it was extremely unfamiliar to them to see a noble person, such as a saint, go directly to battle.

“The saint created a small sun. That brilliant light illuminated the terrible demonic landscape in an instant, and even the demonic beasts were busy retreating in fear.”

Ates did not simply tell the story of the Allied Forces’ experiences.

The situation at that time was described through gestures or an appropriate story was told to suit the performance decorating the banquet.

Perhaps that was why most of the nobles in the hall fell in love with the story of Ates.

“The sun swallowed the enemies and at that moment!”

Ates interrupted at just the right moment, and the nobles each swallowed their saliva.

While the people were fretting, Ates took some time to talk.

“The great warrior of the sun has drawn his sword.”

Artes did not talk about his performance.

The historical moment of this eastern expedition seemed to signal the narrative of only Solari and her followers.

Great warrior of the sun and saint.

And even the story of a vampire and a witch who follows the sun.

People were fascinated by Ates’ story, and when his story ended, they all chanted.

“Solari!”

“Solari!”

Their cries are almost fanatical.

However, those who heard Ates’ story truly praised the warrior of Solari who fought against darkness.

There are strangely many monsters rampaging across the past continent, and many people are in trouble.

People sensed that the Demon King’s resurrection was approaching and they all trembled in fear.

However, people had no choice but to praise the sun when they realized that a new god had appeared to solve this problem.

They believe that Solari is the only god who can stop the coming darkness.

“Great Warrior of the Sun… I think it’s quite an excessive title, but I guess that’s not it either.”

Delcid, the son of Sword Master Gunther, left the banquet hall muttering to himself.

Delcid, like his father, was not very interested in social circles.

Delcid was invited to social gatherings every year, but he always refused, citing training as an excuse.

But this time, Delcid himself attended the banquet.

He was also curious about the story of this expedition.

‘Isn’t that everything I showed you back then?’

Delcid knew that the ‘Great Warrior of the Sun’, who can be seen as the main character in Ates’ story, refers to Dio.

That made it even more surprising.

Although Dio’s strength at the time of his duel with Lennon was incredible, he was not thought to be strong enough to defeat Acrich.

‘I guess I haven’t become as strong as my father.’

The first thing Delcid felt when he saw Dio, who was a similar age to him, was just a slight desire to win.

A genius like himself who is talented in swordsmanship.

I thought that was it.

Delcid has crossed swords with many noble children who consider themselves geniuses.

And as always, Delcid was only disappointed.

However, Delcid had a different opinion due to the unconventional actions of a character named Dio.

‘It’s not at a level I can surpass.’

Delcid wanted to know.

Perhaps it was his belief in Solari that made Dio so strong?

Or maybe it’s just because Dio is a genius beyond imagination.

Quadang!

Delcid, who was wandering the street lost in thought, realized that someone had bumped into him and made him fall.

“Aaaah!”

“Is this okay?”

Delcid helped the fallen child up and comforted him.

The child cried even more bitterly because the object he was holding was broken rather than because of the injury caused by the fall.

‘This?’

A small wooden sculpture that seems to symbolize the sun.

It seemed to be a statue of the sun created to celebrate the success of the Allied Forces.

Through this, Delcid was able to find out that the news about the subjugation of the Demon Lord had already spread deeply throughout the country.

Now people know that the sun is protecting them.

As Delcid looked at the statue, a question suddenly came to mind.

‘Something is strange…’

In some ways, the symbolism of the sun is much greater than that of the moon.

Doesn’t everyone welcome the sun in the morning?

But why did there not exist any belief in the sun until now?

Why do people expect more from the moon than from the sun?

‘No way…’
