Chapter 228. Groche Castle in the Battle (9)

* * *

Inside the Groche Castle.

The demons were constantly reporting the war situation to Sakiel. Sakiel was sending reinforcements to each defense line while checking dozens of crystal spheres located in the operation room.

“Sakiel! The right first line of defense has been completely destroyed. The fleet of Runtia Runcandel, Secret Palace’s Little Princess, and Ziple, led by the White Whale, is continuing to push in!”

“The report is late. They are already hitting the second line of defense. Move faster and send more 13th Army there.”

“All right!”

“Front Jin Runkandel’s army has begun to break through the 3rd line of defense. Most of the cannons have already been neutralized, and Milius Kitalin Demon King, who attempted to stop it, has been killed.”

“The entire Kitalin family has just been summoned. I’ll open the dimensional gate, so tell them to go straight to the front 3rd line of defense. As the whole family goes, I will buy you even a little more time than Milius.”

“In the rear, after the first line of defense was breached, the speed at which the zips came in has slowed down a bit. That’s why their fleet has been dispersed, and that’s why it’s being replenished as well. When the gathering is over, it is judged that the speed will increase again.”

“The situation on the left is similar, but Orgal has yet to appear in person.”

He had a calm expression on his face, but Sakiel felt like he was going crazy because his chest was stuffy.

The defense line was crumbling too quickly than expected.

‘At this rate, ten days at the most. No… maybe I won’t be able to last even a week.’

Naturally, the current situation is very far from the picture Sakiel wanted.

Sakiel received the authority from Zito to wield full authority over the invasion of the royal family, so any success or failure in the process was up to her.

To be precise, it was up to her and Paellito. He could endure things going wrong with himself and Groschega, but he wanted to prevent Faelito from being punished.

‘The speed at which troops die is much faster than being summoned. Besides, those who can be called real demon lords are rarely recruited.’

Summoning a high-level demon king and a large amount of troops is not something that can be solved with Sakiel’s ability. That was only possible for a few demon lords, including Zito and Paellito.

‘…what the hell is Jito-sama thinking? Even if Paellito spared it for the sake of his body in the Holy Land, he would be able to send as many other demon lords and advanced troops as he wants.’

Since the intention was to defend the main base of the Jinma world, the castle was to be attacked at Grosh, which was no different from the gateway.

‘Are you maintaining your base forces to keep Biseps in check? no it can’t be No matter what power Biseps hides, he cannot dare to threaten Jito-sama. It’s just fugitives who survive like ephemera.’

I have already posted support requests to Zito several times, but have not heard back.

Therefore, Sakiel had to somehow solve this situation with the remaining troops and his own abilities.

“I will prepare the great magic from now on.”

“Sakiel-nim, you said it was the great magic…?”

“Chapter of Loss.”

The eyes of the demons widened.

The Field of Loss is one of the most taboo magic among the demons, and has the effect of forcibly reproducing the ‘cycle of oblivion’.

As much as it is an unreasonable representation, there are many side effects of magic. Unlike the original cycle of oblivion, the field of loss lost not only memories but also the authority and power of the object.

In addition, it was not possible to use Pia separately, and the price required to spread magic was also horrendous.

“…Sachiel-sama, are you thinking of self-destruction?”

“There seems to be no other way, so there is no choice.”

“Even if we use all the dead soldiers and generals as sacrifices, it will not be enough to spread the field of loss.”

“If I add myself and Jito-sama’s uniqueness, the sacrifice is sufficient.”

“I cannot lose Sakiel. Rather, we…!”

“If your abilities were as high as mine, you would have done so. But don’t you know that it’s not enough to use only you as sacrifices without me? It’s a choice for Jito-sama and the entire Jinma world, so there’s no reason to suffer.”

The demons lowered their heads.

“When they arrive, use the field of loss, close the entire castle to Grosh, and destroy the portal to the realm of demons.”

“But if you do that, Jito-sama won’t be able to come out with royalties later, won’t it?”

“No, even if I destroy it, Jito-sama is in a situation where he can quickly form the next dimension. If you successfully hit the enemies through the field of loss, Inse will be in a much more comfortable state for Jito-sama to spread his will.”

If the plan succeeds, Sakiel will cause irreparable damage to most of Inse’s power.

‘They don’t know much about our dark magic. So you can’t prepare for the field of loss in advance. But… Jiple’s demon stone bothers me.’

The Jin Demon World has already grasped information about the Demon Stone’s ability to manipulate history. From Sakiel’s point of view, the demon stone was a tool that could possibly use the higher abilities of the Lost Field.

‘However, even if the demon stone can neutralize the field of loss, Jiple will have to pay the price as well. If history can be manipulated for nothing in return, they are already royalties no. They had to be the sole rulers of the world.’

And Jin’s presence also bothered me.

‘Jin Runkandel… I wonder if it’s just because of his performance so far, but for some reason I think he has something that can withstand the field of loss.’

Of course, in that case, as with Ziple, a price must be paid. Even if Jin endured the field of loss, he would not be able to protect others from suffering. Sakiel organized his thoughts like that.

If you can’t win anyway, this is the best.

“As of now, tell all demons guarding the defense line that the use of sacrifices is prohibited. All those killed will be used in the field of loss. And collect all Jito-sama’s rare spirits. I will use that as a sacrifice too.”

“All right.”

“You also need to confuse the enemy. We have to confuse the fact that we are on the defensive.”

“What can I do?”

“The rear defense line of Ziple, the right line of defense that Kingelo is attacking. Compared to other places, these two battlefields are in the middle of a battle worthy of a battle. Send troops waiting there. It will counter-attack.”

It is difficult to cause confusion by sending troops to the right side of the front, which is no different from the one-sided slaughter of top-level superhumans.

If it wasn’t demon lords like Paellito or Ridolos Videluce, whoever they sent, they would all be killed by the superhumans of the alliance, including Jin and Luna. Even that is unavoidably necessary.

“When the right side and rear start to push back, the Bamal Alliance guys have no choice but to pay attention. There is nothing more tiring for them than for our army to break through Kingelo and Zipple’s fleet and go out on a royalties. That was already proven during the metastasis rift. They are most wary of harm to ordinary people. It means that the alliance should make them hesitate even for a moment to help Kingelo and Ziple.”

“I understand, Mr. Sakiel. Then we will prepare immediately.”

“Send Durga to Kingelo and Ragal to Ziffle. Please, we should expect them to die at the right time and be successfully sacrificed.”

* * *

The frontal third line of defense.

The superhumans of the Bamal Alliance were still breaking down the defense line with ease. Even though Jin was only playing a role of assisting in the battle between Murakan and the superhumans, the demons died helplessly.

‘At this rate, I’ll be able to safely penetrate the 3rd line of defense within today. And after a day of maintenance, it will be no problem to enter again.’

Jin carefully inspected the battlefield.

The 3rd line of defense was rather less important than the 1st and 2nd lines of the enemy. No Ragal-class demons appeared, and no demons using Jito’s flesh were seen.

{Jin.}

“Yes, Sister Luna.”

{It seems that we will match the breakthrough speed with you soon. But it’s strange, of course I thought more and more tough guys would come out. I can’t see the real guys.}

“Isn’t the right side too? It is the same here.” {Hmm,

did

he realize that there is no point in having too many defense lines and gather the main force with the inner defense line or the castle?}

{I’ll communicate again if there are any other special matters.}

When I ended communication with Luna, I got a call from the golden ship.

{count! Now, a report has come in that mighty demons are suddenly appearing on the right and rear defense lines.}

“Are you talking about Kingelo and Zipple? Paytel.”

{okay. It looks like they took out troops that should have been deployed on our side and sent them there. So it seems that the battle has become quite fierce, unlike ours.}

Jin felt a strange sense of incongruity.

‘It seemed like the defense was in a hurry, but suddenly a counterattack…? Do you think you can break through Kingelo and Zipple and even get a royalties? If you want to take civilians hostage by hitting royalties, it would be better to use a rift.’

On the battlefield that the Union was in charge of, the number of Demon Kings suddenly decreased and the use of flesh disappeared. Come to think of it, I didn’t see any demons trying to do something using the sacrifices.

‘I don’t know what it is, but it looks like Sakiel is preparing a trump card. Seeing as it doesn’t use flesh and dead people, it’s highly likely that it’s something that requires a large amount of sacrifice.’

If so, there must be only one reason why Sakiel attempted a counterattack from the right and rear defense lines.

‘I hope we will be tied up by supporting Kingelo and Zipple.’

Jin inferred Sakiel’s intentions at once. Of course, I’m not completely sure, but I couldn’t think of a better guess at the moment.

And at moments like this, Jin’s premonition was never wrong.

{Should we send some reinforcements to them?}

“No. I will not support. Rather, it would be better to put more pressure on our defensive line.”

{Then what if they get away with royalties? In particular, if you break through to Kingelo, it’s Union territory after that.}

“Kingelo looks like a Hogu, but he’s not weak. Not to mention the zip line. Unless even a Spear-type demon appears, it will never be easily penetrated. If a situation arises in which the demons break through Kingelo’s fleet and attack Inse, it is enough to immediately go to support with Mort and the Red Owl. Instead, we should be able to keep track of the war situation on Kingelo’s side in real time.”

{I see what you mean. I will send the Nameless King.}

“It would be better to do so.”

Jin then communicated with Dante. Dante said as soon as he picked up the communicator.

{Jin, is it my turn to participate?}

“Okay, I’ll send the Red Owl soon, so come to the battlefield. Your vacancy will be filled by our ancestors.”
