I Became the Heavenly Demon of the Academy

There’s more on the western front (3)

The reason why the center, including Schultz Academy, is enjoying peace even though war is raging day after day in the western part of the continent.

It was simple.

This is because the continent is so vast.

Most of the land exists only in the northern hemisphere.

It was a continent that stretched as long as the continent of Eurasia.

Even in terms of area, it was larger than the Eurasian continent.

Of course, from the Schulz Academy in the center of the continent to the west where the war broke out, he had to pass an enormous distance.

Sometimes by sword flight, sometimes by carriage, sometimes by light air.

Because each of them headed west according to the situation.

The peaceful scenery gradually disappeared and the smell of war began to emerge.

In order to recover the exhausted energy, I rode on the back of the wagon for a while and moved west.

“What are you going west for, brother? From the looks of it, he looks like a son of an aristocrat…”

A man with an impressive scar across his eyes, sitting across from me, spoke up.

“There is only one reason to go west in this situation.”

“hmm. Are you thinking of making a mark on the battlefield? From what I can see, it seems that he is not the firstborn.”

Most of the nobility in this world chose the eldest son’s inheritance. Of course, the sons of nobles who did not inherit the estate had no choice but to find their way to live.

Being awarded a title for meritorious work in the war was something that those with ambition should stare at.

“I intend to end the war altogether.”

“Heh heh heh! Certainly, the bigger the ambition, the better. I was once too.”

Perhaps taking my words as a joke, the man laughed at the carriage leaving.

“Are you a mercenary?”

It was obvious from the huge ax next to him or the chain mail wrapped around his body.

“exactly. People like us are like bupyeongcho, looking for war. The Imperial Army is throwing money right now.”

Even with just these mercenaries, well over 100,000 had already been put into the Western Front, so it was no exaggeration to say that they were literally throwing money.

While riding in the wagon, I felt an acrid burnt smell somewhere.

“Is that…?”

The mercenary man looked around curiously.

“It’s a village that has been attacked by a special ops unit.”

In order to divert the attention and power of the Imperial Army, the Western Union was conducting a massive terror attack on the frontlines and adjacent rear villages.

An evacuation order was issued to villages in a difficult position to protect, but where would the people of these remote villages, who struggle to live day by day, abandon their homes and go?

In the end, there were quite a few villages that were attacked by werewolves or vampires.

The werewolves swept through the village, and all the flesh was eaten away, leaving only white bones.

The village that the vampires attacked was overflowing with blood-sucked ghouls.

Judging from the smoke still coming out, it seemed that the Imperial Army had come and disposed of and incinerated the villagers who had turned into ghouls.

“If it’s a non-human… By any chance, are you a werewolf or a vampire?”

“okay.”

“I never thought that such a thing would actually happen… I’ve heard of it.”

As if he had only heard rumors, the mercenary man had a somewhat shocked expression.

“If you go to the front, you’ll get tired of seeing it.”

“How the hell do you know that, brother?”

“I came here to deal with that, so I have to know.”

blood scent.

As he spoke, he felt the slight scent of blood on the tip of his nose.

Sreureung-

“Brother?”

Seeing that I suddenly drew my sword, the man was startled.

He immediately left the wagon and pursued the place where he could feel the scent of blood.

Looking at it with a sense of humor, there was a sign that was lighter than a human trying to leave the area.

bang-!

After going through the forest in a straight line, I finally encountered things that smelled like blood.

As the distance narrowed to a close distance, they stopped running and glared at me with shining eyes, as if they were aware of my existence.

“It was you guys.”

Vampires who attacked the village.

I thought they had already run away because the imperial army had incinerated the ghouls, but they were closer than I thought.

“I don’t know how you found us, but consider yourself unlucky. kid.”

A man clad in something like a black bloody robe sneered at him, exposing his sharp fangs.

Unlike Magi, a red energy rose like a haze, and the man raised his spirits.

abruptly-

Of course, it didn’t mean much.

“…uh?”

Two bulging eyes.

Unable to even scream, the man’s neck separated from his torso and he fell to the ground.

thump-

The other vampires around him did the same.

I waited for a while, thinking that I wouldn’t die even if I was decapitated like a warlock.

The bodies of the vampires began to scatter like ashes.

Contrary to the legend, it seemed that there was no difficulty in operating under the bright sun.

“Brother, where did you fly so far?”

Upon returning to the carriage, the man asked with a curious expression.

“I saw a vampire nearby, so I took care of it.”

“Huh… that’s great.”

It was clear what he was thinking. To think of it as mere bluffing, the speed at which I disappeared from sight would have seemed like magic from the man’s point of view.

I can’t help but believe

The burned village and the vampire.

I definitely felt that I was getting close to the battlefield.

As guided by the Imperial Secret Intelligence Service, we arrived near the mansion where Marshal Albrecht, commander of the Western Front’s field army, is staying.

“welcome. Imperial Secret Intelligence Service Enforcer, Prince Karl, is that right?”

“Yes, that’s right.”

The chief of staff, Viscount Detlef, came out ahead and greeted me politely.

In order to enter the mansion, which was no different from the general headquarters of the Western Front, they had to pass through several strict guard nets.

Apparently, all sorts of special operations units sent by the Western Union were rampaging in the rear, so it seemed that they were on such a strict alert.

“Welcome.”

When I entered the commandant’s office, Marshal Albrecht, who had been watching the Western map carefully, looked me over slowly and greeted me.

Despite his not-too-tall stature and his middle-aged age, he was still impressive with his beautiful appearance and red cloak.

“hello. This is Karl von Bernstein.”

“Are you the hero of the Great Northern War? It had a lot of pretty flashy nicknames attached to it.”

There was a strong sense of doubt in Marquis Albrecht’s gaze.

“For now, it’s called that.”

From my point of view, they were all names that I didn’t like.

“What are you doing here? It seems that the imperial army on the western front did nothing wrong enough that the executive of the Imperial Secret Intelligence Service came out for internal inspection.”

It seemed that he was seriously mistaken.

Of course, there was plenty of room for that kind of thinking.

It was quite an issue among the nobles that I slapped the head of Imperial White Baldeck at once.

It wouldn’t be strange if he knew at least Marquis Albrecht, who belonged to a fairly high-ranking noble in the empire.

“I am not here for internal inspection. It’s not like I received a separate order from the Imperial Secret Intelligence Service.”

“Then what brought you to the far West?”

“I am here to end the war.”

Upon hearing my words, Marquis Albrecht’s eyes flashed slightly.

“I heard about the command of the executive of the Imperial Secret Intelligence Service. That you are the hero who ended the Great Northern War. But the Western Front… is different in every way.”

Marquis Albrecht sighed deeply and turned his gaze to the conduction.

“I already know the situation on the Western Front through the intelligence department.”

“…I don’t know when the enemy information was received. Look here.”

With his baton drawn, Marquis Albrecht pointed at the center of the Western Front.

“In the meantime, you’ve hit the inside of the Calvados Federation.”

The information I received from the Secret Intelligence Service was limited to the capture of Rhodes.

“Yes. We had heroes on our side too. Wallenstein has made his way into the heart of the Calvados Commonwealth.”

“if it goes like this….”

As long as the imperial army had hit even the Calvados Federation, the wide west would be split up and down.

“There are only 200,000 troops put into Calvados. Another 200,000 troops suppressing the kingdom of Lesavik and Andra in the southwest, and the Duchy of Warsaw. Even if you combine these two, that’s 400,000 troops.”

“Yes, the size of the force has been reported.”

It certainly wasn’t the normal size. I’ve seen it all the way here, but even now, troops are being recruited endlessly and supplemented with frontlines.

“In addition, 250,000 were invested to suppress the Almeria Republic in the northwest, the Grand Duchy of Toledo, the Kingdom of Gotland, and the Kingdom of Kalmar. The current situation in the West is sluggish even after this.”

This is why I want to end the war.

So many people were dying that they were close to madness.

The nameless mercenary I saw on the way was hard enough to last for a month.

Even an empire could not sustain a war of this scale for long.

The countries of the Western Union, who were fighting for destruction, were even more so.

“Could you provide information focusing on the worst-case scenario?”

“…are you serious?”

“yes. Especially in areas where non-human units are active.”

The war had to end as quickly as possible.

At this rate, even if the empire won in a war of attrition, it was clear that Pyrrhus would win.

Humans cannot grow overnight.

In the meantime, the high-quality manpower who was dying was even more so.

When I heard the sound of destruction, I felt that all of this was a waste.

“The kingdoms of the Northwest are not as active in warfare as I thought. The kingdoms of the Southwest are different. They are literally risking the fate of the country, squeezing everything out and sending it to the front.”

The troops were more deployed in the Northwest, but this was probably due to the greater power of the Northwest countries themselves.

“Resavik or Andra?”

“Yes. After the destruction of the Nantes Fortress, Lesavik is really eager to recruit and send out even young boys, and Andra is the same. The most sightings of non-human units are in the Andhra Kingdom. The situation in the Duchy of Warsaw, which is at the rear, is a bit better, but it’s only a matter of time here.”

The evangelist in the commander’s office had quite detailed information.

In the case of the northwest, the fighting itself was less likely due to the cold weather and rugged terrain.

Most of the area is flat.

The weather itself is also on the warm side, and the saying that it was literally five minutes before the opening matched perfectly.

From noble mtl dot com

Just looking at the location of the units, they were so entangled with each other that they couldn’t be properly organized.

“Who is the commander in charge of the Andra side?”

“It’s Count Manstein. We are currently on the offensive in the direction of Othvien. Only the troops who have already been attacked there are over.”

“Let’s start with Andra. Information please.”

War, after all, was like eating land. If you go through each one, one day it will end.

First of all, it was the first thing to deal with the most urgent place.

The center seems to be well taken care of by the hero of the Western Front.

“…I see. stay for a while and go I will send my information to the room you are staying in.”

It was still a dubious look, but for me, it was enough to receive the information I needed anyway.

“thank you.”

* * *

As the saying goes, it was the fiercest campaign on the Western Front.

Even the road to Haute Bien, where Count Manstein was located, was so terrible that ordinary people could not bear it.

The stench of corpses strewn all over the roadside made my nose go numb.

Crows, wild beasts, small monsters, etc., aiming for the flesh of dead humans.

Everywhere I went, only the bleak feeling was repeated.

Chaeng Chaeng-

While running fast using light air, a scream echoed with the sound of metal clashing in the distance.

As a result, I immediately ran to find the epicenter of the sound.

Hundreds of humans witnessed the gruesome sight of being trampled and biting at the nape of the neck by dozens of transformed werewolves.
