I’m the Demon King, but There Are Too Many Heroes

027. Tell me. Why did you do that to me?

Hillen Cargill regretted her arrogance.

100,000 gold is by no means a small amount of money. Ordinary people cannot be touched even in their lifetime, and not only the nobles, but also the average people.

The demons who do not value human money much less, the demon lords who have just descended in less than a year.

‘How to get 100,000 gold….’

I couldn’t believe it, but it was already spilled water.

A warrior is a chosen being. You gain dimensional power and protection, but in return there is also responsibility.

In particular, the promise of a hero has a strange power. It must be followed, otherwise, the protection and dignity of the hero will be lost.

It is the worst state that no hero wants.

“…what did you feed me?”

Apart from that, the marble that the Demon King put into his mouth had already entered his body.

The compulsion as a hero to keep his promises, and the embarrassment that he didn’t know that he would actually save money, combined, and he swallowed it involuntarily.

My brain was throbbing.

“It’s something that limits you. He’s called Armani’s Orb. It has several effects, but the main one is to prevent betrayal. Isn’t the relationship between the Demon King and the Heroes easy to trust without any restrictions?”

“You fed me that kind of dog?”

“Don’t be silly. It is difficult to install at first, but once established, Armani explodes when it senses danger.”

Will a brainless warrior survive or not?

“Will the protection of that handsome dimension be able to protect me? won’t it? I’m curious, but you can try it.”

you wouldn’t

“…what the hell do you want from me?”

Hillen was quick to give up. Especially if your life and money are at stake.

“You just have to live your life as a hero as usual. Let me help you soar to a higher place than anyone else.”

“You are a hero with the help of the Demon King. I think it would be better to be hunted.”

“Armani leaves no trace. Unless someone opens your head and removes your brain.”

Really?

Hillen never dared to try. If there was any hope of surviving even a little, as the Demon King said, he could not stake his life on the stake.

“···great.”

Eventually he admitted. that the situation was fucked up.

Like it or not, now I have to live with the Demon King.

“Then I want you to release me now.”

Let’s think positively.

You can cancel all 10,000 gold debts. And there was still a huge amount of money left of 90,000 gold.

What can you do with it?

You can lobby the nobility and run a business to seize more power and money. A wealthy movie is in front of you.

“But do you think you will be able to live your life as a warrior?”

“All those who came with you are in prison. I will turn them all into black knights and warlocks and make them obey your orders.”

“If I use magic, will I be caught?”

“If you want to live, you will take care of yourself when you stand in front of people.”

“exactly.”

After that, if they are found to be the Demon King’s dog, there will be some controversy, but there is no big problem. Because Hillen was a hero, and it is not common sense for a hero to become the demon king’s dog.

No one will ever doubt Hillen.

“Oh, have you ever caught anyone with brown hair and blue eyes?”

“It wasn’t just the two of them.”

“I’ll have to go and check it out myself.”

Hillen shook his head.

“Release. We are no longer business partners…

Hillen fell down with a dull sound. Berge put his feet back.

“Speak straight. They are not partners, but slaves and masters.”

“…I didn’t know you’d like that kind of play.”

“I don’t even want sincere loyalty. Whether you want it or not, you are bound to be my chess piece. But on the surface, I want you to do something that you are good at. Isn’t that what you’re good at?”

“…if you want, I’ll do it.”

Hillen put on a mask with a wry smile.

It wasn’t awkward. Because that’s what he always wore.

* * *

Bravery is a struggle.

No matter how good the words are or how much wealth is promised, in the end a fight will have to be made and someone will die.

And no one likes to risk their lives.

unless you are so desperate.

Aman Katrash, a knight who participated in the bravery and became a member of the bravery, was one of those desperate people.

He was a good knight, but he liked to drink and gamble. And unfortunately, there was no talent as good as swordsmanship in gambling.

I was kicked out of my house for gambling too much. He was able to become a knight because of his skills, but soon after, the nobleman he served abandoned him, saying that he could not be rewritten.

As a final acknowledgment, he became a free knight because he did not deprive him of his knighthood.

However, the huge debt remained the same, and he participated in the bravery as the last bastion of writing and suffering.

Even the target, Erzestra, endured.

It endured even when an avalanche occurred and the Fear Orcs attacked the monsters.

Even when there was no tower at the top, and when the warriors were divided, he did not run away.

Because he believed he would succeed. If you stay by Hillen Cargill’s side, you will surely be able to subdue the Demon King and enjoy wealth.

I never imagined that it would turn into a vain dream and a moment of nightmare like this.

“You have two options.”

He buried his head in a cold prison and waited for the day he would die. Then the demon king appeared in front of him.

“Or become a warlock or a black knight and become my faithful servant.”

“To keep our loyalty to humans and die on this spot.”

“Oh, I will never die easily. Do I have to pay the price for trespassing on the tower?”

creepy-

Aman Katrache’s spine cooled.

I know that kind smile is not just a smile.

because you have already experienced it. The Demon King has already killed all the heroes. A brutal execution was held in front of the crew.

to die like that?

As long as he is captured by the Demon King, he has no choice but to die. I knew it, but when it came to reality, I was terrified.

He was a knight, but he only wanted to pay off his debts and live in luxury. There was no sense of justice for subjugating evil for the sake of mankind or the continent in the first place.

Yet hesitating.

‘If you become a Black Knight, you are unconditionally caught.’

Maybe you’re lucky and you don’t get noticed right away. But he was a knight. He had to use his power for the rest of his life, and there were many heroes around him to watch over him.

“Long drag is not good for you. Receive mercy from the Demon King. That’s the only way to live.”

“…a hero?”

Aman’s dry lips parted.

It was Hillen Cargill. The hope of everyone who led the brave journey.

The pupils of the prisoners enlarged.

Why is he with the Demon King?

After a moment of doubt, his eyes met.

“This is the knight I was talking about.”

“Is it useful?”

“A man named Aman Katrash, the only heir of the Katrash family. The Katrache family runs the Golden Moon Top, so it’s a good way to roll your money.”

“The top of the golden moon?”

“Now, though the momentum is a bit sluggish, it was once one of the top five target groups in the Iasin Kingdom.”

“Why would such an author do the bravery?”

“Because he is a born child. He became so addicted to gambling and alcohol that he became a dog that neither his parents nor the nobles could recognize.”

Aman’s face reddened at the bitter accusation.

“My parents didn’t pay me, so I was dragged into debt and even participated in the heroic march, but the truth is, my father, Kruger Katrache, loves his children terribly. They’re secretly sending people to watch every move. Perhaps even now, deep down in his heart, he is open-minded and hoping to inherit the top.”

That’s because I’m a third-generation reader.

“Oh.”

“Anyway, you can leave the work to the vassals below, so it will be good to use it in moderation. I will confidently tell you that it will be a great strength to the Demon King.”

“Isn’t it easy for you to receive donations more justly and eat them?”

“I will not deny that.”

“So, what choice will you guys make?”

“·················ogue.”

He knew it was a question directed at him, but Aman could not easily answer it. In fact, I couldn’t quite follow the conversation between the Hero and the Demon King.

“What are you talking about now? Why is the Hero with the Demon King!”

“Isn’t it Chuck when you look at it? It seems that Aman-sama has a bit of a headache.”

“Yes?”

“Because I have decided to be on the side of the Demon King from now on.”

“Then why did the hero, Hillen-sama, become the Demon King’s subordinate?”

“Because I lost and I don’t want to end my life like this.”

Is the hero betraying humanity just for that reason?

One of the most praised warriors?

Instead of anger, Aman felt relief. It was comforting to know that a hero with enough power had similar thoughts to himself.

Even a great hero named Hillen is like that, but isn’t it natural for him to beg for his life?

“Are you really going to live?”

“I can live.”

“But if you become a Black Knight, you have no choice but to be discovered by the heroes…”

“Oh, don’t worry about that. You never have to worry about being caught even if others don’t know.”

Hillen laughed.

“I would suggest to the Demon Lord, but the Demon Lord needs Aman as a merchant rather than Aman as a knight. So I advise you to destroy the Auror Hall.”

“···········?”

what now…

“The Black Knight’s pact is engraved on the soul. So even if there is no Auror, even if the Auror Hall is broken, the contract will not be broken.”

“exactly. That way, irresponsible subordination would be possible.”

“It’s irresponsible subordination. It’s an odd expression, though. you’re right. You don’t even have to give me more magic. No one will tell the knight with the broken Aurorah to appear on the Auror, and if you are a father who cares deeply about his son, how will he react when his son returns with his Aurorhol broken?”

“Even now, I’ll take good care of you and tell you to calm down and take over the family.”

A twinkle appeared in the Demon King’s eyes.

“Oh no!”

“Ah man, that’s good for you too. If the Aurorhall is broken, no one will expect you as a knight, and if you don’t use your powers, you won’t be discovered as a black knight.”

Aman hurriedly waved his hand.

“But destroying the Auror Hall is…!”

“Unfortunately, you have no choice.”

“That is the case with the Great Demon Lord, Aman. Be sweet.”

Qwajik-

My stomach hurts.

* * *

Whether voluntarily or unwillingly, Hillen eventually decided to become the Demon King’s dog.

A lot of money and life. It was never a loss-making business.

But apart from that, there was a human that Hillen definitely wanted to meet. There was something I wanted to ask you when we met.

“Tell me. Why did you do that to me?”

“What?”

“I’ve been thinking about it a lot, but I really don’t know. Why are you on the side of the Demon King? Why did you oppose me for the sake of the Demon King and not me who came up like a dog to save you?”

if doesn’t exist The demon king’s wickedness was different from other demon kings, and he might have been defeated even if he wasn’t a princess.

However.

But really if.

If only the princess hadn’t confused him.

If it were, the opposite result would have been unfolding.

If that was the case, there would have been no need to become a dog while masturbating that it was no harm done.

“I got paid.”

The princess answered casually.

“If it’s a price…?”

“Alrose.”

It is an expensive elixir that is expensive to call. He also knows that knights and wizards are delighted by being able to collect pure mana. It is also valuable for research purposes.

At the same time, it’s not that big for the princess in front of her.

“If you’re a princess, can’t you get anything like that?”

If the target is a kingdom, it will be relatively small. Alrose was not expensive to call, but it was not too burdensome for the huge kingdom of Hilderan.

Did the king save the elixir to the Crown Princess of Hilderan’s Hope? If it were, she wouldn’t have been able to summon all the four spirits at such a young age. Even one is intermediate.

“But that doesn’t mean aloe vera isn’t precious. Even this is Mount Erzest.”

“It’s not even worth kicking yourself out of the opportunity to escape from the Demon Lord.”

“That’s right, if I wanted to get out of here, I would.”

“···········?”

did you hear me right?

The princess doesn’t want to leave the Demon King’s Tower?

“Not all princes and princesses like their kingdom.”

“But the princess…”

For a moment, he stopped.

If you are the most successful warrior in Hilderan, you will see and hear quite a lot.

And among them, there were some secrets of the royal family that ordinary people did not know.

“···okay.”

“Shh.”

Ernyan’s fine fingers covered Hillen’s mouth. Purple eyes drew a natural crescent moon.

“I don’t know what you know, but it would be better not to speak out about the royal family.”

“No one is listening anyway.”

“If you’re not careful, you’re always not careful.”

“A heavy mouth is one of the virtues of a good warrior.”

“Please, I hope Hillen is a good warrior.”

momentary silence. The chilly atmosphere ended when Ernyl broke the silence first.

“When I return, the kingdom will be in chaos.”

“I think so.”

It wasn’t just the king’s problem. Hillen was well aware of Hilderan’s obsession with the princess.

Aside from Ernyan’s actions, she was the steadfast heir to the throne, and that has been taken for granted. Since she has evaporated, even if there is a riot, she will fly a hundred times.

To stop that, I’ll try to organize a 2nd troop, but well. In the unprecedented situation in which the Demon King hid the tower, there would have been no warriors willing to go to war.

“If you ever meet Elena, please tell them that I’m fine. He’s going to worry a lot.”

“Are you talking about the 13th Princess?”

“yes.”

“I don’t know if we will meet, but if it does, I will tell you that. But will she believe me?”

You said you couldn’t find the tower, but the Crown Princess is doing well. Even a passing dog wouldn’t believe it.

“Mayar.”

“···········?”

“If you say it, you will believe it.”

“It’s like a secret only the two of you know. But there are more problems.”

“He has a heavy mouth. I will guarantee it.”

“If you say that, I understand.”

Although she betrayed herself by being locked up in the Demon King’s Tower, she was still the Crown Princess of Hilderan. The talent to show is so overwhelming that other princes and princesses cannot even dare to dare.

He judged that it would be good to make a positive relationship with someone who has a strong chance of becoming a king.

“Goodbye then.”

“Oh, maybe.”

“···········?”

“Did the princess on the first floor brought you?”

“no. The Demon King brought him directly from the Dwarf Kingdom. My name is Logger Friedree.”

“…that traitorous dwarf is Logger Friedree?”

The princess went up her own floor without answering. Hillen, who was left alone, laughed.

“No, why would a Dwarf like that…”

the devil?

“under···.”

I don’t know why, but one thing is certain.

The fact that this brave act was nothing like that failure was planned from the beginning.

“Defeated.”

Completely lost to the Demon King.

* * *

“We have never discovered the Demon King’s Tower from the beginning. Do you know?”

“Yes.”

It was quite funny to see the Black Knights and Warlocks nodding their heads enthusiastically.

Those who shouted to defeat the Demon King are preparing to be released into the world as the Demon King’s dogs.

It doesn’t sound like a fun play at all.

But Hillen had no right to curse them. He was the first to decide to become the Demon King’s dog. He was also the one who had greater greed and greed than them.

And it was his plight that he had to use them to restore the half-broken wing.

“Let’s go down!”

“It is the name of the Demon King. We protect you.”

They were escorted by Ful Orcs, led by Crutu.

For the sake of reality, the members of the Brave Squad who could not eat or sleep well were exhausted, and all but Hillen were highly likely to die if they just went down.

And there were also elves and Granada.

“I didn’t know if the noble elf would stand on the side of the Demon King, but now I am on the same side again, so please take care of it.”

“That’s not what a hero who sacrificed an elf and tried to run away would say.”

“Your words and deeds make me doubt that you are an elf. You have played well so far.”

“Aren’t you the one who is good at acting, not me?”

The warrior and the elf growled.

The fact that the elves were the subordinates of the Demon King.

The fact that the hero tried to escape by sacrificing himself.

A gap that cannot be narrowed has been created between the two.

“Be quiet, both of you. depart.”

“Shut up, you filthy orc bastard.”

“A mere orc fluttering in front of me. If it wasn’t for the Demon King’s subordinate, I would have pulled out his tongue right away.”

It was three, not two.

“It’s good.”

“If you really think that way, the Demon Lord might be Dongtae with rotten eyes.”

“I hate you, but I have to sympathize with you.”

“Dear the Demon King! Demon Lord, give me an order!”

“Go down.”

After many twists and turns, the warriors descended.

“Then go well. Elf Granada-sama who does not know the virtues of an elf.”

“Now that I see, a hero like you is really childish.”

After arriving at Horton Walk, Hillen and the Braves went straight to another place through the Dimensional Movement Jin. However, Granada remained in Horton Walk to carry out the orders of the Demon King.

and.

“Leader···? Were you alive?”

He reunited with the Red Hawk mercenaries he thought were dead.

“Damn it.”

They didn’t hurt as much as a power nail.
