Contract and the Demon King

>After the destruction of the military headquarters in Karal, the command and operation of the army fell into a paralyzed state for a time1,.welcome to read

Although at the beginning of its establishment, the headquarters considered that the pterosaurs might enter the interior for a direct attack, and prepared many related precautions and escape measures, but like this time, even the outermost protective cover was not breached. It is estimated that even the designers never thought of such a direct impact of force when they designed the sketch of the headquarters.

Therefore, effective measures were not taken... To be precise, the headquarters, which had no extra wings to take effective measures to protect the outermost shield, naturally fell into a half-destroyed state under the direct hit of a huge fireball, with heavy casualties1.

Even so, there was no time to mourn the dead.

In addition to the victims who were directly swallowed by the pitch-black fireball in the first blow, some people survived because they deployed emergency wingsuits in time and were trapped in the collapsed building. Therefore, Joe led his men through the emergency escape route After leaving, Leaving began to direct its rescue work, striving to rescue the survivors from the ruins of the "former headquarters" as soon as possible.

As for the culprit that caused all this—the black-haired demon who threw the black fireball, the military naturally did not relax. After the "three-person group" left the city with a high profile, it sent nearly half of its troops to the "border" to take precautions. For work, I can't wait to split one person into three people-this is roughly the situation in the city.

Naturally, the martial arts tournament must be suspended immediately, and the city has issued a martial law order, prohibiting ordinary citizens from traveling without authorization.It's as if not even a mosquito can escape the eyes of the army.

That's right.It's just "like".

"This...here it is."

The female soldier suppressed the trembling of her body and pointed to the moving seven-story building in front of her.

Standing beside her, the black-haired ponytail girl in the same military uniform as the female soldier did not reply, but began to observe the building standing in the distance where the target person might be.

- Well... so scary!

If it wasn't for the dangerous collar around her neck, she would definitely flee here immediately, and it would be best to stay away from this terrifying girl, and never see her again in this life.

However, this collar, which looks like an ornament but is actually very dangerous, completely blocks this possibility.

"Then... well, can I go?"

Even if the hope is very weak, the female soldier still holds a glimmer of hope and asks 1,.

"Not yet."

Andos replied without hesitation.

"It's not yet confirmed whether this is the headquarters. Even if it is, if you are let go now, the things I'm here will be exposed at once."

"No... no, I will keep it safe..."

"It goes without saying that you can keep secrets. You're not a three-year-old kid."

The hopeless request was dismissed—even so, the female soldier still had no choice but to let the "violent woman" hold her life firmly, let alone resist with her life.

As for things like sacrificing their lives to smash the conspiracy of criminals with evil intentions against the city—the female soldier shook her head in her heart, she had just joined the army, and she would never put such thoughts that only a few people would have into action. , let alone die here at such a young age.

"Compared to this kind of trivial matter, is what you said just now true? The legion commander is currently missing, and only the bastard man who is the chief of staff is directing the dispatch?"

While naturally observing the surrounding environment, Andos asked questions in a voice that only the two of them could hear—just in case.Andos set up the magic for concealment when he came out of the tent, and what the two said to each other, only the target two could hear.

But the female soldier obviously didn't know this layer of precautionary measures. After hearing that Andos dared to say such words in such a place, she was obviously taken aback. She glanced around in a panic to confirm that no one was there. After hearing it, he answered with a mosquito-like voice.

"The commander of the legion seems to have something urgent, so the army is currently under the command of the chief of staff..."

"Well, by the way, this collar is also equipped with lie detection magic, as long as it is confirmed to be a lie1, you will be directly roasted by the fire after 30 seconds."

"Eh?!"

The fact that she suddenly learned made the female soldier exclaim and attracted the attention of two soldiers in the distance, but it seemed that there was no sign of coming to stop them from asking.

——It seems that what you say is true.

After observing the female soldier's reaction, Andos quickly came to a conclusion.But the female soldier, who found that her current situation was even more dangerous, had the urge to just faint.

Just a month after graduating from the military academy, he was sent to repair the wingsuits. He thought there should be no problem——he glanced at the "violent woman" walking beside him.The female soldier began to regret it.

If I had known this was the case, I wouldn't have said that everything was focused on academics, just get a boyfriend first and then talk about it.

"Wait a minute. Where's your pass?"

What interrupted the female soldier's thoughts was a routine inquiry - raising her head, she found a fully armed soldier standing in front of her.

"Mine is here."

The female soldier fumbled in her pocket, and quickly took out her ID from the pocket.

The moment the female soldier handed out the certificate, Andos glanced at it with subtle movements, and then inserted his right hand into his pocket seemingly carelessly while the soldier was checking the certificate.

"Well, no problem, hard work."

After the identification, the soldier relaxed his vigilant attitude, and then turned his gaze to Andos who was standing beside him.

Andos pulled out what he needed from his pocket—a piece of white paper that was folded.

——It's over 1,!

The female soldier's nerves, which had already been tense due to the sudden inspection by the soldiers, could no longer bear the pressure, and she began to scream before she was about to collapse... I thought that since this violent woman had the guts to invade the temporary headquarters, she still had a calm and natural expression , then there must be preparations before this.

I really didn't expect that what I took out would be blank paper.The female soldier can even imagine that the two of them are surrounded by soldiers.And she was arrested as an accomplice of "betrayal of the city" after the violent woman was caught——

"Well, no problem, hard work."

"Eh?"

Ignoring the stunned expression of the female soldier beside him, Andos took the blank paper handed over by the soldier and put it back in his pocket.

Everything was so natural, so natural that the female soldier thought she had just seen a hallucination, and that thing was not a blank piece of paper, but a real certificate.

"What are you doing there? Quickly lead me the way."

"Uh, but just now...eh?"

"It's just an illusion."

Even Andos, who was wearing this military uniform, was just an illusion, said it as a matter of course—even if he is not good at those high-destructive magics that look good, strong and cool, but this kind of magic can greatly reduce the difficulty by narrowing the target area. of magic.Even she is able to grasp part of it.

As one of the few elites who survived to the end of the former Moragos unit, she felt that it was natural to be able to do this level of things. On the contrary, the enemy's requirements for soldiers were so low that she felt a little speechless.

"Eh... eh?"

"You don't need to know this. You just need to take me where I want to go."

Andos pointed at his neck—there was no decoration there, but this action made the female soldier shrug his shoulders.

"And you don't have to be afraid, the conversation between us has been encrypted with concealment and magic, and outsiders can't hear it at all."

Of course, it would be a different matter if there was someone who was more accomplished than her in black magic, but in this city where there was nothing in black magic, she didn't think anyone could do it.

"I know... I know, but relatively, you will let me go."

Even knowing that this kind of verbal agreement is meaningless at this time, it is better to say that the probability of her "heroic sacrifice" is relatively high...but before going further.The young female soldier asked with a glimmer of hope.

In this regard, Andos also quickly responded.

"Just do what I say, and I'll let you go."

——thanks to that kind bastard Your Highness

If she was alone, then she probably wouldn't abide by this verbal agreement and kill the other party after she was useless, but if she did this, His Highness who was waiting for her to come back would definitely not be happy.

Even though he killed quite a few enemies yesterday, if it could be avoided, he would probably still show mercy—especially this kind of young, beautiful, and pitiful-looking girl.

"that……"

Rather than being good at observation, it's more like a sixth sense—feeling that the eyes of the girl with black hair and ponytail suddenly became dangerous.The female soldier shrank back, but froze in place after realizing that she couldn't stay away.

"Be natural, it will be suspicious."

"I'm... really sorry 1,!"

The female soldier quickly bowed and apologized, but this attitude of treating the other party as a scourge made Andos feel a little uncomfortable.

"I've said it all, let me be natural."

"Yes Yes……"

Andos sighed inwardly.Not to mention the possibility of her hallucinatory magic being seen through, given the current state of this female soldier.It is estimated that they will be stopped before entering the door.

"Hey, did you hear that?"

Inserted suddenly... To be precise, the voice from a distance caught Andos' attention.Those who spoke were two soldiers who were 200 meters away—this distance is not an obstacle at all for high-ranking demons.

"I heard that the leader of the legion seems to have fled to a safe place before the headquarters collapsed, and now he doesn't know where..."

--Um?

Andos raised his eyebrows. The information given by the two soldiers was similar to that given by the female soldier, but the last part made people feel a little concerned.

"Hi, little girl."

"Little girl?"

The female soldier paused for two seconds, and then realized that the girl with ponytail who looked younger than her just now was calling her.

"I just heard something interesting, so I want to ask you."

Ignoring the confusion on the female soldier's face, Andos continued to ask.

"Is it true that those monsters called winged beasts are approaching this city?" (To be continued...)
