Re:Zero: Starting from the Great Transformation

The so-called first generation Sword God is such a powerful existence.

"Oh, this is really..."

Al frowned as he looked at the broken sword in his hand.

The sword in his hand was not an ordinary iron weapon.

Although it is not a magic sword, it is also made by a skilled craftsman.

This level of sophistication pales in comparison to the sharpness of the Dragon King Sword.

He looked Ron up and down.

If he had a second sword, he didn't think he would lose to Ron. In the brief collision just now, he had already understood the secret of Ron's moves. There was no second chance.

But unfortunately, he also didn't have a second chance.

What should I do now?

Just as Al was thinking about his next move, Ron suddenly shook his wrist slightly.

The exaggerated golden giant sword suddenly disappeared.

"Let's just fight here."

Ron said lightly.

"Oh? You don't want to fight anymore? Now that I don't have a sword, I'm no match for you."

Al asked doubtfully.

Ron shook his head.

"I only managed to gain a slight advantage with my weapon. If we continue, the end result will be nothing more than an unfair victory. Rather than that, I think it's better to leave the outcome for another time."

"is this okay?"

Al touched his chin and raised his brow slightly.

"While I'm human, I'm Laplace's subordinate. Is it really okay if you let me go?"

"A person like you is actually willing to be inferior to others?"

"It's just that I made a bet with him before."

Al smiled.

When his swordsmanship reached its peak, he roamed the roads challenging masters, hoping to prove the limits of his swordsmanship.

As a result, no one could match him and he won every battle.

Later, he accidentally heard that the Demon God Laplace of the Demon Continent was unparalleled in the world, hailed as the pinnacle of the era and an insurmountable peak. He then became interested in challenging Laplace like those humans who called themselves heroes.

Laplace had heard of Al's name a long time ago.

There was a fledgling human swordsman who killed many skilled demons and was hunted down everywhere.

However, Laplace was fearless of any challenger. Facing Al's challenge, many demons believed they should capture him immediately, declare their victory to the entire army, and avenge their previous defeat.

Laplace said he was willing to make a bet with Al.

The loser must obey the winner.

The outcome of that battle couldn't be clearer.

"you lose?"

Ron asked.

"Haha, he is immortal after all."

Al couldn't help but laugh.

His swordsmanship is truly unparalleled in the world, and even the demon god Laplace is no match for him.

However, fighting is never just about swordsmanship. Laplace's enormous magical power, his all-encompassing magic, centuries of experienced combat techniques, and his immortality make it impossible for Al to kill him.

In the end, he was defeated due to exhaustion.

No matter how you lose, you lose.

Al accepted the bet and joined the Demon Army.

"In that case, make a pact with me."

Ron said.

"Until you challenge me again and truly defeat me, you will not serve the Demon God Laplace again. Today's matter ends here. I will not attack the Spelrud warrior group again."

"Is that so... Well, that's fine. I've repaid Laplace's debt."

Al nodded slightly and agreed with Ron.

The two looked at each other and smiled, understanding each other tacitly.

Although this operation did not free Rijerudo from Laplace's control, it did not mean that it was a bad thing. Ron had already made a double plan. Even if he failed to save the Spelrudo warrior group now, he still had another chance.

More importantly, it can prevent the Sword God Al from working for Laplace.

From this point of view, it can be said that the harvest is quite fruitful.

……

……

And just as Ron was blocking the Spelud warrior group.

the other side.

The remnants of the defeated army from the northern continent, led by Beishen and others, continued their journey towards the upper jaw of the red dragon.

Bei Shen summoned the magicians in the team and temporarily dispelled the wind and snow in the area ahead, making the team's progress faster.

This move naturally made Gemis confused.

Kalman had clearly opposed dispersing the snow and wind before, but now he did the opposite.

Confused, he asked his sister Miggs and found out what had happened before.

A brave man who claimed to be from the future volunteered to go and intercept the Spelud warrior group - this news was really shocking. You have to know that they were the Spelud warrior group, and each of them had the strength to fight a thousand men. Even the North God did not dare to say that he could intercept them head-on, and could only move around to delay time.

Rather, even if the legendary hero Ars was resurrected, it would be impossible to do it, right?

However, Kalman had great confidence in the man he had only met once.

If you ask him why, he can't tell you.

The group galloped onward for more than ten days, finally reaching the Jaw of the Red Dragon. From the Jaw of the Red Dragon, through the No Man's Land forest, they arrived at the border fortress of the Asura Kingdom, the city of Nikaro.

This city is the northernmost part of the Kingdom of Asura.

In the past, there were a few paths through the Red Dragon Mountains that people could walk on, but after Laplace released a large number of red dragons, this city became the only communication channel between the Central Continent and the Northern Continent.

The group arrived at the fortress gate exhausted.

The soldiers guarding the city saw the crowd coming from afar and quickly closed the city gates. They stood high on the city wall and asked:

"Who is coming from below!"

"I am Kalman, the Northern God. I am accompanied by all the heroes who fought against the Demon God's army in the northern continent. Please tell the city lord to open the city gates and allow us to enter the city to rest for a while and discuss how to stop the Demon God's army!"

"Please, please wait a moment!"

Upon hearing this, the soldiers guarding the city did not dare to delay and hurried forward to report.

The city lord who learned about this also knew that it was a serious matter.

Since Laplace declared war on humanity, the southern part of the Central Continent had first become the target of Laplace's invasion. Under Laplace's extraordinary tactical command and the bravery of the demon soldiers, the entire southern part of the Central Continent, from the Red Dragon's jaws eastward, almost fell.

However, many nobles of the Asura Kingdom did not understand the principle of "the lips and teeth are cold".

He scoffed at the king's decision to send troops to support the East.

Even many nobles thought that the Demon Army had not invaded the land of the Asura Kingdom, so what did it have to do with them?

If the current king had not acted decisively, led the princes in person to fight, and forced the nobles to contribute manpower, money and effort, the entire Asura Kingdom would probably still be indulging in false peace and prosperity.

Today, the entire eastern part of the Central Continent has become a mess.

The Northern Continent served as a natural buffer zone, buying the Asura Kingdom considerable time. Now that the Northern Continent had completely fallen, it meant that the Asura Kingdom would have to contend with both northern and southern battlefields simultaneously.

This war, which is far more intense than the previous two wars between humans and demons, is about to enter the final white-hot stage.

Brave Chapter: 188, The Moment of Life and Death

The people who came from the northern continent were quickly arranged accommodation by the city lord.

When you are exposed to the elements, you have to take a break.

As for Kalman, he took Gemis and Migs to the City Lord's Mansion for discussion.

……

……

“I didn’t expect the situation to have reached this point.”

After listening to the city lord's description of the current situation, Kalman's brows were already furrowed.

The Kingdom of Asura is the oldest and largest country in human history, and has been like this since the First War between Humans and Demons.

It is impossible to occupy the most fertile land in the world for such a long time without a certain level of strength.

So Kalman believed that as long as he retreated to the Kingdom of Asura, he would be temporarily safe.

After that, we just need to inform the king of the current situation in the northern continent and persuade him to send troops north to fight against the Demon King's army. With the vast territory and abundant resources of the Asura Kingdom, it may be possible to turn the declining situation around.

however……

The situation was far more serious than Kalman had imagined.

Since Laplace declared war, the southern part of the Central Continent has been invaded on a large scale. The many scattered small countries are simply unable to gather enough troops to fight against the Demon Army. Wherever the Demon Army goes, it can almost be said that it has no obstruction.

Fortunately, the current Dragon God Urpe happened to be active as an adventurer in the southern part of the Central Continent.

After realizing the intentions of the Demon Army, the Dragon God Urpe called on many adventurers active in the east to work together to form a force to fight against the Demon Army, temporarily delaying the Demon Army's invasion intentions.

In addition to the Dragon God Urpe, the Ankylosaur Pergius is also active.

He led his familiars to set up long-distance transfer magic circles all over the world, and delivered battlefield news to the Kingdom of Asura in a timely manner.

After hearing the news, the king of Asura Kingdom immediately decided to send troops to aid the east.

However, many nobles disagreed with this.

They indulged in the former glory and false peace of the Asura Kingdom, and only cared about singing, dancing, drinking and having fun.

As for the king's decision to send troops to the east, both of them were absent-minded and did not take it seriously at all.

The king was furious and, against all odds, led the army himself.

This forced many nobles to mobilize.

In this way, the offensive of the Demon Army was finally blocked outside the border of the Asura Kingdom. Both sides continued to deploy troops, and for a while the battlefield was in a stalemate.

However, no one expected that the demon Laplace had other intentions.

After confirming that all the troops of the Asura Kingdom were deployed to the eastern battlefield, he ordered many of his elite troops to the battlefield in the northern continent.

The Sperud warrior group is just a part of it.

More troops were deployed, including some that were no less powerful than the Warrior Corps. There was even a Demon King who was famous in the Demon Continent and personally led his troops to attack at an extremely terrifying speed, plunging the entire northern continent into war.

In fact, the Kingdom of Asura had already known about the situation in the northern continent long before Kalman arrived.

However, the eastern front was in a critical stage at that time, and neither supplies nor manpower could be supported to the northern continent. Therefore, they could only rely on the temporary team formed by Kalman and others to delay time.

Until now, the northern continental front has collapsed.

"..."

After learning the whole situation, Kalman's face instantly became extremely gloomy.

Germis and Miggs also realized that the situation was not good.

I originally thought that the Asura Kingdom just didn't take the Demon Army seriously, so it was reluctant to send troops to the northern continent. I thought that as long as the enemy reached their doorstep, they would have to send troops no matter what.
