The Demon King's Reincarnation Starts a New Life From Zero
V2 Chapter 21 is Not My Subordinate
In the westernmost part of the Zadark Kingdom, the [Beach Invasion], there were two groups.
On one hand, there was Western General Dreigo and the western army that was under his command.
Currently, they were busy moving and erecting temporary buildings.
On the other hand, there were thirty Metalios who descended from the tattered giant ship floating in the sea.
There were twenty men and ten women.
With the help of Norm who has a similar appearance to Metalio, the soldiers of the western army work while making complex faces.
“...... Is this everyone?”
"Yes." Yeah."
Borkio answered Dreigo's question.
Among the Metalio who were on board, the number of people who had sustained injuries until they could not move were five men, and the number of people who suffer from the disease is two men and four women with a total of six sick people. Moreover, there seemed to be a large number of people who suffered minor injuries.
Those unable to move due to injuries or illness were brought to the temporary building by the soldiers of the western army.
Inside the building, a blanket that had been prepared was brought in from a nearby fortress. Since the fortress had been cleared every few days through Dreigo's thorough leadership, they were probably much more pleasant than a ship bed.
“Mr Dreigo!”
"What's that?"
Dreigo glanced at the soldier who was running with a panicked look.
“V ..... Va, Mr Varvatos!”
"……I get it."
The overly nervous and astonished warrior could not let out his voice, but Dreigo guessed the situation.
“Bring them here.”
“No, it is not necessary.”
“Yahho ”
The ones who came walking were Demon King Varvatos, and Sechste's advisor who protected the library.
Seeing the figure of the Demon King coming to a place like this, one could tell that anxiety was spreading among the soldiers of the western army.
“So the mentioned Metalios ..... ahh, so they.”
“A, are you ..... Demon King?”
Varvatos nodded at Borkio who had a dumbfounded look.
“Yes, I'm Demon King Varvatos.”
“I, I understand. I'm the captain, Borkio.”
After nodding at Borkio's self-introduction, Varvatos continued his words.
“I understand. So, can you also tell me your noble title and your role in St. Kingdoms. Altlis?”
“!”
Seeing the condition of Borkio who was very surprised, Varvatos sighed.
Thinking “there's no way I won't think about it, he'll try to ignore it", he felt it was just a problem.
“Let's stop that worthless bargaining tactic. I'm fed up with that kind of stuff.”
“Y, yes ...... M, sorry about that.”
“My title is viscount. The Kingdom of St. Altlis ..... I act as a resident diplomat of the Cylus Empire.”
“I understand. Thinking a diplomat would run away ..... Did Demi-Human's denial argument get that bad?”
“How much do you know ....”.
Shaking his head looking tired, Borkio sighed.
It was information that Varvatos had just learned on the territory of mankind, but from Borkio's point of view, it seemed that Varvatos was supposed to have extensive knowledge.
“Of course there is that too. Or rather, the voices of the people serving the God of Life had become too powerful. It was a situation where it would not be strange if a war with the Jiol Forest Kingdom broke out at any time.”
“But, what does that have to do with the Cylus Empire? The percentage of Metalio in Jiol Forest Kingdom is not high.”
“'Of course we are related. The root is Demi-Human's rejection argument. The voices said that the Cylus Empire should ally with the Jiol Forest Kingdom.”
Most likely, even within the St. Empire. Altlis, the rumor "isn't the Cylus Empire going to ally with the Jiol Forest Kingdom" might be circulating.
“It cannot be decided how the Cylus Empire will move. Altlis smelled too much like a looming war. So it was decided that we would evacuate for a while.”
And as a result of that, Borkio's group was destroyed.
“Why don't you use the land route?”
“That's because the land route has the risk of bandits. And the sea route doesn't have that. If we continue along the continent, there should be no problem.”
“Not supposed, yes.”
“Yes. If it wasn't for those people ...... If that Alva doesn't come out, then no matter how sudden the storm is, we won't go into the [Farthest Sea].”
Hearing the word “Alva”, Varvatos' eyebrows twitch.
“Ahh, no. Sorry if it hurt your feelings. Sorry to bother your friends. But even we receive damage from them. So for that part ....”
“They are not friends.”
Varvatos interrupts Borkio's words and says that.
"Aah?"
“Alva is not my subordinate, nor are they friends. They're a group that only exists in your continent.”
“Eh. What the hell are you saying? It's Monster, right?”
“They are Monsters, yes.”
“And you ...... Demon King, right?”
“Yes, but Alva is not my subordinate. They are Monsters I don't know about.”
Seeing Borkio speechless with a surprised face, Varvatos continued his words.
“They are neither my subordinates nor Gramfia. And since I am discussing this, I will say that Shuklous who is on your continent is also not our friend.”
“Ho, wait a minute, but legend ....”.
“I don't care about legends. After all, they are Alva or whatever is not my responsibility.”
“No but. Then what the fuck is Alva?”
“No idea.”
At that moment, Sechste, who was silent and listening to the conversation of Varvatos and Borkio, suddenly lifted his head and slipped himself between the two of them.
“Alright, stop for a moment. There are some things I want to check with Borkio. Is that okay?”
“?”
