'Weave'.
It was a way to use magic. Dividing the magic in one's body into threads and then mixing them together to form a whole, it could allow one piece of magic to undergo several transformations at the same time. It was often used in delicate intermediate and advanced magic.
For someone like Reina who had little magic, being able to use 'Weave' flexibly was very important.
Two finger-sized 'threads' of magic intertwined together and twisted into the shape of a fried dough twist.
"Weave!"
Reina, who was sitting by the river, shouted. A banana-sized bait appeared on the fishing rod and moved around mechanically.
"…"
The Demon King looked at her with a dark expression. Reina seemed to be very confident in this bait. With a wave of the fishing rod, she threw the bait into the water.
The loud sound of the bait hitting the water frightened the surrounding fish. The banana-sized bait kept twitching in the water. Not to mention the fish, even the Demon King, who was sitting on the shore, felt that this thing was a bit scary. Not to mention that this bait was bigger than most of the fish in the river, just its appearance alone was enough to deter most fish from approaching.
"I'm going to catch a big fish!"
Reina seemed to have noticed her master's gaze and turned her head confidently to him.
"…"
The Demon King's hand that was holding the fishing rod kept trembling.
What kind of idiot disciple did he teach!
Slap!
"Ouch!"
Reina was hit on the head by her master again.
"Are you trying to stuff the fish to death?" The Demon King scolded.
Being hit by her master like this, Linnai's attention was diverted, and she suddenly channeled too much magic power. With a bang, her bait exploded, immediately creating a large splash, and the whole river surged.
A barrier covered their heads, but Mikaji, who was sleeping on the side, was not so lucky. First, he was shocked awake by the explosion, then he was drenched in water, and finally, a fish fell on his head.
Reina covered her head with both hands. She was also shocked by the explosion, and then a fish fell in front of her.
"Master! I caught a fish! "
She immediately happily caught the fish and showed it to the Demon King.
Slap!
The Demon King gave her another punch.
"That's not fishing, that's bombing!"
Sigh ~
"Forget it, I'm not fishing anymore."
After all, with such a scare, it would be difficult for him to fall into the fish again.
The Demon King stood up, threw the fishing rod aside, and walked back to the camp.
"Master, wait for me!"
Reina also stood up and caught up with the fish in both hands. Mikeji also held a fish in his mouth and raised his head to catch up with some difficulty.
…
The long convoy moved forward along a winding path. Two rows of armored soldiers sat in the wooden carriages. Their faces were all expressionless.
The soldiers lowered their heads and put their swords back into their scabbards. They put their hands on the hilts of their swords and inserted them into the grooves on the floor of the carriage as if they were praying.
At the very front of the caravan, five single-horned white horses were pulling a black carriage.
"Ah ~ so boring."
Greer let out a long yawn. He leaned lazily against the back of the chair, but the Demon King didn't think it was very comfortable. The armor would support the body and push against the back of the neck.
If you ask why he knew, it was because the armor he was wearing was the same as Greer's.
"How can you be so relaxed? We're going to the battlefield."
Lilith, who was sitting next to the Demon King, said unhappily. From her expression, it could be seen that she was very nervous. On one hand, it might be because she thought that she was sitting next to the Demon King, and on the other hand, it was because they were going to carry out the most dangerous mission so far.
"Oh, of course I'm relaxed. For you brats, it's your first time on the battlefield, but for me, it's just returning to the battlefield. Do you understand? The battlefield is the same as my home, hehe. "Greer said with a smirk.
"Alien."
Lilith said in a low voice and turned her face away.
"And the only nervous person in this carriage seems to be you, former captain."
Greer mocked.
"How can you …"
Lilith wanted to refute, but when she looked at the others, she was speechless. Oro lowered his head and leaned against the armrest as if he had fallen asleep. Lin Chade, on the other hand, was reading a book with a natural expression.
He looked so handsome even when he was reading.
She blushed and looked at Dodoro. If it were her, she would've done the same thing.
Dodoro opened his mouth and held an apple in his hand. When he noticed Lilith's gaze, he immediately took a bite and hid the apple in another direction as if he was afraid that someone would take it away.
"Where did you get the apple?"
"I took it when I was eating."
Dodoro chewed the apple while answering.
Lilith was speechless. Why was there no normal person in this group other than her and Lin Chade?
It was normal for them to be nervous. After all, they were sent to the frontline and had to face the terrifying Demon King's army. Only those who weren't nervous would be suspicious.
But maybe it was just a facade.
"What do you think of our group? I feel a little strange. "Lilith lowered her voice.
"Maybe it's because the soldiers are not as good as they used to be."
Grier showed a rare look of seriousness in his eyes.
"How do you know?"
"There's something called EXP. Don't underestimate me. EXP is much more valuable than your magic."
Greer looked up and revealed a wolf-like expression.
"Oh, is that so? How can you be so sure that they're not good enough? I think they're well-equipped and they're moving well, "Lilith said. She didn't want to agree with Greer's assessment.
"You can't judge a group like that," Greer said. He was especially serious today.
"Spirit, aura, and expression. Maybe it's because of those differences," the Demon King suddenly said.
"Yes!" Greer nodded excitedly.
Lilith closed her mouth and leaned against the Demon King. "What do you think of them?"
The Demon King closed his book.
"Most of them are newbies. Some of them aren't even qualified. There's a big age gap as well. I think most of them only went through some simple training."
"That's right. Some of them don't follow the rules. For example, prisoners on death row," Greer said in a gloomy tone.
Lilith was silent for a few seconds, her brows furrowed.
"The Ross Empire's situation is worse than we thought. What do you think? Do you regret it now?" Greer asked.
"Regret what?" Lilith glared at him.
"Choosing to join the Empire. If you stayed in the Union, you might have been able to live longer."
"Hmph! I don't regret it. Speaking of which, do you have so little faith in Lin Chade? He's a hero. He'll definitely bring us victory, right? "Lilith looked innocently at the Demon King.
The Demon King smiled faintly and didn't reply.
"Besides, the Union is very powerful. They won't just sit by and watch the Ross Empire fall," Lilith continued.
"Unfortunately, the Union won't send a lot of reinforcements. We'll still have to rely on the Ross Empire and other empires."
"How can you be so sure of that?" Lilith questioned.
Greer took a deep breath and sighed. He seemed a little impatient. "Because of Rhode Island."
Lilith's face was full of doubt.
"I know you don't understand why an island that completely lost communications two years ago has anything to do with this. It's obvious from the map. If Rhode Island is occupied by the Demon King's army, then they can use it as a supply station to allow their ships to travel further. Do you understand? When the time comes, not only will the Demon King's forces on land be attacked, but the Demon King's army will also appear in any coastal area. "
Greer said solemnly.
"In other words, the Union can't concentrate their forces to defend against the Demon King's army on land. They also have to be wary of the Demon King's army's attacks on the sea. If they occupy a small country behind us, then unfortunately, humanity will be completely finished."
After he finished speaking, everyone in the carriage fell silent.
A fearful and oppressive atmosphere pervaded the entire group.
