Chapter 12 - "When Silence Becomes a Threat”

Fude angrily said, "Now your king has too much courage. He sent you here, and I don't want to see you in my kingdom.

Your king is a bastard king. He can't face me in the battlefield, so he thought killing my commander would win him the battle. But I tell you, I am Fifth Demon King Fude, and I will take Solgon to finish Seriko with my own hands. He killed my commander—then he has to pay for this.

"The slayer said, "I know you are the Fifth Demon King, but what are you saying? I don't know about whom our King Seriko killed."Fude said, "Don't worry. In the battlefield, when I put my katana on his neck, then I'll tell him.

The brave commander who died—he was a legend. He served his king from childhood to adulthood. I am proud of him, but your king will never know this."The slayer said, "King Fude, I don't know whatever you are saying. I am here to deliver King Seriko's message: he offers you to join his army. If you refuse, you will lose the people you love.

"Fude said, "Does your king think he can easily defeat me? He is thinking wrong. Tell your king that Fude has announced he will fight against him. Now you go."The slayer said, "Fude, think again. You are angry now. First, think calmly, then tell me your decision."

Fude said, "Yes, you are right. I am angry, but my decision will not change, got it? Now leave my kingdom right now. I can't control myself, so leave before I do anything wrong."The slayer said, "Ah, Fude, I was thinking you are a powerful king who works with his brain, but I was wrong. Anyway, I will tell your message to Seriko.

"Then he took out a black stone and teleported. He arrived exactly near his 30 demon monsters. He said to the chief, "Now you move forward to the Welko Kingdom. I am going to tell this information about Fude."The chief, whose name was Gareno, said to the slayer, "What did Fude say?"The slayer said, "He refused it, and he was saying that King Seriko killed Fude's commander.

I don't know who his commander is."The chief thought to himself and asked the slayer, "Did you see King Leobarko's commander Leo Duro in the tribe or not?"The slayer said, "No, I didn't see him. In the tribe, everyone was present, but I didn't see him.

"Then Chief Gareno said, "No, it can't be possible. If I am thinking right, then we are in big trouble, slayer."The slayer said, "What are you saying? I didn't get your point."Chief Gareno said, "The commander who died in Fude's kingdom—it was Commander Leo Duro. I'm sure about it. Fude is hiding his death from everyone, not even King Leobarko knows his commander was killed."Slayer got in shock.

His eyes became big, he fell down, and said, "Now we can't hide from the king's anger. I know when it comes to his important people, he becomes a devil, and no one can stop him."Chief Gareno said, "Slayer, tell me what Fude talked with you.

Did it look bad in King Fude's eyes?" He put his hands on the slayer, who looked too much afraid.The slayer said, "When I entered the kingdom, everyone in his kingdom saw me like they wanted to kill me there. But Fude said this, which I didn't understand: 'Your dirty Seriko king can't face the commander in the battlefield, so he thinks it is a better idea to kill him with poison. He was thinking now Fude will become weak, but remember, I am Fude. I will never spare him.

He killed my commander in my kingdom—he has to pay this through his death.'"Chief Gareno knelt down and said, "Do you know this? King Seriko sent someone to kill Leo Duro. If you know, tell me."The slayer said, "No, I didn't know, and I have no idea. He only ordered me as you heard."Chief Gareno thought to himself, If Seriko made this plan and did this behind our backs, then King Leobarko will not spare him. He is too much powerful—he hasn't used his full power, but now the end of the earth is very soon.

The slayer said, "Now what do I have to do? We have to inform King Seriko that Fude killed Leo Duro and claim that King Seriko sent his men to kill Leo Duro."Chief Gareno said, "No, we can't inform him. If anyone knows this and it reaches King Leobarko's ears, you know the result, slayer.

You have to march with the troop, and I am going to inform King Seriko that King Fude refused his offer."The slayer said, "Okay, as you say. I am moving forward to the Welko Kingdom. But as soon as you need help, reach out for me, Chief Gareno."Then he sat on his demon horse and moved to King Seriko's place.The First Rank Demon King Leobarko was waiting for the spy boy to know how things were going in Fude's kingdom.He stood up and looked outside the window.

He saw a boy coming—he was hiding in the cave so no one knew him.King Leobarko thought it was his spy boy coming to inform him. He sat on the chair. Then a demon warrior, the small brother of Commander Leo Duro—his name was Keo Duro—said, "King, the boy wants to talk with you."The king said to him, "Send the boy inside, and Keo Duro, you also come inside. You know this.

"Then both entered the cabin. King Leobarko said, "What information do you have, spy boy? And you can remove your cave."The boy removed his cave, but he was not the spy. He was a strange boy. "My name is Ralko, and I have information about King Fude hiding an important truth from you, king.

"Keo Duro took out his katana and said, "Don't worry, king. He can't even touch you. You may go from here."King Leobarko said, "Keo Duro, put your katana down. I want to know what he knows that Fude is hiding from me.

"Keo Duro said, "Okay, my king." He put down his katana.Then Ralko said, "Your commander Leo Duro is no more with us. He was killed in the kingdom of Fude. His dead body was found lying on the floor. Fude saw Leo Duro and gave orders: no one knows this—Leo Duro has been killed, got it.

His dead body was burned into the soil at nighttime, and I was there at the time."His small brother Keo Duro said, "What are you saying? How is it possible? My brother Leo Duro died? No one has the courage to face him."The boy said, "He was killed by poison. That's it.

"Keo Duro said, "King, don't believe him. He is a fraud, and I'm sure about this. My brother is alive. I know this." He was losing his emotions.King Leobarko calmly listened and said, "Keo Duro, believe me. If it is true, then I will never spare Seriko or anyone else responsible for this, Keo Duro.

I haven't thought Commander Leo Duro could be easily killed by anyone through tricks."Keo Duro said, "King, give me orders to attack Seriko and finish this chapter."King Leobarko said, "No, we will stay quiet. I want to see how Fifth Demon King Fude takes this.

I believe he will handle it. Stay calm, Keo Duro. I know you are feeling bad because you lost your brother who saved you from every problem. And he is—was—a very good warrior. I am happy that he was our commander."Keo Duro said, "But king..." He was burning in anger to take revenge for his brother's death.The king said to the boy, "Now you go from here, and I don't want to see you again.

"Then the boy took out his magical stone and teleported.Chief Gareno also reached back to King Seriko. He angrily took hold of Seriko.

"Seriko, what have you done?" He kicked the door and entered the cabinet where Seriko was drinking.Seriko said, "Oh, Chief Gareno, what happened? Is my work complete which I gave you?"Chief Gareno said, "Today onwards, I am not your chief, and I am not accepting you as my king because you do not deserve this position.

"Seriko angrily threw the wine glass and said, "Ah, do you want to fight with me, chief? You don't like your life?"Gareno said, "You did a foolish thing: you killed Commander Leo Duro in the kingdom of Fude. I am warning you—hide in some place because King Leobarko will never spare you.

"Seriko listened to nothing. He took out his sword and cut off his head. "You destroyed the whole fun, idiot. And I did not do this. If he comes, he gives me the opportunity to finish him with my own hands."On the other side, the slayer and his army of 30 demon monsters reached the Welko Kingdom territory.

A few soldiers of the Welko Kingdom saw the monsters coming. One soldier said to everyone, "I am going to inform King Felko about this. But you have to make sure they don't enter our territory.

Use your magic power to stop them or make a protective barrier, got it."This brave soldier's name was Rebecca, and his family had served the Welko Kingdom for generations.After a few minutes, he reached the king's place.

"My king, demons—total strength 30—are reaching here to attack us. What do we have to do right now?"King Felko calmly stood and said to his commander Geo, "Ready our army officers and inform this information to my right hand, Fude King.

Now it is war time—they started, so they pay with their blood."Geo said, "Okay, my king," when he was going to inform Fude.Fude arrived with his strong members. He said to Commander Geo, "I know the demons reached near the Welko Kingdom, and I will explain everything in front of Felko.

"King Felko said, "Ah, Fude, my right hand. I know you always keep your eyes and ears open and easily get information. And I don't want to know anything right now, but we have to unite and protect our people from them.

"Fude said, "Commander, Ongo, and Relko—you have the main work: take out people safely from the borders of Welko. It will give us time, and no one loses their life."Fude said, "Felko, Oberko, and I will try to kill down all demon monsters. I know it is not easy work at all, and everyone has to promise me: come alive.

"Everyone said, "Okay, our King Fude, as you say."Oberko said, "Ah, finally I can kill someone with my hands. I itch—I have not killed any monster before."Fude said, "Oberko, your target is the magical user of the demon monsters. Small monsters are for Felko King to kill.

And in the last, I will kill the most powerful monster, who is called the Devil of the Sky. When they go for any war, rain of blood falls on the ground, so I will handle this."And after that, I will inform this to Demon King Leobarko, and he will decide what to do with Seriko, he thought to himself.
