Swordmaster’s Youngest Son Novel MTL - Chapter 909

## Chapter 909

As soon as they reviewed Ragal’s records, the three immediately returned to the Golden Ship.

The battle had concluded six hours ago, and they had already achieved a significant victory, but the members within the battleship remained vigilant, busy with equipment maintenance.

“Did you confirm the relationship between Ragal and Kelliark? Oh, well done! Valeria!”

“You’ve worked hard too, Doctor. How about the Red Owl?”

“Thankfully, thanks to the protective shield, there was no significant damage to the energy source or critical circuits. Everything has been repaired! Also, while doing the repairs, I found some modifications that could be applied to the mass-produced Red Owls. Ultimately, the Commander-in-Chief’s rough treatment of the Red Owl turned out to be helpful.”

“In any case, the boy seems to have a knack for recovering, even if he stumbles along the way.”

Jin took the battleship’s communication device.

“Manager, is anyone present from the Visepps?”

{Only Sir Tilias is here. I’ll connect him immediately.}

When the human world’s large-scale attack suddenly began, Sakiel had summoned most of the available Demon Kings to Grosch Castle.

However, Tilias and Misol were exceptions. Zito’s order to “let those two rest for a while” was still in effect.

Regarding this matter, even the Visepps couldn’t gauge Zito’s intentions.

{Jin, what’s the situation?}

“The records about Ragal have come to light. As we expected, Kelliark is in Hell, and judging by the part where he gave orders to Ragal, there’s a high possibility he’s treating him as a subordinate.”

{So, it’s confirmed that Kelliark Zipple is receiving help from the Witch. But from what I know, even the Witch can’t completely undo Zito’s brainwashing… Could it be that Sheenu, the Fire God, possesses an ability that surpasses the Witch’s?}

“I can’t be sure, but probably not. Sheenu is indeed the high-ranking Immortal in the human world.”

{A high-ranking Immortal… Well, I’ve heard from you about the ‘Fire Seal’ that makes anyone absolutely trust the Fire God. I suppose we should consider that the brainwashing was influenced by the Fire Seal or something similar.}

“I think the same, Tilias. Also, it’s not just the Witch; Ganesto is also cooperating with Kelliark, so they might have acquired some unknown abilities.”

{Hmm, Jin. Ragal is the most loyal to Zito. If Kelliark has turned someone like Ragal into his subordinate, it means… all the other Demon Kings could do the same.}

“Kelliark is making the Demon Kings, who are loyal to Zito, his subordinates… Zito couldn’t just watch that happen, right?”

{There’s no way to know what that madman is thinking. He might not know at all that Kelliark is taking out guys like Ragal, or he might already know but is letting it pass. Especially lately, he’s become even harder to read in many ways. The fact that he released Misol and me, and that we’re still on leave even though Grosch Castle is under attack, is also quite strange.}

Jin has the same thoughts. Zito’s intentions weren’t easy to decipher.

Why couldn’t he launch a large-scale attack against the human world with such a massive force?

After learning about the approximate size and power of the Demon Army thanks to the Visepps, Jin had been questioning Zito’s use of his forces.

It could have been better to reduce the frequency of the Fracture’s production and send all the high-level Demon Kings at once, or if that wasn’t feasible, silently gather all the combatants and superhuman-class troops in Grosch Castle before the large-scale attack.

If it were Jin, he would have prepared for the invasion of the human world differently.

‘Up until now, the True Demon World has been scattering its forces too carelessly…’

At the beginning of the war, Jin didn’t assess it this way. The random appearance of transfer Fractures had kept the alliance on high alert, and without the Black Sea returnees, they would have faced considerable challenges.

However, the alliance had managed to deal with all those Fractures without significant losses. They lost some cities, but all the residents were relocated to safe areas.

Furthermore, even before the large-scale attack, they had attempted preemptive strikes centered on Luna, and they had achieved a decisive victory in the battle for Grosch Castle.

However, Zito hadn’t shown any significant reaction so far, and Sakiel had been hastily fortifying Grosch Castle. It was disconcerting, as they couldn’t understand what the enemy wanted.

‘It seems like they’re not trying to win the war, but intentionally depleting their forces, or maybe the Demon Kings or ordinary troops think that if Zito can move comfortably, nothing else matters.’

Considering how transcendent beings like Ayula, Tess, and Ameris emphasized “Zito’s untouched power,” it was plausible. Of course, that didn’t make it any easier to understand.

“It’s strange in many ways. We’ll have to keep pushing forward until the enemy’s intentions are clear. There’s no reason to hesitate just because we don’t know what kind of trickery they’re plotting.”

{That’s right. We, the Visepps, have also decided that this is our first and last chance.}

Jin’s eyes gleamed.

“First and last chance? So, the Visepps intend to seriously move their forces?”

{Yes. Due to the human world’s advance, most of the Demon Kings are being rapidly deployed to Grosch Castle. In other words, the True Demon World’s main base is gradually weakening. In all the years we’ve lived as fugitives, there’s never been anything like this.}

“This is what you’ve been waiting for, Tilias. Are you confident in dealing a significant blow to the main base?”

{As long as Zito’s movements remain tied and Paellito goes to the surface, it’s definitely possible.}

Of course, even with the continuous reinforcement of troops in Grosch Castle and Paellito’s departure, the True Demon World was still overwhelmingly powerful compared to the Visepps.

Nevertheless, the Visepps had some faith. Among their spies were individuals in positions capable of influencing the entire True Demon World. The Visepps planned to create massive chaos within the True Demon World through these individuals.

And they didn’t hide this fact from Jin.

{Among our spies, there’s an administrator of the Artificial Sun. And we… are speculating that the Artificial Sun also serves as a kind of maintenance device that keeps Zito conscious.}

-Now is the time to explain the benefits. What do we gain by forming an alliance with you?

-{You gain the means to kill Zito.}

Jin remembered a conversation he had when he first communicated with Tilias.

“So, the way to kill Zito is related to the Artificial Sun.”

{Yes, but it’s not just that. Can I share the rest of the information with you after you break Grosch Castle and enter the True Demon World?}

“It still sounds like you don’t fully trust us.”

{… It’s not that. We simply believe we need a safety measure until the end.}

“It’s a joke, Tilias. It’s not like I don’t understand the Visepps’ perspective. Do as you please. In the end, whether it’s us or you, we can’t move forward without dealing with Zito.”

{Thank you for understanding. Once our main force begins its operations, we might discover more about Kelliark Zipple. We can confirm if he’s really subjugating other Demon Kings. And there’s one more important piece of information.}

“What is it?”

{The Holy Kingdom of Vankela. We had information that Paellito was planning to attack it.}

It was to be expected. Zito would want to find his eye, which was in the possession of the Holy Kingdom, to enhance his powers. If Zito himself didn’t directly attack the Holy Kingdom, it was natural for the True Demon World’s first sword to take the initiative.

“Do you know the exact date?”

[We haven’t figured it out yet. However, if the human world continues to relentlessly attack Grosch Castle in this way, there’s a high probability that Paellito will come before the castle is completely conquered. Sakiel would want to buy more time somehow.]

“No, I have a different opinion. Sakiel might want to buy time, but what about Zito? If he wanted to, he wouldn’t have wasted his army like this.”

[Then what?]

“If I were Zito, I would wait until the human world’s main forces have finished conquering Grosch Castle and entered the True Demon World before sending Paellito to the Holy Kingdom.”

In that case, the human world would have significantly fewer individuals to oppose Paellito.

For a moment, there was silence. Tilias and the Visepps hadn’t considered that method at all.

{… That makes sense!}

“Of course, even if we start entering the True Demon World, we’ll leave enough defense forces for the human world. But we don’t know what variables await us in the True Demon World. We’ve already entered that territory, so we can’t just withdraw our forces.”

{And if any variables arise, the human world is more likely to commit more forces to deal with them. If that happens, Zito’s eye in the Holy Kingdom will be left open for Paellito to take… That could potentially turn the tide of the battle in the True Demon World when Zito regains his strength.}

It was the worst-case scenario. The Visepps believed that when Zito regained his eye, there would be no hope left in the world.

“Therefore, we must eliminate Paellito before entering the True Demon World. So, you, at all costs, use your spies to confirm the date Paellito will appear in the human world. We need to make sure he ascends to the human world before sending our main force to Hell.”

{Understood. We will do whatever it takes to make that happen.}

While Tilias responded with a calm voice, he was convinced that there would be many sacrifices to send Paellito to the human world.

To catch such a big fish, they needed bait that matched him.

‘This would only be possible if Elder Brother Basset or Silkia served as bait. No, not Silkia… Only my elder brother Basset can do it.’

Jin could feel the heavy determination hidden in his voice.

“If you need our help with that, don’t hesitate to ask. We will provide support as much as possible.”

{I will, Jin. Let’s talk again next time after I convey this information to headquarters.}

“Take care, Tilias.”

{You too. May luck always be with you.}

Then, Jin called the Garden of Swords and Tikan.

“Chief Butler, Sir Kashimir. What’s the situation with the Fractures? After the first line of defense was broken, were any new Fractures added to our territory?”

{There haven’t been any, Sir.}

{[The Hufester alliance is the same, young patriarch. In fact, the frequency of Fractures seems to be decreasing rather than increasing. We have to keep an eye on it, but if the enemies aren’t using it as a smokescreen… then it seems like all the Fractures and troops are being summoned to Grosch Castle.]}

Jin nodded.

“Understood. In that case, we should continue our advance to pressure them further. If there are any signs of an increase in Fractures at headquarters, contact us immediately.”

Jin dropped the communication device and looked beyond the bridge. Ragal’s miasma had become much lighter than before.

It was time to begin the second advance.
