Because I was traveling alone and didn't have too many worries, Hinata Sakaguchi didn't bring a lot of luggage, but the marching speed wasn't very fast either.
After all, if she wants to go from Holy Imperial Nation to Tempest, she has to pass through a lot of countries, and Kingdom of Englasia is just one.
In addition, the season has reached winter, and the heavy snow has made her journey even more unsmooth.
And not long after Hinata marched, she met several subordinates who came to look for her.
There are six paladins under her command including "Light", "Sky" and "Earth Fire Feng Shui".
Because the "enemy" this time was too powerful, even the "light" knight Renard, who was the deputy leader of Holy Knight Order, had to put down his work to help 'Lord Hinata'.
As for Holy Knight Order's job, Renard was handed over to his confidants, as well as three other people including Three Martial Sages who was also 'Ten Great Saints'.
Although "Three Martial Sages" dislikes them Paladins, the current situation has almost reached a situation that can threaten the survival of mankind, so "Three Martial Sages" and the Paladins have unanimously decided to put aside their personal grudges and point the finger outside.
However, what Renard didn't know was that the moment he handed Holy Knight Order to "Three Martial Sages", they took Holy Knight Order and headed straight for Demon Country Federation.
Looking at the six familiar faces in front of him, Hinata Sakaguchi did not feel moved like some of the protagonists in the novel, but frowned and said to them.
"What are you doing here?"
"Didn't I tell you to come alone?"
Looking at the frowning Hinata, these six paladins were not as scared as usual.
Instead, it was a bit of a joke.
"'Lord Hinata', what are you talking about? If you go alone, aren't you looking down on us?"
"That's right! You're the only one who grabs the credit! This is too unkind! You don't want to grab the credit like this!"
"That's right, that's right!"
"Credit! What nonsense are you talking about? There is no credit!"
Hinata shook her head and denied everyone's words.
"'Lord Hinata', we know what you mean. But I'm sorry that I can't obey your order this time!"
"Yes, you look like you are going to the execution ground. Why do you want to bear everything by yourself and then die to apologize?"
"'Lord Hinata', me too! We don't want to use 'Lord Hinata''s sacrifice in exchange for anything. Without your Holy Knight Order, then it is no longer the Holy Knight Order in our hearts!"
Seeing these subordinates talking to each other, Hinata scratched her head in annoyance.
"Don't you guys understand the situation? You need to understand that your opponents are the Demon King and True Dragon. There are still two Demon Kings. The second Demon King is even comparable to 'True Dragon' and 'Calamity-class' True Demon King."
"We can't be rivals!"
"I made them angry this time, and it has nothing to do with you. Now obey the order and return home immediately!"
Looking at Hinata who gave the serious order, the six paladins remained motionless and just stood there firmly.
Seeing that Hinata's orders were ineffective, she knew that today they were going to die together on their own!
In the end, I had no choice but to "give up on myself" and said to the six people.
"Forget it, I've given you a chance. This is your own death. If you die, don't blame me!"
After saying that, Hinata turned around and rushed towards Demon Country Federation.
So, Hinata, who was originally marching alone, suddenly became seven people.
Because the number of people increased, Hinata's marching speed naturally slowed down.
The difficult journey, coupled with the bad weather, and the occasional experience of sleeping in the wild, even if they did not encounter an enemy, had to make these seven strong men who stood at the top of the human race physically and mentally exhausted.
But after several days of "non-stop" driving, a few people finally arrived at Kingdom of Blumund, which is closest to Jura Great Forest.
Because they were about to arrive at the territory of 'Demon King' Rimuru, everyone had to rest at Kingdom of Blumund to recover the energy they had spent on the march in the past few days.
After renting the coffin and packing their luggage, everyone came to the street of Kingdom of Blumund to eat something and get some information.
Looking at the prosperous and lively streets, these paladins could not help but show expressions of surprise.
They really didn't expect that a small country next to the Demon King's territory would not be affected by it at all, and would even be more peaceful than some large Capital City to a certain extent.
Not only that, even the products sold on the streets can be considered high-end products. Although they are not as good as products from some big countries, they are still enough to surprise them.
You must know that this is just a small country with a sparse population.
"Is it because of 'Demon King' Rimuru?!"
Looking at this 'prosperous' street, Hinata couldn't help but murmured in a daze.
"Can humans really make deals with monsters?!"
'Water' Knight Litis is also a little confused.
To be honest, if you even suggested making a deal with monsters in Holy Imperial Nation, you would most likely be treated as a heretic and executed.
Not to mention implementation.
After wandering around the streets for a while, Hinata finally believed that both 'Demon King' Rimuru and Demon King Morax were reincarnations from another world.
If it's not because of anything else, just these few stores can prove it.
Looking at the food dishes written on the walls of the restaurant, even Hinata couldn't help but feel a sense of nostalgia.
Except for the Japan dishes that she is familiar with, most of them come from the ancient country that was known as a "big food country" in her previous life.
"Xiaolongbao, fried dumplings, roast duck, Kung Pao chicken, Mapo tofu, white chopped chicken, Dongpo pork... and other famous dishes.
You must know that these dishes are relatively well-known dishes even in Japan!
"Would you like to order something?"
At this time, a waitress wearing service decorations came to Hinata and others.
"Yes! I'd like a portion of tonkotsu ramen, plus a portion of fried dumplings and steamed buns, and a portion of Kung Pao chicken!"
"It seems that our guests are very good at eating! It's our first time here and we are so knowledgeable!"
The waiter was a little surprised, but he still wrote all the dishes Hinata mentioned in his order book.
"And how many of you are there?"
As she spoke, the waitress turned her attention to the six paladins who followed Hinata.
Listening to the waitress's question, the six paladins couldn't help showing a look of embarrassment.
Never heard of this!
"I'll also have one that's the same as 'Lord Hinata'!"
"Me, me too!"
"Me too!
"Yeah!"
In the end, the six of them had no choice but to order the exact same dishes as Hinata.
After a while, the dishes were all served, and the six "Tu Lao Mao" from another world looked at the steaming and fragrant fried dumplings and steamed dumplings, and showed troubled expressions.
It smells pretty good, but I won't eat it!
I could only learn how to eat Hinata's food by following Hinata's example. The only flaw was that this thing called 'chopsticks' was a bit hard to use.
"I'm going! It'll burn me to death!"
"Delicious~~"
"You're lying! How could there be such delicious food?!"
"I feel that compared to what I ate at Imperial Nation, it's just pig food!"
"That's right! I've never tasted anything so delicious!"
The taste buds of these six naive people who had never seen the world were directly impacted by the unknown food from the "big food country" in another world, as if they had opened up a new world.
So delicious!
Seeing the six subordinates who were conquered by the delicacies of her hometown, Hinata couldn't help but slightly raise the corners of her mouth and reveal a smile that she hadn't seen in a long time.
Just as everyone was savoring this 'rare in the world' delicacy, a voice that sounded like a storyteller suddenly came from the side.
"According to mainland rumors! Although Jura Great Forest is the territory of 'Nine Heavens Governing the World' 'Demon King' Rimuru, Jura Great Forest is indeed jointly governed by two demon kings."
"One of them is a well-known rising star in mainland China - 'Demon King' Rimuru, and the other is the other founder of Demon Country Federation, 'Geo Archon' Morax."
"And this emperor of the Demon Kingdom is not a simple person. In the recent past, this Emperor of the Demon Kingdom has personally solved many crises that harmed Jura Great Forest. You still listen to me and tell you one by one..."
"According to legend, Jura Great Forest..."
Although Rimuru and Morax are indeed demon kings, the people of Kingdom of Blumund will not be afraid of these two, because it is these two powerful demon kings who make their lives better.
At first they were quite afraid of 'Demon King' Rimuru, but after many people from Brumut went to Tempest, they realized that this was not the devil!
This is simply their living Buddha. As long as they put in some effort in Tempest, they can get anything they want. This is a good opportunity that they cannot get in their own country or even in those big Capital City.
In addition, because Demon Country Federation has two demon kings, some powerful monsters and humans do not dare to act recklessly in Jura Great Forest. It can be said without hesitation that Demon Country Federation feels so safe.
If something happens to you, you can call the police. If you have no money, you can give your labor in exchange for money. If you encounter a robbery, report it and your things will be back soon.
Demon Country Federation For them, it is simply heaven!
Now many people from Kingdom of Blumund have settled in Demon Country Federation, found a job, and started their own good life.
Listening to the praise and admiration of these humans for 'Demon King' Rimuru and Demon King Morax, these six paladins always feel uncomfortable in their hearts!
No, there seems to be something wrong with this! When did humans stop believing in heroes and start believing in devils instead?
This, this, is simply rebellion against Tiangang!
However, with the idea of "gathering" intelligence, the six paladins and Hinata listened carefully to the "explanation" from the old man.
After a moment, not only the six holy knights, but also Hinata showed an expression of 'disbelief'.
The legend of Rimuru is okay, not that exaggerated, and it was within their expectations. But the legend of Morax is different.
In the mouth of this old man, the Demon King Morax, no, it should be called 'Geo Archon' Morax, which is as supreme as a 'god'.
Even the information Resum mentioned was much worse than that of this old man.
What about suppressing an army of hundreds of thousands of pig-headed men with one hand, leading an army to conquer the entire Jura Great Forest, randomly throwing a Rock Spear into a "Guyun Pavilion" and suppressing other strong men comparable to Demon King level, etc.
It's simply... even more exaggerated than "deification".
"'Lord Hinata', what this old man said, do you think... well, it's somewhat true!"
At this time, Renard, who was the Knight of Light, asked Hinata Sakaguchi, who was still a little distracted.
"... I don't know, but what is certain is that Demon King Morax is indeed not something we can handle!"
Hinata Sakaguchi shook his head. Let's not say whether this information is true or false, but what is certain is that if Morax takes action, she, no, even with her subordinates, should not be Morax's opponent.
This time she may die. I hope her life can help 'Demon King' Rimuru extinguish the anger in her heart!
"Okay, let's eat quickly! We're on our way after eating!"
Hinata said something to her six subordinates and started eating the remaining delicacies. Maybe this might be the last time she tastes the delicacies of her hometown!
"... Yes, 'Lord Hinata'."
Renard still wants to say something, but when the words come to his lips, he doesn't know what to say, right! It seems that there is nothing more to say. Do they really have a chance of winning this time?!
No, there is no chance of winning at all. Even 'Demon King' Rimuru and the others are not sure of winning, let alone [Storm Dragon]Veldora and 'Geo Archon' Morax.
Alas, it doesn't matter, even if the road ahead is 'death-less', it doesn't matter. Being able to die with 'Lord Hinata', who is 'Strongest Human', is not an 'honor'!
In this way, with their "minds" in mind, the six of them finally finished the meal.
After resting at the hotel for a night, Hinata and others finally set out on their journey to the Demon King's territory 'Jura Great Forest'.
After a short rest, their bodies have reached their peak levels.
After entering Jura Great Forest, these seven people couldn't help being surprised.
"Borders, streets, drinking fountains, security guards" everything made this group of strong human beings from Holy Imperial Nation 'stunned'.
After seeing the development of Tempest, Hinata couldn't help but have doubts in her heart.
At this time, someone suddenly seemed to contact her with magic.
[Hyuuga---people,... three... martial immortals... knights... go out to fight without authorization!]
Hinata frowned when she heard these transmissions.
[Xiao... Xiao-Xin,...'Qiyao'.]
"Something happened!"
A 'bad' premonition arose in Hinata's heart. She felt that something she didn't know was happening quietly.
"Are you coming?"
At this time, Rimuru, who was standing on a cliff somewhere, looked at Souei, who had just returned, and asked.
"Lord Rimuru, Hinata Sakaguchi have led six paladins to arrive at Jura Great Forest. Based on time, it is expected that they will be able to reach Tempest before noon."
"Noon?! That's fine."
"It's finally time to settle everything with her!"
Rimuru looked at the woods not far away, as if he wanted to see that 'old enemy' through the layers of obstacles.
