Not All Heroes From Earth Are Bad [EN]: Chapter 211

Sidriel was busy, unable to even sleep.

The time given was only three days.

It was a tight schedule to find the councilors scattered throughout the Demon Realm.

Fortunately, Ozgeus was actively helping.

As the chairman, he knew where each councilor was and traveled with Sidriel using space- 이동 [Space-Movement] magic to find them.

“Why have you come to find me?”

The first was Matuk, the chief of the Orcs.

He was the head of the Orcs, a core force, the waist, of the Demon King’s army.

“I ask for your support in the upcoming Grand Assembly.”

Matuk shook his head at Sidriel’s request.

“I, Matuk, only follow the stronger one.”

Sidriel made every effort to persuade him, but Matuk remained unmoved.

“There is no time.”

“Hmph, I understand.”

In the end, Sidriel had no choice but to give up and look for another councilor.

“Krrk! This is interesting.”

The next person she met was the Goblin Master, Rerok.

He didn’t have strong power, but he was a demon respected and followed by all goblins.

Goblins accounted for 30% of all demons, a tremendous number.

Rerok’s influence, who controlled them all, was certainly significant.

“Krrk! What can you do for me and our goblins?”

“What do you want?”

“I want a permanent legion commander position.”

“That’s impossible.”

Sidriel shook her head.

In fact, there was no problem in appointing Rerok as legion commander itself.

Because the appointment of legion commander was solely the Demon King’s authority.

However, strength is absolute in the Demon King’s army.

Goblin Master Rerok only had the power of a division commander.

Even if he was given the position of legion commander, he would soon be deprived of it.

‘That’s why he asked for a permanent position…’

If such privileges were given, it was obvious that other demons would immediately revolt.

“I’m sorry. I can’t make false promises.”

“I understand.”

The situation was similar with the councilors she met afterward.

“I refuse. We have already promised to support Doritugs.”

The three most powerful noble families.

They said they would be with Doritugs.

“Let’s decide at the Grand Assembly.”

Kekna Kresusa, the leader of the Dark Elves, also did not give a definite answer.

“Hmm, she certainly seems to have grace.”

Only the Vampire Lord, Rehshiska, showed favor.

“The final decision will be made in the assembly hall, but let’s think positively.”

“Thank you.”

All three days passed while talking about this.

Late at night.

Sidriel, who returned to her residence, had a disappointed expression.

“In the end, I couldn’t even meet the beast Nubimogrel.”

“He doesn’t usually go out. It’s questionable whether he’ll show up at the assembly, but even if he does, he’ll unconditionally abstain.”

“I see.”

The meeting is at noon tomorrow.

Sidriel did everything she could to the best of her ability.

All that remained was to leave it to fate.

***

The next day at noon.

The Grand Assembly was held at the 4th Legion headquarters, Breed Bozra.

Originally, it should have been held in the Demon King’s castle, but the Holy War army occupied the Demon King’s castle after the Demon King’s death, so the venue had to be moved.

“To sit face to face with weaklings like goblins. It’s unpleasant.”

“Krrk! The stench of stupid orcs wafts all the way here.”

“You! Shut up if you don’t want your skinny spine to be pulled out!”

Before the meeting even started.

The Orc Chieftain Matuk and the Goblin Master Rerok were engaged in a war of nerves.

The Vampire Lord Rehshiska sighed as he watched the two of them spitting and arguing.

“To be treated the same as those inferior beings. Every time I come to a meeting, I regret why I didn’t go to eternal sleep sooner.”

“Woman, what did you say? Orcs are not inferior!”

“How dare a mere minority tribe ignore the large goblin tribe!”

“Oh, are you proudly saying that you’re just wasting food unnecessarily?”

Rehshiska even participated in the argument, and the atmosphere became increasingly fierce.

At this rate, the meeting might be canceled before it even started.

‘Hoo, I’m already dizzy.’

In the end, just as Chairman Ozgeus was about to step in to mediate.

“Lady Sidriel is entering.”

Everyone closed their mouths at the announcement.

Kugugugu-!

The huge stone door opened.

Soon, a small demon entered the conference hall.

The councilors and legion commanders all stared intently at Sidriel.

Some even sent openly aggressive magic.

“…”

Sidriel indifferently accepted the energy and sat down in her seat.

‘Is that Tegrad’s daughter?’

Doritugs, who was seeing Sidriel for the first time, looked at her with an interesting gaze.

At that moment, Sidriel and his eyes met.

“…”

The two looked at each other silently.

A strange tension flowed through the conference hall.

“Ahem, all the voting members have gathered.”

Ozgeus said.

It seemed better to proceed with the meeting quickly than to stay like this.

“Nubimogrel hasn’t arrived yet.”

“Nubimogrel said he would abstain.”

“I see.”

The beast Nubimogrel.

As Ozgeus expected, he abstained.

This brought the total number of attendees to eleven.

Three legion commanders and eight councilors.

Among them, Ozgeus was both a legion commander and a councilor, so he could vote twice, bringing the total number of votes to twelve.

“From now on, we will begin the vote to elect the next Demon King.”

Silence fell at Ozgeus’s words.

Everyone looked at Ozgeus and waited for the next words.

“First, I will briefly introduce the two demons and listen to their stories. The first candidate is Tegrad’s daughter, Sidriel.”

Sidriel rose from her seat.

“I am Sidriel. The Demon King’s seat is rightfully mine. For the future of the demons, it is right for me to become the Demon King. I trust your wise judgment.”

Sidriel finished her short introduction and sat down.

Ozgeus introduced the next candidate.

“Next is the 1st Legion Commander, Doritugs.”

Doritugs did not rise from his seat.

He looked around at the voting members with an arrogant expression.

“Is there a demon stronger than me in this place?”

Rudeness that came out without warning.

However, it was a question that hit the core of the Grand Assembly.

“Then there’s nothing more to say. The Demon King is the strongest.”

“…”

“I believe there is no fool here who would entrust the future to a young and ignorant demon.”

Doritugs’ story ended there.

Ozgeus continued the meeting.

“From now on, we will begin the vote. Please exercise your voting rights freely.”

As soon as Ozgeus finished speaking, Doritugs raised his hand.

“I’ll go first.”

“1st Legion Commander. Please speak.”

“I recommend myself. Doritugs.”

Ozgeus nodded.

“One vote for Doritugs.”

Following him, three demons raised their hands in a row.

“I will also vote for Doritugs.”

“Doritugs.”

“Same here.”

They were all noble families who supported Doritugs.

With this, Doritugs had a total of four votes.

‘This is what I expected.’

Ozgeus nodded.

He sensed that it was time to change the flow.

He raised his hand.

“As the 4th Legion Commander and the head of the Cowden clan, I, as a councilor, will support Lady Sidriel.”

As soon as he finished speaking, Sidriel also raised her hand.

“I, Sidriel, will also support myself.”

With this, Sidriel also took three votes.

So far, the voting result is 4 to 3. Out of 12 votes, 7 votes have been cast, so there are 5 votes left.

They were the Dark Elf leader, the Goblin Master, the Orc Chieftain, the Vampire Lord, and the 4th Legion Commander, respectively.

Then Kekna Kresusa, the leader of the Dark Elves, raised her hand.

“The Dark Elves want Doritugs.”

“The goblins also support Doritugs.”

In an instant, 2 votes were added to Doritugs.

Anxiety gradually appeared on Sidriel’s face.

“I’ll vote for that girl. She seems to have more grace than Doritugs.”

Vampire Lord Rehshiska said.

With this, 6 to 4.

All that remained were the Orc Chieftain Matuk and the 4th Legion Commander Onyx.

Doritugs smiled in victory.

‘It’s over.’

If those two both support Sidriel here, it’s a tie.

However, that will not happen.

Because all the stories have already been finished in advance.

“I, the Orc Chieftain Matuk…”

The moment the Orc Chieftain was about to speak.

Koo-oong-!

“3rd Legion Commander Hemis is entering.”

The door opened and an announcement was heard.

“Oh my~ Am I a little late?”

The councilors who saw her gasped.

“Hemis. Was she alive…?”

“I heard she was dead.”

The councilors who did not yet know of Hemis’s survival could not help but be surprised.

Doritugs looked at her calmly.

“I thought you said you wouldn’t come.”

“When I thought about it, I’m also the 3rd Legion Commander recognized by the Demon King, right? It seemed good to exercise my legitimate rights. There’s no problem, right?”

Ozgeus nodded at Hemis’s question.

“Yes. There are no regulations that say you can’t participate in the middle of a meeting.”

“Good. Then I will support Sidriel.”

At that moment, Doritugs stood up without realizing it.

“Hemis! What are you doing!? That’s different from what you said back then!”

Hemis’s lips curled up.

“Oh my, I said I would help the next Demon King be elected. I didn’t say it was you, did I?”

Even though she was wearing a hateful smile, Doritugs could do nothing.

Hemis had already exercised her voting rights.

It is impossible to change in the middle.

“Let’s see…”

Hemis sat down and crossed her legs.

She scanned the councilors with a bizarre smile.

“I believe the remaining friends will make a wise decision. You know what I mean, right?”

It was a clear threat, intimidation.

However, everyone just kept their mouths shut and did not come forward.

Rather, Goblin Master Rerok, who had already voted for Doritugs, even showed an anxious appearance.

“Ho, is it possible to change?”

“It is impossible.”

Rerok, who was covering his head and suffering.

Ignoring him, the meeting continued.

“Well, who’s next?”

At her words, the Orc Chieftain Matuk swallowed hard.

“I, Matuk…”

At that moment when Matuk was about to speak.

Suddenly, Hemis opened her mouth.

“Ah~ I’m feeling so weak these days, I want to eat meat.”

“…”

“I want to eat meat that’s plump and full of flesh~”

Hemis said, looking at Matuk with a subtle gaze.

She didn’t forget to lick her lips with her tongue.

Cold sweat poured down the back of the Orc Chieftain Matuk.

“What are you doing? It was just a soliloquy. Continue.”

“I, Matuk… will support Sidriel.”

Hemis smiled.

Doritugs jumped up.

“This doesn’t make sense! It’s a clear threat!”

“Oh my, was I not supposed to threaten? I don’t remember there being such a rule in the Grand Assembly?”

Ozgeus nodded.

“That’s right.”

This is the Grand Assembly held by the demons.

In the process, persuasion, threats, secret agreements, etc.

It was free to use any method.

Doritugs also knew that fact, but he was embarrassed because it was the first time that someone had actually threatened to take votes.

“Tsk…”

Doritugs calmed down and sat down.

‘Then it’s exactly half.’

The votes cast so far are 6 to 6.

The only remaining vote is the 4th Legion Commander Onyx.

‘Onyx. I believe you won’t change your mind now.’

Onyx is already with Doritugs.

One worrying thing is that he has a history of betraying the Demon King.

Given his nature of sticking to the strong, there was a possibility that he would go over there after seeing Hemis reappear.

“I am the 4th Legion Commander Onyx. I…”

At that moment when Onyx raised his hand and spoke.

“You can’t enter.”

“Damn it. What are you saying?”

A commotion was heard from outside the conference hall.

“Block them all!”

“Get out of the way, you trash bastards!”

Thud-! Pow!

The commotion gradually grew louder.

Everyone was making puzzled expressions, not knowing what the situation was.

Doritugs, who noticed something, jumped up.

“Onyx! Tell me quickly! Who are you going to support…!”

Kwaaang-!

With a roar, the conference hall door exploded.

A group entered the conference hall.

They were humans who did not fit in here.

“Oh, I’m glad it’s not over yet.”

Park Hyun-ah, an uninvited guest who came out of nowhere, smiled and waved her hand.

“The real 4th Legion Commander has appeared. You bastards.”
