New Life as the Kingdom's Youngest Son
cultists

Aldric who was still in Their kingdom with Zarah with his human form, they were about to set off again, but there was a bad feeling in Aldric's mind why could the king of Halphas do something this close ? There must be a reason, Aldric also arranged a place to talk about the problem.

"mr George... Your kaka problem... Was there anything unusual about him before he became king ? Or maybe a reason he declared this war ?" George nodded while looking at the crowd before replying.

"dad... He was like that... From childhood he was already arrogant and very selfish... Haaa... If only I had done something to stop him" Aldric in a supportive tone of "hey... Rice has become porridge.. It's better to eat it than let it stale"

George nodded "you are right... Even so, there is something strange about my kaka... He always talked to himself in his room and often brought 'friends' who had no background from where" Aldric thought for a moment "what room have you been investigating ?" George shook his head "if you want let's investigate right now" Aldric nodded in agreement.

After the masuh Aldric can already feel the difference of the room not only from the look but from the atmosphere, the difference of a beautiful royal hallway with luxurious and expensive rooms can feel many parts of the wall have a layer of gold and a lot of gold chests, but the atmosphere in the room is very gloomy even Aldric can feel it.

"the atmosphere in this room.... I could feel this was not good" George then looked at each side of his brother's room "I didn't know he was really scattering treasures like this" Aldric then saw a book made of animal skin (?) or something, and open it.

The contents are very terrible to describe the creatures of almagamasi and hell creatures, many symbols are also symbols that Aldric does not know and language that he does not understand as well.

George sees this dak surprised instead of playing "Halphas is part of the cult ?! No wonder he could win at the king's selection at that time !" Aldric while confused "election ?"

George nodded "when our father died he could not decide who should be king, so he voted from various levels of social, noble and temple parties 2 points, so he voted, and civilian 1 point, I'm already yakik will be elected... But... Somehow I won the election... Though he did nothing but now it all makes sense, this is the work of the cultists !"

Zarah who was still in his human form saw the room and looked towards Aldric "lord Aldric I believe this is a cult of the demon god" Aldric looked even more confused.

"demon god ? This means that there is some connection with the state of Bacchus ?" George corrected Aldric "well... These cultists were once part of the land of Bacchus but now they are declared terrorists... They have spread throughout the country spreading their influence to many people"

George added "they were people who believed the demon god was the savior and wanted to raise him to start a new world" Aldric recalled that Belialor and Lilim had the blood of the demon god on their bodies "but didn't king Bacchus have the blood of a demon god"

George breathed "yes that is... But to avoid misunderstandings you better ask directly to the source... My knowledge is limited..."

George left Aldric and Zarah in Halphas's room "I say I want to do further investigation first" he left the room "hm... Basic human... The Halphas must have known he would lose the selection so he asked for help from a cult to help himself ride" said Zarah with annoyance.

"it's been the cult's problem as long as the cultists don't make trouble with us I don't really bother you" Zarah nodded "if that's what you say"

The next morning they set off back to the land of Solantia carrying important news, as they were about to enter the forest area which is quite lush Zarah felt there would be an ambush by a group there, he was about to give this news to Aldric but he lost quickly to Kiril "my master I suspect we will be attacked in front please consider the next action"

Zarah was obviously surprised and questioned who Kiril really was, Aldric nodded "all right let's face it, your temple off guard and when they attack, attack them fiercely, the witches prepare your barrier"

They were walking in a wary crossbow had filled the arrows already on his bow and the magic barge was already rattling with mana and incantations.

A magic projectile shot out of nowhere directly towards Aldric Zarah at high speed wanted to protect Aldeic with his body but before he was hit by the magic projectile a barrier was built protecting the entire team, once in the morning Zarah was shocked by the abilities of Aldric's forces.

Aldric then sounded his whistle this time a long blow followed by two short and fast puffs, aldric's troops quickly set up a twisted formation protecting each other and Aldeic was in the middle of riding his horse able to see the situation from all directions.

The magic projectiles continued to be fired at Aldric's forces but they were successfully fielded by a strong and sturdy barrier, yet a terrifying and resounding cry could be heard from all directions, the sound of strong footsteps that Aldric heard him instantly turned towards the voice.

It was a tall skinny humanoid creature he had no skin and his head was a deer skeleton, he was similar to a wendigo and a tidqk only one but they there were enough to attack Aldric, he said, when they hit the barrier with their bare hands a crack was created.

Aldric who knew the barrier would not be long enough to give abah abah to lower the barrier and fight back, the whistle sounded again and the barrier shrunk so it only protects Aldeic and the witches, and the, the troops at the front directly advanced using their spears and swords to attack the wendigos.

The wendigos hit so hard but the blows from Aldric's troops were no less loud, the Wendigos then let out a shrill and loud voice along with a wave of dark aura Zarah had worried "that's cry of desparation ! Wawat" Zarah then jumps to one of the wendigos and splits his head in half.

The particles look to the other side of the line and they still survive "how.... They can..." Zarah runs out of words and decides to fight alongside Aldric's army, but the wendigos keep coming.

The heavy crossbows tried to find the location of the magician who kept shooting at them, until they succeeded and shot him down, the sound of the crossbow explosion followed by the sound of the pain of the target can be heard.

Aldric's army began to fall but more wendigos died than Aldric's, Aldric's army circled the wendigos and Kiril was somehow able to perform a manufer with his calvarian army in a fairly lush forest.

The wendigos started running around and the magic projectile fire stopped, the enemy had retreated, the wendigo's corpse then shrank to the size of a human, now they were just dried corpses wearing a deer skeleton mask.

Aldric saw the bodies of the creatures until the particles came to Aldric "they were called the master daemon..." Aldric looked towards Zarah "daemon ?" Zarah nodded and explained "they are creatures that must be called by the container... And these bodies are the containers they're usually used by cultists and the practice has become illegal all over the country"

A shriek of pain could be heard from afar it was a man with a black hood and robe with a bolt stuck around his neck, he was dying, Zarah came to him "who sent you ?" the man with breath gasping for breath mixed with blood in his skull replied "greetings... For.. for.... The Hungry Children"

Instantly the man's body lit up before exploding smoke and dust engulfed Zarah, Aldric who saw Zarah very close to the man immediately worried "Zarah !" however the silhouette of his body was seen walking towards Aldric "cih... Cheesy trick" with an annoyed tone in his voice.

Aldric sighed with relief "why are you so panicked ? Such an explosion would not kill me" Aldric then explained "if you die how do I explain this to Muerte ?" Zarah was shocked because Aldric mentioned the name Muerte what if his troops heard and they clearly heard their conversation.

Zarah looked at the other troops but they were too ordinary, they focused on healing the wounded and bringing the dead to be buried later, Zarah was really confused with Aldric's troops.
