Chapter 163 – Eldland’s Capital Power Is the World’s J2!! (6)
After confirming, analyzing, examining, and calculating my abilities, Vilgamesh seems to have outlined a grand invasion plan.
1. Among the prisoners of extreme punishment who are scheduled to be sentenced to death, select the worst quality prisoners and have them swallow the seeds to prepare them to awaken as capable people.
2. After sending these ‘bombs’ to the city that is going to be invaded, I amplify their emotions at a set timing to force their abilities to run wild and transform them into monsters in the erosion stage.
3. As the monsters rampage, quite a few cities will be hit close to destruction, and even if they are somehow lucky enough to subdue the monsters, they will no longer have the strength to fight.
4. At that time, the 200,000 troops prepared in advance…
“Wait, what? It looks like there’s an extra zero now, am I mistaken?”
“What are you talking about? This Eldland, which I rule, is the richest country in the world. Do you really think there won’t be that many soldiers in such a large country?”
It was not wrong.
An army of two hundred thousand. It was a number that could only be used in Romance of the Three Kingdoms, losing a sense of reality. Of course, the size of the kingdom of Eldland is a little larger than that of China, so it has a large population, but… You can prepare a huge number of troops, as many as 200,000, all in one morning and start an invasion? No matter how prepared we are for war, is that possible? Is this the power of that capital?
“In the past, any country could have been defeated at once, but as the gods actively intervened in the world, the number of people with divine powers and blessings increased excessively. It costs nothing to maintain, and that’s why most cities value the quality of their troops over quantity.”
A hundred humans are strong, but a hundred bare-handed humans cannot do anything to a tank.
In the end, as time passed, it came to the conclusion that it was cheaper and easier to control to operate a small number of high-quality troops that could do what a large number of troops could do alone than to have a large number of troops. However, for the sake of an unexpected situation, Vilgames was continuing to maintain part of the existing large army. In the first place, the 200,000 people used for this operation are about 20% of Eldland’s total troops.
Wait, so this crazy country has tens of thousands of soldiers? A million-strong army? Can you afford it? Oh, well, you’re keeping it because you can afford it, right? Really, the more I think about it, the more my head gets farther and farther. A million people… More than all the people in Landfill put together? Can you really afford that? Eldland’s capital power is truly the best in the world!
“An individual who can do what hundreds or thousands of people can do alone. Of course, that’s good. But when all those few troops are tied to one place, the places where there are no other troops are as good as defenseless.”
In other words, while rampaging monsters capture the strongest minority in each city by ramping up my abilities, I will unilaterally invade cities with no one to defend with my own soldiers and make them my territory. Even if there are ruthless individuals who can deal with hundreds or thousands of people alone, if they are tied up elsewhere, in the meantime, the hundreds or thousands of troops they should have dealt with will rob a city with an empty defense force. What a ruthless operation.
When he asked how the heck he was going to move that many soldiers, it seemed like he was going to rent a few airships and use them as a means of transporting the soldiers. The real Eldland’s capital power is the best in the world, right?
“When this is safely over and the world bows down under my kingdom… Sensei, I will never forget your hard work. Hehe…”
Damn you, you crazy bastard. When the work is over, I am full of thoughts of throwing up. If you’re going to lie, shouldn’t you at least hide your feelings? Because I have the ability to intervene in people’s emotions, I’m more sensitive to other people’s emotions, so I didn’t believe Vilgames’s empty words at all. There was no emotion in saying that I was honoring my achievements.
If Vilgames can use me to take possession of the world, then someone else can use me to drive Vilgameth out and take possession of the world. And there’s no way this greedy golden-sun king won’t go back there. I will take a moderate attitude so that I can cooperate as much as possible, and then quietly take care of me when the work is done. If this fails, he will kill me and put all the blame on me.
“Are all the death row inmates ready?”
“…Yes. I planted all the seeds, so I can always amplify the emotions to the maximum to bring them to the erosion stage.”
“Excellent. Okay, then we should start by sending death row inmates to major countries.”
But this stupid king is missing something in his calculations.
“Until you start working in earnest, go back to prison and rest.”
“Yes.”
Things in the world don’t always go according to plan.
You can’t always look for the best, and the worst can happen anytime, anywhere, without notice.
“…After.”
Upon entering the prison, as if they had been waiting, the guards who were to watch over me gave me cold, cold eyes. I wondered why he was glaring at me with such disapproval, but the moment one of the guards opened his mouth, I knew the answer.
“The great teacher has finally arrived. On the subject of Landfill’s garbage, he must have defeated General Nubis with cowardly means, but he is a child who trembles with all kinds of prestige.”
“Do you know how much money I lost because of you?
“I don’t know what kind of strange magic tricks can deceive the eyes of His Majesty Vilgames, but they can’t fool us.”
Whoops, whoops. The three guards showed their hostility toward me without hesitation, with their fists making a terrifying bone sound. Seeing that, I couldn’t help but snort.
“Cowardly means? What did I do? Even the general, who is the party involved, doesn’t oppose it, so why would a third party say it? Do you have the brain to prove what kind of cowardly means I used in the first place?”
“What? This bastard…”
“Blowing money? That’s why you should’ve bet right. It’s not your eyes that’s on your face, it’s a knot hole? You put your money on something weird, and then you blame me for winning. There’s no big boy out there. “
“This bastard…! Did you finish talking?!”
“And what, you fooled the eyes of Bilgames, but you can’t fool your eyes? Do you want to boast so proudly that the king of your country has the eyes of an insignificant jailer guarding such a dull prison?”
“…!!”
As soon as I responded with the right words to the disagreeable quarrels, one of the guards reached for the key ring of the waist dance. He must have intended to open the prison door and come in and beat me up. Tomorrow is the final day of the large-scale invasion operation that Vilgames hastily set up, so it seems that they were trying to take their anger out on me until their anger was resolved, as long as there was no problem with the matter.
“I’ll tell you in advance, I’ll take that as confirmation that you might get beaten up by me the moment you open the prison door and step inside.”
“What?”
“If I tell you once, you won’t understand? So, I’ll make you semi-death when you open the prison door and come in.”
The prison guard snorted and opened the prison door with a key chain. And two guards entered the cramped prison…
“Ha, yes. I came in as you said. So, what are you going to do now?”
Damn!
My face is tingling. Bastard, once your hands are dirty. They say that they bend their arms inward, and they seem to think that even if they get into an accident, Bilgames will take their side as people. Seeing that he naturally uses violence, it doesn’t seem like he’s done it once or twice.
“What are you going to do!”
Irrational, emotional, impulsive. Instead of setting their eyes on the world, those who bring the world down to their level. If you’re stupid, you should at least be humble. Fools who can’t do that, and just do what they want to do.
“Because you guys were the ones who used violence in the first place.”
A guy who can’t properly control even one of his subordinates the way he wants.
“Is this self-defense?”
To think that you can properly control those terrifying monsters that break your heart and are driven only by your instincts and desires. How arrogant is this?
To hit me again, the jailer pulled back his unclasped hand, and I put my hand on his side.
And, Perak.
“…
The guard who was about to hit me soon let go of my clothes and looked down at his body in disbelief with eyes full of bewilderment. To be precise, his side had been punctured just before by one of his fists. Through the gaping hole, the other side was clearly visible.
“Kuk, heh, heh…!”
Before even complaining of pain, the guard shuddered and gradually collapsed. Seeing that, the eyes of the other guy in the prison and the guy watching outside widened.
“What, what is this…”
Before the other guy in the prison came to his senses, I reached for his stomach. But before my hand could reach the guard, who belatedly came to his senses, hurriedly pulled his body back.
Crisp.
“Oh, dear.”
“Ah… Aaaaa!!!”
Soon, the other guard in the prison knelt with a painful scream, clutching the red-stained spot between his crotch.
“Ah…Why did you avoid it? If I stayed still, I was going to hurt you enough that you wouldn’t die, but since you moved on your own, you got hit in a very bad place. I won’t be using the lower part of my body in the future. Well, it must have been something I had no use for in the first place. “
After putting the two guards out of action in an instant, I turned my attention to the guy outside, who was sitting on the floor, unable to take his eyes off me, with fear on his face.
“Hey you.”
Flinch. When I called him, he shuddered.
“Take these bastards and treat them before they die. And don’t blame others for losing money after betting money on something that won’t work in the future.”
“Ah, uh, uh…”
“Aren’t you going to take me soon?”
“Yes, yes! Mu, sure!
Terror by force is temporary and simple, but quick and effective.
He probably thought that there was no way that a man he had never heard of could suddenly be able to lightly cook the great general, the pride of his country. So he must have thought that he had simply defeated their general through trickery and bizarre magic, but upon experiencing it himself, he would realize that it was their mistake. Now, until Vilgames gets me out of prison again to carry out the operation, there won’t be any people coming to quarrel with me.
And he had already thought in his head how he would mess up Vilgames’ plans as well.
I told you, Vilgames. Those who have reached the stage of erosion are not bound by anything and cannot be controlled. As of now, if I don’t step in, there’s no way to turn them back into humans.
Your strategy is no different from hoping that only your own ship will be safe in a stormy sea and all the enemy’s ships will be caught in the waves and sink. If you had considered the worst case scenario, you wouldn’t have rushed into such a reckless operation. No matter how impatient I was, it was a premature choice.
“If Vilgames gets into an accident this time and hits it properly, probably each country will be saving themselves for a while and won’t even pay attention to the land fill. Now that the poisonous gas has disappeared, what is needed for the land fill is order. A means to solve external forces and internal problems. But the law doesn’t work. Landfill is a lawless area, so I was able to live comfortably, and the people who came to Landfill couldn’t follow the law that suddenly appeared.”
So I have to make Landfill a country that doesn’t need laws, not a city without laws.
“First of all, my personal combat power is no longer lacking.”
Esk’s [Piercing], Jean Sen’s [Distortion Acrobatics], Etc… The more talented people awaken, the more cards I can use. [Distortion Acrobatics] Proved that it was possible to lightly defeat the general of Eldland or Nubis, the holder of God’s protection and authority, with only the full bloom stage, without getting hurt, and [Piercing] Was also able to properly pierce the bodies of the two guards. I confirmed that it was useful as a gift. At this rate… Assuming that Vilgames doesn’t suddenly bring out the hidden means, I don’t think I’ll ever lose in a one-on-one match.
Tumble, Tumble.
At that time, the sound of someone walking this way broke my thoughts. What? I’ve set an example for those two guards, so most of them wouldn’t even dare to approach me, so who’s coming?
“… Huh? Semira?”
The guest who came to me is Semira.
After receiving orders from Bilgames to bring me to Eld Land, I infiltrated Land Phil… She was the woman who ran after all her comrades and got fucked by me. Behind her, there was a person who covered her face with her hood… No, but if you want to hide your identity in this neighborhood, is it common sense to show up wearing a hood like that? Here in Eldland is a desert kingdom where the sun shines strongly, but it is so thick and so black that they use a hood made of a material that absorbs heat well? If it were me, I would have been steamed to death right away.
“What’s going on?”
“…This person said he wanted to see you, so I gave you directions.”
“A visit? But there’s no way your king would allow that.”
Vilgames is now busy preparing for a large-scale surprise invasion using my power. But tomorrow is the day of the operation, and I, the core of the operation, will be in contact with someone else? What if the person I contacted harms me or steals me? But since he’s a king, there’s no way he wouldn’t think of such a thing.
“Yes, I didn’t get permission. Originally, I didn’t intend to come all the way here. But thanks to someone kicking out all the guards guarding this place, I was able to hurry up and meet you, the person in charge tomorrow, before it’s too late.”
“Hmm… You know what will happen tomorrow, and the king won’t allow you to visit me, who is an important witness, so you came to see me secretly? Looking at it, I’m sure he’s not a lowly person… I can’t affirm Vilgames’ strategy, but he’s in a position that I can’t openly oppose in front of him, and at the same time, I’m a high-ranking person in this kingdom? “Because among the people I’ve come face to face with, there are only two high-ranking people?”
“…”
“I’m heavy-mouthed, so take off that hood and show your face.”
“I can’t take it off. There are circumstances where I can’t reveal my identity.”
“That’s your case. How can I trust someone who has a business and doesn’t reveal his identity?”
Semira tried to plead something of her own on behalf of her hooded man, but her hooded man stopped her and sighed.
“It’s definitely not wrong. Yes, in order to gain the trust of others, you have to pay that much.”
And the man took off his hood.
“…Can you trust me now?”
“Of course, General Nubis.”
Yes. Person who came to me. It was the general of the Red Sands Legion whom King Bilgames trusted very much, the one chosen by Sahera, the god of the desert, and Nubis whom I defeated in the arena.
Of course, what’s even more surprising than that is…
“Rather than that, General Nuvis… Were you a woman?”
Her appearance was that of an older athletic woman full of healthy beauty with her skin tanned brown.
I never thought that such a pretty heroine would be hidden under that vicious armor in the shape of a crocodile.
“It’s really surprising. I could never have thought that the famous General Nubis was a woman. By the way, what business did I have to come here?”
“Tell me the main point.”
General Nubis held on to the bars of the prison where I was imprisoned, and he said to me with a hard face.
“What Your Majesty will do tomorrow is too reckless. Guild Masters and other strong people from around the world will not let go of it. If we don’t stop now, there will be no turning back. No way. I want to stop tomorrow’s invasion at all costs, lest Your Majesty’s decision put an end to the long history of this kingdom.”
“You want to stop the invasion? You are a general, aren’t you. You are a general who has to lead and lead the army of Vilgames in the invasion tomorrow, right?”
“As a servant, I need to correct it if Your Majesty tries to go the wrong way. However, Your Majesty trusts your power too much and doesn’t listen to me at all… Protect this world in the first place. There is no way the seeing gods will stand by and watch your Majesty’s reckless plans. If you commit such a reckless act that upsets the balance of this world, you will surely incur the wrath of many gods and this will open the prelude to a bigger war. I… Although I am a general, I don’t want to go to war again.”
“Why?”
“War, in the end, either side loses something.”
Hmm…
God’s intervention, that’s for sure.
According to Nia-san, the gods of Atipia promised not to intervene directly in this world unless there were really special cases… In the world of Luminous, the god of lightning and the god of death broke the rules among the gods and sneaked into the stage. Just like how she tried to sabotage the deity level test she was going to take, even if the rules are set, there will always be people who break them. In addition, as General Nubis said, if Vilgames upsets the balance of this world with such a massive invasion, there is a possibility that the gods who wanted this world will intervene more, targeting the moment when the balance is broken.
“His Majesty Vilgames’ decision is a gunshot that will restart the war between the gods. I don’t want to see this world get caught up in the battle of the gods again. That’s why I ask you this.”
Thud!
“Nu, Nubis-sama!!”
“Please. I will pay any price, so please… Please help me to prevent this world from getting caught up in the battle of the gods again, and from Eldland disappearing into history…!”
“…”
Because Vilgames was so damn good at me, I was going to get rid of him and this kingdom he cherished all at once… As a revenge, I was going to destroy the kingdom he cherished… What are you doing to deny it? If Eldland, the richest kingdom, perishes overnight, it will cause great chaos in the economy of Atipia.
…Absolutely, it’s not because the back line and back of the buttocks of General Nuvis, who is driving a doggeja into me, are artistic.
