Chapter 160 – Eldland’s Capital Power Is the World’s J2!! (4)
“…Dare.”
Puffed up, puffed up. Unable to hold back my anger, I raised my head at the sound of grinding my teeth, and Bilgames, who had taken off the mask of a lofty and noble king, was gnashing his teeth and glaring at me as if he would tear me to death at any moment.
Eldland is the richest country, but at the same time, the only thing it has is money. And no matter how much money you have, it’s meaningless if you don’t have the ability to protect it from those who are after it. That’s why Vilgames had to put more effort into Eldland’s defense. It was necessary to emphasize that his kingdom was not a bona fide bonanza that he could rob at any time, but a mighty power that he could not dare to surpass.
Nubis, the general of the Red Sand Corps, was chosen by the god of the desert to wield blessings and powers, and was the number one contributor in charge of Eldland’s national defense with his well-trained combat skills and excellent command skills. With the full support of Vilgames, Nubis, who made a name for himself by striding through numerous battlefields, was an existence that proved that Eldland was not only wealthy but also a country with sufficient power, beyond simply being a general of Eldland.
A general like that would be defeated by someone from a foreign country?
And it’s not even from masters who have been very famous for a long time, but to a stranger who has only recently started to get rumors?
It was an act that ensured the safety of Eldland so that no foreign enemy dared to cross it, and at the same time destroyed the perception that wealthy people lived in front of them.
“How dare, how dare… In front of Jim… Such an insult…!”
For Vilgames, who had spent a long time making various efforts so that Eldland would not be looked down upon by other countries and putting great effort into strengthening his own country, I would be a madman who suddenly appeared and kicked down the sand castle he had worked so hard to destroy.
So, who suddenly said to send a general? It would have been nice if they had made an appropriate deal while negotiating with each other in a good way.
“It’s a fish name!!!”
But usually those kinds of guys are the ones who take responsibility for what happened because of their actions, not themselves, but someone else. And in this situation, he only has one person to blame.
“Redeem the man who attacked and injured Grand General Nubis right now!!”
“What? No, what kind of bullshit is that all of a sudden? This is a fair duel…”
“The ruler of this Eldland is Jim! And in this country, my word is law! Landfill teacher, Ragna Armageddon! I will order your arrest immediately!”
…What?
“To disobey my words in this Eldland is to break the law! And Rag, Armageddon, you accepted the terms of release presented by the representatives of the seven cities. Excluding the three representative constraints, even one of them was against the law. The moment you violate the rules, your release will be revoked and you will be locked in Skyron’s cage again!”
Hey wait.
“However, my law prevails in this country, so you must be imprisoned in the dungeons of my royal castle before heading to Skyron’s aviary to await your punishment!”
“No, what the fuck is that bullshit!!”
No crazy Among the conditions for my release from the cage of Skyron, ‘Cannot cause harm to others without consent’, ‘Cannot build independent forces and cannot belong to other forces’, and ‘Limit the maximum personal holdings’ Was it really you, Vilgames, who included the provision that the release is canceled the moment it is released? If you try to do something wrong with me, are you going to intimidate me by invoking the conditions of my release?
…Under. Yes, you will come out like that, right? I came here to become a business partner, but after making A and B in a relationship, he tried to exploit me at will, but it didn’t go as planned, so you’re going to do such a dirty and despicable trick?
“Guards! Imprison him!!”
I tried to play the game according to the unfavorable conditions set by you guys, but you guys even thought of such a trick to completely rule out the case of losing yourself?
Jerk, jerk, jerk, jerk.
Soldiers in tan armor slowly approach me with spears pointed at me.
In my mind, I want to blow up all these guards and go back to Landfill after decapitating that goddamn Golden Sun bastard, Vilgameth… But then I can’t handle the aftermath. Even if I remove one of the representatives of the seven cities, the representatives of the other cities will try to exclude me, regardless of the legitimacy of my actions or the dangers of my existence. Even more so if she is a party to the prophecy that the Goddess of Justice is the one who will bring disaster to this world.
Shit, that Justia or something, the goddess bitch I’ve never seen before. It won’t help me until the end of my life. From now on, you are on the same level as Luke in me.
In any case, no matter how cowardly they use means, I must fight only in a righteous way until the end. It’s extremely disadvantageous and unreasonable… But I can’t help it. Because I don’t have enough strength yet.
In the case of General Nuvis, it was a mutually agreed duel, so there is no problem, but the moment I resist Vilgameth’s opinion and harm his soldiers even a little, I become a real criminal, not a falsely accused person.
To be honest, it is my behavioral pattern to give a guy who hates me for no reason why he feels like me, but that is only possible when I have enough strength and rights to act my own way.
Whoever is at fault, first of all, I am the titular leader of an abandoned city, while that other side is the savvy ruler of the richest country.
“Jean Sen. See you later.”
“Teacher? What…”
Before Zhang Sen could say anything, I sent him elsewhere. The eyes of the soldiers surrounding me widened at that sight. However, that was short-lived, and one of the soldiers at the forefront spoke to me as a representative.
“I don’t want to see blood. Please surrender.”
The soldier spoke sternly to me, but seeing the slight trembling of the spear in his hand and his inability to meet his eyes properly, he seemed to know very well that this was not the right thing to do and that he could not subdue me with his own power. Yes, what are you guilty of? If the upper part is black, it should be peeled.
“Lower the window. I’ll go on my feet.”
“You won’t surrender… Huh?”
“Didn’t you hear me? I’m walking on my own feet. So lower your weapon and guide me.”
The soldiers couldn’t believe that the opponent who easily defeated the general surrendered without resistance to the end. But soon the face under the helmet brightened at the fact that he could not suffer the pain of not obeying the unfulfillable orders of his superiors. Anyway, no matter how rampant the author of Vilgames is, he won’t arbitrarily exploit my abilities and plot strange things in the presence of representatives from other cities, so for now I’m thinking of going along with them.
However.
“Why are you lowering your weapon on your own? That man is a criminal. And that’s a criminal who disobeyed Jim. ‘Drag’ him to prison right now.”
At the additional order of Vilgames, who looked at the situation disapprovingly, the soldiers’ faces became contemplative again. At most, the sinners come out cooperatively, but since the author of the king deliberately speaks words to provoke the opponent, the lower end who has to deal with the criminal must be upset.
The outsider who defeated the general is overpowered by Eldland’s trusty guards and taken to prison. By directing that scene, he seems to want to regain trust in Eldland’s defense power from the citizens… He’s a really annoying character.
“I-I…”
“…Yes, something must be wrong with you guys. It’s impossible to do anything because it’s all clogged up. Now, take it with you.”
After removing the gloves from my hands, I turned them around and attached them to my back as if to prove that I had no weapons. Then the soldiers came reluctantly and grabbed my arms from both sides.
Imprinting clearly in his eyes the face of Bilgameth, who looked down at me from above with an unsightly mocking mockery, I was dragged off to the prison by the soldiers.
I came here to make a deal on an equal footing, so you’re saying you’re going to treat a person who came like that?
Vilgames, you will regret that choice.
Because it’s just been decided that the first country I’ll wreak havoc in this Atipia is Eldland, which you love so much.
*
Vilgames has a special power.
The power that comes down to the royal family of Eldland is that the person sitting on the throne can issue any order to his people within his territory, and the people who heard the order must obey it.
It was not simple power, but power accompanied by a kind of shamanistic process, and thanks to this special magic that embodied the power of the royal family into practical power, no one could rebel against Bilgames. A person who seeks the throne through rebellion can only be a person belonging to that kingdom in the end, because the moment the king says ‘stop’, he has no choice but to stop all actions.
“I will pass judgment on you.”
Bilgamesh, who imprisoned me in this cold and narrow dungeon, walked with his own feet into this filthy and dark dungeon and told me:
“Criminal who disturbed the stability of the kingdom by going against my will and harming the general who symbolizes the power of this kingdom. The sentence handed down to you is 30 hours of service.”
“…”
“As a faithful citizen of Eldland for 30 hours, you will pay for your sins by serving the kingdom with all your loyalty.”
The service is crap.
It’s just that he wants to make me a citizen of Eldland so that he can move freely by giving orders. And after I’ve done everything I wanted to do for 30 hours, I’d have my Eldland citizenship revoked from me again, and then I’d put all the responsibility for what happened during that time on me.
He said it as if he was showing great mercy, but in reality, it was no different than declaring, ‘You are now my slave’.
Fuck!
“Ouch…”
When I was struck in the abdomen by a kick that came through the bars unexpectedly, my breath stopped for a moment. Why are you hitting me all of a sudden, you crazy bastard?
“What are you doing? How dare you stare at me with such a disturbing look in your eyes, even though you can’t thank me for my merciful decision. Do you really want to die?”
As the citizens’ eyes toward him disappeared, it seems that this bastard of the golden sun is finally revealing his true colors. Truly, he is a low-level and despicable character, unsuitable for the high position of a king. Pretending to be kind and benevolent in front of others, pretending to be kind and trembling all over the world, then revealing my distorted disposition like this without hesitation behind the scenes. I thought that I would have played a benevolent and humane king until now.
“Don’t forget. You will be treated as a citizen of Eldland for 30 hours from now, and the decision on your treatment will be in my hands. That you can command it.”
“…Whether or not.”
Smile? Wow
Haha… Yeah, is this situation funny? Very funny isn’t it? Yes, laugh hard now
Let’s go and see if you can laugh so excitedly while this country you love so much turns into a sea of blazing fire.

“After…”
Vilgames left the dungeon feeling two opposite emotions at the same time: happy and irritated.
The ability of Landfill’s teacher far exceeded his expectations. That horrifying scene seemed to ridicule his idea that no matter how good he was, he would at best be at least backward compatible with God’s power and divine protection.
The ability of a slack man named Zhang Sen was not so outstanding. In fact, it was because Nubis was able to subdue it with only the power to turn into sand and punches without using a sword or other powers. That level of power was widespread in other cities, so it wasn’t enough to care too much.
“It’s really annoying that General Nubis was defeated in front of everyone, but it’s really painful that the people’s trust in the defense of Eldland is shaken by that, but it’s not a bad harvest even if you take that much loss. Landfill ‘s teacher, now I can handle it as I please.”
The moment the teacher stepped forward in that battle, the situation changed.
Obviously, he used the same ability as the pathetic man who fell in only two shots to Nuvis, but showed overwhelmingly superior utility than the owner of the ability. Looking at his body movements, he didn’t seem to be particularly good at fighting or used to it, but nevertheless, the way he used that mysterious ability in a tricky way and lightly crushed the general, his strongest defeat, gave a big scratch to his pride, but at the same time he knew what he had been hiding so far. It ignited a single, soggy desire.
The strongest of the representatives of the seven cities, guild master Siu Jeong.
The war between the Gentiles and the Ancients, who were behind the gods of two different factions, that Bilgames wanted to end. Bilgames, the most famous hero among the ancients, also put an end to the war, which seemed to continue until there was nothing left in the world, and the damned strangers, who were like the disaster of the ancients, scattering all kinds of power with numerous gods on their backs. Neither.
It was Jung Si-woo who suddenly joined the war one day.
Obviously, since this Atipia was created by many gods, it would not be possible to move only with the power of one god, but as if the whole world was moving for him, all problems were solved the moment Siwoo Jung stepped in.
However, that was not the direction Vilgames had hoped for.
The war was between the gods who abandoned this world and the gods who remade it again, to determine which one was the rightful owner of this world. He worked harder than anyone else to give the world a chance. However, at the end of that effort, a third party who came from an unknown world suddenly ended the long war and divided ownership of the world in half, a rather absurd and futile ending.
This world belongs to those who gave us new life, and we give half of it to those who once abandoned us? With what qualifications was an outsider who had nothing to do with this war?
The other side was also dissatisfied. What they wanted was not a world that was only half of them, but to take possession of this world that was completed again to taste good even though they abandoned it.
The fight between the two forces was forcibly stopped by a force possessed by a stranger named Jeong Si-woo, which was unlikely to be possessed by an individual.
Representatives of the seven cities, so that both sides share the world equally. It’s just that they don’t have the power to complain about it, so everyone is reluctantly pretending to agree. If the guild master Jeong Si-woo disappears, the war will begin again.
And in Vilgames’ eyes, the teacher’s ability was the key to starting the war again and ending it victoriously.
The ability to lightly crush the invincible general, who has the power and protection of a god, and no one dares to oppose in this desert kingdom.
What if I could equip all my soldiers with such abilities?
What if 100,000 proud soldiers of this glorious kingdom of Eldland went to battle, each with one such ability?
In the eyes of Vilgames, a spectacle of more than 100,000 soldiers, one of whom was 0.1 Siwoo Jeong, was fiercely charging at their enemy.
“There must be a reason why that bastard dared to use me as a throwaway. The thing he had been waiting for while sitting in an unwanted position has finally appeared before his eyes, so now everything else doesn’t matter, right? After all, this world is the world you lived in. It’s not even, he must have calculated it based on the silly idea that it doesn’t matter what he does. He’s really a child I don’t like from start to finish.”
Yes. Even the one-man corps, even the same Jung Si-woo, would never be able to handle such a catastrophic large army. It’s understandable why he was so interested in Landfill’s teacher. The power of Landfill’s teacher is a balance breaker that will instantly disrupt this unstable balance of power, forcibly maintained by a stranger with overwhelming force named Jeong Si-woo. If you can handle it at will, it is a great cheat key that can reverse unfavorable situations at once.
It’s a bit coercive, but now that I’ve got him in my hands, I’m not afraid of Jung Si-woo at all. If Sensei uses that ability to arm his soldiers, he can put an end to this pointless and frustrating truce and re-dedicate this world to its true master.
After expelling all such damned strangers from this world, I and my kingdom will achieve peace and prosperity forever.
Hehe,haha!!”
