Iron Blood Conquers Expansion 813

Chapter 813 – The Night Before the Battle-3

Jiha, who fed Monica and obtained information, broke up for now.
The next destination was Karaleba, and the basement organized his thoughts as he went.

‘Epic’s army will arrive soon. There was no scouting report, but it’s probably within a day or two.’

Wordsland’s fight is over within ten days, even considering the variables.
Then Epic’s military action will also be known in the next day or two.

‘Let’s do military action for now…’

The basement, which was walking, looked up at the sign. A succubus with black bat wings was descending.
It was Yura, a modest beauty with red hair.

“I’ve been looking for you, Mr. Jiha.”
“Why are you not working?”
“Ah, Sarasa and the other sisters are doing it for me. I’ll stay by your side for a while.”
“I’m going to meet the pirate empress right now.”

The pirate empress, Giselle, had a lot of grudges.
So if she has a grudge, she doesn’t have to accompany her.

“… Oh, can I wear it too?”
“I’m not going to sleep, I’m going to work.”

The basement said so and walked.

“Follow me, let’s get information.”
“Yes!”

Yura laughed happily and stuck next to her.

The Pirate Empress’s ship, Karaleba, was anchored far away from the camp.
It’s a ship that turns the surroundings into the sea, so we have to keep our distance.
But even if she didn’t have the ability to create the sea, the pirate empress would have to stay outside of Jin.

‘It’s a grudge…’

There were a huge number of people who had gathered under the basement, who were not on good terms with each other.
Excluding the old affiliations of Blue and Purple, old grudges and feelings of this and that were scattered all over the place.
But most of them were emotions based on race.

“There is no woman more widely hated than the Pirate Empress. Because she really kills and kills at random.”
“… Oh, right. She heard that several of her older sisters also passed away.”
“Don’t you have a grudge?”
“It happened before I was even born, so it doesn’t really come to me. And since Mr. Jiha took it, I think it’s okay.”

When underground turned around, Yura smiled shyly.

“No matter how violent you are, Jiha-nim will take good care of you.”
“I’m going to see if that’s possible now.”

The underground spoke briefly and stepped into Karaleba’s sea.
Wrap her ice flowers around her feet to freeze them and move on.

“Oh, right. Don’t talk about what I’m talking about with the pirate empress on the ship. Don’t tell anyone.”
“Yes.”

Yura smiled softly as he flew low next to the basement.
Her face seemed to be pleasant, so she asked the basement.

“Why are you laughing so much? Are you having a good day?”
“You’re with Jiha.”

Yura looked at the basement with a warm gaze.

“It hurts her heart because I haven’t seen her often lately. But now, I am very happy that I can be with you even for a little while.”
“Yes, I am very happy too. I want to do dirty things, but it’s a pity that I don’t have the time.”
“… Really? Just give me five minutes.”
“I’m kidding.”
“… Yes.”

As Yura became sullen, Jiha smiled.

“What is 5 minutes? Even five hours feels short when I’m with you.”
“Yes? That…”
“I said I like you.”
“…”

Yura shut her mouth as her face turned red.
As he becomes more and more adept at dirty work, he is very shy and clumsy at such conversations.
You haven’t changed from when we first met.

“…”

Jiha looked back on the past time.
Having obtained vampiric magic, he worked, dominated, plotted, and defeated the enemy without rest.
The break time was about hugging a woman, and even that was mostly for a purpose.

Now is the final battle.
Words Land is over when the Underground and the Red Union lose here.
Epic will burn all life in the name of creating a new world.
Even inside the Red Union, people who know this fact have counted it on their hands. Because everyone doesn’t know Epic’s true intentions.

If you lose this battle, all life will die.
Not only his own life, but the family and brothers he left behind are all burned.
Are you going to tell me this?

The basement was still weighing this.

“… Jiha-nim, what do you think?”
“I thought it was 10 hours instead of 5 hours.”
“… Thank you.”

Yura was at a loss for what to do, then lowered her head.
With a very happy response.

As she got close to the boat, the basement pulled out her wings. For Karaleva, it was easy to use her special ability because she was not a ship equipped with equipment to climb on.
Yura smiled broadly as he rose alongside the underground.

“… Jiha’s wings are the same as mine.”
“Are you okay? I like it too.”
“Yes, I am very happy.”

Yura suddenly couldn’t take her eyes off her underground wings.
As she tried to answer, the basement shut her mouth. There was a woman standing on her deck.
It was the pirate empress Gisele Arcana, a woman wearing a navy cap and navy coat as usual.

“You’re alive without despair.”
“Is that your greeting?”
“When I open my eyes, I despair. Still alive Despair even before going to bed. You are alive today.”

Giselle replied cynically.
At first glance, it sounds like nonsense, but there is an atmosphere when a beauty who looks sickly thanks to her light dark circles speaks like this.

“Today, unlike usual, there is less exposure.”

It was not the bikini and skirt fashion Jiha used to see, but a light shirt and pants.
The coat is also a light beige background with gold embroidery, and the design is different from the usual.

“Because it is docked. And you should change clothes according to your mood. I’m not an idiot like you who only wears a red coat all the time.”
“This is military conquest.”
“You mean you don’t have a sense of plain clothes?”
“…”

The underground was seldom speechless.
She was only thinking about work, so she didn’t care about clothes. Of her subordinates she could care about, none she would dare to advise such a thing to the underground.
Instead, Yura got angry.

“What do you think you know? Chiha-nim is the coolest when you’re wearing that coat!”
“I know that practicality and functional beauty were emphasized, but I can’t expect it anymore because it’s the same outfit every time I see it. If you’re going to meet someone anyway, you should give them anticipation of what they’re going to wear. It is hopeless.”
“If Jiha is more handsome than he is now, there will be more women, so no!”

As Yura raised her voice more, she was dumbfounded.
But Yura was really offended when she glared at the pirate empress with her wheezing.
The pirate empress laughed and looked down into the basement.

“Are you an innocent and cute lover? I wish. We don’t have much time left, so why don’t we enjoy ourselves?”
“That’s what a desperate and lethargic guy like you would do.”
“…”

The Pirate Empress shut her mouth.
When she was really on the verge of dying, she tried to live by calling even the Lord of Death, which was disgraceful and bitter for a pirate empress.
She revealed her purpose for coming to the basement.

“Tell me how to become a god. Iroha told me to listen to you.”
“… Yes, you were from another world like a god.”

The Pirate Empress narrowed her eyes and glanced up and down the basement.

“The conditions are complex, but… What did Iroha say?”
“Elyos, idiots, Witches, and Legends. I want to hear from you.”
“Yes, exquisite… So exquisite. Underground Demon Emperor.”

The pirate empress crossed her arms and was lost in thought.

“Where should I start talking? Just ask straight forward. You already know the difference between Unique and Legend, right?”
“Uniques have infinite magic power, and Legends exercise control over space in addition to that. Of course, the special abilities of uniques are much better than normal rares.”
“Then what is the difference between Legend and Epic?”
“It’s difficult to compare because there is only one Epic… It will not be immortality. It is highly likely that it is a racial characteristic or a unique characteristic of Amarilla.”

The Pirate Empress nodded her head slowly.

“Yes, the answer comes right away. What distinguishes humans from gods is divine ability. In other words, it is also called authority, divine ability, or divine authority.”
“Tell me specifically.”
“The gods gave strength to those who followed them. Do you know what this means?”
“…”

It sounded very simple, but it was a story that could never be ignored.
The basement looked straight.

“God can make those who serve him stronger.”
“Yes, specifically, what kind of authority it is is divided according to the realm of that god. For example, the power of the Night King was plunder. He took life from others, turned it into magic, and shared that power with those who followed him. That is the beginning of the Demon Emperor.”
“Are you similar?”

If you are killed by the Pirate Empress, you become the army of death. And even if you are killed by the army of death, you become the army of death.
In other words, isn’t it a story that the pirate empress also has power?

“… I did something similar but different. I was granting limited power only after I killed it. It doesn’t serve me, and that phenomenon is also a kind of power that I control the space.”

So it wasn’t that the army of death had that ability, it meant that the pirate empress would create such a space.
Although the result is similar, the principle is different.

“Amarilla can’t do that. He can’t buy only himself and make those who follow him immortal.”
“Yes, she is epic, mythical, but not a god herself. It’s a no-brainer no matter where you go.”

Still, given that she made a quadruple, she had limited success.
Jiha thought about it for a while, then suddenly said.

“So if Epic gets her hands on the regalia, can she touch the realm of the gods?”
“You should see that. And…”

The Pirate Empress spoke after dragging her horse for a moment.

“Iroha’s idea is roughly like this. Me, the Snow Queen, and Cheonho gather together, and the three legends simultaneously exert space control and drive it towards you. How you accept it is up to the Witch, the Elyos, and the idiots to figure it out… Anyway, if you rise to the point where you can stand up against the gods, the Red Union army will grow into a new army that fights with your authority.”
“…”
“… Yes this is definitely awesome It’s probably a much better plan than the Lord of Death I was planning. An army protected by a new god and the power of a god!”

A blush appeared on the pirate empress’s pale face.

“If you do this well, you can even catch an Epic!”
Seeing that she was uncharacteristically excited and delighted, it seemed that she did not yet know about her dimension collapse.

After thinking for a moment, Jiha said.

“Why didn’t you come up with this idea?”
“Because I am not from another world. As I said, this is a method that requires qualification before being strong. You know that Epic is not a god itself, right?”

The Pirate Empress said coldly.

“Only those from another world can obtain the power. No way… Was the Summoning War fought for this?”

The pirate empress looked surprised at what she had said.

“She seems to have been a concubine.”

It seems that Cheonho vaguely had such a purpose.
It’s easy to say, but there were too many elements needed to become a god.
The three conflicting legends, in addition, had to win the cooperation of the rival Elyos and idiots, as well as the cooperation of the wandering witches who were scattered.
You can’t miss out on just one of these.
Like the underground Red Union, it was only possible for a gigantic power that encompassed the entire world.

“… Okay, the odds are grim, but we cooperate.”
“Is that so? Then start working now.”
“What can I do?”

The Pirate Empress said with a swollen face. She was bright for a woman who always spoke of despair and despair.

“You should be number two in Red Union.”

Until she heard what the underground had to say.
