Chapter 643 – The Demon King of Middle-Earth #4
That prediction became a reality.
“Ah-oh.”
From that day on, gates began to appear all over the country, and foreign objects began to come out from within.
Of course, it was possible to respond because there was a human army. In the first place, since the incident happened once last time, I have properly defended myself. He created an army and created various systems to defeat foreign enemies.
But that term was too fast.
Even if they were prepared, the time was too short to cover the entire country.
Small town.
In other words, great damage began to occur in the outermost villages, which were farthest from the big cities.
So I decided to change my strategy.
Gates come out more often than I thought, and a lot of foreign substances are coming out of them. I can’t stop doing it like I do now.
“From now on, I will start the business of fortifying small villages in the provinces!”
“Gyusat!”
“Gyusaat!”
Integrating villages along the area of farmland at all, and boldly closing villages that do not produce young water. Efforts were made to fortify provincial towns to facilitate defense.
“Gyusat! Gyusat!”
Existing villages took the form of building one or another private house on a rather large site and putting a wooden fence around it. This is a very inefficient structure for defensive warfare.
So I came up with a unified standard for the provincial fortified village, and the shape of the village was no different, just like a medieval Chinese mound.
A toru is a cylindrical apartment-like building in which all villagers live.
It’s not enough to boast a very strong defensive power, but it is extremely efficient because it can control the residents at once.
When the gate appears, the farming villagers can enter the fortified village and engage in defensive battles. Since everyone had undergone military training in the first place, they should be able to endure enough, and if they endure, the soldiers stationed in the nearby big city will send reinforcements.
Of course, residents complained a lot about abandoning their own house and living in a cylindrical apartment after living well, but it was a natural measure since they did not know where the gate would appear.
In the future, every village on the frontier will be fortified, and military training will be held annually regardless of gender.
“Kyahahaha! I got it right!”
“I got it right!”
“Kerukkereuk!”
And I, too, periodically dragged the unit along to sweep foreign objects.
At first, as soon as they came out of the gate, they were all eliminated, so there was no chance for foreign objects to escape into the country, but as gates were randomly generated in unknown places, the entire country was infested with foreign objects.
If you don’t subdue them faithfully, they will collapse.
Originally, there was such a thing as damage caused by monsters, but that was damage that occurred according to common sense.
Monsters are also living beings. In a limited land, the population is controlled according to the food chain, and the proper population is maintained by eating, being eaten, and starving.
But these aliens are the ones who come through the gate from the other world. It’s not a guy that belongs to the cycle of the natural ecosystem, but it’s fucking coming out from the outside.
As such, the damage is indescribable.
“Oh my gosh! I can’t have a wedding because I have too much work!”
“I really can’t help it, Buri.”
“Keruk!”
First of all, after I have promoted my competent men, I have given orders to lead the soldiers to circumnavigate a certain area and subdue foreign objects on their own.
This annihilation unit goes around a set route to subjugate foreign objects, returns, takes turns, has maintenance time, and then goes back into battle.
As I went round and round like that, the weddings of my subordinates were delayed one after another.
“I’ll solve it no matter what, so wait.”
“I know!”
What so
I spent a busy time doing system design and civil engineering work. There is good news though. By collecting the corpses of foreign objects and feeding them to the hive, it was possible to create monster bottles.
With this, I’m making a lot of Deathfinds and subjugating the aliens… Thanks to this, demonic facilities have been established here and there in the country, and I decided to think about the problems this would cause later.
For now, while subjugating the aliens, you will have to search for and resolve the root cause of this gate crisis.
“There’s so much to do in Middle-earth!”
* *
They’re coming through the gate.
Gates are held for a little longer. It is created first, maintains that state for a while, and then slowly starts to disappear only after all foreign substances are poured out.
That means there is time itself to explore the inside of the gate.
“Uhaaaaa! Help me!”
“Uhhhhh!”
“Quaaaaagh!”
The prisoners were dragged out crying.
“Noisy. Shut up.”
ㅡChohak!
“Quaaaaagh!”
The Dark Elf female knight whips them to control them. Those prisoners are none other than bandits. The guys who challenged my power. They are subject to elimination.
It is also a resource at the same time.
“Vanessa. Throw them into the gate. Attach a rope.”
“Okay. Now, put them in!”
“All right!”
At Vanessa’s words, the Dark Elf knights grabbed the prisoners by the back of their necks, lifted them up, and quickly threw them into the gate.
“Aaaaa-“
The scream stops as soon as you pass through the gate.
“What are the results?”
I grabbed the rope watching the scene with great interest. Currently, the rope is in a state of being without any breaks or anything like that.
However.
ㅡSuuk!
“Huh?!”
Suddenly the rope was pulled!
“Quickly! Pull!”
“Yes! Demon Lord!”
The moment the Dark Elf knights clung to each other and pulled the rope.
ㅡ Jjuuk!
The line was pulled all the way.
“Woah.”
Bloody… No. A corpse that looked like it had been half eaten by a beast-like being was dragged out. It was the prisoner who was alive just a moment ago.
Next.
“Kiiiii!”
Inside, monsters began to crawl out.
“Sharan! It’s your turn!”
“Char! Yes, Natural? Natural Posda!”
ㅡHwaaaaagh!
When Sharan exerted her strength, a green aura surged and a strong vine stem rose up and covered the gate. It made the perfect prison.
And after opening the vine to make a small gap.
“Demonic Burn.”
I placed my palm on it and radiated demonic flames.
ㅡHwaaaaagh!
The inside of the cage made of vines is filled with demonic flames. Now we also have know-how. Killing these guys is nothing. Even if ordinary soldiers struggle, we have surpassed that level.
Anyway.
The prisoner jumped over the rope.
And in that state, the line was pulled inward, and when pulled out, the body came out. Then, foreign substances came out.
Judging from this point, there is a high possibility that the gate is connected to somewhere in the other world. If there is a gate, it seems that entry and exit itself is free.
At the next test, let’s pick up the prisoner and throw it away.
If he had seen the other side of it, my expectation that he could enter and exit would become a reality. It will be its own progress. The key to ending the Gate Crisis.
“This should be enough. Cut!”
“Char!”
The vines have been disarmed.
ㅡSaaaaa.
Smoke rises with the reverberation of magical power. As I looked, they were all dead. After all, these guys are no match for me.
“Good work, Sharan.”
“This much is easy, Char.”
I put my hand on Sharan’s head who was acting cute and checked the gate.
“Hmm.”
Still remaining.
“Vanessa! Quickly! Throw in the remaining prisoner! This time I’m going to throw it in, wait a little longer, then pull it right back so the prisoner can explain what he saw inside!”
“I get it!”
ㅡPay!
“Quaaaaagh!”
Immediately the prisoner was thrown.
ㅡWoe!
After a few seconds, he pulled quickly.
“You bastard. Tell me what you saw from the inside.”
“Eh, Eek…! That, Gweeeeek!”
What?
“Black, black space…! Big!”
The prisoner lost his mind.
What is this?
* *
A study was conducted based on the collected data.
What is beyond that gate?
There is only consistent testimony that it is a black space.
“What?”
While I was writing it down on paper and organizing it, Karti came and said.
“Culse oppa. Actually, I think this is something that can’t be helped.”
“What?”
“Idiot tribes and angels have been continuously making holes in the dimensional barrier. It seems that they are trying to intervene from an unknown dimension with the reaction.”
“Ah.”
Originally, the dimensional barrier of Middle-earth was hard, so there was no chance for such scumbags to come, but the demons and angels continued to try to break through the barrier, so the barrier became very weak.
“Besides, when you fought the Emperor of the Empire last time, you were connected to the hypocrisy, right? That seems to have driven a wedge.”
The barrier has also weakened, but it is only natural that it is connected to the virtual realm.
“Then do we need to strengthen the dimensional barrier to solve this?”
“Look at that.”
This.
“Hmm.”
It’s difficult.
“Then it becomes difficult to enter and exit the demon world.”
“That’s embarrassing. Culse oppa.”
“…”
In the past, I would have thought about closing it altogether. But not now. Because I need a demon too.
“Then, only hold the passages connected to the demon world and reinforce the rest of the barriers. How is it?”
“That, um. Could it be okay? But demons and angels have already figured out how to weaken the dimensional barrier. Even if they strengthen it, they will still be attacked.”
That’s the problem.
“Then, can’t we fix it from this side as well?”
“It won’t be infinite though.”
“Hmm… This is true.”
It is a complex problem in many ways.
“Still, people are obsessed with the Culse cult because of a powerful foreign enemy. This is a good thing.”
“That’s right. Hehe.”
Yes.
It was originally peaceful, so there was a relaxed atmosphere. However, with the appearance of foreign objects, people clung to the Culse religion even more strongly.
This is a good thing for me
Anyway.
Even in this situation, there will be a corner to use.
