Episode 278 – Siege Net (8)

“A weapon capable of annihilating an airship fleet.”

“That’s right. According to the testimony of those who witnessed the scene from afar, when the entire fleet, including the flagship, was cut in half by the incredibly powerful artillery fired from the ground, a monster with black scales flew in from beyond the distant sky and exhaled its breath to eliminate the remaining fleet. They say they did it. “It all turned out to be true.”

“Hearing it said like this, it is truly absurd and absurd.”

After hearing the report, Orca burst into laughter. The problem was that the report delivered by the palace butler was absolutely not wrong.

He knew that too, so he just laughed and didn’t deny or question anything.

“Is God’s influence really this strong?”

The culprit behind all of this was the sky god that Eden worshiped. The essence of magic engineering created by the Empire, the airship fleet is powerful enough to literally destroy the board at this point.

However, Eden came up with endless means to overturn that power at once.

Orca ignored it, saying that even if a real divine being helped them, he could only exercise his power in that small area, but he never thought he could help this much.

“Tell me. Is this really possible? Even if he is a god.”

He looked back at Renia, who was active as a saint in the Church of Light.

“…It is not impossible, but it is true that there is a difference compared to the record.”

Lennian spoke based on facts. It is true that in the past, those called gods provided various support to those under their care. But that support had limits.

However, they did not know that the times in which the gods lived, their status, and their wealth were different. The gap in time, which was several decades by the gods’ standard and over a thousand years by theirs, was the difference between heaven and earth.

“So, do you acknowledge that the god who appears in Eden now is stronger than the gods of the past mythical era? “You who uphold the legacy of those gods?”

“I can tell you with certainty that this war is not God’s will.”

Rennia did not back down and glared into Orca’s eyes. She was the one who brought the cults in in the first place. Even though it was the church’s choice that she fell for the offer and became hostile to Eden.

It is not God’s will. Orca’s eyes twitched at those words.

“I never believed in God to begin with. Because it didn’t matter whether I believed it or not. They’re already gone, and all that’s left is a part of their legacy of strength, so why should I trust them? A great war breaks out and we are the ones who save this world!”

“But the God of Eden is different. You must ultimately fight and win against that god to achieve your mission.”

“Ha.”

His ambition to unify the entire world into one order. In order to achieve that, we must defeat the divine being.

Orca’s eyes trembled as she faced that fact. He was a hero who rose to the position of sword master who mastered the ultimate meaning of the sword and everything about the sword, but in the end, he himself was just a human being.

‘Don’t be funny. I will definitely do it.’

But he did not give up. If there is an obstacle, break it down. Whatever it is. This was his belief.

“Anyway, as a result of this war, we also lost control of the southwest. The troops that had been on standby in advance were sent to the vacant Kingdom of Delos, but the elves would not stay still. “If it became a disputed area, we ended up being surrounded from above and below by those who called themselves the Federation.”

“This is ridiculous. “A man who shouted loudly that he would unify and take over the continent at any moment.”

“You should shut up the nonsense and come forward for the sake of our collective plan.”

That night, Orca secretly communicated with someone using an unidentified, unique tool that looked like a basin for holding water. The target of communication was not from this world. The orc in the demon world was floating on the water in the basin, smiling.

Orca reacted like a knife even when the Orc sarcastically criticized the Orc and forced the Orc to step forward.

“It’s already moving. I’m looking for the location by opening gates here and there. “You can pour in as much as you want.”

“It looks like the internal arrangement has been roughly completed.”

He chuckled at the orc’s response. In fact, the reason it hasn’t been sorted out yet is because it was the same for both the continent and the demon world.

At least the power struggle on the continent is becoming a war between the Empire and the Alliance, but even though the Demon World has been sorted out, it is still divided here and there and fighting wildly.

“Rather than finishing the cleanup, I promised to throw away the prey. All are good methods. I like being able to get rid of annoying guys who will struggle until the end, and they can conquer new places without having to fight me. “Of course, it’s up to you to dispose of them later.”

“If you keep your promise, I will also keep my promise.”

Orca mentioned a promise to Orc. A promise to join hands and help each other become leaders of each region.

Orca joined hands to fulfill his beliefs, and Orc joined hands to ascend to the position of Demon King he desired.

Through the convergence of various disciplines, the things we have secured so far, such as rapidly developing magic engineering and stable resource supply, were created in this way.

“Please notify us of the schedule properly. If the hands don’t work together, the effect will be reduced. “Let’s rise up all at once and wipe them out.”

Orc terminated communication first. Orca just stared at the empty surface of the water.

It was already a publicly known fact that the Empire had joined hands with some of the Demon World forces, but the fact that the leader had a mutually beneficial relationship with the Demon World to the point of coordinating military activities was still too early for the world to accept.

***

“A guy who can see what’s inside.”

Rudgar, the Orc warchief who was once the commander of the Demon King’s army and ruled over the entire Orc species.

After ending the communication, he openly snorted.

Neither Orca nor Ludga, who once fought sincerely to kill each other, did not trust the other. There is no such thing as trust or emotion in diplomacy. They just joined hands based on a thorough profit and loss calculation to face the cold reality.

“Still, the opposing forces will gladly accept it, saying that if it is a justification to invade the continent again, it is better than fighting our allies to the death, so this is the best result for us.”

“You are right, Ur. “I was lucky.”

Rudga did not deny his subordinate’s words. He was lucky.

When the countless demons in the demon world were divided by race or clan to fight, he led the largest force and merged them one by one to increase his power.

Of course, there were many enemies. However, Rudga trampled on all of those enemies, and in the process, heavenly luck followed.

Unidentified parasitic bees attacked the opposing party’s territory and devastated it, but contact with Orca, who was seeking hegemony on the continent, was a secondary matter.

The greatest fortune is that I obtained the gate-opening ability, which is the lost power of the Demon King.

It was the power that changed the course of a war that would end in an unanswerable war of attrition.

If all the opposing forces are now pushed to the continent, or more precisely, to the alliance forces that are Orca’s enemies, the loser of the demon world will be Rude himself.

“What happened to the research on the hero’s power?”

“It looks like they are still researching it, even though a group of top scholars have gathered.”

Roudga chuckled and changed the topic. Warrior. At those words, the orc named Ur who was reporting his eyes sparkled.

“It is clear that there is a secret to the power of those hunters. “He has already seen the test subjects.”

“Tell them to hurry. In the future, when they and we have unified our respective worlds into one. In the end, wouldn’t we have to fight one more time to become a true winner?”

Opening the gateway to Earth and kidnapping the hunters is also their work. The purpose was to learn about the warrior’s power, as Seunghyeon had already predicted.

“It looks like that Orca is also very interested in heroes.”

He muttered, recalling the past. The last moments of the Great War. The moment when the Demon King finally dies and the winner of this war is decided.

Of course, both the injured Orca and Rud were there. At that time, Ludga, who was unable to hold a weapon due to an injury, watched the Demon King’s defeat with eyes of disbelief. To be honest, he couldn’t help but remember that he was in a critical situation where he too would die.

“The hero was strong. Even against the Demon King, in the end, I won ‘without even getting hurt at all.'”

“But I don’t understand why Orca is now coveting the hero’s power. “Isn’t he the one who attacked the warrior with the Demon King’s sword that he couldn’t even use and inflicted a fatal wound on him?”

“That guy is a crazy person with a needlessly strong will. He is a madman It’s probably because the hero, who has become stronger and more important than himself, doesn’t move as he wants, but I don’t really want to know the exact reason. “He’s that crazy, so he must have acquired that skill.”

He shook his head at Ur’s words. He was the corps commander of the Demon King’s army, and even in his opinion, Orca was someone who could not be understood.
