all the struggles (3)
were fully recovered, demons from all over the world gathered in the central continent.
220 million troops of Hell’s army, led by six corps commanders, gathered in the Kingdom of Galon.
220 million.
It was an incredible decline compared to the original army.
“I looked down on apostasy too much.” The ability to destroy the system was creating results that went beyond arithmetic numbers.
Sirone, who destroyed Gaold Gustav, who destroyed the South.
“That guy named Lian is also picky.” Natasha approached Balkan, who was deep in thought with a world map spread out.
“Are you that strong?”
“strong? If strength could be considered inapproachable as such, then…
simply converting it into numbers, there would be no human who could surpass Natasha’s combat ability.
“It’s like the Joker in a card game. Different rules from the existing rules apply. “This is tricky to deal with.”
Sumodo approached.
“Having a joker doesn’t necessarily mean you win the game. Of course, it would be advantageous.”
“okay. And now we have Joker too.”
Habitz was sitting on the bed in the commander’s barracks, feeding a bottle to Deris’ child.
“peekaboo.”
Habitz seemed amazed by the child.
‘A being connected to the law outside of the law. Havitz’s vanishing clearly belongs to apostasy.’
Sumodo asked.
“What are you going to do?”
Now that the Gustavian Empire had fallen, there was no longer a place for them to return to.
“Advance. The central continent is at a critical juncture. “If we just break through here, we can reach Zion via the southern continent.”
By then, the humans would have been roughly sorted out.
The 220 million troops of Hell’s army were reorganized into six corps and began the war.
Thanks to Habitz being tied up for a while, the temple was able to buy some time, but the situation was still running out.
“Commander General! The 13th Brigade has been annihilated! The army of Hell is moving south across the Argant Mountains!”
“The 8th Division is destroyed! “The scale of damage reaches 30,000 people.”
Commanders reorganized the strategic situation board in real time as the news arrived one after another.
Iruki bit his lips.
‘no method.’
It is often said that humans have no limits.
But Iruki realized how arrogant and trivial that statement was.
‘doesn’t exist! ‘There really isn’t!’
No matter where I looked, there was no place to announce victory.
Even a fool could win any battle if he had 220 million demons.
‘Vulcan.’
And the enemy Iruki was dealing with was the best gambler who beat all the ‘people who play card games’.
“I can see it just right. I can see it just right.” Although they haven’t met face to face yet, Balkan seemed to know about a person named Iruki.
Sumodo asked.
“Is this the limit for the temple soldiers?” “no. This guy is a genius. “Honestly, if it weren’t for the crowd, things might have turned around.”
“You must be joking. What a difference in military strength…
Of course, it’s a joke because it’s not reality, but honestly, Balkan couldn’t guarantee the outcome.
“I have a weakness.”
Balkan moved his army on the map.
“The efficiency of war is calculated in terms of human values. That’s why you can’t win. 100,000 lives. Certainly, a lifetime would not be enough to recite their lives… but
six legions formed a radial formation.
“In war, it’s just 100,000. “It’s just 100,000 lives that can be talked about in 1 second.”
Just like putting the pieces into boxes after a game of chess, humans were merely tools in war.
“Now I moved like this. “Then people over there won’t even be able to breathe and will be in pain.”
The 3rd Corps advanced 100 kilometers.
Sumodo shook his head at Vulcan’s bad taste.
“Kkkkkk. “How are you doing, kid?”
Balkan raised his head and aimed at Iruki.
“War is fun, right?” Iruki hit the table with a bang.
“damn!”
Meanwhile, reports were arriving one after another that the temple army was being defeated.
“The capital of Galon has fallen. Casualties are estimated to exceed 300,000.”
“300,000.”
I was delirious from the weight of my life.
‘I’m going to kill you.’ The gray hair continued to grow, and now Iruki’s hair looked almost gray.
“I am I…
It is absolutely taboo for the general to show frustration, but Iruki was already in a state of ecstasy.
“Sir.”
The commander assisting him came up to this rookie and handed him a strong drink.
“Please eat. First, let your head cool down.”
Iruki burst out laughing.
“Drink? “Do you know that the lives and deaths of hundreds of thousands of people depend on my instructions?”
Who would follow the strategies of a drunk person?
“So, drink it.” The commander held up a bottle of liquor.
“If a man with hundreds of thousands of lives in his hands gets drunk just because he had a few drinks, he has no military qualifications.”
Iruki looked back at the commander.
“Sir, your strategy is excellent. No one in the temple can think like you. But… this is war.”
The commander spoke out what was inside.
“It doesn’t matter how many die. If we don’t win anyway, we’ll all die. “The reason Valkyrie follows you is not to live, but to win.”
As Iruki slowly took the bottle, the commander bowed and pleaded.
“Please win.”
Iruki, who was staring at the commander, took the cap off the bottle and took a gulp.
“Whoa.”
You have to become a devil.
‘For the sake of victory…
As my thinking expanded, many previously invisible elements came together in my head.
There was still no way to win, but it seemed like there was at least a chance for mutual annihilation.
‘The problem is time. If I didn’t make it as soon as possible…
I had no choice but to trust Nade.
“It’s been a while, Nade.”
Richard, the chairman of the Ainka Foundation, greeted Nade as he got off the luxury carriage.
To the left and right of Nade, neatly dressed in a suit, were the secretaries of Nade County Governor.
“okay. A lot has changed, Richard of Alchemy.”
Richard shrugged his shoulders.
“Kkkkkk, that was an embarrassing nickname I had in school. Anyway, let’s go. I heard you were busy…
It was an event prepared by Richard to receive investment from wealthy people from all over the world.
The funds required to develop an elemental bomb were astronomical, but the current crusade did not have time.
A situation where work that would normally take more than three years must be completed within a few months.
The only way to shorten time was with money.
“Everyone is waiting.”
As we entered the VIP room of the luxury bar, the world’s richest people were sitting proudly waiting for the two.
“Sorry for being late. “My name is Ainka Richard, and I am the chairman of the board of the Ainka Pension Foundation.”
Nade bowed his head.
“This is West Nade, the representative of Nade Military Industries. i look forward to.”
After each person’s self-introduction, Nade placed various documents on the table.
“As mentioned above, the value of the elemental bomb is strong enough to change the future of humanity. If you invest in the temple, Nade raised his head and stopped talking.
“Hehe! “Just stay still.”
“Oh my. “Don’t be too hard.”
The wealthy people, who had at least two top-class call girls by their side, did not even listen to Nade’s words.
“If you invest in the temple, we will guarantee you a return of at least 1200 percent.”
Nade finished speaking calmly.
They would have reviewed all risks they could through personal channels anyway.
The investment value may be appealing, but the concept of an elemental bomb itself may not appeal to you.
‘Iruki’s theory of elemental decay becomes an innovative technology that can change the future.’
A bomb with power that transcends magic.
When it was commercialized, the vested interests that control the world would inevitably experience a tectonic shift.
said the bald man.
“Ah, is it finished? I listened to the briefing with great interest. So you want to get investment from us?”
“yes. The world is under threat. “Please give your strength for the greater good.”
Of course, it may not work.
“Okay, okay. I know what you mean
. By the way, you are from the Alpheas School of Magic, right?”
“Ah yes. “Yes, but.”
“Isn’t there a singer from there named Maya? “You know, it’s a hot topic among young kids these days.”
A long-haired man sitting across from me joined in.
“uh? Todd, do you know Maya? “I’ve seen it once before, and it was absolutely killer.”
“ha ha ha! Isn’t this the number one idol of current soldiers? Okay, anyway, do you know?”
Nade said, blinking.
“I am a classmate from your school. But why Maya?”
Todd pointed and glared at Nade.
“Can you bring me one? I heard that the subject of a performance agency was a dirty joke. “It seems like you believe in the temple and are being picky, but you should know that doing so will lead you to a goal.”
“Hey Maya, I guess…
“Why is this like this? Good things are good, right? Shouldn’t we help each other and live for the sake of humanity? “If you bring Maya, I won’t be upset with you either.”
At that moment, Nade heard the sound of reason being cut off.
“Oh my god…!” At that moment, when electricity bloomed from his body, Richard stood up and approached Todd.
Before he had time to say anything, he grabbed the bottle of liquor from the table and hit Todd on the head.
“Aaaah!”
The heavy liquor bottle shattered and Todd fell under the chair, clutching his head.
Richard said, shaking off his bleeding palm while Nade watched blankly.
“Does Alpheas Magic School look funny? How dare you touch my classmate?”
Todd pointed.
“You, you bastard! Do you know who I am? Ainka Foundation! Do you think you’ll be okay after doing this?”
“You better make sure you understand the situation. Does he look funny because he’s a singer? Do you know where Maya’s classmates are and what they are doing now?”
The riders that Sirone graduated from are called the golden generation at Alpheas Magic School.
“you you…!”
Todd, who had several characters in his mind, was unable to continue speaking, so Richard went to the door and shouted.
“Nade! let’s go! “What kind of future are we entrusting
to these guys ?”
“huh? “Oh yeah.”
Nade, who had left the high-end bar, grinned and grabbed Richard’s shoulder as he walked ahead.
“Hey, wait. “What on earth are you trying to do?”
“And you? Bald people are lucky. “If I hadn’t broken that bastard’s head, you would have killed him.”
Nade couldn’t deny it.
“What about your hands? “Let’s disinfect first.”
“it’s okay. Richard of Alchemy You know my body, right? Anyway, let’s shake this off. “Those are not the only rich people in the world.”
“okay. “Let’s find another investor.” Since it was Maya and not anyone else, Nade also completely put aside his regrets and walked to the carriage.
“excuse me.”
At that time, a sharp-looking man wearing horn-rimmed glasses approached me with a measured pace.
“Are you Mr. West Nade?”
Nade looked back at Richard and answered.
“yes. “I’m Nade.”
“okay. “I heard through the grapevine that they are recruiting investors.”
“Who are you?”
It may no longer be classified, but very few people knew about the elemental bomb.
“I think we can finance it. “If you have any thoughts, could you please give me a moment?”
Richard asked.
“You’re financing it? “I don’t know what you heard, but it’s not an amount one person should invest.”
“it’s possible. “Whatever it is.” The man smiled and took out a coin from his inner pocket and threw it to Nade.
“This is my business card.”
“This??????
Nade’s eyes sparkled as he examined the coin, and Richard opened his mouth with a surprised expression.
“Geumhwaryun.”
Fermi’s face came to mind.
