Chapter 988,
Chapter 245. The Tomb of Kingelo (1)
May 6, 1804.
Ten days have passed since the Barmal Union obtained the parts for Pivil. However, neither the Bamal Alliance nor the Jeokmyeong Tribe published any articles about him, so people were still talking about the Jeeple and the Jeokmyeong Tribe.
To this day, Ziple has not started taking revenge on the enemy.
Except for the one raid on Barkle by the Alliance, the enemy tribes were not attacked by any force. The enemy seemed to be breathing for a while, having already stabilized all occupied territories.
More than 80% of the continent, which had been the territory of the Lutero Federation just ten days ago, was now owned by the enemy.
“Whoa.”
Piropp sighed and put down the newsletter.
“Pirops?”
“Dad, what’s wrong?”
Boubar and Ainas, who were beside them, looked at Pirops.
“The other day, the captain said that these guys would definitely be the first to organize us.”
“Enemy people?”
“Us?”
“okay.”
The ultimate goals of the two factions, Jeokmyeongjok and Kingelo, are very similar.
To resurrect the sun god. However, the form of the world they wanted to complete through the resurrection of the sun god was completely different.
There was such a difference between the three powers that wanted the resurrection of the sun god, namely the Kingelo Jeokmyeong Sun God Church.
“We have the most information about Kingelo, the sun god, among the existing Inse powers. Besides, as of right now, our war capability is on the lowest side.”
“Are you saying that we are lower than Ziple, which collapsed a while ago!?”
“Bouvard Zipple did not fail. Ordinary people who don’t know well think so.”
“Hey really?”
“Aren’t they ruined!?”
Pirops looked at the two of them while resting his forehead. Suddenly, I wondered how much pain Bishkel must have suffered because of these two guys.
“The heart of Zipple is the tower of stories. We lost a lot of our fleet and troops, but as long as we have the demon stone and holy ground, we will recover it soon. Besides, all of the key characters above superhuman level are fine. Therefore, it is better for the enemy to destroy us first than to finish them off.”
“Not only that, but Jiple also serves as a means for the enemy to keep the Bamal Alliance in check…”
“Wow, Bishkel.”
“Is Bishkel here?”
Bishkel had a more emaciated face than usual.
It was because, as vice-captain, he knew better than anyone the desperate crisis Kingelo was facing. Kingelo was still saving himself after the subjugation of Jito, but he never expected that the enemy would suddenly rise like this.
“What about Margiela?”
“…same. If it seems to be stable, it shows signs of runaway, and Zephyrin-nim manages to calm it down.”
Dozens of strands of hair were smeared on Vishkel’s palm as he brushed his hair. Pirops looked at him with pitying eyes.
“It must be because of the weight of the cause that has been imposed on her. You are in a lot of trouble.”
“The situation is really bad, Pyrops. The captain is trying to make contact with Ganesto, but they don’t seem to have any plans to meet yet.”
Even if they meet Ganestoga, the right number is not guaranteed. He was just trying to propose a deal with the feeling of grabbing at least a straw.
“Then, the only negotiation target left is Ziple… Since the imperial family was destroyed, it would be wrong to use Temar Runkandel’s left arm to negotiate with the Barmal Alliance.”
“However, negotiations with Zipple are also not very likely. The fact that those who lost Draka did not reach out to us first means they read the situation correctly.”
“Then we should try to make contact first, and present an offer so attractive that they have no reason to reject it.”
“If you join hands with us, it should definitely be something that can damage the enemy tribe or the Barmal Alliance, or help you complete the demon stone. The former is perfect for us, but the latter may become a bigger problem when the temporary cooperation with Zipple ends later.”
“The latter has a possibility just by putting this Boubar here. Surprisingly… But as you say, that method is only a stopgap. Hmm, it’s a way to hurt both the enemy and the Barmal Union.”
It was like a dream.
Of course, the Bamal Alliance and the enemy tribes did not intend to attack each other right away. That’s why Simat sent Luna and Eltiott back without killing them, and Jin didn’t start an all-out war even though Luna came back injured.
“The captain said that the power of the enemy tribe is definitely the strongest right now. He was sure that if the Bamal Alliance and the enemy tribes engaged in an all-out war right away, the enemy tribes would surely win.”
“Even though the power of the Barmal Alliance has risen that much recently…”
“Yes, he said it wouldn’t even be a very close victory. Even if the difference in fleet strength, including air fortifications, is too large.”
“It is a pity above all that I do not have time. If Margiela could only control that power, she wouldn’t be so upset.”
While talking about Margiela, Pirops carefully looked at Vishkel. Bishkel didn’t show any displeasure, but it wasn’t a good thing to hear.
Soon, the two of them let out a sigh.
“Dad, why don’t I use my dream ability to properly read the thoughts of the enemy?”
“Now there is no reason to take the risk and look out for the enemy. Because it’s obvious how they’ll turn out.”
“Then what about reading the dream of the Barmal Union?”
“That is also dangerous. They must have grasped our dream abilities. If you don’t care, you can get hit by the Bamal Alliance instead of being hit only by the enemy. If that happens, we’re really done with that day. Even the way to escape will be blocked.”
“Wow, we’re all in town. Then why not just run away?”
“It is possible, but not because of the great cause. If we give up everything and hide, the enemy tribe will surely resurrect the sun god before us. It’s better to try something and perish than that.”
The moment I said that, Boubard suddenly thought of something and, as if startled, swung the Gogu Makrocket like a knife. Debris splashed in the air and landed on Vishkel and Pyrops’ faces, which nearly blew his head off.
“That Philops. And Sir Bishkel! A good idea came to my mind.”
“I don’t expect too much, but try saying it. It’s a mouth that says so.”
“Didn’t the captain say before that Jin Runkandel wants to take out the Myungwang family in a place called Lapla Rosa as royalties?”
“You did.”
“So we figured out the presumed entrance to Lapra Rosa. Kelkel.”
“…The Great Desert of Mithra?”
Vishkel said, erasing the intent to kill.
“yes! The Great Desert of Mithra. Why don’t you try using it?”
“So, what do you mean, Buvar, let’s leak that information to the enemy? That Jin Runcandel will take the Myeongwang clan out of the Great Desert of Mithra? Then, naturally, the enemy will first check the strengthening of the Barmal Alliance, not us?”
Bishkel’s answer made Buvar frown in disappointment.
“Sir Vishkel seems to have been a wise man, but somehow…”
Bishkel seemed to faint from the rage that had risen to the top of his head, but he showed patience and waited for his next words.
“If you do that, the enemy tribe won’t be able to bite the rice cake right away, right? Would they believe us so easily?”
“That’s right, Bishkel was really stupid just now.”
“…Then what do you mean, Buvar?”
“We are pretending that there is something great about the Great Desert of Mithra and showing our obsession!”
“what?”
“In fact, it is also half true. In the past, Ranke-nim tried to summon the old grand dukes of Pandemonium there, but it ended in failure after being beaten by Jin Runkandel. Anyway, if we do that, the enemy will be curious about what we are doing in that desert dump, and the Barmal Alliance will be annoyed with us just like the Barmal Alliance.”
“Oh Bouvard.”
“It sounds like the perfect move for two forces to kill us at the same time.”
The moment Pyrops answered that, Vishkel shook his head with a surprisingly shocked face.
“No, Mr. Pirops… It’s annoying, but it’s not without reason.”
“Are you serious, Bishkel?”
“yes. If we follow Boubar’s words, we will naturally be able to summon the enemy tribes and Barmal Alliance to the Great Desert of Mithra. Then, naturally, tension will arise between the two and it may lead to a fight.”
“Hmm….”
“Above all, if Lapla Rosa is definitely hidden in the Great Desert of Mithra, Jin Runcandel can’t get over it properly. You won’t be able to get rid of the feeling that the enemy must have noticed something about Lapra Rosa, not us in the first place.”
“Bishkel is smart again!”
“Let’s just say it’s all thanks to this Boubar leading Bishkel-sama well.”
Despite seeing Ainas and Boubar laughing and clapping their hands, Vishkel didn’t get any more angry. It felt like a really unexpected solution had appeared.
“In the process, the enemy tribes will surely find out that Jin Runkandel is obsessed with the Great Desert of Mithra. Therefore, the enemy clans have no choice but to invest that much force.”
“If you’re lucky, the enemy tribes and the Bamal alliance may engage in an all-out war in the Mithraic Desert…?”
“That’s right, Mr. Philops. Of course, it is an extremely high-risk adventure. But if successful, we can buy what we need most: time. In addition, we can expect that the Barmal Alliance and the enemy tribes will be weakened at the same time.”
Pirops thought for a while.
“I don’t think it’s a matter for you and I to decide. When the captain comes back tonight, I’d better ask him about it.”
“That’s right, Mr. Philops.”
As night fell, Orgal returned to the new headquarters and nodded as soon as he heard Boubar’s plan. With a refreshing expression as if the old jam had gone down.
[Don’t do that. It’s obviously a risky gamble, but there’s no other sharp edge anyway. Besides, from what I hear… it’s almost guaranteed to succeed. Because Jin Runkandel is obsessed with Lapla Rosa’s brothers, and the enemy tribes are most wary of him.]
“I couldn’t understand why I was missing this number until now. A move that even a disgusting idiot like Bouvard could come up with… When can we start executing it?”
[It’s too late after the enemy moves to attack us. We have to start right now.]
The members of Kingelo looked at Bouvard with admirable eyes for the first time in a long time. Boubard couldn’t see their faces because he was playing rock-paper-scissors with Inas in the corner of the conference room.
