Episode 108-Survivors (8)
“You mean you’re back already?”
“It is suspicious that he returned after a few days, but he says he returned after carrying out everything he ordered.”
A spy sent back by Varun. Luke, who was now gradually taking over the entire area that Garhan had ruled, chuckled at the news that the spy had returned.
The speed is such that not only Luke but also other subordinates can easily endure it. However, it was unlikely that a spy who had even taken his family hostage would have done his job rashly.
Rather, it would have been more believable to say that they had really succeeded in their work and came in a hurry without hesitation.
“If you’re really worried, I’ll help you this time too.”
“Correction of truth. “It’s a very useful thing.”
The wizard who was watching this grinned and handed something over. The identity of this object, which he has already used several times, is called the Crystal of Truth, a magical object.
It was a device that detected whether the other person was lying.
Luke has found this item very useful so far.
If the spy told a lie under Varun’s orders, he would detect it immediately and punish the family members he had taken hostage by disemboweling them alive.
“They really built a castle. It is a castle taller and thicker than a giant tree. The number seemed to be in the thousands, but there was only one large tribe. The soldiers seemed well-trained and well-armed, and their tribal leader…”
“…”
But not until the spy tells him everything he has seen. The Crystal of Truth did not respond. Everything the spy said was true.
Luke’s expression did not change, and only the people around him were surprised and their eyes grew bigger.
“You just have to go back and tell everything you saw and heard.”
“Well, is that really true?”
“I’m sure Luke won’t punish me for telling the truth.”
It was natural. Because Varun, who recruited the spy, did not order him to lie in the first place.
Simply conveying the facts was enough.
What the Arin people face and create is an unbelievable, lie-like reality. It just conveys it as is.
“I find it hard to believe this is all true, Chief. I think I know why Garhan didn’t touch them. It is too strong to be conquered by a subject in a remote frontier.”
“But at most a few thousand. Two thousand soldiers at most. “With us, we can do it.”
As Varun intended, they fell into confusion even after learning the truth. Even among the commanders, opinions were divided on how to deal with the Arin people, who had entered the realm of imagination beyond expectations.
‘If you want to talk, you can. But what I want is all of this grassland.’
Luke fell silent after seeing his subordinates like that. It was to know exactly what he wanted and do it.
“Gir. I need you to come forward. Combining all the information, it is clear that there is an abundance of materials there, so it is worth conquering. In addition to the expeditionary force, I will give you full authority over this area, so conquer them.”
He entrusted the work with great authority to a competent colleague whom he trusted most and who was continuing to develop his expertise.
It was an order to occupy the Arin tribe.
The warriors who received his orders began to get excited. Because new conquests meant obtaining new loot.
And of course, the Arin people, who were watching closely, also became aware of their movements.
“There will be quite a bit of damage from suppressing Garhan’s forces, but after they get enough rest, they will try to attack us before the joy and enthusiasm from victory cools down.”
War is just around the corner. Varun, who understood their intentions, waited for them inside the makeshift fortress. There was actually some intention in sending the spy back, telling him to tell only the truth.
As the opponent intended to attack first, the Arin tribe, including Varun, had a plan to defend against the enemy’s attack and attack in reverse.
“We built this fortress in just a few days and created tunnels to attack the enemy’s rear. Honestly, I think we can win without difficulty if we bring those from the north as well.”
“We must not forget our duty. “Our real enemies are different.”
This wasn’t even their full strength. When one of the warriors mentioned those in the north, Varun smiled bitterly and shook his head.
Half or more of the troops are currently leaving the village and heading north to block the bugs with the defense turrets.
Varun turned the refugees into soldiers, but left those in the north untouched.
This was possible because I had a strong belief that I could win even if I did this.

‘If we win this battle, we will be able to take control of the area that Garhan ruled. Then more people will gather.’
The central warchief Luke is not the only one who has the desire to expand his power. Varun also wanted to create a larger, more populous tribe.
However, the intentions were different. Luke had an ambition to create a great empire starting from this plain, but Varun’s actions were in line with God’s will.
It didn’t seem impossible. Because we came this far from a tribe of only a few dozen people. Now that we have more and are stronger, there is more we can do.
“Chief. Now the chieftain will also take the position of warchief.”
“That’s right. “There is absolutely no reason for the chieftain to be inferior to other warchiefs.”
The warriors under his command encouraged him to become warchief before the war. It was to show that there was nothing to be defeated and to strengthen internal solidarity.
Knowing the effect, Varun hesitated for a moment. This is because it was unimaginable not long ago.
‘If it’s necessary, I’ll have to do it.’
But he soon nodded. He decided that it would be good for everyone and the future for him to rise to a higher position.
“I will prepare a ancestral rite. “If the guardian spirit agrees, I will gladly become the warchief.”
Varun decided to hold a memorial service to pray for victory ahead of the war. He intended to unite many people, including immigrants, and become a great chief there with heaven’s approval.
‘I have no reason to object.’
He, who was watching it from behind the screen, naturally recognized Varun and gave him his blessing, imprinting its legitimacy on the countless people who watched it.
A sacred object that falls with light from the sky. It was natural for non-believers to be strange.

[File transfer]
I used the file transfer machine to send Varun a necklace with a colorful emblem engraved on it. It was an action I decided on because I felt like I needed some kind of symbol.
“—!”
With countless people watching on the wide plain in front of the wall, Varun, who received it, held it high and shouted at the people.
They trust and follow me, so the person I vouch for has a lot of authority. Varun, who had worked hard and achieved results so far, was fully qualified to become a warchief and more.
Seeing so many people gathered together, cheering and being happy, I didn’t feel disappointed about a few hundred points.
‘Anyway, we end up fighting.’
At the same time, I glanced at the additional monitors installed on either side. They show the west, where Luke’s soldiers will flock, and the north, where bugs have created large-scale nests.
Among those monitors, the enemy was detected on the monitor showing the west. It is a large army that is slowly advancing.
There were so many numbers that the sight of them all lined up could not be captured on one screen.
Even if we were to negotiate, it would not be a negotiation in the true sense if the military was brought in like that. Fortunately, friendly scouts also spotted them and quickly reported the news to Varun.
“–, —.”
Varun gave instructions to his subordinates as if he had been waiting. There was no hesitation in their actions, as if they had said something in advance.
Refugees who did not yet have proper homes prepared to flee inside the wall at any time, and soldiers gathered with their weapons.
Varun divided the already divided soldiers into two. Of course, the main force was placed on standby at a pre-made outpost, and only reserve units were placed in villages protected by high walls, perhaps due to the presence of defensive turrets.
‘Why? ‘Why didn’t they put all their effort into the outpost?’
Throughout the process, I still had doubts about their tactics. I understand their intention to avoid a direct confrontation due to being outnumbered, but I couldn’t understand why they left room instead of putting all their effort into the outpost.
It was as if the enemy had been guided to bypass the outpost and attack the village if they had the chance.
[Riena is concerned about the special operation Varun has entrusted to her. This is because if the enemy does not bypass the outpost, there will be no time for you to step out and those at the base will be in danger.]
I found out the reason by reading Riena’s concerns.
If there was an obstacle in the way, bypassing it seemed to be an easy option for them, and Varun was aiming for that.
‘Then I guess I’ll have to help then too.’
As long as the battle doesn’t repeat for more than a few hours, the only thing I can help you with is Hammer #5 and Chainsaw #1.
It had to be saved and used at the optimal moment.
“–, —!”
As the enemies approached, the residents also prepared for the best strategy.
In order to hone their skills in combat that does not involve fighting on horseback, dwarves who were soldiers were also seen studying and training infantry tactics.
There is also a sufficient stockpile of potions made using Dark Blood’s hunting mode and Creature Hunting’s crafting techniques.
I glanced at the shopping bag sitting next to me. All the glass bottles filled with potions were taken from there. These are items to be ‘delivered’ to Lee So-yeon.
Even after offering me tribute like this, they were stockpiling enough supplies.
The by-products of the bugs pouring in from the north and the craftsmen who learned the craftsmanship to make equipment using them also built large workshops and produced special equipment in large quantities, so most soldiers are already armed with sufficient equipment.
‘What will happen?’
Honestly, I was a little nervous. If you only look at our side, it seems like it’s worth doing, but now I can see the other side as well.
The opponent basically outnumbered us. Of course, compared to the bugs that come in regardless of whether their colleagues die or have holes in their bodies, humans’ organizational skills may be less, but the morale of the enemies does not seem to be bad.
And that wasn’t the only problem.
“—!”
I used a hammer and tried to take pictures of their heads as they approached. Because it will definitely take the lead.
But the moment I brought the hammer down. A bluish force appeared and blocked my hammer in midair.
Although I barely managed to block the hammer and was panting as if I was going to die from exhaustion, [Shaman Fioro], who was holding a staff, was able to block my hammer.
‘I guess it’s not something I’m talking about.’
Having seen some decent warriors block or withstand my hammer, I lamented as I used a chainsaw, which was much more powerful than the hammer, to grind them down.
“—!!! –!”
“–, –!!”
It seemed like I could never let down my guard.
As I watched them screaming and panicking, I prepared coffee and food in advance. I started preparing for my own war.
