Episode 157. An Era of Nothing but War
Thanks to the work of Liwaduwan, the Luca Empire became the patient of the West. This was a great opportunity for Cheon-geon and Baek-kan.
“Let’s go invade the West!”
“Eron will now become the second Baccarat!”
The invincible one will have a hard time blocking this. They probably won’t be able to. The invincible one and the invincible army will have to form a defensive front in two places at the same time.
The only good thing is that their rule is better than the destruction caused by Liwaduwan.
In short, if Cheon-geon or Baek-kan had ruled the Luca Empire, it could have been very hard-line, or it could have been a rule of second-class citizens who were subtly discriminatory… … .
In any case, it would not have massacred civilians or destroyed the Empire’s capabilities.
Because the goal is ‘conquest’. However, Datang had no intention of conquering the Lucca Empire.
So, by sowing the seeds of civil war, ‘it would have been less brutal if they had massacred 100 million people’, and conversely, by letting the real seeds be eaten by demons, they completely exhausted national, regional, and ethnic capabilities.
Even the strongest and most invincible player in the world would not be able to withstand being beaten from both sides. Internal rebellions, low morale, and low productivity are also problems.
What saved my life was that the armies of Cheon-geon and Baek-kan suddenly retreated.
“Is this God’s protection?”
No way. It’s for a completely different reason.
The Iyakans declared war, denouncing Cheon-geop and Bae-kan.
The King of Mystery and the West have no relationship whatsoever. But I have heard the news.
She thought that if left alone, the West would be swept away and a great empire would emerge that would take over all of the West. That was probably true. Erin would be annihilated, and there would be an eternal struggle with Baekkan for a thousand years.
“Fighting is not good. Why are you so cruel to those who are suffering when you can’t even help them?”
“Is Iyakan crazy?”
“I knew those lizards would do that!”
Anyway, south of Baekara, the Iyakans of Iyakoro are moving north, and Goaran’s army is crossing the mountain range and poking at the back of Cheon-geon. They even attack the eastern plains, which are the most vulnerable, instead of crossing the mountain range in cooperation with the East.
It’s embarrassing. It’s really embarrassing. Cheon-geon is going west on an expedition, so he sends his regular army to the east, and the new people called Immortal Corps, the King of the Extinction, appears in person to deal with him and fiercely attacks the Baekara region.
In the end, the thousand-year-old army retreated. The Baekans also gathered together to stop the King of the Mysterious City, as they needed more willpower. The King of the Mysterious City simply maintained the standoff and gave the invincible man breath.
“Why are you doing this? What does this have to do with Erin?”
“It doesn’t matter.”
“Then why! Why not just leave it alone!”
“No. We must save all the poor beings. There is no reason for any race to be discriminated against.”
It is a truly blood-curdling statement, but later historians have evaluated it this way:
“So, the land called Goaran has mountains above and rivers and swamps on both sides, so it has really good defense, but it’s not easy to expand.”
“In particular, for trade with the outside world, a sea route must be opened, and for trade, it is very difficult to cross the mountain range even with dragons, so in the end, a land route must be used, and in that case, a weaker eon is better.”
“In other words, Goaran is in contact with the South, North, and East. Due to its nature, if it becomes strong, whether it is a nomad or a Baekhan, it will not be able to survive properly.”
“It has nothing to do with the West, but conversely, because it has no relationship, the West is holding on to its lifeline and maintaining tension, which is good for Go A-ran.”
“In short, the King of Myeoldosung was promoting humanitarianism while actually doing what was most beneficial to his country. That’s what we think.”
In fact, although the character of the King of Mystery is excellent, there are many interpretations that say that his actions are calculated.
In any case, because of this, the advance of the thousand-year-old and the expansion of the Baekhan have stopped. At least, it is impossible to send an expeditionary force far away.
Then, let’s turn our gaze.
Cheon-Gae-Ra decides to attack the East. They haven’t hit for a while, so they should hit now to be somewhat threatening.
The Baekkans decide to retreat and attack the chaotic Dimanang region.
At the same time, Baekkan, who has no business in the West anymore, heads north to drive out Cheon-geon, and Cheon-geon’s army heads south to devour Baekkara.
A double-sided battle is being fought simultaneously. It is a very difficult situation for Datang as well.
“The King of Myeoldo wishes to attack Baekkan for humanitarian reasons and requests Datang’s support.”
“… …Why are you attacking?”
“Well, whatever the reason, I think it would be best to accept it. The Baekans hate us, but the Iyakans are our friends. In order to secure sea control and stable trade routes, we must maintain good relations with the Iyakans.”
Something feels off. I feel like I’m getting caught up in someone else’s war…
However, Seiwamuyu Choyoundo said that he should naturally participate in the war, and since he actually had a good relationship with the Iyakan, he participated for now. He only provided supplies as humanitarian aid.
On the other hand, there was some bad news.
“There is a rebellion in the Dimanang region!”
“Huh?”
“They say that there is nothing to be seen of the Datons who drove out the invincible one, the apostle of God.”
“This… … . Is it true that the world is still 15,000 years old and that this kind of faith is still accepted?”
“Oh, that… … was corrected along the way.”
“?”
“It’s not 15,000 in Erin’s decimal system, but 15,000 years (*14,040,000 years) in the cosmic mathematical system of sexagesimal. But it’s distorted because Erin uses the decimal system… … .”
“… … But that’s still ridiculous. Aren’t the primordial gods hundreds of millions of years old? And what do you mean the world is flat?”
“That is, it is interpreted as a doctrine that the landmass covering the world, not this world, is square… … .”
“I’m going to go back.”
This is how religion is. You have to keep adding something to justify your nonsense.
But because it was difficult to prove immediately, monotheism survived. For them, the fact that monotheism could heal them was the greatest proof that the doctrine was correct.
“It’s a bit much to occupy the Dimanang region by force, so let’s go there and negotiate. We’ll give medals to the capable ones and treat them as Datang people. Oh, and let’s send more pure-blooded people to increase the proportion of mixed-bloods.”
“Yes. All right.”
It’s confusing. The world is full of war. The 65 years of rule by the invincible rulers have turned the Dimanang region from being under Datang’s direct control into a frontier like Seiwamuyu or Kiamor.
In the Eron region, the Erins fought endlessly over the Black Bishop and the Monotheistic Faith that Liwaduwan had left behind, as well as their appearance, bloodline, place of origin, education level, and so on.
The bloody battle between Cheon-geop and Baek-kan, the bloody battle between Iyakan and Baek-kan, the bloody battle between Iyakan and Cheon-geop. In a harsh situation where wars are waged on all sides, Baek-kan, although not winning, uses the Immortal Squad that never loses to occupy the central area surrounded on all sides, and holds on steadfastly. In fact, he even pushes them back.
Cheon-geon made the mistake of touching the East and destroying the only and most important granary in the North Yang.
Instead, the East becomes a wasteland for Cheon-geon, and Cheon-geon enters the East Imperial Palace. Even though the best in the world stopped Cheon-geon, he was trampled by the quality of the military.
It is a time of chaos and war. People have no idea whether the land they live on today will be theirs tomorrow. As the rulers fight, the common people consistently take a cynical attitude, saying that they will serve whoever the ruler is as their master, so please do not touch their fields and families.
In the meantime, the religions that spread spread and permeated the thousand-year-old nomadic empire, the Orient, the Lucca Empire that still maintains its identity, and even the Baekara region, causing confusion.
In the age of faith, faith is becoming increasingly important. Ultimately, in a time of confusion, in an age where we don’t even know who is in charge, the existence of a “ruler who will never change” becomes important.
The heavenly bodies and their representatives, Manum Lapang.
God, the Creator who created all things.
The Mysterious Way religion, which claims that anyone can shed their shell and attain enlightenment.
Eastern Confucianism focuses on the philosophy of reality rather than such metaphysical beings.
In addition, there are religions of demons. There are also traitors to humanity who believe in them.
Such religions have gradually become more solid, and now everyone is a devout believer in religion, befitting the name of the Age of Faith.
There are some migratory birds who stick to the winning side, but they all change their religion to suit their ruler, and later change their ruler because of their religion.
The Second War of the Age of Faith is full of such sporadic wars. And they lasted for 200 years. In the end, the Invincible One could not endure the decline of the Luca Empire and fled to the far west, Vulcon. In the empty space, Cheon-geop and Baek-kan stepped in, and war broke out again.
The people of the Dimanang region, who had been keeping the monotheistic faith, also invaded Eron across the sea, saying that if the Luca Empire were to fall, they would be its successors.
In this time of constant chaos and all that is said is who is at war with whom, in the western region of Datang, a bold voyage is planned.
This is Kiamor. It is a land that was once called ‘Jor’. It is the land of the mixed blood of Baekkan and Erin who traded with Datang.
Most of them are surprisingly Baekkan. They have a sense of kinship with Baekkan, but in a racial sense, culturally, and religiously, they are completely Datang.
One of the old Baekkans of Kiamor was a superman. He had already obtained a second-class medal, making him the highest-ranking person in Kiamor.
A second-class medal means that you have fulfilled two of the three conditions for becoming an Anlair. First, you have fully realized the great mystery of martial arts, and at the same time, you have diligently believed in the Celestial Cult and accumulated celestial magic power to become a saint.
All he lacked was greatness. He wanted to become the Anlaier and the eternal governor of Kiamor. To do that, he had to do something great.
“I will explore the west!”
“Hmm? The west is… … .”
“Yes. It is known that there is only sea. However, when we calculate the curvature, the polar region is much further west! That means there is a high possibility that there is new land in the west as well.”
“Hoo… …. I might die if I go that way.”
“When I return, I will accomplish great feats! I will name that land after myself and become Jazanraier, standing next to Choyoun and Deatang!”
How far can you go with ancient navigation technology? Use the mysteries to build a great ship, and gather great ships that will explore the west and return even if they die.
“Even if we get shipwrecked along the way, we’ll swim and see the westernmost part!” (This was possible because the ship had a cabin that could breathe underwater.)
“Hiyahhoo!”
They set sail, and, amazingly, they actually set foot on western land!
“Oh. So there are Iyakans living in the western lands?”
“The furry ones look a bit like the Iyakans of Pencant… … . I think they’re a different species.”
They enter and are welcomed by the natives.
and.
they.
I see.
“Ewwh …
“?”
They see them inside and run away naked and return to their hometown.
“In the west, in the west, there live these unspeakable monsters. They are so hideous that it is impossible to describe them.”
“This… … . But this is a great achievement!”
He is a great navigator. He is called Kiamor Orolan. And he swears that he will never go west again.
Meanwhile, the invincible one also set foot on the land they visited around the same time, fights for a while, and then returns.
And ‘they’ in the far western region, realizing that the world is wide, decide to go to the vast eastern land.
Since they couldn’t go to Datang because their technology wasn’t up to par, they decided to cross to the east via the more convenient northern route.
“Oh, my. What are those bumps on your arm?”
“Huh? Ah. Castle Lorenz. I think I got this from the western region. It’s not getting better easily.”
“I’m asking because adults don’t get sick. Can you check that for me?”
“… … ?”
The disease demon tribe, considered the worst of the demon tribes, recognized the continent.
The Age of Faith enters its final stages with this event.
