Episode 170. Time to Burn the World 3
The defeat of the East was, strictly speaking, predictable.
Out of the 100 attacks that were made all over the world, Datang was able to handle 85 of them. So, the West, North, and South succeeded in making Datang attack only one place.
Then, let’s reduce the offensive a bit, from 100 times to 50 times, and instead, let’s pour all 50 times into the East.
There was no way it could be endured. The national power of Datang was not even twice that of Dongyang. Of course, there were two new people, and the country’s systems and organization were all in place, but it was not possible to handle it.
Fortunately, the Tocha tribe had a large population, relatively advanced medical care, and low magical power pressure, so they were able to hold out for a while. In particular, they were able to receive cooperation from Penkant, who was in the ‘Far East’. After all, they didn’t want the world to end.
The problem is Goaran. This place has high magical power pressure, and unfortunately, the population is not that large and it is not developed enough. The disease demons know this and they persistently target the Iyakans and beat Goaran, eventually succeeding in eating more than half of that huge landmass.
The only area that was protected was the northern region, where a strong defensive line was formed, centered around the Myeoldo Seongwang, covering about 1/3 of the country, starting from the rivers and mountain ranges.
The Disease Demons and the Space Demons could not defeat even one King of Annihilation, so they had no choice but to stop at the level of devouring 70% of the country.
No matter how good the King of Myeoldo is at diplomacy, this is not something that can be resolved through diplomacy. In a situation of transcendent national crisis where no foreign country can help another country, it is fortunate that we have saved at least 30%.
If no one helps, the disease will spread rapidly, starting with the orphaned orphans that have been devoured, and then the world will end.
So in the end he had no choice but to come.
“Reka!”
“Hehehehe!”
All cold rain has descended. The spirit cavalry force that swept away Baekara has come charging forward.
All Chaun and his elite soldiers, riding in the palanquin of Onlu Dobang, arrived at Goaran, sterilizing the germs and flesh of the huge, hideous, and malicious disease tribe.
“All right. Did you come to save me?”
“We’re allies, so should we just leave him alone?!”
“No. Thanks to them, this orphanage, the East, and the world survived. Let’s uproot them.”
“What about Enrakisho? That kid has to come.”
“Him? Why?”
“Reka! That kid didn’t keep his promise!”
The King of Mystery enjoyed conversation, and he knew that he could communicate with the Disease Demons, but once he joined hands with the devil, it was over. The Disease Demons were not interested in conversation, but rather in devouring the world.
Anyway, we found common ground.
Together with All Chaun, the King of Mystery, the best in the world, Enrakisho who was beaten and dragged from the underground, and Penkant who settled in the Far East, they formed the ‘Eastern Front’ and fiercely drove out the disease demons from the East.
This period lasted a whopping 36 years.
The strongest card in Datang, All Chaun, was tied to the East for 36 years in a situation where he won all of them in a terrible way.
In other words, the martial law that squeezed the people lasted for almost 50 years. That’s enough time for newborns, parents, and grandparents to all consider martial law to be normal.
That terrible time. The map of the world had definitely changed. The changes in the West that had occurred while the new people of the world were tied up in the East. And the war terrain in the East was also changing rapidly.
Let’s check it out for yourself now.
All Chaun, Myeoldo Seongwang, Cheonha Jeilin. There are three new people like this.
Datang Oram, Muarong, and Shingeom. Three companions of equal rank.
I drank one Enrakisho.
Even with the 7 Divine Powers of this world at their side, it wasn’t easy to defeat the Disease Demons in the East. It might have been easy if they had completely destroyed them.
However, Goaran is a land where people must live. Datang Oram could not reduce Goaran to ashes. The King of Myeoldosung and the best man in the world could not cause such destruction. Because it was their land.
And although the land of Olchaun was someone else’s, in order to secure a definitive victory in the war, it was necessary to recapture the Goaran region and receive supplies from there.
Territories had to be expanded slowly, and they would not be expanded unless they were securely protected.
Meanwhile, the produced materials are sent little by little to the Baekara region to support the Baekara front.
“Oh no. It looks like there’s another big trouble in the East.”
“You have to trust the best in the world.”
“I should go and see for myself.”
“What? No! Then who rules this country?”
“I believe it. It will come true.”
“?!”
Suddenly, he became the ruler of a foreign country that was not in his fortune. Some historians say, “At this point, Go Aran became part of Datang.” However, after Ol Cha-un woke up, he explained, “That was just the King of Myeoldoseong giving me the reign while he went to the east to save me.” This made things ridiculous.
Anyway, All Chaun, Myeoldo Seongwang, and Enrakisho fought desperately in Goaran.
All Chaun is an incarnation of fire that can burn down any powerful demon.
The King of Mystery is a national guardian who can protect the people no matter what kind of demons run wild.
Enrakisho operates in the underground realm, gathering information and extracting life, soul, and magic from the bodies of powerful demons, turning them into resource mining sites.
“Hey. You’re the best in the world. You’re not going to tell me not to use my necromancy on them, are you?”
“… … .”
There seems to be a strange current flowing. After all, it’s been almost 1500 years since the appearance of the underground demons and the polar demons.
It’s probably been quite some time since other rookies have already upgraded the ratings of Enrakishona and Penkant from ‘Majok’ to ‘barbaric foreigners’.
The heteromorphic demons have also disappeared, and now it seems that the only real demons in the world are the disease demons and the space demons.
Since the two of them hang out together, the term ‘Demon’ in people’s perception has changed to refer to that hideous tribe.
Goaran succeeded in recapturing the islands after about 35 years, except for a very small number of islands. Some say it was fast, others say it was too slow. Instead, the King of Myeoldoseong rewarded Ol Chaun with one thing.
“Take this person.”
“what?”
“We also have primordial gods. It is said that the power to manipulate their creatures was originally the power of the old gods.”
“so?”
“Here, I will send one of the ancient gods who wants to go to the continent of Olsojora. This person will be able to improve the seeds of the continent of Olsojora.”
“!”
It wasn’t like they were doing nothing for 36 years. Even back then, Datang was trying hard to improve plant seeds, but they had reached their limit. But somehow, with the help of the gods, they succeeded in increasing production from the original 100 to 2-5, to around 15-30.
It’s still a miserable productivity compared to before, but it’s better than nothing. All of this is a hasty return.
The times were dire for the Baekans, but the opportunity for a reversal came as soon as they became slaves.
“All the chauns have retreated!”
“Take back our land! Baekara is Baekan’s land! Literally!”
But it seems like they forgot that there is still a Liwaduwan in this area.
Originally, he had planned to return immediately, but due to the disaster at Goaraan, Liwaduwan remained in Baekala.
From now on, the words that this land will be controlled by the Iyakans are meaningless.
Liwaduwan suppresses the rebels harshly, controls the intelligence of the region, and thoroughly enslaves the Baekkans.
Complete enslavement is not just complete tyranny or submission. It is suppression by force, and when force is weakened, it leads to rebellion.
True enslavement is when the slaves themselves are proud of their chains. Liwaduwan controls the Baekkans in a completely different way than they were used in the previous days in the Luca Empire.
First, the first generation of Baekkans who were directly responsible for the war were given infinitely harsh labor and oppression.
Second, the young Baekkans who were not responsible for the war, specifically those who did not have the right to vote in their system, were thoroughly educated to emphasize how wrong their parents were and to make it clear that they were not responsible.
Thirdly, if these young Baekans are well educated, they are given rations and treated well, and when they grow up, they are given medals appropriate to their rank, just like Datang, and are treated like real Datang people.
Fourth, they are not allowed to go to the military, but the system is set up so that military medals are much higher grade than the civilian medals that the backroom workers receive.
“Isn’t this a bit strange? Cheon-geon is now attacking the Baekara region, and we have to sacrifice our lives for Baekan?”
“What a pitiful adjutant. Just wait. Something interesting will happen in just a little while.”
Actually, something funny happened. Around the 18th year of the Datang Emotional Period. When the children born during the Emotional Period were about to become adults, a riot broke out in the Baekkan region.
It was a riot demanding the same rights for themselves.
“Give us a chance to join the military too!”
“That’s right! Besides Iyakan and Daton, give Baekkan a chance to go to the army and receive a medal!”
“Liwaduwan! We cannot be treated like this because of our parents’ fault!”
Fifthly, when the Baekkans begin to feel defeated and rebellious again, they change their desire from ‘expulsion of the Datang’ to ‘complete joining of the Datang’. And as if they have lost, they even allow ‘some special Baekkans’ the right to join the military.
And soon the sixth stage will be reached. ‘Give all Baekans a chance to join the army and devote themselves to the Datang.’ This will be even more so when Olchaun returns.
“You little brats! How can you fight for Daton, who enslaved your parents?”
“Huh! All our parents gave us was poverty and subjugation! If that’s the case, I’d rather work somewhere better!”
“Our old monarchs who started the war recklessly and were defeated are still being skewered and displayed. Do you want us to end up like that? We will fight for Baekkan, in Datang!”
“Oh my. These pathetic things!”
Now that this generation is middle-aged and old, there will be nothing left for the Baekkan people other than the Chinda Tangpa.
This is complete genocide. Baekkan will be reduced to one of the ethnic groups existing in Datang. Well, they will be treated as if they were Datorin from the Gigard tribe. If they are lucky, they will be treated as if they were Lulmo… … .
The Baccaneers now fight not for freedom and rights, but for survival.
however.
“… …Mother. Father. I’m sorry. But we don’t have the strength right now.”
A son who had been arguing with his parents outside comes home crying.
Yes, freedom and rights have disappeared, and we are now in a situation where we can only eat the food they give us.
But still, there is pride. There is pride. Even the Liwaduwan could not completely trample on this proud race.
“Wake up.”
One of the Baekkans, who acted as a sectarian, prays to a crudely made replica of Baekkan. I don’t know if this is the right way to worship them. But I do know.
Waiki is real. He fought against the fire incarnation, Ol Chaun, in the past. The Baekkan lords serve him, and all Baekkans died to join Waiki.
“Great warrior Waiki, save our people… …!”
Religious freedom was prohibited. However, that did not mean that religious aspirations were suppressed. Liwaduwan thought he was thorough, and indeed he was thorough, but he underestimated their pride.
Their monotheistic and polytheistic national beliefs were treated completely separately.
The two were rather merging into one in a culture that was completely destroyed.
Even if you suppress it for 36 years, and no matter how many medals and awards you give it, it will explode when the opportunity arises. The tumor is steadily growing in the stomach.
