Episode 181. The Collapsing Frontline 4

An assassin who kicked the seat of the Anlair also goes around killing veterans due to their poor treatment.

It didn’t take long for the rumor to spread, because it was true.

And here the people cursed the Datang leadership instead of the assassin Hulu.

“They said they would do anything if we won the war, but now they don’t even let us have children!”

“I knew that she was a disabled person who couldn’t even have children, but I gave birth to her anyway!”

“So she became immortal, now she must suffer forever!”

“Are you going to do us right? No? Go out and die, Ol Chaun! Go out and kill Liwaduwan!”

It is safe to say that everything was in turmoil. It was a wartime situation. Everyone was a soldier, big or small. The fact that they had gone to such lengths to win the war and that they were not treated well after all, finally caused the people of Datang to explode.

“We have to kill Hulu.”

“To be precise, we are not killing them for disobeying orders or to bury our sins, but because they are murderers who kill innocent people.”

“Who kills is a different question, though.”

“Echakado?”

He is a hunter and a good tracker. Paron Echacado is tight-lipped about this matter, but then says something.

“Now let’s really end the war. To be more precise, let’s just negotiate peace and end it.”

“!”

Liwaduwan is very uncomfortable to plant.

“For perfect security… … .”

“I know. Perfect security isn’t a bad thing. But Liwaduwan, we follow your judgment in war, but it’s not because you’re always right, it’s because you’re the most capable.”

“… … .”

“What the hell is this? When Hakan cried the other day, to be honest, I half agreed with what Hakan said. I just wanted to end this war ‘even if it was a ‘rough loss.’ However, I agreed with your judgment because it would be difficult if a rough loss caused a bigger problem later.”

Echakado says so and shrugs his shoulders.

“But right now, I want to ‘win roughly’ and end the war. Of course, you don’t have to accept my opinion. However, since we are in a mess, other countries are in a mess too. I think it’s time to wrap things up.”

“Actually, I agree with all of that. I’m just afraid of the future.”

“Everyone hates war.”

“It wasn’t a war we started in the first place.”

All the Anliers agree. The problem is Liwaduwan’s judgment.

Liwaduwan’s judgment was that, in fact, there was still more war to be waged.

‘But… … That was when I had the will to go to war. Now, morale is at rock bottom, and I’ve lost my justification. Even foreign countries are in disarray. The current situation is the right time to raise an army, but conversely, if I raise an army in the current situation, I could suffer a crushing defeat.’

The decision was quick. Liwaduwan nodded thoughtfully.

“Good. Then I will try to negotiate peace. After I finish this matter, I will step down from the Dakkerutang position.”

“Hehehehe~!”

Will things be resolved that easily?

Again, the end of the Age of Faith is defined not by great wars but by battles with disease demons.

The current war, and the rapid population decline, were all caused by the disease demons and their allies.

And finally, the ‘reverse demon’ that will end the era of faith also comes from their hands.

They succeed in reducing the world’s population by 10% in nearly 250 years.

-It’s still not enough.

But that’s what they say.

By the way, the races on the ground are really mistaken. The disease demons don’t disappear just by destroying their huge forms and killing them. Even if you tear them apart, their cells still absorb the magic and live like soft blobs.

There are so many disease demons scattered throughout the world. You may think you have killed the disease demons, but in reality, they are just in the incubation period.

They communicate with each other by transmitting signals using the magical power of the surroundings and the life force of the host they parasitize. When they send a signal into the universe, the universe integrates it and sends it back down.

-It’s too early to win.

-I didn’t think that the Datang would collapse even though I attacked it so much.

These people also didn’t calculate that Datang would hold out. The moment any country captured Datang, civil war would break out, and at that time, they planned to unleash the diseases and the most dangerous Hanjutamal they had planted in Datang and annihilate the main forces of the world.

Next, they planned to use the ruined Datang as their new territory and cover the entire world with their cells.

But Datang held out by wiping out 85% of its population. Now Datang’s population is just under 200 million. You can only say they are crazy, but they managed to cover the five fronts and pushed back, so their plans were all messed up.

-What is the world population?

About 200 million

The Luca Empire, Vulcon and Eron combined, 25 million.

Bapan Tab is 10 million.

The East is 25 million

Go A-ran is 15 million.

Baccarat is 5 million.

This is a rough estimate. These are not exact figures, so there is a lot of variance. It is roughly 280 million, and it is likely to be less or more than +-10 million.

The fact that the Datang population is 200 million can be confirmed from their family register, so it is at least 200 million.

-There’s too much tang. Even after killing so many, there’s still a lot left.

-Considering that half of the population is Nono and Borin from the Shuzor region, it won’t be easy to finish it off in one go.

-It’s really too strong, excluding the uncounted population of other countries.

But it would be even more difficult if the war ended. If the war ended with inflammation, the world population would rapidly increase again, and the disease tribes would be eradicated whenever they appeared.

That had to be stopped. The disease demons and demons were thinking of ways to turn the situation around.

While I was unable to think of anything suitable, someone spoke.

-Wait a minute, things are getting weird here. It feels like the war will never end.

-What? Why? It’s a war that’s already over.

The demons who relayed the situation let out what could be called laughter.

-There’s one last struggle left. Let’s just give it a little boost.

Wars usually start stupidly, start stupidly, and end stupidly.

The Imjin War, which is constantly cited. The motive for this war, objectively speaking, was that Toyotomi Hideyoshi was crazy due to delusions of grandeur.

Things seemed to be going smoothly, but at that moment, the greatest and strongest admiral in the history of the Earth appeared in Joseon, and things were absurdly blocked.

The reason for the ending is also absurd. In fact, both the subordinates and the Ming Dynasty wanted to make a peace agreement, but Hideyoshi thought he had won the war and recklessly demanded more, which caused another war to break out, and then Hideyoshi just died, so the war ended abruptly.

But I want to ask this. Was the subsequent fall of Nazi Germany any different? Hitler, who had told the German people that there would be no surrender, committed suicide and it just ended in a haphazard manner. Japan fought a war that really didn’t work, and kept making mistakes that really shouldn’t have been done, until it was hit by the atomic bomb and surrendered.

Dramatic victories exist in battle. Victory in war is not dramatic at all. They just fight and struggle until the end, killing innocent citizens and the leadership trying to avoid responsibility and denying reality, and when the sword is pointed at their necks, they just surrender.

Why is this happening? I think it’s because people tend to turn away from uncomfortable realities. Wise people who face uncomfortable realities usually don’t wage war wisely.

Great people who decide to go to war are usually so obsessed with the outcome of victory that their brains go crazy. Even if they lose, they don’t admit it.

In reality, you only realize it after you’ve blown everything.

In that respect, Sun Tzu, who wrote The Art of War, truly saw through the essence of war.

If all the rulers of the world had properly read the Art of War, the number of reckless and foolish declarations of war would have been reduced by 1/10.

Unfortunately, the god of war here kept it to himself and did not teach it to others.

The best person in the world, who could be called neutral, took it upon himself to be the messenger of Datang and conveyed a request for peace negotiations and talks to the invincible and the heavenly realms.

“This is Datang’s proposal.”

-An offer to the invincible one-

First, the Erron and Vulcon regions belong to the Luca Empire.

Second, Datang has ownership of all the coasts adjacent to the Mediterranean Sea and their ports.

Third, Datang provides medical care and seeds to the Eron region, and the invincible one hands over ownership of the new armor.

-A proposal to Cheon-gyeop-

First, you may keep the cattle you stole and the current territory.

Second, Bapan Tabb will be held accountable for the war and will now pay an annual indemnity of 8,957,952.

Third, Datang provides medical care, plant seeds and veterinarians to Beiyang.

Fourth, resume trade without tariffs.

To put it bluntly, it’s a proposal along the lines of, ‘I won, you little punks. But war is annoying, so I’ll spare your lives.’

But the best in the world says firmly.

“If you do not accept this clause, I will have no choice but to join the war and end it.”

Rather than saying that I want Datang to win, if the war must end, it would be better for Datang to win. It would be better to have a clear superior relationship and ranking than to have a vague peace.

The reactions of the invincible and the celestial beings who received that offer were polar opposites.

The invincible one was extremely angry, and Cheon-gap declared in an extremely cold manner to disappear.

On the surface, it seems that way because you have an eye for your subordinates. But what is the inside story?

In fact, neither the invincible nor the celestial are fools. Now, they know that this war cannot be won with common sense.

However, there is no benefit to not accepting peace negotiations and continuing the war. Datang will just wait. Until their national power overwhelms them.

And until we can truly, completely and definitively destroy their nation.

But surprisingly, the choices of the two rookies here could be said to have been either diametrically opposed or overlapping in the same direction.

“The Luca Empire is now under the greatest threat! The blacks of the South are targeting our Luca Empire and trying to destroy this land and the home of the Erins! I will say this. Then I will dare to take off my human skin! I will protect our race!”

The Invincible One uses the power of the divine armor to begin modifying his body, or in other words, the genetic code that is embedded in his race even as a new human. And the soldiers who follow the Invincible One, who firmly believe that if the Invincible One loses, it will lead to the extinction of Erin, follow in his modification.

This is the revival of the other demon. The invincible one, who was now in a form that could not be called human, let alone Erin, resembled the appearance of the evil demon god that he had defeated before. The strongest monster he had ever seen.

With a desperate determination to protect their race even if it means becoming a monster, the invincible and the alien army march south. Since they cannot win with common sense, they try to win by using unconventional means.

And the thousand-year-old kalpa draws a different conclusion from ‘common sense cannot win’.

“If there is a world I cannot have, I might as well destroy it.”

The new king Cheon-gyeop leads his soldiers who are prepared to die and crosses the sea to Datang.

Now there is only one goal.

I will cause the third great spread of Hanjutamal. I will destroy Datang by spreading the legendary devil’s disease.

What is truly astonishing about these two ways of thinking is that the devil’s trickery did not interfere at all, not even a little bit, in the process of this series of thoughts continuing.

Considering that the polar demons, Penkant, and the underground demons, Enrakisho, are now treated as just another human race, perhaps the distinction between demons and devils is nothing more than a cultural and arbitrary distinction.

To avoid losing what you have achieved, give up yourself.

He is determined to destroy the world, even if it means losing what he has gained.

This is the final struggle of the demons. If they can endure this, Datang will truly win.
