Episode 58. Slowing down the flow of time 3

The balance of the war between the Shujor Alliance and the Iyakan tribe actually tilted heavily in favor of the Shujor Alliance.

The reason was simple: the supply of the Shujor Alliance was infinite. How was that possible?

Diplomacy is also a skill in the international community.

“Sob, sob. Great Mainirons of Datang. Our Shujor Alliance is running low on food to reclaim the territory stolen from the wicked Iyakan. Could you please send us a little more?”

“Uh······. Well, I have to help my family······?”

Liwa and Deata are prostrating themselves deeply. The Mainirans are at a loss due to the excessive prostration.

In fact, it wasn’t a small supply even by the standards of the datang, but supporting it for 17 years wasn’t that long of a time considering the time constraints of the Minnie Runs.

The constant influx of supplies for 17 years has led to a frenzied population growth, and an army armed with powerful weapons and mystical powers has been created, which eventually engages in a mad battle against the dragon legions of Iyakan, eventually driving them out and allowing the Shujor Alliance to truly take possession of ‘Shujor’.

“This jungle now belongs entirely to our Shujor Alliance!”

I also received some Tang. I received the corpses of dragons summoned by Iyakan, and the dragon’s heart, and I repaid them with spirit stones, supplies, and skills.

It wouldn’t hurt them either, since the Shujor Alliance didn’t have the technology to process dragon hearts.

One generation has passed so far. There are four generations left until the Shujor Alliance confronts Datang.

However, support for Datang is cut off at this point. The reason is simple.

“You’ve found all your territories, so there’s no need for further support, right?”

The reason was very simple. Datang had no intention of waging a war to exterminate the Iyakan tribe.

War is abnormal in the first place. Datang has only fought one war so far.

However, the second generation of shoots has successfully established itself. The Patchar tribe is undergoing a generational change.

The generation that was beaten by Daton has become the elderly and middle-aged, and now the main characters are the teenagers and children who watched their grandparents and parents suffer.

The second generation of the Patchar tribe learns the grudges of their grandparents and parents. Especially the first generation, who are still elders who experienced the war, reign as Liwa and Wajin.

The Borin people, who never forget anything, also seem to have changed a lot over the generations, but it seems like nothing has actually happened.

The task of the second generation is to protect the territory that has been expanded, and to further expand and prosper. Fortunately, they faithfully inherit the task that the first generation passed on.

There’s not much to say about the history of this part. We can just skip over it quickly.

One thing that is particularly noteworthy is that the population growth of Patchar is a bit more than Borin had expected, but it is a minor thing.

The Shujor Alliance is now in its third generation. The Patchar tribe, objectively speaking, does not have a very long lifespan.

The first generation is all dead, the second generation is middle-aged and elderly, and now the main force of the Shuzor Alliance is those who were not born at the time of the war or were very young.

They still understand the teachings of their grandparents and parents. They understand that this is a time to build up strength for a major counterattack against the Datang.

However, they had to fight against Iyakan, who had acquired a new mystery called Yongsimbyeong.

If they had been victorious up until the 2nd generation, the 3rd generation of the Shujor Alliance was a close fight with Iyakan. They fought against the dragons with legendary power and the dragon heart soldiers who could easily defeat ten people with sorcery, spirits obtained from Datang, and Borin’s overwhelming numbers.

It seems that only the merchants Lulmo and Daton are the ones who benefit. The number of Borin tribes is smaller than expected, but it was not intentional. It was just unavoidable to fill the troop quota.

The Patchar tribe comforts Borin. Borin also realizes their sincerity and does not protest.

Now, the generation that was directly attacked by Datang is either old or gone. The leaders of the Shuzor Alliance, Liwa and Wajin, have no ill feelings towards Datang.

However, they have not lost their aggression, and they are not stupid. They accept the opinion of the Borin Deatas. They say that Datang is an enemy who will invade someday, so it is still time to stock up on strength.

So when Iyakan, who had been confronting them from the south, advanced to Datang through the northeast, they did not stop him. They also refused Datang’s diversionary operation and retreated.

What can you guys do if we don’t help you with your stomach?

Why don’t you come and set some fire?

A truly conscientious and ignorant bastard.

For the past 100 years, we have received everything we could in food, materials, technology, and manpower, but we have not helped at the most important moment.

At this point, there’s already a rift between the Datang and Shujor alliances. I guess they’ll have to fight properly in the next 5th generation. That’s what they’ve been saving up for so far.

“Now, when the next generation arrives, the time is ripe. Let us strike the northern region with the power of the Shujor Alliance!”

“Of course. Now let’s hit it big!”

Patchar was filled with dreams of taking over Datang. It was finally a war worthy of the name. It was time to take revenge on his ancestors.

But here something unexpected happens: internal strife.

Borin seemed to have expected it to some extent, but he didn’t seem to stop it.

After five generations, many of the Shujor Alliance members have already forgotten their grudges. In comparison, the number of people who favor Datang has increased significantly.

“We don’t want to fight Datang! As a Liwa of the Shuzor Alliance, I will cooperate with Datang to make our southern region even more prosperous!”

“Is Leewa crazy?! Why did we create this alliance?”

Ironically, the opinions of the vote, which were thought to be a minority, were split so evenly that it was ‘as if the Borin tribes had colluded to balance things out’. In the end, the Shuzor Alliance split into the Western Alliance and the Eastern Alliance, and the Eastern Alliance split into the Northern Alliance and the Southern Alliance in Generation 6. The Western Alliance was split into three pieces.

Eventually, the Shujor Alliance grew so well that it split. It fell apart in the 5th generation, fell apart again in the 6th generation, and finally unified in the 7th generation.

“Borins! Support our alliance!”

“No! We must support our Western Alliance!”

“Just a little more power to the Northern Alliance!”

“I promise you more!”

Only the Borin tribes are a bit more generous. They still ‘seem to aid division’ while ‘actually preventing a complete split’ between the various alliances.

It was Borin’s great diplomatic skills that sealed the deal in the 7th generation.

This divided situation did not bode well for other tribes in the South either.

On Earth, apes are concentrated in Africa, with the only exceptions being Homo sapiens, which are spread all over the world, and orangutans, which live in Southeast Asia.

This is probably because the first apes appeared on the African continent. In this world, humans who started on the continent where Datang is located have spread widely, so only five races, Erin, Baekan, Bark, Tocha, and Borin, live on other continents across the isthmus, and the entire world, while four races, Daton, Patchar, Nono, and Lulmo, exist on this continent.

Considering that there is a completely different species called Iyakan, the diversity of species is quite impressive.

Other tribes that have not yet achieved civilization include the Lullmo and Nono.

When the Patchar were pushed north by the Iyakan and eventually came into contact with the Daton and started a war, these were the people who protected their territory and lived well while the Iyakan and Patchar fought fiercely.

These were a bit of a sad situation, because they didn’t form a nation.

If they go to Datang, the Shujor Alliance is blocking their way, and if they want to build a nation, they don’t have the military power or the mystique to match theirs. They lack strength.

Are they just going to decline like this?

It wasn’t as expected. There are people who come to them and ask to be friends.

“Lulmo people. We at Deart would like to support you and help you form a strong nation. Are you interested in a world where Lulmo and Borin live together?”

“Nono people! We Borin people consider you cheerful people as family. Our bodies are similar, aren’t we? It would be nice if others could know about your good points······.”

It’s late to say this, but maybe Borin’s wave isn’t over yet.

It could just be that the second wave came late.

The Lumo tribe has several factions. Although they mix with each other, their physical individuality is quite distinct.

It can walk on two legs, but usually walks on four. It is smaller than a Gigard, but bigger than a Tocha. Its strength is such that it can tear apart a Daton’s body with just its grip strength. In the case of a Patchar, it is possible with a little effort.

And they are completely herbivorous and polygamous.

They have a decent intelligence, but is it because they are herbivorous? Or is it because they have great brute force combined with a gentle nature? Instead of developing civilization, they just live in small groups.

Their main role in the South is to trade with each tribe. The Patchar do not trade with the Iyakan, but they do trade with the Rulmo.

The polygamous Lulmo tribe also has a subtle relationship with the Iyakan, who value family ethics. However, due to the nature of polygamy, there are men who cannot meet women. They become merchants, trade, become rich, and live by gathering women to join their harems.

They were rather delighted to see Iyakan helplessly pushed back by Patchar.

Because the trade route with Datong was opened, many people visited Datang. They brought back their goods and traded. Some even went as far as the Great Forest to ask to live there.

But then, when Iyakan launched a fierce attack and threw the south into chaos, the merchant race could not help but suffer.

“Brothers of Lulmo, it seems that the conflict in our land is getting worse.”

“The Borin tribe also provides us with weapons and strategies. What do you think about their opposition to the Shujor Alliance?”

“Hmm. I don’t want to get involved in a war. But it would be stupid not to protect yourself.”

The Lulmos eventually allied with the Borin. No Lulmos joined the Shujor Alliance. They simply accepted some Borin as small workers in their community and helped them on their journey.

The Lulmo tribe is too afraid of the Shujor Alliance. They are gentle, but they cannot stand being invaded by their territory. Even if their arms are cut off, they will grow back if they have magic power. The Lulmo tribe prepares weapons and grows bigger to fight against the advance of the Shujor Alliance.

Such a passive response allowed them to hold their own territory and survive when the clash between the Shujor Alliance and Datang actually occurred. Rather, they were able to live more enthusiastically through trade. It seems that it was a good idea to include the Borin tribe’s laborers in the group.

The Nono tribe is similar in physique to the Borin. The Nono tribe is slightly larger and more similar in appearance to the Daton.

The Nono tribe, unlike the Rulmo tribe, are a cheerful, emotional, and highly intelligent people with a promiscuous sex life, living a leisurely, pastoral life of climbing trees, eating fruits and insects.

The reason this is possible is because they are the only southern race that can almost certainly survive a single attack.

Could it be said that the entire race is similar to Marech’s constitution? It’s not that they don’t die at all, but they generally don’t die or suffer.

Therefore, if the Hanjuta language spreads widely, that place becomes the territory of the Nono tribe. No matter what, the Nono tribe is still human, so they don’t intentionally spread the Hanjuta language and take over their own land······. Because of this characteristic, the vast majority of tribes could not even dare approach the Nono tribe.

In the end, the Nono tribe lived as the most uncivilized tribe on the continent with a very unique culture. This is also one of the paths that civilization can take.

“Oh? We’re pregnant?”

However, what was unexpected was that the Nono tribe could be mixed with Borin? Even with Daton. The Nono-Borin even had the abilities of both races, such as average intelligence and immunity to one-week damage in the second generation, and increased intelligence and speed in high-magic zones.

The problem was infertility. Nono-Borin hybridization does not occur very often. It was a very sensitive issue for the Borin people. And for the Nono people.

Nono-Datun is a mixed race······. This side was similar to the Bark tribe. On the contrary, if the mother is not Datun, then she is either infertile or stillborn. When born, both male and female mixed races are fertile, but sometimes infertile.

However, since both are sexually free, Nono-Datun hybrids occasionally increase. In the distant future, when an extremely short Daton or a tall Borin is born, one thinks that one of their ancestors was from another race.

They move through the areas where the Hanjutamal spreads, taking full advantage of it. They are more adaptable than cunning. They do not accept the Borin tribe’s request for an alliance, but they remain good friends.

The Shujor Alliance, which had been divided into the east, west, south, and north, was finally united as one. Many of the Patchar tribes were killed. The Borin tribe as well. But the fact that many Patchar tribes were killed was more serious.

Now, the Shujor Alliance has the great task of holding the central jungle and fending off all the attacks from the east, west, and south, while also having to attack Datang at some point.

Will they succeed? The Nono and Lulmo tribes, who are still uneasy about the expansion of the friendly Datang and Shujor alliance, the growing number of Patchar-Datun hybrids, and the Iyakans who are preparing for a counterattack.

And at some point, the number of Borin people increased so much that the Shujor Alliance’s Liwa could be chosen solely based on the will of the Borin people.

The Shujor Alliance already has a bomb inside them, which is even more bizarre when you consider that they themselves are the bombs of Datang and the Southern Region.

However, Datang did not have time to worry about the Shujor Alliance now, because the southeast of Datang was now quietly occupied by another country.

Their name is Seiwamuyu. They are a theocratic nation that serves the great dragon and the divine king who serves him.

This is the nation of Iyakan. When the Shujor Alliance and the southern ape races were playing politics with each other, they came up to the northeast.

What on earth is going on?

It has to do with the mystery of the Yongsimbyeong that was mentioned. Their mystery that developed into war.

Let’s check it out for yourself now.
