Fantasy Starting from the Stone Age - Chapter 63



Only Noblemtl

Episode 63. We won the war, but…

The generation that experienced the war has already reached the fourth generation. After the great defeat on the southern front in the third generation, Daton airlifts a large number of cattle for the supply route. The Shujor Alliance responds with monster light cavalry as the supply route becomes longer.

Datang has garrisoned the village and released scaled hippos and shadow snails into the swamp, so the Shujor Alliance responds with powerful explosive spells against the slow-moving creatures.

Datang builds earthen ramparts around captured villages, while the Shujor Alliance responds with long ladders and brainwashed kneeling giraffe siege vehicles······.

If you make one move, you are pushed back by one move. If you are pushed back by one move and get ahead on the next move, your opponent makes another move.

A different kind of war from Borin’s wave, where the strategy did not change, but only the troop deployment was lacking.

During the 4th generation and 80 years of fighting, the military organization of Datang gradually became more sophisticated. The number of events in the Giruak (Great Battle), which is still held regularly, has also increased fivefold.

Even in the midst of war, or perhaps because of war, Giruak is performed on a grand scale.

All events are an extension of military training. Different medals are awarded to the top, top tier, upper tier, middle tier, lower tier, and bottom tier of each event.

Although one person is outstanding, one is also highly regarded for his or her accomplishments in various fields.

As the Datang were hunter-gatherers, they kept a firm grip on Daton by completely controlling and distributing the collected goods, and they continued to increase their military power.

“The time is now ripe! Let us reclaim our homeland!”

And again the army advances. This time it is not a reckless charge of beasts, but a battle of conquest, involving reconnaissance, guidance, surprise attacks, ambushes, and systematic troop deployment.

Even the Shujor Alliance cannot immediately use scorched earth tactics.

But it wasn’t just Datang who had grown his national power. He also raised the Shujore Alliance. He bred the spirit beasts he had kidnapped to make them obey him, and he acquired sorcery, spirit magic, and advanced weapons, and he was determined to stop Datang’s army.

The war that followed was atrocious. Roasted and fried flesh, blood filling the swamps. Poison. Fortifications built on the plains by the Datang and Shuzor alliance, recognizing the concept of a key point. Fierce sieges and sieges.

They are hell-bent on killing each other and taking over territory, fighting with mysteries, spears, arrows, and fists.

Surprisingly, the Shujor Alliance managed to stop Datang’s advance three times, and even made great gains through counterattacks.

Meanwhile, Seiwamuyu advances east of Datang, mobilizing not only the mysterious but also powerful weapons obtained from trade with the Baekkan tribe.

In the Great Forest to the north, the Erin, Bark, and Baekan tribes, whose farming and livestock farming were ruined by the Shujor Mountain monsters, are causing a commotion by threatening to burn down the Great Forest if Datang does not immediately provide food.

This side is also desperate. The number is so great that hundreds of thousands have gathered and this side has also been beaten more than 13 times in this short 20 years.

Osozoin Gulmung leads the Quako and Gigar tribes in defending the north, saying that he will personally show them how powerful the Great Forest and the World Tree are.

Meanwhile, dragons from the northern region coming over from the west, combining with the dragons of Seiwamuyu, become even stronger and more vicious hybrids and run wild in Datang.

In short, Datang is now being beaten in all directions: the fiercest Shuzor front in the south, the fiercest front in the east, the Wild Dragon front in the center and west, the foreign front in the north…

But really, after about 80 years, something seems different.

“Push it!”

You are the King. Zebat Chaun, who leads the world’s largest scaled elephants, roars. His elephant troop finally shakes the earth and brings down the entire fortress.

“Giraffe Unit, sortie!”

“Damn it! The sorcerers······.”

The Patchar commander is unable to continue his speech and falls down with his neck impaled by tusks. Thousands of Borin try to catch the giraffe, but it is now covered with spiked armor from the hooves to the knees. The Borin’s strength is not enough to cut the giraffe’s legs or to cling to them.

Jebat Chaun shouts again with a shout of victory.

“Push! Push! Don’t leave a trace of these bastards’ fortress! Don’t leave a single Borin or Patchar behind!”

Even in Seiwamuyu, the extremely rare ‘Calamity’ level dragon was currently experiencing its greatest crisis.

Because the giant giraffe, which was about the same size as him and whose eyes would have been much higher if he had been sitting and standing, was sharpening the trees on its head and body into horns and spears and stabbing him as he flew through the air.

“Why can’t you fly!”

The Raphi (priests) now actively utilize the power of the Moon Spirit. Although not as powerful as the power of the Vachat Beram, hundreds of them could pull down the flying, swarming, swarming, swarming creatures to the ground.

And then, when you come down to the ground, Onler Dobang, the strongest and tallest giraffe in the world, will stab you with his head, kick you with his legs, and swing his body like a hammer, crushing you.

“Dragon Heart Soldiers, join us! The great Dragon God······.”

The words are not continued. Hundreds of fireballs fly and cover the bodies of the dragon spirits. They are the highest-level ‘fire spirits’ spirits who have trained for this day. Even the dragon spirits can only defend themselves against the pouring flames.

“Punishment from heaven to all who do not follow the great laws of Allah!”

The World Tree pours down lightning. Plants overflowing from the ground, and an army of hundreds of thousands of people are meaningless when giants rush in.

Tactics that previously relied solely on mystical powers now corner and eliminate enemies through orderly unit operations.

“Ugh! Please give me something to eat!”

“There are times when there is famine and times when there is plenty! If you ever want to ask for mercy during a famine, come to Datang!”

“too bad······.”

The protesting refugees in the North are ultimately unable to go south.

The west is no different. The medium-sized dragons that enter the center are already hundreds of times more numerous, and are captured under the command of the hunters and Echakado. Their spirit stones are processed and supplied infinitely to the center, east, and south.

The materials that never run out, the infinite supplies. The strongest military force on earth······! Except for the number one, everyone else rushes in and bites, but Datang doesn’t budge.

There, Datang’s strongest force, Ol Chaun, has not yet appeared on the battlefield.

All Chaun does is offer sacrifices to the moon in Mainilun and pray endlessly to the moon for magical power to be bestowed upon his people.

“What the heck? They’ve been losing for 80 years, so why on earth······?”

Absurdity. It is the very definition of extreme absurdity.

Even after 80 years of defeat, Datang was able to regroup and fight back.

The extreme exchange rate that the Shuzor Alliance had hoped for, and the strategy of pressuring the enemy through joint attacks with Seiwamuyu and the Iyakan tribe, were also meaningless.

In this extreme situation, Seiwamuyu hopes that the Shuzoru Alliance will hold out just a little longer. The fierce eastern front could possibly defeat Datang if it continues just a little longer. So if they just turn their attention to the south a little more······.

As scary as it may seem, the Shujor Alliance surrenders as soon as their defeat becomes apparent.

And then they suddenly attack Iyakan to prove their loyalty. The King of Seiwamuyu is about to go crazy.

“You godless people······! Why did you abandon the independence you so desperately desired?”

In the end, the new king of Seiwamuyu also negotiated peace with Datang. He acknowledged the territories he had occupied so far, but in exchange for giving Datang the resources he had acquired from Baekkan and other places, he stopped fighting any more.

If we look at it one by one, the Shujor Alliance has surrendered, Seiwamuyu has become a tributary state, the northern foreign races have been able to receive some food, and their wealth is intact.

It appears that the second period of the struggle ended with Datang’s victory.

“We, the Borin tribe, surrender. Please, if you will let us live in Datang, even if you treat us as slaves… Ah. Please be merciful. Not as slaves. Yes. Thank you.”

“Seiwamuyu. We at Deart cannot accept the surrender of the Shuzoru Alliance. We will do anything to allow us to live there.”

“Surely, comrades of Patchar, you wouldn’t abandon our Borin, who fought alongside us, like this? Let’s overcome this crisis together.”

It ‘seems’ like it ended in a victory for Datang. That’s not to say they won.

In the end, the war ended, and the Shuzor Alliance, Seiwamuyu, and each race survived. No country was destroyed.

The reason Datang accepted the surrender requests of each country was because he recognized that it would be difficult to conquer either the south or the east, but fundamentally, Datang’s goal was not the extermination of other races, but the safety of his own country.

All Chaun wanted to burn all those bastards, but he didn’t want his own people to suffer. War was the most representative way to inflict suffering on his own people.

As a result, if you look closely, all races suffered and were left with nothing.

It is very difficult to reduce the military budget once it has been increased. Datang maintains the increased military budget while facing other countries, and also maintains a considerable military training system and food production system.

Safety first. In order to make sure that something happens later, Datang had no choice but to ask sacrifices from the people.

“······.”

“All right. Why are you like that?”

“No, something feels strange.”

“yes?”

“Why did we fight the war in the first place?”

“Because the Shujor Alliance attacked.”

“Why did the genes attack?”

“Didn’t you counterattack with the strength gained from Borin’s joining?”

“How did Borin join?”

“They attacked us and were pushed back in a matter of days, so they sent us to live in another land······.”

All I wanted to point out was that part.

“But why are there barley wandering around our land?!”

If you answer, “That’s right, that’s how we negotiated peace,” he’ll get even angrier.

In the end, if you look at it all, Datang, Shujor, Seiwamuyu, and all the other Lulmo and Nono communities, the Borin people have established themselves as proud members of the group.

“Was this all planned? No, it couldn’t be. How could Borin, who doesn’t even live as long as us, have continued this plan for hundreds of years? And that this evil plan went completely undetected? That’s ridiculous.”

What makes me anxious while thinking about it is that Borin’s intelligence, which is enhanced by this Dator’s ultra-high magic power zone, is amazing.

It is their nature to love their fellow countrymen.

So does that mean that the second period of the struggle was just a joke to the Borins? Was this all just a scheme to spread the Borins across the continent?

Actually, this is a delusion of the whole world. The Borin tribe didn’t think that far ahead. In fact, they couldn’t have thought of it.

But the decisions made at every moment, in every generation, ultimately led to that outcome.

In a way, that is what real ‘intelligence’ is. It is the ability to draw the right conclusion through inference and judgment in an unknown situation.

As a result, the Borin tribe came to exist in every community on the continent. Small, numerous, and wise when given magic, they were very useful when accepted as part of a group.

When you consider that their stupid compatriots who did not receive these blessings are slaves but are thriving, it is the strong who survive in the end.

It doesn’t really matter that it takes the form of defeat, just as Datang sacrificed himself in the form of victory.

For a hundred years, they’ve been cleaning up. And the Datons are discussing various things, confirming that the last war is completely over.

“In the end, ‘Kiriwang’ never appeared.”

“I see. Maybe there was no need to appear.”

The Datons are disappointed that the imaginary general they had fantasized about did not appear. They are disappointed even though they won.

“You little lizards! I’ll kill them all!”

“There is much to be said about Daton’s servants!”

Shuzoru and Seiwamuyu, who were oppressed by Datang, eventually started a war in the narrow southern region, and there was no sign of it ending. In the end, since they could not defeat Datang, they had to fight each other and win.

“Hmm, if there is a war, things will go well······.”

“Our land is slowly being taken away······. They’re taking it back.”

The Rulmoi merchants and Nono tribe who had profited from the war felt disappointed.

Once a war breaks out, it’s not difficult to have a second one.

Peace is short-lived. After all, the third period of the most intense struggle.

Daton’s new mine run. ‘Kiriwang’

The greatest hero in the history of Patchar. ‘Rivaduwan’

Southern unification by Liwaduwan.

Shuzor’s reinvasion of Datang.

The struggle and death of Paldin Koa.

And the Battle of Mainnirun marks the end of the struggle.

It is accompanied by historical events that are truly exciting to hear about.

In this story, it would be good to start with the appearance of ‘King Giri’. The war’s main run. How did King Giri appear?

Surprisingly, it appeared during a time of peace.
