Chapter 815

Episode 204. Declaration of War (2)

* * *

Zipple, Draka.

“Since the Empire’s Joryong Fortress has been attacked by the enemy, our agitation will lose its power.”

Veradin looked over the report and said. Ziple’s informants did not see the battle directly, but they confirmed the ruins of the Joryong Fortress.

Newspapers were placed next to the report. Rutero Federation newsletters all instigated that the Jin and Barmal alliances were threatening the lives of the enemy by awakening them, and Hufester’s newsletters detailed the great victory of the Zoroastrian Citadel.

It was bound to be a contrast. Even if we compare only the damage situation, Jiple lost the 2nd class magic tower, and the Bamal Alliance lost the Dragon Citadel, but most of the reserve knights and dragons were rescued, and even Drek and her fleet were defeated.

“Hupester has not been able to properly refute the part about the awakening of the enemy tribe due to Jin Runkandel. Why don’t we focus on just this part?”

“Go ahead, Ronil. After all, that part is the most important thing to save us trouble when we directly revise history. However, this incident will make the public feel once more that we are incompetent than the Barmal Alliance. It hurts even more that it is true.”

“… … Technology is the problem. In addition to their teleportation capabilities, the Bamal Alliance seems to have secured ultra-long-range communications. This has been confirmed by spies planted within the empire.”

At Satrin’s words, Beradin nodded.

“If the former head of household had dealt with Valeria Heister in time and protected Tingen Bauer, the skill gap would not have been this far. There is only one possibility for us to make technological breakthroughs like the Barmal Alliance, and that is to steal from the enemy. The chaos control technology we invested in right before the bust is now almost useless.”

The problem was that he had no idea of ​​the enemy’s home base.

“… … It’s frustrating. The right to attack is completely in the hands of the enemy, so in effect we have no choice but to wait for an invasion if we want to analyze their technology. After the battle, the only thing you can do is inspect the wreckage, matriarch. Of course, it would be a little better if we somehow managed to capture the enemy.”

“Even that, we are bound to be behind the Barmal Alliance. Jin must have already obtained quite a few of the enemy’s items or remains through the Battle of the Kingelo 3 branch and the Zoryong Fortress. Valeria Heister and Tingen Bauer will be hard at work. And this defeat must have made them fear Jin even more. Everyone, do you know what that means?”

Veradin narrowed his eyes and looked around at the officers.

“It means that the possibility that the enemy will only target us and Kinzel in the future is very high. However, after Kingelo invaded, he confirmed that Jin came out of nowhere, so he must have decided that it was safer to attack us.”

The air in the conference room became heavy.

“Gajou, have you heard anything from the shrine maiden?”

“No, Wraith Captain. He said that since he was fervent in prayer, he might soon realize something. It is up to the shaman to find out the whereabouts of the former family head and the base of the enemy clan.”

Naturally, Zipple was still tracking Kelliac Zipple. It was because the completion of the Demon Stone could be accelerated only when Kelliac and Shinu were completely finished.

“If a shrine maiden can do such a thing… … All we need is time. Until she obtains the results of the shrine maiden.”

The moment Octavia said that, a commotion was heard from the hallway.

“What a fuss!”

When the executive sitting at the bottom of the table shouted, a scholarly wizard stepped inside.

“My lord! Enemy ships are currently circling the Federation and distributing paper like this… … !”

“What? Are you saying their ships are flying over the Federation!?”

“Get it here.”

This was written on the note that the Munsa handed out to Beradin with an urgent face.

(To the humans of the Lutero Federation.

We, the enemy tribe, declare war on the Lutero Magic Federation on the ground as of the present time.

The Commonwealth can never afford us.

But when the war ends with our victory, blood, death, and the scars of war will not be the only thing left to the Union.

Before officially starting the war, we will make two promises to ordinary humans who do not belong to the ‘Federation Army’.

First, we go to war excluding casualties. We are conquerors, not slayers. If soldiers surrender, they will be treated as ordinary people immediately and treated accordingly. Only soldiers die from our swords and artillery fire. Absolutely, there will never be a case where ordinary people are slaughtered.

Second, after the war, we will rapidly develop the civilization of the Lutero Magic Federation. The entire federation will be redesigned with the superior technology and resources of the enemy tribes, and ordinary people will enjoy all its benefits equally.

Our next objective is one of Ziffle’s first-class magic towers, within a week you will lose one of the first-class magic towers.

Prepare yourself to your heart’s content.

Enemy names will make this world complete again. -Bakarun Jung, the great fighting king of the enemy tribe.)

The executives who looked at the paper were silent for a while, their eyes widening.

Just looking at the message, it seemed that the enemy tribes were already confident of their complete victory.

“You are kind too. To inform you of the next target.”

Veradin spoke in a calm voice, but the officers managed to suppress their anger. In the last thousand years, Ziple had never been provoked like this.

“What happened to the enemy ships that sprayed the paper?”

“I only saw what appeared on Palin. The Federation fleet immediately attempted to shoot it down, but it escaped without taking any damage. The speed difference between our large ships was so great that it was impossible to pursue at all, and the small high-speed ships could not penetrate the check, so they could not keep chasing them.”

“It must have been unavoidable because there was a difference in ship technology. There are no superhumans currently on standby in Palin.”

“Yes, my lord.”

“i get it.”

A moment of silence passed as the wizard who brought the paper left. Veradin pondered for a moment and looked at his officers.

“Immediately switch to all-out warfare for the first-class magic towers in all regions of the Federation, and return the main ships that are dispatched outside.”

“What should the ordinary people around the magic tower do?”

“Block it. so that you cannot escape. Let’s see if they really fight while excluding casualties.”

In other words, Veradin was thinking of using ordinary people as hostages. It was because he seemed to know why the enemy Ming clan emphasized that they would not touch ordinary people in the declaration of war.

“The results so far speak for themselves. There are very few areas where we have an advantage over our enemies in warfare. Fleet performance, as well as communication methods and mobility, are infinitely lacking. So somehow you have to buy time so that you can use what you have prepared. By using ordinary people as shields.”

“… … Do you think that the head of the household will not be able to earn even such time if they do not hesitate to kill ordinary people unlike the declaration of war? Our zip.”

“That will depend on how strong the enemy’s true strength is, Captain Wraith. But even if they massacre ordinary people, it won’t be too bad for us.”

“Why is that?”

“If you do that, Jin won’t be able to stand by and watch the war between us and the enemy.”

Veradin replied with a cool smile.

* * *

[The Declaration of War clearly shows how much the enemies fear you.]

Ameris said.

Tikan was also conducting a meeting as soon as he obtained the declaration of war from the enemy tribe.

[They have confidence that if they massacre ordinary people, even if they belong to the Federation, you will not stand still. That’s why I emphasized this to avoid you participating in this war.]

The enemy tribes have been collecting information on the ground since Simat and his gang were released from the seal. Of course, I also looked at the records of the chest temple that were open to the public, and I heard from the Bement family how not to stimulate Jin.

That’s the iron rule of never touching normal people.

In fact, if ordinary people were slaughtered by the enemy, Jin would immediately go to support without hesitation. Because that’s the right thing to do as a regressor, as a human who currently dominates one axis of the world.

In other words, even though it is an all-out war between the current greatest power underground and the oldest loser on the ground.

In other words, the general public could be guaranteed a level of safety that was unbelievable in an exhibition. Due to the influence of one person, Gene Runcandel.

As long as it’s war, of course.

Ordinary people in the Lutero Magical Federation have no choice but to be harmed in some way. You may lose your family in the military, or you may lose your livelihood and home. But the important thing was that genocide was completely forbidden.

Therefore, as long as the enemy tribes kept their own declaration, there was nothing wrong with the Barmal Union. Because only the ‘enemies’ fight each other while shedding blood.

“At the last meeting, I said that our greatest need is time. Time to build a fleet and supply communication devices to the entire region, time to complete mass-produced Yello and magic knight troops, time to learn the means of the enemy, time until Murakan returns, time for my brothers to come out. Time to complete the way there is, etc. And now, it seems like an opportunity to buy some time has arrived.”

As Jin spoke, his colleagues looked at him.

“If the Declaration of War between the enemy and the Jeeple is well followed, the war between the two forces will inevitably be sluggish. Enemy tribes can’t fire indiscriminately because of the general public, and Jiple doesn’t know their base, so he has no right to attack first. Then, the moment when either side finds a clue is the key.”

From the point of view of the enemy, a situation is created in which they no longer have to pay attention to Jin.

From Zipple’s point of view, finding their base and creating a situation where they can win with all their might.

Those two factors were at the heart of this war. Until one of the two is established, the Bamal Alliance can prepare for a war that will inevitably expand in the future.

“We must issue a statement immediately. As long as we don’t massacre ordinary people, we will never go to war. In addition, it should be added that we will not spare material support for ordinary people isolated in the Union. First of all, you have to check the first battle yourself, so please pack up your staff and start preparing to infiltrate each level 1 magic tower.”
