Chapter 902
## Chapter 902
[Indeed, young Patriarch. And while Joshua and Kelliark Zipple are certainly cooperating, I don’t think they form a perfect alliance.]
“Most likely, Chief Butler. Joshua probably awakened Ganesto’s blood first and then went to heal Kelliark. After all, he was being consumed by chaos. Moreover, Sheenu had suffered considerable injuries from the former God of Battle, so I imagine Lokia would have taken care of that as well.”
Jin paused for a moment, pondering the intentions of both parties.
“Kelliark’s objective is probably to avenge himself on Beradin and the members of his clan who betrayed him and reclaim Zipple. Lokia, on the other hand, intends to use this process to achieve her own objectives.”
Lokia’s ultimate goal was probably tied to Ganesto’s objective.
-Diana, do you think this world is just?
-What do you mean?
-Well, think about it. We are the ones who pursue justice and freedom in this world, but are we really any better than Zipple, who manipulates history and resorts to all sorts of villainy to become the ruler of the world? Is it really fair?
Suddenly, Jin remembered Lokia’s words he had heard in Kaytam’s painting.
“She might have created her own world where she perceives herself as just. She wouldn’t have created such a world just for personal satisfaction or on a whim… or perhaps she wants to destroy the world and replace the human world with the world she created.”
This thought shed some light on Lokia’s actions so far.
[From now on, we should start looking for this place called Lokia’s world. Only now do I realize that she has completely betrayed the clan and us a thousand years ago…]
“Considering they have never been involved in the fight against the major factions of the human world, it won’t be easy. But judging by the reaction Anne showed us before, Lokia might have a vulnerability related to the Black Sea. We could obtain information from my father and the expedition team.”
“Well, when the expedition team returns, I doubt there will be anything hidden from our father about the Black Sea. However, we don’t know when that will be.”
“Of course, we will continue our investigation as usual. We can’t rush into allocating resources to Lokia without solid leads. Our current priority is to deal with the immediate threats, the True Demon World and the Red Legend Tribe. Only once that is done can we move forward.”
The True Demon War and the Red Demon War. After those wars end, it will finally be time for the “final war” that will determine who seizes control of this era.
[T/L: Red Demon War; the war between Zipple and the Red Legend Tribe.]
The True Demon World and the Red Legend Tribe could unknowingly serve as gateways to that final war. Only those who have overcome the forces of the underworld will be able to participate in the final war.
“Next.”
“Zipple, Kinzelo, Ganesto, the Sun God Religion, and the Imperial Family. I can’t help but wonder how many of them will remain a threat to us after the True Demon War and the Red Demon War end. Regardless of how many remain, we will ensure our final victory. We can no longer afford to be hampered by the True Demon World and the Red Legend Tribe.”
It was a thought that had been present from the very beginning.
Since the True Demon World and the Red Legend Tribe invaded the human world, all major factions of the human world, including the Vamel Alliance, were clearly losing their dominance.
The True Demon World and the Red Legend Tribe had always had the upper hand, thanks to their advanced teleportation skills and overwhelming technology.
Among them, Runcandel had Luna in charge of the preemptive strike against the True Demon World, but it wasn’t enough.
“That’s true. What do you suggest, boy?”
“Now that Lokia has started her activities in earnest, it’s clear that she, along with other Ganestos and Kelliark, intends to utilize the True Demon World. Therefore, we must deal with the True Demon World before that miserable person gains any significant advantage from it. Among our enemies, Lokia is the most unpredictable variable.”
“Oh, that sounds pretty good. I’ve been frustrated because those pests have barely escaped me all this time. So, are we going to advance the defensive wall now?”
“We will deploy the defensive wall forces, and both you and I will be on the front line. Until now, we have been too passive due to the lack of information about them. Responding only in the safest way won’t eliminate these pests.”
The eyes of those gathered in the meeting room widened.
A similar conversation had taken place not too long ago.
Jin had wanted to join the front line back then, but his comrades had insisted on waiting until the development of the Golden Fleet and the mass production of Iello were complete.
While Jin respected his comrades’ judgment, the situation had changed now.
“Young man, are you sure about this?”
“Yes, Elder Sister.”
“Of course, we will follow your judgment and obey your orders. However, the reason we haven’t been able to take the initiative in the True Demon War until now is not only the lack of information about the True Demon World but also because we feel a duty to minimize civilian casualties. As the ruling clan of Hufester and the Vamel Alliance, we have a responsibility for their safety.”
“That’s correct. We won’t deploy all our forces on the defensive wall. Naturally, we must leave some force to protect our territories. But when the best fighters of the Alliance, including myself and Murakan, join the defensive wall, the True Demon World will surely try to create more rifts towards our headquarters.”
“Yes, that’s what worries me most. But, young man, I’m sure you’ve thought this through.”
“We won’t hesitate to press hard, to the point where they won’t even think about creating more rifts in our land than before. I believe it’s feasible even without the completion of the Golden Fleet.”
“How is that possible?”
“I intend to make Zipple and Kinzelo take the initiative.”
Jin recalled an incident that had happened during the early stages of the Evil God War.
It was when Jin had just returned from Laprarosa.
He had noticed Rosa’s transformation and intentionally informed the world of his return before Runcandel, heading only to the Garden of Swords.
At that time, Zipple and Kinzelo, who had been observing the situation, had made plans to take down Runcandel while Jin and Murakan were fighting in the Corrupted Garden of Swords.
As if fulfilling a promise, both factions had brought their fleets and forces to the Garden of Swords.
Now Jin was drawing a similar picture.
The moment he advanced towards Grosch Castle, other factions would join the fray.
While it might not be a temporary alliance like during the Evil God War, but regardless, the True Demon World was a public enemy that needed to be dealt with.
Clearly, the True Demon World was interfering with the plans of the three factions: Runcandel, Zipple, and Kinzelo.
As Jin explained this, Luna and the others nodded in agreement.
[Indeed… if everything goes as the young Patriarch says, we can certainly put pressure on the True Demon World without even completing the Golden Fleet and Iello. According to recent intelligence, the ongoing Red Demon War in the Lutero Magical Federation has stalled a bit. Intelligence officers and spies have assessed that the Red Legend Tribe seems to have weakened. They lost too many troops and fleets due to Elona Zipple.]
“While the Red Legend Tribe is less active, the True Demon World continues to create rifts in the territory of the Lutero Magical Federation. In fact, Elona Zipple also got caught up in it. Currently, the True Demon World is more of a nuisance than the Red Legend Tribe for Zipple as well.”
[If the three factions advance simultaneously, and the True Demon World remains immobilized, we might not need to reveal the Golden Fleet and the mass-produced Iellos for the next war.]
“If things go as well as that, it’s more than welcome. Of course, we will fight Zipple and Kinzelo at some point when the front lines get tangled during the simultaneous advance. But neither Beradin nor Orgal are complete fools, so there’s no need to unnecessarily escalate conflicts between the major factions.”
“Internal disputes within the major factions are secondary. The main objective is to eliminate the True Demon World. However, boy, what are you going to do if Zipple and Kinzelo don’t follow this plan?”
“That’s not going to happen.”
“If by chance that situation arises.”
“That’s simple. If, for some reason, Zipple and Kinzelo disagree, we can easily recall the newly deployed forces on the defensive wall back to our headquarters. We can share real-time updates on the situation on the front line through communication devices, and moving them can be done in an instant with Red Owl and Mort.”
“Ah, indeed, that makes sense.”
“For now, let’s try, and if the enemies don’t cooperate, we won’t have much to lose, unless Zito suddenly appears at our headquarters.”
If that were possible, the Vamel Alliance would have suffered a significant blow long ago.
“Moreover, even if Zipple doesn’t move, both we and Kinzelo will advance. Orgal sent reinforcements to the defensive wall even without our initial request. The alliance and Kinzelo will advance, and it’s highly unlikely that Zipple will attack our headquarters instead of the True Demon World during that time. Even if the Red Legend Tribe is weakening, Zipple won’t have the capacity to attack our headquarters.”
The decision was made.
The members of the alliance began discussing who to select as the additional superhumans to be deployed on the defensive wall and how to organize the troops.
“First, Murakan and I will be at the forefront, along with the Golden Fleet. Elder Sister Luna, it depends on whether you will participate in the breakthrough here…”
[I think it would be better for the First Flagbearer to act as an independent unit, just like during the preemptive strike mission. While the young Patriarch and Murakan break through the front lines, the First Flagbearer can disrupt the enemy’s defense line. She can assist the young Patriarch and Murakan when needed. As for the Third Flagbearer…]
Wooong-!
Amidst heated discussions, the communication device suddenly vibrated.
It was the fourth communication, another request from Tikan.
{Sir Jin! We have received an urgent report. Approximately six hours ago, Zipple’s large fleet began moving. The suspected destination is Grosch Castle!}
Jin’s eyes widened in shock at Kashimir’s words.
“…Did you say Grosch Castle?”
{Yes, it seems Zipple intends to deploy troops against the True Demon World in earnest.}
Zipple’s Patriarch is Beradin.
Zipple’s advance towards Grosch Castle was Beradin’s decision.
“Beradin… you were thinking the same thing as me.”
Jin shrugged and looked at everyone.
“Although he is in a bad mental state due to Kelliark, there is still something in common between Beradin and me. Since Zipple moved first, let’s respond quickly.”
