## Chapter 903
 
Zipple’s Second Fleet, Kozec 2 Bridge.
 
Originally, Kozec 2’s captain was Octavia, but the current commanders leading the fleet were three special living golems: Betty, Almatia, and Kun.
 
Each of them commanded the fleet in place of Beradin, Octavia, and Satrin.
 
There were almost no human magicians aboard Kozec 2.
 
Most of the crew consisted of living golems known as the “Magic Golem Corps.”
 
All the battleships lined up endlessly behind the flagship were the same.
 
Human magicians accounted for only about 20% of the entire force.
 
“Will the Vamel Alliance really follow us and move as our patriarch said?”
 
“I’m curious too. The patriarch made this decision without the help of the Demon God Orb. I remember him saying something like “If it’s Jin Runcandel, he will surely understand my intentions,” right?”
 
At Almatia and Kun’s words, Betty nodded.
 
“Don’t doubt the patriarch’s judgment. Besides, the Demon God Orb’s future calculations are incomplete, so it might be better not to apply it to something as important as this.”
 
Betty was the commander of the Magic Golem Corps.
 
The two vice-commanders nodded as they observed Betty’s reactions.
 
“Well, that’s precisely what I thought.”
 
“Alright, then. Whatever orders the patriarch gives, we are the ones who follow them. Also, if the situation worsens because of the patriarch’s orders, it’s also our job to make it better somehow.”
 
These three were not just simple living golems, but people.
 
In fact, they had elements that could be called ego and personality, and no one in Zipple took them lightly.
 
On the contrary, they were feared. The Magic Golem Corps is the most powerful unit under the command of the Zipple patriarch, after the Spectral Corps and the Phantom Corps, and these three were their leaders, so it was natural.
 
Moreover, the three were treated better than most pure-blooded Zipples.
 
The Spectral Corps usually handled special operations, and since its creation, the Phantom Corps was mainly known as the punishment unit.
 
The Magic Golem Corps could be considered a unit specialized in large-scale warfare.
 
This was because the Magic Golem Corps was composed of members with exceptional combat power overall, and even if they lost many personnel in battle, it did not cause significant political problems.
 
Except for Betty, Almatia, and Kun, the other members of the unit were nothing more than living golems referred to by their “identification numbers.”
 
When a living golem died, or rather, was destroyed, they could be easily replaced. Of course, it consumed resources, but it was a small price compared to the death of a trained human magician.
 
No matter how exceptional their average combat prowess was, ultimately, aside from Betty, Almatia, and Kun, the others were simply living golems.
 
They couldn’t have a higher value than genuine 8-star or 9-star magicians.
 
“374.”
 
“Yes, Commander.”
 
“Increase speed. Before midnight, the vanguard should be able to attack the Grosch Castle defensive line.”
 
“Understood.”
 
Currently, the Zipple fleet advancing towards Grosch Castle totaled exactly one thousand. Moreover, Zipple planned to continuously reinforce the front lines with additional fleets every two days.
 
Although Zipple did not possess advanced technologies like space jumps and long-range communications, they undoubtedly overwhelmed other forces with their war resources and production capabilities.
 
This was due to Sanna, the priestess of the Sun God Religion, being able to utilize the “Holy Land.”
 
And Beradin was gradually making plans to deal with her. It was due to information that the Demon God Orb had recently revealed to Beradin.
 
“I never thought the traitor Kelliark Zipple would recover and establish his position in hell.”
 
“Moreover, the priestess knew but didn’t inform the patriarch, Betty. The Sun God Religion types really have no intention of giving true loyalty to the patriarch.”
 
“The patriarch probably foresaw it from the beginning. The day would come when we would have to separate from the Sun God Religion. There is still more to gain over the Holy Land, so we should let it live for now. But we must deal with it before it gains more influence.”
 
“In one of the futures the Demon God Orb calculated, one of the worst scenarios was the priestess and Kelliark joining forces. Ah, it would be great if we could just capture the Az Mil contractor that the Vamel Alliance has. When the Demon God Orb’s future calculations are perfect, we will no longer have to worry.”
 
“After Jin Runcandel got involved with Tikan, the Az Mil contractor has never been exposed to danger even once. Securing Euria Alprion will only be possible after the fall of the Vamel Alliance. Due to consecutive wars, the hunt for the gods has been delayed, so we must thoroughly clean up the True Demon World starting with this invasion.”
 
“Don’t worry, Captain. Starting tonight, Kun and I will just massacre the demon bastards.”
 
“We’ve gotten tired of cutting down the remaining Red Legends. They must have weakened considerably since then, but we still haven’t found their main base. But Grosch Castle, as the largest fortress in the True Demon World, is openly located at sea, so it feels less frustrating.”
 
“There is probably some kind of passage leading to the True Demon World from Grosch Castle. From then on, we can definitely destroy the True Demon World’s real headquarters. After attacking Grosch Castle and infiltrating the True Demon World, we must avoid battles with the Vamel Alliance and Kinzelo as much as possible until we assess the situation. Everyone understands, right? Even if you encounter the Alliance’s powerful ones on the front lines, you are not allowed to rush into fighting them.”
 
“Yes, yes, I understand. It’s a bit disappointing, but it can’t be helped. The important thing is not our personal triumph, but the mission. Defeating the Vamel Alliance’s superhumans and measuring ourselves against them is something we can do anytime, not now.”
 
“Not anytime, but something we must do, kill them. Our final enemies are not the True Demon World or the Red Legend Tribe, but the Vamel Alliance and Runcandel. If we can’t win against them, all of this will ultimately be meaningless.”
 
The Zipple fleet continued to advance relentlessly through the sea of swords and magic.
 
A fleet of one thousand battleships cast a massive shadow over the sea, and midnight was rapidly approaching.
 
11:45 PM.
 
Finally, Betty confirmed in the distance beyond the bridge that the True Demon World’s defensive line was visible.
 
Even before reaching this point, they had dealt with several reconnaissance battleships and demons, so the True Demon World had already deployed more troops on the Zipple side of the defensive line.
 
“Finally, it’s the prelude… It seems they withdrew some of the forces guarding the Hufester side and positioned them here. Unless it’s a trick, this means that the True Demon World’s forces are not truly unlimited.”
 
As Betty spoke, a small battleship flew from the rear formation.
 
It was a small battleship that had taken off to inform Betty of the information from the rear formation.
 
The pilot of the small battleship entered the interior of Kozec 2 to find the bridge.
 
“What’s happening? 1704.”
 
“About three hours ago, the Vamel Alliance’s defensive wall started moving, and new superhumans are being added to the front lines of the defensive wall, Commander.”
 
At those words, Betty smiled cunningly.
 
“Indeed, the Patriarch’s prediction was accurate. Immediately relay this news to all the fleet commanders. We no longer need to return to the clan in vain.”
 
“Understood.”
 
“Prepare for battle, all units. 374, change formations to break through, up to the 5th Fleet.”
 
“Yes.”
 
Boom…!
 
A massive flare exploded in the sky, forming words similar to the Fire Seal, creating a cipher in the sky.
 
“Divide and scatter the following fleets to prepare for bombardment, and take care of the scattered enemies. Almatia, Kun. Both of you will go to the 6th and 7th Fleets, which will serve as the axes of the encirclement, and command the battle.”
 
“Eh? I’m supposed to lead the break-through fleet alone? Wouldn’t it be more convenient if we go together?”
 
“This is the time we hit the enemy’s largest base for the first time while we’ve been suffering from the demons fleeing to Grosch Castle through sudden fractures, frequent summoning magic, and space jumps.”
 
“So, the idea is to let the enemy know that Zipple has many powerful beings like monsters?”
 
“Yes, and they still haven’t grasped the situation. That’s why they withdrew some of their forces from the defensive wall. We must also warn them that they cannot simultaneously defend the Alliance’s defensive wall and us.”
 
Betty left the bridge and took her position at the vanguard of Kozec 2. Artillery fire and various spells began to rain down from the True Demon World’s defensive line, and the Zipple fleet deployed protective shields.
 
Swoosh…!
 
Betty looked at the enemies, holding her staff and sword.
 
Fwooosh…!
 
The staff activated the effusive flame orb spell that decimates, while the sword was infused with light magic and aura.
 
“I, Betty Zipple, will kill you all, starting now.”
 
***
 
At the same time, Kinzelo Headquarters.
 
Kinzelo had also received news that Runcandel and Zipple’s forces were advancing on Grosch Castle.
 
[Hmm… That’s unexpected. I thought Runcandel would start attacking Grosch Castle and draw other main forces through it. I never thought Veradin Zipple would make such a decision.]
 
“That’s right, Master. As you said, the imperial family deliberately didn’t provide blood and information to the Red Legend Tribe, so it seems they haven’t fully recovered from the damage they suffered while fighting Zipple.”
 
[The Melkas would have certainly withheld support for the Red Legend Tribe. Now, with the Red Legend Tribe faltering and Zipple having some breathing room, they are starting an offensive on Grosch Castle, the Melkas probably plan to provide strength to the Red Legend Tribe, thereby pressuring the Federation from within. However, it seems Beradin has prepared for this to some extent.]
 
“So what should we do? Should we coordinate our actions as we did during the first large-scale attack, following Zipple’s leadership?”
 
[Of course, that’s the plan. Since we alone cannot handle Zito, this is our opportunity. Issue immediate orders for the forces stationed on the defensive wall to advance alongside the Vamel Alliance.]
 
“Well, I’m a little worried. Last time, during the first large-scale attack, we and Zipple suffered a lot of casualties, but this time it won’t be the same, right? Besides, last time, Sir Jin initiated it, but this time it’s Sir Veradin, so it feels like it could be different. Sir Veradin rarely makes mistakes when it comes to his intentions.”
 
Zephyrin shrugged.
 
[Joe.]
 
“Yes, Leader!”
 
[It’s likely that most of the Zipple fleet is composed of living golems. We will send a fleet composed of completed Legend-type living golems.]
 
Completed Legend-type living golems.
 
Not long ago, when facing the Demon Men in Phirol’s underground city, Orgal secretly obtained some fragments of them.
 
And now, Joe has finished developing them using the information from those fragments.
 
“Oh, finally, my creations are going to shine! Understood, Leader. I will prepare immediately!”
