Simultaneous time travel: Am I the only normal person?
#461 - On the eve of war!
The Holy Kingdom of Roble is based on the southwestern peninsula of the Kingdom of Re-Estize.
Because there is a mountain range between the holy kingdoms, and the location of the southwestern peninsula itself is relatively far away from the mainland, the Holy Kingdom of Roble has been able to stay away from the disputes among the major human regimes.
But this does not mean that the Holy Kingdom of Roble is the ideal "Utopia".
The entire peninsula is separated by a huge strait. The Holy King lives in the north, while some powerful nobles live in the south.
The country has a holy king who practices magic as his ruler. The monarch and the temple jointly rule the country. Although the country has a strong religious color, the royal power and theocracy are quite harmonious.
However, due to the current Holy Queen, the southern nobles had a huge conflict with both sides, resulting in an extremely serious division between the north and the south of the Holy Kingdom.
Many nobles simply do not obey the orders of the Holy King, and the country is currently in a semi-divided state.
For ambitious people, the situation faced by the Holy Kingdom of Roble is a good opportunity to take advantage of the situation.
If it weren't for the fact that the holy kings of all generations wisely expended a large amount of national strength and resources to build the Northern Great Wall, which runs across the north and south and is more than 100 kilometers long, at the entrance of the peninsula.
Although the Holy Kingdom is weaker than other countries, due to the existence of the Great Wall in the North and the vastness of the desert city, other countries have little interest in the Holy Kingdom of Roble.
They are unwilling to spend huge costs to invade cities and seize territories, and there is no guarantee that they can completely take over the country.
The weakest of the Nine Colors of the Holy Kingdom is equivalent to an adamantium-level adventurer, and its leader of the Paladins, Remedios Custodio, has even reached the heroic level and is able to fight against the claws of the Ten Outstanding Demi-Humans.
If a war really breaks out, it's unclear who will invade whom...
After all, Gazef Stronoff, the warrior captain of the neighboring Kingdom of Re-Estize, who was known as the strongest warrior in the kingdom, had only half a foot in the realm of heroes.
You can also call him a heroic quality inspector.
However, the purpose of the Great Wall, in addition to blocking other human countries, is more to block those sub-races.
The hilly area separating the Holy Kingdom and the Theocracy is the source of the Holy Kingdom's suffering.
As many as eighteen kinds of sub-humans live here, and most of them are far superior to humans. Ordinary adult orcs are ten times more difficult to kill than adult humans, and some races are born with the ability to use magic.
Although the number is not large, there are still hundreds of thousands of sub-humans in total, and the average level is above five. The specially trained sub-human soldiers are at least level ten or above.
You know, an ordinary human soldier will be trained for at least three to five years, and then equipped with weapons at level four or five at most, which is already considered an elite soldier of the human race.
In other words, the peak of ordinary humans is just the beginning of these sub-races.
No wonder the Northern Holy Kingdom, with its Nine Colors, the Paladins, and the Temple, is unable to control the entire country.
For a Great Wall border that is hundreds of miles long, if a large army were to be stationed there for a long time, the huge financial expenditure would be enough to bring down the Northern Saint Kingdom.
However, this kind of troop mobilization will inevitably lead to the leakage of information regardless of whether it is the human kingdom or the demi-humans, which will give the Holy Kingdom enough time to provide support to the Northern Great Wall.
Ever since the Great Wall was built, this place has always been foolproof, and the Holy Kingdom also believes that national security will always be foolproof.
Until... I encountered the Great Tomb of Nazarick!
——
"Demiurge, if you want to completely destroy the Holy Kingdom of Roble, it is definitely not something that can be accomplished with the current number of troops."
Cocytus said in a deep voice.
The scorching air currents rose up, and the high fighting spirit stimulated the body's internal circulation, so that astonishing heat burst out, causing steam to erupt.
However, although he wanted to fight, he knew very well in his heart that what the Supreme Lord wanted to see was not a one-sided massacre.
It is a war of fierce fighting and blood!
He wants to present a perfect art of war to the Great Tomb of Nazarick!
Thinking of this, Cocytus's fighting spirit increased several levels.
The ten outstanding demi-humans, with bruised faces, missing arms and legs, huddled aside in fear.
The humans of the Holy Kingdom always say that these demi-humans are monsters.
But today, the Ten Best Demi-Humans saw for the first time what a real monster is!
No matter what martial arts he used, or how powerful the magic was, even if he used a secret technique with extremely alarming side effects, he could not cause the slightest harm to the two monsters in front of him.
They couldn't even leave a single white mark on Cocytus's leather armor.
And Cocytus was like a god. He waved his weapon casually a few times and easily defeated the ten sub-human heroes.
If it weren't for that horrible demon, who cast healing magic on them for some unknown reason, many of the top ten would have died in the battle just now.
"Cocytus, a heavily guarded fortress can be breached from the inside."
Demiurge kept smiling.
"The Holy Kingdom is severely divided between the north and the south. The nobles in the south will not obey the command of the Holy Queen. They even hope that the Holy Queen will die soon."
"If I enter the human world and use the meanness of humans to turn them against each other, then this undefeated Great Wall of the North will collapse on its own."
"Or, we can bypass the fortress's defenses and use the sub-human races that are good at naval warfare. With careful coordination and calculation, we can encircle the fortress from the inside and have a chance to capture it."
"Of course, no matter which method is used, it will take a lot of time to prepare in advance."
Demiurge stood in the lush jungle, gazing at the towering Great Wall fortress in front of him. In front of the two of them was a standard topographic map of the Holy Kingdom.
This was "borrowed" by Demiurge from a great noble in the Holy Kingdom of Robur. The military plan of the entire Northern Great Wall was clearly listed on it.
Anyone who knows a little about military command can use this map to cause serious damage to the Great Wall in the North.
As Cocytus possesses certain commander skills, he is naturally adept at commanding the legion and formulating combat strategies.
As long as the army is gathered, he can easily break through the Great Wall in the North.
As for conquering the entire Holy Kingdom of Roble, it is not impossible, but it will result in a certain number of casualties.
This kind of victory is a shame for both Cocytus and Demiurge!
They are going to perform an extremely magnificent and grand drama for the great Supreme Being.
Rather than a long, complicated and boring drama.
Be angry enough, desperate enough, and - wonderful enough!
Demiurge put his left hand behind his back, stroked his round-frame glasses with his right hand and said, "What a waste of time, Cocytus."
Cocytus looked at the highest-ranking demon.
The demon whispered, "The great Supreme Being is watching us, and he is enjoying the magnificent drama we bring to him."
"Although using conspiracy and wisdom to conquer the Northern Wall is a good play, as an opening ceremony, this overly mild behavior will definitely displease the great Supreme Lord."
"We must take down this Great Wall at the fastest speed and with the most brutal means, and give the Supreme Being our due performance."
"That's right, Demiurge. That's exactly what I was thinking about."
Cocytus agreed.
He couldn't just use force to overthrow them, as that was too brutal. Even a warrior like him knew that this behavior was an insult to the eyes of the Supreme Being.
However, he could not be too indecisive. Doing so would neither earn him the appreciation of the Supreme Being nor highlight the majesty of the Great Tomb of Nazarick.
"We need to give the Supreme Lord a magnificent drama. We cannot waste too much time in a place like this, nor can we be too rude or disrespectful."
"So... Cocytus, you and I only have one chance to attack."
A slight gleam of anger flashed across Demiurge's eyes.
"I am responsible for breaking through the defenses of this great wall, so that the leaders of these demihumans can lead their legions into the heart of the Holy Kingdom of Robur..."
"But I am only a watcher after all. The preliminary preparations can be completed by me."
Demiurge paused.
"But the war from now on will be handed over to you. I will not help you then, because this is a mission given to you by the Supreme Being. The great Supreme Being is watching you, Cocytus."
"Don't let the Supreme Being be humiliated, and don't let the Supreme Being be angry. We must take over this country cleanly and thoroughly, and present the Holy Queen to the great Supreme Being!"
Demiurge lowered his head, then looked up at Cocytus with a smile.
Cocytus nodded heavily.
He will not disappoint the great Supreme Lord's expectations!
"I will not slack off on the mission given by the great Supreme Being and will do my best!"
The burning breath erupted, and the fiery fighting spirit was enough to distort reality.
The expressions of the ten most powerful demi-humans were horrified.
What on earth do these monsters want to do? !
——
The sun was about to set, dyeing the northern wall of the Holy Kingdom a copper color.
This massive wall of obsidian and mithril stretches across a gap in the Rift Valley Mountains, with magical runes etched on the battlements glowing in the twilight.
The beacon towers where the legion was stationed were emitting smoke signals. Thick black columns of smoke pierced the sky, echoing the alarms from the adjacent beacon towers.
Many soldiers felt their scalps tingling as they looked at the coalition force of hundreds of thousands of subhumans below.
"The goat tribe's heavily armored cavalry... the snake tribe's poison spear phalanx..."
The young soldier's knuckles were clenched white, and his iron armor wrist guards made crisp sounds when they hit the arrowheads on the city wall.
He looked at the alien coalition that stretched for ten miles below with an expression of disbelief.
"How did these sub-races unite together? There are more than ten races here!"
Although there are many sub-human races in the other world, except for the huge races such as orcs and minotaurs, the other races are relatively scarce.
Moreover, since the sub-races themselves are of different races, they rarely unite together.
This is one of the reasons why humans can resist sub-human races in this world.
Although the average combat power of humans is not as good as that of sub-humans, if they send millions of soldiers down to fight against the sub-humans whose old, weak, sick and disabled people only number a few hundred thousand, they can be worn out to death.
Moreover, the demihuman coalition was plagued by internal conflicts, and it was rare to see multiple demihuman races fighting together.
Under normal circumstances, two or three races would unite and come to the Northern Great Wall to seek advantage.
After the idiot demihumans on the opposite side realized that they had no way of completely breaking through the Great Wall, the demihuman coalition automatically retreated.
Therefore, unless the number of the sub-human army can be as large as their human army, the Holy Kingdom of Roble will not care about what is happening here at all.
The Holy Queen, the southern nobles, and the temple forces are fighting fiercely for national sovereignty.
Who cares about the lives of these soldiers in the border area...
And now, the grand scene of more than a dozen subhuman races uniting together is truly beyond the comprehension of the young soldiers.
It would take at least five or six elite human soldiers to replace one demi-human soldier. This demi-human army of more than 100,000 could not be defeated without 500,000 men.
Even 500,000 people may not be enough, after all, there are monsters like the Ten Sub-Humans on the opposite side!
But what the young soldiers could not understand was that the subhuman race occupying the hilly areas only numbered a few hundred thousand people in total.
In other words, all the sub-humans in the hilly area came out in full force this time!
If they were defeated and allowed this army of more than 100,000 to invade their hinterland, the Holy Kingdom of Roble would have to pay an unknown price to drive these demihumans out of their homes.
Perhaps, the Holy Kingdom will cease to exist...
"Newcomer?"
A burly man with a full beard walked up to the trembling soldier and asked with a smile.
He looked quite relaxed.
"Sir, I... I'm a new recruit."
The young soldier, who was doubting his life, saluted immediately when he saw that the person coming was actually a squad leader.
"Okay, there's no need to salute now. There's no need to be so scared. Even though these sub-humans seem powerful, it's impossible for them to break through the Great Wall!"
The sturdy man had a confident smile on his face.
"We have faced attacks from a kingdom of 500,000 troops in the past, but they still failed to break through the Great Wall. These mere hundreds of thousands of demihumans are nothing to worry about."
"The commander of the corps has already sent someone to report to the capital. We only need to hold out for the next half month, and reinforcements will arrive from the capital by then."
“Although we don’t know why these demihumans gathered together to attack the city, we are not pushovers! Besides, Lord Baraja and the squad leader are still here!”
The squad leader laughed and patted the recruit on the shoulder.
Pavel Baraja is the captain of the soldiers at the central stronghold of the Great Wall Guard. He is the one wearing black among the Nine Colors. He is famous for his excellent archery skills and his strength is not inferior to that of the Steel-level adventurer.
Moreover, he is here, and Pavel's elite archery team is also here!
That's a powerful team consisting of 51 elite archers, and the bows and arrows they use are all endowed with magic!
Even the knights of the Paladin Order, if equal in number, might not be a match for Pavel's elite archery team.
Therefore, in the captain's opinion, the new recruit had never seen the world before and was just showing his cowardice in his first battle... (End of this chapter)
