For a while, the battle was in a state of weakness.

The battle was not taking place because Kronos' floating fleet had no intention of moving back to the southern part of the Kingdom of Bastein, and the Humanity had no intention of attacking either.

But inside, there was still tension in the war.

I defeated dozens of Urubosses in the last battle, but Kronos has a strong opinion that he will not retreat.

Of course I feel the same way.

As soon as we lose this war, Chronos' authority plummets.

Humans no longer consider defeated beings as gods.

Honestly, who in the world would worship a bald man who is being beaten by me?

If Kronos gives up this war, even though it is only a matter of time, humanity has been forced to give up its old faith.

Chronos, who is obligated to preach God to humanity, was never acceptable.

Rrrrgh. Knng.

Uruvos has been wandering the battlefield, collecting loot with all sorts of mechanical equipment.

Although the essence was taken back by Kronos, it was not that there was no harvest at all.

Uruvos is made of high quality steel.

Given that industrial flowers were iron, it was certainly a resource that would be useful to humanity.

And Urubos wasn't made up of nothing but iron.

The outskirts of the engine body where the giant essence resided and the power transmitters were made of Mana conductive gold, silver and copper.

They were also expensive resources that would be useful in many ways, so they were perfect for loot.

“The metal resources that are coming out of this field are enormous enough to build a little iron. ”

Allied military captains admired the scene of the complaint.

Essence resource income was lower than expected, but the amount of loot that was now available was unbelievable compared to the previous wars.

Currently, we were working on collecting centers, where the gold from the building exceeded a ton, and silver and copper multiplied several times.

With dozens of these bastards in existence now, the income from them was astronomical and appraisable.

Of course, there were more than a thousand casualties to claim this loot, but everyone was unaware of this level of casualty in a typical battle.

“So what's the total income? ”

A rash middle-aged nobleman asked a question, but the Field Commissioner hesitated.

“Not measurable at this time. ”

“Oh, really? ”

“Yes. As you can see, Urubos is just a small mountain, but it's all made of metal. How can we measure this value? ”

“I can see that. ”

An old man wearing a frightfully glamorous wizard robe who finished the middle-aged noble's question expressed his objection with an uncomfortable face.

“But is it okay to remove it with a bare knee graft? Uruvos contains Kronos' magic skills. I look at this carefully and see that we human beings deserve to learn. ”

“That's... ”

The Field Marshal, who had a short knowledge of magic, hesitated to answer, and I replied on his behalf.

“We already have knowledge of Urubos. ”

“Yes? Why? ”

“You showed up before Divinum. The Central Church took a closer look at it. And you know that horseman from the Josrahim Civil War? ”

The Wizard's Nobles hold their heads back.

Horsemen who appeared during the Yosrahim Civil War were also world-renowned horse-drawn weapons.

“You mean the weapons you used in the Grand Duchy of Rupert? Yes, I know. ”

“That's the same structure as Uruvos. The miniature of Urubos is the cavalry. Of course, it's the same size, it's the same functionality. ”

“Oh, yeah? ”

“Yes. And conclusive evidence that Kronos has orchestrated past civil war. ”

“I see.”

“And if you're interested, come to the Empire. Let me explain the structure of Urubos. ”

“Yes, I understand. ”

The old man grumbles.

There's no reason to revisit the magic skills that humanity already knows.

By the way, I don't know if the old noble is interested in Urubos or Horsemen.

Our empire stockpiles horsemen in storage and never uses them.

First of all, it's not worth a damn. If you have the essence to spin a cavalry, a white armored unit will come out.

However, it is not that we are not currently studying horsemen.

It is very useful for the era of destruction where essence is enriched.

Horsemen are the most reliable weapons system to replace human infantry, while also being the only magical machine weapon capable of greatly playing in harsh terrain, such as steep mountains or forests.

The reason is simple.

He walks like a human.

I clapped my hands at everyone.

“Now that I've checked, let's go back. We have a lot of work to do. ”

“Yes.”

I'm here to finish my tour of the loot harvest site, which has been cleared of priors and reports.

The battlefield is the place where human desire is expressed the most.

In this way, everyone fights well by showing them the crumbs that will fall into their hands, and giving them hope for the future.

“Hey, son-in-law, I'm here. ”

One winter day, Ilpane finally found our barracks.

Just when I was eating with everyone, I quickly stood up and gagged him.

I don't know if I should just stay next to the Lumen Kingdom queen and have a good time. I don't know if I'm going to crash here like this.

“I told you not to say that, right? ”

“Your son-in-law? ”

“Don't! ”

“Sorry. It's habit now. ”

Duke Fabious, who was having dinner with me, put down his knife and fork roughly.

“Hey. White face? ”

I gazed upon Duke Fabious for some time.

He looks gloomy and angry.

“Why?”

“You're not doing any weird tricks behind my back, are you? ”

“No, what? ”

“He just called you a son-in-law. ”

We all had the same idea.

I stared at everyone with a puzzled look and stiffened my expression greatly.

They still don't know the relationship between Ilpane and us. But Ilpane calls me son-in-law.

On the other hand, it means that Lumen Kingdom and I are forming a strange cohesion.

“Absolutely not! Don't get me wrong. ”

“Princess Ignes is the only heir to the Lumen Kingdom. She's a virgin.”

“Well, maybe not. Honestly, do you think he's one or two? ”

Duke Fabious pauses to see if he finds himself persuasive.

“I see. But whose son? ”

I rolled my eyes.

To be honest with you, I have to keep Shura in suspense for a while.

“I don't know. Who? ”

Duke Fabious slams the table with all his might.

“Bamboo! The Lumen Kingdom is the enemy of our humanity! And you dare to turn your back on us and make an alliance with them? ”

“I said no. Never, never! ”

“Then why does the word son-in-law come out of his mouth? ”

“Here's the unspeakable story. ”

“So what is it? ”

“That's... ”

As Duke Fabious makes a sharp shot at me, Alfredo holds back the duc, shaking his head.

“Duke. You understand. ”

“But this is treason. ”

“Here's the unspeakable story. ”

“So what's the story? ”

While everyone's gaze was focused, Alfredo responded frankly.

“White cotton. That kid used to like Princess Ignes. Perhaps you could not easily refuse the Lumen Kingdom's offer. ”

Everyone was frightened for a moment, and I was frightened and my eyes opened wide.

Oh, I forgot.

Alfredo knew roughly what I had in mind for Princess Ignes.

“Really?"

“Yes. I've been watching you for a long time. It looked like they were fighting, but inside they were very loving. ”

Old Cloud frowns quietly and shakes his head.

“That's why you threatened to kill Queen Lumen. To save the queen's life in exchange for her marriage to her daughter. ”

“No! I mean it! ”

Grolmog shakes his head.

“That's clever. Trying to satisfy his own desires with unspeakable politics. I thought it was a little too much for that kid to kill Queen Lumen, but now that I see it, that's how it's done. ”

Zambe looked at me with pity.

“Humans. You can't help but use such cowardice to win love, can you? ”

“No!”

Grolmog picks up a slug and throws it away.

“I'm not against anything. Good luck."

Duke Fabious stares at me as he leaves the restaurant.

“I understand your feelings, but you'll have to speak up next time. It can lead to big misunderstandings between countries. ”

Old Cloud grunts and follows the duc.

“Ahem. Love. ”

Zen Bae leaves, expressing regret over the food he ate or was uncomfortable with.

“But I don't think it's what humans do. ”

Eventually, there were only two left in the dining barracks.

Illpane, who was embarrassed for a moment because he didn't know English, looked at me with contempt.

“I, for one, am absolutely the opposite of this marriage. Whose daughter is the cheater of the world after? ”

I stared at Ilpane with a look of insanity.

“Hey, artisan. I don't think that's coming from your mouth. ”

“Artisan? Where are you going with this? I never had a son-in-law like you. ”

“Hey!"

Eventually, a rock burst out of my mouth. Someone made this fountain, and he was spraying oil everywhere.

I had no choice but to be amazed and amazed.

* * *

Rumors are as fast as running horses.

It also swells up like a snowball and goes to the fabric.

Especially when it comes to men and women.

So I went into surveillance of the elderly to silence the rumors early on.

I know.

These old men pretend to be polite, but they talk.

If a rumor spreads by mistake, I'll die beaten by lovers.

This war against humanity will turn me into an ugly war for women.

When my lovers hear this rumor, they won't let me live.

“You really need to keep your mouth shut. If this rumor gets out, I won't stand for it. ”

Zambe glances at me as I walk again and again.

“Is that correct? ”

“I said no!”

“Then you're the only one who should be proud. Why are you afraid of rumors? ”

“The cause of this war is devastating. ”

However, if this rumor spreads incorrectly, the cause of the war is greatly diminished.

I will be a bastard to Princess Ignes, and the cruelty I have done to the Lumen Kingdom in disguise of neutrality will only fall to the cunning of a cheater to get a woman.

However, Zambe's eyes narrow as she remains suspicious.

“Isn't it a trick to hide your tricks? ”

“I'm telling you, it's not. ”

“Then why did Princess Ignes invade the Empire? ”

“That's because the princess can't die in Lumen Kingdom. ”

“Why?”

“There's a good chance that when this war is over, Queen Lumen will die, isn't there? Then who's going to lead the peace process? Princess Ignes, the heir. ”

“That's true, but did you really intend to kill Queen Lumen? ”

“Yes, there is. ”

Zambe's eyes widen.

“You're really going to kill your mother-in-law? Ahhh... Humans can't use it. ”

“I'm not your mother-in-law! ”

“How can you believe that? You're already being summoned as a son-in-law. Then I guess we're done here. ”

“Here's a little verse. ”

“What?”

I squeezed my fist and said as if it were a threat.

“If you talk to someone else, you die. ”

“Got it. Tell me. ”

“Elfayenne has another daughter. I have a relationship with her. ”

“Who?”

“I can't go into detail. She doesn't like to be known. ”

Zambe's jaw twitches quietly.

“Hmmm. There was such a song anyway? ”

“Yes.”

“Well, it's very common for a powerful man like you to marry a sister at the same time. ”

I blinked my eyes.

“No, why would I conclude that? ”

“I heard you like Princess Ignes. The Holy Father's words, they're not lies. ”

“Oh, come on! I have no intention of instilling my personal feelings in this war. I was only doing my part for humanity. ”

“Human, are you? Ahhhh.”

“It's true!”

Zenbe said she tasted it.

“I see. Pretend you believe me for a while. ”

“Not pretend to believe, but please believe. This Orc is stuffy. ”

“It's so weird. ”

“It's not weird at all. I just meant what I said. ”

“Well, you'll see when this war is over. ”

“Yes, you're right. You'll find out when it's over. ”

Zambe left me smiling bloody.

“But you're not killing her. ”

“Hey!"

I turned my fist toward Zambe's ashes as I was leaving.

This Orc doesn't even listen to people.

But I decided to keep my mouth shut. If the rumors don't spread, I survive.

I ran straight to Grandpa Cloud's barracks.

“Grandpa! I need to talk to you. Come out!”

Soon after, Old Cloud from the barracks smiles, and I wipe my face.

This old man has no idea how to keep his mouth shut.

But it must be done.

For the peace of humankind and the comfort of my life.
