Chapter 614: Unreliable Ultimate Move (Please Subscribe!)
In his personal world, Izay found various supplies originally stored in his portable space.
These supplies were now floating in the air… like plankton in the ocean.
Izay used his authority in this world to gather and organize them all. Then he built a warehouse to store these supplies.
The food reserves in his portable space were sorted separately by Izay.
He picked out a large room in the newly built warehouse, removed the concept of “time flow” from it, and dedicated it to storing food and ingredients.
While organizing the supplies, Izay also built a living place for his two daughters.
The estate they established together, combining their opinions and ideas, had a courtyard, garden, and orchard, where Xiao You and Cat could play around as they pleased.
After indulging in his “I can do anything” creation rights in the small world, Izay didn’t forget to look for his weapons.
The floating [Que Xie] and World Tree branches in the sky were found by him and placed near the Tree of Life.
Thus, after integrating the three spaces, the messy small world was finally tidied up by Izay.
After confirming there was nothing left undone, Izay exited his world.
Back in the tent at the camp, Izay first glanced at the portable magic stone clocks allocated to each tent.
The time had passed about an hour since he left, matching his perception in the small world.
Apparently, without deliberate interference, the time flow speed in the small world and Orario was the same.
Keeping this information in mind, Izay looked up at the top of the tent.
“Come to think of it… what was I going to do when Xiao You and Cat dragged me away?”
Staring blankly at the ceiling.
Izay retraced his memory.
Oh, right.
He was preparing to continue organizing his magical insights and binding the Magic Tomes…
Since deciding to create Magic Tomes, Izay had long completed all the necessary preparations.
Now, all that was left was to bind the special papers inscribed with his magical runes into books.
It’s just like printing and publishing a book.
A single page taken out is useless.
Only when they are gathered together do they become true “knowledge.”
Recalling his plan, Izay began the final procedure.
Meanwhile, on the other side of the main battlefield of the plain, almost forgotten by Izay, the Lagia Kingdom military camp.
The participating officers and the main deity were holding a military conference.
However, this military conference itself had little content, merely the main deity Ares angrily roaring because his side was already in disarray.
“Marius! Is there no good news on the battlefield other than soldiers being defeated, captured, or crushed!?”
The radiant Ares with golden hair slammed the table and shouted loudly at the cowering subordinates around him.
“Probably some…?” The golden-haired human youth named Marius helplessly shifted his gaze to the corner and sighed in response.
“Oh—!? Really? What good news!?”
“The strongest [Brave One] and [Silver Star] from Orario haven’t acted yet, does that count? … Oh, right, it seems the [Silver Star] advanced to Level 7 a few days ago. In terms of magical destructive power, he might be more threatening on the battlefield than that boar-man.”
“…”
Ares fell silent.
After a long pause, he finally managed to say something.
“What kind of good news is this!? Are you deliberately teasing me, Marius!?”
“—How dare I? Your subordinate is merely stating the facts. This war simply cannot continue. Let’s go back, Ares deity. Didn’t you get your lesson yesterday? Our army is no match against the adventurers of Orario!”
Marius frankly advised.
Unlike others in the military camp, he had his own judgment and could firmly counsel the main deity, making him a rare and valuable person.
“Grrr… Marius, what are you saying! How can we boost the morale of our enemies on the battlefield!? I have an army of thirty thousand!!”
“Correction, less than twenty-three thousand… We’ve already captured nearly a quarter of our soldiers in the three days since the war began.”
“—Ah! Damn it! That cursed Orario iiiiiiii—!!”
Has our main deity gone mad? What else does he intend to do—this was Marius’s thought at this moment.
As the prince of the Lagia Kingdom, who has been following Ares under his father’s influence since birth, he now only feels exhausted.
The main deity, as a celestial deity, is actually fine in every way.
It’s just that once on the battlefield, he lacks common sense, giving Marius a massive headache.
Why are you a war deity who starts wars but doesn’t care about winning?
And with almost no chance of winning, why start a war at all!?
“Waaaaaaaaaah… I don’t care—! Marius! As my adjutant, you better come up with some strategies! Use your smart brain quickly~!” said the well-endowed main deity.
Marius endured the pain in his stomach and slowly opened his mouth: “If that’s the case, how about turning the war into a protracted battle, Ares deity? Until our spies successfully bring back Weirfu Crozo to the camp, then use the power of the Magic Sword for one last fight?”
Yes.
One last fight.
Marius didn’t even dare to use words like “turning defeat into victory.”
Because it was rumored that Weirfu Crozo was only at Level 2.
Could the Magic Sword he painstakingly created possibly defeat the Level 6 and Level 7 members of Loki Familia and Freya Familia?
Especially the Level 7 Silver Star, who was reportedly a Magical Arts user!
Moreover, he was also a student of [Thousand Fairies], one of the [Nine Demon Princesses].
The strength of his magic was undeniable.
He could only temporarily comfort his own main deity.
“—I’ll follow your suggestion, the entire army will act accordingly! If we fail again in the end, I’ll have no choice but to use my ultimate move!” Ares waved his hand and declared.
???
Marius instantly froze.
“Ares deity, what ultimate move are you referring to?”
“Hmph! At that time, I’ll personally intrude into Orario, capture a deity as collateral, and exchange it for the victory of the war!”
I shouldn’t have believed in his intelligence…
After hearing this, Marius immediately covered his face. Now not only was his stomach hurting, but he also felt dizzy.
“What do you think? Marius, you’re speechless too, right? This is the ultimate move that can’t be used unless absolutely necessary! Hahahahaha——”
“It doesn’t matter, do as you please~”
…
…
After the Lagia Kingdom decided to prolong the war, the originally fierce battle gradually slowed down under deliberate control.
The soldiers and adventurers on both sides were happy to see this situation.
Because they didn’t need to exert much effort, they could finish the war by slacking off and return home, or get the generous rewards from mandatory missions.
However, Finn, who acutely noticed this change in the main command tent, narrowed his eyes.
“An unexpected situation has appeared…”
“Is something happening? Finn.” Loki, drinking beside him, looked over.
“The Lagia Kingdom seems to be planning to drag out this battle. I thought after launching a swift attack, they would at least retreat their troops.”
“Would it be troublesome if the war is prolonged?”
“They must be preparing some secret weapon. It’s not necessarily bad, but it’s such a waste of time.”
I initially wanted to end this war within a week. Finn added a straightforward sentence.
There are still remnants of the Dark Faction in the city waiting for Loki Familia to clear out. The Halfling Tribe Leader never intended to waste time on the battlefield from the beginning.
To be honest, after advancing to Level 7, Finn didn’t even plan to let those remnants survive peacefully until the end of the month.
“In that case… I think we don’t need to focus all our energy on the battlefield. Aren’t Freya’s group always slacking off? Let’s pull her out as a shield. We can return to the city early to prepare. Anyway, I feel someone at home can’t stay idle anymore~”
Loki rolled her eyes, noticing her divine blessing disappearing again, she almost didn’t say that person’s name.
Finn gave an awkward dry laugh upon understanding the implication.
As for the “someone” Loki referred to… he was visiting his teacher.
