I asked while looking into the eyes of the guy.

“Even if you hang Kuirau on any condition?”

“What?”

Kuirau was the name of another incarnation.

Sumonthema, Koamic, Kuirau.

Lizardman’s three incarnations.

“Are you going to kill Kuirau?”

“If you hand over all humans to me safely, I will kill Kuirau. Will you still refuse?”

“You are arrogant, human.”

“It’s arrogance.”

I chuckled.

“Why do you think so? Aren’t your three incarnations embracing equal strength? Then I don’t think there’s any reason why I can’t kill him.”

“Is there any reason not to kill him?”

Wooddeuk…

The throne’s hand rest was bent.

Koamik understood the meaning of my words.

The levels of the three incarnations are equal, so if you can kill one, you can kill the other two as well. So what I said was like asking, ‘If I can kill you, Koamik, why can’t I kill Kuirau?’

“Are you provoking me? You think I’m going to fall for that provocation! Do you think I don’t know that you must go to Kuirau to save the humans? Even if I don’t accept your arrogant offer, you’re going to fight him anyway, so do you think I have a reason to obey you?”

I replied with a smile.

“If not, I can kill you.”

Jump up

Koamik stood up from his throne and glared at me.

“Why are you angry? I am the one who has to be angry again.”

I kept a smile and clicked my tongue.

“What nonsense are you talking about!”

“You are the one who has the will to live first. do you think i don’t know I know that the reason you allowed me into the audience room was not to talk. It was an opportunity to kill me. Isn’t it?”

“…”

“Because I can’t lead an army to the audience room. I had to stand in front of you with only ten escorts. He must have thought there would be an opportunity to kill me easily.”

As soon as I entered the audience room, the action taken by his guard against me could not have been arbitrary. The existence that I worship as a god is standing still in front of my eyes, so what can I do?

Koamik must have instructed me to kill him when he got the chance.

I pointed that out.

“You gave me the distance to have a chance to kill me. But think otherwise. Do you think I can’t kill you at this distance?”

Coamic had never seen a human outside of a human ranch.

I didn’t even attend the representative ceremony, so I couldn’t see me and my family.

That’s why I gave up the distance so easily. He would have judged that he was strong compared to humans just by hearing rumors, and that he and the SS could handle it. Like Sumonthema.

“Sumontema was smart.”

I muttered to Koamic to listen.

“…”

Comic flinched.

What was the reason I was able to ride the mountain range?

Because Sumonthema gave me permission to travel.

Do you think Koamic thought that Sumonthema would have handed over the human to me calmly and allowed passage? Wouldn’t you think that Sumontema also accepted the offer after facing the same situation as Koamic?

It’s like turning a bomb about to explode on someone else.

“What did you propose to Sumontema?”

“well.”

I didn’t say the answer.

Koamic grunted, revealing his teeth.

Even if you don’t have to answer, Koamic will know for sure.

You’d think I’d promised to bring you my head.

“You only need one neck. There are three incarnations, and you are the second. So, there is still one left. What would you do? Will you hand over the human to me like Sumonthema did, or will you make a different choice?”

Although the three incarnations are of the same kind, they are destined to kill each other in the end.

I don’t know if the area can be infinitely widened. As the flock continues to prosper under his command, the territory becomes insufficient. Then, there was no choice but to advance outside or take away the territory of the same people.

This is why I thought Lizardmen were similar to Orcs and Goblins. Unlike other races, Lizardmen did not have friendship between incarnations, and only had the nature to grow by eating each other.

“Will you accept?”

I read Comic’s hesitation and asked again.

The reason for the hesitation was simple.

“Are you really capable of that?”

to doubt my strength.

Do I really have the ability to do that?

“Then show me! Can you really do that!”

Koamic clapped his hands hard.

Then the floor of the throne room caved in around me, and my foot snapped an inch below. The floor didn’t collapse. The stone floor had been shattered into fine pieces like grains of sand, forming a shape resembling an ant hell.

My body started sinking into the sand like a tidal flat.

Grrr…

Cries heard with vibrations from under the sand.

I figured out what it was.

It was a sandworm raised by Coamic as a death row inmate.

【Lv. 74]

【Lv. 67]

【Lv. 79]

【Lv. 75]

【Lv. 68]

【Lv. 73]

【Lv. 80]

The number of sandworms is 7.

Beneath my feet, in the sand, crying hungry, I circled around the guards.

Sasasasak—

As the insect moved, the sand stirred and the speed at which the body was submerged in the sand increased. I didn’t even do anything, but I was buried to my knees in no time.

“Edar.”

I watched the insect’s movements and raised my head at Calliope’s call. Her eyes were on the Coamic’s bodyguards who were besieging us before we knew it.

The guards looked down at us caught in the sand, revealing their murderous intentions, and put their hands on our waistbands.

human ranch(9)

Kihehehehe—!

The moment he heard Sandworm’s scream, Calliope snatched the spear of the guardsman behind him and stabbed him into the ground. The spear was deeply embedded in the sand, and the insect’s scream erupted again before breaking off.

The insect that was aiming for Calliope had died.

“I will dispose of it. Mr. Edar.”

“hmm.”

Calliope let go of her spear, lifted her right foot buried in the sand, and slammed it into the sand. As the feet dug in, the magical power gathered at the tips of the toes spread in all directions.

Tung—

Along with a heavy sound, a vibration rose under my feet.

Meee-

The sand gushed out and the sandworms jumped out.

Sandworm is a monster that is sensitive to vibration, so the shock caused by Calliope was painful enough to cause vomiting of blood.

The six worms just came out and collided with Coamic’s bodyguards who were coming into the sand where the guards had fallen.

“Quaaagh!”

And I didn’t just bump into it, but I chewed on the bodyguards around me with my crackling mouth as I struggled in pain.

“Take it off!”

Taking advantage of the embarrassment of the guards, Calliope led the guards out of the sand.

The total number of people close to the Empire is ten. Among those ten, four with relatively low levels protected me, and the other six, including Calliope, attacked the SS.

Awesome!

“Kuk…!”

“Uh, huh?”

Calliope’s sword cut the necks and arms of two bodyguards. The one whose arm was severed was smashed in the head by a guardsman after her with a warhammer swing.

puck!

Coamic’s bodyguards ranged in level from the early 80’s to the early 60’s. Even if Calliope was present, the imperial guard was not an opponent to win easily.

However, because those who belonged to the high level stepped back, they fell helplessly.

‘I wonder if I’m aiming for a comic, I’m watching.’

I clicked my tongue inwardly.

‘A stupid thing.’

I had to make sure to do that.

If you intend to kill me, you must kill me unconditionally.

I release sandworms on the pretext of evaluating my level, and I look for an opportunity to send the SS to kill it, but the main force of the SS is bitten? What are you thinking?

“Hey, wait…!”

That’s why you get such a stupid reaction.

Even while his family wielded swords, the SS, rather than counterattack, were busy retreating in embarrassment.

“What are you doing!”

Coamik, unable to see that, shouted.

The guy vomited the magic of his soul and bestowed protection on the guards. As the priests of the religious kingdom did, the divine protection rapidly raised the level of the bodyguards.

The chaos that swept the SS subsided in an instant.

The surging power must have made you feel uplifted.

He hardened his expression and blocked the attack of his family.

“Caliope. back off.”

I also raised the magic of the soul.

If left as it is, the fight would only intensify.

It wasn’t good to make a life-and-death decision with Koamic.

The presence of the soul that was suppressed was awakened. Unlike Comic, I couldn’t bestow blessings on my followers, but it was easy to spread my presence by radiating light with my soul.

Then, the SS, which had been boosted by the protection of Coamic, stopped moving. You should have realized that I am the same as Comic.

I was surprised by the existence of another god.

“Yeah, so did you.”

Koamic frowned and murmured.

You must have guessed it from the moment I arrived in the audience room.

How can you not see the soul when you know how to handle it?

Following the advice of the Dragon Lord, I try to hide my soul’s status as much as possible, but a being like Sumontema or Coamic would have realized that my soul was unusual.

However, I didn’t know that much, so I was testing myself.

“Has your curiosity been satisfied? Or will you continue?”

I raised the corner of my mouth slightly as I met Koamic’s gaze.

“···stop. I had to stop.”

Koamic raised his left hand and bit the bodyguard.

As if waiting, Sandworm ran into the sand.

The duration of the collision was short, but the damage was not small.

3 Sandworms and 13 Lizardmen.

On the other hand, the family did not even suffer minor injuries.

Looking at the criminal record, I smiled broadly, and Koamic wrinkled his face even more.

###

Koamik held back his boiling anger.

It was because his pride was wounded by cattle.

‘I dare not be a human.’

I guessed from the fact that Sumon Tema opened the way. There is something about the person in front of you. However, Comics did not readily admit it.

The only humans he remembers were those raised on the ranch.

How dare you intimidate him with cattle?

I didn’t tolerate that kind of look.

‘Damn it.’

But now I had to admit it.

If you don’t admit it, you will only suffer loss.

‘I can’t believe I gave in to cattle.’

What should I do now?

There were two options given to Comic.

The first option was to make a life-and-death decision.

‘If we fight like this, the odds of winning…’

The odds of winning were low.

Look at that human woman’s inaction.

Didn’t you neutralize the sandworm with one kick?

This was an overwhelming inaction that even Coamik couldn’t see.

‘There are one hundred guards in the palace. The guards must be waiting around the palace by now. No matter how strong that b*tch is, it won’t weigh down the sheep, but the damage will be severe.’

Before killing Edar and Calliope, Koamic feared that he might die.

Not just a hunch, but a risk close to certainty.

‘You said you were aiming for this from the beginning?’

Coamik recalled Edar’s point.

– You gave me distance to get a chance to kill me. But think otherwise. Do you think I can’t kill you at this distance?

It was as it was said.

If Edar kills Koamic, he won’t be safe, but if Koamic tries to kill Edar, Koamic won’t be safe either.

‘Did you pass Sumontema through a trick like this?’

He glared at Edar while spitting out curse words.

‘Even so, I don’t want to give in to humans.’

The second option was not allowed by pride.

Coamic was different from Sumon Theme. Even if he wanted to kill the other two incarnations and become the only incarnation, it wasn’t like this.

I didn’t want to admit that I had to borrow the power of humans, who were no different from other races, but like livestock.

‘I don’t need the help of cattle to catch the other two!’

There was no trust in the first place.

Didn’t you negotiate with the two incarnations, Sumonthema and Coamic?

Is there a law against playing another trick on Kuirau?

There was no belief that a human who played with the representative system with his three tongues would produce beneficial results for Koamic.

‘Sumontema, an idiot.’

If Sumonthema hadn’t given way, there wouldn’t have been a need to think this complicatedly.

If there was even a little extra power, if the imperial army had appeared in a place other than the capital, they would have reached a conclusion without any negotiations.

Quickly, he gnashed his teeth and boiled his anger.

‘You should have asked me for help! If so, I or Kuirau would have helped—’

Suddenly, I stopped thinking.

‘Help?’

okay.

there was a way

Not the previous two options, but the third option.

Pretending to have an offer and pinning it with Kuirau.

‘That’s right.’

He promises to hand over the humans, but kills Kuirau instead, and sends the Imperial Army to Kuirau. Then, while recalling the expeditionary force sent to the Mycenae Empire, he pursues the Empire.

Even if they give us permission to pass, we have to keep an eye on them so they don’t do anything stupid. What if I gather an army while chasing the imperial army pretending to be watching, and then attack with Kuirau?

It’s simple, but there was no surer way.

‘Of course… this assumption requires a prerequisite that Kuirau fights with humans. But Kui Lao definitely will. He’s the toughest of the three of us.’

The personality is also the personality, but the situation was also good.

If Coamic had given Cuilau the news ahead of the Imperials, he would have had plenty of time to prepare, and Cuilau’s kingdom had no detours to storm the capital.

‘I received this kind of humiliation because the capital city, which was no different from the heart, was taken by surprise. But not Kuira. It is futile to look at the border fortress with an army that is less than 10,000. It would be difficult to capture even one fort. Are you the kind of person who would be mortified by the capture of one of those forts by Kuirau? It just makes me angry again.’

Coamik or Cuilauna was an incarnation.

Hwashin had high self-esteem as a being worshiped as a god.

Would they tolerate being coerced by livestock?

Sumontema, who bent his pride and took advantage, was an unusual guy.

‘It might cause damage to Kuirau.’

If we do well, after catching the humans, wouldn’t we be able to catch Kuirau as well?

Being used by humans was not acceptable to her pride, but when she thought of using humans, she liked it.

“I will hand over everything as you suggested. Bring me Kuirau’s head instead. After you bring me the head, I will hand over the human.”

“I will.”

Edar answered the same as he did to Sumontema.

“When are we leaving?”

“Ten days later.”

“It stays for quite a while.”

Comic laughed inwardly.

Ten days, enough time to inform Cuilau.

Even if it was not enough time for the expeditionary force to withdraw, it was enough time for Cuilau to grasp the situation and muster the remaining forces in the territory. We had to take into account the time the Imperial army headed for Kuirau’s territory.

‘If I send a messenger through the familiar, at least part of the expeditionary force will be able to join before he crosses the border.’

But the laugh was short-lived.

“Because the second party didn’t arrive.”

late start?

Aren’t there ten thousand people?

The number of imperial troops that reached the capital was ten thousand.

Coamik, who thought they were everything, was taken aback.

“How many people will cross the mountain range?”

“well.”

From noble mtl dot com

Edar twisted the corner of his mouth and avoided answering.

The power of the Imperial Army was revealed after three days.

“Fifty thousand?”

The second corps was five times as large as the advance corps.

Unlike the advance party, which was less than ten thousand years old and carried bladeless spears without proper armor, the second group was a large-scale unit equipped with heavy armaments.

“…that’s what I saw. Have you reached Kuirau?”

In the meantime, Koamic sent a dispatch to the expeditionary force to order a withdrawal, and also notified Cuilau of the appearance of the Imperial Army to prepare for it.

“yes. Kuirau-nim also decided to immediately turn the expeditionary force. You asked me to periodically tell you where the human armies are headed.”

“hmm. Well done in informing Kuirau.”

But my mind was not at ease.

The humans he knew so far were livestock living on a ranch. Among them, the least good livestock were the arena and war slaves, but they were also very poor if you look at them calmly.

But what about the imperial army?

‘To see that there are only a lot of numbers, the armed status and military discipline are considerable. The fact that he crossed the mountain range is proof that he is not a petty soldier.’

Koamic was more shocked than when Edar revealed his soul.

Even though this was the first time he had seen Edar in person, he wasn’t too surprised. I already thought that he was an unusual human being because each of his actions in the representative system was huge.

Shouldn’t it be to that extent in order to act in a representative system?

The Imperial Army was different.

An expeditionary force of 60,000?

In terms of numbers, it was no less than the expeditionary force sent to Mycenae.

‘Compared to the numbers, the internal stability won’t be great. It’s only been a few years since he conquered the peninsula and pretended to be the emperor.’

The problem was that in just a few years, the number had grown so much. If it’s enough to grow this much power in just a few years, what if you have more room than that?

It caused a sense of crisis in him.

“Perhaps… I should have targeted the humans before Vlad’s Mycenae Empire.”

must be killed now Comics confirmed.

When the expeditionary force returned, the numerical superiority was Coamick and Cuilau. Koamic was sure that if he rotated, the damage would be great, and even if he was playing with Sumontema’s tricks, he shouldn’t send it back like this.

“Keep an eye on the movement of the empire. He is the one who played with the representative system in his hands. I don’t know what else to do. If you see any odd behavior, report it right away!”

The Imperial Army departed on the tenth day as scheduled.

Coamic offered to send a guide, but Edar refused.

“I don’t need a guide. It’s a road I’ve been through a few times.”

“Is that the way you came?”

When?

Coamic asked, but again Edar did not answer.

‘Yeah, where do you pretend to be proud? The result won’t change just because you pretend to be great.’

Edar led the army at the forefront.

Coamic laughed at the route of the Imperial army.

It was meant to cross the river among many, many roads.

Crossing the river after boasting about how many times you’ve come?

“You know the way, but you don’t know at all. I guess it was a bluff.”
