I, holding a long sword in my hand, only know one move

The structure that allowed all races to reach each other's realm and the Artesh camp to fight against other camps was successful.

But this was as expected - one of the parties would definitely attack first.

If they launch a joint attack, the battle will be stalemate until the Elf Alliance and the Goblin Alliance find a way to neutralize each other's trump cards: Zeroth Protection of the Void and Marrow Explosion.

It is estimated that a full-scale attack will begin within ten years, and the Artosh camp will be the loser.

Then the blade turned, and this time the goblins and the forest elves would attack each other until each other was destroyed.

——What will happen if the Artesh camp attacks first?

Chapter 73 It’s so silly and cute

This time, the Artesh camp has the upper hand - because they have [Divine Strike]. However, the alliance will not adopt a formation that will be completely wiped out by a divine strike, and the Artesian monks who have exhausted their strength will be temporarily weakened.

At that time, it will become a battle with the power of Abant Heim, and that is the purpose of the alliance.

Even if Abant Heim is a powerful fantasy species, the Zero Protection of the Void is dedicated to killing fantasy species, and the Marrow Explosion is dedicated to killing god species, once the Artesh camp attacks first, the Artesh camp will not win.

However, United was misled in this way, and this is not the case.

Artosh's [Divine Strike] - is large enough to induce all the firepower of all forces.

So the result would be the destruction of both the Artosh camp and the "Union".

In other words, if the Artesh camp attacks first, there will be no [Victory] in this war.

Ten years at most....the war will stop.

Ten years, yes, ten years.

One hundred and eighty [Ghosts] risked everything and gave up everything except their lives - and they also lost Hubi and Cheng. The result, even optimistic estimates, is only ten years of stalemate at most.

Suddenly, Rick seemed to hear someone talking.

Ten years of peace, isn't that enough?

That’s a pretty good result, isn’t it?

"...."

As an ordinary human being, facing the opponent God, let them stop the war for ten years!

"...."

Isn't this enough? It's quite enough. On the contrary, it can be said that it is done very well.

Don't you think that is worthy of being called a [victory]...

"Are you kidding me?"

Whose voice is that? Or maybe he is making excuses in his heart.

It doesn't matter which one it is, Rick roared as if his throat was torn:

"Bet everything on mankind! Lost Hubi! Lost Cheng! I only got ten years of short-lived false peace. Is that worthy of being called victory?! What happens after that!? It's a world that fears death again! You still want to win? Didn’t you wake up! That wouldn’t even be considered a tie—it’s not a good deal to be on the other side of the scale!”

There was only silence in response, and the boy who had been visible until just now was no longer there.

"....Hahaha, I really can't do it anymore..."

Hubi, Cheng, and Kelong are no longer around, and the game is over.

Then...there's no need to show off anymore.

Rick agreed with a wry smile.

Yes, that's right, my whole body hurts...

His body, which had been eroded to pieces by the spirit skeleton, was constantly experiencing severe pain, and he could no longer remember the last time he fell asleep.

Even just drinking water makes my throat feel like it's burning. Once the narrow horizon is relaxed, it will be closed forever.

Yeah, that's right, I admit it - I lost again.

As a result, I am tired of living a life where I can’t win even once.

If Shubi were here, I could survive even in this world.

Talking to Hubie, seeing her face, holding her hand, I can forget the severe pain.

"I just want to live with you..."

But since Hubie is dead, that's okay, right?

Rick leaned his body on the back of the chair, relaxed his whole body, and just like that, he fell into consciousness as if falling asleep.

"—Rick, Rick! Wake up!"

When his consciousness and soul were about to fall, someone stopped him at the critical moment.

It was a girl with bright hair, and her eyes were shining with hope.

"Kelong...sister...? What are you doing here?"

Rick squeezed out a name from his throat that made Ke Long's expression light up. The girl shook his body one after another: "Cheng, please ask me to come over and wake you up to prepare for the final step of the battle plan."

"Don't let that guy oversleep! That's what he told me. When I came over, I saw that you were still sleeping. Although it's unbearable to drag your body like this, you will die if you're not careful!"

.....What, am I already dreaming?

Rick thought this in a daze and wanted to raise the corners of his mouth, but he could only maintain an expression that was uglier than crying.

"Cheng and Hubi...are dead. What are you talking about?"

Really, I want to win even in my dreams...Don't let me win only in my dreams...

Too childish.

Kelon stared at Rick in his arms who wanted to continue to close his eyes, and couldn't help but tilted his head and said: "What? My stupid brother, you can't think of it, your brain is damaged by sleep, right?"

"Ah, yes, it's completely broken, so don't worry about me, it's very noisy." The brother who always refused to admit defeat actually said such depressing words.

Kelon was very surprised.

"Sure enough, if he doesn't take out that thing, this guy will really give up on himself." Kelon held his forehead in distress, threw Rick on the chair, and took out a palm-sized, thin silver coin from his cloak. White cuboid.

"Hey... I remember what Cheng taught me... was to press here... and then here...?"

Tik-dong, like the sound of water droplets falling, one side of the cuboid lit up.

"Wow, no matter how many times I see it, I still think it's amazing!" Ke Long fiddled with the mobile phone Cheng Rang handed her, then pulled Rick's collar and roughly pulled him up from the chair again.

The limp Rick shook his head and made a dissatisfied groan.

——You can’t let me die in peace

?

The shining rectangular parallelepiped was held in Kelon's hand and displayed in front of Rick.

The recorded video is played on it and sounds are made.

"Rick...Rick...can Rick hear Hubby?" Hubby's voice came out, making Rick feel as if a bucket of cold water had been poured on his head, and he trembled all over. Opening his eyes wide, he grabbed the "cuboid" in Ke Long's hand.

On the screen was Hubie lying on the bed, covered with a thick quilt, with only his head exposed.

"of course."

The perspective was rotated, and Cheng Rang's face appeared on the screen. Although his clothes and hairstyle had changed, there was no doubt that it was this guy.

Still feeling a little unbeatable as before, but a very reassuring greeting came, and Cheng waved to himself:

"Hey, Rick! I hope you didn't give up on yourself like a child who lost his most beloved possessions when you saw this."

"The traffic control settings are completed, but we encountered a small problem... Well, the news you probably received is that we were turned into ashes by [Sky Strike]?"

"Hubby... survived, Rick... so please don't give up!"

Hubie on the screen couldn't wait to stand up and move into the camera, telling Rick.

"Uh-huh, Hubie, be careful not to let Rick see you like you are now. Forget it, let's record again..."

Cheng Rang hurriedly held down Hubi who got up from the bed, then stretched his hand towards the screen, and the screen went black.

"...?" Rick looked at Kelon, who had cold sweat falling from his forehead, with a puzzled expression, and seemed to be asking her with his eyes: What is this?

"Oh, oh...it seems I misplaced it...hehe~"

Ke Long hit his forehead with his hand and tried to withdraw the phone in a cute tone, but was grabbed by Rick.

As if the fire of hope was rekindled, Rick's eyes flickered from darkness.

"Hubi...Hubi and Cheng, are they still alive?!"

Although I saw that Hubi had almost destroyed half of his limbs, there was nothing wrong!

Rick firmly confirmed the news - Hubie is still alive!

Ke Long scratched his cheek and said with some embarrassment: "Well...even though you messed up, it seems that you have regained your energy."

She sighed and said, "To be honest, when that guy Cheng came to me with Hubi, who had lost half of his body, he almost scared me to death!"

"So why did they go to find you first?"

Ke Long's tone was stagnant, and he looked at the ceiling in a tentative tone: "Ah haha, um... Cheng said, if you see Hu Bi like this, you might think you're scared to death." Maybe~"

"...That guy." Rick covered his cheeks without tears and said in a deep voice: "Actually, it was Hubie who was afraid that I would worry, so he didn't choose to come back, right?"

"..."

Did you guess it right? Sure enough.

Sensing Kelong's body stiffening for a moment, Rick raised a wry smile: "How could that be possible..."

Hubie, that idiot, no, I am also an idiot...

The moment I didn't see Hubie after waking up, I was almost worried to death.

I'm still thinking about this issue...

My wife is really... cute and silly.

Then, after experiencing a double roller coaster-like hell experience, Rick rolled his eyes and fainted in front of Kelon after confirming that the two of them were really not in danger.

"Remember to wake me up." After saying these 'last words'——

With a plop, he fell to the ground.

"Rick!!"

Chapter 74 [God of War] Artosh

"Meow~ Xiaoji really loves to joke, meow~"

The number one Flügel—Azriel, who was smiling like this, was flying like a leap.

"Xiaoji gets angry all the time...but! She is so cute~ Xiaoji becomes cuter when she gets smaller, nya~"

"——But is this kind of injury caused by that ungrateful bastard?" The lively tone turned cold instantly, and the murderous intention condensed into a substance rolled up a whirlwind around Azrael.

Azriel is particularly fond of the extraneous individual, who is now her younger sister Jibril.

Jibril, who could not predict her actions and went beyond common sense, was free and unrestrained, but when she went out alone, even the dragon spirits came back. No one can figure out the purpose and reason for her unique behavior.

But that was also because of the [uncertainty] given by the master, so Azrael loved her even more.

——But it seems that Jibril herself is bored with her from the bottom of her heart.

Concentrate all the huge power possessed by the Flügel into the [Sky Strike] released with just one strike.

After using that, Jibril turned into a child, but lost all her limbs, and with half of her wings shattered to pieces, she fell in front of him covered in blood with a miserable look of complete defeat.

It seemed that just returning to the tribe had exhausted all his strength.

what happened? How can it be?

Azrael even felt proud when she picked up Jibril who fell.

I am dreaming.

——So light...!
