Link the Orc

The public of all races, the undead.

It felt like an unstoppable entity that would bring about the end of the world, but it wasn't really that dangerous. In the last few battles we fought with him, not all factions fought with all their strength, but each tribe picked out a warrior and fought with him.

That alone was easy to defeat and seal.

A being that is public and powerful, but can be dealt with at any time if they decide to defeat it; a being that is not dead but is not threatening; and a being that can justify the domination of leaders as a threat to each species. That was Abenego's position as the undead.

In situations where even humankind deteriorated so much that most humans forgot the existence of Avengo and only remembered a few rulers of the empire, forces such as giant monsters were used to justify domination as humanity's enemy.

Thus, the rulers of humanity, or humanity, did not take Abenego so seriously. It was only a matter of time before the soldiers were sacrificed. That's why you sent soldiers to the Common Empire, and the core force didn't think to move.

And then Bolaz dies, and the Kremlin is destroyed.

The destruction of the German Empire has created a crisis for the rulers of all nations. Not exactly the demise of the Far Empire, but the demise of Volaz.

Even if the Empire falls, Bolaz must not die. But he's dead, and that means they're probably dead, too.

The crisis rulers began to take drastic action.

“We're recruiting soldiers to be heroes in the Old World! ”

As always, since the battle with the ‘undead' began, all human kingdoms and empires continued to imprison in the slums. Today, however, something was different.

“I came first! ”

“Soldier! Pick me first. I'm very strong! ”

“Get away from me! I was here first! ”

All the men and women of the Slum line up in front of the guards to become soldiers. The reason they stood in line was because the cons' reasons for me were overwhelming.

- Obligated abdomen for a year.

-Registration at the end of the service period.

- Provide residential and arable land at the same time as formal registration.

-Exactly enroll one family member per applicant.

-Prepare a small donation to the family per applicant.

It was a radical offer.

Originally, it was only possible to be dragged and obligated to serve for several decades, and to remain fully registered by the family for that long period of time. But as soon as I become a soldier, I can't believe you made a formal registration. I left everything else and made the poor deeply troubled by this alone.

And in addition to that,

- It's a one-time thing. If I miss this opportunity, I will never miss this opportunity again. From now on, he will be a compulsory soldier and no one will be able to escape from the prison.

This served as a decisive factor. You may not be lucky enough to be dragged, but most conscripts are dragged if they choose to. So he thought it would be better to be dragged into a very good condition anyway.

And then...

- Age restrictions, no gender restrictions.

It also worked a lot.

Older people who could no longer work at an old age, children who were too much to feed because of their children, and even those who were hurt and sick supported them.

The enlisted officers did not discriminate against them, but accepted them as soldiers. And the family registrations that were promised were implemented immediately in front of everyone. There were a lot of people who received formal certificates everywhere and jumped at joy.

Those who doubted the soldiers' words also ran out and stood in front of them. Nearly one-third of the Slum population stood in front of them, and the soldiers accepted them all.

A small kingdom called Burt, west of the Pram Empire. There were large enlistments as well as elsewhere.

“It's good. It's really good. ”

Since the birth of soft bread and warm stew, Adalhardt, a middle-aged boy who puts chicken and bread in his mouth like a trampoline.

Everything you can eat in the Slum is hard bread and water a long time after you make it. Stu was not a difficult food, but he could not afford it in the favelas.

I don't even have any firewood to heat my house.Do I have any firewood to cook warm food?

To increase the amount of bread, it is possible to make soup with flour and water. Because people in the Slum need to pay for their own firewood, they only spend it for a short time before they freeze to death in winter.

Along the side of AdalHard, thousands of slums were eating bread and stew that looked similar to AdalHard.

It wasn't just the food. I also received a clean blue dress and a sword. After training, I was also promised to support all equipment such as armor and helmets when I became a qualified soldier.

‘Good job being a soldier. ’

AdalHard thought that the choice to sprinkle Mother's mangroves and stand in front of the conscription was really great. I wouldn't have eaten this kind of food if I hadn't. A warm stew filled with chicken. A food that would not have been put to your mouth until you were old enough to live in the Slum.

And on the way, I heard that if you become a qualified soldier, you get paid too.

‘Mother, wait a little longer. I'll make sure you're well received. ’

AdalHard imagined himself returning to Mother dressed in shining armor and weapons. It was so good.

“When you're done, you'll go to the training ground to become a qualified soldier! ”

‘Finally.'

Adalhardt rises from his seat, tense and gripping his sword. You may not know what you're training for, but you must be a qualified soldier. That way I can go back to my mother.

‘He seems a little tough. Be careful.’

I looked at the people walking around with my eyes wide open. Everyone seemed to be the competition. I thought I'd have to defeat them before I could become a Special Forces soldier.

‘Even if I die, I will survive. Even if you die... "

“Everyone, stand here! ”

Arriving at 1,000 slums, it was a huge circular training ground that remained intact.

‘Why is it so red and wet? ’

The floor is strangely red and damp, but I soon stopped asking questions. There were other questions.

Above the high wooden table surrounding the training ground was a full of men and soldiers dressed in luxury.

They must be very tall, right? ’

Even the men in luxury clothes looked great, but the soldiers next to them looked even better equipped with perfect stamina.

‘I'm going to be just like them. ’

An elderly man standing on a wooden ledge, who looks similar to the blue clothes worn by the Slum, but dressed in more glamour, stood up and stepped forward.

“You are here to be honorable soldiers to sacrifice for Molan! Am I right?”

The old man said in a quiet voice, not like the old man. The people of the Slum murmured without answering a word in English.

“Answer me! Anyone who does not answer will be sent back!" Are you here to be an honorable soldier to sacrifice for Molan? ”

“Yes! Yes! ”

Adalhaud hurriedly replied that he was returning it, and everyone else in the Slum replied, even though they were a little slow.

“As an honorable soldier, can you sacrifice anything for Molan?" ”

“Yes! You can do it! ”

I don't know exactly what you're saying, but if you don't answer, you won't be able to become a soldier. Adalhad shouted for help, and the other favelas responded in unison, not too late.

“Swear by me! I am!”

“I am!”

“Sacrifice everything! ”

“I will follow you, Molan! ”

“Very well. With this, you are all honorable sacrifices of Molan." From now on, sacrifice the man standing next to you and send him to Molan. ”

The old man sat down at the end.

Sacrifice him how? ’

Suddenly I'm wondering, looking at the old man sitting there, not telling me how, just asking me to sacrifice.

“Aah!”

“Aah!”

Screams come from everywhere. Adalhardt also looks at the place with the screams. A few men pick up their swords and kill those around them. Familiar faces. Men who are vigilant because they have a strong body.

In fact, those men were soldiers. They put 10 soldiers in between 1,000 Slum people. To facilitate this ritual.

Those who did not know immediately understood what it meant to ‘sacrifice’. They pick up their swords and start keeping an eye on the people around them.

‘We have to run. ’

AdalHard, who had never hit anyone in his life instead of killing someone, tried to run away to where he had never dared to fight. However,

“Ahhhh!”

The idea was frustrated when someone who acted faster than AdalHard was killed by a soldier guarding the entrance.

"Why the hell..."

I couldn't figure out why this was happening, but Adalhardt shrugged and looked around. I've never fought before... but I had to live.

‘Mother, you must live for your mother's sake. ’

I have to live for the sake of my only family mother. If she dies, she'll be left alone.

“Aaahhhh!”

Adalhardt grunts and swings his sword at someone.

“Wow. Six. You've done well this time. ”

Cobert, king of the Burt Kingdom, said as he looked at those surrounded by blue fog.

Only six out of a thousand people survived, but they thought it was profitable because they were blessed.

The soldiers surround the blessed. The soldiers surrounded were all blessed. Occasionally, the blessed through this‘ ritual of sacrifice ’is to suppress without harm because there are times when the people who are blessed through this‘ ritual of sacrifice 'will have unrest.

Sacrifice is a ritual that produces people who are forcibly blessed by sacrifice. It is a ritual that is too cruel and requires too much preparation, but the rulers of the crisis in Bolaz's death agreed to proceed with a "ritual of sacrifice."

Sacrifice, which produces 1-10 blessed people by sacrificing 1,000 people, will be higher than 1,000, but it was more efficient to create and train a few outstanding soldiers than to feed, dress, and train 1,000 people.

Soon the blessing was over. Blessed were the three soldiers this time, and the other three were from the Slum. There were only five of the 1,000 soldiers, but we couldn't deal with them as veteran soldiers because the Slum had one sword. So only three out of a thousand slums survived, and three out of five soldiers survived.

As the survival rate of the soldiers was high and the chances of them being blessed were high, there were many soldiers volunteering for this ceremony.

As a Slum person, the three survivors were dragged somewhere by soldiers. Now you will be thoroughly investigated and vulnerable to fight for your kingdom. And take your time and get brainwashed.

“Here we go. Next. ”

Covert told me that the soldiers flew the body elsewhere. Now those bodies will be incinerated in one place. so as not to become an army of the undead.

Soon after the body was removed, 1,000 Slum people entered the area. Looking at them, an old man dressed in colorful blue, the high priest of Molan stood up and stepped forward. And he cried out.

“You are here to be honorable soldiers to sacrifice for Molan! Am I right?”

Although not the same as the Burt way, a similar kind of ‘sacrificial ritual’ was done everywhere in the human land.

That way, Moran began to gather and produce the blessed just as he wiped out the Slum.
