The Death Mage Who Doesn’t Want a Fourth Time

Episode 407: Evil gods with a higher priority than the troublesome post-war and ex-emperor's handling

Vandalu, who had returned from the temple after destroying Rodcorte, first returned to Darcia, who had succeeded in sealing Niltaak, and to the real Talos Heim, who had moved the city and evacuated it.

Then we decided to discuss post-war processing.

To be precise, the Amid Holy Nation and the Duke of Fazon have not yet surrendered, so the war is ongoing.... the Duke of Fazon, whose Duke is alive in the Duke's territory, will find it rather difficult to deal with the Holy Nation of Amid, where the new Pope, Ariek, who was the commander of the army and at the same time the top of the country, was killed.

But for Vandalu and the others, whose main forces have already been destroyed and whose more pressing political problems must be solved, it is time to move forward in anticipation of the post-war period.

"How do we announce Arda and the others?I know you can't hide it. "

When I processed Arda's soul, I cracked, cracked, and shed tears of blood on idols in the temples of Arda and its subordinate gods everywhere.And the devout believers heard the screams of God.

"It's not just Arda. The Union is a problem.Niltak just sealed it, so it seems okay. "

"Niltaq's idols and believers are fine, but Arda's God idols and believers sealed in Niltaq are no good."

The same damage was inflicted not only on Arda, but also on the gods' idols and believers who were hurt by the "Gods of Ice" Eupheon, whose souls were devoured by Vandalu, and Niltak's [Sinister of Reprisal].

The idols of Arda are not only on the side of the Holy Nation of Amid, but also on each Duke territory of the chosen kingdom of Olbaum…… but there is always one big town.

And it will be the same in human societies other than the Bahn Gaia continent.

There is nothing like Vandalu's country.I can't hide it very much.But it is also awkward to make public the fact that "Vandalou has processed and eaten souls."

Because the grudges of the followers of the Arda faction against the Vandalu are deepening.

Though the invaded side may wonder what to do with the war, the bad feelings from the losing countries are troublesome.This causes later diplomatic problems, development into skirmishes, and wars.

Even if there is another war, there is certainty that it can be unilaterally ravaged and won.Anyway, Belwood is dead and Heinz is dead.However, as the son of "Goddess of Life and Love", Vandalou thought, "Shouldn't we make an effort not to do so?"

... then perhaps we should plan a countermeasure from before, but Arda's own participation in this jihad was unexpected for Vandalu and the others, so there was no choice.

"Shall I blame the Dark Avalon?The remnants of the Demon King Army appeared there, and in fact Gudulanis is back again, so I think it will be persuasive. "

The Vandalou came up with the idea of Dark Avalon pushing the dirty man back to the Rokkaido.However, Darcia shook her neck sideways with a difficult face.

"That may be good, but I don't think the Amid Holy Nation can be deceived because it's a jihad that originally designated Vandalou as the Devil King."

"... sure, it might be difficult.If we succeed, we may only be able to deceive them for a short time. "

In this world, the information transmission technology needed to quickly compile and analyze information that has happened around the world is still underdeveloped.So, in the short term, we can deceive them.

However, it may be difficult to deceive people on the Olbaum-selecting kingdom side who plan to activate exchanges in the future in the long term with vast disguised information.

And the Amid Holy Nation... may not have listened to the announcement of the Vi 'dar Demon Empire in the first place.If you are to deceive, you will have to be so clever.

"So it was all the Vida gods who punished Arda, and it was Gdulanis, the demon king, who resurrected after Arda unsealed the seal.It was Vandalu who destroyed the demon king Gdulanis and the evil gods of the demon king's army, and saved the gods of the Vidaism who had been driven mad by the demon king.How about that?

The vidas are going to announce it as a myth. "

"I see. Everyone knows about the relationship between the Vi 'da and Arda, and the evil gods of the Demon King army that Arda was supposed to control the seal will soon be known on the side of the Olbaum kingdom.Regardless of Zantak in the Magic Continent, many people are watching Peria, Bottin, and Recklent descend. "

"With Darcia's proposal, we will be able to suppress the resentment of the Arda followers against Milord to some extent.I don't think it's perfect.... "

"Belmond, we have to give it up.There are too many people targeted.Let's do it slowly over the next hundred or thousand years.

If that doesn't work, I'll give up. "

Vandalou thinks that he should try not to leave the roots behind, but he doesn't even think "Never leave the roots behind."It's just following his good sense.

"Well then, I hope that Nuaza and the others will write the script and present it to my mother and the chief of the Vida Temple everywhere.Then unseal the recents and the Vi 'idah gods. "

"Yes, but Amid, the Holy Nation is going to need us to talk."

Um...

It was assumed that the post-war handling of this jihad would be more troublesome than ever in the history of the Burnguia continent, where the great Powers have repeatedly fought each other for centuries.

Because the wars of the last few centuries were two kinds: the Amid Empire and the Olbaum-elected kingdom collided on the border of the empire's Milg Shield and the Sauron Duke of the elected kingdom, or fought over occupied territories.

But in this war… the war that was later called the War of Arda, because of God's appeal for war, both the faction and the battlefield are different.

The Duke of Fazon cannot allow the Duke of Fazon and other nobles to rule, and it seems that many of the people still believe in Arda and reject the Vidaeans and the new race.Whoever will rule in the future is a troublesome land.

However, although it is a troublesome land, the only major port in the Olbaum-selected kingdom is the Duke's territory, which can be traded outside of the Bahn Gaia continent, so it also has its advantages.This complicates the thinking of each Duke of Fazon territory.

Reach out to poisonous liquor to get the bounty of the ocean and trade, or poison other dukes to force themselves to borrow under the name of "aid" for profit.

You might think it's dirty to talk about politics as soon as you win jihad.However, the dukes are politicians and are obliged to develop their own territory, so it is only natural that they should play some part.

Nevertheless, the treatment of the Duke of Fazon, which the Dukes of the Olbaum-elected kingdom consider to be the most ideal, would be for the Vi 'dar Demon Empire to occupy and rule as an enclave.

The Vi 'dar Demon Empire will take care of all the trouble, and some of the Duke's territory, far from the border mountains, will be closer to each other, making it easier to trade.

And the Dukes of the Olbaum understood that the time was long past when the power of the Vi 'dar Demon Empire would grow.

But for the Vandalus, the Duke of Fazon is almost a hundred percent poisonous land with no taste whatsoever.The Vi 'dar Demon Empire, which reigns over the Mermaid Land in southern Bahn Gaia, the Magic Land, and the Land of Demon Kings in Gartland, has long gained the fruits of the sea.Also, a deal is enough to get around the enclave of your country.

I can only see the struggle of ruling the rebellious people against themselves, and I don't think I want it very much.Normally, the war-fighting generals will be given territory to rule, but in the case of the Vi 'dar Demon Empire, it is not a reward but a punishment game to leave Vandalu's home country.

Still, if the Vi 'dar Demon Empire were to rule over the Duke of Fazon, either Vandalu would fall under stress or the sanity of all the Duke of Fazon's people would be lost first, and a battle would unfold in which no one would win.

That's why Vandalou has no interest in the Duke of Fazon.

Therefore, the post-war processing of the Duke of Fazon territory will take place mainly in the Olbaum-elected kingdom.First, we will discuss who will lead the army for the Duke of Fazon's assault, which has not yet surrendered.However, the army of the Duke of Fazon is already devastated, and half of the lord's general is dead, so it will be an army of all shapes.

But the Holy Nation of Amid cannot let the Dukes of the Olbaum-elected kingdom deal with it after the war.

Because Vandalu himself moved the border mountains and physically separated the border between the Duke of Sauron and Milg Shield.

Of course, you can travel around with spatial attribute magic, but there are only as many spatial attribute magic users as Guffadoughan and Jane Doe who can freely move large numbers of people.

Or change the shape of the mountains to restore the separated borders or create tunnels… which means returning to contention in the east and west of the continent.

As for Vandalou, there is nothing wrong with the Olbaum-elected kingdom invading and occupying the Holy Nation of Amid.Instead, Sauron Duke Elizabeth and Jahan Duke Hadros said they wanted to do it, and they were going to work together in Norinori.

But Elizabeth said, "I definitely don't want to leave without your country's help in the future!Hadros said, "We still have a lot of Arda followers in our territory, so I will refrain from partnering with the rebels on the Amid side."

The Schneider of Thundercracker said, "Why don't you heal it?"I thought I couldn't do it.I was told my best opinion.

Therefore, Vandalou initially thought as follows.

"That's enough. Let's leave it alone."

Leave everything behind, what happens to the Holy Nation of Amid, what happens to the state that was part of it.

It is almost certain that the former subordinates will wage a war of independence and continue to develop into a struggle for leadership among the former subordinates, which will lead to mudslide warfare, but it is not something we have learned.

And even if a new order is established to avert and calm the war, it may once again bring war to the Vi 'dar Magic Empire or the Olbaum kingdom.

All we have to do is defeat those who have attacked across the oceans and mountains and make them undead.

We, the Vi 'dar Demon Empire, suffered a war of aggression and defeated it.There is no blame for leaving behind the valley built on the side of Milg Shield.

The Son of the Vi 'da, so neither the Arda followers of the enemy will actively kill nor fall into that state.

But I don't think I'll take care of anything.They are human beings, not livestock.Humans must have their own will and thoughts.The Amid Holy Nation and its subordinates will save us from muddy wars and reckless wars.

At least there is no more God who incites jihad.

After explaining the above to Mashkusar of the body world, Vandalu continued:

"I thought so, but when I actually went to war, the jihadists were better than I thought.To be precise, troops were sent from the Holy Nation of Malmook, the Iron Nation, Karahad, the Sea Nation, and the Amid Nation of Yond, the Grain Nation, which participated in the Jihad. "

I see.

"So we want to help those who have responded to Peria and Botin's mysteries, and in the future we want them to be the hub of the country and rule the western part of the Bahn Gaia continent in the three former dependencies of the Holy Nation of Amid."

"... will you let Peria and Botin, the pro-Vida gods, become independent in their respective kingdoms?It's a good idea to secure the possibility of later diplomacy and commerce.

Milg Shield is pathetic. "

Mashkusar largely understood from Vandalu's account what they intended to do with the western part of the continent they once ruled.

I also know the reason why Milg Shield has been removed from my country, which is trying to empower and make it independent.Unlike the other three countries, that country, like the Holy Nation of Amid, has principally believed in Arda.Half of the reason I was judged to be a second Amid Empire if I succeeded.

The other half would be past grudges.

Milg Shield carried out two expeditions to Talos Heim about 200 years ago and about seven years ago, destroying Talos Heim at that time on the first expedition 200 years ago.

Moreover, it was Count Thomas Pulpapek, then Military Sergeant of Milg Shield, who planned to capture and execute Darcia and Vandalou and turn the Five Colored Blades into a token.

Regarding the expedition, the original vampires were leaping behind, but even thinking about it, they thought it was "unworthy of compassion".Yes, Mashkusar thought.

(Nevertheless, compared to my homeland, it's much better.)At least, it is possible to survive)

After this, Vandalu and the others think that the Holy Nation of Amid and the Milg Shield will unite Karahad, Malmook and Yond into a common enemy to turn away from their former enemies.

But the Holy Nation of Amid will be captured and incorporated into the former kingdom much sooner than the Milg Shield Nation.Anyway, the Holy Nation of Amid is in the middle of the western continent, surrounded by other subordinates.Even though it is weak, I don't think a country without a politician can stand it.

By contrast, Milg Shield will have time to rebuild itself because of the Amid Holy Nation's proximity to other subordinates.

The arms of King Milg Shield and his nobles, and the possibility of surviving as a country, depending on luck, are not zero.

Having said that, Mashkusar switched his thoughts from the fate of his country to that of Milg Shield and asked Vandalu.

"I know what you're talking about, but why did you talk so much?I already know the answer. "

"I see. Have you noticed that I am about to give you and your relatives to each of the three countries?"

I still think so.

One of the forces that Vandalu and the others would do to Malmook and Karahad was the identity of those responsible for the invasion of the Holy Nation of Amid.

"I succeeded in taking down a man named Carmine of the 'Zero Sword' in jihad and securing the spirit.I was putting holy water and charms in my pocket, so I was in danger. "

Carmine of the "Zero Sword", the summer of the "Fifteen Shattered Swords", who had spared Mashkusar's relatives (excluding the Duke of Marme), also joined the jihad at the behest of Pope Ariek.

Carmine himself would not have wanted to be on the front lines, but we cannot disobey the orders of Pope Ariek, who became a politician on behalf of the Emperor.For that reason, he would have come prepared as long as he could have thought that if he had been killed, he would not have recovered the spirit.However, before I realized it, the spirit remained on earth.

"I see... he was a capable man.If you're going to use it as an undead, you can use it. "

"Yes, in the meantime, I'm going to have the people who were the Fifteen Swords when I was ready.

Anyway, you and your relatives... we'll find him and secure him first, then we'll listen to his wishes and decide with whom to send him. "

Whatever you choose, you will eventually be sent to a country other than Milg Shield, but Vandalu seems willing to consider where she wants to go and with whom.

Politicians in their country may want babies or young children who don't know anything, and adults may not need them, but they are going to talk about it.

"So I thought I'd explain it in advance.And if no one wants to go with you, I will send you alone to a country where there was no one to hope for. "

"Probably will."

Vandalou didn't think Mashkusar had a good relationship with his relatives in the general sense of the word.And that was the right answer.

Mashkusar, who was officially married and had no heir because of his long life expectancy in the half-elf, kept a "reserve" for emergencies.

It was the descendants of Mashkusar's brothers and relatives who did not set up another house, like the Duke of Malmé, or their own children who had their concubines give birth informally.

Those are the relatives he ordered Carmine to escape.

The former still had a superficially good relationship with Mashkusar.But it's closer to a supervisor's relationship with a subordinate than a relative's.

The latter had nothing to do with it because they had raised him without telling him that his father was Mashkusar in the first place.For the first time, you must be surprised to know that you are Mashkusar's son.

Speaking of Mashkusar's bloodthirsty son, Sieg, the stepson of Zorcodorio, a member of The Storm of Atrocities... neither of them named him.

For Vandalou, he was Zolcodrio's son, and Mashkusar knew that naming him would only hurt Vandalou's mood.

However, neither Mashkusar nor Sieg have parent-child feelings for each other.

On the contrary, all hail Mashkusar, as there are those who draw their own blood inside the Vi 'dar Demon Empire.... even if Sieg doesn't know where he comes from, or if he's not interested in the western continent, he doesn't know what will happen to his children and grandchildren.

It is slight but possible.That's enough for Mashkusar.

"Whatever happens, I'm going to get you out of here in the near future."

"I see... there's no other way"

Mashkusar was more sentimental than when he was talking about his relatives when he saw the huts he had built and the fields he had cultivated.

When the date changed and the continent was busy, Vandalou came to Arda's sanctuary to perform the post-war processing that only he could do.

We need to deal with the remaining Demon King Soul Fragments that Arda was in charge of, and there may still be seals on the remnants of the Demon King Army and the Vi 'idah gods he didn't use in Jihad.

"Some of us carry them to you, but not all of them."

I'm sorry to have to struggle after the war.

Prior to that, Peria, Bottin, Xantak and Recklent were released and gathered here with the Vi 'da and Zulwan.

The Vi 'idah gods they sealed have already been freed from Demon King Soul Fragments by Vandalou.However, the Demon King soul fragments have only been re-sealed and have not yet been eaten.

Vandalou's nature is close to that of Gdulanis, having taken a large amount of Gdulanis Soul Fragments over a short period of time.For this reason, we plan to absorb it over time in the future.

I came to Arda's Shrine in order to see if Vandalou's soul processed Arda is really working.And above all, to know what God is like when it's sealed.

I confirm, but if it is a God who seems to be a remnant of the Demon King army, it will be re-sealed.If you are willing to do it in this world and can coexist, solve the seal, and then see how it goes.Is that all right?

I have no objection.

The god Vandalou is trying to ascertain is Jarodips, the evil god of the sin chain.He met Bellewood 50,000 years ago and kept him asleep for a long time.

Depending on its power and personality, it can be a major threat to Belwood.But maybe you'll be a reliable ally.

Like the patron god of Gartland, there were cases where he belonged to the Demon King army at the time of the war with the Demon King Gudulanis, but changed his policy after the war.

That's why I'm here.

But according to my memory, this way... it's a dead end.

Zuluwan......

Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait!Er... the smell is this way! "

"Brother, you must be a lion.How long have you been a dog?

After smelling the smell of the ground with the heads of the four lions, Recent looks at Zulwyn as he stands at the forefront and walks out in the middle of nowhere.

Apparently, Arda was so afraid of the 'evil god of the sin chain'.They built a maze in the shrine and sealed it behind them. "

When Heinz and the others stepped foot, they were connected to the bottom of the dungeon, but then they were locked up even harder.

"... if I could do this, I wish I could concentrate on sealing the Gdulanis Soul Fragments."

Absolutely.

Arda herself solved the seal of the Gdulanis Soul Fragments, not by an unfortunate accident or accident, so it didn't make sense to use her strength?

...... rakuri

The more you know, the more you sigh.

The labyrinth was not only creating a trap that was difficult to escape from the inside, but also there were no monsters unlike the dungeon, so it was not dangerous, but it took time to reach the back.

I hear something.

Is this... the sound of a thin chain shaking?

Shortly after I thought I heard a slight, high sound of thin chains like a chain of pendants, I went out there.

"... this is... this is... I didn't expect a glorious god to come together..."

The walls of the dark stone hall are punched with countless piles in creepy shapes.A thin chain stretched out of the slight gap in the pile, and a voice was heard.

It's full of words... but let me show you how welcome I am.

The thin chains make a sound and are sucked into the gap between the piles.After it was over, the voice made a name.

"I am the evil god of the sin chain" Jarodips.Welcome to the great god... what is it, you? "

"My name is Vandalou, and I recently became a god."

Due to the narrow passage, Vandalou, who was crawling in a grotesque way at the rear of the Zulwyns, introduced herself with the passage completely jammed.

This time, I visited the Divine Spirit not just the body, but only the soul.
