World Maker

Chapter 18 The Battle of Fortune

What is war?

Why is man at war?

Karl von Klauszevitz, Prussian strategist, who was also the author of "The Theory of War," wrote:

“War is a continuum of politics that eliminates the resistance of the opponent and forces our will. ”

Continuation of politics.

Trying to achieve it through war. That ultimate goal.

Politics was not necessarily used only in large and grand national units.

Politics was ultimately about giving others control of their will.

Even if only three people gathered, politics could emerge between them.

Human history with a foothold in the formation, development and development of society.

The politics that take place in between.

And the most violent, simple political means.

Therefore, human history was no exaggeration, even if it was the history of war.

Salt that can be mined in rock salts mines for now is often 'rocky’ and contains impurities. Because of this, it was better to melt in water once and filter out the impurities.

Wild coolers who have been using the rock salt mine for a long time have known that salt melts in the water, and Elders have empirically found that boiling water reduces the amount of water.

The Nectars combined those two knowledge and devised a way to filter out the impurities of rock salts using words such as earthenware that Elders originally had.

It was very simple: melt rock salt in water, make salt water, filter impurities, and boil water to collect salt.

I couldn't make the right 'stash’ because I didn't have the means to filter the impurities, so it was only possible for the almonds to pick out the big ones. It was impossible to perfect them, but it was definitely a big development if compared to before.

A combination of knowledge and literature.

Seeking new developments from different knowledge.

Isn't this the driving force behind human civilization?

Elders also realized a fundamental ‘division’.

Elders and nectars salt wild coolers with experience in rock salt mining. A small number of warriors who followed the Black Bear stood around the Rock Flame Mine and guarded their surroundings.

Rather than being like the monster lion Lakashai, which was a symbol of fear and death for wild coolers, it was considered ‘another race’.

Some of the vigilante troops took turns hunting. Although it's been quite a while since we started agriculture, hunting has still played a major role in Elders' means of food supply.

The Black Bear went on a hunt with the fifth star, one of the wild coolers, for the purpose of handing over the use of Atlantis and continuing the 'dating counseling' with the White Deer.

The main target was a hunt that came from both of them, but was not too big or dangerous, even though it was somewhat bulky, like a deer.

A black bear roaming around the Rock Fire Mine looking for a prey told the fifth star what happened this morning with a small voice.

Definitely better white deer reaction.

The fifth star said, "Today is your chance. Look after the sun."

The black bear smiled and touched the side of the fifth star with her elbow.

Heterosexuals.

Wild Cooler and Elder look quite different. It was enough to pretend that the two were different races.

But it worked.

And in the end, it was the same person.

Certainly there were other parts to the way of thinking or the conventional notion, but there were still some parts in common.

They say the same thing and exchange opinions and make friendships with each other.

Elder, Nectar and Wild Cooler, these three races would become one complete species over time. To the point that the three had different roots in the past.

But is the yellow god, the goddess of love, so beautiful?

The fifth star asked. Even among the Elders, it was only one Black Bear that had the chance to receive the Yellow God, if we restricted the Great God Warrior Lightning Storm.

A horrible smile on the face of a black bear who never received a yellow god twice. After all, I had no choice but to think of the black bear as a lunatic for the fifth time.

The black bear depicted the beauty of the yellow god with a passionate attitude. It even seemed nuanced that he was resentful because he lacked vocabulary and could only speak so monotonously.

Two people who didn't know if they were looking for a hunting ground or if they were just having fun with the chatter walked away.

The fifth star said again.

I'm so jealous. I wish I had the opportunity to welcome at least one of you.

One day it will come to you, too. Didn't I welcome you in front of me?

Is that so?

Yes, it is.

The two of them laughed at each other. The black bear knocked on the shoulder of the fifth star, and something long and sharp that had flown from somewhere pierced the neck of the fifth star.

It happened in an instant.

It took a little time for the black bear to understand the 'murder’ that happened in front of her eyes. The fifth star collapsed and trembled as if it were throwing up a strange groan.

And the second arrow flew in.

The black bear reflectively twists, and the second arrow passes in front of the black bear's eyes. Lucky for me, it was the only avoidance I could think of.

The Black Bear was Elder's warrior after the lightning storm. I realized I had to move instinctively.

The fifth star is dead.

He's not dead yet, he's trembling, but he's strangled, so he's as good as dead.

So the black bear erased the fifth star from his head. It may have been a bitter death, but from now on, to ‘survive’, I had to reduce my worthless thoughts as much as possible and focus my mind.

The black bear looks at the direction in which the arrow flies.

I saw dozens of people in the house with Sakaman skin. And one of them had an unknown branch in his hand. I didn't know the principle, but it was clear that I shot something pointy and sharp with it.

The streets are dozens of miles away. When I saw them sneaking up to this street, they weren't normal.

The Black Bear had a few Atlantis and Helmets because they were hunting.

Will you fight back to Atlanta?

It was the same as before, not this time. If there were more streets, it was suicide to fight tens of thousands of people alone in these streets.

Flee.

It was a moment when the black bear had such a heart.

Heterosexuals with black skin and coolers raised their bows at the same time. Ten arrows flew towards the black bear at the same time.

The white deer carried Elder's lieutenant around. But today I prayed to the yellow god in particular.

Black Bear's favorite yellow god.

However, it was not only the Black Bear who prayed to the Yellow God.

Yellow god, goddess of love.

The White Deer did not forget the Wind of Stones. I couldn't completely erase him from my mind. But I left him on the other side of the memory.

Please let the Black Bear come back safely.

The white deer, who could not pray for his relationship with the black bear, prayed for the black bear's safe return.

The rain of arrows was too much of an expression. Fifteen arrows were left with only one target.

The black bear eats bitterly. While lowering his body, he instantly raised the fifth star, still alive, as a shield.

Most arrows did not fit because they were meant to block early retirement. And three arrows that would pose a fatal threat were stuck over the body of the fifth star.

The fifth star was desperate, and the black bear was furious. But now was not the time to fight. For now, it was important to leave this position.

The black bear prays to the yellow god. At the same time as mourning the death of the fifth star, he wished his life.

We must inform Elders of this crisis.

Moreover, isn't there a white deer in town not far away!

The black bear stood up. I threw out a pitcher without targeting, and then hit the ground immediately.

The helmet is very brief, but it succeeds in catching the attention of the coolers. He ran a black bear, and the fangs and coolers again put their arrows on the bow.

Prayer made my heart godly.

It gave me peace of mind.

But it was different today. In an ominous feeling, the white deer prayed and prayed again.

The arrow poured out again. The coolers shot arrows for a range hit so thoroughly. That's why I missed so much. But it wasn't all like that. Several individual arrows touched the body of the black bear. And one of the arrows, the arrow from the fang, pierced the black bear's shoulder.

Terrible pain struck the black bear.

It was not just an arrow. The arrowheads used by the coolers contained a mild poison.

But the black bear couldn't stop. If he stopped for a moment, only ‘death’ would really wait for him.

Yellow god, yellow god!

The black bear cried out in his heart. I once again wished for a miracle, remembering when I was out of the hands of the past Nectars.

Wind.

Common wishes of white deer and black bear.

Did the Yellow God hear that prayer?

The moment I hit the ground like a bump, the black bear's body swells and stretches forward. It was fast. Even though I was injured, I was able to run much faster than usual.

Coolers were embarrassed by the black bear's sprint. Furthermore, the black bear's two feet were now glowing. Sprinkling yellow light.

Go after him! Don't miss him!

The fangs shout like lightning among the foolish cooler warriors. Instead of ashing the arrows, I hit the ground with two feet. I don't know what kind of trick he did, but there's no guarantee that his speed will continue. And where he fled, there was a big commune where there were other ‘xenophobics’. It was an opportunity to determine the enemy's location.

The coolers run along the fangs.

Tefnet alternated between the screen and the console.

Sitting in the room of the round table, she didn't want to just pass up the black bear crisis. I grabbed the console to rejuvenate it as before.

But before manipulating the console, before invigorating the divine power, a miracle occurred. The black bear's feet glowed, and the black bear ran faster than usual.

What happened?

Did Tefnet himself manipulate the console and even blink at the fact?

It was nonsense. I couldn't imagine that kind of oblivion.

But then what the hell happened?

Tefnet shook his head. It didn't matter now. The Black Bear was running for his life, and the coolers didn't give up as easily as the Nectars of the past.

With both fists tightly clasped, Tefnet looks at the screen in a feeling of fatigue.

The miracle that happened to the black bear wasn't that long. However, the Black Bear remained tenacious to the end.

It was not directed at the rock salt mine. I couldn't afford to go that way. Furthermore, the black bear is now in a bit of a frenzy. Concerns about the white deer shook his mind, and the black bear ran towards the village and ran again.

Fangs and coolers had superiority over other races in terms of endurance. The coolers tracked the black bear without rest, and slowly walked halfway across the street in less than half an hour.

A 'new town‘ inhabited by Elders, including white deer. ’

The black bear finally stopped screaming mentally.

Black heterosexuals, who appear to be from different directions, were attacking the town.

Fangs split the scouts in two.

It was dangerous to divide troops into two in an unknown danger zone. But fangs made a bold choice for efficient navigation.

A group led by fangs found a black bear and a fifth star.

The rest of the group of coolers found a new village built by Elders.

Elders' new town is still small. The wall was not properly erected either. There were not many people left in Tura, where most people went to the rock salt mines.

That's why a group of coolers attacked the town. I started ‘looting’ just like I did with the races I encountered in the past.

Some of the village's huts were broken. I also saw a dead man. The coolers were gathered in front of Elder's temple. Some cooler was grabbing Elder woman's hair and assaulting her.

I didn't see a white deer. The number of villagers was too small. Is it gathered in the temple? Is that why the coolers stand in front of the temple?

Coolers and fangs also saw the town.

Coolers in town saw a black bear.

The Black Bear couldn't take it anymore. He vomits a roar and grabs the helmet.

The number of coolers around Elders' village was thirty, but it didn't matter. What the Black Bear had to do at this moment was fight.

Some of the coolers shoot arrows. The fangs also raised their bows.

The Black Bear turns around. The warrior's instinct aims at the fangs.

Twenty arrows will suffice.

The moment you throw out your helmets, they will fly away. And now I will pierce the body of the black bear, who has no way of avoiding or stopping it.

I knew the Black Bear, but it didn't stop.

The coolers also pulled the bow.

And a single flash crossed the air.

The pitchfork that flew with a terrifying noise penetrated one of the coolers that was pulling the bow beside the fangs. I took more than ten steps without stopping the cooler.

In a terrifying sight, the coolers were forced to stop for one moment.

It wasn't a black bear.

The Black Bear's helmet was still in his hands.

The black bear did not look back. I yelled at the fangs.

Lightning Storm!

The Black King pinned the ground.

A thunderstorm roars over the Black King, who grasps the one who calls the New Sword Storm instead of the Spear.

Only one.

Only one period.

But that was enough.

Lightning Storm.

Warrior of God.

Elder's first cavalry on a giant horse.

Like a black gust, it swirled among the coolers.

The cavalry's strengths could be summarized in two ways.

Impact force and manoeuvrability using fast feet when striking.

Horses were fast and heavy. And those two things themselves could be called weapons.

What happens to someone who gets hit by a fast running car?

The same could have happened to the infantry against the cavalry.

A cavalry attack represented by Lancashing.

However, the horse-drawn horse-drawn horse-drawn cavalry became heavily dominated as war technology developed.

The reason was simple.

If you have a well-trained infantry unit that will not be under any pressure from the cavalry, it will be easier to stop the cavalry incursion than you think.

The weight and speed of the horse became a double-edged sword that harmed the horseman when the spear was erected so that it would not collapse in spite of a strong seismic attack.

But this was a story when war technology was sufficiently advanced. It was not the appearance of such tactics that led to the fall of the cavalry.

Overcoming fear through training.

This was not easy. It was very difficult.

The number of horses that were heavily bred through breeding was large. The moment a giant beast with a superior head height ran at an enormous speed, man was ready to fall into instinctive horror.

The coolers were in extreme chaos. The surreal sight of a man stitched to a helmet and flying more than ten steps shook their heads in the first place, and the thunderstorm rush, reminiscent of the wrath of God, once again struck their minds.

Horse power.

It was indeed enormous. Moreover, the lightning storm-stricken Black King was already accelerating enough. In a moment of calm, the Black King digs among the coolers.

The black king's sturdy, thick feet crushed the cooler in front of his eyes.

That was not the end.

Who was on the Black King?

Thunderstorms were warriors. They were fighters.

He did not show mercy to the coolers who destroyed the town and killed the Elders.

The one who called the Needle Sword Storm drew a ruthless trajectory with his brains.

Several of the coolers in the vicinity of the Black King were smashed simultaneously. Whoever called the storm too big and dull to call it a sword crushed and destroyed everything it took.

Blood fountains rose. It was the most overwhelming of all the sights the coolers had ever seen.

Furthermore, the lightning storm did not stop.

The Black King has trampled the bodies of the coolers. The crab howled, and the thunderstorm and the black king sprinted in one. Couleurs could not mourn the death of their colleagues. Coolers who were making torches to attack the Elders hiding in the temple had to face the death of a lightning storm once again.

Storm.

Once again, a bloody storm erupts. The coolers were so powerless in front of the thunderstorm and the Black King.

I couldn't give myself the courage to fight back. No, I didn't even give him a chance to think about it.

Absolute force.

An unstoppable attack that spills like a lightning bolt from higher than the head.

The coolers, who were called by the storm, were literally shattered. In an instant, the number of coolers knocked down by the Black King and Lightning Storm reached ten.

Close to twenty coolers remained. Such a numerical advantage was meaningless to anyone.

Don't come! Don't come!

One of the cooler warriors, who was trying to harass Elder woman, shouted out loudly. He pointed a sharp stone sword at the neck of the Elder woman who was held in his arms.

The lightning storm saw him.

An overwhelming lifestyle with two eyes made the cooler warrior shrink.

You die.

The thunderstorm did not speak out loud. But the cooler warrior was delivered that same will. He couldn't move, and the lightning storm threw a small hammer through his head.

The woman screams, and the cooler warrior holding the woman falls to the ground dead.

A lightning storm that ‘massacred' the coolers who broke into the village immediately turned the rider around. The fangs and coolers who looked this way from far away flickered.

A thunderstorm glances at them.

It was a time when no stirrups, saddles, and horses could be drawn.

But I didn't need anything of that. The Black King read the mind of the lightning storm. I once again struck the earth to the will of one master.

The fangs shouted. He wanted to take back the spirit of himself and his warriors and attack the lightning storm.

The coolers fired a reflective arrow. But it was a mess, arrows that didn't even aim properly.

The Black King has leapt. The lightning storm was a test item made by a bamboo shield tree that was kicked in the left arm to protect his face. At the same time, he swung out a few arrows that seemed to threaten the lightning storm.

The great body of the Black King once again descended on the ground. Now the distance from the coolers was really close to reaching a month.

Then he compressed the notion that the Black Bear's atlas was a street.

Although it was scarce than that of a lightning storm, the Black Bear's atlas was also strong. One of the cooler warriors fell to the ground with his throat pierced, and the coolers, who were otherwise terrified by the Black King and Lightning Storm, are now in irreversible chaos.

Fangs pulled out a bronze sword. One of the cooler warriors was a murder weapon that had been washed with the blood of so many enemies so far.

The moment I grasped the bronze sword, I felt my fangs sink cold. The time he's been fighting with a bronze sword has given him courage.

The fangs roar bravely and lift their heads.

And at that moment, the fangs saw.

A giant black beast that fills the field of view.

The one on top of it. He who is overwhelmed by the afterglow that pours from heaven.

Something on his fingertips. Sword of God rising high in the sky.

It was not something that could be stopped by a bronze sword.

Saqaman thunderstorms poured from the sky.

The reflexively raised bronze sword has two pieces, and whoever calls the storm without slowing down the momentum digs through the clavicles of the fangs. I kept moving on and froze my fangs.

Four outstanding warriors, especially among the many coolers with strong warriors.

The death of one of the fangs was so vain, but none of the coolers recalled anger or cylinder.

Absolute warrior.

He who is considered to be a 'disaster’.

Demons! Demons!

Lightning storms swayed those who called the storm, not in the words of the coolers. All but three of the remaining coolers were killed for interrogation.

The situation itself was different from when we absorbed the nectars.

Elders' village was attacked and casualties occurred. Since the numbers on both sides were not the same as on the battlefield, it was right to reduce the number of coolers, though cruel.

The lightning storm, which tied the extremities of the coolers tightly with a leather strap, descended from the Black King and looked back at the town.

Luckily, they haven't attacked the town in a long time.

The black bear once ran to the temple. I yelled at the shrine with a tight seal.

White deer! White deer!

Ata responded to the cry. Elders who recognized the voice of the black bear opened the temple door and accepted the black bear.

Few Nectars and Elders carried bamboo shields and spears. Almost all of the town's substantial ‘young men’ were out in the rock salt mines.

Women and children.

Among them, the black bear desperately found the appearance of a white deer.

Black Bear!

The white deer stands up in a harsh gesture, not like her. I jumped to the ground and embraced the black bear.

The black bear holds a white deer in his arms and shed tears. I raised the prayer of thanksgiving to the yellow god again.

The two were unable to express their feelings and kissed each other on the lips.

Love, fear, fear.

All those emotions were mixed together and swayed between the black bear and the white deer.

“Fortunately, there's less damage. ”

The villagers who had been called by Tefnet said, looking at the new town of Elders, where the situation had been cleared to some extent.

The number of people killed in this incident is all five.

Most of the elders were working in the rock salt mines, so there were fewer people left in the village. And most of the rest were angry because they hid themselves in temples according to the White Deer's guidance.

But there was still a dead man.

Several of the huts in the village were broken, and the woman who was almost raped by the coolers was unable to speak properly because of the huge mental shock.

Still, Yeongmin used the expression 'good fortune’.

The number of coolers who attacked the new town this time was thirty. It was almost a miracle that even after being attacked by such a large number of warriors, the damage stopped to this extent.

Cavalry.

The first cavalry to emerge from human history was almost always a stadium. Moreover, the words at the time were not as big as the horses of today.

Because of this, the cavalry was often used primarily as a means of saving its manoeuvre to attack the enemy's back, or to maintain distance from the enemy.

But the lightning storm was different.

The ‘Elven Horse’ that Article 17 gave to Elders was‘ Gunma ’, a variety that had already been modified.

Lightning storms were able to move freely on horses without the help of stirrups, even though they had only recently learned to ride thanks to their superhuman power and the destructive power of those who called the storms. In this age, they were able to exert more than a heavy cavalry that could not even exist.

Without words, the lightning storm could not have reached the town so quickly, and could not have knocked down the coolers as it is right now.

“That must have been the cooler, wasn't it? ”

Edwin looks at the coolers caught by the lightning storm and says so. Tefnet nods.

“I see. Must be one of the top six clans in the World Quest. ”

The screen has changed depending on the operation of the console in Tefnet.

Joe is made up of two black men and an oriental woman. Cooler, their kind.

“I've been attacking a lot. Looks like pretty good guys. ”

Edwing said. Dan-A-young stares at the coolers with a grumpy face.

“Probably mistaken that little town for the Elders. It looks weak, so it hits me. It's simple.”

There were different races and different gods.

Furthermore, the coolers already had experience conquering other races around them by force.

A small village of about forty people to live in.

Moreover, few were able to resist.

I hit him because he's weak.

When a human avoids war, he/she is also more likely to see damage from it.

Coolers were more likely to think of easy conquest and looting.

“A race with a fake god. The gods of the coolers must have seen our elders. ”

Despite the victory, the hearts of the people were heavy. Only that number couldn't have been the strength of the coolers. Aren't you one of the top six clans in the World Quest?

“Atlantis, horses, and the presence of lightning storms were exposed. ”

Edwin grinds his teeth as well. As Tefnet represents everyone's mood, he said.

“I won the battle, but I feel defeated in the search war. Of course, they don't know where our elders live yet. ”

“But I got something here, too. You got a bronze sword and a bow. And you lost 30 warriors over there. I think we got a lot more if we have to. ”

Just as Dae-young turned the mood upside down, he looked at everyone with an energetic face.

I got a lot. It was never just a loss.

A small tree with a bellows and hammer would be able to repair a broken bronze sword well enough again.

Where is he? The coolers have now given Elders a bow.

And the most important thing.

Thirty warriors.

The population of Elders now counts only four hundred. Thirty people were never less numerous. The population of coolers could not be clearly known, but the damage would never be small.

“Anyway, thank God. The Black Bear survived.”

For Joe 17, they were all lovely elders, but there were still special beings among them.

In Edwin's words, Tefnet nods with a generous smile. When the black bear and the white deer held each other and shared their feelings, Tefnet was also forced to reddish his eyes.

“Uh, hold on. An exclamation point?”

The inhabitants curled their heads and manipulated the console. This is because I remembered an exclamation mark on the corner of the screen.

Banquet of fake gods.

The ‘Fake Gods’ who received the 'Invitation’ attend the 'Banquet’ in the 'Central New World’.

Third invitation.

But it was different from the two banquets that had taken place so far. Article 17 looked back at each other, and even Tefnet had a stubborn face.

“At the same time? ”

Third banquet.

They will certainly participate in that place too.

A fake god who looks after two species of coolers.

It was different from the banquet so far. I had to be different.

Yeongmin and Dae-young looked at each other. Almost simultaneously, the eyes of the two "unmanned" people changed sharply.
