Chapter 412: I’m glad. Light Kiyoung has descended (3)

What I witnessed couldn’t be expressed in words.

It would be strange not to be surprised upon seeing the number of undead.

It looked the same as before.

The allies’ mouths dropped open as they watched the absurdity of the scene, while the enemy remained confused as to what to do in the situation they couldn’t even understand.

It was impossible to determine if they were friendly or not.

My urgent voice made them realize that the Demon Summoner Jin Qing sent the undead army, but the Republic didn’t seem fully convinced yet.

“Damn…”

“Prepare for battle! Prepare for battle! They’re undead with a minimum grade of heroic or higher!”

It was just as the random soldier said.

The undead created by Han Sora and Jung Hayan with great care was different from those of common or rare grades.

They were at least higher than heroic. There were even liches among their ranks.

Honestly, I didn’t expect they would be able to do that much.

Jung Hayan always did the unthinkable, but that time it felt like she really did create an army of demons.

It’s a different kind of achievement, but it’s never going to fall behind when compared to the meteor that fell right before.

‘She even summoned Belial. That shouldn’t have been hard for her.’

Of course, compared to the demon lord being summoned, the quality was a bit inferior, but the sight of the undead surrounded by black fog was still threatening.

Rather, it was rather effective in some aspects.

Unlike Belial, who was alone, they put pressure onto the battlefield just through their sheer numbers alone.

It was obvious what Kim Hyunsung was thinking right then.

They were a little weaker than necessary, but it’s more than enough to satisfy his cautiousness.

I even wondered if there were other ways that were less vicious. I tried to think hard about it, but that was the most humane solution I could think of.

I couldn’t make any more plans due to my conscience, so there was no choice but to shrink back.

At that moment, I was physically exhausted.

Compared to Jin Qing from the first round, the insanity of the masked trash that turned the Republic soldiers into undead beings was enough.

It was all for the victory of the war.

He became the demon who abandoned everything to wreak havoc in that land.

That was the true identity of Jin Qing trash.

“Grooooaaarr…”

“Grooooowwwll!!”

There were also many types of undead beings in their ranks.

To make as many of them as possible, they had to create low-level skeletons that mingled among the undead who maintained the same abilities as they had when they were alive. There were also dark knights and liches who possessed even more power than that.

Still suffering as pawns even in the afterlife, the undead showed their resentment towards the Demon Summoner in their own way.

I began to speak once more.

I knew better than anyone else that timing as good as that seldom came.

-Everyone! That is the true identity and purpose of the Demon Summoner!

‘Yes, absolutely.’

-Look at those restless soldiers. Look at the fallen beings holding the flags of the Republic. This war has never been for the State and the Republic. This war has been planned and executed by a degenerate demon! Open your eyes! Join hands with us!

‘Join us! We will welcome you with open arms!’

-Do not lift your swords against each other. The continent’s existence is at stake. We must not allow those fallen beings to take our home. They’re aiming for the State right now, but their next goal would be the Republic. Lift your swords together! Please join forces for the sake of all the races living on this land!

‘Let’s unite!’

-The place where the Republic’s leadership is located has already become a playground for the Devil. Stand with God! I sincerely ask you to be with the Divine. Everyone! Join the Army of Light!

“Quicky, you bastards! This is urgent!’

It’s like a politician going to an election.

I thought I spoke with tenacity, but the atmosphere seemed a little weakened.

I tried to convince them as much as possible, but the Republic soldiers weren’t reacting properly.

But my voice was definitely reaching them.

I could tell that just by the fact that they had stopped attacking our allies.

Neither the enemy field commanders who used to issue aggressive orders nor the soldiers who lost their companions in that war of madness showed any signs of violence.

When a common enemy emerged, the only thing they could do was swallow hard.

The situation was different from the previous one.

Unlike before, my words were backed up by evidence.

Internal confusion was tantamount to the pre-determined procedure.

“W-what is this…”

“Is that really a support force?”

“Oh God…”

especially affected.

The religious priests of the Republic had closed their eyes and began to look for their God.

-Believers of Varian God! Please, be with us! Fight for God! Please!!

None of them wanted to take the first step, but it was working.

Unlike before, he was trying to react to my shouts desperately.

At best, I thought there would be a spokesperson, but that was certainly the voice of the Demon Summoner.

He pretended to be as calm as possible, but I could feel that he was a little agitated.

Maybe it’s a natural reaction.

It wasn’t unreasonable to get agitated about it, considering he’s about to accumulate more achievements as a Demon Summoner once again following the last Laios crisis.

He must have already burned up at the thought of being praised by the demon officials.

‘Trash bastard.’

-It’s all manipulated. Those undeads have nothing to do with the Republic. They are nothing more than Honorary Cardinal Lee Kiyoung’s self-made play to cause confusion. Just like at the Laios crisis, he is a demon who deceives everyone with black magic.

-I am the messenger of light chosen by Benignore and Elune. You should be ashamed, Demon Summoner! The light given to me is the light to judge demons. It is a light to judge you, who tricked the innocent soldiers into shedding meaningless blood! You, who caused wars to incite chaos in the continent. If I had anything to do with those dark forces, then let all the gods on the continent punish me. This divine power is the proof and the greatest power to deny your lies!

-Shut up, you filthy scamming bastard. It is you who are putting the continent in confusion. Don’t think that hiding behind God’s name will hide the dirty things you’ve done! The truth will always be revealed. Do you think I don’t know the dirty things you’ve done in the State? I know that you used democracy as a shield to cause chaos in the Empire and to create a black market.

-Your lies have no power against me, dirty demon. Aren’t your words right now an incitement and manipulation to hide the truth? Republicans! Everything that demon summoner says is a lie. Like the current situation both of our nations are facing, every word that comes out of that mouth is a whisper of the demon. It is all false that the State has invaded the Republic, and that the Honorary Cardinal Lee Kiyoung caused the Empire’s chaos, and that he has a black market. Don’t believe what you hear. Trust what you see! Open your eyes to the truth! Do not let yourself be blinded by agitation and hoaxes!

-The truth will be revealed! You are a dirty scamming bastard!!

-The light is the truth, Demon Summoner Jin Qing!

-What you have is not divinity. Even if the light were real, the God who gave you such power could not be normal. It can’t be normal!!

-To deny the divine power of God is to deny God! The sky is angry, demon! Your image in the Goddess’s Mirror is true, and my divine power is true. The blood flowing on the battlefield, the sight of everyone suffering, and every human being swallowed by darkness are true! How dare you say that you are the truth! Don’t think your dirty words will fool everyone!

-This crazy bastard! Why would the Republic bring the undead now…

-Fight back, everyone! Please join me!

What seemed a bit ambiguous to answer, I answered with a sincere and divine voice.

-Why would we…

-Please be with us! Be with the light!

In fact, there was no need to argue.

The undead troops, who had already gone crazy, were running around as foam formulated around their mouths.

Thankfully, the undead army could distinguish the State and the Republic.

They were leaving the Republic’s soldiers alone and only aimed their swords at the State’s soldiers, spreading black magic and performing all sorts of disgusting acts.

Even if he kept denying it, the reality unfolding before our eyes could never be disputed.

“Grooowwwlllll!

“Divine power! We need more divine power!”

“Grooooaarr!”

“Block them! Sh*t! Dirty Demon Summoner bastard! Are you not afraid of God! You demons!”

“Raise your sword for the continent! Don’t stand with the darkness!”

“Ahhhhhhhhh!!”

The power of light that began to be pushed by the undead made my heart pound.

If it weren’t for the crowd of lights that were constantly falling, it wouldn’t be strange for casualties to increase rapidly.

“Don’t lose!”

“Don’t fall down! We are Eberian knights fighting under the name of Elune! Let them know that there is still light on the continent!”

“Priests! We need the priests!”

“Pull the injured away from them! Form a line! Gather together and block the undead!”

The elves who liked to get serious were resisting the darkness, began to cry.

The same was true for the Dwarves and the State’s Knights, who quivered at the face of the undead.

There were no casualties yet, but it would only be natural for soldiers to die.

They wouldn’t have been able to withstand that long if they hadn’t formed a durable formation.

-It is light that illuminates the darkness. We are small candles, but one by one, together, we can make even the abyss glow! Every drop of strength is necessary. Please realize the meaning of the current situation!

After shouting a phrase that sounded like a famous song’s lyrics, I, too, began to move.

-We have to attack the State’s scammers right now! All of these are just part of their manipulative tactics! The undeads have nothing to do with the Republic, and if we strike the State now, the real truth will be revealed. Raise your sword again and fight!

-We shouldn’t fight each other! Humanity’s true enemy is already right in front of us! Keep your eyes wide open. The light will show you the truth!

-Republic soldiers, raise your swords right now! Raise your swords!

-I have an order for the State soldiers! I will not allow you to aim your swords at the Republic soldiers! They are not enemies! They’re not the ones you should fight!

-This c… crazy bastard! Who do you think will be fooled by that scam?!

-Everyone… please unite your strength! The light will be with you! Don’t listen to the Demon Summoner! Please remember what happened at Laios! He is the creator of this undead legion!

-Don’t respond to his craziness. The entire army…!!

-The light will be with you! I will be with you! Don’t be afraid! Never be afraid!

-Lee Kiyoung!

-We can stand united in front of this great threat!

That holy war would unite humankind.

It was still too early for a toast.

However, epic background music began to play in my mind.
