Magicless Extra: The Villain’s Survival Method – Chapter 122.1

𝐂𝐡𝐚𝐩𝐭𝐞𝐫 𝟏𝟐𝟐.1: 𝐀𝐫𝐦𝐲 𝐨𝐟 𝐒𝐢𝐧 (10)

The Allied Forces, now bolstered by the addition of the Dark Brotherhood, marched forward. Among them, Dragon Knight Seracion stood out, his power rivaling that of a Grandmaster, similar to Gilgamesh.

‘𝘐𝘴 𝘵𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘸𝘺𝘳𝘮 𝘩𝘪𝘴 𝘮𝘰𝘶𝘯𝘵?’

Just like the Great Eagle nestled in Oswald’s arms, a small wyvern perched on Seracion’s shoulder. It was undoubtedly miniaturized using Familiar Miniaturization technology.

‘𝘈 𝘣𝘭𝘢𝘤𝘬 𝘸𝘺𝘷𝘦𝘳𝘯. . .’

Even Seracion’s tights seemed to be crafted from dragon-related creatures, covered in black scales. Particularly striking was his weapon, a sword staff, a spear with a blade attached.

‘𝘓𝘰𝘰𝘬𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘥𝘰𝘸𝘯 𝘧𝘳𝘰𝘮 𝘢𝘣𝘰𝘷𝘦, 𝘪𝘵’𝘴 𝘦𝘷𝘦𝘯 𝘮𝘰𝘳𝘦 𝘪𝘮𝘱𝘳𝘦𝘴𝘴𝘪𝘷𝘦.’

While he had experienced land battleships and aircraft carriers during the 「Final Chapter」, this was his first time observing them from the sky.

The massive land aircraft carrier, capable of carrying 100 carrier-based aircraft without any spatial expansion magic, was truly a moving fortress. Especially with its self-defense cannons mounted on the lower section, the carrier alone could unleash substantial firepower.

Moreover, the Great Zhou Empire boasted a population rivaling that of the Imperial Empire. Unlike the Imperial Empire, which consisted solely of humans, the Great Zhou Empire was a melting pot of various races.

This tendency stemmed from their leadership, the Dragonian race.

The Great Zhou Empire, a melting pot of races.

With numerous races coexisting for generations, a unique, unified culture emerged, transcending racial differences. Consequently, the citizens of the Great Zhou Empire possessed a strong sense of belonging to their nation.

The ruling classes of the surrounding vassal states were also of mixed-race descent. In the Huan Kingdom, the Spirit Tribe, born from the union of water spirits and demigods, held the reins of power. While their lifespan didn’t match the longevity of the Dragonian race, their 200-year lifespan secured their position as the ruling class.

Yuan Kingdom, on the other hand, was home to the Yaksha (Night-Tribe, Orcs), the Naha Tribe (Arhat Tribe, Barbarians), and the Nara (Rakshasa), a mixed blood of the two. The king here was the strongest warrior who was chosen by the strongest warriors among themselves and was then recognized by the Emperor of the Great Zhou Empire before being officially crowned.

Lastly, the Yue Kingdom was a nation primarily composed of Moon Elves and their mixed-blood, and the royal family was exclusively Moon Elves. Because Moon Elves were a minority even among the Elves, unlike High Elves, Dark Elves, and Wood Elves, they were unable to populate their nation with only Moon Elves, so they accepted various races to establish their country.

‘𝘐 𝘩𝘦𝘢𝘳𝘥 𝘵𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘦𝘹𝘱𝘦𝘥𝘪𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯𝘢𝘳𝘺 𝘧𝘰𝘳𝘤𝘦𝘴 𝘰𝘧 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘎𝘳𝘦𝘢𝘵 𝘡𝘩𝘰𝘶 𝘌𝘮𝘱𝘪𝘳𝘦 𝘤𝘶𝘳𝘳𝘦𝘯𝘵𝘭𝘺 𝘩𝘢𝘷𝘦 𝘵𝘳𝘰𝘰𝘱𝘴 𝘥𝘪𝘴𝘱𝘢𝘵𝘤𝘩𝘦𝘥 𝘧𝘳𝘰𝘮 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘏𝘶𝘢𝘯 𝘒𝘪𝘯𝘨𝘥𝘰𝘮, 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘠𝘶𝘦 𝘒𝘪𝘯𝘨𝘥𝘰𝘮, 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘠𝘶𝘢𝘯 𝘒𝘪𝘯𝘨𝘥𝘰𝘮?’

With the suzerain Great Zhou Empire embarking on a campaign against the Chaos Tribe of the New Continent, each vassal state had sent troops to curry favor. And among these dispatched soldiers was someone who irked Yuilhan.

It was Yuilhan’s older brother, the eldest son of the Yu family, who had joined the expedition.

Fortunately, there was no overt animosity from his brother, but. . . well, there seemed to be an unspoken tension between them. At least his brother had the sense not to express it openly.

‘𝘐𝘵’𝘴 𝘱𝘳𝘰𝘣𝘢𝘣𝘭𝘺 𝘣𝘦𝘤𝘢𝘶𝘴𝘦 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘐𝘮𝘱𝘦𝘳𝘪𝘢𝘭 𝘌𝘮𝘱𝘪𝘳𝘦 𝘪𝘴 𝘢 𝘮𝘢𝘫𝘰𝘳 𝘱𝘰𝘸𝘦𝘳 𝘵𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘥𝘰𝘮𝘪𝘯𝘢𝘵𝘦𝘴 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘸𝘦𝘴𝘵𝘦𝘳𝘯 𝘱𝘢𝘳𝘵 𝘰𝘧 𝘛𝘪𝘵𝘢𝘯. 𝘔𝘰𝘳𝘦 𝘪𝘮𝘱𝘰𝘳𝘵𝘢𝘯𝘵𝘭𝘺, 𝘊𝘢𝘱𝘵𝘢𝘪𝘯 𝘠𝘶 𝘚𝘰𝘰𝘏𝘢𝘯, 𝘸𝘢𝘴 𝘪𝘵? 𝘐’𝘭𝘭 𝘬𝘦𝘦𝘱 𝘢𝘯 𝘦𝘺𝘦 𝘰𝘯 𝘩𝘪𝘮, 𝘫𝘶𝘴𝘵 𝘪𝘯 𝘤𝘢𝘴𝘦.’

If he dared to provoke Yuilhan, Oswald intended to return the favor tenfold.

After a week of marching, the Allied Forces finally entered the Chaos-tainted zone. Oswald clicked his tongue at the sight of the dark clouds blanketing the sky.

‘𝘛𝘩𝘦 𝘭𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘪𝘴 𝘥𝘺𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘣𝘦𝘤𝘢𝘶𝘴𝘦 𝘵𝘩𝘰𝘴𝘦 𝘤𝘭𝘰𝘶𝘥𝘴 𝘢𝘳𝘦 𝘣𝘭𝘰𝘤𝘬𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘴𝘶𝘯𝘭𝘪𝘨𝘩𝘵.’

With demonic power further polluting the land, even with the priests’ purification efforts, it would take considerable time to restore it for agricultural use.

The vanguard forces of the three nations, after a long march, established a camp at a suitable location for a brief respite.

Meanwhile, the pilgrims of the Nine Divines, who had accompanied the Imperial Empire, began purification work around the camp through blessings and prayers. This was necessary to prevent the surging demonic power from causing further fatigue.

The Great Zhou Empire employed spells and Taoist techniques to cleanse the demonic power, while the Dark Elves utilized the blessing magic of their goddess, Isis, for the same purpose.

Having purified the demonic power in their respective ways, the vanguard forces settled down to rest. Thanks to the purification, the exhausted soldiers could recover sufficiently.

After a two-day stay, the vanguard forces resumed their march. However, they left the camp intact for the main Allied Forces, who were two days behind.

They were now two days away from Vancouver City, the forward base outside the Comanche Kingdom’s territory. Yet, there was still no sign of monsters or dimaens. . . It seemed the enemy was planning something.

Despite this, Oswald wore a pleased expression. If the enemy was concentrated in one place instead of scattered, he could utilize a nuclear strike to wipe out the lower-ranking demons, monsters, and dimaens.

‘𝘛𝘩𝘦 𝘱𝘳𝘰𝘣𝘭𝘦𝘮 𝘪𝘴, 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘦𝘯𝘦𝘮𝘺 𝘪𝘴𝘯’𝘵 𝘴𝘵𝘶𝘱𝘪𝘥 𝘢𝘯𝘺𝘮𝘰𝘳𝘦. . .’

It seemed he would have to mix conventional warheads with the nuclear warheads.

‘𝘐’𝘭𝘭 𝘮𝘪𝘹 𝘤𝘰𝘯𝘷𝘦𝘯𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯𝘢𝘭 𝘸𝘢𝘳𝘩𝘦𝘢𝘥𝘴 𝘸𝘪𝘵𝘩 𝘰𝘯𝘦 𝘰𝘧 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘵𝘸𝘰 𝘯𝘶𝘬𝘦𝘴 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘭𝘢𝘶𝘯𝘤𝘩 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘰𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘳 𝘰𝘯𝘦 𝘭𝘢𝘵𝘦𝘳 𝘧𝘰𝘳 𝘢 𝘵𝘪𝘮𝘦-𝘥𝘦𝘭𝘢𝘺𝘦𝘥 𝘴𝘵𝘳𝘪𝘬𝘦.’

He planned to launch a total of ten conventional warheads. That should be enough to scare the enemy into creating a defensive barrier, right?

‘𝘌𝘷𝘦𝘯 𝘤𝘰𝘯𝘷𝘦𝘯𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯𝘢𝘭 𝘸𝘢𝘳𝘩𝘦𝘢𝘥𝘴 𝘤𝘢𝘯 𝘥𝘦𝘮𝘰𝘯𝘴𝘵𝘳𝘢𝘵𝘦 𝘤𝘰𝘯𝘴𝘪𝘥𝘦𝘳𝘢𝘣𝘭𝘦 𝘱𝘰𝘸𝘦𝘳.’

As Oswald prepared his attack, the enemy was also making their move.

【According to the Archduke of Wrath, the enemies annihilated legions of devils with an attack similar in power to Meteor. Since we’re going to defend against it, shouldn’t we strike first? What do you think?】

Archduke of Gluttony Baalzebub’s words were met with a nod of agreement from the black-winged Archduke of Pride Lucifer.

【I concur. Then it would be wise to send out the gathered monsters and dimaens first. 】

【Then I shall move to the front lines. I have no desire to be caught in the rear and suffer that attack. 】

The arrogant Lucifer scoffed at Baalzebub, confident in his ability to withstand such an attack.

【As you wish. After all, we are merely collaborators on equal footing. 】

With that, Archduke of Gluttony led his legion of gluttony, driving the monsters and dimaens towards the Century Allied Forces advancing from the south.
