'Whispers of the Demon' is the first overture of Aichy's Seven Calamities and the beginning of everything.
Following the awakening of the Will of Chaos, the cultists and Demon worshippers who worshipped the Malevolent God of Chaos started to create chaos and unrest in the world. When all of the Ancient Elemental Gods were released, the arrival of the Elemental Tide changed the entire world.
Other than the Elemental Creatures and Magical Beasts that increased in numbers, other than the emergence of experts from various races, it also gave the Undead Emperors in the Undead Plane the possibility of returning to the Main Plane. Furthermore, the shadow of the Demon Army invading the Main Plane was buried.
At the same time, the ambitious and idealistic people started to stir. Among them, the most dangerous ones were the believers of the Evil God who wished to establish an independent country and welcome the descent of the Evil God. The underground city lords who were ambitious and planned to return to the surface.
Not long ago, this overture was activated. Other than the unlucky fellow who was weakened to death while he was still in the sealed stage and was eaten the moment he was released, the other Elemental Gods would be released one by one and a large number of Elemental Creatures would come to this world.
Of course, if it wasn't for the Epic Quest brought about by the overture, I wouldn't have been able to resurrect so perfectly.
10 years later, when the expansion pack 'Vulture of War' was released, under the drive of the schemers and ambitious people, the entire continent was in a mess.
Then, what exactly happened in these 10 years?
Firstly, it was the emergence of talents from various countries. All kinds of new equipment and troops emerged one after another. The frantic rise in the strength of the country made the rulers of the big countries restless. In addition, some organizations and individuals fanned the flames, such as assassinating the nephew of an Emperor in the name of a small country, providing the fuse for the big countries who were already looking forward to war.
At the start of the war, it was just a big country swallowing up a small country. Following the victory, when the entire country fell into a frenzy of war, when endless greed and war benefits blinded the eyes of the Emperor and nobles, when countless new Knight Lords required more land, and when the country's strength rose day by day, the vulture of war circled above the entire human world.
At the end of the day, this was just the law of decline. The surface society with humans as the main body had developed to a certain extent, and the major countries hoped to go further. They hoped to become the emperor that unified the entire human society, or they hoped to become the overlord of a region. Even without the instigation of conspirators, the outbreak of war would still be inevitable.
For certain supreme existences, the peach was ripe, and it was time to reap the harvest. And so, the war horn was blown once more, and the supreme Holy War was waiting even earlier than it already was.
World War. When the major countries brought their vassal states to start an all-out war, there were even people who happily predicted that after the war, a new empire that spanned across the entire continent would bring human society into a new stage.
However, the cruel reality slapped the big countries in the face, telling them that it wasn't humans playing single player in this world, but all races playing PVP together.
The rise of the Elf Empire along with the various tribes, the invasion of the various Beastmen tribes, and the invasion of the Underground Allied Forces allowed the human countries, who outnumbered them by a hundred times, to witness what it meant by Gold were like cannon fodder, Giant Dragons were like dogs, Legendaries were as common as dogs, and SemiGods were nothing.
Before the human army, which outnumbered them by a hundred times, had the chance to laugh at the numbers of the opposing army, they immediately witnessed the difference in individual strength. What it meant by one against a hundred, or ten against ten thousand, what it meant by the command center being destroyed by the other party before the war even started, what it meant by a cavalry charging into the city walls.
A Commander might not even be as strong as an elite veteran. This war was really unwinnable. If it wasn't for the Underground Allied Forces falling into internal strife due to the uneven distribution of resources, if it wasn't for the major countries unhesitatingly sacrificing the interests of the smaller countries, trading space for time, using land in exchange for the temporary satisfaction and division of the Underground Allied Forces, delaying the time of the final battle, the war might have ended long ago.
Then, the invasion of the Undead Calamity and the appearance of the Undead SemiGods who were exiled to the other world since the ancient times made the humans understand the pain of lacking top-notch fighting strength, and the futility of competing with the Calamity Army in terms of numbers and cannon fodder.
As for the invasion of the Demons and the last few calamities, in reality, they were just a few more stabs to the already devastated Aichy Continent. Anyway, they were already on the verge of death, and if they were left alone, they would die anyway.
Along with the endless deaths, the war would continue to escalate. When the Goddess of Order and Goddess of Chaos personally enter the battlefield, everything should be over.
To speak the truth, every time I look at this' history ', the feeling of helplessness that comes from the bottom of my heart makes me feel like I have no motivation at all. In the face of this kind of historical trend, the strength of an individual is completely negligible.
Prevent the outbreak of war? I am not that naive, but there are indeed some things that I can do, and I have already done it.
For example, the invasion of the Underground World is still unavoidable due to the strong desires of the Underground Dwellers. However, under the leadership of Sulfur Mountain City, at least their aggressiveness would be much stronger. As long as it is dealt with properly, they can even work together to resist against the other calamities.
Xiluo Empire, the variable that I created single-handedly, has another bizarre effect — — The invasion of the Undead Plane's Undead Calamity has been brought forward.
So, it should have started 70 years later, and not the 30 years at most that Decars told me. Perhaps, I should thank the hard work of the Head of the Council of Dark Night, the Second Senator Feyman.
Does it seem like a bad thing? No, it is actually a good thing.
Following the arrival of the Elemental Tide, the connection between the various Planes will become easier and easier. It is impossible for the Undead Emperors, who have been eyeing the Aichy Continent for a long time, to not come. Furthermore, if they were to come earlier, they would become a powerful external enemy that would cause the civil war in Aichy to end prematurely.
Furthermore, to forcefully enter the Main Plane at the start of the Elemental Tide, it is inevitable that the Undead Emperors would suffer a loss in strength and military strength. At the very least, the 3 Undead Emperors who have reached the level of a true God would definitely be unable to enter. Thus, the scale of the Undead Calamity this time would definitely be much smaller than the one in history, giving us the possibility of dealing with them in batches.
Thus, the instruction I gave to the Royal Faction is to reconcile with Feyman and push forward with the invasion of the other Planes. The earlier he arrives, the better.
If they are able to arrive before the invasion of the Underground World, that would be even better. Then, using the excuse of fighting against the Undead together, they could find the humans to cut a piece of land or snatch a piece of land from the hands of the Undead Calamity. Who knows, after the war, both sides might be able to coexist and accumulate sufficient fighting strength to deal with the upcoming troubles.
Of course, this is the good aspect of the Undead Calamity's invasion being brought forward. The bad aspect is that if they aren't even able to withstand the weakened Undead Calamity, they would be doomed. Or if the Underground Alliance Army loses control or if they aren't able to come to an agreement, then, dealing with both the Undead Calamity and the Underground Alliance Army at the same time would also be the end of the world.
"Well, since the future is filled with calamities and there isn't much hope in the first place, then, we might as well try it."
…
The Ottoman Empire, it has only been established for 700 years. It is considered the shortest among the superpowers.
However, they aren't the weakest. On the contrary, due to the successive generations of wise monarchs who are determined to forge ahead, the country is rich and powerful. Instead, there are faint signs of them catching up.
The capital, Kagesi City, is located along the river. It is divided into a total of 8 districts with a total population of close to 10 million. It is one of the top superpowers in the entire continent. Among them, the largest Pearl District has a population of 3 million and is known as the Sleepless City.
If one were to describe the Ottoman Empire, then, "Luxurious" would be the most suitable adjective.
Furthermore, the countless oil lamps and magical searchlights along the river, the luxurious horse carriages along the road, the pleasure boats and cargo ships on the river, the elegantly dressed gentlemen and ladies strolling along the river, and the merchants who come from all over the continent. Without a doubt, this city is filled with astonishing vitality.
Now that the inauguration ceremony of the new emperor is just around the corner, the trees along the river are filled with colorful flags and jewels. The main road is actually paved with expensive silk carpets. Even the gold-plated oil lamps along the road are burning with the highest grade of mermaid oil. While the guests who come to visit are secretly cursing the "local tycoons", they can't help but admire the power and wealth of the Ottoman Empire from the bottom of their hearts.
The reason why the inauguration ceremony is so grand is not just for the sake of reputation. Originally, the 26 countries that are subordinate to the Ottoman Empire have already made it a large country. Now, with 42 countries as subordinates, it means that the Ottoman Empire has completely gotten rid of the role of a political upstart and has become a superpower that plays an important role in the world.
Of course, there are some people who don't think this way. They are full of evil ideas and are prepared to cause destruction.
But now, he is troubled. After all, meeting old friends in a foreign land is a rare joyous event in life. However, he really wants to pretend that he doesn't know the few old friends in front of him.
"As expected of the City of Pearls, how extravagant. To think that they would even give out Night Pearls to passersby."
"Cut the crap and take it!"
Alright, those are the Goblin Yingou and Kabala. They are old acquaintances of Sulfur Mountain City. Right now, they are eyeing the jewels that are decorating the tree. Even though the surroundings are filled with onlookers and everyone is pointing at them, they are still happily stuffing the jewels into the gunny sack.
"Ohhhh, high-grade mermaid oil. What a waste. It is even used as an additive for my old Hoyle's fuel. "
He recognizes the people in front of him but he would rather not recognize them. They are indeed here to deliver gifts to the Ottoman Empire in hopes of reaping a bountiful harvest. Calculating the time, they should have arrived a long time ago. However, to be able to meet them here by chance, it can be considered as an ill-fated fate.
"Bastards, it is you bunch of thieves again! You are even here in the day. "
"What? Thieves? What nonsense are you spouting, aren't these placed on the streets for others to take? "
"That's right, it is yours just because you say so. If you call it, will it reply to you?"
Alright, even though the Goblin Kabala roars back at them, his movements don't slow down at all. He swiftly finishes stuffing the jewels and runs away, dragging the gunny sack along with him.
"Cough cough, don't run, you bunch of bastards!"
Their footsteps, honed from fighting with Sulfur Mountain City's Town Security for a long period of time, are incomparably swift. Furthermore, they are all Underground experts who don't care about their reputation. How can the normal human guards catch up to them? Instead, they run until they are out of breath, falling further and further behind.
"Come and chase us then."
"Ha, the days without the Town Security are really as lonely as snow."
"Ha, Kabala, I am already invincible … OUCH!"
Alright, Kabala who is famous for being an expert at digging holes in Sulfur Mountain City slips and falls onto the ground, his mouth full of mud.
"Kabala, what happened to you, what happened to you? Didn't I say that a hole must be filled up? Isn't this the wrath of the heavens? Who was the one who threw the watermelon skin, so inconsiderate? Kabala still owes Old Hoyle 100,000 gold coins. If he were to die, can you all afford it? "
Alright, I can still understand his anger at the start, but the latter part goes astray.
"I don't have 100,000, 100! Only 100! Furthermore, dwarf, you obviously cheated last night, I won't even return you that 100. "
Even though there is a huge bump on his head, the Goblin Kabala struggles with all his might, using his index finger to form a '1', afraid that this shameless old dwarf would take the opportunity to put the huge debt on his head. Indeed, if Kabala had 100,000 gold coins, he wouldn't need to drag a tattered gunny sack along the streets to pick up the ornaments on the tree.
These can be considered as jewellery, but in reality, the quality is very low and it isn't worth much. Only Goblins like Yingou and Kabala, who view wealth as their life, would do such a thing.
Alright, I really can't stand it anymore. But apparently, there is someone who can't stand it anymore.
"You bastards! You even dare to do such things in other cities! "
"Silly Town Security! How is this possible? Didn't you all go to the north of the continent? "
"Damn it, there is still that fierce dog!"
"Who is the fierce dog! Don't give random nicknames to others! Momo's name is very pleasant to hear. "
"Silly Big Lass? Alright, I got it. "
However, with the two Town Security clenching their fists, one at the front and one at the back, and a few experts from the Hall of Judgement holding the fort by the side, the three dwarves fall into despair.
"Don't hit my face!"
"Don't hit my face!"
"You don't even want your face anymore, how can you not hit me?"
This time, even the passersby are amused by this farce. Seizing the opportunity, I, who is wearing my silver mask, smiles at the few guards who are watching the show.
"Good evening, gentlemen! The night is really beautiful, isn't it? May I ask, which direction is the embassy of the Donglan Principality? "
