Chapter 817: Broly: I Originally Had a Mole in the Enemy Camp?!

「Ares-sama, Orario's coalition is coming our way. Do we need to admit them into our army's battle formation? 」「Notify them: keep formation, do not let Orario's adventurers enter our military formation. Although in this battlefield game we are allies, once we deal with our opponents, they will be obstacles to our attack on Orario! 」

Time quickly arrived at the day the war game began, with the Rakia Kingdom Army and the Orario Adventurer Alliance lined up side by side.

One side looked well-equipped, well-trained, and numerous, while the other wore all sorts of equipment, looking like a rabble.

But in terms of true strength, the average level of the Orario Adventurer Alliance side exceeded the average level of the Rakia Kingdom Army's elite soldiers by one and a half levels.

「Once the war game begins, let Orario's adventurers charge first. We'll cover them from behind. After they finish off that Tyrant of Extreme Desire, then we'll take the field. 」

Urius issued the military order, and their policy toward this temporary ally, the Orario coalition, was to treat them as vanguard cannon fodder.

「Ares-sama, Prince Urius, the regiment leader of the Kali Familia wants to see you. 」

Just then, a soldier ran in to report.

「The Kali Familia, those Amazons—what do they want to see us for? 」

Urius was somewhat confused.

「Never mind her. Just bring them here and ask. We'll find out. 」

「She's a Level 6 powerhouse. If she suddenly attacks us, we'll be beheaded right away. 」

「Fine. Then I'll meet her myself. Anyway, I'm a god—mortals can't harm gods. You, Commander, pretend to be a soldier and hide to the side. 」

Ares waved his hand. Urius thought the idea was fine, quickly changed into ordinary personal guard armor, and had his subordinates bring the Kali Familia people in.

「I am Algana, regiment leader of the Kali Familia. By order of our Main Goddess Kali, I have come to discuss a major matter with Ares-sama. 」

」

After Algana arrived here with Bache, she addressed the god Ares. Her gaze swept through the tent; besides the God of War, there were also some of his subordinate gods present.

「What does that Kali want to discuss with this true god? Don't beat around the bush—say it directly. 」

Ares waved his hand.

「Fine, I'll say it directly. Lady Kali wants to join forces with Ares-sama. After the war game, our two forces will cooperate inside and outside to take Orario together. 」

「? ！」

Hearing this, the army generals and subordinate gods in the tent began discussing among themselves.

「Take Orario? But I heard your Main Goddess only recently led your Familia to join Orario, becoming part of Orario? 」

「Yes, we joined Orario, but our purpose in joining Orario was out of a desire for battle. We wanted to fight the great Familias, but those people simply refused to accept challenges, and the Guild doesn't allow us to declare war directly, saying it would have a bad influence, and they'd fine our Familia. This made Lady Kali very angry—」

Algana stopped there, and her younger sister Bache, who had followed her, added.

「Previously we had no opportunity; it wasn't good to turn against all of Orario's Familias. But now the opportunity has come. Lady Kali wants to make a big move in this war game. So she sent me and my sister to discuss with Ares-sama. If Ares-sama agrees to join forces, our Familia will open Orario's South Gate after this war game ends to welcome you into the city. I don't know what Ares-sama thinks? 」

「Hmm, this matter I need to discuss with my officers. You two may withdraw first. 」

「The war game is about to begin. The time we give you to consider is limited. If it's too late, our Familia won't wait. 」

Algana and Bache were led away, and Ares then looked at the personal guard beside him after the two left.

「Urius, what do you think of this matter? 」

「I've heard of the Kali Familia. If what they say is true, this might be powerful aid for us to take Orario—」

One man and one god, after discussing with the officers in the tent, soon reached a decision. Anyway, they would have to attack Orario later; now being able to secretly join forces with the Kali Familia, who were dissatisfied with Orario, was a sure-win situation.

「Regiment leader of the Kali Familia, we agree to join forces on this side. 」

【34」 「Fine. Afterward, the strong ones on Orario's side will be left to us to deal with. Your army only needs to hold back the weaker ones. 」

"Alright then, afterwards, the Orario strong ones' side, we'll Deal With them, and Magic And You All Corps Only Need to Delay the other Weak ones."

「Agreed. 」

Ares laughed. The Kali Familia specialized in gnawing hard bones, and he directly nodded in agreement.

「To better judge friend from foe later, our Familia plans to first join Ares-sama's troops. 」

Algana proposed another requirement.

「No problem. 」

Ares slapped his chest and agreed.

Soon, the Rakia Kingdom Army made an opening, allowing the Kali Familia members participating in this war game to station within their own army's ranks.

All of this was unknown to Broly, who had already finished war preparations on the other side. After the sound of the Ganesha Familia's host announcing the official start of this war game came from the air, a rumbling sound came from the distant horizon.

Numbering over ten thousand, endless and boundless. Broly, standing on the slope, soon saw the Orario Adventurer Alliance appearing from afar, like black ants, along with the Rakia Kingdom's cavalry units.

「Charge, for the Valis we bet! 」

「Don't fear. The Tyrant of Extreme Desire is only one person. We have so many here—one spit each could drown him. 」

Orario's adventurers led from the front. For this fight where they wouldn't die at the bottom, they had nothing to fear.

The Rakia Kingdom cavalry in the rear were rather confused: 「Those people don't need us to drive them—they're rushing up to be cannon fodder themselves?! 」

Rakia Kingdom soldiers who didn't know Resurrection Magic only found it strange and wondrous.

Facing the gradually approaching enemy that looked like it covered the mountains and fields, Broly simply slowly raised his hand.

Of course, it wasn't an Energy Bullet. In a state of overloaded gravity training, he didn't have that much energy to waste on that thing.

It was magic—the magic formation appeared around him.

「Gravity. 」

As he spoke the magic name, an invisible heavy pressure spread outward from Broly as the center.

The ground collapsed inch by inch. The war game field soon appeared as a basin similar to a lunar meteor crater.

Broly had mastered many methods for clearing weaklings. Without overloaded gravity training, he could casually fire an Energy Bullet to clear an army of tens of thousands. And if he wanted fewer casualties, Absorption Touch combined with the Ki Absorption Field was also a very good choice.

However, now in a state of overloaded gravity training, the gravity magic Broly normally trained with had become the optimal choice for clearing weaklings.

The moment the gravity magic spread out, the coalition forces rushing this way were thrown into utter chaos.

The heavy pressure pinned everyone to the ground. Broly's gravity magic was stronger the closer one got to him, but even at the edges, there was about three times gravity.

This gravity multiplier was measured by Broly—the danger limit a Level 1 adventurer could bear. It would injure the internal organs but wouldn't crush them to death instantly.

A group of people that looked like ants from afar now directly turned into maggots writhing on the ground.

"No, is this reasonable?"

The Level 2 adventurer was pinned flat against the ground, the heavy pressure making it impossible for him to even crawl up.

Broly used Bell's data to test the gravity, which resulted in all the trash, those adventurers who didn't level up with high Strength stats, being unable to crawl up even though they were now at the edge of the gravity magic's area of effect — an embarrassing situation.

"Oh my, a surprising thing has happened. The Tyrant of Lust made a single move, and most opponents directly fell to the ground, losing combat ability.

Ah, this is rare gravity magic, but isn't the area of effect of this gravity magic a bit exaggerated? It actually directly enveloped the entire battlefield, spreading over a distance of ten-odd kilometers————"

Through the Divine Power Screen, the citizens of Orario, from a high-altitude perspective, could see the War Game's situation even more clearly.

A group of spirited, high-spirited Coalition troops, before they even made contact with the enemy, collectively face-planted. This grand spectacle of collective face-planting directly silenced those who had originally been cheering for the Coalition, saying they would drive the heretics out of Orario.

The visible gap in strength — if adventurers value quality over quantity — was concretized right before everyone's eyes.

And even those who could still stand looked extremely strained while approaching the Tyrant of Lust; some directly knelt down after walking a bit closer.

The pressure grew heavier the closer they got, pressing them down so they couldn't straighten their backs. Although some determined adventurers still crawled forward on the ground, what use are guys who can only crawl on the ground? Do they think they can pretend to be maggots on the ground and laugh the other side to death?

And compared to the outside world's silence over the scene of most of the Anti-Heresy Coalition face-planting, the interior of the Loki Familia is currently rather noisy.

Many strange gazes subconsciously stole glances toward Riveria's direction, only because they had seen clearly on the Divine Power Live Screen the magic circle patterns that surfaced around Broly before he used gravity magic — that was unmistakably their own Vice Captain, the Nine Magic Princess's signature Skill — 【Fairy King's Chant】.

This Skill's effect is amplification of magic power and expansion of magic range; the more extra magic power used, the greater the Skill's boosting effect. Theoretically, it is a Skill that can infinitely increase magic power and range with a single move.

But this Skill that originally belonged exclusively to their own Vice Captain, the Nine Magic Princess, has now appeared on Broly. How could the Loki Familia members not think about this?

"Riveria-sama, you, you don't mean————"

Alicia, as the Nine Magic Princess's loyal little fangirl, was the most shocked. Especially since she knew the Wings Skill's effect, and knew what price a woman who is a non-Saiyan boy's Encounter Target must pay to obtain the Wings Skill.

"Cough, don't overthink. This was Broly coming to beg me before, wanting to share my Skill. Ais also requested it, so I reluctantly agreed. Hmph, a transaction. This is just a transaction."

Riveria explained like this.

"Ah, so that's how it is."

Hearing this, Alicia pressed her chest and couldn't help but let out a long sigh of relief. She knew pure Riveria-sama would never agree to become someone's harem member just for a mere Wings Skill.

"Mom-san, a transaction, huh————"

Loki sidled over with a smile.

"If I don't say it like this, I worry the young people in the Familia will get the wrong idea. Besides, the reason I agreed to join was to guide Ais and Broly, those two young people, on the correct way to interact with the opposite sex."

Riveria coughed twice, put on a calm facade, and explained in a low voice by Loki's ear.

"Damn it, I knew there were traps in this, but I didn't know the traps inside could be this big!"

The Rakia Kingdom's Shinen Soldiers had the most numbers, but ninety-nine percent were low-stat level-up trash. Under Broly's gravity magic, these people directly revealed their true colors. And they wore even more armor, so they face-planted even worse than the Orario Coalition.

"Don't approach the gravity magic range. Bombard that side from long range!"

Ares pulled his war horse into retreat. The only thing this War God was glad about now was that his artillery corps' marching speed was slow enough.

Before the enemy released the gravity magic, they still hadn't come over this way, and weren't enveloped inside, directly losing combat ability.

And as long as the Magic Stone artillery corps is still there, he still has the power for one battle————

"Magic Stone Cannon, huh————"

Under the gravity magic, all ranged attacks possessing mass would be pressed down by the gravity magic before reaching him.

Only magic attacks have a chance of reaching him. The Magic Stone Cannon's attack is one of the magic attacks that can reach him.

It's just that the Magic Stone Cannon's firing requires charging first, and the movement during charging was quickly detected by Broly.

Just as Broly was preparing to use the Fire Joy Sword he had reconstructed with Spring for himself, preparing to play a little 'cut magic power' game and charge over to solve the enemy cannon formation while cutting.

The Magic Power Beam Cannon that shot over missed, blasting the dirt slope ground a few hundred meters away from him, blowing a gap in that small dirt slope.

Broly gazed into the distance and saw an explosion occur at the far-off cannon formation. Someone had actually gotten there a step before him and destroyed those Magic Stone Cannons.

"No, Kali Familia, you're betraying me?"

After discovering the Magic Stone Cannon missed, Ares turned back to curse, only to see a group of Amazons rush into his own artillery corps' position like wolves and tigers, solving his artillery with lightning speed.

"Ah, the Kali Familia has defected on the spot. What on earth is going on? They are the strongest Familia participating in this War Game on the Anti-Heresy side!"

"Give the lens to me, let me speak!"

Hermes pointed the Divine Power Live Lens at Kali, who was in the Divine Council Hall.

"A War Game is a game and also a war. In a real war, encountering an ally's betrayal — isn't that a very normal thing? If you want to blame someone, you can only blame the fools who are willing to easily trust allies————"

Kali, this petite goddess, had her hands on her hips, yet spoke with a flat-chested lolita goddess attitude. And through this Flat Lolita Goddess's mouth, Orario's residents also understood the reason for her Familia's defection on the battlefield.

Perhaps this isn't even called defecting on the battlefield. Rather, the Kali Familia's participants were originally the Tyrant of Lust's people from the start, just infiltrating as spies into the Anti-Heresy camp.

"No, your Familia has spies, and I, the beneficiary mastermind, didn't even know?"

Broly looked at Algana, who had endured ten-odd times gravity and still ran to his face to claim credit, and was equally dumbfounded.

"Isn't this to give Broly-sama a surprise————"

Algana's face was slightly flushed from the surrounding gravity, but her face showed an expression of a good dog wanting to be praised by her master.

Broly was a bit speechless. He thought the other party hadn't given up on the idea of conquering him by force, but the result was this kind of development.

But one must admit, this method really works on him. At least, Broly now has a somewhat changed impression of Algana.

"Then, thank you all, Miss Algana."

Broly thanked her, reaching out to pat her head.

"You're welcome."

Algana froze for a moment, then quickly reacted, kneeling on the ground, rubbing against the boy's hand like a big Golden Retriever, and replied humbly in a ladylike tone.

This scene made the Commerce Alliance's Chairman's vision go black. He knew the Rakia Kingdom Army his side supported in the War Game might lose, but he didn't expect they would lose this miserably.

The entire army face-planted, yet couldn't even manage to dirty the opponent's hem. The trusted ally now kneels before the opponent like a little sheepdog, enjoying the other's caress.
