It felt awkward to leave after finishing our business, as our ally was going to battle, so we agreed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Anyway, Kroxx didn't expect military participation, which seemed like a cultural difference. Therefore, only Gaston, my guard, and I would follow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>We set out into the wilderness, where the scorching midsummer sun was beating down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>We left early in the morning, but the heat from the ground is rising in a haze.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I watched Kroxx's marching army with interest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A mixed army of orcs, goblins, and humans.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Similar to the village, the army appears to be organized by race, marching together and mainly sticking with their own kind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their army has a certain discipline, but at the same time, it is free-spirited.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Despite this, they freely converse while marching, mainly interacting with their own race but also naturally with others.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Incidentally, some humans carry muskets, but overall, melee weapons are more common...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Considering that.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Surprisingly, there are no people wearing iron armor.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Uahaha! If you wear that in this weather, you'll get tired and collapse before you can even fight!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kroxx answered with a hearty laugh.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Certainly, in this weather, even a breastplate would probably get heated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Perhaps that's why the human soldiers are wearing leather armor, or full-body clothing and turbans.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That looks hot in its own way.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Considering it's hot, the human soldiers are quite bundled up.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Human skin is fragile and burns easily in sunlight. Besides, even though it's hot now, it gets quite cold at night.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hmm...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That concern doesn't apply to knights, Gaston, or me, who have trained in mana.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In fact, Shandra, who is beside me, has tattoos, but she is showing her brown skin here and there.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Still, it's definitely a serious problem for ordinary humans.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I glanced back at Kroxx.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kroxx is still wearing leather pants and only boots, revealing his muscular, scarred green torso.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The other orcs are exposing their upper bodies almost as much as Kroxx.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Do orcs not care about sunlight or climate?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aside from that, going bare-chested into battle...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Did the entire race lose their fear?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I turned my gaze and looked at the goblins this time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soldiers about the size of my chest are marching with clubs, bows, and slings. They are not as tough as orcs, so they are bundled up like humans.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Come to think of it, I saw some beastmen in the village, but don't they serve as soldiers?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"They mainly serve as scouts. They're fast and have a very good sense of smell.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...I see.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Beastmen are a race rarely found even when searching the entire continent these days.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Originally, they prospered to some extent in the southern continent and could occasionally be seen in the central continent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, due to their small numbers relative to their individuality and versatility, they became popular targets for slave hunters and were reduced to a minority.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That was hundreds of years ago, and I never thought I'd see them settled in this way in the so-called land of barbarism, the Wastelands.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hmm! We've finally arrived.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At Kroxx's words, I also turned my gaze and looked through the telescope at the enemy's position far away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Some Wastelands tribal flags and Porto's flag are hanging together.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The long-awaited battlefield!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kroxx grinned, revealing his long fangs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As I thought it was a smile revealing both heartiness and cruelty, he took a deep breath and roared like thunder.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Aliastiedad liltakhyim!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Naem!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Immediately, the sound of the entire army chanting in unison spread throughout the ranks.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Could it be, this overly passionate king intends to start fighting as soon as he arrives?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"He says to prepare for camp.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I was nervous, but at Shandra's words, I almost stumbled, losing my strength.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...Ah, damn it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Encountering the enemy, I found it odd to prepare for camp instead of battle. However, I was told that midsummer days here are so intensely hot that even orcs are unable to fight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Apparently, the plan is to allow the troops, who marched in the heat, to rest, take a short nap during the hottest part of the afternoon, and then engage in battle the following day.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The difference from Francia struck me again; it's remarkably different, despite being a relatively close peninsula.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I watched them slowly, observing as they set up camp, unfolding tents with practiced ease.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Perhaps owing to their tribal customs, they, even the humans, seemed remarkably swift and skilled at it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shandra then approached, her laughter cheerful.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The reason Shandra, reputed to be King Kroxx's seventh confidant and fourth strongest warrior, is accompanying me is because Hassan, my original interpreter, remained in the capital, Dilrus.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It hadn't occurred to me, as Kroxx, Hassan, and Shandra all spoke the common language of the central continent fluently, but it seems few among their people are proficient in it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In that respect, our preconceived notions appear to have been accurate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"So, Marquis, what are your thoughts? What's your impression of our brothers?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It's impressive to see such a diverse group of races maintaining discipline while remaining free.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shandra smiled, showing her teeth, as if she liked my answer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Haha. It's the pride of our brothers, Marquis.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I listened to Shandra's answer and looked around the camp again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A kingdom formed by human heretics shunned by major human nations of the central continent, orcs, goblins, and even beastmen. They are a persecuted minority, despised as barbarians.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A nation where the rejected gather, call each other brothers regardless of racial differences, and serve the king.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A paradise created by the rejected. It's very ideal for a new nation, but...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If there is no center of gravity called Kroxx that all of them can trust and follow, can this system be maintained?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thinking this, I raised my head as a shadow fell before me, and saw an orc as big as Kroxx.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He has a large scar over one eye with an eyepatch, and with his bushy beard, he looked the most ferocious orc I had ever seen!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I flinched without realizing it, and Gaston reacted to it and stood next to me.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ah, Marquis. This is our king's first confidant, Karok.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shandra introduced him from the side.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So, this person ranks higher than Hassan. I can feel a tremendous sense of intimidation just by looking at him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Could he be here to fight, displeased that his king acknowledged me as a brother and not him, his first confidant? Given their belief in power, it's possible.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>While I was thinking that, the ferocious-looking Karok smiled and bowed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...Huh? The reaction is different from what I thought?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When he said something, Shandra interpreted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"He says that the accommodation for Marquis and Sir Gaston has been prepared. Ah, by the way, although he looks like this, he is a kind person who treats his brothers like his own children.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...My face felt hot for some reason.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Nice to meet you, Karok. I am Marquis Pierre de Lafayette. Thank you for preparing the accommodation.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When I offered a handshake, Karok also smiled and accepted the handshake and replied something.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"He says he did his best to make sure that the respected king's brother could be comfortable, so if you need anything, please tell him anytime.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I felt self-deprecating at Shandra's interpretation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It's going to take me quite a while to completely get rid of my prejudices against them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>*\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The bed prepared for us was a tent, but with a soft carpet on the floor, it was comfortable enough.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Both Gaston and I expressed our gratitude to Shandra and went to bed early to prepare for tomorrow's battle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But I couldn't rest for long.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I was asleep when I woke up to the commotion outside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I don't know what they're saying in my somewhat drowsy head, but when I hear the sound of urgency and confusion, I'm wide awake.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The moment I grabbed my sword and ran out of the tent, I ran into Gaston and Shandra.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Your Excellency, Marquis!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Marquis!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What's happening?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It appears to be a night attack!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A night attack? By barbarians?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No, damn it, I need to set that prejudice aside. Whatcan'tthe Porto army accomplish?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Snapping back to reality, I saw burning tents and soldiers scrambling in a daze, trying to extinguish the flames.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Panicked screams erupted, and the soldiers rushing about only worsened the chaos.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What kind of mess is this?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Surely, you have a night watch in place, right?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Of course not!\" Shandra shouted, sounding offended at the very suggestion, but the reality was unfolding before us...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a moment's thought, I said, \"Then tell King Kroxx's followers to immediately quiet down and stay where they are!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Could a large force have snuck in undetected? It's more likely a small group infiltrated to sow chaos and initiate a night attack!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ah...!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"There will be some who try to cause confusion despite the order! It'll be a small number, so if we just apprehend them, we can get this under control!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Understood!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shandra immediately started running around and shouting, and the army of brothers immediately obeyed, likely because she was recognized as King Kroxx's confidant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nevertheless, after dealing with a few troublemakers, the commotion quickly subsided.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There might be spies who survived by being quick-witted and shutting up. Still, their operation failed when the confusion subsided.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once the situation was resolved and the soldiers had received their orders to assemble, Kroxx appeared.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I couldn't understand his words, but he seemed to be praising Shandra. She pointed at me and said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"My king, it was not I, but the king's brother who devised the plan.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Oh, brother! It was your idea? Kroxx offers his gratitude!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That's appreciated, but shouldn't we offer thanksafterdemonstrating the cost of a foolish night attack?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Uahaha! You're right!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The fires in our tents had been extinguished, leaving a tense silence hanging in the air.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before us, the shadows of the approaching army, stealthily crossing the wilderness, grew clearly visible.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their earlier confusion had seemingly vanished instantly, and now they appeared to be conferring in some disarray, their movements awkward and hesitant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing this, Kroxx swelled his already impressive chest, inhaled deeply, and roared like a clap of thunder,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Al-ardho!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His soldiers, Shandra among them, responded in a unified cry,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Akbar!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kroxx began to run, kicking up the earth, and his soldiers, along with us, followed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What does that mean?\" I asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shandra shouted back with a laugh,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The Earth God Is Great!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>*\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Porto Harbor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A beautiful woman with long, shining golden hair, wearing a nun's habit that seemed reverent at first glance, was lying face down on the desk and whining.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ah, there are only boring people here~ I'm so pent-up~...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, the nun's habit was wide open on the side revealing her thighs, making it far from reverent, and the bat wings flapping on her back showed that she was a race that had nothing to do with reverence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gremory, the CEO of Lust Corp, a succubus with a penchant for wearing a nun's habit, was lying face down on the desk and sucking on the juice in front of her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Paimon, who looked at Gremory with pathetic eyes, swept their red hair and twisted the corner of their mouth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I even supported you with a potion for disguise, but instead of a night attack, you were counterattacked and defeated?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I, I am sorry.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Paimon, CEO of Sloth Corp, watched the low-ranking demon tremble with a dissatisfied look.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the supply of humans—the material for the industrial revolution—were becoming difficult to adquire, Pride Corp planned to cooperate with Porto and supply demi-humans and humans from the Iberian Peninsula.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was quite successful at first, but things started to go wrong when Kroxx, an orc who was a slave in Porto harbor, escaped and declared himself king.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Consequently, Sloth and Lust Corp, which are in the most urgent need of humans and demi-humans, are on a business trip to this distant Porto, and are in a situation where they have to stay in this underdeveloped local area.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'It's so annoying, really.'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Paimon thought, crossing their legs again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Wasn't that Kroxx a person who relies on strength rather than strategy?
