Chapter 173

Reincarnator – Chapter 173 : Embers (4)

Everyone else had left, only two remained .

‘Ekidu and Karhal, only two huh . ’

Hansoo nodded as he looked at the two who had voluntarily remained behind .

He would take these two and go up through the Green Road .

Towards the Destruction Jade .

And they would need to create an opportunity for those villagers who had hidden in wait for that chance .

Though there was only two allies, it didn’t matter .

Since he didn’t need a tremendously large number or anything .

No, it would only get caught in one’s eye if there were that many people .

It was better to have a small group of elites .

And Ekidu and Karhal clearly had the qualifications .

Ekidu obviously had them and Karhal’s Quintuple Laser was powerful enough to even kill him if he were to get hit properly .

‘Even with the Racial Metamorphosis . ’

Karhal complained while looking at Hansoo .

“Aren’t we doing the most dangerous job then?”

“Yeah we are . ”

Hansoo nodded .

Since the risk they had was much higher than those who had gone to the villages .

“Then don’t you need more runes? Will you be okay without any?”

Karhal made a depressed face while thinking of the Artifacts and runes whom they had sent away along with those who left .

Runes and gears which came out after they killed the traitors .

And the weapons that were hidden inside the Armory of the village .

Why did Hansoo evenly distribute all of these things?

Of course Hansoo, Ekidu and Karhal had received the runes and artifacts as well .

The problem was it was fair .

According to how much they had contributed .

Of course Hansoo received the most amount of runes because he did most of the work but it was still a small amount .

There weren’t that many runes that dropped from killing people anyway and there was a lot more who had fought with them instead .

‘Hmm… Would he be around 50% now?’

The runes of Hansoo, which should’ve been around 10%, would now be around 50%

But Karhal was depressed from this .

Since people who would go with him being stronger was always the best .

‘It would’ve been a lot of help if he took everything . ’

Karhal made a sulky expression and complained .

Even if Hansoo had said he would take everything, there wasn’t anyone who would have said otherwise .

But Hansoo shook his heads .

“Strength is a necessity for those who have left . ”

They didn’t treat Refugees well anyway .

And if they were people who came from other villages, they would be extremely pressured .

If they were weak in such a situation as well then what would they be able to do?

They would be busy even saving their own lives .

The runes were secondary but there was a need for them to be armed well with the powerful artifacts .

And in reality, the Artifacts of the guards, the Hunters and the Farmers had been risen by an average of two to three levels .

Since as strong as the traitors were, their artifacts were amazing as well .

Not much to say for the weapons stored in the Armory as well .

And with the runes, they wouldn’t have much of a problem acting around in the villages .

“Ugh . If you take away 50% of your runes and spread it among thousands of people, would it even make a difference for them?”

Hansoo nodded at Karhal’s words .

The second attack was always the most important one .

‘I cannot leave behind any embers of trouble . ’

It wasn’t a problem at the percentage of distribution but rather the importance of priority .

Hansoo filling up his runes to 100% and then distributing it .

Or distributing it fairy from the very beginning .

There was a huge difference between the two .

There was a reason why the leaders of a animal pack ate last .

‘Such an issue will grow inside their minds and become cancerous . ’

The reason for the dams falling wasn’t because of a giant boulder or the flow of the river .

Just a small crack that appeared on the dam .

It was all because of this crack .

As this crack got bigger the dam fell .

Once the people left, they would constantly remember while enduring the harsh environments of the village .

The unfair treatment they had received before they had left .

Depending on how well they were able to fool the traitors by hiding the villagers in the other villages, the people living in over a hundred villages may become allies or enemies when they start fighting against the Higher Race .

Since the traitors had a large amount of power in those villages .

Look at Karim, nobody suspected him being the manager of the village .

If those villagers who had left were agitated like this then the humans, who should’ve become allies, would become enemies instead during the war against the Higher Race .

This was why he had to treat those people who had left well .

Hansoo didn’t want to risk such a thing for just 50% of his runes .

‘I can always earn more runes later . ’

There were plenty of chances on the path towards the Green Road .

But Karhal continued to make a sulky expression, as if something was on his mind, as he spoke out:

“…One important thing hasn’t been solved yet . What are you going to do with the Satellite Fortress?”

Ekidu nodded at Karhal’s words

Since it was a clear problem that was extremely important and one that needed to be dealt with .

And they didn’t know where the Destruction Jade was hidden anyway .

They would need to go through all the forces of Clementine and search for the hints .

But as a clash was inevitable, it would definitely get caught in the eye .

They might’ve been able to do something if it was a human being but the Satellite Fortress was a bit too much .

Once the assault of light approaches from above, everything would end .

“You aren’t thinking that it wouldn’t take that long right . ”

This was a reckless plan no matter how they saw it .

How did they even think that they wouldn’t get caught in the territory of their enemies?

Hansoo shook his head at Karhal’s words .

“Don’t worry . I’ll make it so they won’t even care about us . ”

“How?”

Hansoo pointed towards the Satellite Fortress floating up above, the Atillan .

Karhal made an uneasy expression while watching Hansoo .

“Hey… You aren’t thinking of playing a 1945 arcade game while riding that thing right?”

Fighting against tens of Satellite Fortresses with just a single Satellite Fortress?

No matter how amazing Hansoo was, it was pushing it a bit too far .

“I don’t know what game it is but it isnt that . ”

Hansoo hadn’t taken over the Atillan in order to do something with it anyway .

But would he have gotten it for no reason?

It was now time to use it .

“I’m going to the mana crystal refinery depository .

“…What?”

Karhal and Ekidu surprisingly knew what the mana crystal depository was .

Since it was very clearly marked on Dakidus’ map .

Marked as a special military facility .

“What the… Are you just going to commit suicide ?’

Hansoo shook his heads at Karhal’s words .

‘I need to deal with the Examiners no matter what happens . ’

…………………………… .

Rumble

At one side of the giant jungle .

A giant power-plant-looking building which towered over a kilometer was standing in this location .

It was located in a rather rural location far from the cities where the Arukons lived in but it wasn’t placed in this isolated location because its importance was low .

Mana crystal refinery and storage .

Probably one of the top three most important structures/locations that were needed to sustain the race .

A tremendous amount of fuel, mana crystals, were needed in order to activate the Atillan .

And the mana crystals were a very important material for the three races as well .

Since the reason for them fighting each other was to try to gain just a bit more of this mana crystal out of the limited amount that existed so they could continue their civilization .

The mana crystals came out from the spring which existed in each of the three race’s capital, , and got supplied all over the battlefield .

The capital was obvious but the four mana crystal refinery depository were also being protected tightly .

And the tens of Satellite Fortresses that patrolled their boundaries got supplied with the mana crystals from these refinery depositories as they were constantly on guard against the other races .

And this refinery depository was even more important out of all four .

It was a very important structure which supplied the Satellite Fortresses which were in charge of the area which bordered both Akalachias and Rebeloongs .

Of course the Defenders who were in charge of this place needed to stay alert all the time as well .

And one of these Defenders, Ortanion, looked at the Satellite Fortresses in the distance as he started to frown .

‘For the damn bird and rat bastards to come . ’

The Satellite Fortresses he could see were not those of the Arukons .

It was the opposite .

They were the Satellite Fortresses of those who constantly longed after their resources, the Rebeloongs and Akalanchias .

Though four Satellite Fortresses were protecting them, there was no time for a break .

No, the fact that four Satellite Fortresses had been sent over to this location out of the vast border simply described how important and dangerous this place was .

‘Damn… It’ would’ve been better to get chosen as a Harvester . Or even an Inspector . ’’

Captain of the Satellite Fortress, the Atillan .

Out of the tens of thousands of Arukons, it was an honorable position that only a few tens could reach .

Not everyone could own these positions and being able to hold these positions signified tremendous honor and power .

A rank that every Arukon wanted .

But of course there was a difference wherever one went and not every captain of the Atillan was the same .

The position which was sought after the most was the Harvester .

It was good .

It was too good .

Since they don’t do anything .

They just needed to rotate around the livestock, eat up some snacks as they pleased and even watch the amusing games that occur in those farms .

A position of their dreams that every Arukon wanted .

And this position had been taken over by Dakidus .

‘Damned bastard . ’

He suddenly felt annoyed as he thought of Dakidus laughing as if he had gained everything in the world after being nominated as a Harvester .

‘I hope he becomes a cripple . ’

Of course he knew that wouldn’t happen .

To get hurt by livestock .

A captain of the Satellite Fortress?

If one went through such humiliation then they would get ignored even among their own race .

The next best one was being an Inspector .

It wasn’t as good as the Harvester but it was still good .

Since the only thing they did was inspect the Green Road .

Finding the Destruction Jade also a part of their tasks but they had long given up on that .

Since the humans might use it the moment they detect suspicious movements from the Higher races .

At least the Green Road was their land .

It wasn’t easy to do anything they wanted in that part where quite powerful livestock existed .

And that actually made it more favorable .

Since there wasn’t much to do .

It was a bit annoying from the fact that they had to deal with Clementine’s underlings and their captain, Metion, but it was still very comfortable .

And Merutt had been nominated for this .

That guy was probably roaming around the Green Road in the distance as well .

Since it wasn’t that far from here .

‘Damn . The Harvester and the Inspector… they need to get abolished .

Sadly there were only one spot for each of those positions .

So naturally everyone else would become Defenders .

He had been nominated to do the least favorable Defender position at the furthest border away from the capital .

There wasn’t a single time to rest either .

The Satellite Fortresses had to even take turns in order to resupply their mana crystals .

Since they didn’t know what the enemy would do the moment a gap was created .

Though there wasn’t a single Arukon Warrior in the Satellite Fortress of the Harvester or that of the Inspector, there were anywhere from a few tens to hundreds of Arukons in a Satellite Fortress operated by a Defender .

In case something happened .

And it was the same for their enemies .

Which meant that the situation here was that tense .

‘Rumblee’

Booooooom

Ortanion frowned as he heard the loud noise coming from below .

Which meant that the recharging of the mana crystal for the Satellite Fortress from the mana crystal refinery depository had almost finished .

It was now time to return to the battlefield .

‘Merutt, shall I go have a look at what he’s doing?’

It would be quite boring until he would comeback .

But there was a good thing about being in an area of constant clash .

Because there were a lot of Satellite Fortresses gathered, he could see what was going on with the others in other Satellite Fortresses .

Chaararararak

As the detection system of the Satellite Fortress got amplified, he started to zoom in to the Satellite Fortress of the Inspector, Merutt .

‘Hoh? So is that the soccer those humans play?’

Booom!

Boom!

That Merutt was kicking something into a goal in a part of the Fortress .

But if people saw this, they would think that the Arukons were hugely mistaken .

Since it was completely different from the normal soccer .

Soccer was not something someone played alone and it wasn’t just about kicking the ball into the goal .

And they did not, under no circumstances no matter what, used a person instead of a ball .

A person whose limbs had been cut off .

Booooom!

Screams and shouts came out from the mouths of the livestock whose limbs had been cut off and only their body and head had been left .

These people, who were being kicked by the powerful Arukon, were smashing into the walls of the Satellite Fortress which was covered in a blue light and were getting smashed apart .

Crushed and blown apart .

There were over 50 that had blown apart under Merutt’s feet already .

Ortanion was envious as he looked at this scene .

‘This envy is going to be the death of me . ’

Since Merutt always pulled up toys from the Green Road, the number of Offerings was quite high .

The same with the Harvester, Dakidus .

They didn’t really have enough to play around like that since they were only supplied a small amount as snacks .

But while Ortanion was watching this scene in jealousy .

Whoooosh

‘Huh? Why has he come already…’

Dakidus’s Satellite Fortress .

Why did his Satellite Fortress come here already when he should be going around the farms right now?

There still should be a few more days worth of mana crystals .

‘Suspicious . ’

Ortanion made a confused expression at the single Satellite Fortress approaching slowly from the distance as he started up the communications network .

So they could begin an exchange .
