<h4>Chapter 364 – Siege of Nagoya (6)</h4>
Historical records mentioned instances when an official delegation from Japan to Joseon[1] would request the then-lord of Daema Ind to trante for them.
<i>‘If Craspio was originally a monster that appeared from a dimensional rift meant for South Korea... Then the ck Orcs are monsters from the Japanese dimensional rift... Wow... So Japan has been overreacting until now?’</i>
Of course, all these were just assumptions made by Han-Yeol. To start with, the dimensional rifts could ur purely by coincidence. It wasn''t as if there was someone deciding that each country would receive one big and two small dimensional rifts, right?
However, it seemed too good to be true for it to be a coincidence this time. South Korea was the first country for the dimensional rift to appear, and it had the most dimensional rifts globally. A total of 12,825 dimensional rifts had appeared worldwide since the first one, with around forty percent of them (5,130) urring in South Korea alone.
It was remarkable how forty percent of all dimensional rifts urred in South Korea, considering it was only half of the already small Korean Penins. But was it not so far-fetched this time? No, it made more sense that Craspio was originally South Korea’s problem to begin with.
“Haha... Geez...”
If Han-Yeol’s assumptions were correct, then it was an understatement to say that the Japanese shot themselves in the foot; it was more urate to say they unwittinglymitted Seppuku.
<i>“Chwiiik!”</i>
<i>“Kwiiik! Kwiiiik!”</i>
<i>Vroooooooooom!</i>
The orcs became agitated at the sound of the war horns ring in the distance.
[Advance forward!]
[March!]
<i>[Kruwaaa!]</i>
<i>Chwik! Chwik!</i>
Surprisingly, themanders of the ck Orcs spoke the humannguage, and Han-Yeol immediately recognized it as Japanese.
<i>‘Oh?’</i>
This was Han-Yeol’s first time witnessing a monster speaking a humannguage. The notion of monstersmunicating in humannguage was unheard of, as they were creatures loyal only to their primal instincts. Although Han-Yeol had seen monsters speak before, it was limited to the Bastro Dimension.
<i>‘Japanese... Do I need to ask for a trantor...?’</i>
Han-Yeol was an avid fan of what was known as the ‘Big Three’ anime, so he was capable of having basic conversations in Japanese. However, he would struggle if the other person slurred, spoke fast, or used difficult words. It was evident that he could not understand what the ck Orcs were saying, as their Japanese was far from proper.
<i>‘Hmm... I guess we need to search if any of the survivors know how to speak Korean.’</i>
It was a bit bothersome, but there was a need for him to further investigate the matter upon learning that the ck Orcs were capable of speaking a humannguage.
It was then.
<i>Ding!</i>
[The rank of Trantion has increased.]
[Language Added: Japanese]
‘<i>Huh?’</i>
Trantion tended toe through unexpectedly, but this timing couldn’t have been better. Han-Yeol was relieved that his problems were resolved; he no longer had to struggle to find a trantor. However, he felt quite flustered seeing everything fall into ce so perfectly.
Now, he couldprehend the orcs'' grumblings from a distance.
[Hurry up, you maggots!]
<i>Chwak!</i>
Intense whipping was taking ce within the horde of orcs.
“<i>Chwiiik!”</i>
<i>“Kieek!”</i>
“...”
<i>‘What the...? It’s just nonsense...’ </i>Han-Yeol grimaced, dismissing the chatter as insubstantial.
It would have been normal to feel disappointed, yet he wasn''t dismayed at all.
<i>‘The real investigation starts once I capture them and interrogate them.’</i>
<i>Heh.</i>
Things seemed to grow moreplex, but he found it enjoyable at the same time.
<i>‘Hmm... This would''ve been the perfect situation if Craspio wasn''t here...’</i>
The threat of Craspio continued to weigh heavily on Han-Yeol.
[Attack! Conquer the castles built by the humans!]
<i>“Chwiik!”</i>
<i>“Chwiiiiik!”</i>
Two hundred thousand ck Orcs charged toward Nagoya.
<i>Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!</i>
Han-Yeol watched the ck Orcs charge toward Nagoya from atop the tall building and transmitted amand to Kandir, who was on the ground.
<i>‘Kill those ck Orcs.’</i>
[As youmand, my lord.]
Key figures of Han-Yeol’s forces, such as himself, Kandir, Riru, Barshell, Taichin, Camelot, Tayarana, Mariam, Sahas, and the others, were all connected through Mariam’s telepathywork. They didn’t require any specialmunication device, no matter the distance between them.
Mariam might have had her second awakening in the Bastro Dimension thanks to Han-Yeol, obtaining another ss, the Monster Tamer, but she didn''t neglect her original role as a supporter inrge-scale battles. She willingly took a backseat once again, believing it was the best way to support Tayarana.
[All warriors! Charge!]
[Chaaarge!]
<i>Awooooo!</i>
Numerous iron tes were installed around the city, and the Bastro Warriors were merely defending these positions against the ck Orcs. Unsurprisingly, the Bastro Warriors felt disgruntled and frustrated at having to defend against what they perceived as weak opponents.
At that moment, Han-Yeol issued themand to attack, and the eager warriors finally unleashed their fury, charging over the iron tes to massacre the orcs.
<i>Chwak! Chwak!</i>
<i>“Chwiiik!”</i>
The ck Orcs were clearly no match for the Bastro Warriors from the outset. Comparing the two was an insult to these battle-hardened warriors. Within less than ten minutes of the sh, the majority of the ck Orcs had fallen.
[W-What are those monsters?!]
The orcmander couldn''tprehend why its subordinates were being effortlessly cut down.
[Why?! Why are you monsters siding with humans?!]
<i>Chwiiik!</i>
Themander shrieked in anger. It couldn''t fathom why the monsters, who should instinctively kill humans, were aligning themselves with the humans.
<i>Chwak!</i>
<i>“Chwiiik!”</i>
[Kill these filthy abominations!]
<i>Awooooo!</i>
Under Bashell’smand, the Canine Warriors performed spectacrly in thisrge-scale battle, just as expected.
<i>Awoooooo!</i>
<i>Tak!</i>
Han-Yeol didn''t bother leading the Canine Warriors, despite it being known that he was Harkan. Well, even back when he was Harkan, he didn''t lead them in every single battle.
Currently, Riru led the Canine Warriors while Barshell managed matters on the ground. Harkan was the type to entrust things to his subordinates if they proved better than him, and Barshell was indeed much better at leading troops on the ground. He wasn''t called the Young Genius Commander for no reason.
The Bastro Warriors ruthlessly massacred the ck Orcs in a one-sided battle.
[Damn it!]
The ck Orc Commander was furious upon seeing that things were not unfolding as it had imagined.
Meanwhile, Han-Yeol leisurely watched the battle between the Bastro Warriors and the ck Orcs when movement in the western district of the city caught his eye.
<i>‘Hmm? Those aren’t monsters... Eh? Humans?’</i>
Surprisingly, ten people with rucksacks were attempting to leave the city.
<i>‘What the hell are they doing?’</i> Han-Yeol couldn''t believe it.
While Bastrolings and humans fought desperately for their lives, these individuals were trying to escape to save their own skins.
<i>‘Hmm...’</i> Han-Yeol pondered what to do with them.
Should he leave them alone, or should he forcefully bring them back? Ultimately, he decided it was best to go and understand their intentions first.
<i>Tak!</i>
He leaped from building to building to intercept the group of fleeing people.
[We need to hurry up! We’re all going to die at this rate!]
[W-Will we be alright? It’s full of monsters outside!]
[Hehehe! There don’t seem to be that many monsters over here, and who knows? Maybe we’ll meet some beautiful furries!]
It turned out that these people were members of Japan’s far-right intemunity, 2ch. This onlinemunityprised anime otakus and Hikikomoris, representing one of Japan’s significant social issues.
These ten men hastily decided to flee when they felt their lives were at risk. However, their true motive for leaving was solely due to their reluctance to abandon their homnd.
Initially, it might seem they were reluctant to depart due to attachment to their mothend, but the reality was more twisted. These deranged men, each weighing over one hundred kilograms and emanating a stench like sweaty, rancid pigs due to their poor hygiene habits, believed they were now in a post-apocalyptic world. In their delusion, they saw themselves as kings entitled to im ownership over these destends.
Notably, they were oblivious to their own overpowering body odor, having grown ustomed to it.
[Wait for me, Fate-chan!]
Despite Japan teetering on the brink of copse, their primary interesty in looting abandoned figurine and DVD shops to fulfill their obsession with 2D anime girls.
As they departed Nagoya, heading toward the nearby mountains, their absurd intentions became more apparent.
<i>Whoosh! Tak!</i>
“Hey.”
<i>[H-Hiiik!]</i>
[W-Who are you?!]
The overweight men shrieked in horror when somethingnded behind them, initially thinking it was a monster. However, upon turning around, they were relieved to see a familiar face.
[What the? It’s just Lee Han-Yeol.]
[That surprised me... Damn it... Why did I get scared of that little <i>Chon</i>[2]? I am an embarrassment to the Great Japanese Empire!]
[I need tomit Seppuku now...]
<i>‘Hmm?’</i>
They assumed they could say anything they wanted in front of him, believing Han-Yeol couldn''t speak Japanese. This led them to hurl racist remarks at him, a skill they had mastered due to their involvement in the 2chmunity.
However, what they were unaware of was that Han-Yeol had recently gained the ability to speak Japanese thanks to his skill, Trantion.
It''s important to note that Han-Yeol held a dislike for certain Japanese individuals who dared to downy or mock the numerous war crimesmitted by their country,rgely due to misinformation taught by their government in history sses.
Moreover, "Chon" was a derogatory term used by the Japanese to insult Koreans, a meaning any Korean would understand even if they didn''t speak Japanese. Han-Yeol didn''t require Trantion toprehend what they meant by calling him a Chon.
Frankly speaking, these individualscked the basic intelligence required toprehend the gravity of their words.
1. An ancient Korean kingdom. ?
2. A derogatory remark exinedter. ?
