I Am an Evil God

Episode 22-The beginning of the holy war

Lempria and her army continued walking along the forest.

Although they were walking on a road they had never walked before, their steps were very confident.

Because they are an army that is protected by God.

Because it was an army going to open a holy war to spread the name of God.

“People in the northern villages probably believe in Lemfra-sama’s fragments, right?”

“Probably so. Just like all the villages that obeyed Lemfra so far.”

“Have you thought about how to deal with it?”

The imp, who boasts that she is half a head taller than her older sister because she is half of the Kinki blood, looked at Lempria and asked.

“How do I deal with it?”

Lempria grinned.

“All I have to do is give salvation to those who believe in Lemfra, and death to those who don’t.”

“Dad made people who didn’t believe in Lemfra at first eventually believe in Lemfra. Of course, people who don’t accept Lemfra have problems, but just know that the fragments leading them are the problem.”

“It’s something to think about once you’ve found the village.”

It has already been four hours since they started walking towards the north.

Considering that it took less than 2 hours to get from Lemfra Village to the starting point of the 8 villages, the number of villages in the northern part of the forest was very low.

‘It’s worth it.’

It was the same forest, but the environment was different from Lemfra Village.

There were many taller and thicker trees, and there were few areas that could receive proper sunlight.

It would have been quite difficult to build a civilization in a place like this.

But they continued to move north.

If you go south, there is no skill to cross the river, and if you go east, there is a huge stone mountain, and if you cross it, there is an ominous and red-glowing land, so I decided to head north.

You might have guessed that there was a typhoon, but it was summer.

Under the tree, the humidity was high and the temperature was high, so the fatigue of the soldiers rose quickly, but Lempria did not slow down.

I didn’t know exactly how long the forest would be, but according to philosophers, if I walked hard for a day, I could get out of the forest, so I believed that and tried to get out of the forest today.

“The idea of going out of the forest by the end of the day is nice, but how are you going to sleep? You left everything except weapons and food in the village for mobility.”

“You are very worried too.”

Lempria stroked the imp’s head.

“If you cross the forest, there will be a new village. You can rent a house there. What’s the problem?”

The sight of Lempria speaking with a sly laugh made the imp’s skin slightly goosebumps.

The total number of soldiers Lempria brought was 200.

Although the current situation is that food production is increasing and the population is increasing, it was quite unreasonable to select 18 people from each of the 11 villages.

Less than 1/10 of the village’s population escapes is a huge penalty, but 200 strong men almost the size of one village will sleep in another village?

People in the village being invaded Yes, let’s sleep in our village and go. There was almost no chance of them kindly accepting it, so it was no different than completely incapacitating a village.

“Don’t talk nonsense, just focus on walking.”

Lempria patted the imp on the back and took the lead.

Since only Lempra existed in her head, she did not care how much the people in other villages were suffering.

Lempria’s army, which set off at sunrise, was able to get out of the forest only near sunset.

Since there was a huge river just below the forest where they started, it was safe to say that it had practically completely penetrated the forest.

“Swoop.”

Lempria took a deep breath.

A smell quite different from the damp smell she had smelled so far came through her nose.

“There are no trees nearby.”

Lempria looked around and said.

There was such a huge forest right next to me, but as soon as I got out of the forest, I couldn’t see any trees.

“Alprea, look around you. There must be traces of trees being cut down in this forest.”

At Lempria’s confident words, the imp tapped her on the shoulder and pointed to the end of the forest.

There was already a large amount of trees cut down with their trunks visible.

“I don’t think you can see it without even trying to look at it?”

“You can just listen to what your sister says, do you really have to bother?”

While the two siblings were arguing, Alprea went near the tree and looked at the traces.

Most of the other traces have been erased, probably because of a typhoon recently, but we were able to find one trace heading to another place.

“If you go over there, you will see a village.”

“Yes, good.”

Lempria looked in the direction Alfrea pointed.

Her eyes were shiny like a wolf watching its prey.

“Let’s go, gentlemen, let’s spread the faith in Lemfra and prepare a bed for us to sleep comfortably.”

Unlike the past, when I just walked without meeting other villages, I didn’t know that there might be an attack on the village from now on.

The soldiers took out their weapons and held them in their hands.

50 Soldiers were carrying spears, 100 soldiers were carrying bows, and the remaining 50 soldiers were carrying shields.

Although they started producing bronze, they couldn’t get enough to make 50 full shields, so the shields were made of very thick wood, and only the tip of the spear, which was not a consumable, was finished with bronze.

-Thump, boom, boom.

If someone else heard them walking, they would describe it as the sound of a mountain moving.

It wasn’t really that loud, but the sight of 200 strong men walking with their weapons on was so intimidating.

“Over there, I see a village.”

“Are you sure?”

“Yes, I’m sure.”

Among the soldiers, the one with the best eyesight announced that there was a village far away.

The difference in vision between him and the other soldiers was about 30 paces, so it also meant that if you walk 30 more steps, you can see the village properly.

“Everyone, stop thinking about wielding weapons. We’re only going to spread Lemfra’s faith.”

‘The map is smiling.’

As the imp thought, Lempria had a wide smile on her lips as if she was looking forward to the upcoming battle.

After walking a little further, the town began to catch my eye.

After walking a little further, the whole village caught my eye.

The size of the village was not much different from their own, but the development of the village was considerably lower.

Unlike Lemfra villages, which have already been replaced with wooden structures and even built brick houses designed by Katria, the goddess of wisdom, their villages are mostly made of wooden boards with a few straws on them. It was made in the shape of

Unlike the village of Lemfra, where they discovered a large river nearby and started producing food there, this place was much drier and the fertility of the land was poor.

“Who are you!”

As Lempria’s army approached the village, a man who looked quite old and five strong men rushed out of the village and approached them.

“We are the ones who have come to tell you the true truth.”

“The real truth?”

“Yes, believing in the omnipotent Creator God Lemfra is the true truth.”

At Lempria’s words, the old man responded with a big smile as if embarrassed.

“God is not absolute. The god Lemfra you are talking about is just one of the many gods that exist in this world. What the hell are you talking about!”

“What you believe in is not God. It’s just a fragment made by Lemfra.”

“Get out of here. I have nothing to say to you ruffians who don’t recognize other gods.”

“Swoop.”

Lempria took a short breath.

“There are many gods in the world? How many?”

“I don’t know about that. Every village has one god who guides it, and as far as I know, there are well over 20 villages, so there must be as many gods as there are.”

“So, you mean there are at least 20 villages?”

He threw out the spear he was holding.

Her spear, finished in bronze, pierced the old man’s heart when she met her mighty strength.

“Gentlemen, annihilate this village. Let’s spread the fear of death if we don’t follow Lemfra to everyone who believes in the gods.”

As soon as she finished her words, the soldiers who were loading her bow fired arrows at the village.

It was an arrow that was not aimed properly, but it was shot by 100 people, so many people fell after being hit by blind arrows.

“What… Gap!”

The strongmen who followed the old man also collapsed after being hit by Lempria’s fist.

“Let’s go, boys.”

A deep smile appeared on Lempria’s lips as she walked towards her village after pulling her spear out of her old man’s heart.
