He Became The Most Insane Emperor Of All Time [EN]: Chapter 283

I Became the Greatest Crazy Emperor 283

“Your Majesty, we have completely eliminated the remaining rebels on the ground. The capital is now safe.”

The enemies had completely retreated. However, the capital was largely destroyed and could not boast its former beauty.

Moreover, the cries and sobs of those who had lost their families were heard everywhere. It was the moment they realized that the war, which they thought was only happening far away, was not someone else’s business.

“Damn bastards. What did we do wrong to deserve this?”

“I heard that the Creator God sees war as a game.”

“Son of a bitch… I will definitely take revenge.”

“Death to the enemies of the Empire!”

Their despair soon turned into anger. Everyone was clamoring for revenge and longing to go to the battlefield, and applications for enlistment poured in.

It was a shame that the capital was destroyed, but this was a cheap way to unify public opinion.

“It’s bitter that we can’t just be happy about it. Prime Minister, can you quickly arm them?”

“We have enough supplies, so it won’t be difficult right away. We can also use the manpower turned into laborers to produce the amount that will be insufficient due to the continued enlistment.”

Just because they want revenge doesn’t mean they all become soldiers. Some will have to pick up tools instead of guns and go to the factory.

“…Also, we have completed the preparation for mass production of new war weapons with the advanced technologies.”

“Good.”

Now that the enemies have truly hit us, it’s time for us to retaliate. Now, burning with revenge, is the right time.

However, it wasn’t possible with just enthusiasm, so understanding the situation was a priority.

“What is the situation on each front?”

“The cities that were attacked besides the capital have also repelled the enemies. Fortunately, there were no severe airstrikes in the provincial cities. However…….”

“However?”

“Our allies, the Dark Elves and Orcs, have requested support once again. This one seems quite serious.”

I already knew that they were also under attack. But I told them to hold on for now, but it seems like things didn’t go well on their side?

The Prime Minister wouldn’t have mentioned it to me again unless it was really serious. The fact that he mentioned it specifically was asking if we should really abandon them.

Then, it was necessary to hear what was happening first. Even if the support was put on hold for now.

“What is the situation on both sides? Are they being pushed back helplessly?”

“Both have suffered devastating damage. Still, the Orcs are holding out a bit, but the Elves’ situation doesn’t seem good.”

The Elves are untrustworthy. But it was natural. Unlike the Greenskins [Orcs], the Elves are just nominal allied colonial autonomous regions, and frankly, they have almost no proper defense system.

Still, it’s disappointing that the Dark Elves, who I told to govern themselves, don’t seem to have any power. I gave them quite a lot of weapons and money.

“The situation is not good. Our northern region is also under attack, so we can’t just ignore their support requests. So, let’s hear your opinions. Where should we go first?”

Rather than making a decision on this issue alone, I asked for the opinions of my officials. It wasn’t for political intentions, but I really wanted to hear various opinions.

“Your Majesty, I think it would be better to help the Elves first.”

“Why? Aren’t they the most untrustworthy allies? Even you, Commander of the Guard, don’t like the Elves, do you?”

“That’s why we should help them first.”

Along with me, the Commander of the Guard, who doesn’t really like the Elves of this world, gave an unexpected opinion.

“I don’t like them either, but if they are pushed back endlessly, the burdensome war zones will increase again. We must help them to an appropriate level before they collapse.”

“Are you saying that you really think they can’t hold out at all?”

“That’s what has been reported.”

At the Commander of the Guard’s words, I looked at the report that contained the reports on that side.

“The chimeras left by the Beast King and the Elf traitors are moving together… The situation is certainly not good.”

It was certainly a more serious situation than other war zones. But going to help the untrustworthy Elves while the clear ally, the Northern Army, is fighting hard was not a pleasant thing.

“I’m not saying that all support should be turned to them. Of course, the biggest support should go to the north. However, a small elite support should go to the more urgent front.”

“That’s the Elves. Okay, that’s not bad.”

To put it nicely, that’s all the loyalty we have to give to the Elves. Completely abandoning them would be a loss for us, and they might turn their guns upside down, so we have to help them appropriately.

“Your Majesty, what about the Greenskins?”

Then, Hendrick, the head of the intelligence agency, asked about the Greenskins [Orcs]. I gave a general answer.

“We can’t leave that place alone either, but shouldn’t we help after stabilizing other war zones for now?”

The Greenskins, the Orcs, had better national defense than the Elves, so they held out a bit more. It is true that they were damaged.

“Your Majesty, I can understand in principle, but if we do that, the Greenskins will feel deprived and dissatisfied.”

“…That’s right.”

However, the problem with my opinion was that it was somewhat in line with the logic of “Since you’re doing better, I’ll give you more work.”

Even if it was unavoidable, that didn’t mean it wouldn’t make the other person feel deprived.

“I have a good idea.”

“What is it, Head of Intelligence?”

“What the Orcs want is not troops but weapons. They have enough troops.”

The Greenskins’ [Orcs’] reproductive power was overwhelmingly superior, so the population was full compared to their power. Of course, even if the war situation was bad, they didn’t lack the population to use as troops.

“On the other hand, we have enough weapons. We are not short of troops either. We can give them some weapons and increase the number of workers instead of soldiers.”

“So… you’re saying we should give weapons to the Orcs.”

“Yes, but I think it would be good to send some of their troops to other fronts. To the northern and Elven fronts.”

In other words, it was to give the Greenskins [Orcs] land lease and use them as a troop window.

“That’s reasonable. Let’s do that. If we do that, we can send more support to the Elven territory, so it won’t be bad.”

“Your Majesty, but the Greenskins and Elves don’t get along very well. Won’t there be a problem?”

“Is this the time for the Elves to care about that?”

If the Orcs complain that they are helping them, it means they are still full.

Well, considering the average personality of the Elves in this world, it seems like that might be the case, but what can I do? I have no choice but to tell them to get along and live well.

Who knows? They might get along so well with the Orcs who were dispatched that they might even fall in love.

“G, monsters are coming!”

Around the time the war broke out and the Empire’s capital was attacked, the Elves were also experiencing the same thing.

However, they faced enemies that were slightly different from the Empire.

-Kyaaaaaaak!

“Shoot! Shoot their legs! Keep them from coming!”

“Uaaaaaaak!”

What greeted them were the battle chimeras that the Imperial Army had faced a while ago.

Their whole bodies were modified for battle, and they rushed in with armor embedded on the surface of their skin. They rushed in without flinching at the Elves’ accurate shots.

“I, it’s useless! They regenerate even if you hit their heads!”

Even specially evolved, they had the characteristic of being highly regenerative and not dying easily even when hit in vital spots. Furthermore, they reproduce by using the kidnapped opponent as a host, so the Elves who became prisoners were transformed into chimeras and stood in front of them again.

“N, no! Save me! I don’t want to become a monster!”

Desperate screams were heard from all over the front lines. In fact, if the Elves had the military power of their heyday, they would not have been pushed back so carelessly.

In fact, the Dark Elf regular army was doing well on the front lines where they were deployed.

However, the front lines, where the military tradition was shattered and filled with crude militias, were literally grinding away lives.

-Krrrrrrrr…

A beast-like chimera that could no longer be called a person, with a long, black head and a long, hard, sharp tail, was approaching an Elf remnant.

“Huk, huke…….”

Tic! Tictic!

The Elf, a female Elf soldier who had fought fiercely until then, aimed her revolver and pulled the trigger, but the bullets were already gone.

There were no suicide bullets left. If this continued, she would only be dragged away by that monster and turned into a monster.

“Someone…….”

She wanted to ask for help, but who would come to help? There was no hope for her who was exhausted.

-Keeeeee…….

Soon the monster drooled and approached her. She closed her eyes tightly again.

Whiriririk, Puh-uck!

“……?”

But at that moment, she heard a dull sound that grated on her ears. She hadn’t been killed.

When she opened her eyes, an axe was embedded in the head of the monster that was trying to attack her.

“You can’t close your eyes on the battlefield, Elf lady.”

When she wondered what was going on, she heard someone’s voice right above the trench she was leaning on.

Soon, with a heavy sound of Kuung!, the owner of the voice jumped into the trench.

“Orc?”

“Have you never seen an Orc before? Do you hate it because he’s an Orc? The person who saved you?”

“A, no…….”

She shook her head. Traditionally, Elves and Orcs did not get along well… Rather, Elves were hated by almost all races. To be exact, Elves were both admired and envied.

But now that they had been hopelessly broken by the Empire and had become the laughing stock of other races, that was a thing of the past.

To be exact, the Elves were not in a position to show hatred to other races. It’s not that she personally had such feelings.

“Well, it doesn’t matter. I’ve never seen an Elf before either. Anyway, nice to meet you, miss. I’m Captain Kronbar.”

“L, Lieutenant Elfin.”

Teop-

She took the Orc’s hand and stood up, looking around with anxious eyes. There were still monsters swarming around, and more were coming over the trench.

“S, excuse me, but you didn’t come alone, did you?”

“Are you crazy? Such a heroic crazy thing is no longer among the Orcs.”

Kurrrrrrrrr-

As soon as Kronbar finished speaking, a tremendous roar and vibration were felt. Elfin looked in the direction of the sound in surprise, and an unbelievable sight unfolded.

Kurrrrrrrrr, Tupuk! Tupuk!

“W, what is that? That giant steel carriage is…….”

“Tank.”

Kronbar said, grabbing his axe.

“It’s a weapon provided by the Empire. It’s the pride of our regiment.”

Tupuk! Buuuuuuung!

At the same time as Kronbar spoke, a fighter plane passed by in the sky, and the steel coffin, the tank, poured out fire without stopping.

The Empire’s first counterattack operation had begun.
