Became the Crazy God Emperor 285

“General, the Imperial Army is coming! It’s the Greenskins!”

“Put the Chimeras [creatures with mixed animal parts] forward. We just need to bombard them.”

Elven Territory Front. Fierce battles were taking place daily in the area where the front lines were fixed.

Their opponents were the Greenskins.

Although they weren’t the Imperial Army, who could be called their arch-enemies, the fact that they wielded the Empire’s weapons made them even more threatening.

However, the Elves were using artificial spirit magic by sacrificing their souls to unleash powerful firepower.

When pale white energy shells rained down, dozens to hundreds of Greenskins were swept away.

“Waaagh! Kill the Elves!”

“Ugh! Concentrate fire on the Trolls! Where are the snipers?”

Conversely, the Greenskins fiercely pushed forward with even greater numbers, undeterred by the Chimeras they were fielding in their quantity offensive.

As a result, gaps appeared in various parts of the front lines, and the Elves had to defend those areas.

The Greenskins who stormed in were killed countless times by the counterattacks of the experienced Elves, but the casualties among the traitor Elves were also increasing.

“General, casualties are increasing. Shouldn’t we retreat at this point?”

The resistance commander, who was listening to the general’s orders, suggested to the general as he watched the increasing casualties.

However, the general shook his head.

“We can’t. Don’t you know this is our last chance? If we fail to push them back this time, we won’t be able to stand against the Empire again! Moreover, the Creator will be disappointed!”

At the general’s stubborn words, the Elven commander flinched for a moment. He was very concerned about the words he added at the end.

He never expected such words to come from the mouth of a once-respected elder.

“General… I hesitate to say this, but isn’t the Creator also someone we can’t trust?”

“Are you… uttering blasphemous words?”

“Isn’t that the truth? Even if he wins in this game of gods, there’s no reason for him to look kindly upon us.”

“So, you’re saying the Empire should win?”

The general was also furious at the commander’s words. Apart from his worship of the Creator, his perspective on the overall situation was different from that of the young commander.

“Of course, that’s not what I’m saying. But isn’t it known what kind of being the Creator is? He’s just using the world as his game board. Also, he’s merciless to failures.”

“It sounds like you’re saying we’re failures.”

“That’s how he might see us. I’m afraid of that.”

That fear had grown even more since he contacted a Doppelganger [shapeshifter] spy from the Empire some time ago.

In fact, the thoughts he had vaguely held even before meeting him had grown larger after meeting him.

“I can’t say your anxiety is entirely unfounded.”

“Is that so? General, then perhaps….”

“But there’s no turning back now. No, rather, knowing that it will turn out as you say, we have no choice but to push harder.”

“…!”

The young commander was shocked by the general’s answer. What does this mean?

“What do you mean it will turn out as I say?”

“As you said, he’s disappointed in us. So, he’s planning a Great Cleansing.”

“Great Cleansing…?”

His face turned pale at the very ominous word. But the general said without batting an eye.

“This place, this planet, is a small model garden for him. A place where he cultivates as he pleases and watches as he pleases.”

The Creator had already reached the stage of creating the universe, but he kept this planet at around the Middle Ages.

The general thought that he valued this planet especially. Of course, the truth was a little different. The Creator had simply repeatedly recreated on this planet.

“If he doesn’t like that model garden, it’s up to him to destroy it again according to his will.”

“But, but if that happens-”

“That’s right. Our own people will die too. A lot of them.”

“…!”

The general spoke as if the devastating words were nothing. Rather, as if wondering why he was so surprised.

“Don’t worry. We here have been chosen.”

“Chosen…?”

“I mean, we’re different from those traitors who are attached to the Empire. He will leave us behind and cleanse this world. And we, as his apostles, will open a new world.”

The general sneered with a dangerous ambition revealed. A sneer that ridiculed everything in this world, even his own people.

“Do you understand? You don’t have to worry about that. If we win, we’ll get everything.”

“General… but all our people will die! What does that mean?”

“What’s the meaning of heretical and treacherous people? You… I guess it won’t work after all.”

Click-

At the general’s gesture, his guards aimed at the young commander.

“General?”

“Did you think I didn’t know you contacted the spy?”

“…….”

“But I gave you a chance… especially because I cherished you. But you disappoint me.”

The young commander lowered his head at the general’s words. But soon, as if determined, he raised his head again.

“General, I’m disappointed in you too.”

“Why? Because I’m planning to massacre our people?”

“No.”

Bang!

“Cough?!”

The young commander said those last words and then took out a pistol and shot him. Even in the meantime, the guards who were aiming at him did not shoot him.

“Wh, what….”

“General… Do you think I would have brought up this topic to you without any preparation or countermeasures?”

“Yo, you…”

“In fact, until just now, I was half-doubtful. Whether their words were true… But the general gives me confidence.”

The aides and the general’s guards who were aiming at him were all won over.

All of them were sending the general a look of anger.

“The general’s miscalculation is… that he underestimated our ideals.”

The ideal of liberating the people. That ideal was never inferior to the worship of God.

“We… will not be anyone’s slaves, General. We will not abandon our people either.”

“So… so you’re going to cling to the Empire!”

“We’re not clinging, we’re getting it from them with dignity.”

Of course, he never trusted the Empire either.

If they didn’t keep their word, he would resist to the end.

But even if he was betrayed, it was fine.

‘At least our people won’t die.’

They were people who turned their backs on them because they were deceived by the Empire’s machinations. But even so, he couldn’t abandon them.

Someday, that misunderstanding may be resolved and the Elves may reunite. The long-lived Elves could promise that as much as they wanted.

“Ugh… You, you will regret it….”

“General, if I regret it, I will gladly apologize to the general in the next life.”

With those words, he gestured. Soon everyone shot at him.

Tat-tat-tat! Bang!

The general became a beehive as it was. But the gunfire did not stop. Starting with this, the Creator’s followers were being purged within the resistance army.

“Emperor, what are you going to do now.”

The young commander muttered such words quietly. Now their fate was in his hands.

* * *

“With this, the Elven Territory front has stabilized. We might even be able to push them back.”

As planned, they succeeded in alienating the Elves.

In fact, they would have been satisfied even if they failed or only partially succeeded. But it was a great success.

“Are the Elven resistance forces cooperative?”

“Yes, they have now signed a ceasefire agreement and stopped fighting. They even showed a gesture of helping to secure the northern territory.”

“Tell them to do so. There’s no need to stop them when they say they’ll fight for us.”

I was worried about what to do if they surrendered and were uncooperative, but there was no need to worry about that.

I don’t know the details, but it seems they were quite disappointed with the opposition. Or maybe they have high expectations for me.

“However, Your Majesty… Do you really intend to bestow grace upon them?”

The commander of the Imperial Guard asked me, as if he was concerned about what was promised to them.

In fact, it would not be acceptable for him, a soldier of heaven, to create a virtual enemy state with our own hands.

“That’s right. I don’t say one thing and do another. How can the Emperor lie and maintain his dignity?”

“However, Your Majesty….”

“It’s not just a matter of faith.”

But I was only doing it for realistic reasons.

“First, if they go completely underground, it will be difficult for us to annihilate them. This is the first reason.”

If I win against the Creator, I wanted to eliminate as many unstable elements as possible for the future Empire.

But if such resistance forces seep into the shadows and continue to be passed down, they will surely become dangerous beings in the distant future.

To put it simply, they would become terrorists, and those who hide in such shadows could be much more dangerous. In that case, it would be better to give them land that would not affect our hegemony.

If they have something to protect, they will not be able to continue fighting in the shadows.

“And secondly. With them, the Elves cannot easily unite.”

“That’s certainly true. Didn’t we make it that way? But someday they may resolve their misunderstandings and reunite.”

“That’s right. But even if they are of the same race and compatriots, they don’t always try to unite and harmonize. On the contrary, there are plenty of people who want division.”

Right now, the privileged Elves who live off the Empire’s crumbs will oppose integration.

Those below them are satisfied with the Empire’s shadow and will not try to unite. If the Empire is fine, this will not change.

Of course, I don’t know what will happen in the distant future.

If the Empire declines or becomes chaotic due to a foolish leader, an untimely nationalism may flare up and yearn for unification.

“But by that time, we will either be prepared, or it will not be the time to worry about such things.”

“…You’re still cynical. Still, as a god, I’m very relieved that there won’t be any problems for the time being.”

“Yes… there’s nothing to worry about here now.”

It was time to turn our attention to another front.

Fortunately, we hardly deployed any Imperial troops here. Thanks to the Greenskin Allied Forces for doing well.

“Then where should we go now.”

There are two remaining fronts. The Northern Front and the Western Front where the Greenskins are.

However, the Western Front was stabilized by providing the Greenskins with semi-unlimited weapons.

“Then it’s time to take care of ourselves.”

The front I chose was the Northern Front. The North, it was now time to fight the Demons, who could truly be called the Creator’s direct subordinates.

Now was the time for a counterattack.
