Chapter 375: Fact Always Wins (1)

‘Dumb humans.’

Of course, knowing the other enemy’s intentions didn’t mean that I could stop that kind of propaganda.

It was not an option, but a necessity, to demolish the opponent’s morale even a little before fighting or war. The anti-State alliance probably thought that they were right, so it was natural to invest in propaganda.

I looked around a bit and found that the elves sitting there were familiar with that voice.

It was probably heard from the time when the opposite camp’s wall was established.

‘Was there any response on our side?’

There was no way there wasn’t. I then opened my mouth and asked.

My question was answered by an elf guard looking at the wall. She was indeed a rare swordswoman. As I naturally saw her stats, the numbers weren’t that bad.

‘It’s surprising.’

She was just watching the guard, but her stats were about an Elune Knight’s level. Perhaps Elios hadn’t noticed her.

“Is it always heard?”

“Yes, Honorary Cardinal. I know it is usually heard about twice a day.”

“What is our response?”

“The kingdom also periodically uses voice amplification magic toward the anti-State alliance…”

“I see. Hmm… How is it? Does it seem to be directly affecting our morale?”

“It doesn’t. Because we know that all the words of our enemies are false, and we know what the anti-State coalition wants. And there’s no way we can trust such a ridiculous thing.”

‘Education is in place.’

This was also natural, in a way.

No matter how absurd it was, if you constantly listened to something, someone would be affected.

They wouldn’t expect to move many people anyway. Even if only one person would get affected, it could always be considered effective.

The anxiety created by that one would spread very quietly and slowly into the unit.

Anxiety or doubts continued to spread like cancer cells. The larger the scale, the harder it was for the command to grasp.

The superior was not God.

No matter how careful the troop management was, it was impossible to know what the advisor was thinking.

Education was what you needed for that. It was a kind of brainwashing activity.

We were not at fault. We were justice, and they were evil. They had launched the first strike. Justification was crucial in this part.

The size and quality, the branch of the troops, and the abilities that the named could have on the battlefield and its direction could be used.

There were many variables on the continent’s battlefield, but the troops’ morale was just as important as it was, even those who did not know that the tactics would know.

While tapping the thigh with a finger, the voice amplified continuously began to be heard.

It was propaganda that deserved acknowledgment.

-The State is disturbing the order of the continent. They made up something ridiculous about a demon summoner, turning the neutral region into a conflict zone. Not only did they urge war and encourage conflict, but on the 14th, eventually, they declared war first and pushed their troops in. Numerous civilian casualties were incurred, and our anti-Statement coalition had no choice but to raise the war flag. This is because the lunatic group who wants a war can no longer be left to roam the continent. The Holy State that all of you are aware of is not the former State. It’s just a mob under the name of revolution, with the mask of the idea of sacred democracy!

‘…’

-Oscar, who is currently the leader of the State, is the true rebel of the Goddess and the one who disturbs the order of the continent. She cannot even be said to be the leader of the State. She is just a puppet who follows the words of Honorary Cardinal Lee Kiyoung of the Holy See.

‘It’s not like a puppet…’

Although I flinched a bit, I had no choice but to keep my composure.

I could see the elven guard we talked with earlier looking forward with a fiery eye, even opening his mouth. I could see him possessing a very cautious attitude.

“Er…”

“Yes?”

“You don’t have to worry. We know better than anyone else that it is a ridiculous rumor, Honorary Cardinal.”

“…”

“How dare they? I don’t think any of the elves here think of what they say to be the truth.”

Occasionally, it was very burdensome to face such eager eyes. The innocent eyes of the flawless elven guards somehow began to pierce through my conscience.

Jung Hayan nodded as if the elf who believed in me looked to be okay, holding my hand tightly.

“Y-Yes. It’s all lies.”

“I-I saw Honorary Cardinal Lee Kiyoung fight against the demon through the Goddess’ Mirror, and I was really impressed. The story of saving our friends at the Slave Auction, or protecting Elena while you were in the huge beast.”

“…”

I had to protect her. But for some reason, I wanted to avoid his gaze.

“All the elves will want the same. I hope that those words will not hurt Honorary Cardinal Lee Kiyoung.”

‘I’m not really hurt…’

“T-That’s right, Oppa. You don’t have to worry about it.”

I was pretty sure she was trying her best to comfort me. She even looked angrier than me.

In fact, whatever they said over there, I was calm. In the meantime, the propaganda content was getting more intense.

-Our anti-State alliance is ready to accept you at any time. Please avoid losing our alliance and pretend. We are not here to fight you. All we want is the normalization of the continent. It is only our wish to overthrow the pope, who pretended to be a god, misled the entire continent, and exploited the people by hiding behind the back of a god, and the puppet queen and the mob who follows her. I know you hate fights. Please consider carefully. Please listen to our voices to all of you and the leaders.

After their speech was over, she kept glancing at me, blatantly worried.

‘I’d appreciate it if she thinks so.’

Of course, there was an existing sense of embarrassment, but if the overall public opinion is this way, there was no need to worry too much.

Of course, we shouldn’t stop educating to maintain morale.

Most elves won’t believe that, but maybe other people, including dwarves, might be unknowingly affected.

‘I should have read everything yesterday.’

At this point, I am curious about the content of this propaganda. It must be definitely written in the report Lee Jihye had given me to read.

But I thought I didn’t have to look at the content again now.

‘I can ask, well.’

I just had to ask the elf woman in front of me.

“What is the content of the propaganda on the part of the Kingdom of Eberia?”

It is mainly content that directly criticizes the human behavior of the Republic. The Laios incident and the propaganda that they started war first do not stop. Inhuman experiments, ruthless and thoughtless logging activities, and even criticism of reckless hunting. Each time the content is different, but this is normal.”

“I… see.”

‘What’s with the logging activities and reckless hunting?’

From an elf’s point of view, it was understandable to say that, but I could confidently say that it wouldn’t work for most humans.

I bet they would even laugh.

‘Would they make them feel guilty with only that?’

The essence of this kind of propaganda was to make the other person feel doubts.

Of course, there could be no humans questioning things like logging or hunting. A more direct method would be needed.

In fact, we didn’t even have to say anything until we had a sore throat because we already had the most convincing evidence.

“Hayan.”

“Yes?”

“Let’s prepare the Goddess’ Mirror with Sora.”

“W-Which one?”

“Did what happened in Laios still remain? I don’t need anything else, just that.”

“Just this one?”

“Yes. Can you do it? Of course, it has to be big enough to be seen by the other side.”

“I think I can do it if Han Sora trainee, no, if Sora-ssi helps.”

“Really? That’s great. Isn’t it a thing that consumes a lot of magic power?”

“I’ll ask Jeong-yeon to help. And to the other elves.”

“It would be better to do that. When you’re ready, come right here.”

“Okay!”

‘Then I just have to ask for some extra time.’

In fact, there was no problem with this at all.

The elf woman seemed curious about what I was trying to do. She was pretending to look forward, but I could see that she was moving her ears.

In the meantime, Jung Hayan started moving in a hurry.

‘What else would I need?’

Talking all day only hurt the mouth and hurt the head.

Of course, the meaning had not been conveyed as it was, and the efficiency was not very good. The amount of magic power that went into the voice amplification magic was also quite high.

Of course, it was more effective to borrow the power of civilization.

After a while, I began to see Han Sora and Hwang Jeong-yeon, who was running eagerly at Jung Hayan’s call.

The use of magical hologram artifacts was no different from a professional level anymore. As a huge magical hologram floated on the Eberian Kingdom’s side, eyes began to focus not only on the sky, but also here.

Naturally, I began to open my mouth because I needed some time to explain.

“I think it’s better to keep it in the air outside of the advertising time. They probably know better what is good and what is evil. I will tell the command. Please spread it to other units. You don’t have to be so surprised.”

“I will go preach right now.”

“Thank you. Hayan, test it right away and activate the magic hologram. They might not be able to see it. The demon summoner is in close-up detail.”

“Okay!”

“Sign up as soon as you’re ready.”

“I-I’m ready.”

“Then send it right away.”

“Okay, Oppa.”

I felt a little sorry for the demon summoner Jin Qing, but his face was already sold. Since he had gone through a lot, I thought he could go through a little more trouble.

No matter how insensitive the Republic was to black magic, it would be hard to not be shaken by watching such a scene.

‘Special star Belial, thank you again today.’

-My contractor Jin Qing. Your wishes will come true. Come on, unseal this seal! Then you will have more power in your hands!

What appeared in the Goddess’ Mirror was Jin Qing threatening the light, all while holding hands with the demon.

There would not be many people who could smile while looking at the true image of the day that the demon summoner, masked trash Jin Qing showed.

‘You can’t win against the facts by only talking about incitement and fabrication even for a hundred days. You bastards!”

The power of facts was indeed great.
