The Cook of a Perished World - Chapter 206
Episode 206: Green Mane Tribe (2)
“This guy. “Did you eat anything on the way there?”
“no. The resistance was so strong that I couldn’t even think of feeding it anything. “Why is that?”
“That’s a good thing.”
With a monster in between.
Two humans having a conversation.
Looking at those people.
‘…How did it come to this?’
An old shaman from the Greenmane tribe.
Borgin thought.
‘The situation is urgent. There is no time to be like this.’
now.
The tribe he belonged to was facing a very big crisis.
A crisis so great that the tribe might perish.
When the tribe is on the verge of extinction.
To solve him.
Borgin was moving very quickly.
but.
There was one fact that he did not expect.
‘I couldn’t believe it… there were crazy native species roaming around inside our territory…’
What held his feet like that.
A completely unexpected enemy.
It was a force of indigenous species.
‘I never thought there would be people who entered the territory of a warring power and acted so shamelessly. ‘He is clearly not in his right mind.’
And…
that fact made Borgin’s heart even heavier.
‘You don’t even know that people like that are active within the territory…’
How big is the crisis facing the tribe right now?
Because I felt it even more painfully.
We need to respond to this problem as quickly as possible.
I just feel sorry for myself for being stranded here.
‘Still… I will never betray my people.’
Although I have already suffered severe torture.
He never opened his mouth.
No matter what you go through.
He would never do anything that would harm the tribe.
There was still work to be done, so he did not throw his life away.
But if it hadn’t been so.
He even threw his life away if he was going to do something that was harmful to his tribe.
‘I… am different from that great sorcerer!’
Unlike the traitor who betrayed his tribe and brought it to the brink of destruction.
Borjin will never betray his tribe.
I was determined to do so, but…
“Come on. Ah, do it.”
-Kkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk!!!
Until that promise falls apart.
It didn’t take that long.

[Honmar Beef Jerky with honest emotions filled with the sincerity of a war chef]
[Becomes very honest when consumed.]
Mate!
“ruler. “I enjoyed the meal, so let’s start again.”
After a bout of forced feeding.
I clapped my hands, walked up to him, and opened my mouth.
“name.”
-It’s Borgin. Just a few hours ago ,
he was the one who showed a rebellious attitude by spitting in my face.
That kind of attitude is a guy who opens his mouth obediently everywhere.
but.
He must have been quite upset that he was opening his mouth.
He was gnashing his teeth and glaring at me.
‘Yeah~ I’m not scared.’
This is a dish I have already used several times.
Even though he shows such a hostile attitude, he answers faithfully whenever I ask him anything.
by the way.
I fed him a lot of ‘honesty’ and he answered well in Korean.
And answering in Korean means only one thing.
“you. “It looks like he was treating humans as slaves.”
-…Cruk. Yes.
“under.”
I couldn’t bear to refute it.
The guy who turns his head.
It’s not like these guys are overflowing with academic enthusiasm.
Why would there be any reason to learn the language of another race?
‘To use useful humans as slaves.’
There are cases where shamans can use Korean.
This is a fact I have already heard from the people who were rescued from them.
‘I feel like I want to cook it right away.’
I’ll have to be patient here for a bit.
First of all, I had to ask questions first.
What I’m most curious about right now is…
“You.” “How on earth did you get caught?”
How this guy was captured so obediently.
itself.
Even if you lose the battle.
Of course, they ignore hostile forces roaming their territory.
To the extent of being kidnapped like this.
Something is strange.
-…Our tribe is now extremely weakened.
“no. “I know that.”
Because it is true that the battle against us was completely lost.
Those who called themselves great warriors and great sorcerers were also dealt with in the process.
It’s a strange situation that it doesn’t weaken.
-No… What I want to say is a little different.
“ok?”
however.
What I thought and what he said seemed a little different.
-Our tribe specializes in war more than anyone else. We went through countless wars over a long period of time… and not all of those battles ended in victory.
They seem to have a lot of pride in their race.
Even though he was forced to open his mouth, his speaking attitude exuded confidence.
-We certainly suffered great damage in the last battle. However, this was not the first defeat of this magnitude in the tribe’s history.
“Is that something to be proud of?”
-It would be shameful if we perished due to that defeat. But even though we suffered countless defeats, our tribe always managed to bounce back!
“…hmm.”
If that’s the case.
Isn’t it enough to feel proud?
-The damage suffered by you guys is no exception. The troops lost at that time could be recovered in 3 months.
How many troops died at that time?
That can be restored in just 3 months.
“The great warriors and great sorcerers are also dead?”
-That part hurts, but it’s just a little worse than them. There are many people who can replace that position. I could easily take his place right now.
“…You’re a great sorcerer?”
-Of course. It’s a little lower in magic power than him, but it’s not at all inferior in wisdom.
“Uh oh. okay. “I guess so.”
Even if we assume that the last words may be bluff.
The fact that this guy’s species has enormous production capacity.
This is something I also confirmed through [Food Ingredient Identification].
If so, something is a little concerning.
‘…When Taejun asked that guy, he didn’t say anything like that?’
Right after the battle with these guys.
Winter has come.
We decided to reduce external activities and begin internal maintenance.
But no matter how winter has come.
It was not impossible to go out and suppress their remnants if I wanted to.
Through Ariella, their internal information has been found out to some extent.
Even if there is some damage.
It would have been entirely possible to just throw it away.
The reason I didn’t do that was because…
‘Taejun had astrology that told him there was no need to rush.’
actually.
Despite losing a lot of troops on the front line against the Green Mane tribe.
There have been no major problems so far.
What if they were able to recover from the damage so quickly?
Something must have gone wrong long ago.
There was some reason…
-The reason the tribe I mentioned became weak… was not because they lost that battle.
“…?”
-It’s because something terrible happened to the tribe that should never have happened…
An old shaman who was showing pride in his tribe just a moment ago.
He couldn’t hold back his anger and said with clenched teeth.
-A civil war broke out.
“…civil war?”
A civil war.
Those monsters that came together like that to attack us.
civil war?
“A civil war suddenly breaks out. “What is the reason?”
-Iyura….
Let me ask that question.
The guy doesn’t answer but just stares at my face.
“what. “Is there something on my face?”
-…no. That’s because I thought it was a bit surprising that you asked that.
“huh?”
-Did you ask why the civil war broke out?
While answering questions.
The guy who can’t take his eyes off my face.
-It’s half because of you.
“…Eh?”
– To be more precise.
It feels stuffy.
A monster sighing deeply.
-It’s because of the dark spirit that the great shaman summoned to kill you.
…what.
Why is it here?
* * *
[Green Mane Tribe]
This tribe, a branch of the Orc tribe, worships the god of the grasslands like most other Orcs.
They gained strength by communicating with the earth spirit, the messenger of the steppe god.
They became a tribe for war.
The influence of the earth spirit was also present to some extent.
The more land you have.
Their connection with spirits becomes deeper and deeper.
All tribe members will be able to gain stronger power.
‘More land!’
‘More power!’
The tribe went through endless wars of conquest.
His actions were similar even after arriving on Earth.
We also tried to expand our territory as quickly as possible.
It was to increase communication with the spirits of the earth.
But…
it’s very rare among the Orcs.
Communicate with beings other than the spirits of the earth…
No.
There was a case where a [contract] was made.
That being is very sinister and powerful…
and its greed is so deep that there is no end in sight.
Devil, evil spirit, evil spirit….
or.
A being called a devil.
A war between the Legion and the Green Mane Tribe that took place some time ago.
On that final battlefield.
-Cruk.
The old shaman…
Borjin was also there.
Looking at the flow of the battlefield where the battle is taking place.
Borgin thought to himself.
‘The color of defeat is deep.’
It was a war that started with confidence.
The native species that were their enemies were extremely powerful.
A shaman powerful enough to distort their horoscope.
A fortress tall enough to block their numbers.
Unidentified guardians guarding the fortress.
In addition, there are steel weapons that emit flames that the native species possessed.
That in itself is quite a challenge.
If it had stopped there, there wouldn’t have been a problem.
However, fatal bad news overlapped with it.
‘Appeared at the rear of the tribe… ‘Powerful horse.’
How unlucky.
A monster that happened to appear behind the tribe and dominate the tribe’s warriors.
As a result, the power was dispersed in all directions to subdue the monster.
The situation is.
The situation began to turn overwhelmingly against the tribe.
and.
A large-scale turnaround occurred after such adverse events occurred.
There, Borgin saw an incredible sight and spoke.
Couuuuuuuuuuck!
-Wow!
Kargara, the Great Warrior, is the tribe’s strongest warrior.
That’s him.
It looks like they are being pushed back in a fight with indigenous warriors.
-A warrior capable of defeating even a great warrior…!
No matter how much the Great Master is said to have been weakened by the seal of this land.
It is said that the land they conquered is small and the blessings of the spirits are lacking.
‘The berserker who only appeared in legends has appeared…!’
The defeat of Daejeon Temple.
It was something that should never have happened.
‘We must retreat!’
Something happened that should never have happened.
There is no point in continuing this battle.
-Cruch… Borjin!
-Know. Brothers. Retreat as quickly as possible!
Looking at the other shamans’ perceptions.
They seem to have the same thoughts as me.
I saw the shamans taking a step back little by little.
‘This fight was lost, but there is no need to rush.’
It is no exaggeration to say that the Green Mane tribe was born for war.
A war that has been experienced countless times.
And in all wars, victory cannot be the only thing.
Defeat was not unfamiliar to the Green Mane tribe.
‘The first priority is to retreat while preserving as much of the troops as possible. Power can be replenished at any time.’
Even though we may have lost today.
What if they revive their power and start a war?
‘If you aim for the next opportunity, there are plenty of times…’
Things like the current defeat.
It can be overturned at any time.
Those were the shamans who thought so, but…
[It’s a contract.]
A voice coming from far away.
The shamans could not help but be shocked by that voice.
The first reason is.
That the voice belonged to someone very familiar.
And the second one.
The word that voice contains…
contract.
-Great Great Shaman?
-What did you just say…!
A race born for war.
And in war, unity among members is essential.
From the tribe’s beginnings to its downfall.
The unity among the tribe members has never been broken…
‘Only once.’
That one split.
Of course, in the end, even their warchief lost his life.
The reason that made them refugees in another dimension was…
-Ku Kurdan!?
-Great shaman! Why are you…?
A contract with the devil.
That terrible contract.
It was recreated again before the eyes of the tribe members.
[The spirit of darkness descends.]
The devil’s family, which emits a terrible aura just by looking at it, has descended on the battlefield.
They rushed to kill a native species.
-Ah…
Borjin saw that.
What is that devil’s family doing?
I wasn’t even interested in whether I achieved my goal or not.
His gaze shakes.
I looked around.
-The great shaman made a contract with the devil!
The head of the shamans.
The great sorcerer made a contract with the devil.
Even.
He sacrificed not only himself but also the body of the great warrior to summon the devil’s family.
One most important thing.
-It’s betrayal…!
-The shamans betrayed the tribe!!!
That sight…
was witnessed by all the tribe members on the battlefield.
An old and experienced shaman.
Borgin had a hunch.
‘A big crisis is coming to the tribe.’ The trigger for the crisis
will
not come from external native species, but from within them.
