Dicuo, the mechanic from heaven

One's own existence is the most "fair and just".

Also, if Ishtar loses and still wants to cheat, I can force them to fulfill the agreement.

the most important is.

The agreement between the two included the "secret" of their cooperation with the Dark Clan, which must not be made public.

Ishtar obviously didn't want to either.

Although the goddess used all means to deal with Freya, she also knew that once the cooperation between her clan and the dark clan was exposed, there would be no place for the Ishtar clan in the entire Orario.

Even she herself would be sent back to heaven immediately.

That's why Al said she was stupid.

Ugh.

"If the goddess has no objection to the format of the war game, then let's follow the one I proposed."

"what?"

"Island Survival Battle."

"???"

……

In the ocean outside the port city, there are many small islands scattered like stars.

On the way here.

Al has also been thinking about what the form of the war game should be.

But no matter what, the first priority must be to keep it secret and not let others know that he and the Ishtar clan are playing a war game.

Then.

Small islands overseas are a good choice.

【Island Survival Battle】

"On the small island outside the port city, each participating clan member will receive a certain amount of [Supplies] of Fali. At the same time, scattered across the islands are also collectible [Supplies] of a certain value."

"Both gods and their clan members need to participate in the game together, and participants are divided into combatants and non-combatants."

"Combatants may not attack the enemy's non-combatants, but they may rob the enemy of their supplies."

"Finally, the war game will last for three days. At the end, whoever possesses the highest total value of [supplies] will win."

This was El's idea, and after thinking about it, Ishtar accepted it.

to be frank.

It is a relatively complex model.

Because apart from a one-on-one direct duel.

Whether it is the "siege battle" with the goal of defeating the opponent's main general;

Or is it a "battle of gods" where both sides target the little red flowers worn by the other god?

None of them are as complicated as the current war game.

From the beginning to the end.

Artemis, who was listening in on the whole thing, didn't understand a thing at all.

The boy didn't explain.

Just say something like "You'll understand once it starts."

!!!

Do you have your own business?!

Of course, as the goddess who initiated the war games, Artemis naturally had to participate as a "god".

Not only that.

El himself, as well as Anya and the others who were also bar waitresses, would also participate as non-combatants.

After the meeting with Goddess Ishtar.

El and Artemis returned to the mansion where everyone was staying and announced this.

Although everyone was surprised by this.

but……

……

Early the next morning.

Everyone went out to sea on a ship, and together with the Ishtar family, they came to an uninhabited archipelago floating in the ocean.

There are few people here.

Because the port city of Melun has not developed any tourism industry, and there are too many monsters in the sea.

Fishing boats and merchant ships rarely come to such deep seas, but instead sail along the coastal routes, making this place unexpectedly quiet.

This is the "best battlefield" that Al found yesterday after searching for a long time on the sea using a drone.

Both ships were anchored outside the island.

Everyone got on a small boat and rowed towards two different islands.

There are many people from the Ishtar clan.

It was a huge group, estimated to have dozens or even hundreds of people, including Haruhime - El was also thinking of having the fox girl upgrade the levels of the adventurers of Ishtar's family to provide experience for Ryu.

Of course, let her go back.

On the other hand.

There are fewer people on Al's side.

There was only one small boat that could fit me, Artemis, Liu, Anya, Lunova, and Chloe.

Besides, besides Liu.

The others are all non-combatants who can only collect and hide [supplies].

"The difference in numbers is huge, meow! But it doesn't matter. It doesn't matter how many small fry come, meow. The important thing is..."

Of all people.

The one who was most immersed in the play was Anya, the noisy cat girl.

Maybe for her, as long as she is not working, then anything is fun...

……

On the other side of the ship.

Demeter looked at Al and the others' backs as they walked away with some worry.

As a beautiful woman who is a god, she has no idea why they suddenly started a battle game with the Ishtar clan.

but.

Demeter fully supports the child's decision.

It's natural to be worried.

And no matter what, the way of playing the war game that Al and the others decided on, theoretically speaking, the side with more people has the advantage, right?

The final victory condition.

After three days, the side with the highest value of [supplies] owned by both sides will win.

Then.

The larger the number of clan members, the more [supplies] they can collect on these scattered islands.

Moreover, clans with many combatants can also conduct a carpet search for El and his group, these non-combatants who are hiding, and steal their supplies.

On the other hand, on his side, Liu was the only combatant.

No matter how powerful.

Not to mention that two fists cannot beat four hands, the question is, is there enough time to collect so many [supplies]?

Ais, Riveria and the others who stayed with Demeter.

Of course I thought of these.

and so……

"Elta, did he intentionally come up with a war game rule that would give Goddess Ishtar an absolute advantage?"

But why?

Is he deliberately letting the other party go?

still is……

You can't play if you are not at a disadvantage?

102

Chapter 102: Too bold!

Under the scorching sun, the beach on the deserted island looked a little messy.

El and his group arrived at the coast by boat.

Each of them carried a backpack.

It contains basic drinking water and food, each with a small label indicating its "value".

such as.

A bottle of water is 100 faris.

An apple costs 200 faris.

A bag of jerky costs 500 faris...

And so on.

The value it represents is, of course, just something Al arbitrarily sets. It is not the real price, but is only used for this war game.

Another important point is.

The final value of the collected [supplies] will only be calculated when they are in the backpack.

Of course, you can also snatch other people's backpacks.

"The war game will last for three days. The food and water we brought with us are definitely not enough for three days, so everyone must collect them on the island."

On the way here.

The girls have been discussing their "battle plan" for a long time.

"In addition to this small island, there are also supplies on other islands. Therefore, we must protect this ship, otherwise it will be difficult to go to other islands."

"And meow! Ryu is the only combatant. If he's defeated and eliminated, then we'll be the loser, meow!!"

"The situation is very unfavorable, meow..."

"That's why Ishtar agreed to the war game so readily."

Artemis had figured it out by now.

Although this rule called [Island Survival Battle] was proposed by El.

But on the surface, not only is the situation unfair to both sides, but the other side has a huge advantage.

Indeed it is.

"Don't worry, just treat it like a game."

Al clapped his hands and spoke softly.

"As long as Liu doesn't lose, we won't lose."
