Drifters

So what if you brought them over? So what if you have Drifters?

No matter how many of those idiots you transport here...

"Black King Occupies Northern Fortress"

...they won't stand a chance against my Ends.

"Black King Occupies Northern Fortress"

Don't you know I'll be the victor? Don't waste your time fighting.

Why don't you just meekly admit your defeat?!

Murasaki.

"Closed"

Murasaki!

"Act 4 Active Heart"

Those who, like yourselves, are transported from other worlds...

...are called "Drifters."

And, those who, like Drifters, are brought to this world,

but are inhuman and evil...

...are called the "Ends."

Our goals as the Octobrists are to evaluate, monitor,

and unite those Drifters to stand against the Ends.

Errr... can you untie me?

No way. I have no clue what you're talking about.

Olminu from the Octobrist Organization, you totally misjudged me.

I am the powerful Demon King of the Sixth Heaven. Good... Evil...

Who dares judge what I am?!

I should be the absolute evil!

"Mutter mutter mutter"

Are you still doing that?

Aren't you embarrassed?

Not at all.

I see. As might be expected from a former hipster, you're thick-skinned.

Then, which one are we supposed to be?

I don't think you are of the Ends.

Why?

Those who are transported as the Ends are inhuman...

...and don't understand such jokes.

They nourish a deep, deep loathing towards this world.

I don't know what happened to them while they were in your world.

But they detest everything...

...which drives their ambition for the annihilation of mankind.

They only have one objective in mind, which is...

...the eradication and slaughter of all mankind.

They gathered in the north, pacified the monsters in order to ally with them,

and began advancing into our land.

If we let them continue, the world will be destroyed.

That's why I'm asking you Drifters for help!

What about your troops?

Eh?

I don't give a damn about monsters or those sorts of things,

but the enemy was an organized force, right?

So, what do the Octobrists have to stand against them?

Th-That is... umm... We are a magician organization.

Our mission is to bring Drifters together--

So you have nothing, huh?!

Umm... We call for military support from kings and feudal lords,

and assigning Drifters to command of these troops is our...

Stupid, stupid, stupid.

Fiefs clearly work the same way in every world.

A feudal lord wields military power. That is how feudalism works.

No lord would ever willingly cede command to some random outsider, stupid!

Regardless of how powerful those so-called Ends are,

a feudal lord will never hand over his military authority to them.

Even if these "apocalyptic forces" are marching into his last stronghold,

and they drive him into a corner,

he will persevere until the time of his honorable suicide, stupid.

This is what an overlord is.

You can theorize as much as you want,

but in the end, things are as they are...

This is why Mohism was destroyed during the Warring States Era in China.

This man... Is this the true Oda Nobunaga?

Is he just a fool, or is he the Demon King?

Th-Then, what should we do?!

Only Drifters can defeat them! What are you suggesting?!

Is it not obvious?

The Drifters should take control of the state.

I hereby declare that we're

beginning a campaign of conquest with Toyohisa as our leader.

Huh?

And you people will support us.

Aid our plot to take down the empire

for the sake of your world's peace and happiness.

Wait a minute!

How am I the leader?! You've never told me that.

Eh? Don't you remember you sat in the center the other day?

I was going to sit down, but I'll let you take my seat.

What the hell does that mean?!

That's what I thought.

You can be truly dense, kid.

Grrr, shut up! Just do as I say!

Gr-Grand Master, this is insane.

Those guys are behaving completely erratically.

However, their idea has a certain appeal.

We were attacked by the Ends several times in the past.

Each time, they decimated our land.

However, this time is different.

Ill-conceived measures won't work. We'll be totally destroyed...

...by that Black King!

Black Majesty, we completely demolished the Northern Wall in Carneades.

What about our losses, Rasputin?

The number of casualties is 274 in Goblin special forces,

345 in Kobold advanced guard...

...plus four Dragner aerial cavalry.

The damage was not serious,

but losing four Dragners was a heavy blow.

Bring me those who were injured.

Will you truly act, Black Majesty?

Of course.

Goblins, Kobolds, and Dragons are all my brethren.

I will save as many as I can.

You are merciful, Black Majesty.

Ouch... Ouch...

I'm grateful.

Well done. You fought hard.

Next.

Inform everybody of the fall of the "Northern Wall."

Then, those who feared humans

and didn't believe the human world would come to an end

will fill our ranks.

I was going to save humans,

but they rejected me.

Therefore, I have no choice but to save demihumans and destroy humans.

That is terrifying, Black Majesty.

Go after the escaped Drifters.

Search... Search...

Find out where those magicians dropped them off...

...and where they will be sent.

Don't let them unite.

No enemy but the Drifters exists before us.

Leave no stone unturned.

Find them. Chase them. Kill them.

Let me see... What am I going to do?

I'll side with the one that interests me more.

I am inexorable...

The Inexorable Tribulation who wanders and bellows.

The eradication of mankind won't be over until...

...the annihilation of every single human is complete,

and the salvation of every single demihuman is at hand.

Stand together!

Don't die on me, you piece of shit!

Pull up... you fuckin' jackass!

Damn, this hurts!

Who the hell are you?! You wanna try me, bastards?!

What should we do next?

It's too late to talk about that.

We killed the lord's knight. There is no turning back.

But those Drifters...!

The lord is not going to listen to such excuses, is he?!

Also, more than half of the wheat field was burned down.

There's not enough left to pay the tax to the lord.

Even if the lord forgives us, he will confiscate the whole harvest.

We will be unable to feed the village!

We have no choice but to rebel.

The punitive forces are approaching the village as we speak!

If we don't act now, we'll end up being

killed or dying from hunger, guaranteed!

That's right. We can't take this any longer.

We have no choice but to overthrow the lord.

Don't be foolish! We don't stand a chance!

Yea, do, yea, do.

Yea, do. Yea, do. You...

win chance, yea, yea, do. You rebel. That so awesome!

We Nobu Nobu, Yoicchii, Toyo Toyo,

-Hey! What the...?!

-all have power power.

Damn. They have no idea what he's talking about.

Hey!

"Mutter mutter mutter"

You, wait!

Oh, no! Here he goes!

How can you speak our language?!

Umm... We are a magician organization.

All this time, we've been investigating you...

Grand Master created this convenient charm.

Applying it grants you instant fluency.

Isn't our Grand Master great?

If I'd known such a convenient thing existed...

Hey, you! Do you know how hard it was for Yoichi to learn their language?!

How should I know that?!

Apologize to Yoichi. Apologize!

Wh-Why should I?

Just apologize to him. Don't you feel sympathy for him?!
