Chapter 817 Ransom, Silencing, and Interception Operation
"Ah, you Kali clan, you actually deceived me with lies?"
The captured military genius looked grief-stricken.
"Hahaha, who told you, Ares, not to use your Divine Eye to verify the truthfulness of what my clan's child said beforehand?"
Kali stood to the side, hands on her hips, laughing. Before joining Orario, she hadn't thought there was anything fun about it. But after joining Orario, it opened up a multiplayer gaming experience for this god who had always played single-player games in Tyr Scylla.
This time, her child suddenly betrayed her during the war game and stole the show in front of the gods, making Kali very happy.
"Damn it, if you have to use your divine eye to see through lies in a game about managing a nation's clan and playing war games, what's the fun in that?"
Ares, still bound by ropes, plopped down on the ground and began to defend himself for not using his divine eye.
These deities in the lower realms all have their own bottom lines when they travel around. For example, their divine eyes can easily distinguish whether mortals are lying.
However, for Ares, if he directly uses his divine eye to discern lies, the game in the lower realm would lose its strategic element.
Therefore, this deity will not easily use the Divine Eye, whether in war games or in daily governance of the country.
"If we lose this time, so be it. I will make the King of Lachia pay the corresponding ransom. I hope you will not kill my kingdom's soldiers."
Ares, the God of War, stopped complaining and became a qualified prisoner. Since the Kingdom of Lachia lost this time in the war game and did not even take any actual action to attack Orario, theoretically, this group of people are now Broly's prisoners.
"We can forgo the ransom, but we need Ares's national clan to help us with something."
Hestia, leading Broly, approached Ares, who was lying on the ground, and spoke to him.
"What's up?"
Ares, the God of War, looked at Hestia with curiosity, but his gaze was mostly fixed on Broly behind her.
The young man was tall and strong, with extraordinary strength. What a fine warrior he was! Heaven knows why he ended up following Hestia, a reclusive god.
"It's very simple. You know about heretics, right? I hope your kingdom can be like Orario, enacting corresponding laws to guarantee the rights of heretics as intelligent beings, and bringing this understanding to the sphere of influence of the Kingdom of Lachia as much as possible."
The Lachia Kingdom's involvement in the war was unexpected, but their defeat was significant. Rather than demanding so-called ransom from the Lachia Kingdom, it would be better to have these people also accept and embrace the heretical doctrines and extend their influence to other parts of the world.
In this way, perhaps in the future, heretics will be able to travel freely to other parts of the earth with their identification documents.
"That's not a problem."
Ares and Urius exchanged a glance and nodded in agreement. The ransom for this defeat was an astronomical figure. Now, it was simply a matter of getting their country to acknowledge the existence of intelligent monsters and to enact laws to provide corresponding protection.
"But speaking of which, Hestia, where did you find this kid? He's so fierce!"
Although the defeat was partly due to the sudden betrayal by the Kali Familia, Ares could tell that the boy behind the Loli Goddess had not yet used his full strength. It was possible that even if the Kali Familia had not betrayed them, the other side could have dealt with his artillery unit. This made him unable to help but ask.
"Hehehe, this wasn't something I sought out; the child came to me of her own accord. It's a fateful encounter!"
Upon hearing this, Hestia raised his chin and said with a hint of smugness.
"Let's make a deal. Are you willing to transfer your child to me? If he comes to me, I'll give him the position of Grand Marshal of the Kingdom of Guinea."
"Ha, get lost. My child is not to be transferred to other families."
"Everything can be discussed. Your child's nickname is 'Extremely Lustful Tyrant,' right? How about this: if he doesn't become the marshal, I'll make the old king of the Kingdom of Lachia abdicate and give him the throne, so your child can be a true monarch—oh dear~"
Before Ares could finish speaking, Hestia kicked him with the sole of her flip-flop, leaving a solid shoe print on the face of this war god.
"Then the conditions for letting you go are as stated. You can't fool us. If you do, I will personally visit the capital of your Kingdom of Lachia."
"Mr. Broly, please rest assured, as Prince Ulius of the Kingdom of Lachia, I guarantee that this matter will be carried out diligently."
After Broly finished speaking with Ulius, Hestia had already given Ares, the god of war, a good beating.
The two walked over, and Urius, seeing his own god lying on the ground with a bruised and swollen face, smiled warmly and waved goodbye to the Saiyan boy who was carrying the still somewhat angry loli goddess.
If he weren't one of Ares's men, he would have applauded and cheered. What a mess! His family had served Lord Ares diligently for generations, managing the country and waging wars, and yet they were almost stripped of their throne by their unreliable god. To be honest, he would have wanted to kick them a few times.

The war game is over, and the controversy surrounding the heretics in Orario has finally come to a conclusion.
The trouble with the heretics has passed, but other troubles have not.
The Ganesha Familia and the guild finally had the time to focus their main efforts on dealing with the Firestone.
"No, Orario can't stay. I have to escape."
Simon, the president of the business alliance, noticed something amiss the day after the war game ended when he saw many unfamiliar people watching him outside his manor.
Fortunately, he knew that he was going against the guild and that things might go wrong, so he had already dug a secret passage under the manor, just in case it might be used someday.
It's a pity that he couldn't take Orario's vast assets with him, but he can't care about those assets now.
If they don't leave now, they'll be waiting for evidence to be found and they'll be thoroughly wiped out by the guild, along with their businesses.
"Pack some valuables, we're leaving tonight."
Simon decided to leave, but only notified a small number of his family members, including the old butler and some loyal servants and guards, a total of 16 people. He packed only some portable treasures and rare potions and left Orario through a secret passage that very night.
Outside the city, several cars painted black were already waiting.
"Lord Dionysus, thank you for your help."
Simon boarded the middle carriage and bowed to thank the blond man.
He was also the only one in the business alliance who knew Enio's true identity.
"Don't say that, Mr. Simon. You've ended up in this situation because of me. I'm the one who should be apologizing to you."
Dionysus gave a gentle smile and replied that their relationship was actually mutually beneficial. The Merchant Alliance handled the magic stones and monster materials for the Dark Faction, while he secretly pushed forward the plan to overthrow the guild.
Of course, this was just the surface plan; the real plan was to destroy Orario, but he never revealed it to the other side.
As for why the merchant alliance represented by Simon wanted to overthrow the guild, it was naturally for the pricing power of magic stones. In Orario, the guild monopolized the buying and selling of magic stones. Adventurers could keep the magic stones for their own use or sell them to other clans after they obtained them, but they were not allowed to sell them to buyers.
Adventurers' magic stones can only be sold to guilds, which then connect with buyers. Because this is a monopolistic business, buyers have no way to bargain with guilds.
Merchants who pursue profits have long been dissatisfied with this, and even the dark wave that was stirred up by the great protests seven years ago was not uncommon behind these profit-seeking merchants.
However, although this is a mutually beneficial arrangement and no one has wronged anyone, it shouldn't be said so bluntly. After all, Dionysus wants these people to go further away.
"I cannot personally take care of your property and business, but I can secretly look after your family members who remain in Orario."
When the opportunity arises to change the landscape of Orario, bring down the guild, and allow Guild Master Simon to return, I promise you a place in Orario.
As for now, we would like to trouble President Simon to go to the Far East to help us overthrow the guild's cause and continue to do our best.
"Yes, on the ship you were leaving on, I have prepared some treasures for you to use in your new endeavors."
"Lord Dionysus, please rest assured, I will continue to do my best for you."
Several carriages traveled towards the harbor of Mellen under the cover of night.
In the middle of the night, they arrived at a secret port.
A ship was already waiting in the secret port.
Simon made his assurances, while Dionysus watched the group sail away under the moonlight.

"Father, are we really leaving like this?"
The ship left the port, and Simon finally felt relieved. However, his son came over, still somewhat unwilling to give up.
"What can we do? We were careless in our actions. The manager of the delivery truck was caught. It was only a matter of time before we were exposed."
If we don't leave now, we won't be able to leave later. Fortunately, Lord Enio still remembers our past kindness. He not only sent people to help us escape Orario, but also gave us so much treasure, allowing us to go to a new place and start over.
As Simon spoke, his gaze fell upon the cargo containers on the ship.
However, when he ordered the crate to be opened, what appeared inside was not gold or silver jewelry.
"Father, these aren't treasures, they're barrels of kerosene."
"Wait, why is there oil on the ship? Oh no, that Dionysus guy—"
Before he could finish speaking, the old chairman's head rolled off.
Ye En fell silently from the gun barrel, and with a single sword stroke, he beheaded the old chairman.
"master----"
"Father----"
The guards reacted, but it was too late. Faced with a level 7 assassin, these guards, whose highest level was only level 4, were no match for them.
The screams rang out, but subsided after a short while.
Under the moonlight, the ships sailing on the dark sea soon burst into fierce flames.
The flames, however, burned away all the evidence of the murders that had taken place on the ship.
Only the dead can keep a secret.
Although Dionysus could not see the fire burning far from the harbor, he knew from the sudden pallor of the elf beside him that his child's evil magical clone had already dealt with Simon and his group who knew his identity.
000.
The next day at noon, news of Simon's escape was received by Shakti, spread by a member of the family who had infiltrated the manor as a spy.
The secret passage hidden in the manor was discovered by the city's military police at dusk through a thorough search.
However, when Shakti left Orario through the secret passage and arrived in the wilderness, he realized from the carriage tracks on the ground that the other party was going to take a boat to escape by sea. At that time, news came from the port of Melon that fishermen had found the wreckage of a ship that was almost completely burned out on the sea more than ten nautical miles from the coastline.
"Now, apart from knowing that behind the dark faction there is a city-destroying god who calls himself 'Enio,' all other clues have gone cold."
"Miss Shakti, the Ikeros Familia is cooperating with the remnants of the Dark Faction. Doesn't their chief deity know the true identity of that reclusive god?"
"He must know, but since the god Ikelos won't tell us, there's nothing we can do."
The reason is that there is a rule in the mortal realm that mortals cannot harm the gods.
Just as the gods wouldn't easily use their powers to harm us mortals.
The guild can only expel the erring god from Orario, but it cannot force a god who is determined to resist to do something he does not want to do.
. . . .
After forcing the other party to admit that the intelligence had not been obtained by killing their children, the guild had no good way to deal with the god Ikelos.
"But Miss Shakti, didn't Mr. Broly punch Lord Ishtar earlier?"
The fox-girl found it strange and asked directly.
"You mean that? That's because Lady Ishtar used her power as the goddess of beauty to bewitch Mr. Broly first, and since they were in the War Game, she deserved to be beaten—"
"In other words, under certain conditions, mortals can also attack gods in the mortal realm, right?"
Broly asked thoughtfully.
"Yes, but it's meaningless. The conditions for taking action are too harsh, almost requiring the consent of the gods themselves."
Without the ability to use divine power, which god would willingly endure being beaten by mortals?
Of course, this excludes certain gods with masochistic tendencies; if they attack mortals, they deserve to be beaten up.
"But God can attack God, can't he?"
"Lord Ganesha, can't we give Lord Icarus a good beating?"
"Is it possible that my parents have already beaten him up, but the god Ikelos is just too ungrateful?"
For a god, death is merely a matter of taking a nap, and without caring about being sent back to heaven, he is indeed an "invincible" god.
"Miss Shakti, you came all this way specifically to see me?"
Broly looked at Adi's sister and asked.
"To give you an update on the current state of the case, and by the way, to ask if you'd like to join us in investigating the man-made labyrinth of Knossos—"
Although Enio's trail has gone cold, the trail to the man-made labyrinth remains unbroken, and it's rumored that a large group of Orario outlaws are hiding inside.
It would be difficult for the Ganesha Spring Clan to clear out that place full of traps on their own, so Shakti has been looking for help recently.
"Speaking of which, let's have the Wings of Justice help with the task of eliminating these villains."
Before Broly could reply, the girl with the red flower rushed over and said.
"Of course, the reward for eliminating the villains should be quite generous, right?"
After being resurrected, Alexie and the others learned that they owed Broly at least 50 billion Faris for his resurrection. They then began to discuss how to make money.
Now that there's work to be done, they're naturally eager to take it on, and their previous strength was that of adventurers who were almost at Lv.5.
"Yes, the compensation will be substantial."
Shakti nodded, but his gaze was fixed on the Saiyan boy.
She admitted that Alexandra and the others were quite strong, but the problem was that they had an even stronger ally.
"Mr. Broly, you wouldn't be thinking of making us unable to earn money and pay our debts, so that we'll end up having to repay with our bodies and become your concubines, would you?"
Broly: "————"
"Miss Shakti, I think I might have been injured in the war game and need to rest for a while."
Having said all that, Broly naturally couldn't possibly compete with a group of righteous girls for the job.
"Yay!"
Alexie flashed a peace sign at her friends.
"As expected of Alexie, she snatched a good commission so quickly."
"Actually, I think it would be quite nice to be Mr. Broly's concubine and to be sisters with Ryu or something."
"Ha, you little slut, thinking about Ryu's man again?"
Astraea stood by helplessly. Although Alyssa and the others were girls full of a sense of justice, justice and purity were two different things.
Sometimes, these righteous girls would make lewd jokes, and even she, the supreme deity, couldn't stand it.
Especially after learning that this boy Broly dared to date the goddess, and more than one of them, these guys even dared to say things like asking Ryu to let her man have sex with the goddess.
