July Progress Report
🕑 Added 2025-07-31 07:00:04 +0000 UTCThe current progress is that the voice acting is nearly complete. Once I receive the files from the last two voice actors, I will move on to the final video compositing stage.
This time, the story integrates parts of Alicia and Vult. The relationships among Beardslye, Alicia, and Vult have basically been made clear. The content is very rich. After the video compositing is finished, the next steps will be adding subtitles and publishing the video.
Subtitles will still be available in English, Chinese, and French. I've noticed that fans have translated my videos into Spanish and Portuguese on many platforms. If more supporters from other language backgrounds emerge in the future, I might consider adding more subtitle languages on the official website.
Previously in the Story :
The story roughly tells how Vult and his group of mercenaries, after betraying the Seven Shields Alliance, seized the Black Castle. Using the castle as a base, they rallied orcs and other demonic forces to launch a campaign of revenge against the Church, led by Celestine Lucross.
Vult believes that the reason the Church sent the Kuroinu mercenary corps instead of mobilizing its own army to attack the Black Castle from the start was because they saw the mercenaries as expendable pawns. Even if the Kuroinu mercenaries were to return victorious, the Church would surely find a way to eliminate them. They couldn't allow a ragtag band to gain too much fame.
The Church would then claim the fruits of victory for itself, making the people more devoted to the Church and further idolize Celestine Lucross. In their narrative, it must be the goddess’s divine power through Celestine that defeated the darkness — not a group of mercenaries with no noble blood, no divine blessing, defeating demons.
After Vult and the orc army defeated Olga, he decisively cut all ties with the Seven Shields Alliance. He then used Olga Discordia and Chloe Pil to reward the orc troops and Kuroinu mercenaries who had betrayed Olga before the battle.
This act exposed Olga’s vulnerability to the other demons, and Vult took the opportunity to host various "servitude rituals" within the Black Castle — allowing the other demons to subject Olga to certain "special activities." As a result, the demons became convinced that betraying Olga and following Vult was the right decision.
After successfully unifying the demon legions, Vult believed the time had come and issued a provocative “Surrender Proposal in Service to the Nation” to the Seven Shields Alliance. The message quickly spread across these nations and resonated deeply with the lower-class male population, who were already discontent due to the lack of social mobility.
Even some state officials began to betray the Alliance, driven by hidden frustrations or desires. This was rooted in a fundamental structural issue of these nations — their governments and ruling classes were composed entirely of women, including the leadership of the Seven Shields itself.
Vult keenly recognized this imbalance — and used it to his advantage.
Although the betrayal of key officials and ministers in these nations made Vult’s military campaign progress smoothly, internal tensions within Kuroinu remained high. Without the continued support of these loosely assembled mercenary bands — men driven by greed and desire — mutiny could break out at any moment.
These soldiers had no sense of honor, nor any true belief. But Vult knew exactly how to make them follow him with unwavering loyalty: by satisfying their most basic urges — wealth and lust.
These desires perfectly aligned with Vult’s own objective: to strike back and reclaim the seven fortresses. So, for now, Vult would continue to exploit these mercenaries to further his ultimate goal.
he relationships between Alicia, Beardslye, and Vult will be fully revealed in this chapter. You'll see how the three hold different positions and pursue different goals, leading to a battle of both minds and bodies.
Vult
Vult is a man skilled at exploiting the weaknesses of human nature. He thrives on inciting hatred, drawing in those he deems useful — and using them to his advantage.
Alicia:
Behind her resilient nature lies the heart of a true guardian. The person she cares about most is her cousin, Prim. She is driven by a deep desire to protect her loved ones and her people. Even as she faces constant corruption, she continues to uphold a strong sense of justice.
Beardslye:
HHaving suffered psychological trauma in youth, he developed an obsessive fascination with blonde women. Rising from a poor boy step by step, he eventually became the nation’s prime minister. However, he is often despised and oppressed by female nobles who value pure bloodlines, fueling his deep resentment.
He harbors an obsessive affection for Alicia and hopes to heal his deepest emotional wounds by gaining her true love.
This will be a grand and magnificent film. A final version of the trailer will be released a few days before the video premiere.
