Genius Engineer in the Labyrinth - Chapter 394
Only Noblemtl
Dragon Cult (4)
In the commander’s office at the air base, a large shadow sat in front of the mahogany desk. As he smiled and shook his upper body, the figure of a lycan with a warship’s head and a slender body was reflected in the lamplight.
The squadron leader smiled again, looking at the small screen on his desk.
“Hahaha. How many anti-aircraft weapons do you think our bastards have? Our sphere of influence is also overwhelmingly large.”
[···.]
“Even if they struggle, they are in our grasp. Those who try to hold on to the situation when it is too late are leaking confidential information like today. There is absolutely no need to worry···.”
Kwaaang!
A loud noise and vibration shook the desk, and the screen that had been showing some form disappeared. The general jumped up and pressed his face against the window, and the door burst open and an adjutant came in.
“What’s going on?”
“It’s a betrayal!”
“What, betrayal! Who?!”
“There are at least three pilots!”
A situation where a fighter jet that had been dispatched turns its head and bombs the base. Naturally, betrayal came to mind first.
“Those dirty traitors have already reached out. How did you persuade them?”
It’s not something a general who quickly changed sides as soon as the South Pole Star was declared should say, but people’s perspectives are always subjective. They may be endlessly generous to themselves, but they are extremely strict to others.
“What about the air defense network?”
“At first they responded well, but now they are attacking our own forces.”
“Hacking? How?”
Another blast shattered the glass completely. Orange light hit the palm of the General’s hand as he covered his face.
The dropped bombs sent up red and yellow flames high into the air, and the ground-shaking vibrations spread in all directions. The base, where quiet darkness had descended, was instantly transformed into chaos.
Even in situations where confusion was added to confusion, there were soldiers who kept their wits about them.
A dwarf sergeant led his men up to the anti-aircraft turret. He tore off the control panel and switched it to manual operation.
“Okay, okay···.”
The dwarf leaned against his reinforced exoskeleton and squeezed his damp beard hard. Sweat poured down his body.
“You son of a bitch. If you can hack this, try hacking it.”
“Chief, was hacking this easy?”
The veteran soldier who had been guarding the surroundings asked a question. The dwarf opened his eyes sharply as if asking what the hell he was talking about.
“If the military’s security magic was automatic doors, then it’s a playground for hackers and wizards? Anyway, he’s a good guy.”
“I know. I know, but the base uses an independent network.”
“If you know, put your gun up. There must be someone who infiltrated the base.”
The soldiers carried mana guns, and the captain carried a minigun modified for the dwarves. The Gatling gun barrels reflected the flames burning the runway.
The dwarf left two soldiers in the anti-aircraft turret and moved to the next turret.
Boom!
Another hangar was on fire. The anti-aircraft turrets regained control and fired skyward. Blue flashes of light lit up the night sky like fireworks.
A soldier collapsed. His tearful expression told us that he was at his limit.
It’s really hard to be sane in a place like this, where destruction abounds and death is just a touch away.
“wake up!”
“Black···.”
“Crying? Come on!”
The soldiers stood him up strongly. Even those who were urging him looked as if they were about to die.
The dwarf captain exhaled deeply, his beard quivering, and stroked his exoskeleton. A magic that gave courage washed over the soldiers.
“I’m going again.”
“All right.”
The soldiers, who had regained their strength thanks to the magic, pursued the dwarfs diligently. The captain, who had reached the next turret, kicked the control panel with the power of his reinforced exoskeleton.
Thud! Ignoring the panel that fell with a thud, I fiddled with the cables inside. The turret that had been betraying its allies and attacking the barracks had stopped operating.
The dwarf pointed inside.
“Look at this. Can you see the puncture mark?”
“It was pierced cleanly. It’s not a soft object···.”
The soldiers who heard the voice of the veteran became more vigilant. Thanks to this, one soldier noticed something strange.
“Hey, over there!”
Soldiers are given MagicWear treatment as standard. So when one observes, the information is immediately shared. Everyone’s guns move at the same time.
The small object the soldier had found was an automaton that resembled a spider. It was stuck to the turret and jumped down towards the dwarf captain.
A blue flash passed over the spider. The spider’s body spun around at the veteran’s accurate shot.
The dwarf captain took a deep breath and raised his minigun.
Wow!
The gun spun around and around and spewed out a hail of bullets. Unlike Managun, it was accompanied by physical force, so the spider, which was as small as a palm, flew far away and exploded.
“How many rounds can that fucking machine hold?”
“Have you seen my shooting accuracy?”
“Shut up and just kill me.”
The soldiers fired several more shots at the wreckage, while the squad leader manipulated a cable attached to the inside of the control panel.
When the body is tilted significantly inward.
“Class president!”
The cause of the veteran’s screams was revealed in the dwarf’s brain expansion device. A thing that looked exactly like the automaton he had killed earlier jumped down on his back.
The captain saw the spider climbing his back, not with his own eyes, but with the soldier’s shared vision. With his upper body tucked in, he was unable to resist until it inserted a cable into the port at the back of his neck.
The dwarf’s mind was alive. But that was all. His body moved on its own. The only consolation was that each soldier had a spider attached to his neck.
‘I don’t plan on killing you right away… At least a bomb won’t fall on your head.’
The biggest threat, which would turn the base into a sea of fire, had been averted. Judging by the stillness of the skies, the situation up above seemed to have been somewhat resolved.
In this situation, the most dangerous being was my own army. As soon as that thought occurred to me, my eyes met with those of the group emerging from the smoke.
The gun was pointed forward. The dwarf captain wanted to yell at them to stop, but his body refused to listen. Now, there would be silent screams.
The fratricide was so horrible that I wanted to close my eyes tightly if possible. But there was no gun flash or bullets fired.
The dwarf captain noticed spiders attached to their necks as well. Only then did he feel a little better.
Nicola blurted out as she watched the video Alan shared.
“You saved my life. I thought you’d just give me a clean bang on the head!”
“Unnecessary killing is not good.”
Nicola glanced at the burning runway, then back at Alan. She looked at the torn-up barracks, then back at Alan.
“Anyone can see that this is a scene of mass slaughter.”
“Despite its appearance, the number of deaths is small.”
The battle was slowly coming to an end. The air force base could not withstand the amount of automatons that Allen and the box were pouring out. The buffalo did not even participate in the battle.
Those who smelled like Soldos soldiers, whom Captain Philos claimed were his subordinates, looked at Alan silently. Taylor sensed the situation and stepped forward.
“You little shits. Don’t you dare roll your eyes? You keep looking at me in a bad way. If you do it one more time, I’ll kill you.”
The eye area of the dragon helmet emitted a bright red light. The murderous intent that had been honed over decades as a monster in the labyrinth possessed something that was difficult to express in simple momentum.
The soldiers turned their heads as if nothing had happened. However, their bodies felt the pressure and became stiff, and every movement was awkward.
Philos, who was one step away from life, said.
“Are you, by any chance, a maze explorer?”
“then?”
“I’m glad I got a war mercenary at a reasonable price.”
Philos’ shoulders dropped slightly, but he maintained his usual tone.
“There is a podium.”
“I am a soldier. I will become a general like my grandfather and father. But where did one of them go?”
“Who are you talking about?”
“Gray hair···.”
Kuuung!
Before Philos could finish speaking, a building slid down. The obliquely cut upper part crashed into the ground. The smoke that had been rising in a puff was cut sharply and scattered in all directions.
“They’re fighting over there. I thought the captain was just a guy with a lot of oil on his plate, but he’s actually pretty good.”
“The commander of the air base is at depth 5. He is a very dangerous opponent.”
“so?”
Taylor blurted out and followed Alan, who had moved away. Philos and the soldiers followed him and entered the air force base.
What they saw was soldiers lined up on one side and two fighting in the middle of the runway.
Philos was about to draw his weapon when he saw the soldier, but was stopped. Shiva grabbed his hand and said:
“Look carefully.”
“spider?”
“This is Brother Allen’s work. I told him that the soldiers were only following orders, and he subdued them. It is Brother Philos’ job to persuade them.”
However, Shiva’s voice was not heard properly by Philos’ ears. The battle between Zion and the squadron commander was too intense.
As the white sword was drawn, deep lines were drawn on the runway, and objects on the path were cut like tofu. Buildings were included.
The proud beak that the squadron leader had been proud of was cut off, and his strong muscles were oozing blood. He turned around. And he began to run towards Philos.
“uh?”
The moment Philos let out a dumbfounded voice, the squadron leader arrived right in front of him. The distance of a hundred meters was erased in an instant. Depth 5 was that terrifying.
Then Shiva stepped forward. He kicked the squadron leader in the knee as he tried to pass by, making fun of the dwarf. He staggered and knelt down, and only then did their eye level become similar.
“this···.”
Shiva elbowed the squadron leader who was about to shout something.
Kwajik!
The squadron commander’s body was half-lying on the ground, lying on his side. The area of his face where he had been hit by the elbow was sunken.
Shiva, who looked like a bandit but had eyes that resembled a deer, looked at Philos.
“It’s over.”
Of course, to Philos, they looked like carnivorous deer. He just turned his eyes without saying a word, and looked at the most dangerous one among them.
He was walking on the runway. Strangely enough, as he passed by, the damaged runway was restored to its original state. It was as if time had been reversed.
Alan finished organizing [Molecular Assembly] and sat down in the front seat of the fighter. Then he called Taylor.
“I’ll be back in a bit.”
“Okay. Drive safely.”
“I want to go too!”
Zion quickly sat down in the back seat of the fighter jet, then saw the little boy being held in Alan’s arms.
“You’ve grown too big, so it’s cramped for you. Do you want to change seats?”
Bam!
The little boy snorted and turned his head away as if it wasn’t worth listening to.
“Junior, is it hard to control the kid? He can’t even reach you.”
“are you okay.”
“···.”
My hands were blocked from holding the little one who had grown as big as a large dog, but I could control it with my head. Seven fighter planes loaded with weapons took to the sky.
“You flew well. No need to worry, right?”
“···.”
*
The target of the Magic Engineering Infantry Division was the Armored Division. In terms of sheer numbers, the Infantry Division was overwhelmingly superior, but when you add in firepower, the confrontation structure becomes strange.
But since we had to get past them to advance, we tried to subdue them even at the cost of losses.
Kwaaang!
General Parma looked at the flames rising on the battlefield. He had said he would conceal information as much as possible, but the operation was quickly exposed.
“I’ve been caught. The traitor···”
“I’ve already calculated it. Let’s proceed.”
The order was given by General Parma, an elf who appeared to be middle-aged.
I couldn’t let the country be taken away like this. I admit that I wanted to maintain power.
But the biggest reason is that I know what happens to a people who lose their country. Just look at Lanka near Tilly and you will see the answer. The entire people are like slaves to Soldos.
“That kind of future is something I, no, something we, together, will prevent.”
General Parma put his helmet back on. He was a general and should not be on the front lines, but there were endless ways to command on the field.
In the blink of an eye, the scenery changed. General Parma took part in the battlefield using the body of an automaton.
There were flames and screams. The limbs of the friendly forces were rolling around without any rest. The general encouraged them that they could still do it and advanced.
Wedge!
I heard the grim reaper’s voice splitting the night sky. I raised my head and looked up at the sky.
‘Did Philos fail…?’
Philos’ mission was to destroy the fighter planes. But the fighter planes arrived.
If that’s the case, then the son is dead. Unfortunately, the prisoner was also dead. He couldn’t back down anymore.
Kwarrung!
The General, who had braced himself, saw an unbelievable sight. The fighters he had judged to be enemies were delivering a gift of death to the armored division.
‘how?’
Parma thought about the mercenary his son had recently signed on with, then turned his thoughts to the soldiers stationed at his side.
‘Or did they help?’
In any case, it was a stroke of luck. The morale of the soldiers who sensed victory was at its peak. They broke through the mountains carrying the fighter jet that had transformed from a god of death to a goddess of victory on their backs.
Alan, aboard the fighter jet, peered down through the spider attached to the wing. The round camera eye spun around.
‘The Titans were only deployed near the capital? That’s boring.’
There were also soldiers who were dismantling the slightly damaged Magic Tank, intending to collect it later. Alan aimed his missile and then stopped.
