Season 3: Episode 86

“What about Roberis?”

Tarth Alter Surpin asked.

Taishan Corporal Sarah Slade pointed her finger at the ceiling of the train.

“You know.”

Tarsus smiled as if he couldn’t stop talking.

“You don’t seem to get tired. Well, at that age, you should be running around and having fun.”

It takes five days to travel from to by train without stopping at any intermediate stations.

Camilla enjoyed her swordsmanship training even during these times, and Roberis had been following her around ever since her showdown with the Pale Baronet.

Because I wanted to learn more, because I thought I could learn more, and because I wanted to be of help to the teacher.

“Are you sure you’re okay?”

Camilla placed her hand on the hilt of the sword and cocked her chin haughtily.

As the train barrels forward at full speed, the air reverberates, roughly ruffling the girl’s hair.

“Now the gap between you and me is as wide as heaven and earth.”

Likewise, Sharon, whose hair was blowing wildly in the wind, stroked the hilt of her longsword with her signature smile.

“Hehehe, you don’t avoid poop because it’s dirty, you avoid it because you’re scared. Just consider it dirty for today.”

“What? What did you say, Inma! Alright! I’ll break that snout today! It’s a pecking order!”

Asher Eijin stepped forward and volunteered to be the judge.

“Okay, now let’s start the competition. Whoever thinks they’re cute, raise your hand!”

Camilla shook her head, not understanding what he meant, while Sharon raised her hand and said, “Yes.”

“Sharon wins the cuteness contest! Raise your hand if you think you’re beautiful!”

“yes!”

“Sharon wins the beauty contest by a landslide! Next up─!”

Camilla finally got the gist of the story and shouted.

“─No, no no no no! What are you doing! Who would do something like this! Sister is out! I was just about to sort out the rankings.”

“No, no! Everything must be decided peacefully.”

“Oh, I told you to get out of the way!”

“The next match is a match of aegyo.”

“?”

“Since it’s a best-of-five series, if Sharon wins this too, it’s going to be a disaster, so I’ll give the first blow to Camilla!”

“???”

“Okay, Camilla! Start being cute!”

“Hey, stop talking nonsense! Aegyo is nothing more than a piece of shit.”

“Aegyo, shiizaaak!”

“Ah! I’m not saying that!”

“Time limit, 3 seconds, 2 seconds, 1 second! Aaaah~ Camilla loses by default! Loses the ranking battle with Sharon! From now on, no one can deny that Sharon is superior to Camilla.”

When Asher pretended to give her a medal that didn’t even exist, Sharon raised both hands and cheered.

“Hoohoo, hoohoo, hoohoohoohoo!”

A quiet smile spread across Roberis’s lips as he watched the situation from beginning to end, hugging both of his knees.

“Huh? Huh? Hey, guys! Look at that! Lolo is laughing!”

“Are you going to Roro?”

“Hey, Lolo is a doll. What’s so funny?”

“I told you it’s true!”

The world at that time was on the verge of destruction, but one aspect of everyday life was so dazzling.

no…….

Was it because I was so close to destruction that even such trivial daily life felt so dazzling and brilliant?

The Eve of the Counterattack, the Defense of the Sun Castle (1)

The 114 trains traveled along the Eastern 5th Railway and arrived at , a post on the southwestern border of the Kingdom of Solund.

The situation was dire at first glance.

There was not a single garrison on the border, and the bloodstains and mud inside and outside the outposts testified to the catastrophe that had taken place there.

“Someone stop that bone-crunching noise. Where the hell is it coming from? I’m going crazy.”

Floret grumbled, but it was fortunate that the Necrons had not fortified Cameron.

, which also served as a border control post, was a large historical building, so the garrison at was able to disembark and deploy troops without difficulty.

The demon tribe was caught off guard by Cheongseong’s plan without even thinking about it.

“Come on, let’s go, stop it and get down.”

When she got off the train after five days, her whole body felt sore. Camilla stretched and checked her physical condition.

“So Sollond has become the primary target of the primitive army. They’ve already laid waste to this place. That’s an abnormally fast advance.”

Aydin nodded solemnly at Cheongseong’s words.

“Solond was a kingdom founded by the archmage Rigwind upon the old capital of the Saquin kingdom… … It is no wonder that it became an object of hatred by the Necrons.”

“The capital of the Kingdom of Solund, , and the platform of are the key to the withdrawal operation, and must be defended without fail.”

“We’ll need a lot of firepower. There seem to be a lot of numbers.”

It was Tarth’s remark that he roughly estimated the number of enemies by looking at the ugly footprints and handprints of primitive people on the ground.

“There are currently no operational artillery units in the human army, so instead, cooperate with the 3rd Special Forces Group of the Steel Fleet.”

This was the moment when one of Halbaron’s masterpieces, the ‘Giant Type 7: H28 Mobile Cannon (later improved to Type 33 during the Battle of Tyrant)’, made its first appearance in history.

Oh my gosh, there’s something like this… … .

The latest armored weapon of mankind, the Type 17 Geoshin, looked so outdated that it was almost outdated.

There was a gun barrel protruding from his chest.

It is equipped with a medium tank gun, and when firing, its four auxiliary legs are deployed to firmly anchor the body to the ground.

“Yes, Your Majesty. I will follow your orders.”

“Wasn’t your special forces a panzer unit, Admiral?”

When the teacher asked with surprised eyes, Halbaron smiled.

“There are two battalions of existing armored units, but the others are all new giants. To put it simply, you could call them walking artillery units. Once the test run is over, they will be manufactured on lines 1 and 2 of the weapons factory.”

The radiator is also installed inside the fuselage, so that the cooling water circulates to provide a pleasant cool air in the cockpit.

However, in the explosive heat of that summer, the cooling system was also a prototype and would periodically overheat and cause problems.

In the near future, during the battle against the gluttonous gods, the Type 33 had its coolant system reinforced to protect the pilot even within the gluttonous gods.

“A cannon barrel on a giant’s chest… … It looks incredible at first glance. How do you design something like this?”

Halvaron chuckled at Camilla’s question.

“It’s hard to explain. If you teach a turtle how to fly, will it be able to fly?”

“Tch, showing off.”

“Ka, Kami! What kind of a habit is that to have with your admiral! I’m sorry, admiral.”

“Hahaha! Leave me alone. We’re just close.”

I don’t remember becoming that close, but Ain seemed to like people who act arrogantly. Since their racial nature is arrogant, they seem to feel a sense of kinship with people who are similar to them.

“Anyway, don’t worry. I was originally an artillery officer, so I’ll be able to finish off the long-range support. If you see the Necrons coming towards you, call me.”

He is probably the only one who went from being a mere artillery officer to an admiral in just five years through his genius for mercenary tactics.

“The world is illuminated by a pure white dream, has already entered a battle situation and the gates are about to be breached. We cannot allow the platforms and tracks to be destroyed like this.”

Floret answered.

“Give me the order, Your Majesty. I will complete any mission, as long as I can avoid hearing the sound of these bones.”

Suddenly, out of nowhere, without any context, the pristine desert covered ‘their’ vision and consciousness.

It is an ancient kingdom.

Boiling lava engulfs the heavens and the earth in red, and whirling sandstorms violently tear apart the mountains and rivers.

There are no humans there.

No, there have been humans throughout history.

Humans who are not in the same form as humans today, but are raised like livestock.

okay…….

This is the original appearance of the world… … .

A primitive disaster that stimulates intense nostalgia as the way the world should return to.

Right at the center of that world, an ‘eye’ opened.

It seemed as if the lava had taken the shape of an eye. Lava like bloody tears flowed out of the long, vertically torn pupil.

‘They’ knelt low.

They were representatives of the tribe that humans call the Demon Tribe, including Uruk Hai, Kun Tark, the Blood Clan Five Great Saints, and the Trolls Ten Stones, a dozen or so key figures.

This is the spiritual world.

It was a world ruled by the King’s Echo, a space that united the consciousness of those who had received the blessing.

“Sya… … Ka… … Duros… … .」

The King’s Echo asked about the state of affairs. The pale Baroness Siyetra, who had been trembling from the moment he was summoned, struck his forehead on the sand.

“Please forgive me, my great queen. I did my best─!”

As the ‘eye’ cried out violently, Siyetra’s body was suddenly engulfed in lava and sandstorm.

That soul melts.

That spirit is torn apart.

Death in this world leads to death in reality, as the soul and spirit are destroyed and swallowed up.

“La… … Suhebit… … Shigot… … .」

As the king’s echo shook the heavens and earth again, the priest wearing the ancient lizard skeleton armor raised his head.

Black viper, Serbut.

One of the three most mysterious and dangerous Necron priests, Falk-Sha.

“Those who disappoint the king are all those who served the Lord of Time. Those who serve the true king, Neigalas, are carrying out the king’s orders.”

“Arshis… … Do… … .」

“Don’t worry. I will go to the king’s presence right away. I will tear down all those blasphemous structures and restore the true kingdom.”

* * *

The old Kingdom of Sakyun is buried beneath the Kingdom of Sollon, which was founded in the central northern part of the Adrion continent.

The primordial kingdom of Hyrkan, the King of Bone.

The castle towers that once protected the splendid glory of the old kingdom were also buried deep underground and became grottoes.

“The name is Aroele Grottoes.”

There are a total of 13 stone caves, and they are arranged in a circular shape surrounding the royal castle, like a castle tower.

The towers are imbued with power.

The blessing of the abyss received by corrupting the kingdom and offering all its people as living sacrifices to the Lizard Lord.

“That is, this place was the origin of the curse.”

The Necron High Priest, the second in the Falk-Sha hierarchy, the Black Viper: Serbut, activates all of these caves before the conquest of , thereby initiating a primordial barrier throughout the kingdom.

“This was a barrier that would cause the capital of the old kingdom buried underground to rise, and bury the that had been built on top of it alive. In other words, if this barrier were to unfold, Cheongseong’s plan would go down the drain.”

Both humanity and the demon race aimed for for different reasons, but since both sides’ reasons were important, became a battleground.

“Cheongseong declares that he will personally subdue the ‘Black Viper’ and leads the cavalry, the Black Rose and the Blood Horse, toward the Sun Castle, .”

The Taesan Corps and the Hongryeon Corps joined forces with the 3rd Special Forces Group of the Steel Fleet and set out to conquer the Aroele Caves on December 13, 1675 AD.
