Season 3: Episode 88

“We have succeeded in securing the sun city , but if is being attacked to this extent, must already be under siege. Your Majesty, how can we break through?”

The priest of Hong, Aydin, asked.

“No matter how thick the mass is, the more you spread it out, the thinner it becomes. If you concentrate your force against it, it is not difficult to make a hole in one place.”

Halbaron shrugged his shoulders at Cheongseong’s answer.

“I’m very knowledgeable, so I understand everything, but I hope you’ll consider the intelligence of these blinking turtle friends.”

“I’m glad you pointed out the reality. I’ll split up the unit. It’s an infiltration war.”

As Cheongseong shook his sleeves, the table gained new life in the pure white wind.

As the buds sprouted and woven together on the table and grew into trees, the map of the sky over was soon completed.

Although she should be used to it by now, Camilla had to look it up and down absentmindedly and laugh out loud.

“ was originally built on top of the crater of the Celtimus volcano. There are six peaks in total around it, and each of those peaks has a satellite city, and each of those satellite cities has a railway station.”

The Celtimus volcanic field is said to resemble a wheel when viewed from above.

The wheel-shaped peaks and the Shriganakyusu are connected by a suspension bridge built using ancient technology.

A railway runs through the center of the suspension bridge.

“We must occupy the satellite city of Banesh, which connects and by rail on the northeastern peak. But that is not the end. We must also secure the railway, that is, the suspension bridge railway connecting and the peak.”

General Krausan presented a pessimistic outlook.

“Your Majesty, however, the railway towards the castle gate and suspension bridge may have already been damaged by the siege.”

“That’s why we’ve reserved the combat engineering unit under the 3rd Special Forces Group.”

“We are so pleased that you have entrusted us with the interior construction of the railway in the city of , Your Majesty.”

Halbaron answered humorously.

Lamine giggled. The two of them had a similar tendency to burst out laughing at odd places.

Floret ran her finger over her chin.

“So, this operation is to simultaneously occupy the peak and the suspension bridge and hold them until the evacuation is over, is that what you’re saying?”

“Yes. The infiltration of will be left to the Blood Demon Corps. For this purpose, disciples will be selected from each unit. Camilla, Sharon, and Roberis will be temporarily assigned to the Blood Demon Corps, so that they can be used for infiltration and occupation.”

“Yes, Your Majesty. I will use it with gratitude. I will use it carefully and return it to you, so don’t worry.”

When Asher winked at his younger siblings… … his disciples and juniors, Camilla and Sharon smiled awkwardly and Roberis bowed his head politely.

John was already assigned.

It was Cheongseong’s decision to fill the empty spot left by the priestess Silamine, but at the time, Johan, who had grown faster than anyone else, was soon exerting influence on the battlefield that rivaled that of his master Delfred.

“The Red Lotus Corps will wait in hiding on the outskirts of and enter once the Blood Demon Corps secures the safety of the train station. We must not allow the enemy to discover our intentions and destroy the train station.”

“Yes, Uncle. Don’t worry.”

“The Taesan and Black Rose Corps will subdue the enemies at the suspension bridge. Once both operations are over, the Black Rose and Blood Horse will take the lead in entering , and the Red Lotus Corps will return to and take on a defensive mission.”

The first payquerier, Tars Alter Surpin, spoke.

“What should we do next?”

“With the 3rd Special Forces Group Combat Engineers, hold the suspension bridge until the last train leaves. That’s your mission. It’s going to be a very difficult mission. Can you do it?”

“Leave it to me. I will definitely do it.”

“I will once again hand over the command of the corps to you, Krauzan. The coordination between the artillery, armored, and engineering units of the Steel Fleet will be handled by Halbaron.”

“Yes, Your Majesty.”

Krausan answered and Halbaron asked.

“What will Your Majesty do?”

“I will first enter the skies above and take overall command of changing the city defense battle into an evacuation escort. When I let go of the rope in a tug-of-war, I will have to make it so that the opponent falls over. And… … .”

Cheongseong suddenly closed his eyes, and even that silence felt noble. When Cheongseong was silent, it felt like even the atmosphere became quiet.

“I’m always sending you guys to hell.”

Then Asher waved his hand and said,

“What are you talking about? We are warriors.”

Lamine laughed out loud.

“That’s right, uncle. This is not even on the scale of hell. Unless you call it a sauna. Isn’t that what everyone else is like?”

Halbaron smiled brightly.

“There has never been a sauna where you would get your head smashed for making a small mistake. The sauna culture of warriors is considered unique.”

Fossil World Oukan Subjugation War, High-altitude Infiltration of Volcanic Zone (1)

[Eshir: Roro, welcome to the most powerful corps in the history of the Payquerier Corps.]

Ashir said.

Since the entire Blood Demon Corps was inside the ‘White Egg’ and flying under the wings of Cheongseong, communication through voice was impossible.

Baekran is a white egg-shaped cluster of verbs, and was the core of the high-altitude infiltration operation devised by Cheongseong.

Shock absorption.

Gravity control.

Orbit adjustment.

These three verbs caused all the anti-air damage and landing damage received up to that point to explode in all directions at the moment of landing, incapacitating the enemies.

[Camilla: I know it’s an honor. In the past, a snot-nosed person like you would never have been able to come here.]

Asher and the executives laughed like crazy.

[McKennan: Kkkkkkkkkkkkk.]

[Leone: Ahahahahahahahahaha!]

[Phenyl: I’m so dumbfounded.]

Sharon let out a laugh that was hard to tell if she was laughing or not.

[Eshir: Of course. The most dangerous battles were always our battles. You can never say that someone who just turned fourteen came in against their will.]

[Roberis: I think that’s what you just said.]

[Sharon: Teacher, is it true that if I work hard here, they will take me to the Primitive Kingdom Ilta Plastic Surgery Clinic and give me plastic surgery?]

[Eshir: Sorry, but that’s a trade secret. Heh heh heh. If Sharon says she wants to come to our unit instead of Black Rose, I’ll let her know.]

[Camilla: Hey! I didn’t do that because I wanted to! You’re really losing!]

[Eshir: In any case, the size of the corps has been reduced to less than 10%, but as you can see, it is no different from before in terms of being deployed to battlefields with high influence.]

Inside the Baekran, there is an image of the Thousand-Li Eye. Through it, one can closely observe the external situation and the situation at the expected landing point.

A small but strong enemy.

Among the Ten Stone Heads, the fossil trolls and low-level mazols were deployed, but fortunately, the High Kun Tark Nuwigin Clan, a dangerous element in the siege, was at the south gate.

[Eshir: That is why the performance of our Blood Horse Corps has a great influence on the victory or defeat of the battle.]

The number ’60’ appears at the bottom right of the Cheonlian.

[Krawzan: Halbaron, Your Majesty has reached the target altitude.]

This means 60 seconds.

The countdown to the river has begun.

[Halvaron: Mobile cannon artillery fire positioning complete, steam core preheating complete, maximum drop trajectory calculation complete.]

At the same time, the air currents in the sky are disturbed.

[Cheongseong: Begin bombardment. Now, you two will assume overall command. I will enter the skies over immediately after the landing operation.]

The 3rd Special Forces Group’s artillery fire began first at the landing point, literally burning the formation of lower-level demons surrounding the peak to the ground.

[Eshir: Loro, I don’t have time to teach you everything. But I can definitely teach you how to command your troops from now on.]

As Cheongseong, which has arrived at the peak, lowers its altitude, the countdown number goes down below ’10’.

[Eshir: Courage is important, but the skills that support that courage are also important. This is just the beginning. Watch carefully and learn.]

As the light beams that had been holding Cheongseong’s wings broke off all at once, Baekran plummeted to the ground.

[Cheongseong: Blood Horse Corps, route 3-1-3. Begin descent.]

The moment the white orchid hits the ground, a ripple of shock spreads across the entire white orchid, then explodes into white light, dyeing the surroundings.

[Eshir: Units, assemble by platoon and then take roll call!]

The light flows like a wave, extinguishing enemies waiting around and elements (such as fire and debris) that could interfere with the operation.

[Eshir: Roll call complete. All units, no abnormalities! Blood Horse Corps landing report successful.]

[Krawzan: Blood Horse, His Majesty the King has confirmed the presence of survivors, and has also made rescuing them an operational objective. Of course, do not forget that the top priority is the train station.]

[Cheongseong: All troops, currently 5 seconds away from entering the airspace. A high-risk abyssal agent has been observed, but the volcanic ash is thick, making it impossible to confirm the exact location. I will leave the subjugation to Taesan and the Black Rose Corps.]

[Tars: Taishan Corps, subjugation order confirmed! Moving to the target area with the Black Rose Corps!]

Soon, as Cheongseong went out of the range of the Brain and Heart Resonance, that lofty presence was cut off from my mind.

Now, it has begun.

Conquest of the satellite city , located on the northeastern peak of the Celtimus volcanic zone.

[Eshir: Phenyl, fortify the area around the train station!]

[Phenyl: Two stone-headed fossil trolls are guarding the main entrance to the train station. It’s a miracle that those stone heads didn’t destroy the train station.]

[Eshir: This is the perfect opponent to loosen up! Don’t use magic, as it will damage the train station. Camilla on the left! Sharon on the right! If you subdue their lower bodies, I’ll take out both of them at once! This is my first time as a Lolo, so just watch!]

As soon as Camilla rose from the saddle, she formed a platform of magical power in the air. She amplified her power to close the gap at lightning speed.

Distance to target, 30 steps.

The abnormal force and attitude of reducing the distance of 30 steps at once is sheathed in the scabbard and gathers everything that exists under the name of energy.

The target is moving.

The trolls belonging to the Sipseokdu share the racial characteristic of low intelligence, but their movements are much more agile in battle.

And the opponent is the fossil world.

You can tell at a glance that the skin is not made of leather but of fossils. The entire body is like rock, so its mass, weight, and strength are all strengths of a troll.

However, it is not without its weaknesses.

In order to be able to move that huge body, the hardness of the joints was weaker than other parts. And very weak.

The fourth form of the ten-letter alphabet is bal (發).

The Fossil Troll swung its arm heavily in the direction of Camilla’s charge. It formed its magical platform again for an evasive maneuver.

When changing orbit, use the scabbard.

Instead of kicking the platform with his boots, he changed direction by striking the platform with his sword, which was still sharp and had its energy concentrated.

That backlash.

A recoil so strong it makes your bones shake.

Even that recoil is contained in the sword. Now the surface of the scabbard begins to shake violently as if it is about to split.

‘Now, what method of release should we use?’

Although the cross-cutting attack is powerful against a single entity, it is not suitable for dealing with trolls because the branches of the attack are scattered in all directions.

If so, there is only one answer.

The 11th form, Thunder Strike, is used, which is the most powerful when dealing with a single entity.

In fact, the strongest is Type 12, Yeonmyeol Island.

The difficulty of acquiring that technique, which was like the essence of all the techniques in the Ten Characters, was not something Camilla could touch yet.

A flash.

The blade slid out from its scabbard in a dazzling flash of light, cutting deep into the fossil troll’s ankle.

In the process of entry and exit.

Beyond the fossil, I’ve cut through all the skin, tendons, cells, and blood vessels, but I haven’t been able to cut through the bones, but this is enough.

[Camilla: Left end!]

[Sharon: Right too!]

The two swords and the ten-letter sword were aimed at the same ankle.

Tilting… … The troll’s body began to tilt as its lower body could no longer support the enormous mass.

A sharp, dazzling, red vortex swirling at that slanted angle. The vortex was formed by countless overlapping crescent moons.

The sword light of the polar satellite sword, Renault.

In that saturation of light, life changes into destruction.

Renault’s blade rose from the cervical spine of the left troll to the tip of its head, slicing through its brain, before cutting off the neck of the right troll along its cervical spine.

[Eshir: Perfect! Now fortify the area around the platform! Signal system is 2-1-1!]

The three female warriors landed on their respective steeds, squirming as the ground shook from the impact of the two giants falling.

[Camilla: Was I faster? You slowpoke.]

[Sharon: Hehe, what are you talking about? I did it first, but I waited because I was afraid Camilla’s concentration would break, which would make her skills even worse. Have you forgotten that I’m higher in the hierarchy?]

[Camilla: This is hilarious!]

[Eshir: Now, be quiet! You both did well, so why are you doing this again?]

[Camilla: I don’t know! I was faster, but he’s being stubborn!]

[Aeshir: Camilla, you’re not a kid! Stop it, I’ll buy you some snacks later!]

[Sharon: Oh, if we’re going to appease Camilla, it looks like we’ll have to take her to the Primal Kingdom Plastic Surgery Clinic again.]

Looking at that back view, Roberis opened his eyes wide, although he didn’t express it in words.

‘amazing…….’

Trolls are the most powerful single entity of the demon race (Demons are one of the six demon races, but they are non-standard). And yet, they are capable of such a devastating blow against a troll belonging to the ten-stone-headed class.

Pure admiration… … .

And Tokyo… … .

What the seniors showed the girl at that time was not simply the horizon of the sword. It was the weight of the years they had accumulated together over a long period of time.

[Eshir: Headquarters, securing and fortifying the area around the train station completed!]

All of youth… … .

Dedicated to the front lines of the battlefield… … .

[Eshir: Now we will carry out the next objective.]

[Krawzan: Well done, Blood Demon. According to the information sent by His Majesty the Qing, there are six places where the hostages are being held. I will tell you which buildings they are.]

[Eshir: The main force is given command to Emil and Melene! Secure the railroad! Divide the detachment into three squads. 1st squad, follow me! 2nd squad, assist Camilla! 3rd squad, assist Sharon! Loro, follow the 2nd squad, which has the fewest numbers! Alright, let’s go!]

The disciples’ great performance and funny chatter made Tars and Floret smile while carrying out their mission to secure the suspension bridge.

[Tars: Let’s finish our mission quickly.]

[Florette: Yes. By the way, when is it time for a high-risk abyss entity to appear? Hmm? What is it?]

[Barov: The sound of footsteps echoes like crazy from beyond the volcanic ash. It seems like a huge amount of trolls have appeared… …?!]

No, it wasn’t. It was a single entity.

Troll? Ogre?

Even the lead payquerier Tars had never seen a troll with such a nimble physique and such quick movements before.

‘Hurry up, why is it so fast?’

The reason for this was that there was almost no rock that should have formed the surface. It felt like light armor that covered only the necessary parts. Dark red skin was revealed through the gaps in the armor.

There are two differences.

The height of its body was about 50 feet, like that of other ogres, and lava pulsated fiercely from its thick blood vessels.

[Barov: Target, rush forward at high speed towards the front of the formation!]

What is the identity?

I don’t know, but I can tell. It’s a powerful abyss that will send shivers down your spine, a high-risk abyss entity.

This guy is the Oukan of the fossil world. But this, this abyss’ concentration, is comparable to that of a high-ranking demon?

[Tars: Lines, spread out to either side! Floret, you on the left, I on the right.]

[Florette: That damn bastard, he’s trampling all over the railroad… … !]

Tars immediately raised his sword, the Extreme Satellite Sword Surpang, and took a stance of desperation, but he was unable to cover the thing in its orbit.

It’s not just because it’s fast.

The guy who broke through the center of the camp ignored Taesan and Heukjangmi and ran beyond them.

[Tars: That guy, no way… … Floret, stop that kid’s movements! Don’t let him go towards !]

Before that order was even given, Floret had already kicked the magic platform several times and ascended to high altitude.

The Roar of the Sword of the Polar Satellite, Tasalpo.

The trajectory of the sword strike, which cut through the darkness so clearly and vividly, looked like a sharp descent of light.

[Florette: Stop, you son of a bitch!]

That swordplay was supposed to pierce through Oukan’s weak point… … .

Can’t reach.

Don’t touch.

The tip of his sword missed Oukan’s weak point by a hair’s breadth as he ran at full speed, ignoring the payquerier. He couldn’t stop the bastard’s movements.

‘What the heck, you bastard… … Did you see through His Majesty the King’s plan? You’re going to disable the railroad and go straight to ?’

In her dazed thoughts, Floret forgot to use her magical powers to fall, and almost broke her leg.

[Tars: Your Majesty, it’s Oukan! But it’s strange! It ignored us and headed straight for ! It seems that the danger is comparable to that of a high-ranking demon! Please allow us to pursue!]

Krausan paused for a moment.

High-risk abyss entities are acting strangely here?

The Taesan Corps and the Black Rose Corps are pursuing them? Could that be his plan?

[Krawzan: I won’t allow it. You finish the mission to secure the suspension bridge.]

[Halvaron: The railroad is currently being rebuilt to standard specifications under my command of the combat engineers. It would be better if it were all destroyed. We could just clear it away and start over.]

[Florette: No, then just leave it like that?]

[Krawzan: I’m not leaving it alone. I’ll change the plan a little. I’ll bring forward the deployment of the Red Lotus Corps.]

[Laminea: I’ll leave right now, but I definitely won’t make it in time.]

[Krawzan: Isn’t that why there’s a forerunner? Blood Demon Corps, your actions are now important. Stop Oukan. We must protect the train station.]

I was just listening to the brain-heart resonance, and I felt the beads of sweat running down my spine suddenly swaying back and forth in the curves that had formed.

Chills? Goosebumps?

Sharon’s expression was no different, and Asher had a similar look in his eyes, but there was a smile on his lips.

[Eshir: I confirmed it. The city square in front of the train station is perfect for luring and destroying the bastard.]

Are you crazy? Absolutely not.

That’s courage.

The smile of a warrior who smiles towards everyone and for everyone, even in situations where there is no room for smiles.

[Eshir: I apologize to my seniors, but our Blood Demon Corps will be taking on the task of subduing the high-risk Abyss entities!]
