Tale of the Fake Hero - Chapter 284
Only Noblemtl
Season 3: Episode 92
“With the activities of the special force under the command of Cheongseong, the main stage of the withdrawal operation has finally been raised.”
In the red city, , the defeated troops of the Eastern Army (who had held a ceremony of victory 80 days ago) were all gathered and fighting a defensive battle.
“While escorting the widely scattered refugees to , the 4th Seat Digoel Alter Naiseimon and the 9th Seat Aeworthy Alter Verumpeira went missing.”
Naiseimon is a greatsword-shaped holy sword.
A holy sword in the form of a plain-clothes sword called Verumpay.
They were sister swords with Surpin and Fladimarte respectively.
“Moreover, his subordinate corps was annihilated, the two disciples of the Paqueria disappeared, and Naiseimon was lost. Only Verumpeira was somehow recovered and returned to the Vatican.”
The Demon Tribe’s full-scale offensive blocks even the path of retreat with a net and aims for the lifeline of the defeated human forces.
It was such an urgent situation.
In this very situation, the retreat that Cheongseong had made through was truly a way out.
“First, Cheongseong, who had entered the skies over and was leading the counterattack operation, was about to begin the main operation when the railcar carrying the brain fragrance entered the city and the brain fragrance deep resonance line connected with everyone.”
One of the two major events that marked the end of the ‘Black Summer’, the ‘Great Battle of ‘ began in this very context.
“Camilla Alter Aradmantel was in a coma and could not participate in this operation, but most of the heroes of humanity at the time fought here on this day. Today, let’s take a closer look at this history through the activities of Cheongseong.”
Crisis is the back side of opportunity, retreat operation (1)
“ has been secured by the Red Lotus Corps.”
The commander-in-chief of the three tribes of In, Yo, and Ah, ‘Cheongseong’ Mirngardia.
“Soon, trains departing from will pass by there and enter .”
This is inside the ‘White Curtain’.
It was a spiritual space that simplified and embodied the scenery of the ‘pure white dream’, where the World Tree and its lake unfolded in tearful tranquility.
The ripples spread without notice.
The beings who were causing big and small ripples on the surface of the lake were the first-tier commanders.
Starting with the commanders Krausan and Jozenna, and even the temporary payquerier Asher were lined up.
This was originally used to issue emergency orders during normal times, but it was useful as a stopgap measure now that the brain-heart resonance had not fully developed.
“, a place that was the home of the Abyss for a long time before Christ. At that time, it was called .”
A memory close to transcendence allows him to copy the contents of ancient texts in his head.
“In ancient times, it was a fortress that covered the entire Celtimus volcanic zone, and a palace was built inside its crater. It is said that 108 pillars of molten iron supported the city on top of the crater, making it strong enough to withstand any disaster.”
The roots of the World Tree rise up and intertwine, creating the landscape of the city of one hundred and eight pillars, .
This is the capital of the old kingdom.
Holshbez, the capital of the Reptilian kingdom, was a source of nightmares for ancient humanity.
“Until and Eldia Alma (01) Alcaios and Eldia Bete (02) Kaduel overthrew the old kingdom and liberated them.”
A scene from the literature of .
The palace of the Lizard Lord became the Red City of Shriganakyus… … The changes in the interior and exterior of the city over the course of history float on the surface of the lake.
“And Shurigan, together with her spouse Jeanneir, changes this place from a center of nightmare to a land of light with tears and prayers.”
The portrait of the Bloody Sun Shurigan appears in the ancient water dragon’s pearl engraved on Mirngardia’s soul.
Among the , there are three men.
Tervel is a splendid example of the unmanned, and Karenden is secretive and mysterious, and there is no external information left for later generations… … but Shurigan is recorded everywhere as a gentle and tearful being.
「Also, in order to maintain the seal of Neigalas as much as possible, Shurigan scattered and sealed his body throughout the continent of Adrion, and sealed his core separately inside the crater of .」
It was a perfectly designed design.
Even if the three tribes of In, Yo, and Ah had not been able to deal with the remnants of the Demon Tribe that had fled all the way to the southern end to avoid the .
“The demons gained their power through the flesh of Neigalas, and have caused chaos and troubled humanity several times. The perfect design has become a flaw due to unexpected variables.
The scenery of in Homyeon is transformed into .
All traces of the old king disappear.
Only the city is visible, its splendid and brilliant blood-red grace comforting everyone’s heart.
“It is a given that the seal on Naegalas will be released. There is no way to stop it. However, there is a way to delay it as much as possible. I don’t know how many more people will die and suffer in the process.”
The 3D information of the ‘Bloody Cathedral’, which was built by burying , under the crater where was built, is expanded.
“The only thing sealed here is the core of Neigalas. The demons are bringing their flesh, but the fusion has not yet taken place.”
Marshal Krausan said.
“Your Majesty, what should we do now?”
“Let them do as they please. You will escort the refugees to the train station and secure both the platform and the rails.”
“ has six satellite cities including , and there are gates at each passage. Are you giving up all of those defensive lines?”
These were the remarks of the current Vice President, Mate Alter Gierda.
“It’s like a tug-of-war. If those who are being pushed suddenly let go of the rope, those who are pulling with all their might will fall over under their own strength. This is the principle that is used.”
“I’m extremely sorry, but I don’t understand the operational outline.”
“All of his forces are gathering here to break the seal on Naigalas, so let’s strike first. I will release the seal and seal him again. His strength is calculated to be less than 30 to 40 percent of his original strength.”
Everyone was silent.
What kind of nonsense is this gambling… … .
We all know that he always enjoys this kind of competition, but this time the format seemed unusual.
Halbaron said.
“You deliberately broke the seal of one of the . May I ask why? Even the old Yong-Hyeon deliberately broke the seal of Ashron.”
“The abyssal form of Neigalas, lava melts everything. Its minions are no different. They just become immune when its blessing is present.”
Cheongseong explained calmly.
Neigalas again, compared to the seal of Shurigan, it would be insignificant, but if only I could seal it… … if only I could cut off its power in an instant.
“In that brief moment, the lava of Neigalas will swallow not you, but all of his minions. So hurry and head to the Northeast Railway Station.”
A color came back to everyone’s faces, to everyone’s faces that had been worn out in this desperate situation.
The name of that color is hope.
In every moment of ‘Black Summer’, Cheongseong’s guidance always shined light on everyone’s hearts in that way.
“In this mental world, it feels like nearly 5 minutes have passed, but in reality, not even 5 seconds have passed. Now, let’s begin.”
Cheongseong Mirngadia finally lifted the curtain of consciousness from everyone. She opened her eyes and returned to the world.
[Tars: The railcar carrying His Majesty the Brain is heading to the train station. All units are connecting to the Brain Resonance Center.]
Over .
As the city was covered in lava due to the advance of the Demon Tribe, Cheongseong was heading towards the city center in the form of a dragon.
[Cheongseong: Well done. 150 seconds to the city center. From there, you can open the passage to the Bloody Cathedral.]
Under the command of Mate Alter Gierda, the Griffin Squadron of the Flying Corps was protecting the wings of Cheongseong.
[Mate: Your Majesty! I am waiting to release the Holy Sword to subdue the enemy Dragon Barrier! I will use the Supreme Power!]
The griffin’s flank was kicked, and the mate’s two hands, which had been protruding in front of Cheongseong, were burning intensely with a crimson light.
Jierda is a holy sword in the form of a bow.
Eldia Bete (02) A 7th-tier weapon that can roughly imitate the power of Carduel’s true sword Hisgivid, the power of ‘dimensional collapse’.
[Cheongseong: I’ll leave it to you, Mate. Go and handle it.]
High Kun Tark 3rd place, Nuwigin.
The Nuwygin clan, considered one of the best armourers in Uruk, knew how to use their skills skillfully.
The King’s Blessing, that is, the Dragon’s Barrier, was deployed like a siege tower… … The primitive leaning tower overflowing with lava was advancing to the sound of drums.
A paradise, a thousand-shattering mirror.
A mysterious beam of crimson light pierced the very center of the tower. At the moment of penetration, the space the tower was in distorted and collapsed.
“Whoooooooo!”
“You’re done, Captain!”
“I tell you, it’s a masterpiece no matter when you look at it!”
The fact that the Hangryong barrier has been neutralized means that the shackles that were blocking Cheongseong’s power have disappeared.
Cheongseong opened his mouth wide.
A power that rises from that throat in a blue halo.
Even if the dragon doesn’t use its tongue, its breath itself is the strongest fighting technique.
The flames of the Great Plains swept away the ranks of the clan that had been lying flat on the ground.
[Mate: This is crazy! You just blew up a whole sidewalk! It’s so pathetic to see myself struggling after using a single spell.]
[Kishien: Master! Your Majesty is the Samyeongryong and you are human!]
[Cheongseong: Maengjin Corps, you may advance since the enemy’s air defenses have been neutralized. Mate, divide your squadron into two and cover Maengjin as one. Mate, follow me.]
The squadron of the Flying Corps was split in two, and the other squadron was immediately reorganized under the command of his disciple Kishien.
“3-1 strike confirmed! Roll call!”
… …
… …
“Confirmed 3-15 hit!”
… …
… …
“Confirmed 3-32 strike!”
The power that suppressed the old nightmare, , was broken, and parts of the city were falling apart, with lava gushing out from the cracks in the collapse.
The 3rd squadron commenced low-altitude flight.
We covered the advance of the brigade heading towards the train station, charging head-on through the lava and enemy fire.
[Cheongseong: 30 seconds until arrival.]
The first and second squadrons of Mate, following Cheongseong, entered the city center that had already been taken over by the enemy.
[Mate: Squadron, initiate engagement!]
withdrawal operation.
Day 36 of the Siege, 7:42 AM.
The time the clock showed was clearly morning, but the world covered in volcanic ash and sandstorms was darker than any night… … .
[Cheongseong: This is Cheongseong. All units of the 1st and 2nd Battalions of the Fighting Corps are hereby ordered to defend this position.]
The 1st and 2nd squadrons flew in gliding formations and dropped explosive bombs, repelling three trolls that were rushing toward the city center.
Really, there’s no end to it… … .
Mate stabilised his cold sweat and breathing after inserting the fourth hemolytic serum syringe into his wrist.
[Mate: Unit, initiate turning maneuver! We must defend this position at the risk of our lives while His Majesty opens the ‘door’!]
Cheongseong abandoned the form of a dragon and took on the form of a dragon man.
Close your eyes and float in the air.
With pure white hair and the hem of her clothes fluttering noblely, the demons screamed at the splendid splendor, while Mother Nature danced in joy.
[Cheongseong: Just give me one minute, just one minute.]
Flowers sprout from the cracks in the central stone slab, and trees that were withering and dying are revived and grow even more.
[Cheongseong: I will use the ‘Bloody Cathedral Entry Key’ left by the Black Sun Karenden to the Water Dragon Yeriserika.]
As Cheongseong closed his eyes and put his hands together, the light of the old water dragon descended upon the ground… … and suddenly the center’s perception began to change.
Is this the ground collapsing?
No, it wasn’t collapsing. Charararak… … It was unfolding in an orderly manner, forming a new shape.
‘It looks like a spiral staircase at first glance?’
This was the maze that led into an ancient crater where no light could reach.
‘I don’t know for sure how many years the technological prowess of is ahead of that of modern mankind… … .’
At that moment when Mate was so amazed, an eardrum-piercing scream was heard.
Was it instinct?
Not the instinct of a rider mate, but the wild instinct of his pet griffin, Maypin, made him turn slightly… … and something huge passed by.
[Mate: No way… … .]
Although a direct hit was avoided, there was collateral damage.
The caustic saliva from its six-pronged beak spurted onto the griffin’s feathers and its mate’s armor.
The saliva of this ancient monster causes a terrible oxidation reaction upon contact with living creatures.
[Mate: Touaki, Touaki has arrived! It’s Touaki! Squad, spread out!]
Tuaki, the ancient nightmare.
Its characteristic feature is its six-pronged jaws.
Although they originally had grayish-white bodies and wings that allowed them to fly at high speeds, these ones were different.
Just like a troll, the volcanic rock clings to the skin like armor… no, like a dragon’s scales.
[Mate: Even though the weight has increased and the flight speed has slowed down, the impact force has doubled. Everyone, be careful!]
However, not all griffins were as agile as Mayfin.
More than a few griffins were torn to pieces in agony, and their riders fell mid-air only to be swallowed by the Tuaki’s maw.
One of the nightmares that decorated the ‘Black Summer’ and also tormented the Ristar Party during the 12th century turmoil, the 5th High Kun Tark, Clan Kaltquorin.
[Mate: Your Majesty! It is impossible to maintain position with this kind of circling flight! Please allow individual formation combat!]
In the 12th century, it is said that among the Tuaqi there was one that was so large that it exceeded the standard size, called the Puladon (desert wind).
Is it just huge?
According to the records of Archmage Lin, it was said to be 2 to 3 times faster than the normal Tuaki, ignoring the mass laws of Providence.
[Cheongseong: Permission granted. Finish the cover mission. Halbaron, have you secured the firing position?]
[Halvaron: We are forming a barrage formation above the gates. The barrage will be ready in 30 seconds.]
[Cheongseong: I entrust you with the task of protecting our forces. Now, Bigyeok, Seonjeon, and Maengjin should cooperate and retreat to the Northeast Railroad Station. I will take care of the Bloody Cathedral by myself.]
At this time, the group that fought against the non-combat corps was a group that captured and selected only large and fast species like Puladon (of course, there was no one as big as Puladon) and gathered the best riders.
The name is Puladokunin.
Mate was both shocked and relieved as he shot down two of them with Gierda’s arrows.
‘I’m glad I’m here and not Niven.’
If Niven Alter Volvier, the junior who leads the Piljung Corps, had come here, it would have been a big problem. He is still immature in many ways.
[Mate: Niven! What’s the situation at the train station?]
[Niven: This is Piljung. We’re currently working with the Iron City Corps’ Mozna to desperately load refugees onto trains and defend the train station, but we’re running low on ammunition!]
[Mate: Same here. Those damn Tuakis… … In order to protect Seon-Gyeon and Maeng-Jin, we need to retreat and reorganize for a moment, but we don’t have any spare shells?]
[Halvaron: I have personally prepared shells for you poor souls. Come to the northeast gate.]
[Mozuna: This is crazy… … so arrogant that I thought Ain and the fairies were bad guys, but how can they be so sweet?]
[Zeroni: Mozuna, if you make one more racist remark like that, you’ll die by my hand. Command your troop properly.]
At that moment, the light swirling around the floating Qing star exploded in all directions.
There was life in that light.
All the demons that were touched by that light… … that is, the bodies of the Tuakis were wrapped around by the light like tree roots, twisted, crushed, and burned.
[Cheongseong: The door opens. I enter the bloody cathedral.]
The form of Cheongseong has become a ray of light in the shape of Yongin this time.
A beam of light descends sharply down the spiral staircase leading to the bloody cathedral and lands underground.
A murderous fever was boiling over, and the futuristic facilities of were groaning, sparking and flickering.
[Cheongseong: It seems that the seal has already begun to collapse. From now on, you must all withdraw from the city within 3 hours. Hurry. That’s all.]
