The Anti-Intellectualism Demon King’s World Invasion - Chapter 69

Episode 69

For now, I continued walking along the road and looked around.

I could see trash piled up on both sides, like sand dunes.

The valley-like terrain seemed perfect for being attacked and unable to move forward if only the rear was blocked.

It struck me that this member had left his signature, almost as if by association.

First, he signaled to Bomi and Jinman to be on guard.

Bomi took out her longbow and prepared to load arrows at any time.

Jinman took out the police shield he had been carrying on his back and stood close to Bomi.

The police shields collected from the flooded city of Seoul were made by welding together iron plates.

It got heavier because of the wind, but thanks to that, the bullets couldn’t penetrate it.

I held the golden shield in my left hand.

Then he took out his trident and changed it into a three-sectioned spear.

We’ve done a lot of testing, but the fork never grew large enough or showed any utility to be called a trident.

Since it is a combat-ready weapon, it may show its true form during battle, but it was too risky to take it out when the enemy had not yet been identified.

I thought it might be better to ask Dr. Oh to investigate later.

“It seems like there’s an ambush, but let’s continue on. Don’t tell anyone else, just keep it to Commissioner Son.”

I whispered quietly to Commissioner Son.

Commissioner Son glanced around and immediately understood what I meant.

“I see. Are you deliberately going into the limbs to weed out traitors?”

I nodded and looked around, looking for places I could use as cover.

When we found a suitable place, a bang, a gunshot rang out.

When I raised my head, I saw people on top of both hills.

Unlike the commissioners, they were armed with proper firearms, including automatic rifles and pistols.

A man wearing a helmet and armor like a medieval knight shouted.

“The Dream Island rebels are all gathered here. The defense general himself has come to capture you. Drop your weapons and surrender immediately.”

On the way, I heard from Commissioner Son about the military system on Trash Island.

The defense general said he would command the defense forces organized to prevent an external enemy from landing on the island.

So I was worried that maybe they had brought a machine gun like the M60.

Fortunately, when I scanned it, the machine gunner was not visible, perhaps due to the unit’s movement speed.

As the Bangju Church took power, the military leadership, including the defense general, naturally changed.

The new general of defense was an unknown figure who wore a helmet, but I had no idea it would be a pointed helmet like that.

The committee members were startled by the appearance of the defense general and the defense force and turned around to try to run away.

However, this member and several members who appeared to be his collaborators were blocking the retreat with weapons drawn.

The member shouted.

“You heard the General of Defense? Everyone, give up useless resistance and lay down your weapons.”

“What are you? You said you wanted to create such a perfect dream island, and then you joined the Ark Church?”

Commissioner Son shouted, waving his hand in frustration.

“I couldn’t stand to see the ignorant crowd destroying the democracy of Dream Island.”

“Politics is all about showing off, but you don’t know anything about democracy. Foolish crowd? That’s democracy. Sometimes you make wrong decisions, and sometimes you choose hope. Everything may seem to be going backwards, but if you don’t have faith that you’re moving forward, even if it’s just a little bit, you can’t do anything.”

“Tch! The person who sells democracy for a bottle of water really speaks well.”

The committee member laughed.

“You can still sell democracy for a bottle of water. But the Ark Church will sell us out. That’s why they say no.”

“Haha. We’ll sell you out. We’ll create a new society with the Ark Church.”

While the two were talking, I quietly walked around the crowd and spoke.

“When I start running, run over there and hide.”

The hiding place I saw had a space inside like a cave, and there was a large iron plate erected at the entrance, so it was possible to hide.

However, on diagonal hills, the square was exposed.

“If I run, I’ll make it so the guys on that high ground can’t shoot at the hiding place.”

Bomi and Jinman nodded at my instructions.

“Haha! Haha!”

The member burst into a villainous, slimy laugh.

“Commissioner Son is really quick-witted. It doesn’t matter whether we surrender or not. Why? Because we’re all going to die here.”

“Hey, Commissioner. How long are you going to keep talking? Let’s just get this over with.”

The defense general said something as if he was bored of waiting.

“Ah. Yes. That’s right. Let’s give these guys a bullet of justice… … .”

“Hey, you guys! Catch me!”

I started running forward, screaming loudly.

Then the soldiers on both hills reflexively turned their gazes toward me.

“ah!”

“omg!”

There was no gunshot, but screams rang out.

Bomi followed my instructions and immediately pulled the bowstring back to fire.

The soldiers positioned diagonally across the refuge area were hit by arrows and began to roll down.

The surprised commissioner and soldiers shouted.

“What! What happened?”

“It’s an arrow. Avoid it!”

“No, it’s a sniper rifle. How does it hit every target?”

One shot, one kill.

One by one, they fell with each arrow.

Taking advantage of the soldiers’ confusion, people ran to the refuge I had told them about.

“You idiots. Come to your senses. Just fire back. No. Shoot indiscriminately! Kill them all, not a single one!”

At the direction of the defense general, the soldiers opened fire.

Ta-tang. Bang! Bang!

But by then, people had already gone into hiding.

Jinman blocked the entrance to the hideout with an iron-clad police shield, and Bomi shot arrows repeatedly from inside.

Not only the soldiers diagonally opposite the hideout, but also the surrounding area were swept away.

The terrified soldiers hid behind the hill.

However, Bomi’s arrows were able to draw a flexible parabolic trajectory, unlike the straight trajectory of a gun.

This means that the impact point can be adjusted behind cover.

Swish!

The arrow flew over the hill in a parabolic arc.

“iced coffee!”

The cries of startled soldiers were heard, along with screams.

“What is this? Is this an arrow with eyes?”

“Shoot! Attack, you guys!”

The defense general urged the soldiers on, but the positions that could have been used to target the entrance to the hideout were scorched earth, and the soldiers were too scared to go.

Then he shouted at the group of committee members.

“Hey, Commissioner! Quick, attack that damn bow.”

“Us?”

The surprised committee member asked with a puzzled look on his face.

“Then who’s attacking? You guys are right in front. Charge. Quickly.”

As the group, including the commissioner, hesitated, the defense general snatched the gun from the soldier next to him and fired.

bang!

“iced coffee!”

The person next to this member was shot and fell to the ground.

“Anyone who doesn’t charge will get a bullet in their head.”

Under the general’s threats, the group of committee members had no choice but to move towards the entrance to the hideout.

But as they tried to stand behind each other, the defense general fired his gun again.

A man who was struggling to stand at the back collapsed.

Then they screamed, “Ah! Aah!” and ran blindly toward the entrance of the hideout.

The commissioner ran towards the entrance and fired his shotgun, but of course it failed to penetrate the armored police shields.

Instead, a counterattack came from behind the shield.

Arrows shot from the crossbow poured out.

Those who were hit by arrows fell.

The commissioner held the arrow stuck in his side and pleaded.

“I was wrong. Please save me!”

“Ah! Really! Useless. I told the Governor that I didn’t need them, but you insisted on recruiting those guys. Tsk tsk!”

Bang! Bang!

The general who had been clicking his tongue fired his gun.

The fallen people stopped groaning and everyone became quiet.

“Hey! 2nd Platoon! We’ll cover here, so advance down the hill and destroy the bows!”

The defense general gave instructions and looked toward the opposite hill.

“Hey! What’s going on? Where did 2nd Platoon go?”

The surprised general looked around and found me standing alone on the hill.

I smiled brightly and waved.

“What happened? Could it be you?”

I wasn’t running blindly to buy people time to escape to a safe place.

At first, I ran forward as if I was running away, but while the hill opposite the hideout was distracted by Bomi’s archery, I climbed up the hill towards the hideout.

This was because the easiest way to seal off and destroy the hideout was to come down from the hill towards the hideout.

The structure of the entrance made it difficult to see the back.

If someone approached from behind and threw a grenade, the hideout would obviously turn into a sea of ​​blood.

We had to deal with the soldiers on the hill towards the hideout as quickly as possible.

The soldiers concentrated their fire on my charge.

But it couldn’t penetrate the golden shield.

I ran quickly and approached the guys.

The guys looked visibly flustered when their main weapon, a firearm, failed to work.

“Bayonet. Everyone, prepare for bayonet.”

I cooked the one who was screaming and not knowing what to do first.

He thrust a three-pronged spear into my neck.

“Sergeant!”

As soon as the commander fell, the unit fell apart in an instant.

As I cut off one of the men’s heads with my shield, the soldiers threw down their guns and started running away.

I didn’t bother to chase them, I just picked up the gun that fell on the ground.

After clearing this hill, I found that this member had been shot and killed by the defense general.

Only then did the defense general realize the strategy for attacking the refuge and gave orders to head towards the hill on the other side.

But the soldiers were already gone.

“You said the mercenaries were coming, and you saved a great guy. I admit it. But the reason you’re standing there is because of my mistake. If I had sent the 2nd platoon down the rat hole first, they would have all died.”

“Right. I guess so. Thanks for the mistake!”

“Huh! Is this really a thank you?”

Suddenly the defense general raised his hand toward me.

ping!

I heard a swooshing sound.

At that moment, I felt something was wrong and raised my shield.

Ting.

Something hit the shield and bounced off.

“No, you’re blocking my Secret Stinger. Hey! That shield! Where did you get that?”

“I won’t teach to cowardly people who just memorize things.”

“It’s not a secret weapon, it’s a secret stinger, you damn mercenary! Covering fire!”

The defense general shouted and ran down the hill towards the refuge.

Then the soldiers started firing concentrated shots at me.

You pointy-helmet guy! Do you think you’re the only one with a bodyguard?
