Chapter 40: (1)
Kaiyan watched with tension as the black masses collided with the ground.
Quaaang! Quaaaang!
Whats going on? he wondered.
The impact was so intense that the stone floor dented.
But apart from that, contrary to his expectations, nothing happened.
Why did those creatures throw?
Dont worry about stuff like that. Lets focus on the monsters coming down, someone advised.
The soldiers, who had been slightly tense, prepared themselves to face the descending aerial monsters with a simple mindset since nothing had happened. However
This is strange. The sense of danger is still lingering. Activate Aura!
If it wasnt a malfunction in his senses, the danger was not over yet.
To prepare for an unknown danger, Kaiyan activated Aura and put on the items he had set aside. Right now, surviving the danger was more important than controlling his power.
Somethings off. Lets step back for a moment, Kaiyan suggested.
What are you talking about?
Kaiyan, whats wrong?
First, he quickly took Uncle Jeff and Uncle Max and stepped back.
Although he wanted to immediately warn the soldiers to be careful, there was a high chance that they would dismiss it as nonsense since they were unaware of the sense of danger.
Right now, my words will only add to the confusion.
Whoosh!
Hmm? Whats that sound? one of the soldiers guarding the entrance to the 12th Point tilted his head as if something was strange.
What? another soldier asked.
This is weird. Im sure I heard something
Whoosh!
Huh! Cant you hear anything? It sounds like the fluttering of insect wings, the first soldier described.
Really?
Where is that sound coming from?
Below
As the soldier said, there was a faint vibration sound.
Even the soldiers who hadnt heard it at first began to realize the sound as it grew louder and started searching for its source. While they were looking around, they found it immediately.
The black thing they threw? someone exclaimed.
Quaaaang! Quaaaang!
Quaaaang!
An explosive sound that made the ears feel muffled for a moment.
Wha- What just happened?
What the hell is going on?
Unless their eyes were playing tricks on them, the black mass that emitted vibrations had definitely exploded. And it was tremendously enormous.
As a result of the explosion, the sturdy stone floor cracked, and its aftermath instantly engulfed the Panielun Fortress.
Crash!
Its shaking!
Everyone, stay calm! Dont break formation!
Damn it! That was the cause!
The entire cave of the 12th Defense Point was shaking. It felt like an earthquake had occurred.
The fortress, which was so solid, was gradually breaking apart and releasing clouds of dust, showing how severe the shaking was.
While the Commander of the 12th outpost was trying to calm down the shaken soldiers, the situation was not good.
The explosion is not over yet.
Quaaaang!
The black mass exploded once again.
Damn it. What the hell is happening?
Kaiyan, did you tell us to retreat because of this?
Uncle Max and Uncle Jeff asked while holding their trembling bodies close to the ground.
Ill explain later! For now, we need to get out of here.
What? Get out of here?
He didnt know how durable the Panielun Fortress was.
Perhaps it could withstand the impact of this explosion without collapsing.
The problem is that my sense of danger is still ringing like crazy.
It seemed like it was telling him to get out of there immediately.
When its difficult to deal with the situation wisely, its best to follow ones instincts.
Yes! So, be prepared. Sir Knight! We need to escape from here!
Before leaving the fortress, he called the old knight. He wanted to take all the members of at least the 7th Special Unit with them.
To do that, he had to convince either Tarien or the old knight, and it seemed that the old knight was more likely to listen to him than the foolish Tarien.
What are you talking about? the old knight furrowed his brows and asked.
From his perspective, it would be difficult to understand his words to leave the fortress all at once.
The fortress
The fortress?
Its going to collapse. We need to get out of here.
For a moment, he thought about lying to him, but he honestly told him, even if he wasnt sure.
Can you take responsibility for what youre saying?
Yes! Im sure.
Hmm, I see.
Fortunately, the old knight didnt dismiss his words about the fortress collapsing as nonsense.
Its helpful that I had a close relationship with him.
From the beginning, Kaiyan knew there was a high chance that the old knight would listen to him, which is why he wanted to take the 7th Special Unit with them.
If that wasnt the case, he would have had no choice but to leave with just the two old men.
Tarien, its an emergency. You need to escape before the fortress collapses.
What! Is that true?
Yes. So, hurry and get out. Let the lieutenant command the soldiers!
Tarien, seemingly trusting the old knight, didnt say anything in response to the news that the fortress was collapsing and immediately started preparing to escape.
All members of the 7th Special Unit, gather here! Were going to evacuate the fortress!
The lieutenant, following the orders of the old knight, gathered the soldiers in one place.
Fortunately, the soldiers were aware of the severity of the situation and acted quickly.
Wait! What are you trying to do?
At that moment, the Commander of the 12th Defense Point shouted toward them.
Seeing them heading towards the exit to get out, he hurriedly ran to them.
Were going to escape before the fortress collapses. So, you should also gather your soldiers and escape!
What? Ha It seems you dont know anything. The Panielun Fortress wont collapse from this level of impact. Besides, there have been no orders from the headquarters.
What an idiot!
Even though it was visibly crumbling, he claimed it was fine! What exactly did he mean by fine?
Moreover, the explosions were getting more intense. The harpies were still throwing black masses toward the ground.
If things continued like this, it was only a matter of time before the fortress collapsed. If he had any sense, he would evacuate the fortress immediately.
Haah Lets at least get out ourselves.
From Kaiyans perspective, being certain that the fortress would collapse, every moment wasted here felt too valuable.
He felt sorry for the Allied forces, but he had to save as many people as possible. If he hesitated, everyone would die together.
Were going!
No, you cant!
