Chapter 409

Episode 409 Dilemma (6)

It was very easy to lure the dragon slayer and his men outside.

There is a saying that the enemy inside is the scariest, right?

Inspired by Jun, he gave false information to Noark’s explorer Gwangmyeong, who found Gwangmyeong before he knew it, and he was caught right away.

[…There are about 30 explorers from the royal family?]

“Yes! It seems that they have crossed the Ice Rock!”

[Didn’t you say I was chasing you behind your back? For now, maintain the status quo until I arrive.]

“Yes!”

Hee hee, are you fooling me again?

I felt it in Larcas’ labyrinth, but in a way, he’s a very naive guy.

Even then, if I hadn’t given up on ‘controlled wishes’ and given me time, I wouldn’t have been driven to that point and had my sword taken away.

“Let’s go, then.”

After luring out the dragon slayer, we headed south of the ‘dragon’s core’.

I didn’t have to worry about meeting them on the way because the lines overlapped.

Because we have light.

[Where is the current location?]

“The western area of the dragon’s simcheo.”

[It’s still moving west. Are you

going to ‘Iron Falls’?]

[i get it. We’ll head there too, so if there’s any change in movement, call me immediately.]

“Yes!”

At this rate, by the time he arrives at ‘Iron Falls’ in the west, we should be in front of his base.

Even if we urgently return after being contacted, we’ll be gone for a long time when he returns here.

“There is a group of Noarks ahead.”

“I’ll hide here and wait until the stop guys pass by.”

Minimizing the battle like that and continuing the forced march for two days, a vast wilderness area came out.

Well, the radius of vision is narrow, so the distance you can see is limited.

Anyway, that’s not what’s important.

“At last it is a gray field.”

gray plains. It

is an intermediate area between the Dragon Mountains, the center of the continent, and the Dragon

‘s core, the northernmost area.

“Contrary to what I expected, it’s quiet. I thought there would be many people wandering around since it’s used as a base.”

“It must be that the main unit is attracting attention.”

This expedition plan is a kind of diversionary operation.

While the Royal Family Army, who entered the Dark Continent through the standard route, is engaged in a close battle with Noark’s main force with the Dragon Mountains as the border, we strike from behind.

“From here on, even if it’s slowing down, move as stealthily as possible.”

“I will instruct you to increase the distance between the scout and the main force. So that the enemy’s presence can be sensed from farther away.”

“Okay, I’ll leave the detailed troop management up to you.”

After entering the gray field, they moved with more caution, but the battle continued nonetheless.

Yes, the labyrinth is originally a place full of monsters.

No matter how you avoid people, you can’t avoid monsters.

“Killed Void Ant EXP +4.”

“Killed Dark Crystal EXP +6.”

“Killed Minum EXP +5.”

“Killed Hell Ghoul EXP +4.”

“Killed Zambet. …….?

?…….?

Various monsters climbed out of gaps wide open like a rice field during a drought.

Among them, there were also level 3 monsters.

“It’s Vol-herchan!”

That guy who also belongs to my shield Baba’s final breeding tree.

Of course, the battle itself wasn’t too difficult.

“What are you all doing? Catch it first? Open the gap first!”

“Warriors just block! The wizard will give the final blow anyway!”

In Ice Rock, I killed three level 3 monsters at once, but it’s only about one.

Even we are full now.

coo-!

Although it lasted for a long time as an object with the highest defense, Vol-Herchan eventually collapsed to the ground and disappeared as light.

“Vol-Herchan was defeated. EXP +7.”

The essence didn’t appear, but it wasn’t particularly regrettable.

After all, this guy’s essence has already been obtained.

‘It’s a bit ironic.’

I didn’t know that I could get this essence first before taking the first kill. Unlike the game that progressed steadily, in reality, the order of integer rooting is arbitrary.

‘Is this how the snowball that ate the ogre essence in the early and middle stages rolls?

I suddenly thought of that, but when I think about it, the starting point of this abnormal growth must be ‘corpse golem’.

If that essence hadn’t come out, I wouldn’t have been able to kill the vampire duke Cambormere either.

“I’ve heard that the Schuitz Scouting Party has found their base.”

Even after entering the gray field like that, after moving about a day more, we finally arrived near the target.

It was clear that they had definitely come because there was a huge tower-shaped sculpture standing there and around a hundred explorers guarding it.

Just one doubtful thing.

“……The number is much smaller than expected.”

“Looks like the Regal Bagos took us out with more troops than expected.”

“Really? If that’s the case, it’s fortunate, but it’s not certain, so I’ll get the surrounding information first.”

“Then I will send the scouting party again.”

“What about the rest of the crew?”

“There will be a battle soon, so tell me to recover as much health as possible.”

“What about the declaration of destruction?”

“Tell them not to use it, in case they might find us over there. We cannot lose everything while coveting something small. When a monster appears, just tell them to kill it as quietly as possible.”

“I’ll tell you that.”

After having the scouts made up of Minkae with stealth skills explore the surroundings, the rest recovered their energy while hiding in the space at the bottom of the cliff.

And the same goes for me.

“You look tired.”

As I leaned back and rested, Amelia approached and handed me a piece of beef jerky.

Ice Rock didn’t give you a single piece of beef jerky.

It remains here, right?

squeak squeak.

Once I received it, I was chewing on it when Amelia said something ominous.

“Suits, things work out so smoothly.”

“Nimiral……”

You finally said that.

I haven’t mentioned it until now, just thinking about it to myself.

“……?”

“Never mind I didn’t tell you. So what are you trying to say? Did you find anything suspicious?”

“It’s not like that…”

Amelia blurted out at my words.

It’s not like he said anything like that because he didn’t have any reason.

“Don’t worry. It’s not that things don’t go smoothly, it’s because I’ve gone through all the hardships in advance.”

“Did you do everything beforehand?”

“We went through all kinds of hardships while crossing the ice rock. The traitor bastard was also hiding.”

“It’s… it is. I’m sorry. Take my word for it.”

Having said that, I was already very concerned, but I didn’t dare to show it.

I just keep thinking in my head.

‘One hundred people …….’

With this amount of troops, the mission itself was at a level that could succeed without difficulty.

The scouting team only looked at it from afar, but it seems that there are not many people who can be called named class.

‘This is probably because I didn’t think the enemy would come from behind.’

Noark’s main force is all being used to hold the wide front to prevent the royal army from crossing the mountain. Of course, since it’s a key base, we had

troops on standby, led

by the dragon slayer Regal Bagos, but…

It is now in perfect condition.

‘There’s no Hans around.’

Now the problem is that the only variable that the scouting team might bring is …

“The Schuitz scouting team has arrived.”

“What do you say?”

“They say there is no one within a 5km radius.”

As a result of the check, there were no variables to be noted in the surroundings.

I was worried that I might have dug a trap because things went so well.

Soon, I struggled to shake off the ominousness.

“Tell those who have been outside that you did a good job and let them rest. Well, I won’t be able to rest for long though.”

“…Are you trying to hold a grudge?”

“Okay, get ready soon.”

It is time to end the long expedition.

***

Standing in the middle of the dark wilderness.

Even though it is hidden in the darkness of the labyrinth and cannot be confirmed with the naked eye…

Staring at the base of Noark beyond that.

“…….”

Waiting in silence.

With the expedition members ready to run at any time.

cooong cooong cooong cooong-!

Before long, a loud noise began to echo through the darkness.

Those with a bit of experience as an explorer would instantly recognize the noise as the sound of a large monster walking.

“They’re magic beasts!”

“Come out everyone!”

Beyond the quiet darkness, it becomes noisy.

I couldn’t see it with my eyes, but each of them’s expressions were clearly drawn.

“What the fuck is this number!”

Embarrassment.

“Eh, there’s no luck or loss. What are you all doing! Why don’t you take out your weapon first?”

petulance.

“Why did the monsters come here?”

and question.

Of course, there were also those who spoke the correct answer.

“Wake up! It’s an enemy! Someone led the monsters!”

Is it because they are from Noark who study all kinds of plunder?

quick-witted

It’s obvious, but it’s not a coincidence that hordes of monsters are coming from all sides.

After confirming that there was no one within a radius of 5km, I ordered a scouting party to gather all the nearby monsters.

Since the aggro has been passed, the scouting team should have turned on stealth and returned this way by now.

“what?”

“An enemy…?”

“Damn it, could it be that they are the ones Regal Vagos said?”

“Support! Hurry up and ask for support!”

Uh huh Where are you going to call support?

If I had come anyway, everything would have been over.

“Kaislan.”

As I chanted briefly, Kaislan next to me shouted, raising a flag with the royal family pattern on it.

“Shoot!!”

At the same time, the wizards, archers, and supernatural magicians who had already completed their casting fired their special moves all at once.

Aaaaaaaaaagh-!

An attack made while monsters were rushing in.

One of the enemy’s formations was completely destroyed and a hole was formed, and the clever monsters did not miss the gap.

“Where the hell are you!

Where

are

you

!

”

_ As soon as the casting was finished, we mobilized all our firepower to fire from a distance, and the enemies also identified our location, but

…

“There they are!”

“There they are!

” In the midst

of

fighting monsters and

seeming

hectic

.

Quaaaaang-

!

It was obvious who the sender was.

That’s because there was only one person who contacted me on a fictional day with this message stone on the way here.

Click. There was nothing to

do other than watch, so I connected the communication without much worry.

That’s it!]

An evil command that falls as soon as the connection is made

Oh, by the way, the last contact was at the edge of the continent, so it was a report that we had to come there,

right? There is.]

The Eye of the Sky is the name attached to the mana wave emitter that acts as a transmission tower

.

I think I know why the royal family was so frantic about destroying the Eye of the Sky. There must have been more than one loss through that extensive communication network. [Are you ignoring me now! Answer me! Where are you now

? That’s right?]

Since I didn’t have to lie anymore, I answered honestly.

“Me? The front yard of the neighbour’s house.”

Adequate personality is definitely one of the tactics.

After saying that, I waited for an interesting reaction, but surprisingly, he didn’t say anything for a long time.

The words I heard while checking to see if contact was lost weren’t particularly interesting.

[ ……Who are you.]

Did you ask even if it was a live octopus in your mouth.

Grabbing the weight. ”

If you

know, come find something?

” there is. Okay, I’m busy right now, so see you later. I went there after seeing the sea.” [Even if I do

n’t know who you are, don’t think about dying gracefully

.

I can’t even save him.

Isn’t this a line he said once before?

“Yes

, work hard.” [What?

Is this a joke ?

A report came in from Lava.

“Shuitz, the monsters are almost all sorted out now!”

Desperately fighting back, the enemies had already eliminated most of the monsters.

Therefore…

“Assault formation!”

“Forward the line… ….!”

They stormed into the battlefield before reorganization.

“Do uh uh uh uh oh!”

The battle formation with veteran warriors at the forefront.

The Noarks also built a wall made up of warriors to prevent this

. It is the shield wall

that is

the basis of the battle of

“Block Aaaaaaaaaaaaaa

!

”

Of course, we were the winners of the contest.

That’s why, in terms of the average level of warriors, we were superior to that other side…

Crucially.

“Niaro Campbell cast [Healing Wave].”

“Benjamin Orman Casting this [Moonlight of Regeneration]…? ?·······?

?······? ?

There are no priests over there?

How are they going to stop the warriors who recklessly charge at the risk of injury?

“Breakthrough! ”

The warriors pierced the front lines with a force of one hundred and one hundred, and our expeditionary force quickly dug into the gap. It’s

not empty, but the center is empty.

“Shield wall!”

We changed our formation to a circular defensive formation.

Then …….

“We move while maintaining the front line!”

Now the situation has changed and we move towards the center while dealing with enemies flocking from all sides.

That’s right, our goal is not to annihilate, but to strike

. ‘s eyes!”

“Stop it!”

Soon after realizing our goal, the guys attacked more and more recklessly, but it was not enough to break through us, who were united as one over the ice rock.

In the first place, there are many priests on our side.

“stop!”

As I was moving while dealing with enemies, I arrived in front of the ‘Eye of the Sky’ before I knew it.

With our backs to it, we desperately held on.

It’s because there’s something I need to do first before destroying it…

“Shuitz! Come over here quickly.”

At that time, Aquraba called me with a loud scream.

“Come on! We’ve got a problem!”

what? problem?

“Grexon. This side please.”

“Leave your cancer and go!”

I hurriedly left my seat to the warrior next to me and headed to the rear.

Aqurava was waiting for me, standing awkwardly in front of the ‘Eye in the Sky’ we surrounded.

“What’s going on?”

“I entered the Sat communication coordinates and tried to contact them several times, but I can’t connect to the main unit at all!”

Write it down. This is a big deal.
