Solo Swordmaster

Chapter 359

#359. I was waiting.

[Ah, I got it.]

Maybe it’s because of everything I’ve been through.

The moment I heard Limon’s voice over the walkie-talkie.

Even in the midst of this, Umbaru, who had maintained some composure, hurriedly moved.

Right after Umbaru and the Maasai pulled some of the outermost stone pillars with a truck prepared in advance.

Hwareuk!!!

The psionic flow twisted.

The flames that spread out in all directions began to circle between the stone pillars as if lost and wandering.

The soldiers who saw the scene were barely relieved.

But that reassurance came too soon.

Like anger at losing the goal.

This is because the whirlpool of flames swelled bigger and stronger and blew the heat up to the stone pillars.

Qurrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!

“…!”

A stone pillar that bends the direction of the flames in all directions.

A wave of flame that gets hotter as it pushes away.

When the heads of the Continental Alliance widen their eyes when they see the clash of two forces that fiercely confront each other and cause explosions in succession.

bang!!!

The stone pillars, unable to withstand the heat beyond their limit, exploded like pebbles thrown into the flames.

It was just the beginning.

Kwang kwa kwa kwa kwa kwa kwa kwang!

It seems that momentum has risen by knocking down a single stone pillar.

The whirlpool of flames ran rampant like a beast and swept away other stone pillars one after another.

When the soldiers saw five or six stone pillars shattered in an instant, they were completely blue.

“Geongon Opening.”

[Okay!]

Deed deed deed deed.

Limon’s voice rang through the air once more.

A strange thing happened.

As if being shattered by flames was an illusion.

The ruins of the collapsed stone pillar disappeared as if they were melting, and a fine stone pillar appeared in its original place instead.

Quarreung Quarreung!

The flames gained momentum again and attacked the stone pillar.

But the effort was futile.

No matter how many times it burns and collapses.

Whether you try to pass between the pillars.

The stone pillars disappeared like a mirage and reappeared repeatedly, blocking the flames.

“What crazy!”

“How can such a barrier…!”

The heads of the Continental Alliance opened their mouths wide.

Of course, it made more than 10,000 Egyptian soldiers wander.

It’s not enough to block that torrent of flame so easily, it’s a barrier that regenerates infinitely.

what a great thing that is

For those who could understand it to some extent, it was mind-boggling.

It was more so because I directly participated in the civil engineering work.

This is because they knew all too well who made it, even if they didn’t know what principle it was made of.

So it was.

Their gaze is inadvertently forward.

In other words, the reason why the focus was on the tanned blonde boy who tunes in just by spitting out a few words.

‘Indeed, a genius military leader!’

‘Are you saying that name wasn’t a false name?’

‘I thought she was a bully who luckily became the concubine of an eastern outlaw, but now I see there’s a reason.’

‘Maybe the reason why the African tyrant stopped the war with that kid as his sidekick was because he recognized its value.’

‘Then…’

Surprise and admiration soon turned into other emotions beyond envy and jealousy.

They are also heads of state.

They said they were forming an alliance now, but they had no choice but to think about what would happen after the war ended.

And in their eyes, the existence of a boy who was weak enough to act as a mistress (?) but could do such a thing seemed so desirable.

To the extent that it blatantly reveals greed in both eyes.

Creepy!

“…!”

but right after that.

they hardened

Like a mother bird guarding her eggs.

It was because the masked woman who stood behind Limon and looked straight ahead turned to them.

Rose’s mood was calm, and it seemed like our eyes met by chance.

Even so, they had no choice but to swallow dry saliva.

because I saw

A face that has erased the faint smile that always stayed on his lips, and blue eyes that showed no kindness whatsoever.

Those eyes are cold.

Deep as the abyss and creepy.

I get goosebumps just looking at it.

Those who met her eyes even once shook their heads in a cold sweat.

However, Rose did not take her eyes off her no matter how much time passed, and the intangible pressure deepened.

Before their hearts stopped, unable to withstand the pressure.

“What’s wrong with you?”

“Nothing.”

“For something like that, I felt psionic…”

“Looks like the psionic leaked inadvertently because I was nervous before an important fight.”

“okay? Well, it’s not worth it.”

Calm.

softly.

Limon nodded at Rose’s answer with a faint smile as always.

And the chieftains, who were out of breath as if they had fallen into a frozen lake and escaped, made up their minds with their heads bowed.

It’s ambition and nabal.

Let’s never fight Rose.

And he said he would never pay attention to that blond tanned boy.

It was because everyone could understand just by looking at Rose’s gentle smile, as if her cold expression from earlier had been an illusion.

That boy was her evil, and whoever touched it would not be safe.

“Hmm, this is a bit risky, but I think you can endure it.”

Maybe I didn’t notice because I was concentrating on commanding.

Or did you not care?

It’s been a long time since I’ve been watching Jin’s movements without paying attention to the subtle changes in the atmosphere of the heads of the military government.

Rose calmly asked Limon, who finally took his eyes off the camp after the fierce flames had died down again.

“What are you planning to do now?”

“There is nothing grand enough to be called a plan. Now that it’s like this, it’s just a battle of perseverance.”

“You don’t seem to have any intention of taking a preemptive strike.”

“Because there is no need to see useless blood.”

Limon shrugged.

And he laughed at the Egyptian army, who had stopped even pouring out fire and had become quiet.

“Above all, isn’t that smoker princess not an easy opponent to the point where she’s only going to be beaten one-sidedly?”

“…you think you rate Hasneti quite highly.”

“If you overestimate the enemy, only the commander becomes soldier X, but if you underestimate the enemy, your subordinates end up in the coffin.”

“That is correct.”

What kind of feelings did you feel when you said that Hasneti was overrated?

I lowered my gaze for a moment.

Limon quietly asked Rose, who agreed with a light smile once again after hearing what was said.

“In that sense, I’m asking, but what is your sister going to do?”

“It is as I have already said.”

“Are you really going to be okay?”

“yes.”

There is a limit to tying up Hasneti with only an incomplete strategy, no matter how stone-plated eight-door gold rushing.

More than anything, this is a war he started.

So you have to finish it yourself.

Watching Rose speak without hesitation, Limon nodded.

“Then I will make the stage for you.”

“thank you.”

“If you are truly grateful, come back safely.”

“That’s…”

Rose hesitated to answer.

Limon cut it off.

“Don’t forget that you are already mine.”

“…!”

Recognizing her qualifications as a bride was not enough, and as long as she had a relationship with her, she became her own.

So I won’t allow you to get hurt on your own.

Rose, who widened her eyes at Limon, who pretended to be squeamish, finally got down on one knee with a smile as neat as a flower.

“If that is your wish.”

before leaving for the battlefield.

Like a knight wishing for a blessing.

holding his hand and kissing him.

With an earring in one ear, Rose swore victory to her partner.

* * *

Jinbeop (??).

A technique that uses resonance to amplify psionics and exerts specific effects.

The role of this jinbeop was also a big reason why the Seven Dragons were able to endure despite being called the Demonic Cult.

Its representative is Seokbyeongpalmungeumswajin.

It was an exorcism with eight effects that the Black Dragon clan, who were already good at tracheal strokes, completed after hundreds of years of research and improvement.

One common trick.

It was clear that each clan’s strength was only two or three effects.

Of course, there were many downsides to the Seokbyeongpalmun Geumrushjin.

Because of the combination of the jinbeop with the institution, it can only be used in places where the jin is installed in advance.

It takes a lot of money and time to install, and it is so delicate that only the Black Dragon clan can handle it, and there is a limit on how it can be stacked according to its capabilities.

Due to various problems, it is impossible to use it in the field.

Nevertheless, there is one reason why this method is considered one of the best in the Seven Dragons.

This is because when used in a defensive battle, it exerts enough utility to eat all its shortcomings.

In a place where camps are deployed, a single armed force can block a million troops, and once they fall into camp, it is possible to lock up even an incarnation.

“Why are you not breaking …!”

this moment.

That was the reason why Nadia was crying.

Been stuck here for days now.

In the meantime, she tried all means and methods to break the stone bottle and eight gates.

Even by knocking down stone pillars with firepower, tying up troops with ropes and sending them out, or even digging tunnels.

But the results were disastrous.

Of course, no matter what I did, I couldn’t get out of this meadow lined with eight stone pillars.

This is because even the unit that sent the task went missing.

Thousands of troops lost.

Half of the troops flew without a fight.

Nadia, who had gone through countless wars, had never experienced such a terrible situation.

“Did you find a solution to Nadia?”

“That’s…”

So it was.

Nadia had no choice but to bow her head in response to Hasneti’s question.

“As expected, I think we will have no choice but to break through with strength after taking time to cut off Jin’s durability.”

“How long does it take?”

“It will depend on Jin’s durability, but… I think it will take at least ten days.”

Nadia wanted to cry.

It was not enough to put the beloved princess in such a predicament that he could only suggest a principled solution.

Even if it was burned right away, there was nothing to say.

“is it.”

But Hasneti didn’t reprimand her.

As if I knew that.

He just nodded slowly.

Looking at the eight stone pillars surrounding the meadow for a long time.

Hasneti opened her mouth in a muffled voice.

“Have the remaining armed forces guard the army, and bring only the Yeomryongdae to follow.”

“yes?”

jerk jerk.

For a while, I was bewildered by the unexpected instructions.

Nadia immediately freaked out.

It was because Hasneti was walking towards the stone pillars that lined the meadow.

“The late princess?”

How many soldiers went missing because they approached that stone pillar recklessly.

Nadia, who had been through it before, was taken aback when she saw it.

And he hesitated whether to stop Hasneti.

But that’s just for a moment.

Beep!

Soon determined, Nadia gave instructions over the walkie-talkie and blew her whistle.

Then he chased after thirty fighters and Hasneti.

Because it was her duty as an aide to protect and support Hasneti under any circumstances.

Squeak.

how far did you move

when they approached within a certain distance of the stone pillar.

A change has happened.

Without realizing it, the Egyptian army waiting behind them had disappeared from sight as if they were melting.

Hasneti still didn’t stop.

Skip the stone pillars.

round the mountain-like rocks.

over the cliff-like pillars.

Until we arrive at the middle of the meadow lined with eight stone pillars again.

Hasneti, who was silently walking and walking, took a cigarette out of her coat pocket, took a bite and lit it.

“This should be enough.”

All around are empty meadows and stone pillars.

When she opened her mouth quietly as if to speak to someone, she swallowed a puff of smoke.

A calm voice was heard.

“Yes, we don’t need to wait any longer.”

That moment.

Nadia’s eyes widened.

Like moving the stage of a play.

It wasn’t just because the green meadows suddenly disappeared and the scenery of the summit of Kilimanjaro appeared.

Since when have you been there?

The blue hair of a woman standing tall on a single stone pillar embarrassed Nadia.

However, unlike that sudden appearance, she did not show any particular hostility.

He only had a faint smile.

“I was waiting for you, Hasneti.”
