Episode 1219
The battle to capture Ciel the remaining savior in the Cave of Beginnings was also progressing fiercely.
A pyramid-shaped triangular structure directly controlled by Ciel was floating on the sea and strange sand monsters were constantly pouring out of it.
In opposition to this fighters from the Dark Alliance Holy Federation and Neutral Zone fortified the Cave of Beginnings and fought fiercely.
In the meantime Dana the Virgin of Judgment and Quinter the crow agent led their subordinates directly into the structure.
Meanwhile the battle was unfolding so quickly that the joint command staff was in an uproar. All kinds of discussions and instructions were pouring in while looking at the unfolded mana screen.
“The number of injured has rapidly increased to 20!”
“There are too many monsters coming out of the structure!”
A necromancer who was watching the situation spoke to Lorraine with his back turned.
“Second Commander the scale of the battle is bigger than expected. “Even now we are requesting additional support from all over the continent…”
“no.”
Lorraine dressed in uniform shook her head coolly.
“Even so with all the power concentrated on the Rune League the defenses of other regions became vulnerable. This may be a desperate move. “If we concentrate more troops here other areas may be in danger.”
If that happens the Rune League itself may be blamed for taking too much power. The barely constructed symbol of peace and cooperation is broken.
“We have to somehow fight with the available forces we have.”
Lorraine stood up.
“I’ll say it again the nature of this battle is not one of annihilation. The goal is to encourage the savior to use the ‘portal’. “If the savior escapes that dungeon will be useless.”
Fortunately there were no civilian casualties.
There is enough reason to continue the fight. Lorraine said in a charismatic voice.
“Please emphasize once again that the 3rd Corps’ fleet must have even more thorough maritime defenses.”
“yes!”
Phew.
Sernet who was waiting covered his mouth and laughed as if he was the worst. Lorraine pretended not to notice and was lost in thought.
‘Why can’t the savior escape through the portal yet? If you’re afraid of other people getting involved you’ll be fine now that you’re in the dungeon. ‘Do I need permission from another superior?’
In fact it was true that the longer the battle went on the more anxious I became.
Nephthys also said that the time of the world Simon passed through and the time of the continent would be different. There would be no problem if time here passed relatively quickly but what if it passed slowly?
An hour on this side could be a day or a week on the other side and in the meantime a savior might somehow find Simon and put him in danger.
‘We need to surround them stronger so they have no choice but to use portals to escape and to prevent monsters from leaking out. But with just the power I have now….’
“Commander!”
A man came running towards Lorraine panting.
“Two ships without clearance are heading towards the sand dungeon! “They have requested communication!”
Lorraine opened her eyes wide.
“Who on earth…! Connect right away.”
* * *
Shoot!
A ship waving the flag of the Dark Alliance was moving quickly through the waves.
“Let’s go!”
Elisa of the Ghost Fleet was running around on the deck and shouting loudly. The remaining Dark Alliance representatives also prepared for battle and checked their equipment and undead.
Hector was attaching the dragon’s wings to his back and Eisel was helping Chatel put on the equipment.
And on the deck Meadow and Maylin the leaders of this Dark Alliance team were holding a crystal ball and watching with tense faces.
A connection sound was heard for a moment and then a woman’s voice was heard.
-This is the second commander of the Joint Headquarters! Access to the site by unauthorized vessels is not permitted. It’s dangerous so get back quickly!
“ah! Lorraine! “That voice is Lorraine right?”
Maylin said her face brightening. Other colleagues also flocked in as if they had heard Lorraine’s voice.
“I heard the whole story from Lord Meadows! Simon is on a secret mission? “Let us fight too!”
-…Lord Meadows.
For a moment Lorraine mumbled in her regretful voice then continued her explanation as if she could not help it.
-I’ll talk about the operation later. It’s too dangerous Meirin. You are the heroes who brought victory to the Dark Alliance. If something happens before the closing ceremony…
“Even just one person doesn’t have enough power!”
Meylin swung her arm.
“There’s a corps commander on this side and a saint on the federal side! Are we going to waste all this power just waiting for the closing ceremony? Everyone can fight! Simon must be exhausted from playing the Rune League but he’s fighting!”
-but…!
“It’s Meadow. “If anything goes wrong I will take full responsibility.”
Then Supervisor Meadow intervened.
“The Rune League is not over yet. Strictly speaking no time had passed until the end of the game and the group raided the rune league that was still in progress. “We have a duty to stand up to this.”
Lorraine’s worries seemed to be felt beyond the crystal ball. Then she heard a voice discussing with the Federation commander whether she had received the same message from the Holy Federation.
The remaining representatives waited with nervous faces.
-Okay I understand.
At Lorraine’s words the representatives of the Dark Alliance all cheered.
-However infiltrating the dungeon and fighting with the savior are not allowed. I’ll ask you a favor while dealing with nearby monsters.
“Leave it to me!”
Communication was cut off and everyone prepared for a new battle.
The Holy Federation also seemed to have received permission and was preparing to go into battle. No. 3 Tergon and No. 4 Rephaim returned to their new combat uniforms and No. 5 Diana and No. 6 Hamiel who were eliminated from the Rune League rather quickly also stepped forward.
“It’s coming!”
-Keeeeeeeeee!
-Girl!
The sand monsters in the dungeon who were heading to the Cave of Beginnings turned their heads when they saw the two ships approaching.
The monsters were getting closer.
“Finally we can go out!”
“I was itching just to look at the mana screen.”
Reserve members of the Dark Alliance national team who did not participate in the Rune League.
The energetic Malcolm Jamie Fitzgerald took the lead.
“Then let me try it on too!”
Among the Hound Kids Ivy Goldbean was the only one to join.
Soon long earthworm-like sand monsters protruding from the triangular structure approached the ship with their mouths wide open.
Puuuuuuuuu!
Spirits poured out from the Holy Federation’s ship.
Spirits with bulging eyes as if they were covered in tablecloths raised trumpets and trumpets.
“Solis Hymn first movement!”
chuck!
Number 6 of the Holy Federation which had relatively little activity.
Hamiel of the Angel’s Vocal Band waved his baton and spoke.
“Livarcendo!”
Kwakwakwak!
As dozens of spirits blew their trumpets powerful sacred sound waves spread out and tore the monsters to pieces.
An overwhelming range of sonic attack that even covers the Dark Alliance side. Meilin who was watching let out an exclamation.
“There is a reason why she was chosen as representative.”
The sand monsters turned into ordinary sand and exploded one by one but the crowds were so large. Accordingly the Dark Alliance candidates prepared.
“Witchsketch.”
Jamie Victoria from the Cursing Department was the first to show off her skills.
Giant letters symbolizing the curse in words jumped out and spread out like a barrier. When the monsters that had been bypassing Hamiel’s sonic attack touched the letters they began to fall limp as if they had lost all strength and fell into the sea.
<Doppelganger>
<Summon Behemoth>
Malcolm Fitzgerald Ivey also joined the offensive effort. The monsters melted under their relatively quick firepower and the triangular giant structure got closer and closer.
“It’s a big one!”
Kukukuk!
Two crocodiles made of sand approached with their mouths wide open destroying part of the wall of the structure. At that time someone jumped up from the deck.
Number 4 was Rephaim the healing giant.
<Great Hill>
Hwaaaaaaaaa!
After applying healing her body turned into a giant and grew even bigger. A huge fist struck the sand crocodile sending it crashing into the wall.
Taa!
And Chatelle who was flying with Azel’s wind magic climbed on top of the second sand crocodile’s head.
<Domain control>
Chatel immediately took control of the crocodile’s body made of sand and ground and made it her subordinate. It seemed to overwhelm the monsters in the dungeon who were trying to escape by moving it directly.
Teuong!
Empty!
Next two powerful forces stepped onto the deck and flew up. The Dark Alliance side turned into a jet-black dragon and the other side turned into a female angel.
[Do not grab your ankles.]
[It can’t be!]
Hector fired his breath of darkness and Lysara extended her claws like a sword and swung them.
The army commander and the saint’s attack continued burning and dismembering monsters.
“Let’s go too!”
“Let’s go!”
To help Simon. To fulfill my role here.
Not to be outdone other representatives poured in and joined the offensive.
* * *
When a large-scale battle was taking place on the continent.
A similar situation was happening in The City.
Hieromir who missed Simon’s group and the revolutionary army due to the interference of Zombie Butler and Mako immediately began harsh oppression throughout The City.
-Kill all those who are related to the traitor.
Hieromir’s battleships were flying in the sky and searchers were spread out on the streets creating an ominous atmosphere. The searchers who had gone outside to look for Simon and Lethe were also returning to The City one after another.
The searchers dispersed raiding the back alleys pulling out and torturing all those involved in the underworld and the arena.
In response the revolutionary army also armed itself and began a counterattack and numerous battles broke out throughout the streets.
Hieromir said after hearing that fact.
– Bomb it.
-Ha this area is a large dense residential area…
-Are you going to make me say it twice?
Hieromir grinned.
-You can kill as many people as you want. All you have to do is bring someone from another dimension.
The battleship began pouring gunfire into the residence.
Countless people died. The reported area was bombed without properly verifying the report.
Hieromir declared by hanging the people he killed as an example on various chimneys of the factory.
<It’s all because of the traitor.>
<It is because of them that you innocent people vote as traitors. If you want peace find a traitor and bring him back.>
The most effective way Hieromir has governed The City so far.
Hatred between each other.
However this time the revolutionary army did not retreat.
<There were no traitors from the beginning.>
<I became a traitor because I was trying to find a traitor without a upper class! If you hate us for no reason let’s give them a reason to hate us!>
Cheok!
chuck!
The revolutionary army resisted until the end hanging banners and writing graffiti throughout the underground alleys. Hieromir oppressed even more cruelly.
Hieromir bombarded the city killing and torturing people shouting ‘It’s because of the traitors’.
The revolutionary army rescued the people who were taken away shouting ‘There were no traitors’ found out information about the bombing and evacuated them.
In the past the public opinion war would have ended with Hieromir’s victory.
But not anymore.
The atmosphere was gradually changing.
“People have been fooled so far but people aren’t stupid enough to fall for it again.”
It was the same regardless of whether there was a traitor or not.
A vote that lasted a long time. Hatred persecution and reporting on each other.
Hieromir has been using methods to pit residents against each other for too long.
-Let’s fight!
The atmosphere was changing. The fact that the renegade voting season was approaching contributed to the fact that residents’ stress was at its peak.
And eventually.
“Hieromir! “We’re in big trouble!”
His staff reported to Hieromir.
Vote to find a traitor.
However it was reported that numerous people had thrown blank ballots.
“….”
This is truly an act that goes directly against Hieromir’s system.
Hieromir looked at the blank ballot paper and laughed shaking his shoulders.
“This is really dangerous now! There’s a mood for a riot! Now we need to implement conciliatory measures to appease the residents…!”
“So what can they change?”
Hieromir smiled crookedly.
“I am here.”
“!”
“I am stronger than them all combined. Even if they come to their senses nothing will change. “That’s the way it is.”
Hieromir stood up took a look at the scene outside the window and then turned around.
“There is no need for those whose minds have been stained with apostasy. “I will destroy them all bring in new humans and build the city once again.”
A large-scale extermination order was issued.
