◈ 134. [STAGE 5] Sisan Blood (3)
Celendion wishes death.
He’s looking for an enemy to end his long, damned life.
But he doesn’t want to lose.
It is considered more honorable to take one’s own life than to deliberately give one’s life to an enemy.
That’s why he doesn’t look down on his enemies, and he doesn’t deliberately lose.
To die at the end of a convincing victory in a battle fought fair and square with the enemy at the risk of one’s everything.
This is the ideal death he envisions.
***
《… .》
Watching his army of subordinates dying like worms under the wall.
Feeling the unrecovered lives. Feeling the deaths like grains of sand slipping through my hands.
Selendion shuddered after hundreds of years.
《How did you endure such an exhilarating game for so long?》
Throwing the preciously saved life to the ground like garbage. This play with death.
How could I have forgotten for so long?
“Look at the waste of this extravagant life,”
Selendion murmured happily as he looked at the corpses of his men who had died forming a hill beneath the wall.
“I can’t believe I’ve been putting up with fun things for so long. I’m really like this, so I’m going to be dull.”
Alpha and Beta smiled broadly at the owner who was genuinely happy.
《The Lord is happy, so we are also happy.》
《But it is still not enough to reach it.》
The first group was annihilated right under the castle wall.
2 Jin climbed up to the top of the castle wall, but all died in the end.
“Let the rest of them go. Build a path with your life.”
Selendion gestured toward the rest of the ghoul army, his blood-red eyes flashing.
《Like we always have been.》
《Yes my road. I accept your order.”
Alpha, who bowed toward Selendion, raised her voice toward the ghoul army.
《3 Jin! Prepare for the march-!]
A smile similar to that of the owner hung on Alpha’s lips as well.
“Go ahead! Go ahead and build a path of ice and corpses-!”
***
Lucas and Evangeline stabbed the last Fallen Blood at the same time.
“My sword destroyed the spirit core first.”
“You are funny! Because my spear was faster!”
The two of them quarreled, so I eventually intervened.
“Just do it half and half and give it half a point. With an overall score of 2.5 to 2.5. okay?”
“If the lord says so… .”
“Huh. I can’t help it.”
The two finally understood and retreated. What are you doing?
Anyway, the atmosphere on the frontlines is not bad right now to the point of exchanging such trivial jokes.
Although this side used up quite a bit of their hand, instead, they defeated more than half of them without taking any damage.
It’s worth saying that the beginning is really good.
I lifted my telescope and looked at the enemy lines. Now, what are you going to do, Celendion?
‘60% of your subordinates have lost their lives! I’m sure you’ll get impatient?’
but.
“… ?”
Selendion reflected in the telescope was smiling.
Raise both sides of the mouth from side to side as if tearing.
Wickedly. insidiously ugly
to the letter… like a vampire.
‘What’s so fun about it?’
Unable to understand, I swallowed dry saliva.
Even though 60% of the lives stored in the corps have already disappeared, what the hell is so interesting… … .
“Are you laughing at me, you monster bastard… !”
chuck! chuck! chuck! chuck!
And the ghoul army started moving again.
By this time most of the remaining forces were preparing to advance.
Over 400 ghouls.
Fallen Blood 10 bodies.
All of their remaining forces, except for the vampires.
Aaaaagh-!
kurrrrr… … !
They kicked off the ground with a scream that sounded like they were scratching their eardrums and started running.
Doo doo doo-!
Watching the guys approaching, I couldn’t understand why.
why?
Didn’t you see the 1st and 2nd jin annihilated earlier?
You must have realized that if you rushed without thinking like this, you would be helplessly exposed to attacks from this side and die without any results?
“why… Same tactic?”
as if to be killed.
It means crawling on your own limbs as if begging me to kill you!
Doo doo doo doo-!
The 3rd came closer in an instant. Lucas looked at me urgently.
“Lord! The guys are close! command!”
“… !”
okay. It’s not the time to bruise.
I don’t know what the heck they were thinking of ordering such a stupid tactic, but if that’s not to say that their rush was light, that wasn’t it either.
If you don’t respond properly, the front will be breached.
“artilleryman! Start salvo fire! Delay their arrival! Same with the ballista squad! launch!”
“yep! Fire-!”
“Shoot-!
Beep!
Patter… … !
Cannons fired fire from saro on the ramparts and ballistas spewed arrows.
“Start sniper archers! And burnout!”
I looked back at the Shadow Troops. The custom ballista was loading silver arrows with body bags using psychokinesis magic.
“Fire again as soon as the load is complete!”
The body bag filled with the last arrow shouted.
“Just finished, Your Highness!”
“Burnout! Shoot!”
Burnout held the trigger, and a red energy overflowed in his eyes, and the next moment.
Two-Ha-Ah-!
Hundreds of silver arrows pierced the air and rained down toward the enemy camp.
Quagmire and light!
The silver arrows with explosive properties instantly devastated the plain south of the wall.
But in this third… … There were a lot of ghoul special reinforcements mixed in.
A tanker object with overdeveloped muscles or a buffer object that applies a wide-area berserk buff to ghouls around an agile object that rushes in swiftly.
‘It’s not a zombie shooting game, is there a variant like that?’
Anyway, because of these guys, the aspect is a little different from before.
bang! Kwagwagwang!
The ghoul tankers jumped into the air and caught the silver arrows pouring down on their allies with their whole bodies.
They didn’t last long and were shattered in the air, but most of the ghouls below them were advancing without much damage.
fault! Tadadat!
The agile object was running from the forefront in a zigzag line, avoiding all the sniping from the archers.
“Kuk!”
“What’s so fast… … !”
Every time they dodged the sniping, Skull and Old Girl groaned.
Aaah-!
Finally, as dozens of buffer entities screamed in unison, the entire 3rd group received a berserk buff.
The red eyes of the monsters deepened.
The ghouls that had been running on two feet now started running on all fours. The pace was much faster.
Doo doo doo doo-!
A much larger number of Ghouls rushed towards the castle wall with much less damage than before.
“Shoot all the artifacts you can shoot!”
“All right! Artifact activated!”
“It activates!”
Along with the shouts of the alchemists, projectile artifacts among the artifacts on the wall were fired at once.
From the flamethrowing artifact in stage 2 to the gust artifact in stage 4, other artifacts such as wide-area slowing were all activated.
However, all of them were only playing the role of procrastinating a little, but they could not bring them down.
The flamethrower artifact couldn’t pierce the frost ghoul’s freezing attribute, and the gust artifact only shoots strong winds in the first place.
Do-do-do-!
The automatic defense turret, which had been silent for a while, installed in the center of the wall, also began to breathe fire, but it lacked stopping power.
Now they were right in front of me.
‘I need wide-area magic.’
I glanced toward Jupiter.
“Heh heh heh… … .”
Jupiter, along with his comrades, is breathing with a pale complexion, as if the thunderbolt from earlier had been overpowering.
‘I pretended to be normal, but the speaker would be too much.’
I looked to the other side.
“You have no choice but to step in, Junior.”
Junior, who had been waiting quietly, smiled like a fox.
“I thought it was my turn, Your Highness.”
“Are you okay?”
Junior has been assigned an important role in the Great Vampire Battle.
Will there be any problems with managing my condition even if I use my strength first?
‘Since all the wide area wizards are sick and goofing around… … .’
Despite my concerns, Junior smiled bashfully, as if telling me not to care.
“No problem. Rather, I wanted to ask you to let me go first, because I think you have to warm up beforehand so that you can move properly later.”
“… I see.”
It was then.
“majesty!”
Jupiter, who noticed the smell and approached me, hurriedly opened his mouth.
“Wasn’t the wide striker here at Killing Field decided to be me! why… !”
“Recover, Jupiter. Because the battle is still long.”
“but!”
“Burnout! How long until the next shot!”
Ignoring the cries of the wounded veteran, I asked the shadow unit.
Body Bag, who was loading arrows into Burnout’s ballista, answered right away.
“You can do it in one minute!”
“Okay Junior. Using magic at the same time as Burnout’s silver arrow bombardment. can you do it?”
“Of course, Your Highness.”
Junior rolled his eyes at his grandmother and smiled confidently.
“Leave it to me.”
Aaaa-!
In the meantime, the head of the ghoul army came close to the castle wall.
They jumped over the moat and clung to the wall, freezing their limbs and sticking them to the wall to begin the castle. I clicked my tongue.
“Damian. Of the remaining ones, shoot the Fallen Bloods and end them.”
“yes!”
“Lucas Evangeline and… .”
I looked back.
I saw five newbies waiting with their eyes shining throughout the battle.
“Five members of the Dion Mercenary Corps.”
What’s so fun about this hellish wire.
When I called my name, the five members of the Dion Mercenary Corps burst into laughter.
“It is a hand-to-hand combat. Make sure no one comes up.”
“It’s finally our turn!”
“I’ve been waiting for you!”
“I’m going to show you the freaking bastards!”
I said coldly.
“It’s just to keep accidents cool and prevent them to the last. Don’t get hurt by being greedy about your major. I will calmly distribute my face and go slowly. got it?”
“yes!”
oh well the answer is good newbie chicks.
One by one, the leaders of the ghoul troops began climbing up the walls.
“Huh!”
“Urachacha~!”
Lucas and Evangeline rushed in first, knocked them down, and shouted,
“One two three! One, two, three!”
The Dion Mercenary Corps also dutifully beat them one by one and dropped them outside.
“Ready to shoot!”
A minute passed like an eternity, and when they clung to the wall, the signal came. I immediately exclaimed.
“launch!”
Immediately, Burnout’s finger pulled the trigger.
Two-Ha-Ah-!
Hundreds of silver arrows were fired into the air, and the next moment they hit the ghouls’ headquarters.
Quagmire and light!
At the same time, the magic elements were united in Junior’s hands one by one. One was the water attribute and the other was the lightning attribute.
“I will show you.”
Junior smiled brightly at the stiffened grandmother.
“How I use the thunderbolt.”
The water property magic orb and the lightning property magic orb, which were united at Junior’s fingertips, disappeared.
Shoot aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!
Immediately after, a heavy rain suddenly poured from the sky.
The ghouls, swept away by the shower of silver arrows and the explosion, looked up at the sky in unison, puzzled.
Curling… .
And
flash-!
A massive thunderbolt fell on the heads of the rain-soaked guys.
