Chapter 982,
Chapter 243. Red King’s Surprise (2)
* * *
At that time, Kelliac was drinking tea with Ragal and looking at Elona’s report.
These were the records of the captured enemy’s air fortress, Usu. As expected by Simat, she was using Seongsu-gwan’s ability to interrogate Gayla and analyze Usu.
“Is it because of the lack of blood? How many of these great things were possessed and still dragged around the imperial family? It is not easy for me to understand.”
“It seems to me, too, friend Kelliac. Until the Bongma Wall was created, the Jeokmyeong and Qingmyeong tribes were really terrible.”
The moment Ragal answered, Kelliac flinched and raised his five senses.
From somewhere far away, I felt a tremendous force coming closer to Drakkar. Of all the people on Drakkar, only Keliac was noticing the change.
“Wait, Ragal.”
“what’s the matter? Kelliac friend.”
“Something mighty is approaching Draka. But it’s hard to figure out the direction…”
“Huh? really? Could it be a surprise attack by the coalition? Didn’t there be any special reports from the spies you sent over there?”
Kellyak rose from his seat.
“All troops, enter first-class defensive posture. It is a habit.”
“yes!”
Nearby wizards quickly began spreading Kelliac’s orders. Kelliac went outside and raised the seal of fire once more to announce the enemy invasion.
The outer walls of the city soared even higher to build an iron fortress, and a huge protective shield was formed that was layered from the sky to the main house of Zipline.
The entire process took less than 5 minutes to complete. As the capital of the federation and the home of Ziffle, Draka’s defense capability could be said to be the best in the world.
If the enemies had attempted a normal raid, attacking and infiltrating from the outside, Drakkar would have been able to successfully minimize the damage.
However, the surprise attack from the ‘underground’ was completely unexpected even for Kelliac.
Kudo de…!
The first to feel the vibrations were civilians in southern Drakkar.
“Is it an earthquake!?”
“Aaaagh!”
The moment the two civilians tried to return home screamed, the ground collapsed and a huge red pillar of light soared.
It was the main gun of the flagship of the enemy fleet, Laviette. Dozens of nearby civilians were caught in the gunfire and melted away without a trace.
Literally, the ground and buildings were turning over like liquid.
After confirming the declaration of emergency, the wizards who hurriedly returned to their homes died without being able to scream even once from the ensuing bombardment.
When you declared war on Zipple in the past.
The Red Myeongjok said they would absolutely exclude civilian casualties during the war. But now, the enemy tribes were indiscriminately killing every human being in sight.
“help me!”
“Help me…! Aww!”
There was an incessant barrage of artillery fire from the ground and from the ships that had just landed and established themselves in the air.
People disappeared without even leaving bloodstains in front of a huge red light wave that engulfed several buildings with each shot.
Not even pieces of flesh and bone were left. The same is true of the remains of buildings. The well-trodden and paved ground instantly turned into a volcanic area with flowing lava, and all the buildings, regardless of the lower and upper floors, became fine particles and were scattered.
Of course, the citizens of Draka have never experienced such a hell.
Although the enemies have already raided Drakka and nearby autonomous districts several times, there has never been a fatal civilian casualty.
“Advance! There won’t be a single Ziffle who will survive on this earth today!”
Lakiman shouted. He was commanding the fleet in the aerial fortress part that had just risen behind Laviette.
This is the southern part of Draka, which was ruined in an instant.
The enemy tribes were attacking all sides of Draka at the same time. Tens of thousands of civilians and wizards have already died in the North, East and West.
“Ke Keliak friend! Enemy tribe, they came up from the underground…!”
Ragal exclaimed, looking at Keliac.
Kelliac had a cold face as usual, but this time it seemed like there was no way for him.
‘…it’s underground. I thought there would be no surprise attack like this since Jito was organized, but I was wrong.’
Actually it was.
It is said that Keliac fused with Shinu and obtained the power of God and recovered Ziffle. He alone could not have prevented this ambush.
Elona was not there, and Ronil, Satrin Octavia, and the living golems were also on missions in other lands.
“This is the Gaju Aerial Fortress! I have confirmed that there is one aerial fortress deployed in all directions, east, west, south, and north…!”
At the wizard’s report, Kelliac sighed for the first time.
Even if it was just one ki, it was inevitable to fight at a disadvantage, but there was no answer for your ki. Even one of them was already breaking the protective shield surrounding the Zipline family.
“Kuk!”
The wizard reporting to Kelliac was staggered by the vibrations.
single blow.
The 1st Air Fortress Peeville’s main gun with full output tore through the protective shield of the main house of Ziple. It was a protective shield that ten thousand wizards borrowed the power of all kinds of magic amplification artifacts.
That protective shield was shattered before he could fight back properly. When the separation begins, more than 50% of the people inside the home will die.
Blocking the city and setting up a defensive posture was a bad decision.
Even if Draka was abandoned and the entire army began to retreat, it would be delayed due to the blockade that had already taken place.
“Discard Draka.”
In the end, Kellyak made a decision. The pupils of Ragal and the wizards widened.
“Summon all the dragons. We cannot save all the troops who have already left the home.”
“Go away.”
“They caught me off guard. There is no time for further explanation, so give orders to retreat immediately.”
Kelliac raised a new seal of fire in the sky, announcing retreat.
It was a seal that was a symbol of despair for both wizards and citizens who were helpless under the fleet bombardment.
Then Kelliac was gathering mana. It was an act to withstand the bombardment until the dragons gathered and evacuated important personnel.
However, while the dragons returned to their home one by one, Piville’s bombardment did not continue.
It wasn’t just Piville, but the rest of the air forts as well. Even though they had closed enough distance, they did not fire their main guns at Zipline Headquarters.
It was proof that Kelliac had lost one more battle with the enemy.
Kwajik-! Good luck!
“Ugh! What else is this!”
The central garden of Zipline House suddenly began to crumble and fall like cookies.
Just as a blue whale rises from the water, the aerial fortress of the enemy’s tribe was breaking through the land and appearing.
Kelliac and Ragal wizards had no choice but to break through the wall and run to the rear to avoid the red brain wave emitted by the air fortress Cree.
Cree is the strongest decisive battle weapon of the enemy tribe, which is different from the other four aerial fortresses. In terms of size, it was bigger than all four air fortresses combined, and a terrible red brain wave was poured out every time the power source embedded deep inside the fortress swayed once.
Immediately after the Kree climbed through the garden, it was swept away by the waves, and more than 70% of the wizards in the hometown died instantly.
It wasn’t an attack or anything like that. Kree simply rose to the spot, displaying the majesty of the enemy.
[Khaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah…!]
[Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!] [Ke keliak!]
Even the dragons could not stand the heat and melted down like porridge from the sky. There were dragons who tried to run away from their home again, but the red brain waves spread faster than they flew.
Cree is shaped like a top. Above the flat top of the Kree rose a red spear for all in the city to see.
The window showed Simat sitting on a throne within the Kree’s bridge.
“It was really peaceful, everyone. Today, both the earth and the sky will be dyed red and will belong to our enemies.”
Simat’s cold voice echoed throughout the city.
He was looking straight at Kelliac, who was slipping away from the red brain waves. But behind him, Rittal, a floating fortress that had risen from the underground in eastern Drakka, was narrowing the siege.
“It’s the first time I’ve seen Kelliac in person. I am the enemy of the enemy. Now it uses the name Simat. If you surrender, I will not kill any more of your men.”
Simart knew Kelliac would never respond.
However, he is only making eyewitnesses to enhance the dignity of the enemy name. As soon as the battle is over, articles announcing the resurrection of the enemy will pour in all over the world.
Kelliac had no intention of fighting. I had to focus on the run. If he was caught like this, Ziple was virtually the end of that road.
I also had the confidence to survive. Kadun had already broken through Rittal’s encirclement by linking up with the other dragons and Kojek.
Only they will be able to survive. Simart averted his gaze and continued to talk behind his back, as if he had no intention of pursuing Kelliac relentlessly.
“Also, don’t worry too much about the general public. As we proclaimed earlier, we are conquerors, not slayers. As long as they don’t raise a senseless rebellion, I’ll treat them all as second-class citizens of the enemy. You will be able to experience the superior civilization of the enemy people.”
More than 100,000 people have already died.
Nevertheless, Simat thought that this massacre would not be exposed externally. It was because it was better for both the enemy and Jiple not to accurately inform the outside world.
In order for the enemy to rule the common people effectively in the future, Jiple wanted to build a little more prestige.
“Compatriot Kelliak Ziple of Tatsushin will be linking up with Kojek Kadun soon.”
“Leave it alone. He has the level of prowess. If you try to catch it now, Elona will join you, and if you don’t, the loss will outweigh the benefits.”
“All right.”
“Above all, the author is a person who should be useful in dealing with the Barmal Alliance. So, for now, we are only focusing on securing Drakka as our new base.”
The artillery fire was rapidly dying down. It was because Draka’s forces, which were supposed to respond to the intruders, were already in a situation where they were on the verge of annihilation.
Simart looked down at the city burning with red brain waves with a satisfied face.
From now on, this land did not belong to Ziple. It was the first time since the first head of Ziffle made Draka the capital of the alliance.
