Fortress assault operation (5)
Darby’s hacking ability touched some of the thousands of batteries installed in the fortress.
But even if it’s just a part, there are hundreds of gunshots. That’s hundreds of bullets.
The last line of the main force of the National Guard who fight back against the fortress. Needless to say, how deadly the bombardment rammed into the defenseless back would be.
Doo doo doo doo doo!!!
Hundreds of cannons fired from cannons lined up in a row in an instant, drawing a path of huge flames.
In an instant, more than a hundred members of the National Guard were swept away by the fire, turned to ash and dust, and desperate screams erupted from everywhere.
“Aaaaaaaaaa!!”
“It’s hot hot!!”
“The fortress is under attack!!! It’s a misfire!!”
“Immediately issue an order to stop firing at the control room!! Do you want to die together?!”
The formation of the main force of the National Guard begins to collapse in an instant due to the enormous firepower pouring from behind.
The freelancers who break through the gap and begin to open the way from the front, and Aris’ rear support.
Barclay looked down, gritted his teeth, and raised the communicator.
“The fortress bombardment system was overpowered. Cut off their network immediately and renew your authority!! What are you procrastinating on!!”
[Not in progress. Even though I renewed my authority, the shelling didn’t stop… … !!]
“Don’t make excuses and take action quickly!!”
Barclay gritted his teeth and screamed into the communicator.
“The fortress system itself is no different from the existing fortress!! Are you going to wait until you shoot and kill all of your allies?!”
[In a situation where the central control system is not touched, only the control authority of each gun is cleverly taken. The computational power of the hijacker cannot be matched by the computational power of the defense network. Unless the entire network is opened and responded to… … !!]
“Damn it….”
Even if you don’t have to say it, it feels clear.
Even Barclay’s Magic Sense showed what was happening on the deck of this fort right now.
If the right to fire in all directions is taken away, the port on the back gate is seized and bombardment is poured.
If you take control of both guns again, this time, take away the defense guns on the side of the fortress and pour down bombardment.
It is only natural that the nuclear reactor located right below the fortress would explode unexpectedly.
At this rate, there is a high possibility that even charging the fortress’ power source will not work properly.
Even in this situation, tanks and fighter jets rolling over the deck exploded one after another, steadily killing the commanders.
The shouts of other commanders could be heard through the communicator.
[Barclay!! What are you doing right now!!]
[The power at the back gate was cut in half due to a misfire from the fortress. If we keep going like this, we have to retreat all the way and hold a sit-in inside the fort.]
[Do you think the commander would leave you alone if he knew this?]
Barclay, who had been lowering his head, raised his gaze.
“Open the central network. If you don’t have enough computing power, you have to borrow it to prevent this situation now.”
[But then it becomes relatively vulnerable to outside intrusion….]
“Before that, it would be a matter of finding and killing the dog.”
Clap!!
Barclay, who had fixed his long sword, answered with his feet on the edge of the deck.
“I didn’t know because I was distracted earlier, but there is only one place for him to escape from above this fortress.”
What if there was no sign of it on the deck of the fortress, and it hadn’t even been seen anywhere in this expansive sky?
If the opponent hadn’t risen into the sky, it would have been natural for them to have fallen to the ground.
And speaking of land in this fortress-
Kwajik!!
Barclay, who had driven his long sword into the outer wall of the fortress, threw himself downward.
At the same time, I climbed upside down on the fortress bridge and fell downward, quickly checking the rear.
Barclay’s eyes widened as he found what he was looking for.
“…I found you motherfucker.”
A dense net made of magic thread. Follow the trail and turn your gaze.
Like a spider’s web, a
sorcerer with a cigarette in his mouth sat in the center of the net woven with sorcerers on the inside of the fort’s legs and smiled at Barclay.
* * *
[Breaking the 3rd barrier! The formation of the main force of the National Guard collapses! The road was opened by mistaken fire from the mobile fortress. Attempting to enter the fortress!!]
[Kill the two colonels. one is missing. The three of them are engaged. Aris is supporting!!]
[The bombardment near the reactor opened the way. Killed all of the special powers except for Director Alvan. Other agents except me are occupying the reactor.]
[This is Felix. Small intestine Jelicich. Many of the enemy forces were disengaged due to misleading fire from the fortress that poured into the back gate. The operation will be enforced.]
The news of victory came one after another through the earphones.
Lennok lowered the volume on the chattering network once more and slowly rose from his seat.
Standing upside down on the back of the fortress, Barclay’s gaze was terrifying like a ghost.
He gritted his teeth and muttered as he slowly walked towards Lennok.
“I don’t know what you did, but I’m not in a very pleasant mood.”
“….”
“I never thought we would kill our comrades with our own hands. I have a very nasty hobby. Was that what you were aiming for from the beginning?”
“No way.”
Lennok, who calmly raised his mana, smiled and shook his head.
“I just found the most efficient solution while looking for various methods.”
Actually, what Lennock was trying to do wasn’t too complicated.
While confronting Barclay, he recognized that there was a hidden passage and at the same time figured out the hidden route to the inside of the fortress through Darby.
Through one of them, Darby sneaks into the fortress first.
Darby, who sneaked in like that, hacked the gun control system of the nearest fort.
The moment he confirmed that, Lennok put off the battle with Barclay and focused on supporting allies on the other entry route.
The reason why he hid himself under the fortress’s back was because the magician he had left when he climbed up the fortress bridge for the first time.
Rather than proceeding with the battle right away, he was actively supplying mana to Darby and was intent on pushing the war situation into chaos.
“Now all this devastation…. Is it just an improvisation?”
Barclay asked, narrowing his eyes.
“Are you asking me to believe that?”
His suspicions are valid.
Although it was a short moment, the series of bombings that Lennok had seized from the mobile fortress’ gun gates were fatal enough to change the situation of the war in an instant.
The firepower poured into their backs from the fortress, which they thought was an absolute ally.
It is not difficult to guess how shocking the blow that pierced the gap, which was defenseless, came to the main force of the defense force engaged in battle from all sides.
The situation changed drastically as the formation that had not given up a chance until then collapsed at once, and the charter tilted at once in the three entry routes that did not miss the gap.
Although Alburn and Warden Zelicy are still holding out, it will only be a matter of time before they give way to the inside of the fortress.
And now, only the two of them knew the cause and effect of all of that.
In fact, it is hard to believe even if you see and hear with your own two eyes that all the security and defenses of the mobile fortress have been breached by a single wizard.
And there was only one Barclay who could rectify that mistake.
“Now I know what those mechs meant.”
soooo… … !!
A sharp wind began to gather between the blades of the long sword that hung down toward the ground.
It is a microcosm of a superman who completed his own image and built it into an inner world.
It is the swordsman’s will to freely handle the atmosphere and wind as if he were his own mind.
Barclay said as he raised a sharp-forged blade over his sword.
“You are too dangerous. I’ll kill you right here before we get to the commander.”
“Barclay. You should already know.”
Lennok laughed on top of the swaying Magician, breaking off little by little.
“That this battle has no meaning.”
“Well I don’t know.”
Even Barclay laughed.
“What I’m going to do has been decided from the beginning!!”
Weeeeeeeeeeeeeee!
At that moment, the anticipation of the raging wind cuts off magicians in all directions in an instant and rushes toward Lennok.
However, even in the midst of this, the few strands of magicians who survived held on to Lennok’s body, bent long and began to run down the fort’s stomach as if on a swing.
A move that would be impossible if the magician hadn’t expected to be attacked from the beginning.
“Signal from the control room. I got it for sure.”
Whiiing!!
Lennok looked back at Barclay in the air.
The reason why he hid behind the back of the fortress and waited for the opponent’s response.
It is to trace back the position of the signal sent from the control room in order to regain control of the stolen gun gate.
With that one word, Barclay, who recognized Lennok’s intentions, twisted his face and Lennok laughed.
“Now I can kill you and take control of the fortress.”
“Shut up your mouth!!”
Barclay, running upside down along the rear of the fortress, became a thick flash and chased after Lennok.
Unusual speed. But the anticipation mingled with the run turned towards Lennok with a much more menacing speed than that.
The severed magic thread clings to his body like a spider’s web and hinders his movement, but is cut and scattered by the sharp wind’s anticipation.
Lennok ignored Barclay’s appearance and ran his right hand lightly through the sleeve of his coat.
Clap!!
The rechargeable shotguns in both hands glowed bright blue.
I calmly gazed at the flash of light that approached my nose and pulled the trigger.
The rechargeable shotgun, which had been prepared through several warm-ups in advance, was fired in an overheated state.
It scattered bluish flames in the air and emitted a huge shockwave.
Aaaaaaang!!
“Aaaaagh!!”
The amount of charge that is so powerful that it pushes the charge of Barclay from the front.
The recoil threw Lennok’s body all the way out of the ship’s fort and soared up onto the deck.
Lennok’s body, which had cast the floating spell, fell dangerously onto the deck and tumbled all over the coat.
“Woo-wook…!!”
Although he managed to balance his body and protect his physical condition with all kinds of common magic, it was still difficult to digest such intense movements with Lennok’s body.
Unable to overcome the rising feeling of nausea, Lennok, who had vomited several times, stood up with a pale complexion.
The feeling of déjà vu while staggering onto a nearby supply box.
Before I could shake off that unfamiliar feeling, I saw a flash of light running down the deck from the ship’s ship.
Kwaaaaang!!
The flash of light that soared into the sky hit the ground as it was, blowing out a heavy wind.
Gray hair standing up in the center of a fiercely rotating gust of wind.
“Don’t even think about running away!!!”
Barclay growled as white light trickled down between his eyes.
Lennok watched the murderous look and placed his hand on the sleeve of his coat.
Lennok took a rosary from his left wrist and slowly brought it forward.
“The decision has been made, but there is no need to waste energy.”
“…what?”
As the dharma ball’s talisman of the talisman glows fiercely, it begins to slowly rotate in Lennok’s hand.
Sensing at a glance that the artifact was unusual, Barclay also straightened the sword in his hand and lowered his stance.
‘I took off the rosary that was worn on my wrist. Artifacts of the kind you use yourself. It’s close to a restraining ball in terms of the magic I can feel.’
With decades of combat experience, he instantly saw the power of the rosary.
It’s clear that it’s a somewhat uncomfortable thing to take out in this situation, but it’s enough if you don’t deal with it.
With the magician’s reflexes and reaction speed, it would be impossible to even bring the orb to his body.
That moment when Barclay contracted all the muscles in his body and ran forward as if exploding.
Faaaaa!!!
A strange light of magical power burst out from between his front teeth.
Shining dazzlingly between the sleeves of the military uniform, it was an old pencil with all sorts of magical characters engraved on it.
“…!!”
Before Barclay, who recognized the identity of the object, could react, his body was forcibly space-shifted dozens of meters.
As it was, the neck was forcibly pushed into the activated rosary.
“Aaaaaaa-!!!”
It was only then that he realized what Lennok meant, and he shouted with a blood clot in his throat, but it was all too late.
In an instant, his body, frozen in space, collapsed on the deck in a hardened state.
Barclay’s face was frozen as he screamed with bloodshot eyes. The look on his face made us guess how embittered he was in defeat.
Lennok sat down slowly, watching Barclay’s face like that.
He lowered his head and let out a gurgling stomach.
“Uh-wook…!!”
The aftereffects of spinning up on the deck as if on a swing from the rear of the fortress still lingered.
It’s been a very long time since I did such a violent maneuver with this body.
In the past, it wouldn’t be strange if I fainted the moment I gave that kind of recoil with a rechargeable shotgun in the air.
At least, it is possible that she is still awake because she is constantly taking medications through the medical treatment of Janushka Greenway, a pharmacist.
If it wasn’t for the diagnosis that raised not only mana addiction but also overall Lennok’s physical condition and raised the lowest point, he would have suffered much more than he does now.
[Master, catch your breath slowly.]
Darby’s voice, which was still infiltrating the circuitry inside the fortress.
[If you struggle with an obstructed esophagus, you are more likely to die of suffocation. Concentrate on calming your breath and slowly letting out the remaining foreignness.]
“Whoa whoa…!!”
Lennok, who was trembling halfway to the ground, smiled bitterly.
Indeed, the helplessness I have felt in a long time. It’s a feeling that I haven’t felt even though I’ve been through a lot of battles lately.
In the situation of falling in the air, didn’t you focus on balancing with the floating magic?
It was virtually the first time that he had attempted such intense air maneuvers as he is now.
Lennok, who was staring at the contents he poured out, slowly stood up.
“…When I go back, I should also start researching on building a personal airship.”
[You mean something like that used in the Dominion of Philenom?]
“The Dominion has also completed an automatic flight algorithm, so the software is sufficient.”
Lennok wiped his lips, put the shotgun he was holding, and turned his head.
“Let’s finish what we’re doing and talk.”
I didn’t capture Barclay for nothing.
A strange sense of incongruity felt as the operation to attack the mobile fortress progressed. There was something I had to ask him about its identity.
* * *
Clap!!
“Cheuk…!!”
Freed from the shackles of the rosary, Barclay opened his eyes and twisted his whole body.
Charrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!!
“Damn it!!”
Dozens of purple chains that bound the limbs.
Common Magic Gravity Chain. It is also a binding force created by dragging nearby broken tanks and fighter jets together.
Every time he struggled, one side of the deck shook violently, but it was difficult to break the bundle of chains right away.
In front of Barclay, Lennok reloaded his revolver with a cigarette in his mouth.
Click click!!
Barclay’s forehead wrinkled when he realized how he had been beaten a step too late.
“Damn it, from the rear of the fort….!!”
“It was over the moment I touched the pile of magicians who had been cut off.”
Piles of sorcerers that were cut when chasing Lennok behind the fortress.
A fleeting moment when a part of it brushes against the military uniform. Lennok had inserted Enakfil’s five fingers into his uniform.
It is unbelievable that it was possible to achieve such precise manipulation ability while flying in the air for a short time.
Barclay looked up at Lennok in disbelief.
“…that pencil. I’ve seen it too. But it would never have been something that could be used in this way.”
Enakpil’s five fingers are not convenient enough to be inserted randomly and teleport the opponent.
An artifact that is so safe that it will not operate without warm-up time, preparation action, and the user’s clear will.
It is not an item used as an artifact for emergency evacuation of high-ranking politicians for nothing.
But just now, Lennok perfectly used the artifact at his own will and teleported Barclay, as if those safeguards were meaningless.
“It’s not difficult if you understand spatial interference.”
After reloading, Lennok replied.
“Rather, it’s easy to get your hands on an artifact that is so thoroughly safeguarded. It’s easy to adjust to your liking with just a few steps.”
After stroking the white muzzle, Lennok pulled the gun and put his finger on the trigger.
Without the slightest hesitation, a single shot into Barclay’s abdomen.
Taang!!
“…!!!”
If it was an ordinary bullet, it would be impossible to even pierce the skin of a person with physical abilities of the Ascension level.
However, the bullets fired from Lennok’s revolver cut through Barclay’s muscles so easily that they lodged in his abdominal organs.
The cold chill slowly freezes the body from the depths of the body without stopping there.
Barclay, who gritted his teeth and held back his screams, laughed hard.
“This part is like a wizard again, right? … !! I can’t be thorough… … .!!”
“You die.”
Barclay’s words were cut off by Lennok’s calm declaration.
“I don’t know if I cooperate with this side, but I’m not good enough to keep a talented person like you alive.”
I tried to appease him right before the battle started, but that was only a story before the outcome was decided.
It was a story that didn’t mean much after he succeeded in getting Darby into the fortress first by dragging out time.
And Lennok had no intention of showing unnecessary mercy to the first enemy he faced today.
“…Right.”
“So you don’t have to answer the questions from now on.”
Lennok bent slightly and met Barclay’s gaze before speaking.
The glances and facial expressions, the heart rate and temperature changes in the body, and the fluctuations in the magical power flow sometimes reveal more than words.
Especially when it comes to realizing that you are about to die.
I asked, keeping all of Barclay’s reactions intact.
“Where is Lieutenant General Treffen now?”
“….”
“If you were watching everything from the control room in the fortress, it wouldn’t make sense to not show up yet. At least you should have moved the moment you were defeated.”
Even if you’re a fort commander, sitting in a control room and directing the situation isn’t a good thing.
In this world where superhumans run rampant, those with arms, regardless of command, needed to accurately recognize the place and moment when their power was needed.
And this moment, when Lennok took part of the gunfire and captured Barclay, was a decisive moment when the tension in the war tilted to one side.
Even so, if he doesn’t move up to this point, wouldn’t it be impossible without causing problems with his body?
And now, if there’s one thing that might change Treffen’s status—
“Ask me again.”
Lennok’s eyes shone sharply, and his left pupil turned purple as it rotated.
“Is Lieutenant General Treffen still human?”
