◈ 257. [STAGE 10] Full moon night (4)
“Huh-uh-”
I took a deep breath and said,
“Uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!”
Evangeline let out a spirit and thrust forward the cavalry spear.
The cavalry spears of pure white light rushed forward, tearing through the space.
Chae Ae-Aeng!
Lunared easily waved her claws and parried the attack. There is even a relaxed smile on his lips.
To be clear, Lunared was much stronger than Evangeline.
Evangeline’s desperate attack was easily received by Lunared, but
Tsukaak-!
“Heuk!”
Each of Lunared’s light attacks was a clear blow to Evangeline.
Every time Lunared’s claws cut through the air, emitting moonlight, the gloves attached to Evangeline’s armor were swept away.
The armor Evangeline is currently wearing is [Golem Armor].
Wearing several layers of golem gloves, the defense alone is a piece of equipment that is comparable to later top tier armor.
But – it breaks.
Like feathers scattered from a bird hit by a bullet, pieces of armor splattered from Evangeline’s armor whenever Lunared’s attack brushed past.
“Keugh! Ew!”
Evangeline straightened her breathing as she fixed the shield with claw marks on it.
There were also red scratches on the white cheeks and neck. Lunared giggled as he licked the girl’s blood on his toenails with his tongue.
《To stop the Nightmare Corps commander alone. Although courage is imaginary.》
“… .”
“It is time to pay the price for your childish recklessness. A young knight.]
Even in the midst of this, Damian’s sniping support continued.
Without Damian’s sniping support, Evangeline would have lost her life long ago.
Taang! Taaang-!
The problem was that Damien’s sniping was not infinitely possible.
After dragging [Black Queen]’s ammunition all the way to the floor, Damian filled up his magic and continued sniping, but even that was exhausted.
Right now, he was providing sniper support with his second long gun [Hunter’s Retribution], but the power dropped noticeably.
A sniper is stronger than anyone else if bullets and distance are secured, but on the contrary, if they lose both of them, they become infinitely weaker.
Lunared waved his arms to repel the snipers that continued to fly in, as if to chase away flying insects.
As much as the sniping was weakening, Lunared was converting his remaining strength into an attack on Evangeline.
Tsukaaak-!
The wolf king’s claws scratched and patted armor and shields
… … !
The last remaining gloves from Evangeline’s armor fell in torrents.
Now wearing only the armor that became the skeleton of the golem armor, Evangeline grabbed the shield that was about to split into three pieces.
《Is there a will?》
Lunared, who was sure of victory, laughed viciously.
“I will listen. I am willing to listen to at least the last words of a human who has held me for this long.
”
Evangeline grinned like a bad boy and glanced behind her.
“If you’re going to make a will, shouldn’t you have asked your subordinates first?”
《… !]
Surprised by those words, Lunared looked toward the north gate.
All the Werewolves who were attacking the North Gate had collapsed and were dead.
The three Shadow Units who joined at the right time tore the wolves apart with overwhelming firepower.
The soldiers who ran from the barracks joined later than that, but they were finishing the treatment of werewolves and bringing citizens into the city in an orderly manner.
Lunared let out a laugh.
Lancers and snipers. The confrontation with this duo was so exciting that he stopped caring while all his subordinates died.
《These idiots.》
Puff! Fu-wook!
God Hand, who had driven two iron spears through the neck of the last werewolf and killed it, pulled out the spear and looked at Evangeline.
“All the monsters in the area have been dealt with. Evangeline.”
Seeing that the shield on Evangeline’s arm was tattered, God Hand transformed his two iron spears into a large shield. It was magic like a metal magician.
“Let’s use this for now.”
Evangeline grinned as she quickly equipped her left hand with the shield God Hand had thrown her.
“It’s reassuring to see you after a long time, God Hand!”
“It’s nice to be back on the monster frontline too. There are so many scary things out there… … .”
“More than here, the monster field?”
“haha.”
God Hand, smiling bitterly, stood next to Evangeline.
On the north gate wall side, Burnout and Bodybag set up a giant ballista, and Marherita healed and shielded Evangeline.
“… .”
Sitting on the floor with her wheelchair broken, Lily still held the boy and girl in her arms.
Looking at the back of God Hand.
“Now, rabies king. All of your subordinate puppies are dead.”
Evangeline, who fixed her shield, smiled brightly at Lunared.
“Now what? Can you take on all of us by yourself?”
Reinforcements continued to arrive from the south of the city. Lunared stared at the human shadows on the growing wall.
“Hey, let’s go for a while! Pass by!”
They broke through the citizens and reached the punishment unit.
More humans will arrive here over time. Then it would be increasingly difficult for Lunared alone to endure it.
《… .”
Lunared is strong.
His strength is pure and honest violence. It is the power of honest martial arts emanating from an incredibly strong body.
So, the limits are clear.
Like the other Nightmare Corps commanders, he cannot use witchcraft and magic to overturn the battlefield or create miracles.
His power is mighty, but if he collides with a force more powerful than that, he will be defeated without a variable.
For this reason, Lunared as the commander of the corps never fights head-on with an enemy stronger than himself.
Surprise, abduct, mobilize all available methods and shake them to create variables.
《Whouuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu
!]
Lunared breathed in as hard as he could,
and let out a howl so powerful that it made his ears roar.
Under the bright night sky of the full moon, the Wolf King’s shouts reached out sharply.
People in the area covered their ears and sat down, and citizens who had not yet been evacuated passed out or fell to the ground.
woo woo woo-!
woo woo woo-!
As if responding to the wolf king’s cries, werewolves’ cries were heard from all sides of the battlefield surrounding the Crossroads.
Evangeline, who had covered her ears and staggered, gnashed her teeth.
“What did you do? Did you even ask for help?”
《Reinforcements?》
With a smirk, Lunared stepped forward.
“It’s the opposite. The spearman.”
“… ?”
“Count the number of you blocking me.”
Lunared chinned the north gate.
《Isn’t that too much?》
“What?”
“I am alone here, but it is a story that too many soldiers have been gathered to stop me alone.”
Evangeline looked up at the northern wall with a puzzled look.
Certainly- yes.
In any case, fighting a mighty monster like Lunared should be done by heroes, not ordinary soldiers.
But now, the northern wall was full of ordinary soldiers.
Because the enemy attacked the rear.
Because ordinary citizens who were out there were in danger.
So, it is understandable that most of the soldiers who were waiting in shock rushed here. however.
“Isn’t this defense empty? East and West.”
“… !”
After confirming that the human side’s main force was concentrated in the south, they launched a surprise attack in the three directions of northeast and west at the same time.
Among them, the North was led by the Wolf King himself. It’s good if you succeed in breaking through, but it doesn’t matter if you don’t.
Now that the enemy generals have appeared, the human side’s defense against surprise has no choice but to turn to the north.
In the already chaotic situation, defense against the east and west has no choice but to fall.
Even more so if the size of the enemies appearing in the east and west is small.
Right at this time – order a breakthrough.
《The number of subordinates I led to the detached unit was one hundred. I brought 20 of them here.”
Lunared explained to Evangeline in a kind and pleasant tone.
《The east and west each pretended to attack by ten, but when I send a signal, the additional 30 stealth troops that were hiding try to break through.》 “
… .”
“Break through the gate and enter the city. Well, it was a plan like that.]
And Lunared’s plan worked.
The number of werewolves that appeared at the east and west gates was not large, and the soldiers who were judged to be enough to stop them rushed to the north gate.
If werewolves had flocked to the east and west gates from the beginning, reinforcements from the center and south would have joined the defense of the east and west gates, and a sufficient number of soldiers would have been able to block the surprise attack in the end.
However, the soldiers who judged that the main attack of the wolves was in the north emptied the east and west and gathered in the north.
In this situation, if the east and west gates are attacked… … .
“Damn it! That’s when Evangeline was about to tell
the soldiers to go to the east and west gates-” .
thud!
Lunared took a step forward.
“… !”
As if his prestige had been a joke, terribly violent energy began to emanate from the Wolf King’s body.
“and. Didn’t I ask if I could deal with all of you alone, Lan Knight?”
Lunared showed her teeth and let out a burst of madness.
“My answer is ‘I don’t know’. You have to stick together to know.”
“… ?!”
As a corps commander, Lunared never fights head-on with an enemy stronger than himself.
However, as a warrior, Lunared is willing to challenge enemies stronger than himself.
He was a cold-hearted hunter, but he was also a flaming fighter.
Although the two values seemed to conflict, he considered both of them to be himself.
He was both a wolf and a human.
“So, tell me. Will I be able to deal with all of you?”
The Wolf King began marching alone toward the city wall teeming with humans.
[Let’s start the struggle, humans!]
***
Eastern Wall.
“Ha ha ha ha!”
Standing on top of the castle wall, I wiped the sweat from my chin with the back of my hand.
As soon as I confirmed that the shadow unit appeared in the list of allies in the system window and entered the battle at the north gate, I, Junior Junior, turned to the west gate.
The first reason was that the military situation was sufficient to stop them at the North Gate right away.
‘Because these wolf cubs didn’t seem to be able to finish it with a simple three-way surprise attack.’
This was the second reason.
It was already a twisted war situation. It wouldn’t be strange if these bastards twisted one more time here and caused a problem.
In this situation, if the enemy forces entered the east gate and the west gate with a time difference, I heard the judgment that it would collapse helplessly, and me and Junior were separated and came to stop it.
‘It’s really coming, damn it.’
Do-do-do-do-!
An automatic defense turret opened fire beside me.
In front of me, the body of a werewolf that had been cut by a magical blade lay down, and on the other side, the werewolves that were hit by my [Evil Eye of Command] are killing each other with their claws.
‘How did the alumni succeed in the defense.’
With the help of a few soldiers and I, the alumni managed to defend themselves somehow.
‘It looks like the North Gate is also blocked. Now, if Junior succeeds in defending the west gate, how will this mess be settled… … .’
Wouldn’t it be I thought
Tring!
[Warning: The city’s west gate has been captured!]
“… .”
I was speechless as I saw the bright red system window floating in front of me.
The number 1 worst message you don’t want to see in a defense game.
The fall of the gates was floating in front of my eyes.
