◈ 007. [STAGE 0] Battle (2)
‘Calm down.’
Embarrassment cooled my mind in an instant.
‘There’s no way there’s no way.’
The queen was definitely on the stage enemy list. Then it will definitely be on the map.
‘In the first place, the purpose of this stage is not a boss skill. It’s no surprise that the boss monster mark doesn’t appear separately.’
I recalled the herpes of the spiders I looked at earlier and quickly looked at the encirclement of those I could now see.
Even in an all-out attack, there will be reservists staying in the rear.
safe rear. Escort objects just in case.
The queen has no choice but to be there.
bang! Kwakwawang!
A clash between spiders and soldiers had already begun on the front line of the castle wall, and the roar of battle was resounding.
Gunfire, the sound of metal colliding, and screams… … .
‘Where are you?’
I scanned the vast map desperately in the midst of the mess.
‘Where are you? where?’
Immediately after, my eyes stopped.
Southwest of the forward base fort.
On the map, red dots far away from the herd were clearly marked.
‘found!’
I immediately shouted.
“Damian!”
“yes!”
“That way! Can you see?”
I stretched out my hand to the southwest.
Damian frowned, narrowed his eyes, and looked in the direction I pointed.
I got the telescope from the skirmisher and tried to give it to Damian, but
“… yes. I see some still spiders.”
Damian said so with his naked eyes, without a telescope.
do you really see In my eyes, I see nothing but procrastination. How good are your eyes?
“There will be a queen among them. can you find it?”
“… .”
Damian, who was looking over there, trembled.
“The queen has the lower body of a spider and the upper body of a human… … Are you talking about monsters?”
bingo.
“Accurate.”
“Yes I see. a little… It looks scary… … .”
“You don’t need to be scared. It will soon be hit by our cannon and flattened.”
Then I ordered the artillerymen.
“Turn the bag! The direction is south-southwest! Me and Damian will do the precise aiming!”
Koo Goo Goo!
Artillery rotated the device on the floor and turned the entire battery.
The gun barrel, which spurted mana like an electric current, turned its head towards the queen in the distance.
“Ready to fire the mana cannon!”
“The mana charge is complete. You can shoot anytime!”
“good!”
I grabbed Damian’s arm and led him in front of the mana cannon’s control panel.
Its power was an outstanding artifact, but its aiming system was very poor.
It was a method of aiming roughly with the sight and pulling back the large trigger that rose upward to fire.
“catch.”
I urged Damian, who stood bewildered in front of the trigger.
Damian, who was breaking out in a cold sweat, put his hand on the trigger with a trembling hand. but couldn’t pull
“I… Prince Hwa.”
“why?”
“I am not confident.”
Damian looked back at me with a teary face.
“I’ve never done anything like this before. Even if you leave it suddenly… … .”
“Damian.”
I gently grabbed Damian’s shoulder.
“You can hit it wrong.”
“yes?”
“I take all responsibility.”
“… .”
“Even if you make mistakes, even if you fail, even if you ruin everything! are you okay. I am responsible for everything.”
The soldiers only move as the commander tells them to.
It is up to the commander to handle the consequences.
“You just have to aim at that monster and pull the trigger. Just do that.”
I tried to smile as warmly as possible.
“You avenge your friend Van’s enemies.”
“Half… enemy… .”
Upon hearing that, Damian’s eyes changed.
Damian took a deep breath, squeezed the trigger, and aimed through the sights to the far southwest.
Following Damian’s delicate touch, the gun barrel changed its height and direction.
Fine-tuning took seconds.
Clap!
And Damian’s hand pulled the trigger with all its might.
Chunk! Chunk!
The lattice collided and magical devices that I could not understand began to cause a chain reaction one after another.
Pachichichichi!
The gathered mana splashes a violent current through the gun barrel,
and Tuquaang-!
It was fired with ignorant momentum.
The power of the runaway mana cannon was something that even the artillerymen hadn’t expected.
Startled by the roar and shock waves, the artillerymen all fell backwards, and I covered my ears with my hands and rolled on the floor.
However, with his eyes open all the way, he followed the trail of the magic bullet.
‘Right.’
Bullets of mana flashing bright blue crossed the sky.
‘Right!’
Across the southern sky – in the middle of the distant dark dot.
“Right-!”
I cried out in spite of myself.
squirm… … !
and hit.
The dropped mana bullet caused a large explosion from a distance. The rising dust clouds were clearly visible even from here.
I quickly got up.
“Did you get it right?!”
The answer was not from Damian, but from the skirmisher looking through the telescope at the point of impact.
“Hit! It’s a hit! It hit right in the middle of the monsters!”
The soldiers on the battery cheered in unison.
Like the other soldiers, Damian, who was rolling on the floor, had a puzzled face.
Artillery soldiers surrounded Damian and beat him on the back.
“It’s really great, my little friend! Is this your first time?”
“No, that… .”
“How the hell did you aim at something that far away? I can’t see it properly even with a telescope!”
“How did I… … .”
Damian looked down at his hands with round eyes.
“Just as the prince said… The moment I grabbed the trigger, I knew what to do and my body moved on its own.”
Because this is the world inside the game, did you get your skills calibrated? Or is that Damian’s innate talent?
I didn’t have time to think. It was because the skirmisher who was looking at the landing point through a telescope looked at me with a bluish face.
“… Come on, Your Highness.”
The scout’s voice trembled. Even my spine was ominous.
“Why but.”
“It moves.”
“what.”
“The group of spiders over there… It starts moving.”
Running to the telescope, I moved away from the skirmisher and put my eyes on it.
“… !”
one quarter division.
The spiders that were far away began to move in unison and form formation. That… … Is it dustproof?
‘Damn it!’
I gritted my teeth.
The black spider army stops moving when the queen dies. It’s as if your brain has been destroyed.
But the spiders were still moving well.
Not only those who were hit by cannons, but also the spiders attacking the forward bases did not lose their momentum at all.
‘That means… … !’
In the very next moment,
Kiyi… … .
An evil howl echoed across the battlefield.
Needless to say who the owner of the cry was.
Kiyaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah
The horrible screams of the Spider Queen filled the battlefield.
Even though I was so far away, it was hard to breathe because of the evil spirit that came out.
Confused soldiers clutched their heads and screamed.
“what? what’s the matter?!”
“Didn’t you hit the spider queen?”
“But why are you fine?!”
The mana shells hit accurately.
The problem was that the damage was insufficient.
“Everyone, wake up! keep calm! Keep shooting at that monster!”
When I shouted, the trembling soldiers all looked at me. I yelled louder.
“Load the next shot! hurry!”
“Yes yes… .”
The artillery shuddered and clung to the mana cannons. The overheated barrel was cooled and the next bullet was prepared.
It was then.
Kyaaaaaaaaaa!
The Spider Queen let out another terrifying scream, and the movement of the entire Black Spider Legion immediately changed.
Key profit… … .
Kieeck!
The eyes of the spiders, who surrounded the advance base and poured in attacks, turned around in unison. Directly towards the battery where we are.
The red compound eyes of the monsters flashed fiercely. My mouth trembled and I broke out in a cold sweat.
One order is filthy and fast, my queen!
Doo doo doo!
The spiders, which had been beating the entire outpost evenly, turned around and started pouring towards the battery on this side. The skirmisher screamed.
“They’re coming to the battery!”
“The lower unit will take care of the defense! You guys, load the next bullet! hurry!”
I urged the artillerymen.
“We must kill the queen before they reach the battery! Load up-!”
The artillerymen desperately sprayed cooling magic on the mana cannons and loaded the bullets. Before long, the sweaty artillery commander shouted.
“Loading complete!”
“Damian! Shoot!”
Damian, who had narrowed his eyes and looked for the location of the Black Spider Queen, pulled the trigger as soon as my words fell out. Clap!
Pachichichichi!
Tuquaang-!
Mana bounced like an electric current, followed by mana shells. I swallowed dry saliva and observed the trajectory of the cannonball through the telescope.
The bullet, which cut through the sky in a beautiful arc, fell right on the head of the spider queen,
tukkwawang-!
impact.
It hit the monster queen’s head with terrifying precision.
“Hit! It’s a hit! Exactly!”
Excited skirmishers jumped up. But I wasn’t excited at all.
Kihehehehehe-!
It was because there was no change in the movement of the spiders flocking here.
‘lack!’
Although only a silhouette can be seen in the distance, the figure of the queen is intact.
I sharpened my teeth.
In general, the Queen of the Black Spider Corps, which you first meet in the middle of the second year, can be broken into pieces with one or two hits as the damage of this artifact.
In the first place, the Black Spider Corps had a strong fighting entity, but the beggar queen was not strong.
But who is the queen of this tutorial stage?
There is no information.
What if the object values are different? Any special gimmicks? No, what if it was a ‘unkillable’ judgment?
‘Then what should I do… … .’
All kinds of bad thoughts popped out in a row, biting their tails. I hurriedly shook my head.
just do what you can Until the last moment, I just bite and hang on to clear it… … !
“Your Highness the Prince!”
The artillery commander, who was servicing the mana cannon for the next launch, hurriedly reported to me.
“Because the mana core forced it to run out of control, it’s reaching its limit! The damage to the gun barrel is also great! There are fewer shots than expected!”
“Long talk! So how many more shots can I shoot?”
“Five shots… Two shots have been fired, three shots ahead!”
three feet.
I can only hope that the spider queen is dead within the next three shots.
‘No, in the first place… … .’
I looked around the defensive line around the battery.
‘I don’t know if I’ll be able to fire all three shots.’
thud! Kugu Palace!
The wires were collapsing.
The spiders flocked to one point and ferociously used their teeth and claws to tear down the castle wall and begin infiltrating.
“Stop! It must be stopped!”
Lucas, covered in the monster’s blood, screamed and swung his sword. However, the defense line was already on the verge of collapse.
“Ah!”
“Quaaaaa!”
The soldiers cried out in agony and began to collapse helplessly.
The black spiders infiltrated inside the castle walls, scattering red eye light.
I clenched my fists as I looked down at the death that was right in front of me.
