Episode 249 The first sortie of the Ming Dynasty (3)
and half nodded with a light expression, as if they were going for a walk.
“As expected, my intuition was right. “I can just go kill him and come back.”
Ban suddenly stands up from his seat.
“Wait a minute, half brother. “Do you really mean to go right now?”
“Yes.”
Jin and his colleagues looked at her, speechless for a moment.
I wasn’t going to subdue a bunch of common monsters.
The Five Kings of the Black Sea are on their way to destroy the monster that once almost brought the world to an end.
Of course, that was Gliek’s story, but it was clear that the other Five Kings of the Black Sea also possessed horribly destructive power.
Jin and his colleagues were in awe as they thought of Gliek, and Luna thought of Kial.
“I think you are too quick to make a decision, Brother Ban.”
“Lightning is fast.”
“yes?”
“And the Pluto clan is lightning. In other words, I am the fastest person among the Ming Dynasty.”
It was half a joke. Only Ameris and Elliot burst into laughter.
“What I’ve noticed over the past few days is that you sometimes have surprisingly interesting conversations.”
“Hehe, this is a very classy joke. “It seems that our Cheongmyeong humor has been passed down well to future generations.”
“… … That’s right, brother. “I didn’t know.”
“It’s okay, but Brother Jin is the second fastest man.”
“Wait, wait. Radius? The Five Kings of the Black Sea are not such easy guys. The expedition members, including myself, and even my father risked their lives… … .”
“Didn’t you say that the 5 kings of the Black Sea, Sura, whom the expedition met for the second time, were subdued in a short period of time? Siron Runkandel, I heard that your father was truly overwhelmed.”
But can I not do it?
Ban had that kind of expression on his face.
That was not an intention to ignore the theory, but was simply an expression derived from the ordinary perception of a person who had ‘always been the absolute’.
Jin, Luna, and their colleagues couldn’t help but feel strange for a while.
I’ve never even imagined a person who would dare compare themselves to Siron Runkandel and think in this way.
“Of course, Siron is stronger than me now, so he may have overwhelmed Su like that. But what matters now is not who is better, him or me. The enemy is trying to take advantage of an unknown and dangerous monster. Therefore, in any situation, the safest person goes and cleans it up. “This is the only thing that matters.”
Jin was convinced.
The best group to eliminate the current ‘Five Kings of the Black Sea’ enemies were Ban and the Ming Dynasty.
It would be great if new talent like Jin, Luna, and Murakan were added, but right now it’s a war.
The letter I just read even included the statement that Zipple had ‘acquired more power than anyone could have imagined,’ so key personnel had to be distributed well.
“So, I will go and defeat Nirgand as quickly as possible and come back.”
In the end, Jin nodded.
“That is correct, Brother Van.”
“After all, you are the second fastest among us.”
“Then how would you organize the personnel to go on a sortie?”
“All of the Netherworld except for the Boras brothers, and the golden box. At this level, it will not matter how strong the Five Kings of the Black Sea are. and… … .”
One and a half’s eyes darkened with life.
This was because it reminded me of the Sun God Cult who was trying to use Nirgand, and their high priest, Luke.
“It will not be enough to punish the person who tarnished the honor of the King of Ming, and the person who dared to threaten the Jin brothers.”
Going to capture Nirgand naturally means that there may be a battle with the Sun God Church.
In other words, Ban was planning to kill Nirgand and all of his old ancestors who had ascended to the throne.
“All right. “It is a pity that I cannot accompany you on the way to punish the bastard who slandered the name of the Great King.”
Ban smiled softly at those words and looked at Jin’s waist.
Jin immediately recognized the look in his eyes and untied Sigmund and handed it to Ban.
“This sword is Brother Jin. So let’s alleviate some of the regret. “Show them the power of the Great King.”
“All right. Be careful though.”
“Sure.”
Preparations for sortie began immediately.
When the 76 members of the Netherworld, excluding Boras, boarded the golden ship, Paytel welcomed them while sweating.
[Hmm, hmm… … ! Hey, Ming Dynasty. I heard the story. Black Sea… You say you’re going to the Black Sea?]
The reason Paytel stuttered in fear wasn’t because of the Black Sea or Nirgand.
In the past, when Jin was active in the Blue Bird Islands, he was so afraid of Ban and the Ming Dynasty that he was scared when he saw Sigmund.
This was because they knew how they fought against the gods during the ‘Last War’ half a millennium ago.
Especially with Ban, even though we had already talked to him several times over the past six days, just meeting him still took my breath away.
“Paytel.”
[Yes, no. Yes, great, great commander… … !]
“Grand Commander? The leader of the alliance is none other than Brother Jin. Are you Jet?”
[no. I’m sorry.]
“Let’s forget about the past. “Now that we are also members of the same union, please don’t feel too uncomfortable with me.”
[Is that so?]
“Yes. But if you make another mean or servile choice like then, the story will be different.”
[Oh, what are you saying? I am loyal to the leader. No, I don’t have a body anymore, but that never will happen anyway.]
“That’s great. Brothers, today is the first day that we all go out to fight for our lost brothers. It means it’s time to get to work. “Is everyone ready?”
“That’s right!”
“let’s go. The target is the outskirts of the Black Sea, the site of the old Sarva Kingdom capital.”
This was the area where Jin met Ozdock in the past.
Paytel immediately set the spatial jump coordinates there.
Ugh… … !
The optical heart power source was vibrating from the center of the hull.
Its output was originally the highest in terms of royalties, but the Union had once again developed the Golden Ship by leaps and bounds after the end of the Red Myeong War.
This was thanks to the technological prowess obtained by analyzing the equipment of Boras and the enemy clan, plus the power of the Mighty King.
[Kooot! With Ban and the royal family on board, the feeling of power changes again! I think I can tear down even an air fortress with this!]
The power did not decrease even after opening the ultra-long-distance portal leading directly to the Black Sea.
Just as the Ming Dynasty was now receiving the resonance of the Battle God, the power source of the Golden Ship was also being strengthened by its influence. The power source of the golden ship was made from a light heart.
[Come on, let’s go!]
Sooooook-!
The golden box entered the portal.
After a pure white landscape unfolded for a while, like an alien snowfield, the Ming Dynasty was able to see the scenery outside the Black Sea.
Paytel was so excited that he was ready to enter the Black Sea right away.
However, upon arrival, Ban decided to put the golden ship on standby outside the Black Sea.
“Baltirog, Baba, Brother Kaio. Only three people disembark. The rest of us will wait here and prepare for any other emergency.”
“Yes, Brother Tushin!”
No matter how strong each member of the Ming Dynasty is, it is not a good decision to enter an unknown area like the Black Sea as a group.
Even more so, when faced with a fierce battle with people like Nirgand or Luke, it was better to have no casual warriors. Because there are not tens of thousands of regular fighters like there were in the heyday.
“Brother Belize.”
“Please speak, Brother Tushin.”
“Your brother takes command while we enter the Black Sea. During the battle, something like spirit energy or a monster can come out from inside and head towards Inse. “Respond by patrolling the entire Black Sea outskirts with golden ships.”
“All right.”
The bridge was opened.
For a while, Ban gazed at the dark landscape of the Black Sea beyond the bridge.
I was feeling it.
The fact that the enemy is trying to escape from the Black Sea from far away, very deep.
It was an area that only half could perceive.
“Branch, brothers.”
Ban and the three Tuwangs jumped off the bridge and approached the entrance to the Black Sea.
All the monsters living at the entrance were feeling their steps, more precisely, half of them were entering the Black Sea.
Since Siron first visited the Black Sea decades ago.
To the monsters of the Black Sea, Siron and the energy he gave off became a mark of fear in itself.
The imprint was passed down through generations, like an inheritance, even to monsters who had never seen Siron in person since they were born.
And now, a new fear was being added to the monsters’ instincts. Every time Ban took a step, the hidden monsters took a step back.
The sea of monsters was splitting in half.
The class didn’t intentionally speed up. To find traces and directions of enemies that are subtle to the senses.
Soon after, Van caught the enemy’s movements.
“The enemies move very quickly. It appears that a large number of portals, or something similar, have formed throughout the Black Sea. “It’s probably the hex of those people called the Sun God Church.”
“What can I do? Brother Tushin.”
Instead of answering, Ban pointed to the far left with his index finger.
Kaio immediately understood what he meant, raised his senses, and fired the great archer’s arrow exactly where Ban requested.
Pzzzzzzzt-!
Then, the blue arrow flew for a long time and landed somewhere. It was one of the portals that Ban had mentioned.
“First, we move forward by erasing the portals they can use. “If you’re lucky enough to avoid us and get out of here, you might get tired.”
After reducing the number of passages close to Inse, use only the remaining passages to increase the possibility of encountering the enemy. That was Van’s plan.
As soon as the first passage was destroyed, the three fighting kings spread out and brandished their weapons.
Lightning rained down continuously from a bow and two long swords.
Ban moved forward slowly and struck down lightning at the locations of the portals that the brothers had missed.
It took less than ten minutes for most of the nearby portals to be cleared.
And when the scattered fighting kings returned, Ban was examining the last remaining portal.
“As expected, it is a portal using soul energy.”
It was a portal where people without immunity to marriage could be seriously exposed to radiation just by entering it, but this did not apply to the Ming Dynasty.
Ban and the Two Kings entered the portal without hesitation.
The portal led to the entrance to the middle of the Black Sea.
As the distance became closer, Ban could feel Nirgand’s power more clearly than before.
“The guy who was moving fast the whole time suddenly stopped walking. They noticed we were here… … .”
Although the distance was still quite far, I felt like I could see half of it. Nirgand’s body shrinks from an unexpected threat.
Van sentenced them in a low voice.
“The time for extinction has arrived, enemies of Brother Jin.”
