A Village Has Appeared on My Desktop chapter 118

Episode 118 – Fierce Battle (8)

‘But if it’s like this?’

Those fighting on the field may be fighting to the death, but from the perspective looking down from above, I couldn’t help but think this way.

Perhaps because the wall had been built in advance, the bugs had to climb up and get over the wall, no matter what tactics they had learned.

Then, the firepower poured in by our allies destroyed them. Even if there are no machine guns or cannons, there are arrows that can instantly pierce their bodies and magic that causes explosions.

Among them, there were those who attempted to attack from a distance by shooting thorns using biological gas, but such people were few.

Our troops also prioritized sniping and dealing with those guys in order to continue the one-sided attack.

“Is it really easy to win?”

My feelings of uncertainty are gradually turning into hope. Minimizing damage is always a good thing. In addition, defense turrets could be upgraded in real time to further increase firepower.

Even the most stubborn and gigantic bugs cannot withstand its firepower and die before they can approach, so if you repeat the upgrade like this, your defense will become stronger.

‘The magic is really good too.’

It wasn’t just the defensive turrets that exploded with firepower. The wizards, whose numbers had now increased considerably, were also unleashing the skills they had learned without hesitation, killing multiple enemies at once.

The great magic that Larsen had learned had not even been used. It looks like the roots of the bugs have already been revealed, so if things can go on without any variables, victory is certain.

“Ugh, I guess there is at least a hidden trick.”

But if we could really stop them at this level, we wouldn’t have been so wary of them, and they wouldn’t have sent troops so many times to watch over us.

[Crack occurs]

“—!”

While all the personnel were fighting desperately against the wall, a space crack began to appear behind them. Isolated cracks that occur occasionally. It just so happened that it appeared now.

As I watched the residents panicking and shaking, I was convinced that the crack had not appeared by chance.

Although such a one-shot rift only has a limited number of enemies that appear at once, it can neutralize the allies’ defense line like this. It was clearly a secret tactic used to overturn the battlefield disadvantage.

‘You can’t shake it.’

I can’t turn the direction of the defense turrets backwards for fear of being pushed forward.

For now, I used the chainsaw I was saving for and watched the residents as they rushed to respond by sending some troops back. They were also embarrassed because they had a lot of experience, but they didn’t collapse to this extent.

“You clever bastards.”

I clicked my tongue at the enemy’s tactics while looking at the residents in great confusion. Isolated cracks have been shown many times, but the cracks have never directly appeared within the fortress occupied by our forces.

Thanks to this, we were unconsciously wary of those who directly infiltrated the fortress. I don’t know if they were really aiming for this, but at least it can be seen that they intentionally opened a crack only outside the fortress.

***

“Unbelievable! Behind, behind! “They have infiltrated the fortress!”

“what!? Was it pierced!?”

“It’s pierced!?”

That time when everyone becomes one and looks forward. The shouting that was close to a scream coming from the rear was enough to cause great confusion.

It didn’t take long for a small ripple to suddenly turn into a huge commotion. I was fighting hard against the monsters swarming in front of me, but the fact that they appeared behind me meant that I couldn’t help but think that something had broken through.

“Everyone calm down. “Just like before, a few of them have appeared!”

Rakum, whose face turned pale, desperately reassured the soldiers. But anyway, if you don’t deal with the bugs that appear in the background, this mess will never subside.

“Larsen! Use your magic! And Riku, work with the nearby soldiers to block those who appear behind you.”

Rakum decided that he needed something to fix the gaze of the shaking soldiers. When it comes to a huge magic circle opening in the sky and the enemies being annihilated by that magic, there was nothing more suitable to attract attention.

Larsen, who heard his brother’s urgent voice, looked at the battlefield while conserving his strength, then raised his staff and immediately cast magic.

“Oh, oh!”

Lihar, who was not far away, was amazed when he saw it. The irrational anti-magic magic that seemed absurd when they were attacked has become an extremely powerful and reassuring force at this moment. Hundreds, perhaps thousands, of enemies died on the sizzling ground after being hit by flaming arrows.

“When you have time to admire, look ahead! “Here we come again!”

“Ugh.”

However, unlike before, Lihar could not continue to watch Larsen’s magic. This was because right in front of them, huge monsters had climbed up the wall and were cracking their sharp jaws, trying to cut them into pieces at once.

Lihar was frightened by the sight of Glitch suddenly sticking out his torso-sized face and widening his jaw, so he immediately fired a flame bullet and blew off its entire head.

But that wasn’t the end, so Rihar gasped and hurriedly prepared the next spell.

“What a fool.”

“Why, why but!?”

However, someone hit Lihar on the back. A soldier holding a spear shouted at Rihar, who had been distracted for a moment after seeing Larsen’s magic, and brought him to his senses.

Now that I see it, Lihar’s face has become familiar. It was none other than the person who was ticking at himself next to Larsen.

“Don’t fire needlessly, but use your magic at those far away. “That way, we won’t kill even one more animal.”

“Then what on earth are these people doing climbing up?”

“We can kill these guys!”

He shouted at Rihar, blocked his path, swung the spear in his hand, and pierced the head of one of the Glitch who had climbed up.

Rihar was speechless when he saw the platform blocking his path.

‘Where is this kind of war?’

Rihard also had a wealth of experience, having taken an elite course and being recognized for his skills, receiving important missions. Suppress rebels inside the kingdom and fight marauders on the border.

However, the war he was experiencing now was different from any war he knew. The bugs that came in as enemies were different from normal enemies.

No matter how dead or injured they are, they are monsters of obsession and madness that trample on the bodies of their comrades and crawl on them until the end.

What Lihar was truly afraid of was that those monsters showed no emotion, as if it was natural.

It seemed as if they thought it was natural to tear down and kill other living beings living on this earth, just like drinking water, eating food, and breathing. Mercy or dialogue are not even considerations for these guys whose sole purpose is to kill.

“Li, Lihar!”

“Squeeze out more strength. “It must be stopped!”

Lihar held up his staff, encouraged the other wizards, and poured the most powerful magic he could at the monsters teeming under the wall.

There is hardly an end in sight right now, but it was absolutely necessary to see the end.

‘Can we stop it? ‘You can stop it, right?’

As the fierce battle unfolded, Lakum glanced behind him. Some of the personnel he dispatched are appropriately dealing with those who appeared through a crack in the rear.

Although it was shaken, the wall was still strong thanks to Larsen’s great magic and the power of the front-line soldiers who quickly came to their senses.

Even at this very moment, countless defense turrets that are repeatedly leveling up are continuing to explode with firepower, as if they don’t know the word “overload.”

Even though one unexpected variable occurred, it was a relatively successful defense.

“Things are good. “The cleanup at the back has been completed, and the front has been able to survive without being breached, so if we continue like this, they will all die first.”

“Don’t be too relieved.”

Rakum, who twitched the hand holding the spear, shook his head with difficulty at the reactions of the people around him who were slowly beginning to feel relieved. It was thanks to my resolve to never let down my guard against these unusual monsters.

‘Is this really all there is? How about opening a space in the back and dropping a few dozen of them?’

However, since Rakum is also human, it was inevitable that he would feel discouraged. They secretly thought that if there were no other tricks hidden by the bugs, those who succeeded in dealing with them well would win.

“Push!”

“Look, more than half are dead. “We win!”

Those fighting on the front lines could also feel that atmosphere. This boosted their morale and they resisted more fiercely.

Even though the bugs barely withstood the merciless bombardment of the defense turrets and climbed up the walls, they were hit by the spears, swords, and axes of the warriors and soldiers guarding the top, and were falling to the ground.

‘Luckily you found stability?’

Lihar, who was supporting his allies with magic on the front lines, also felt that atmosphere. The mana shield cast by Lihar bounced off the sharp thorns fired from underneath.

“This is useful. “No scratches.”

“Don’t be too careless.”

He avoided injury thanks to the shield provided by Lihar, and with a grin, he retrieved the spear dripping with the enemy’s bodily fluids. Even though Rihar was slowly losing stamina, he smiled at the sight.

As we fought for our lives, our hands and feet worked together quickly.

“There’s really not much left now!”

Feeling that there must be a protective shield around his body and the atmosphere would be nice, he mustered up the last of his strength, picked up the spear, and hurled it at Glitch, who had just happened to climb up the castle wall.

“…uh?”

However, the glitch, which had hitherto been pierced through the head at once by the spear, was not hit by the spear this time. He moved his head slightly to avoid the window.

He was surprised and opened his eyes wide. I reflexively retrieved the spear, but that was also impossible.

“Hey, did this guy catch you?”

The glitch moved one of its front legs and grabbed the spear. But that leg looks a bit unusual. Unlike other ant feet, which are split into two, it had a structure that allowed its four fingers to move freely.

‘Are you up?’

At that moment, he was the only one who noticed that this guy was fundamentally different from the others. This grotesque monster stood upright on the wall, holding its spear, standing on two legs like a human, glaring at him with red eyes shining through the gaps in its black head armor.

“Ugh, ugh!”

Feeling instinctive fear, he hurriedly pulled up the spear as if he would fall backwards.

At the same time, the guy who was holding the spear released his strength and immediately climbed up the castle wall.

“Oh, no!”

In the process, Rihar was astonished to see his protective shield surrounding his body being shattered with a single blow.

The enemy jumped up onto the castle wall at once, and with blood spraying and the sound of a body split in half, he stood on ‘two legs’ on the wall.
