contradiction (2)
Allerard Fortress.
The citadel, 96 kilometers from Dammam, is surrounded by monsters.
Tung, Tung, Tung!
The unmanned turret installed on the wall fires 8 rounds per second of 13.2mm bullets for the monster, and arrows reinforced with fire and superpowers are pouring from the upper part of the wall.
However, monsters of at least level 7, who had adapted to the harsh environment of the desert, did not fall easily.
“… Karitatu Binyatan!”
“What is he saying now!”
To make matters worse, because the language is not unified, those dispatched from overseas cannot understand the meaning of the local heroes.
When the message was communicated through poor English belatedly, Team Asta’s AD hurriedly added an additional comment.
“A brown plague has appeared in the south!”
“What is the brown disaster! damn it!”
“Wungula (Level 5)! He will break through the walls!”
As soon as he hears the name of the monster, the engineering leader of Team Asta, who is rated 2nd grade by the Mercenary Association and 4th grade by ability, frowns.
Ungula.
The guy who travels between the ground and the underground has a round snout that chews metal like candy.
Fuck!
“Cory! Rodrigues! Follow! This is a request for support!”
“Here too… I’m too busy to die!”
“Shut up and follow me!”
Immediately after taking the flying monster with a shield and pressing it. Instead of dispatching another team, the air chief leads the main force directly to the south wall.
And the situation in the south was as he imagined, no.
It was full of unimaginable levels of misery.
One side of the castle wall was completely pierced, the outer surface of the alloy material was tattered, and the materials filling the inside were scattered on the floor.
The cause is the first-class monster Trokilgigas, the starting point of all this.
“… They say it’s a level 5 monster, son of a bitch. The battlefield information is a mess.”
“Aswa Ukeinen… … .”
“… … .”
right beside.
The group of local heroes mumbles something incomprehensible again.
Even if he doesn’t know Arabic, he seems to know what he meant, so he also makes use of a moment’s time to cross himself.
Although the height of the walls reached a whopping 25 meters.
The giant’s head was blazing in a higher place.
In addition, lightning strikes from dozens of fireballs floating in the air. Intermediate monsters rushed in through cracks in the cracked walls.
The fate of the fortress has already been decided.
“… Headquarters, this is OC-1. The main target enters the fortress. As of now, we will stop fighting and move on to the strategic retreat phase.”
[…] … .]
“… headquarters.”
It was only for a moment that I felt ominous about the unanswered radio.
The answer comes back one beat slowly.
[Confirm. OC-1, retreat. The path has been modified, so please check it through your tablet.]
“Has the route been modified? Has the plan changed?”
[…] Due to international law precedence, both teams in the international raid are retreating. In the process, the hyperloop between Riyadh and Dammam was damaged.]
“These damn cubs… … .”
It is said that bad news comes all at once, but the news heard through earphones has many meanings.
The 2nd level attack group was defeated and even the hyper loop was destroyed in the process of withdrawing.

More than anything else, the worst thing was that they left about 300 defenders on the field and did not even inform them of the retreat.
“Captain, what shall we do?”
“How do you do it? have to run away It goes hyperloop.”
“Yes? That one-”
“At least, the car’s acceleration system just doesn’t work. The cylinder surrounding the road is probably broken, so you can move to the desert to avoid the damaged area, break the outer wall, and re-enter. After all, it’s the same as driving a car.”
“… … .”
“Shut up and follow me. Because options other than Dammam are meaningless.”
However, just as the mercenaries are about to leave the scene of the battle, an incident occurs and attention is drawn to them.
inside the wall.
Trokilgigas suddenly stopped moving, losing shape and crumbling.
The bumpy skin fell off like melting, and the huge body also disappeared like flying powder.
In the middle of the fight unfolds everywhere. Considering that it is an attack against a first-class monster, it cannot even break through the shield, so naturally, curious eyes are attached to it.
And unfortunately, that fleeting interest led to tragedy.
Pad deuk!
Hundreds of thousands of hummingbirds spread out in an instant.
“this… Aagh!”
The sparks that sprang from the wings smoked the building, and the sharp beak, like a mixture of steel, lodged itself in the human body.
The size of a hummingbird is 5 centimeters.
Countless numbers were added to the small body, so there was no means to stop them.
like that.
The end has come for Allerard.
* * *
I won’t say that I knew that.
The only good thing about blaming allies is the enemy.
Still, there were some positives.
Despite the deaths of about 280 people, Trokilgigas’ awakening period could not be confirmed, and only two teams of international raiders and some people with special powers were rescued.
Because I was able to experience advanced combat techniques through real-time video.
Not to mention, the Tier 2 International Raiders were pretty impressive.
It showed how to use a fire-type wizard to the limit. It wasn’t just using long spells, it was literally with the help of science and technology.
‘Check the coordinates.’
‘I will induce an air explosion. 20 seconds before reaching the battlefield.’

Missiles that fell precisely at the target point spewed out flames before reaching the claws of the monsters, and the wizard drew power without the burden of depleting his abilities.
Of course, it wasn’t enough to bring out the awakening of a first-class monster, so I soon burst out like a dog’s wings and became a fugitive, but-
＜I know you’re upset, but can you stop? If you could win an award for your sarcasm, you’d have an international reputation right away.＞
Then, suddenly, the parrot pointed out my tone and sarcastically again.
Is this a vicious cycle?
“You acknowledged what you had to admit.”
＜I’m pretty sure I’ll admit it. After I took you to the rear, there is no such thing as this.＞
I have nothing to say when the cold reality is pointed out.
Philip Noire.
Because this poor human put the entire Project L down to the third line. In fact, even if a battle broke out, there would be no reason to stand on the front line.
“… That was an unfair order.”
＜So, who wants to catch the pod at the meeting?＞
“It wasn’t something that was severely pointed out, was it?”
Looking at the results, I was right.
In the world of heroes, it seemed that authority and fame were important.
＜It’s not something I can’t understand.＞
“what?”
＜It’s not something I can’t understand. That person also had his own circumstances.＞
Then, all of a sudden, a parrot began to speak for a world-renowned hero.
＜Originally, an additional Tier 1 raid was planned to join. Trokilgigas moved eastward unexpectedly quickly and was destroyed. Besides, Project L is a new team that has just been formed. I don’t have much experience, so it must have been hard to trust.＞
“Where did you hear that?”
I wanted to respond with sarcasm, but the first step was to ask the source of the information.
＜I didn’t hear it, I saw it. did you forget This parrot has ‘three-dimensional sense’. It’s easy enough to look inside the tent.＞
“… Anything else?”
＜Well, the US government didn’t want you to be in direct danger? Even though Venetus and Scorpio have great power, they are level 3 monsters. I wasn’t sure if it would be of any real help against level 1. But in fact, apart from other things, they were nervous that you would die during the operation. In fact, Philippe Noire wanted to commit. The man in the video refused.＞
In the meantime, preparations for the final battle are in full swing in various places in the barracks, but I belatedly turn my head and face the bird’s eyeballs.
The equipment was promptly put on, the combat support team was far away, and the talkative girls’ attention was diverted to the large-scale combat operation, giving them plenty of time to talk.
“I am listening. continue.”
＜There is nothing to continue. Because the plan itself is similar to that of Russia. If Team Fate passes through the awakening period, Project L is put in. At that time, I believe that Venetus and Scorpio will do their part well enough.＞
“… The number of people is only eight hundred, will that work?”
＜The Hummingbird’s family also came in a hurry, so I couldn’t bring too many. About 2,000 or so? These heroes are one or two levels higher than Fortress Allerard, so they will support you.＞
“… … .”
＜Oh, yes, there was an evacuation plan.＞
And always, the main point comes at the very end.
He pretends to be insignificant, but the flirtatiousness that subtly avoids eye contact made me guess that it is something that will offend me.
＜If there is no chance of victory, the deal is to get out of here through Kobar. Kobar is a port city attached right below Dammam, King Fard? It is said that a very long bridge called Fahd is connected to Bahrain. Said the Salvation had already been put there.＞
“Abandon Dammam?”
＜Well. Wouldn’t the expression throw away be inappropriate? The Saudi Arabian government came out uncooperative first. It says don’t come in, but don’t go in.＞
“… Trokylgis will come after me. Dammam aside, Bahrain.”
＜Um, that’s something the people of Bahrain have to think about, right? don’t even bother with that He said he wasn’t going to throw it away anyway. Even if the Saudi government collapses, it will try to recapture it by supporting the families of other major tribes… … .＞
For a while, feelings of dissatisfaction filled my head.
＜Calm down.＞
A parrot’s sting awakens the spirit.
＜I wasn’t going to say this, but… It’s not like you today I understand that you are shaken because you met an enemy right in front of you, and a person who did a great job of beheading you. But now that’s not what’s important. It’s a sacrifice for the greater good, it’s a nabal, and in the end, it’s a problem that will end when you defeat the monster. So let’s put personal feelings aside and focus on the core.＞
“… main point?”
＜It’s the same thing for you and Philippe Noire to move reluctantly. If you don’t have the power to defeat it alone, you should at least use it according to your own interests. Who are you? He was the man called Robo, the Wolf King.＞
‘Use according to personal interests.’
It was a word that pierced the lungs.
＜If you’re a villain, think like a villain. Do you take care of yourself in the first line?＞
“On the contrary, thank you.”
＜Yes. Anyway, if you really don’t like it, why don’t we fight after everything is over? Of course, from the perspective of others, he is a hero among typical heroes… not. Seeing that, a lot has changed.＞
“… what?”
＜Since before, you kept sacrificing, sacrificing. Are you a real hero?＞
However, at the end of the conversation, it was the sound of a bird again. Soon, he responds to the call of the engineering commander, gets up from his seat, and puts away his complicated mind.
Just in time, far away, on the plain, where it is clearly revealed that there is no mountain range even after washing your eyes.
A group of monsters was swarming.
