290-The Great War (10)
Episode 290-The Great War (10)
If only I could catch that b*tch, if only I could catch that guy.
Then this terrible war will end. It is about achieving victory.
Both Serenian and Orca sensed this and reported it to their followers. It has already become a great war involving the entire continent, but both sides agree that it must end before the damage increases further.
Thanks to not avoiding each other, a lot was implicitly at stake in this one fierce battle.
“You can do enough. “The imperial army has not yet been able to gather its strength into one point.”
The staff of the alliance to which Serenian belonged calculated that there was a good chance of victory. Although Serenian himself flew in hastily, it was the imperial army that fundamentally moved more hastily.
Unlike when she rushed the elves to the empire’s capital, the imperial army that Orca joined had not yet joined the reserve forces in the rear.
‘The Elf Queen, she will regret not staying in Eden or whatever it is.’
Of course, the source of that confidence was Orca’s own powerlessness. The strongest person who can change the battlefield with just one person.
“I’ll show that arrogant bastard a taste of cannons.”
Garon, a dwarven craftsman and leader of a battery in the war, snorted at the sight of Orca and made a request.
Originally, the idea was to attack Orca using the super heavy artillery he had brought with him as an anti-aircraft gun to intercept airships. A special move prepared by Eden. One of them was this cannon.
“Is it possible? “I heard you can only shoot with a howitzer.”
“If you take a little damage from the cannon… It is possible.”
Garon nodded to her words in a solemn voice. If you take the damage from the cannon, it is possible to aim and shoot the enemy directly.
It was clearly a risky gamble. But Serenian hesitated for a moment and then nodded his head.
“Try it.”
“Thank you. Every! “Prepare the cannons!”
Orca is a monster. It made no sense for her to save strength to catch that monster. She made a decision carefully and rationally.
And Garon, who was thrilled by that decision, shouted in a slightly somber voice to the personnel of the battery to prepare the cannon.
“Is it possible to guess the orca?”
“It doesn’t matter if you don’t get it right. This is a declaration of war. It is enough to break the defensive spell or lower the enemy’s morale.”
The probability of being hit by a miss was also high. However, in response to Benert’s concerns, Serenian was confident that even if he missed the mark, there would be benefits.
‘I know how powerful it is. If you hit, you will never be safe.’
Thanks to the fact that Ren, a spiritist who controls the power of spirits and a core force, was left behind in the main unit, it was impossible to use the elemental rail gun, the strongest attack that Serenians could attempt.
But the Serenians believed in the power of cannons. This is because even with the power of pure gunpowder, as with its enormous size and caliber, it produces power that is in no way inferior to the Serenian’s railgun.
“Ready!”
“Dissipate heat!”
A huge cannon placed horizontally on the ground gradually adjusted its muzzle through the efforts of countless people.
Garon was more nervous than ever and instructed to calculate the range and wind direction and adjust the angle and position.
‘Be sure to get it right!’
Serenian thought that even if he missed, there would be an advantage and that this preemptive attack was a kind of warning anyway, but his opinion was different.
With all his pride in being a cannon expert in name and reality, he planned to hit the Orca that was approaching from the front without fail.
“Heat dissipation is over!”
“Ready!”
The cannon was finally ready to fire and had perfect fine tuning. Garon crumpled the paper he was holding, held his pounding chest, and took a deep breath.
“Shoot!”

And as soon as he shouted, the cannon made a loud noise and a cannonball was fired. A shock wave of immense power pierced through the body even though everyone took a step back and covered their ears. The cannonball, which flew farther than any weapon or any magic, flew precisely towards Orca.
It is a fleeting moment of ‘oops’. As soon as most people see a huge cannonball flying towards them, they will be hit by the cannonball and be blown to smithereens.
“As expected, it looked like he was going to do something.”
However, the Orca that was actually targeted appeared small in the distance, and laughed at the sight of the cannon sparkling and spewing flames for a moment.
They don’t give you time to think. The cannonball hit them before the people around them were even aware of it. Orca placed his hand on the sword he wore around his waist.
“W-what happened!”
“aaah!”
Immediately after, the imperial army that screamed was frightened and faltered. Some people fell down and some screamed in surprise.
“Defense shield!”
They opened their eyes wide as they saw the wave of mana. Although the magicians’ shield protecting the front line received a strong impact, it did not break. If the shell had hit with its original force, it would have been destroyed instantly.
“What are you afraid of? We will win Like the last great war, like when we killed the Demon King!”
The one who split the incoming shell in half and drastically reduced its power was Orca, who raised a sword high in the sky that could not be seen as to when she had swung it.
As soon as his sword overflowing with mana was pulled out from its sheath, not only the cannonball but also the ground in front and even the clouds in the sky were split apart.
“This is ridiculous.”
“Is that a human being? Well, does that make sense!? “How on earth!”
Orca saw this as an opportunity, and by slashing the sky, it suddenly became the Alliance Army that was overpowered.
In particular, Garon, who had blind faith in the power of this super heavy artillery that had been crushing enemies with ease until now, was so stammering and fell to the ground at its unreasonable strength.
[Dangerous]
“…!”
Serenian’s face hardened, but his eyes twitched. The lightning spirit, who had not spoken for a long time, came forward and warned.
“Everyone, don’t be shaken. “In the end, it is just an ordeal that must be overcome.”
“But queen…”
“We will defend freedom. “Against the corrupt oppression and control that seeks to control this world.”
Serenian stayed where he was even after hearing the warning. He says that when he runs away, everyone falls apart. And he himself becomes a fugitive once again.
‘I can never do that.’
She gritted her teeth, recalling the past, when she was alone and exiled by her own people. She trained and became stronger so as not to repeat it.
She served him and held him in her heart in order to forget.
“Take up your weapons. “It is a temple for all of us!”
She, riding on a fairy ant, stepped forward first toward the Orca and Imperial troops who were approaching with her drawn sword.
If she does that, who can escape? Allied forces gathered here, regardless of race or faction, also gathered their fearful hearts and began marching across the wide plain.
“They are golems. “There are more of them than our golems!”
“Everyone get out of the way!”
Golems, a product of magical engineering made of stone or metal, have now become the mainstay of the battlefield. At that time, the Federation also mobilized golems to block the battle golems that the imperial army had begun to advance.
Another weapon prepared by Serenian revealed its gigantic form.
“I got scolded for hiding it.”
“Stop making a fuss and focus on controlling!”
A huge black tank burst out from the side, splitting the ground with its large wheels and began charging towards the bewildered imperial troops.
Battlebots were disassembled and taken out to the forest. This miniature car with elven archers on it became a bull on the battlefield and plowed into the helpless imperial army.
“What a monster! “They are acting like monsters!”
“Run away!”
“No, stay where you are. Those who run away…Argh!”
The toy is 5CM long and 3CM high, and its wheels are as big as their height.
Furthermore, when the beast’s shell was used to make it look like a bull, the imperial army was astonished and had no choice but to break down.
And everyone knows that if the ranks break down right before a collision like this, the battle cannot be won.
“Is this also a gift from an evil spirit?”
There is no way the commander would let that happen. Orca, who stopped laughing, opened his eyes grimly and ran towards the battle bot with his sword in hand.
“Damage, you bastard!”
Orca rushed forward, pushing away the panicked soldiers, and swung his sword at once. The slash that came out was trapped in the huge and fierce battle bot.
Then, the Battlebot, with one of its wheels split in half, stopped moving. Suddenly, I was isolated like a remote island in the midst of enemies.
“You came here to die. “Is this the power of the god you believe in?”
“It is extremely dangerous.”
When Orca raised her sword again, the elves laughed bitterly and activated something.
Then, something inside the plastic shell of the Battlebot, which had been installed by the elf shamans including Pia, started shaking and made the already huge Battlebot shake.
