Originally, there is an item that is the first thing to pack when doing a large-scale subjugation.
Just drums and trumpets.
There are no in-ears like on Earth, so I don’t know if the scale is small, but the more people gather, the more there is a limit to giving instructions through upbringing.
Therefore, make sure to keep the sound of the drum and the sound of the trumpet different so that you can give basic instructions.
However, that was during a normal subjugation battle.
The overwhelmingly strong monsters like now are the ones I’ve never faced, so from Commander-in-Chief Reinhardt to each subjugation leader, who should watch the battle situation and give instructions.
All the people who beat the drums and blow the trumpets had to be put into battle, so instead of them, they brought one more sword.
Be prepared to give it your all.
‘And I have the same determination.’
From Kane to Rachel. I pushed all my people into battle.
I tapped the transparent aegis that was linked and only visible to my eyes with my fingertips.
The Aegis, which slowly spiraled around the body and was in defense mode, the moment I believed in it and separated from it, I was overcome with a strange feeling.
Have you ever fallen here and stood in front of a huge enemy without Luna or Kane?
Up until now, I had never been in a dangerous situation alone, so I licked my dry lips with my tongue and launched the codex into the air.
“If we had had a little more time, even one more mage could have been supported.”
“I can’t help it. We have always fought like this, so this time will be like that too.”
A woman who appears to be his throne puts a helmet on Reinhardt’s head.
They didn’t bring drums and bugles, but they brought the only short-range communication artifact that was also available at the base.
The two of them shared it, and Reinhardt opened his mouth.
“Then please come here.”
“Yes, Commander-in-Chief.”
―Thump, boom!
From noble mtl dot com.
A slow vibration sounded from far away. It was very faintly audible to my ears, but gradually gets louder as time goes by.
―Thump, boom!
And not only the sound, but the vibration came up from the tip of the foot. A canyon that exists between the hills and the outpost.
At the top of the command post, only me and Reinhardt’s aide were standing.
Dozens of Aura users holding bows were standing along the canyon line, and at the bottom of the canyon, as if drawing a semicircle, a group of mercenaries and subjugation soldiers were waiting with their weapons.
As the thumping vibration gets louder, the spreading tension creeps up to this place.
“I would like to hear the truth from you if you will not excuse me. Will you allow me?”
Charleuk.
I turned Kruger’s ring around because it felt like my fingertips were getting dull, but I looked back at her words standing next to me.
“Whatever you said.”
Reinhardt’s aide asked with cold eyes at my words with a smile.
“Did you participate in this battle for fun?”
“A different experience? How many of the nobles sitting on their butts in the royal capital of the empire have seen a cyclops?”
what was your name Meisha?
Maisha lifted up her slipped glasses and opened her mouth again.
“Did you participate thinking you had a chance?”
“of course. My party is the best.”
I don’t know why, but Meisha looks slightly surprised at what I say while shrugging her shoulders playfully.
Did he look like a stupid aristocrat who didn’t know much about the world?
“okay… … . There is a chance.”
At the moment when Meisha’s words were mixed with the wind and sounded blurry, the siren cried.
＜Bocchan. I think you need to come to the main house urgently.＞
“Ahh. I’ll be there soon.”
“Kuaaa!”
The subjugation team under the gorge shouted and rushed towards the Cyclops who appeared while screaming.
Arrow artifacts dedicated to the monsters flew from both sides of the gorge loaded with mana, and small magic blown by a handful of wizards pierced Cyclops’ body and exploded.
Reinhardt, clad in silver armor, jumped up to look like he was covered in light and cut the back of Cyclops’ knee, while Kane, dressed all in black, cut Cyclops’ finger as he tried to grab a man with a sword larger than his body.
＜I will hold the target.＞
Kane’s words echoed in my mind so as not to move during the activation time.
Then I smiled lowly and put my hand on the backmost page of the codex.
“A ray of judgment sent down by the wrath of the heavens.”
* * *
“Meisha. There is something for you to find out.”
“What do you mean, Commander-in-Chief?”
Reinhardt opened his mouth at Meisha’s question as she lifted up her slipped glasses with her fingers.
“Did you say Adelian?”
The name of the Kruger family’s madman comes out of Reinhardt’s mouth.
Meisha frowned a little because she was already a person like a thorn in the eye.
“What do you want to know about him?”
“When we met briefly earlier. I secretly released mana and pressured him.”
Monster subjugation is not just a game, so he wanted to solve the task easily with a little pressure or actions that the usual Reinhardt would not have done.
“Are you talking about Mana? but… … .”
No matter how weakly he released mana to pressure Adelian without anyone knowing, a strong man like Reinhardt would not have been able to pass the pressure with a smile.
‘But Adelian, that man.’
Didn’t it even look like that at all? Rather, he just talked with a cheeky expression and laughed softly.
“He acts as if he doesn’t feel my mana,”
“When I was watching, I didn’t notice anything unnatural.”
At Meisha’s words, Reinhardt continued, stroking the chin where the rough beard had grown a little.
“But, as far as I can tell, the mana he had in his body was lower than that of an ordinary person.”
awesome
Meisha clenched her fist at the meaning of those words, and the quill she was holding broke and black ink flowed down the blade of her hand.
“If it’s to such an extent that even the commander-in-chief can’t fathom it, there can be few reasons.”
An artifact with a powerful effect, or a strong person with a very high level.
“Either way you say you can’t ignore it. And if that’s the case, the subjugation of the Cyclops this time.”
“Is it really the same as being dropped as a playground?”
Or you have other ulterior motives.
As if thinking of something, Reinhardt slightly narrowed his eyes and opened his mouth.
“I would like to ask if he is the one behind the sacrifice and the wake of the Cyclops.”
I will take all responsibility.
At Reinhardt’s words, as a last resort, magic bombs were planted all over the cliffs as a way to prevent the Cyclops from moving south as much as possible.
Meirin, who recalled one of them, nodded.
* * *
Perbung! Pervert!
phut!
Dozens of magic-engraved arrows flew and exploded from the Cyclops’ body.
A few wizards threw their magic with all their might, and the subjugation team members, avoiding the giant hands, cut their bodies with auras on their weapons.
However, on the outside, there is no soot and no minor scratches.
“Don’t stop, keep attacking!”
“Little by little, but mana is decreasing!”
Monsters that have surpassed a certain level are impregnated with mana in their hides, so they cannot be attacked by normal attacks. Like the twin-headed ogre from before.
And monsters that are stronger than that have a thin layer of mana over their body, which is called a shield in the subjugation team.
“Even if we can’t stab the skin!”
“Because the shield can be removed.”
The subjugation team members shouted and attacked.
“Ah… … !”
After avoiding the swinging arm, I applied the sword strike once more, and eventually flew away with a puck sound, and even though my body twisted as I was caught in the grip.
One more time, one more time!
Even though I don’t have the ability to cut through the mana-infused skin, the shield is cut as much as I hit it.
Save Reinhardt’s mana so he can use it to decapitate Cyclops.
Even if the sword that was swung and cut once and for all was weak, dozens or hundreds of punitive squad members and mercenaries rushed at it and stabbed the Cyclops’ feet, which were not even scratched, and the hand coming down to strike.
“Okay, big!”
Things like flying flies gather under me and sting me.
Cyclops raised his hand high, then slammed it hard on the floor, grabbed the exploding thing in his palm, lifted his head, and thrust it into his mouth.
The life force that smells sweet along with the blood that spreads.
Intoxicated by the taste, he stretches out his hand again, but a black flying fly instantly attacks with a strong attack.
His fingers shrunk as he couldn’t grasp the shield as well as the mana-infused skin. and that moment.
At the same time, the blade, which was larger than the fly’s body, unraveled in the air and wrapped around the Cyclops’ wrist like a thorny vine, cutting it down to the floor.
“Cheung!”
As soon as he tried to pull his hand back up, a sword sprouted from the end of the vine that had been wrapped around his wrist and stabbed the back of his hand, fixing it to the floor. At the same time, clouds began to gather over Cyclops’ head.
“Everyone step aside!”
The moment the other flies unknowingly flung their bodies back with the mana carried by the voice of the black flying flies.
Kwazz that is!
“Kwaaang!”
phut!
The white lightning strike from the sky flashed on and off several times, dyeing the whole area white.
As if all of Cyclops’ shields had burst, black smoke billowed from his body, and at the same time, his tanned skin cracked and the pieces fell to the floor.
And the red muscle texture wriggled, and after blinking a few times, everything was regenerated before I knew it.
“after.”
As if it was difficult to hold on any longer, Kane changed Scar into a normal longsword shape and backed off.
In the aftermath of the momentary explosion of bitter mana, I frowned slightly at the taste of blood spreading in my mouth, but Reinhardt dressed in silver armor came to my side and opened his mouth.
“Recover in a little while.”
“Kreuk!”
Then, seeing the Cyclops screaming and throwing rocks over the cliff with a greatsword, Kane swallowed blood and ran his sleeve over his mouth.
If he was the same age as Reinhardt, he would surely become stronger than him.
but.
‘Right now, a little more.’
Kane ran, feeling that his mental strength and aura, which had been consumed by overly transforming Scar’s shape, were gradually being filled.
Staggering as if stepping on a pit dug by the subjugation team, he steps on the Cyclops kneeling on one knee, then jumps up to the ribs and pushes Scar into it.
A sense of resistance as if pushing a sword into a rock, along with the taste of the tough leather that had been recovered before I knew it, pushed through by more than an inch.
When I swung my arm against the feeling that I couldn’t believe it was the body of a living thing, unlike the goblin’s red blood, green blood burst and I felt the condensed steel-like bones get caught in the sword.
Before I could break it properly, when a palm larger than the door of the mansion tried to hit me, Kane twisted his body and jumped backwards.
The Cyclops, unable to overcome his anger, stomped his foot, causing the floor to shake like an earthquake, and some of the people who could not stand it lost their balance and fell.
When he finds it and steps on it, pieces of red flesh are smeared between the Cyclops’ toes, and blood seeps into the hole where the heel was cut.
“Those who consumed mana fall back!”
After confirming that the shield that protects the body is also peeled off and the mana of the leather gradually declines with hundreds and thousands of attacks.
One of the subjugation leaders gestured toward the inside of the cliff, and a huge ballista moved its heavy wheels and rolled out.
It’s something you can’t use when you’re protecting yourself with a shield.
Thanks to the enchantment of penetrating magic for each shot, the budget was insufficient to equip it in large quantities, but it was a gigantic arrow that was somehow scraped together.
I loaded it into a ballista and attached a chain to the back.
A hand signal fell the moment someone poured dozens of magic at the Cyclops, who was stomping and rampaging, and the Cyclops turned his head towards it.
Peeing! ping! Pak!
A huge arrow pierced the body of the Cyclops with a chain hanging behind it, and at the same time, the head was opened like an umbrella.
Two feet on one arm, one on the waist and one on each leg.
The moment he confirmed that five bullets had penetrated Cyclops’ body, the subjugation leader shouted.
“Pull!”
