249 – Kalak, the Kneeling Lycan (2)
Wolfenser, the city of wolves.
… In fact, there are no proper walls or buildings, and compared to human civilization, it is embarrassing to call it a ‘city’.
Nevertheless, the Lycans were clearly calling it a city.
Because this was the only place where werewolves developed civilization.
In the past, Wolfenser was a paradise for wolves.
All werewolves gathered together to make a living and cultivate the interior, and it was a city created by numerous tribes within the Lycans together.
But…
After the day of the great tribal war, Wolfenser changed.
The Barathen tribe, one of the two major mountain tribes within the clan, was expelled from the city after being defeated in the Great War, and all remaining tribes within the city were ruled by the Kalak tribe.
All Lycans who did not acknowledge Khalak’s rule were killed or expelled from the city, so the Lycans had no choice but to follow this reign of terror.
Is that why?
Wolfenser, called the paradise of wolves, was filled with a gloomy and gloomy aura.
Quaaang-!!
And the central area of Ulpenser.
A building built much taller than the surrounding buildings.
Also called the ‘Palace’, the main gathering place of the Kalak camp.
An angry sound of destruction was heard inside.
It was the sound of a large fist coming down and smashing the chair base.
“Do you think it makes sense to lose even 100,000!!”
An explosive shout is heard soon.
This is a sound coming from the person who was sitting on a chair decorated as splendidly as a throne, and who destroyed the chair.
A large figure with strong hair covering its entire body.
The face of a wolf with a sharp expression.
Leader and tribal chief of the Kalak camp…
It was Blake, a lycan who called himself a king.
“I’m sorry, Tol!!”
“Sorry!”
Due to Blake’s uncontrollable anger, all the surrounding Lycan warriors knelt down and apologized.
Just as the leader of the Barathen camp is called Tol Baraten, the tribal leader of Kalak is also called Tol Kalak.
However, the treatment is very different.
If Barathen’s Tol and the awakened warriors respect each other and have reasonable conversations, inside Kalak there is only domination and submission.
Just as many werewolves within the Wolfenser obeyed the Kalak camp, the Lycans and awakened warriors of the Kalak camp also had to obey the Tol, Blake.
So even in this situation, everyone took a low-key stance and apologized to Tol first.
“Federique.”
“Yes!”
When Blake spoke in a slightly calming voice, the Lycan at the front among the kneeling warriors responded.
It was Federik, a lycan who was in charge of the Kalak camp’s staff.
“Explain it again properly.”
“Yes. The damage this time is different from what it was at Duke. “Duke was killed while personally accompanying the Lycans outside of operational hours, but Lark was killed during a formal reconnaissance mission.”
“… Are you sure?”
“Yes. “This is confirmed through the ‘Record of the People’ rune, which is an injection enhancement technique.”
[Records of the People] Runes are one of the strengthening techniques of the barbarian clan Barbarians.
A kind of conditional rune version of the [Recording Crystal Ball] Item that allows you to share what you have directly reported and heard from your compatriots who possess the relevant ability.
It was thanks to this rune that the Kalak camp learned of Duke’s death, and it was also thanks to this rune that they created the [Accel Piercing] Countermeasure accordingly.
In other words…
What Federique was saying now was all ‘facts.’
Quaaang-!!
Blake’s fist comes down again.
This time it was the left chair stand.
“Does that make sense!! Kalak’s scouting unit was just defeated by the Barathen bastards?!”
Uncontrolled anger bursts out of him.
Kalak Reconnaissance Unit and Barathen Reconnaissance Unit.
It was absolutely impossible in his common sense for the former to lose in a clash between the two.
Then Federique stopped him with a shocked look.
“Ji, calm down, Tol. According to records, the size of the enemy’s forces was by no means negligible.”
“… Troop size?”
“Yes. This was not simply a scouting unit of Barathen. The 8th Division, led by Schilten, was an allied force comprised of the humans who killed the Duke. And considering that the enemy’s main force arrived at the end….”
Federique held his breath for a moment and continued speaking.
“All-out war. “This is a declaration of all-out war by the Barathen guys, putting all their effort into our Kalak.”
“… What?”
“…… !!”
“That…” !!”
This time, not only Blake but all the Lycans in the palace were surprised.
Declaration of war by the Barathen camp.
This is because it was something that had never been done since the great tribal war a long time ago.
And on the other hand, I also snorted.
Troop size, number of awakened warriors, individual strength.
The Barathen camp, being defeated in every way, declared an all-out war?
I couldn’t help but think, ‘These guys are tired of the war and are coming to the cliff of their own accord.’
“hahahahaha! When you live long, really interesting things happen. Okay, where are the trends of those bastards… “
“Tall! “They came!!”
Just as we were about to announce the beginning of war.
Another lycan who runs to the palace without hesitation and makes a report.
Blake frowned at that.
“Them?”
“It’s been a while, Blake.”
Appeared at the same time…
Three ‘humans’.
At that sight, all the Lycans inside looked at them with even more astonishment than before.
Dave, the man in the robe.
A man who gave ‘strengthening skills’ to the Lycans of the Kalak tribe and led Kalak to victory in the Great Tribal War.
The deputy head of the …
Because I was standing among humans.
Dave spoke leisurely, still wearing his robe, his expression unreadable.
“Is this the first time since you crossed the dimension?”
The second great war between Barathen and Kalak.
The beginning was gradually heading towards an unknown situation.
* * *
Awww-!!
Kang-! Kaga River-!
Pushy-!!
From Noble mtl dot com
The cries of the enemy Jurgens rang out, and various types of attacks attacked them without mercy.
The city of Ulpenser is the headquarters of the Khalak camp.
There were quite a few reconnaissance units wandering around that area.
There were no awakened warriors like ‘Lark’ who was lucky enough to be hunted earlier, but there were still quite a few Jurgen troops with Lycans as commanders.
And now, information such as ‘Bharaten has declared all-out war!’ Has not been conveyed to the enemy leadership.
The enemy’s reconnaissance units, unaware that the entire army was attacking, were helplessly wiped out by our attack.
[Flexible, sophisticated movements and maximized physical attacks! The strengthening techniques engraved on your body are gradually becoming more powerful. Your understanding of runes will greatly increase.]
[The level of the ‘Warriors’ Enhancement Art’ rune has increased.]
[Acquire strength by 2 due to the rune’s disposition.]
[The level of the ‘Boiling Wolf Power’ rune has increased.]
[Acquire 1 each of strength and durability based on the rune’s disposition.]
The war was tiring and difficult, but its results were certain.
Jurgens, a class A monster, and Lycan, a class A monster with top skills.
As I hunted high-ranking monsters, the growth of runes naturally followed.
‘Now my strength is 100.’
In this war, I mainly used runes related to ‘physical attack’ or ‘body strengthening’.
Even though I didn’t have to deal with magic, I had solid help from the engineering team members, and the newly acquired runes were mainly runes specialized for physical attacks.
Thanks to this, my mastery of related runes steadily increased, and my strength reached 100.
Now, if your mana reaches 100, your main abilities (strength, speed, mana) will all exceed 100.
It was an internal growth that provided definite motivation in fighting the war.
“Big… !!”
This is when the information window appears for a moment.
It came to my attention that one of the engineering team members was caught by Jürgen and was in a critical situation.
It was Do Seung-min, an assassin-type engineer.
I ran to him without delay, leaped, and hit my opponent, Jurgen, on the head.
‘Primal Onslaught.’
The newly acquired derivative skill [Primal Onslaught] Is a powerful physical attack skill.
A skill that shows destructive power by pouring all its might into it.
When using fighting skills, the power increases, so when using this skill, I always holstered the weapon with the weapon replacement technique and used my fists.
Qua, quagga-!!
Aww?!
Quaaang-!!
Thanks to this, the performance is beyond imagination.
Jürgen, who was pushing Do Seung-min, exploded his head with one punch and died instantly.
“… “Brother, are you One Punch Man?”
“Stop talking nonsense and focus on the battle. It’s not over yet. I’ve said this time and time again, but the Assassins should never be caught out. In particular, you have low durability and no special defense runes, so you have to rely on evasion to win. Got it?”
“Yes!”
Speaks rapidly and provides short training.
During this war, I especially cared for Do Seung-min and was in charge of his education.
Except for that day, Do Seung-min was the only assassin in our B team, and also because there was a lot of room for him to be active in the war due to the [Silver Moon Shadow] Rune.
Sometimes it is sloppy and has many shortcomings, but since he has been a holder since he was very young, his absorption of the educational content was better than expected.
With just a little bit of refinement, Do Seung-min could rise to the level of A-level holder.
“Jaehyun. The battle is over. “There were no casualties in Team C.”
After some time has passed and all the nearby Jurgens have been hunted.
C team leader Lim Hyun came to me and said.
During the war, we fought so many battles and talked to each other a lot, so our names and ways of speaking became more comfortable.
“Yes. “Thank you for your hard work, senior.”
“Is this the end of today’s battle?”
“Maybe.”
You can somehow move forward, but since the night is so deep, your stamina will only get worse.
Now Enrichten will also order the entire unit to rest.
Furthermore, news of an all-out war will reach the Kalak camp tomorrow, and the war will become more intense.
To prepare for that, I had to take at least a little rest.
“Let’s go, engineering captain. Engineering team members are waiting.”
“Yes.”
Hearing Lim Hyeon’s words, Do Seung-min and I roughly cleared out the surroundings and followed him.
The surroundings became dark and Jürgen’s broken body appeared.
Above the sky…
For some reason, there was a full moon.
