131 – really helpless years
The Hunters, who are barely maintaining their defensive formations, and the Abyss, who continue to attack fiercely to break through.
If you look at it simply, it may seem that the hunters and soldiers with superior firepower are pouring an offensive unilaterally, but this was only so on the surface.
If the Abyss, who can have an overwhelming advantage in close range, stick together, you don’t know how the battle will flow, and because of this, the hunters were pouring attacks to prevent that situation anyway.
“Kyaaagh!!!”
“Keew!”
“Support fire at 9 o’clock! Don’t let them get close!”
“Ah.. I see!”
While maintaining a certain level of firepower on each front at all times, supporting fire is immediately applied to points where there is a hint of penetration.
It was an operation method that could be considered simple at first glance, but unexpectedly, a high level of technology was required to carry it out smoothly.
Unlike in computer games, there were many restrictions in many ways to continue fighting in real life.
In the game, there were a lot of people who provided convenience to the player in many ways, even excluding the ridiculously infinite magazine.
There was no need to go far, even with the guns the hunters were holding in their hands right away, the accuracy and destructive power were extremely low as the barrels became savored when fired continuously for more than 30 minutes.
The same goes for self-propelled artillery weapons that fire continuously.
In order to prevent this, it was necessary to cool down to some extent, the so-called ‘cool time’, so in order to continue the offensive to prevent the Abyss from coming up, it was necessary to carefully control the cool time so that there were no gaps.
That time when I was going out to maintain such a close defense line.
-Kwaguawang!-
With a loud explosion, the offensive of the detached unit finally began as planned.
A side attack led by 200 hunters.
The person who was actually in charge of the unit was the guild master of the 15th guild, but the person standing at the head was someone other than her.
An S-class hunter with the alias of a rose
Isena.
As she wielded the rose cutter mercilessly, she began mercilessly slicing through the Abyss in front of her eyes.
“die! Insignificant bug guys! I am Isena Hunter!”
While shouting, Isena advances without hesitation.
As I said in advance, the Abyss seemed to be deeply confused by their sudden flanking attack as they were concentrating only on frontal attacks at this moment.
Abyss who run away whenever they swing their swords.
Even in the midst of this, there were some guys who tried to resist, but their attacks were lightly blocked by her wielding a rose cutter.
Isena cut off the hand that was reaching out to attack and cut off their heads.
Their dull movements seemed to read the numbers clearly in Isena’s eyes, and conversely, her own sharp attacks were able to take the lives of those in front of her eyes with certainty.
‘As expected, these guys are just scarecrows in front of me! No matter how many there are, they can’t touch a hair on me!’
Like that, Isena is literally sweeping away the Abyss with the sense of clearing out the miscellaneous mobs in the game.
At that time, an urgent voice suddenly began to be heard in her ears as she was happily sweeping away enemies.
“Isena Hunter! They went too deep into enemy lines! Get out of here for now!”
Omija, the guild master of the 15th guild, who restrains his movement
However, in response to her order, Isena Hunter spoke with a firm voice.
“Are you leaving? You mean retreat now? This is just the beginning! There is still plenty more to fight!”
Many of the allied troops were still alive, and crucially, she herself was just about to get excited.
To suddenly give the order to retreat at a time like this felt like putting down the spoon you had just picked up for a meal.
“A bunch of people turning the tide of battle with just this amount! We can’t go back until we wipe out these filthy bastards and make sure we win!”
Isena shouted with such annoyed emotions.
Regarding this, the guild master Oh Mi-ja spoke to her in a ferocious voice.
“Is it that you will disobey my order now! Make a retreat now! I don’t know what four years will be like, but by the time we’ve come this far, the damage to our troops has already been severe!”
True to the word, although the detached unit succeeded in penetrating deep into the enemy camp thanks to Isena’s opening the way. The damage suffered while forcibly pushing this far was enormous.
Not a few have already been wounded, and crucially, the retreat is already beginning to close because of the rapid push.
But… Isena said this in a determined voice.
“Why are you making such a fuss at such a sacrifice?”
“What… what?”
“We just broke through 1/3 of the enemy lines. If we keep pushing forward like this, we can pierce through the formation of Aie, so why bother?”
“I can’t! What will happen to our allies in the process!”
Rеаd at ոоbӏеmtӏ.соm
Just as Isena had said, if they continued to push forward with the same momentum as they were now, it would be possible to pierce through enemy lines.
However, in the process, the members of the detached unit here will surely suffer enormous damage.
I was already physically exhausted just by breaking through this far, and the injury was also a level that could never be ignored.
In the worst case, a decision that really only one person, Isena, might survive.
But… Ise and Hunter didn’t care about that fact at all.
The most important thing for her is to make a big contribution in this battle.
Because of that, it didn’t matter whether a few dozen or tens of thousands of allies died.
“Does the damage matter that much? The most important thing for a soldier is victory! For victory, to give one’s life for one’s country! Isn’t that what we should do?”
“… ”
“If you understand, please follow me. I won’t tell my father about this in particular.”
Isena continued to advance through the Abyss without forgetting to put up a half-threat.
Watching her like this, the guild master Oh Mi-ja stood still in her place holding her weapon for a while, but Isena didn’t care about her reaction anymore.
No matter how much he was a guild master, he was only a company commander in charge of a single hunter guild.
As the father who holds the military power of the Republic of Korea is the one who can be beaten with a single finger, they will have no choice but to follow their words in the end.
While thinking that, Isena did her best to wipe out the Abyss in front of her eyes.
and..
“This… It’s been a really tough year…”
She speaks in a heavy voice with her head down.
right after that…
She took out a small gun she had been carrying in her arms.
and..
-bang!
Schisandra chinensis, which fires it up into the sky.
Immediately after that, a single red cloud began to soar into the sky, and at the same time, the hunters here began to react accordingly.
“Retreat!”
“All troops retreat!”
A sudden order to retreat.
Accordingly, the Hunters who belonged to the detached unit urgently started running toward the retreat that was now almost closed.
and..
“! What.. what.. this.. Hey! What a retreat! What are you talking about!”
Isena, who urgently turned her head to the actions of the guild master Schisandra.
At this moment, a look of deep anger appeared on her face.
How dare you leave the battlefield, chew up your story and order a retreat.
From her point of view, this was completely unacceptable, so she lightly cleared away the abyss surrounding her and tried to approach the guild master to discuss this fact.
“You son of a bitch! I told you I can’t retreat… !”
at that time…
“… uh?”
In the next moment, Isena was taken aback by the sudden and unexpected situation.
It started when Abyss, who had been easily defeated just before, lightly avoided his attacks.
