119 Tue-Everyone Has a Side (7)
“It doesn’t work… it doesn’t work…!”
Commander Robinson, who was looking at the screen, sank. Obviously, they responded in a way that was consistent with the manual.
Obviously, the basic principle of ground defense against non-human monsters was that the fleet was bombarding the enemies, and on the ground, the battle was centered around the armored forces.
The problem is that the enemies they are facing now show different tactics and moves than any other enemies they have faced.
And the move blatantly disregarded their manuals and quite simply neutralized them.
In front of the tank that was firing high-speed, high-fidelity cannonballs, the high-ranking paper pierced the fire net folded its wings and landed with a spear.
It was completely different from the hordes of monsters that openly swarm towards the fire network without knowing anything.
These black enemies move quickly and cleverly, breaking through the defenses at once, and forcing them to engage in one-on-one melee combat, which they could not have imagined in close combat.
“Blow it up!”
Once in anticipation of the enemy’s proximity, the pre-installed bomb exploded with blue flames.
However, before the smoke could even go away, dark red energy exploded from the spear of the high-ranking servant who had withstood the shock with the defense power of the barrier and armor, and the tank that was holding its place was pierced by the power and exploded.
“Hey, this…”
The faces of the soldiers who were resisting with rifles hardened. No matter how experienced or not, I felt death now.
There was no way to stop them by the way they had been fighting until now with the movement that could not be followed by ordinary human senses.
“Here you are, monster!”
The moment when the defense line guarded by hundreds of individuals is about to collapse.
Someone ran and screamed.
The sword swung at the same time cut the spear it was aimed at.
‘Article.’
Eve, who was looking at the scene with the eyes of a higher-ranking servant, recognized its identity.
The person wearing the reinforced metal exoskeleton was not a member of the rebel coalition.
This man, wielding a great sword with skillful skill, was definitely a local knight.
“Certainly full of power!”
The knight, who seemed very excited, made full use of the power of the reinforced exoskeleton.
Borrowing the power of the machine, at least in terms of simple power, it was not pushed to the higher ranks. In addition, unlike the soldiers of the Union, this experience was abundant.
Intoxicated with power, he clenched his teeth and swung his sword like a windmill.
‘After all, the enemies also evolve.’
Eve saw the sight and admired it slightly.
In the end, while the knight who was pierced by the spear vomited blood and avoided the last sword wielded, a large-caliber bullet that flew in finally broke the barrier of the upper class that had reached its limit.
From Eve’s point of view, he looked forward to it even though he was wary.
He had already paid the price for his arrogance because his adversary was already too weak. But if your opponent is stronger than you, you can learn it soon.
And it was Eve’s specialty to learn, imitate, and then transform it into her own.
‘Anyway, for now, we have to achieve our goal first. It’s not good to have too many distractions.’
And Kang Do-yeon, who became impatient with Eve’s admiration, intervened.
She sent high-ranking servants to create chaos in all directions, and I came to the center, where I had the best defense.
“Shoot it!”
The problem is that they are also well prepared.
She crossed her wings against the fired light cannons to block them.
“The arrogant monster. Where did you come from here?”
Target, Local General Commander Lt. Col. Robinson. With a megaphone-like object to his mouth, he shouted at her standing alone.
‘Three mounted light cannons, six tanks, eight machine guns, three local knights equipped with exoskeletons, plus these five who are presumed to be wizards, and hundreds of infantry.’
‘One minute left. Beyond that time, support will come from other regions.’
Kang Do-yeon and Eve finished their calculations in an instant.
The fortunate thing is that the fleet that aimed the gun barrels in space was unable to bombard the allies, lest they misfire.
‘that’s enough.’
She made a decision and moved forward at once.
Naturally, a tremendous amount of firepower to stop the rush was poured down, ignoring the destruction and exploding of the surrounding city.
“Ugh, ahhh! Stop it!”
As she soared into the sky and at the same time drew closer towards it, the terrified humans frantically pulled the trigger.
After borrowing even the Hive consciousness and maximizing the power of her entire body, her evasive maneuvers, which spread back and forth between the air and the ground, caused a significant portion of her firepower to split the air meaninglessly.
“ah…”
The first victim was a single infantryman shooting from behind a covered structure.
That person was hit by a barrier just by passing by her without dealing with her, and could not withstand the shock and exploded.
‘Hmm, nine seconds?’
Eve checked, it took 9 seconds for Kang Do-yeon to break through the enormous firepower check and run hundreds of meters.
“Stop it!”
The exoskeleton knights who received the Stars Society’s reinforcement magic through the Jinbeop attacked her, who suppressed her embarrassment and passed the final line of defense at once.
The swung sword was swung at her neck, chest, and one leg at the same time.
Just before the blade reached her neck.
The knight wielding the sword opened his eyes the moment his sword was blocked by the black wings.
“Caught…”
The moment someone shouts that they have caught it.
His gaze suddenly flew into the sky.
The last thing he saw in the eyes of the knight, who had his head separated from his body, sprinkled with blood, was swept away by the slash from his swinging wings and collapsed in the ranks with his comrades.
“It’s like such a crazy monster ticket…”
Hundreds of troops stood firm. And its strong firepower.
In less than 30 seconds, more than half were destroyed and died. It was even more shocking because there was no response.
Even though I had thoroughly prepared for it, it was shattered like this.
Robinson trampled the half-destroyed chariot and sat down when he saw her sitting in front of him.
All the concepts and common sense brought as a soldier were denied. He witnessed for the first time the power of an individual that transcends laws.
“Cuckoo!”
Kang Do-yeon grabbed his collar and at the same time soared into the sky before Ji-won, who was running from afar, arrived.
Other top-ranking species also left at the same time. In a city with an estimated population of tens of thousands, attacked by only seven individuals, they faced the worst outcome: more than half of their garrisoned units were killed or destroyed and their commanders hijacked.
‘They will definitely come up with a plan.’
‘Then that’s good. Strange, we try to be like them and they try to be like us.’
In response to Kang Do-yeon’s words, Eve grinned.
From Eve’s point of view, it would be rather appreciated if they misunderstood the corps’ strategy as this and prepared thoroughly for it.
However, the real war Eve was planning was likely to be a large-scale warfare they were familiar with.

“…”
“No face, Commander.”
“It’s not your fault. Who would have expected it to be like this.”
Liam, who was watching the transmitted video, sighed and shook his head. The atmosphere in the leadership team was the worst.
Just like those who fought in the field right away, the command team was so shocked that they forgot their words.
“Where?”
The biggest problem was the nests of the enemies who disappeared like a scavenger hunt.
Now, ships in space are spreading out and scanning the entire planet, but they haven’t detected any movement since they missed one.
Because scanning wasn’t perfect. I couldn’t see the places that were covered by topographical features.
“When it appeared and when it disappeared. It disappeared into a place that couldn’t be scanned, as if conscious of the sky.”
“Anyway, I think everyone will believe it. They’re not just space bugs. Maybe a new category will be created in the human dictionary.”
It was the moment when Eve’s intention to contain it worked properly.
They were greatly shocked and could no longer expand their territory as comfortably as before.
It was necessary to prepare a defensive posture and find a way to respond quickly.
“But…the giant beasts that the locals called dragons must also be hunted…”
“It is urgent to find a way to counteract the force of those monsters observed today. Let’s all focus on that. Don’t choose any means. The easiest thing to do is to sniper with guns, but looking at it, we can’t just deal with it.”
Liam gave instructions carefully and meticulously, as was his personality. It was the best choice given the current information and circumstances.
“And… should I first contact His Excellency in the nature of the local situation? There’s nothing wrong with getting support. Now we must never be vigilant.”
“But then…!”
When he gave the last order, smiling bitterly, everyone’s faces hardened in surprise.
Liam had no idea, but all of his men knew that his position was precarious because he was being checked by the suspicious dictator Führer.
It has been holding up so far, but to inform the situation and ask for support means that the mission has failed, and if that happens, it means that the Führer will be given a justification.
Except for Liam, all of his men on the field did not want to lose their capable superiors.
“Farchen, tell the commander that you have just reported as instructed.”
“Hey, captains…”
The meeting was broken and the captains of the ship came to the female aide who was instructed by Liam in a group.
Aiden was at the forefront.
“Though these unidentified monsters are unique, they can’t defeat the Space Fleet. You can blow them all away. But not the Führer. We can’t go against him, and this is the only way to protect the Commander.”
“You don’t want the Commander to leave either. We know that. The relationship between the two.”
Her face reddened when the captains even brought out personal stories.
Of course, she had the same thoughts as them.
“…All right.”
Eventually she nodded.
And that evening, a false report came to Liam that the report had been fully reported to the upper management.
