136 Tue – Tip of the Iceberg (4)
“They’s ships all over the area are starting to move. Decisions are quick. One of the best human commanders I’ve ever seen.”
Standing there in the Redrium, where the desolate nest spreads, Eve observed the fleet of humans attempting to move as a whole through the eyes of the legionnaires now spread elsewhere.
“I think he’s a worthy opponent for our historic first fleet battle. Although we’re running out of time, we’re running out of numbers, so we’re rushing in.”
[…it just seems like the level of the guys I’ve met so far was low]
“For now, shall we give them a sense of urgency and hope at the same time?”
Eve, ignoring the voice in her head, gave instructions to Kang Do-yeon, who was over there.
In fact, the ‘ships’ of the corps to be mobilized for this battle are not here.
The newly born ship-type soldiers were crossing the gate as soon as they were created.
The ship-type corps soldiers waiting like that will get up at once as soon as the planned composition is drawn.
“Come on, let’s go now.”
Eve smiled and held out her hand.
It was the hand of a large monster with a black carapace like a gauntlet, just like Eve.
It was a little different from Kang Do-yeon, Eve, and Raina. For the sake of Shin-Woo’s ego, the body was purposely designed as a monster different from humans, and his body reached 3 meters tall.
Soon after, the gate opened.
After passing through that gate, the two arrived in the cold, dark sea. At the same time, the ground they were treading on began to move.
It wasn’t exactly land. Red light began to flash from all directions.
[This is recorded in our history. Another leap forward. Small cells that started in the puddles of the underground cave eventually evolved into beings that transcend the world]
It made a hum like the sound of an engine and quickly headed to the surface of the water, looking at the overall shape, it was similar to the ship of the Federation.
But it was clearly a living creature wriggling here and there, and Eve was part of the legionary in motion.
Hundreds of these giant beasts soared all at once and finally broke through the vast ocean and began to soar into the sky.

“Commander. All fleets have gathered.”
“You don’t know when the small aircraft will appear and penetrate the ship. Change it to be able to fire in all directions, be vigilant in all directions, and annihilate them.”
What’s going on in the ocean on the other side of the world. Those who have gathered their power now do not know.
Liam led a fleet of dozens of ships in pursuit of a horde of monsters driving the land to hell.
With the firepower of the fleet now assembled, it could blow up a whole continent, but they gathered together simply to avoid breaking each other.
‘Is it possible to catch it? In fact, if they’re really intelligent, you can just run away now. We want to own this land, not destroy it.’
Unlike the others, who began to feel relieved when the fleet succeeded in gathering all of them, Liam’s mind was complicated.
And one of the causes was a reaction of nature that repeats only the usual message that you know, no matter how alert you are.
It didn’t even make sense for the Führer to stand still, saying he was right when he heard that he had lost his ship to an unknown alien bug.
“Don’t worry too much. Didn’t all the fleets get together without any further losses in the middle?”
“…it’s not that simple, Amy.”
He shook his head, grinning at the words of the aide who gently grabbed his hand.
“The movements we’ve shown you so far. We acted as if we knew all our intentions and movements and acted cunningly.
Liam muttered blankly as he looked at the busy and noisy subordinates.
The brain turned tight. Based on the experience and knowledge he had accumulated so far, he was already entering the realm of imagination.
‘Guys, who the hell are they?’
According to the regulations, it was first classified as one of the extraterrestrial monster species. However, he could not agree with the classification of his accompanying scholars.
‘They are mere creatures, not beasts. These are people who can drop ships, use magic, think, and move in groups. Why did they move now? If they really simply ran away from us, why did some of them stay here and continue to engage in local warfare with us? What is their purpose?’
“Sa, Commander?!”
When the imagination is gradually moving toward the ominous realm.
An urgent report came in from the forward area. Liam took a deep breath and immediately opened the screen.
“Black Wings.”
Liam bit his lip. The first thing you see on the screen is black feathered wings with a blue sky in the background.
And the top species of a total of twenty individuals arranged side by side with her as the center.
On the ground, the legionnaires who had been flocking to the continent had been gathering. As if to wage an all-out war here,
“Why the hell? Why are you fighting this great fleet head-on?!”
Liam, unable to understand their actions, took off his hat and scratched his head violently, looking at the light in the mask on the screen.
Because he was not vigilant, he highly valued the potential of his opponent, so it was even more difficult to understand this situation.
“Commander! Go ahead, order the bombardment!”
Of course, it had been a long time since the captains in the front had their eyes turned.
For them, those black bugs were the main cause of damage to the pride of the Space Fleet.
And above all, I didn’t think deeply like Liam. From an objective point of view, the difference in firepower is overwhelming.
“Issue an artillery order.”
“shelling!”
In the end, Liam decided to try moving first.
‘come.’
The gun barrel shone brightly, and a powerful beam of light was emitted with a burst of flash.
Kang Do-yeon and the superior species immediately increased the output of the barrier and spread it out.
There was only one reason why all the troops, including the ground forces, who were not of any help, gathered here openly.
It was just to draw out the enemy fleet. Although the careful movement of the opponent, who is not conceited and maintains a defensive formation, was unexpected, he managed to lure him here anyway.
‘Now the melee.’
Kang Do-yeon, who barely passed the rays, thought to herself, and maneuvered the sky in a zig-zag manner, and quickly approached the fleet.
In the first place, every single one of these actions was part of Eve’s planned ‘corps-style’ fleet war.
‘You’re also launching the planes. Keep moving. We have a number of our own strengths, but there is no reason to give them the standard fleet battles they are accustomed to.’
Eve, who was watching the situation, gasped.
They have already mastered the basic strategic tactics they take.
However, just like when producing a ship-type Legionnaire, Eve must harmoniously blend the strengths of the Legion into its technology.
Kang Do-yeon, with its wings outstretched, rushed at her and split the unmanned aircraft that fire machine guns and small high-fidelity missiles in half.
“Caught. Shoot!”
But it’s the bait. The moment she stopped evasive maneuvers, some of the ship’s beam guns, which had been aiming without firing, were poured at her.
‘Are you doing something?’
Eve’s astonishingly agile response. Kang Do-yeon reinforced the crackling barrier and moved once more to attack the ship.
The same was true for the other top species. Liam’s tactics of using unmanned aircraft to the fullest, as well as strength training, the barriers of the upper class began to be gradually cut.
If this is the case, then it is a war of consumption. If you use all your energy to block, you can’t stand the bombardment.
‘Change your strategy. Drop one first.’
From that point on, the movements of Kang Do-yeon and the superior servants changed.
The moment when they got close to each other in the evasive maneuver and made a moment’s break. Kang Do-yeon succeeded in breaking the barrier of one of the frigates and crushing the outer wall to penetrate the interior.
“Sa, Commander…!”
“Fire. I can’t help it. Take this opportunity to drop those black wings!”
Liam closed his eyes and made a bold decision. Let’s sacrifice one escort ship and wipe out the gathered enemies.
Soon after, the shells from the flagship completely covered the frigate.
There was a huge explosion, and the impact was enough to crack the barriers of nearby ships.
‘The price of life, it is accepted as the price of life.’
“Never let me go alive. I’ll finish here before I come back stronger!”
While the wreckage of the shattered ship and the crushed corpses of the superior servants fell.
The only thing left in the air was Kang Do-yeon, wearing a cracked barrier.
At Liam’s command, the bombardment started once again.
What is certain is that if you receive this blow, the barrier will be broken, and Kang Do-yeon will die.
“…what is that?”
However, the black wings did not fall from the subsequent shelling. Liam’s eyes widened, and when he saw the blonde hair fluttering in the sky, he lost his words for a moment.
“Foolishly, they seem to think you’re our everything. You and I are only a small part of the Legion.”
Reina, who smiled bitterly, blocked the front of Kang Do-yeon and raised the staff in her hand.
“Commander! The anti-ship radar is working!”
“Why is the anti-ship radar…”
Liam, who had been staring blankly at Raina, who appeared only in the testimony of locals, turned his head to Amy’s scream.
The anti-ship radar is literally a wide-range radar to determine the position of the opposing fleet. Common sense was that it made no sense to ring now.
However, the moment Reina dispelled the camouflage magic, the number of enemy ‘ships’ detected by the radar began to increase exponentially in an instant.
“Clash, be prepared for a crash!”
And the moment he saw the huge thing going straight to the command ship with the naked eye, Liam shouted with his voice and hugged Amy who was next to him and flew away.
