188 Tue – The True Legion (3)
‘The fighting power of each is not that high compared to the high-ranking demons. You have to save it before it’s too late.’
Grant manifested his powers. His skill is speed. Being able to move clearly faster than others, he opened the lid of the self-propelled howitzer, which had his jaws wide open, quickly cut the beetles that rushed at him, and stopped firing.
“Come on out.”
Grant grabbed the limbs of those who were paralyzed inside and dragged them out.
‘this.’
But when I rescued them like that. He was heartbroken. With a thump, the Beetle, which had landed on the self-propelled gun, caught behind him.
“hahahaha… Huh?”
He clenched his teeth and swung his sword, ready to give up one arm, and his eyes widened in surprise. The Beetle seized the opportunity and, instead of attacking him, exposed its chin to the self-propelled gun and began to chew the metal like a piece of paper.
“what?”
He was a little embarrassed as he glanced at the wounded people and carried them on his shoulders.
As the earth dragon crawled on the floor stretched his neck and beamed a beam towards the ammunition storage, an explosion occurred and the whole area shook.
The Legionnaires, who had already occupied part of the garrison, attacked those who resisted with their guns or abilities, while also thoroughly destroying equipment that was not burned by humans.
In the process, there were frequent acts of ignoring those who ran away as if they were not a priority.
‘Equipment destruction takes precedence over slaughter? Or rather, these children are moving with a clear goal?!’
Grant, horrified at the moment, hurriedly moved the wounded to the rear.
Those who have already noticed to a certain extent have discovered the discomfort and figured out the cause.
In the first place, the legionnaires who moved collectively and tactically could not hide their blatant movements, nor did those who commanded the legionaries dare to hide it.
“They are definitely a kind of army run by the monsters.”
Grant muttered in a trembling voice. Of course, due to lack of information, they cannot make an accurate judgment and are in a state of great misunderstanding, but they pointed out a certain degree of pulse.
“They are more focused on destroying equipment and garrison than killing people. Try to save lives!”
Allowing unexpected raids and fatal weaknesses, the Command just before the fall finally made the final decision. The garrison was literally being swept away in an endless stream of monsters.
Exploding tanks and missile silos were engulfed in flames, and the barracks collapsed and trampled on them.
“Here! Support here!”
The Allied Forces, which had managed to reorganize, carried out rescue operations while the Legionnaires concentrated on destroying equipment and facilities.
Legionnaires prioritized destruction of immediately visible equipment over killing lives, unless they prevent their own destruction or violently block their way.
“But only then, we won’t be able to station here any longer.”
“…what the hell are these guys. If they show up on other fronts, we will!”
The commander, who had lost his fortified garrison in less than half a day at Grant’s words, shook his head with a grim look.
It was because they firmly mistook the legionaries for the army run by the demons.
‘But if you think about it, there’s no way the demons could focus on destroying equipment this far. Due to their nature, they would rather have ordered slaughter. This is too inefficient. As if deliberately minimizing slaughter.’
Eventually, as he quickly retreated through the gate, Grant bit his lip as he looked at the garrison where flames were rising here and there.
Come to think of it again, there were a lot of awkward parts for these unidentified monsters to be monsters run by demons.
“Even if they’re not demons, they’re definitely our enemies. Now, if we’re pushed out of here, where’s the best place to benefit? They’re not goblins. Now, the goblins will continue to loot without any hesitation.”
“Maybe… I don’t know. The monsters of this question-and-answer dance will attack even the goblins.”
Grant muttered blankly at the words of his anger-filled colleague. He didn’t know anything yet, but his intuition was the only thing he had.
In the end, the Allied Forces, who sacrificed the garrison they had worked hard to make into a fortress, managed to escape to Earth and succeeded in closing the gate after that.
Nevertheless, the destructive acts of the legionnaires continued even after that.
Finally, a beetle that smashed the last remaining transport truck reached the place where the gate once stood with its jaws clenched.
The sun had already set completely, and the garrison had become a complete ruin with nothing left.
“But this was only an experimental battle. Our true strength is not that much. Although the enemies have little information about us, we have not been able to respond perfectly.”
‘But the experiment is successful.’
“Yes. This proves it again.”
Even late at night, the legionnaires began to retreat from the ruins of the garrison that burned with fire. According to Richard’s plan, the army mobilized this time was not even a full force. More specialized disease types, more numbers. And then there’s the combination of the top species.
It was possible to block the bombardment with barriers or magic of the upper class, and to engage in an unimaginable melee by mobilizing a quick mobile battle using gates and more diverse types of soldiers.
‘Go according to plan. Now this area is our land. Build a nest, and expand the territory by producing troops.’
The corps, which had successfully driven out an entire headquarters of the Earth Federation Forces, moved nonstop. Having proven enough, there was no more hesitation.
The expansion of the nest, which devours even the barren wasteland, as well as the speed of mass production of the troops increased.
“Look at this.”
It was then that Oh Yoon-ah, who had gone out on her usual reconnaissance with some legionnaires, came with one piece of news.
“…this skeleton is definitely.”
‘You’re doing something really bad.’
What caught the eyes of the scouts floating in the air observing the scene was another garrison of the Earth Allied Forces in an area northwest of the Legion’s nest.
It was also an area occupied by the Allied Forces for forward strike as a kind of stronghold base. Now that place was being attacked by a large army.
“It’s strange in a different way. It’s like we have something to replace the Hive consciousness we have.
‘It must be close to some kind of magic.’
Richard looked at the attacking side with interest.
The first thing that stood out the most were the white skeletons or the corpses that had turned into zombies. But those ordinary undead were not all.
[More morale, more troops needed!]
In the middle of the battlefield full of binge drinking, screams and shouts, Asrald spearheaded hundreds of thousands of undead, burning blue eyes fiercely.
The reason he had to appear here with his teeth after being defeated in the southeast battlefield was simple.
He was planning to suck the vitality of the living and fill it with his own magical powers, and supplement his soldiers with their corpses.
Toward him, the fighter-bomber squadrons that sortie went out to defend the stronghold fired dozens of missiles across the sky.
[Iron block will not be able to stop it!]
As he swung his wand in one hand towards the pouring missiles, the missiles that were rushing at the speed that broke the speed of sound all at once forcibly stopped in the air and exploded in the sky.
Even if some of them succeeded in landing, it didn’t matter. It didn’t matter to him that he lost a few troops.
“That guy! Is it that guy?!”
“manager!”
In the midst of this chaos, there were a few people running towards Asrald, who was in the front area, through the waves of Skeleton Soldiers.
These were the hunters who risked their lives to defend this stronghold, including the leader who had the ability to turn his body into shiny metal.
[That’s funny]
Asrald laughed at them. He recognizes that he is a special being and has been running, but he had no intention of going directly against the small dwarves in the first place.
“Aww!”
Instead, it was not the skeleton soldiers that attacked them, nor the corpses of the Allied forces raised here.
The monsters with black carapace, with a solid body and skills designed only for battle, attacked the hunters at his command.
The attacks of large and medium-sized corps soldiers that push with mass and weight are a completely different type of attack from those of the Skeleton Knights.
In the end, the hunters who failed to stand were torn to shreds and fell to the ground, and Asrald rejoiced and grabbed their souls and raised their bodies into his own undead.
[Efforts were made to remove the unusual consciousness that remained on the body, but it was quite useful, isn’t it?]
A huge, super-large bell with half of the hammer head broken, vibrating the ground, came running.
Even the corpses of the legionnaires stolen from the last war were able to be used as his dolls, the undead, and he burst into laughter as he saw the stronghold being pushed down by the waves of the undead and taken down.
‘We need more troops. The result will be different the next time this is attached, Black Fly.’
His eyes gleamed with shivering madness. His mind was filled with a rematch with the legion that had already defeated him.
For that alone, he entered the battlefield where he was maintaining a fierce balance, and for that only he had slaughtered 10,000 units of the Allied Forces.
