190 Episodes – The True Legion (5)
“Uh-huh! There must be a limit to the strange craftsmanship, shouldn’t we just destroy it all at once!”
‘…’
Although it is impossible to improvise or react immediately like the legionaries Eve deals with, the ability to execute operations simultaneously is sufficient.
Richard, who wanted more data and experimental results, showed a strong reaction by checking the battlefield in real time.
While the death worm broke through the middle of the enemy camp and disrupted the ranks, the gang-yeon, which they couldn’t stop, fell with tremendous energy amongst the skeletal soldiers.
A powerful blow that shatters the ground and explodes a shock wave that is more than a death worm.
With these blows, starting with the deathworm, the Legionnaires collided with the Skeletons, less vulnerable to long-range artillery fire.
[Huh… yes. It should be like this!]
Asrald laughed and swung his staff. A beam of destructive power that pierced the body of the Deathworm eventually cut the body in half.
At the same time, tens of thousands of skeleton wizards among the skeleton soldiers bombarded the magic at once. Blue fireballs pouring down like hail on the legionaries rushing across the sky. The short range is a problem, but the firepower is sufficient.
But this time the legionnaires were also receiving adequate support.
The higher-ranking species, which were placed at regular intervals on the ground and the sky, stopped at the same time, and all at once resonated their barriers to the maximum with time and motion without the slightest error.
‘Multiple bond magic, superimposed resonance, forward shield’
Yoona Oh, who raised all the output from the center, became the core of this truth, and already cast the corps-style resonance magic that Raina had completed a long time ago.
Although it could not block all the bombardments, more than half of the bombardments were blocked by several dark red shields in the sky and could not reach the ground.
[I even use magic. no matter what you think I cannot think of you as a mere pack of beasts. why don’t you say You must have enough intelligence!]
Seeing the scene, Asrald burst into laughter. Because he was an opponent that even his common sense as a demon couldn’t understand.
And, it was hard to believe that someone with the intelligence to be able to communicate would only repeat the slaughter of the question-and-answer dance.
‘What are you talking about? Skeleton gourd.’
Kang Do-yeon ignored his words and ran towards him. First of all, she couldn’t understand it at all, but she had no option to talk to the demons from the beginning. In the first place, it was the same with Shinwoo who banned his legionaries from communicating with their opponents.
[Okay, yes. Let’s try it somewhere]
Asrald decided that he couldn’t push Kang Ji-yeon by himself, so he quickly summoned Skeleton Knights who dealt with swordsmanship to stop her.
No matter how much robbery, dozens of robbers were sticking together like chewing gum at once.
‘That crystal ball, again this time.’
In the midst of that fierce battlefield, Kang Do-yeon looked through the mask and stared at the crystal ball in Asrald’s hand.
[Are you aiming for this, which is also a mysterious treasure in this world? Don’t be vigilant this time. The poles and poles eventually work together. This mysterious crystal ball, like you, also has the ability to resonate and maximize the power of the group]
Noticing her gaze, he grinned.
The fact that the legionaries who succeeded in attacking from all directions with a successful surprise attack could not trample on their enemies at once was because the crystal ball resonated with the magical powers of the Skeleton Soldiers and was incredibly strengthening.
[And, we’re not all about this]
Asrald hit the ground once more. His magical energy that spreads once again aroused the corpses lined up on the battlefield into his loyal subordinates.
“Ah, it’s coming out like that.”
Richard, who was watching all this from the nest, snorted. The legionaries who had fallen in the fierce resistance of the skeleton soldiers staggered and got up.
Obviously, it was a powerful move that would change the situation on this battlefield where large corps faced each other at once.
‘Is there any way to respond?’
“We succeeded in understanding the principle. Magic is ultimately a process, like a ‘command’ that makes the body move forcibly by permeating it. They all perished due to the force that forcibly permeated them.”
Richard quickly analyzed the situation on the battlefield. Once the corpses of allies enter the enemy’s army, it’s hard to beat them with numbers.
“The remaining method is to reverse the magic process called ‘necromantic magic’ to figure out the structure and release it, but it’s virtually impossible. Because I don’t know the various spells that make up the process, that is, the code.”
‘At the end of the day, you have to press it with force?’
“It was also reported in the report, but in the end it was just one of the 129 obvious cases that we assumed. So we can respond.”
Richard manipulated the nest that did not stop production, and modified the command of the new follow-up unit.
“That magical power isn’t infinite, but how long can you keep it while fighting the commander? According to my calculations, we can last about 34 hours and 46 minutes from now.”
Ultimately it boils down to exhaustion. But it was also natural.
The strength of the corps has always been attrition warfare, and what Richard pursued while overhauling the corps operating system that Eve had developed according to him was to increase the strength of these attrition wars, which were specialized for this planet called the Demon Realm.
‘One number hidden, what is it?’
Asrald, who is currently in sight, was raising his momentum as his army began to advance little by little.
*
[There are so many jingles!]
Asrald, who was busy constantly checking the robbery, was terrified at the sight of the legionaries coming from all directions.
According to Richard’s prediction, the number of undead that could be manipulated was also limited, so it was impossible to increase the number forever.
[how…]
He looked around blankly. He was one of the top demons in the demon world, and even in his eyes, his undead corps had never experienced such a ‘difficult’ fight.
His legion was always the incarnation of death and the object of fear itself, and the humans who faced him were greatly afraid and all they had to do was resist the divine power.
However, now it was the other way around.
A large, medium-sized spider, larger than a beetle, belonging to the 1st Squadron of the corps that took on the role of an assault trooper, swung its fangs and four legs in front of it with its whole body in hard armor, smashing the skeleton soldiers in charge of the vanguard.
Behind him, a large-class crawler of the 1st squad, the size of a dump, pressed down the skeleton knight who was active in the vanguard with his weight. It was a perfect assault trooper with a unique strong upper body, quadrupedal gait, and a tail by remodeling the demon terrestrial dog-based corps that had been used as a mining-type corps soldier.
Currently, they raise the corpses of the same Legionnaires and use them as shields to block them, but in the end, to completely block those assaults, long-range fire support is needed.
However, it was too difficult for the archers and wizards to stop the tens of thousands of flying bells now filling the sky.
[…]
The poison sting from the sky’s Stingray’s tail hit Asrald’s face.
‘Is it a living thing? Their corpses cannot absorb the vitality left behind by the soul. As if the soul did not exist. Is that possible? They must be alive with a beating heart and flowing blood!’
In the distance, I could see the appearance of huge beasts with formations.
Another super-large species designed by the 1st Squad Sweeper, Richard, that can maintain its body only by replacing the heart with a power engine.
If the existing mega-species had the shape of a large cow, the sweeper was a giant scorpion. Instead of tongs, the huge carapace blades on both hands are swung left and right as if cleaning, cutting and cutting anything on the ground.
Soon, sweepers who had bypassed the flanks began to charge in unison.
[If you hold on, you will win. I, I can’t get tired of living bastards]
Asrald grabbed the crystal ball. In the end, the method he thought of was also to endure, that is, to fight attrition. He was still there to win.
I don’t know that the corps I’m dealing with right now is extracting energy from a land larger than the Korean Peninsula and pouring out countless troops endlessly.
“We can do better to persevere.”
But around that time, a new army prepared by Richard appeared in the air.
“The 4th Floating Supply Element Supply, prepared for field supply and stabilization.”
This gigantic airship the size of an airship with a floating organ inside its body resembles a giant jellyfish. The jellyfish, with hundreds of tentacles hanging beneath its carapace-wrapped body, lowered its altitude and used its enlarged digestive system to devour the corpse on the ground, supplying the nutrients and energy it generated to the local legionnaires.
The more you f**k around,
