Elcloud Punch(6)
Cartea, the only city in the southwest with a gate for ultra-long-distance transmission, was severely shaken.
Originally, it was the size of the Countess, so I couldn’t afford to install it, but…
There was no other city that could serve as a military base, so the case was installed with the royal family’s money.
There were also opinions that it was a waste of money, but I finally got my job done.
The troops gathered one after another while all ordinary citizens temporarily took refuge.
Not only the Capital Defense Forces under Eshas but also other major gates sent reinforcements.
Especially in the West, the distance is so close that the Westwall Marquess seems to come directly.
The soldiers who were summoned by mobilizing all the trains and gates had a very dark expression on their faces.
The atmosphere is much heavier than that of the Demon Eye Dragon.
That said, this opponent achieved the SS rank Jinshin Summon in just three days.
All of them in this position are summoners above a certain level, so they know how absurd it is.
‘It must mean that he possesses summoning skills that are at least two generations ahead of us.’
The Duke of Beltern even supported the train cannon, but can they win without taking too much damage?
This time, the Kingdom Army also participated in the war, but there was no Essha and Fresia.
If I die or get hurt here, my future plans for the rebellion will be severely disrupted.
Furthermore, it is questionable why the Red Dragon Zakhar summoned the Southwest region.
It wasn’t that they were attacking this city from the start, but the border area farthest from the capital.
I would like to believe that the error occurred because I was too hasty in summoning… but if I did, I would have retreated sooner.
“Chief of the Watchtower. Where is the Red Dragon’s current position?”
“We’re constantly moving to the capital. It’s flying at full speed, so it won’t take long.”
The commander of the guard who opens a military map and displays the movement path of the gnome.
It seems that the field crew are diligently tracking them.
While the lord of this place, Count Cartea, was trembling his lips, the Marquess of Westwall in armor entered the hall of the lord.
He greeted with a small nod of his head and looked at the map without delay.
“…Is it the red dragon’s path?”
“That’s right.”
“Very straight forward. You know we’re going to rally, but we’re not even trying to detour.”
The Marquess, who found a small town on the path of Jakar, tapped it with his index finger, clad in metal gloves.
A city that must be overlooked by Jakar, who must stop the summoning of Presia as soon as possible.
A very meaningful resistance is unlikely to be expected, but delaying time there itself is a huge loss.
But, as Marie-Baek said, Jakar was moving straight along the railroad tracks.
Where there are railroads, of course, there are small towns that act as logistics centers…
Is it because of the arrogance that there is no need to avoid it? Or are you afraid of getting lost along the way?
The commander of the watchdog, who was in constant contact with the local crew, sighed bitterly.
“I lost contact with the reconnaissance team. It seems that I was shot down by a red dragon.”
“What’s his last move?”
“There are reports that he seems to have entered the battle without hesitation…”
The loss of the reconnaissance team and the small town is disappointing, but…
this is war
There was no expectation from the beginning that he could win without taking any damage.
However, Byeon-baek, who was more accustomed to war than anyone else in this place, swallowed the saliva with a cautious expression.
The original commander-in-chief of the kingdom’s army was none other than Eshas.
As the watchman is acting as her deputy, this time, he has decided to follow the command of Byeon-baek.
“Still, it will consume electricity in a small town…”
“It’s strange.”
The marginalized Count cut off the words of Count Cartea, who was showing an anxious expression next to him.
Fingers covered in iron armor move along the railroad to this point.
Considering the movement speed of the Balaur, a considerable distance.
In the first place, the southwestern border itself is far from the capital.
“It’s like the fact that the scouts were dealt with only after attacking the city. Rather, it’s a movement that seems to drag the time.”
“Yes? But we still haven’t finished gathering…”
“Is the reconnaissance team dispatched again? Everyone starts preparing for the battle.”
“yes?”
This was a command that was completely incomprehensible.
Of course, it is common sense to fight in a castle in a defensive battle, but…
That’s why Jakar can’t just attack.
From the standpoint of a winged bastard, just bypass it.
Therefore, everyone gathered in this city was preparing for a maneuver defense.
The city and castle were just bases, and if they approached, they were going to sortie and catch up.
Facing my doubts, Byung-baek explained in a firm voice.
“He decided that there was a chance and rushed in. You shouldn’t do what the other side expects.”
“Still, common sense…”
“Is it common sense that the summoning of his true spirit was accomplished in three days? It’s not even a battle that can be resolved with individual bravery. He will fight with technology.”
The commander of the guard, who had wrung out his courage and protested, was immediately silent.
I tried to be silly too, but in the next moment, the demon lord smirked from the inside.
“Louis. Maybe we missed something in the mock fight…”
‘But you’ve tried everything in all sorts of situations.’
After Fresia joined the friendly camp.
The mock battle with the Demon King was centered on the Red Dragon, Jakar.
Although it was a short time, the simulation battle was dense enough.
It’s hard to think now that we’ve missed something.
However, the Demon King sent a positive signal to Westwall’s opinion with a smile on the contrary.
The fact that expectations were wrong is a welcome sign in itself.
I was convinced once she wanted it.
Although Marge Westwall is the interim commander, this agreement process is important because in the end, troops were sent from their respective territories.
“Okay. Let’s switch to the water castle.”
“Even Count El Cloud…”
“Start loading the magic cannon. We wait for him with the gate for ultra-long-distance transmission open. Spread the reconnaissance as wide as possible.”
As the waiting got longer than expected, Persia secretly took out a snack.
As soon as I ate a little bit, a new scouting report came in.
Originally, it would have had more than enough time for Jakar to reach here, but he was destroying every city along the way.
The meticulousness of stopping by every little bit far away is ominous.
“Master. If you go all the way to the east from here, it’s our house…”
“Hey, are you still here to destroy it?”
“Is that so?”
“I can’t do close reconnaissance because I’m afraid of being shot down again… but if I go on like this, I’ll contact you within two hours.”
Haven’t figured out the route yet.
After all, was it correct to switch from mobile defense to water warfare?
Suffering from intense discomfort and nervousness, he was forced to rest, and finally, 20 minutes before contact.
As I move my stiff legs and climb the stone fortress, I can already feel the slight vibration.
“What, I heard it was flying, but why is it vibrating…”
“It’s bad.”
Letty, who transformed into a variety of summoned beasts and sprinkled reinforcement effects, returns to my side with a colorful look.
In order to save even a little of my magic, I retrieved him into a book.
Delayed orders for the Demon King are being prepared early.
As it is not a surprise attack unlike the time of the Demon Eye Dragon, it will be a much tougher fight.
For some reason, the dean, who feels reassured, also arrives at Dolboru.
I was assigned to be my escort on a special assignment from the Westwall Marquess.
“It’s an old dragon who majored in magic… are you looking forward to it?”
“Chief…”
While enjoying the feeling of dryness in the mouth.
The sunlight that lit everything was suddenly dyed red.
An ancient dragon appeared from beyond the horizon with its back to the sun.
The reddish color, as if soaked in blood, was reflected in the sunlight.
It appeared a little earlier than expected, but it was still out of range, so there was no movement.
From n̲o̲b̲l̲e̲m̲t̲l̲.̲c̲o̲m̲
Jakar narrows the distance with his two wings wide open.
Summons specialized in reconnaissance began to roar when they discovered something unusual above his head.
“Kieek!”
“Pueet!”
“What, what? Why are you doing this?”
“…that one?”
When I used a simple spell to raise my eyesight, my breath stopped for a moment.
over the guy’s head.
Isn’t it a magical light with a very familiar color and shape?
What followed was an unexpected force.
A variety of summoned beasts as diverse as ours were filling the horizon.
The line of magical power that stretched out from them had nothing but the top of Jakar’s head as the destination.
Thin but countless lines gathered and covered the stream like a large veil.
“Lee, Link?”
“I’m sure you summoned it yourself!”
“No. There are so many different types. That was stolen from the summoners in the small town earlier!”
We were barely understanding the situation.
The laughter of the Red Dragon struck the castle of Yeongju.
It was the sound of laughter filled with relaxation and joy, as if they had already won.
“Fuhahahaha! You guys were pretty good too! To create an integrated management system that can handle summons, reverse summons, commands, conversations, sensory sharing, and mana supply all at once. ?”
It’s ridiculous.
The link we use is the essence of modern summoning.
From n̲o̲b̲l̲e̲m̲t̲l̲.̲c̲o̲m̲
Just because someone else steals it is not something that can be taken easily!
However, Jakar is an old dragon with magic that is at least two generations ahead.
Summoning is also a kind of magic after all, so his knowledge is not enough.
If he mobilized all that knowledge, it would have been possible to seize the ownership of Link as it is now.
“Was the reason you dared to attack a small town earlier to increase your power…”
“If it’s possible to seize Link like that, the more we fight, the stronger we will become.”
Westwall changeback was right.
The Red Dragon, Jakar, overturned its strategic advantage by using its superior technology.
But why?
Me and my summons couldn’t contain the laughter that came from my heart.
“That child, what I was thinking at the most…”
“How dare you steal someone else’s pets! I can’t forgive you!”
“Medusha. You shouldn’t say that.”
The Demon King was also right.
We conducted countless mock battles, but we completely missed the possibility that the Red Dragon would use the takeover link.
There is only one reason.
This is because the difficulty of the mock battle is too low.
Sure, his magic is really great, but…
I’m really glad that you used that skill and magic power to steal the link.
Unlike his counterpart, my link hijacking was done by using the unique properties of the demon realm.
It doesn’t matter how advanced your opponent’s skills are.
No matter how good an old dragon is, it will not be able to overcome the will of the world on the verge of destruction.
The Demon Lord who puts his hands inside me with strong conviction.
I made my way to the edge of the boulder, and with her I rallied.
“Louis, reign.”
“Yes.”
In response, he raises his right hand and activates the skill.
The demon king’s shadow covered my entire body like armor.
Mana that is supplied as if exploding in the heart.
I swung it and snatched Link as it flowed over his head.
“What, this, this child?”
“It’s not your summons. Give it to me!”
Links that are easily torn even though they haven’t actually touched them.
Hundreds of thousands of lines left Jakar’s control and connected to me.
Red Dragon tried to use his hand too late… but stealing my link is an ability derived from the demon realm’s survival instinct.
Laws of the world, such as gravity and electromagnetic force.
“No! Why don’t you listen to me…”
“Come to me!”
Using the privileges of the Demon King to command once more, the speed at which the link was torn off became even faster.
Links gathered in a cramped space collided with each other and swirled, creating a magical storm.
The guys who came under my control were immediately counter-summoned and left Jakar’s camp.
From n̲o̲b̲l̲e̲m̲t̲l̲.̲c̲o̲m̲
Jinshin summons that could not be reverse summoned were retrieved with a book and sent out again.
The shapes that filled the horizon melted in an instant.
From n̲o̲b̲l̲e̲m̲t̲l̲.̲c̲o̲m̲
Jakar, who is soon deprived of all his forces, tries to escape before it is too late.
However, it was after the dean’s order had already been completed.
“Enable Dimensional Summoning.”
“Oh, what are these things!”
Originally, it was my escort role, so I wouldn’t have planned to use it… To build a magic trick so quickly.
He is also the highest level summoner in the kingdom.
Since the interior is completely isolated when the dimensional summoning is unfolded, it may have been intended to be used for defense.
“Now it’s over.”
“Kyaah!”
The demon king, who had taken away all the summoned beasts, revealed his true form with the activation of the delayed spell.
The red dragon, who had no place to escape, roared fiercely.
