Chapter 171
Battle of the Holy Land.
(1) 1.
There are people who liken the sight of people losing their lives in war to 'flowers are blooming brilliantly'.
I can assure you, that person has never been directly in the middle of a battlefield.
- Whoa! - Push the gate! push it! - Kreung, Kreuk! I thought that the branches would fly off in front of my nose, so I guess! Right next to him, a huge ax crushed the soldier into his armor.
The noise of breaking flesh.
The roar of breaking iron.
The moans of the soldiers.
On the battlefield, life swelled like bubbles rising from a hot swamp.
"-for a moment.
What is going on?”
The Black Dragon Lord said in a bewildered way.
He wasn't embarrassed by the horrors of the battle.
She was embarrassed by the sudden transition to the middle of the battlefield.
“Princess, how did this happen… .
no Does anyone have a quest window that pops up?”
"none." "no!" “It’s unkind.”
The black dragon clicked his tongue.
“Are you asking us to take a look and figure out the situation? Although his personality was a bit strange, [the library chief] was a kind constellation...
.
Sigh.
Everyone, let's take off and check the situation in the air.
Then it will be better.”
Blame it, Black Dragon Zhu stepped out on the ground.
"Yes?" But her body did not fly.
Black Dragon Zhu furrowed his eyebrows as if strangely.
“… what.
Can't you fly?" It was as she said.
Up to the 31st and 32nd floors, we were able to fly freely.
It was also possible to observe beyond the horizon.
Do you feel like you've become a transcendent? 'It's a real battle from now on.' I understood the meaning behind the surprise.
'It was rather good.
Whether it's a skill or a power, if you become comfortable with it, your sense of being a hunter increases.
Even if one accident occurs, even in the worst case, I can turn back time.' I looked around.
Currently, we are in a state of being invisible.
The head that soared in the air and the blood that burst out of the air passed freely through our bodies.
It's not a pleasant experience to see someone's visceral and visceral parts swipe past my body.
“Not just one or two races participated in the battle, but several.”
If you focus your mind, you can easily observe the surroundings.
“The pure race, the fairies, the nobles… .
It is a multi-ethnic alliance.
It looks like they are fighting each other, but they are on the same side.
Each tribe is in charge of the military class.
The pure races form a shield wall and take on the role of infantry, while the fairies are archers… .
The nobles are cavalry.”
I narrowed my eyes.
“Vampires are flying in the air.
Well.
I can't see the new tribe, but it seems that all the tribes that were enslaved in Slimepolis have formed an allied army.”
“Then the enemy… .”
“Yes.”
I nodded, “Nine times out of ten, I am Sanwa.”
ooooooooooo! The Allied Forces shouted and gradually pulled the ranks forward.
The soldiers were all around us, so it was difficult to understand how the battle was going, but it was felt that the situation was changing.
“I can’t.
If you stay here, you won't be able to do anything but eat the corpses and your friends." The black dragon took my hand.
“I’m going to do some reconnaissance with the Four Kings.
If you scatter, it will be difficult to reunite, so you are waiting here.
king.
Is that okay?" I knew what the Black Dragon Lord was trying to do.
space transfer.
The Black Dragon Lord is trying to reconnaissance using his own special skill.
This skill can be transferred not only to oneself but also to the other party, but has a limitation that [the other party must agree to use the skill].
“Yes.”
“Okay.”
A black aura leaked out of the black dragon's body and grabbed my wrist.
The next moment, we were in the air.
Looking down on the ground, thousands of soldiers swarmed like swarms of insects.
As the two of us were pulled by gravity to fall, the Black Dragon Zhu used another skill: “Transfer!”
Then the fall stopped for a while: “…whenever you try to fall, you use a transfer to stay in place?”
“I can’t fly, so what should I do? Jeon.
What I realized after a long hunter career is, transfer.
Skills are a trick and the more you use them, the more convenient.
Transfer.”
“Wow, I don’t really buy form….”
"Does the form feed you? Jeon.
I'm busy using my skills, so you take a look at the ground." "Yep." We achieved a state of emptiness by trickery and carefully grasped the situation of the war.
"what." I was immediately seized by a strange sense of déjà vu.
“The geography here is familiar… .”
"Yeah.
I feel like I'm familiar with it for some reason." “It’s not a siege, it’s a siege.”
As we expected, the tribe fighting the Allied Forces was the Sanwa.
The Sanwa camped at the entrance of a huge cave, which seemed to be the only wall and gate.
“… … Isn't that Slimepolis?" A city steeped in history where slaves escaped.
There, races that were no longer slaves were attacking.
2.
“They say it has become a holy land.”
said the swordsman.
We each collected and shared information.
“In the barracks of the Puritans, I overheard the conversations of the soldiers to and fro.
He said that he would definitely retake the Holy Land in this expedition.
Judging from the [this time] expedition, I don't think it's the first time we've attacked Slimepolis." "iced coffee.
that's what i've been hearing This is the 6th expedition.”
The viper raised his hand.
“It must have been that the Allied Forces were formed several times over hundreds of years and put pressure on the Slime Empire.
Almost all of the empire has already been destroyed, and Slimepolis is the only stronghold that has not been captured.”
“Sacred place… .
Another annoying word.”
Black Dragon Zhu touched his forehead.
It's a very ugly face.
“If I had to pick three words I hate the most in the world, I would pick terror, holy land, and heresy.
iced coffee.
At the beginning of the tower, [This is a holy place! It is the Tower of Babel that God has given us a new permission! ] and all kinds of heresies came...
.”
“It was a place called [Neo-Babylonianism].”
The paladin folded his arms.
“To point out the truth, at least they were medicine.
I remember the heretics who shouted [This is Leruye!] and went mad.”
I tilted my head.
“Lruye? What is it?" “I don’t know the details either.
It's a city from a novel, but it's sinking in the deep sea." “The tower isn’t in the deep sea, is it?”
The tower is everywhere and nowhere.
To put it bluntly, the tower viewed from the outside is closer to a 'miracle'.
No matter where you stand, you can see the shadow of the tower on the other side of the horizon.
Whether you look at it from Seoul or Busan, from Korea or from Chile, you can see the tower anytime and anywhere.
It's like tempting you to run away from here.
“They are heretics who really accept the novel.
Don't expect a normal way of thinking.
By the way, some of these cults are still active under the Pantheon Guild.”
"to.
Are you okay though? They are psychopaths.”
“Understand why we continue to entrust the pantheon to the Inquisitor.
king.
The only ones who can rule madmen are more madmen than them.”
"indeed… .”
The Pantheon is more magical than I thought.
The Black Dragon Lord sighed and looked around.
"It's quickest to leave these issues to the Inquisitor...
.
I'm sure I missed out Really, it's useful, but it's never really needed." The battle ceased for a while.
The battlefield, which was fierce during the day, was quiet now as the sun set in the sky, just as the air in early summer slowly cools down at night.
The soldiers of the multi-ethnic coalition were preparing supper.
“After all, it’s a holy land… … ." “It is only natural that Slimepolis is considered a holy place.”
I said, "It's a land where all the guardian deities worshiped by the seven tribes descended.
It's absurd not to think of it as a holy place.
From Sanwa to pure races, vampires, Sagis, nobles, and fairies, it is a holy land for all races.
It will be.”
The swordsman nodded, "The Sanwa are trying to protect this place, while the other races are trying to retake Gero." “Moreover, the last remaining city in the Empire….
Either way, it will be difficult to back down.”
The multi-racial coalition has a history of being oppressed as slaves by the Sanwa.
It is a mixture of faith, resentment, and politics.
It is not easy to solve.
"Ugh." The black dragon groaned.
“It’s strange.
Knowing this, before I cleared the last stage, I firmly told the vampire kids.
There is no such thing as a god in this world, and even if there is a god, that is not me.
Maybe my teachings have been lost...
?”
"Huh.
I did something similar to that.”
I was drawn to the words of the Black Dragon Lord.
“Where did you get your points from Black Dragon Juice?”
“[Racial Evolution].”
what.
I saw Black Dragon Juice as a savings-type hamster who saves and saves points.
“You have made a huge investment.
It is surprising.”
"......." Heukryongju looked at my face silently and sighed as if it was ridiculous.
“… … I overheard your picks.”
"Yes?" “I took into account your choices.
I don't know, but it's your choice.
I thought it would be a very good item, so I chose the same.”
“Eh.
Didn't I follow you too much?" "Noisy.
What’s wrong with referencing well-known people?”
“Wow, so shameless… .
Vampires are intelligent bats.
I’m curious to see how it will change as it evolves.”
"I do not know.
Maybe a vampire?”
“Shhh.”
The paladin raised his hand and pointed to one of the camps.
“It became noisy.”
We immediately shut our mouths, as the paladin had said, there was a commotion in the Allied positions.
The soldiers who were eating supper swallowed the naan bread, and then gathered somewhere.
"Let's go." We got close to Black Dragon and transferred it.
"I feel bad because I feel like I have become a mother pig...
”
murmured the Black Dragon, but this method was the fastest.
military entrance.
Hundreds of warriors lined up there.
They were warriors of a race that was neither a bird tribe nor a vampire tribe, nor a pure race, nor a noble tribe, nor a fairy tribe.
The pure race commander said to them.
-Warriors of the Wet Lands.
What's going on here? We are allies in a sacred pact to avenge an old grudge.
Do not invade this place with swords and spears.
- Ugor.
The head of the warriors lightly bowed their heads.
-I am Gerkesa, the 73rd Daejeon samurai in the ranks of the Peace Council and the vanguard commander of this expeditionary force.
My distant ancestors mined stone salt in Slimepolis.
Rest assured that our sword has not yet been directed against you.
just designated people.
The race I was leading was riding on a lion and staring at the Allied Forces camp.
-expedition? The people of the wet land had not declared that they would not participate in this war.
- I just said that I would not join your expedition.
The designated warrior said calmly.
-The council decided to participate in this war, albeit belatedly.
- What? war? - Ugor.
As one of the nobles on behalf of the Council, I have come to inform you of this decision.
We inform you that we never intend to surprise or betray you.
hey Indeed, I realized that 600 years had passed.
'Their tone of voice has become very old-fashioned.' Until the last stage, the distinctive pronunciation of the designated tribe remained.
At the end of every word, you say 'goreuk' and the pronunciation splatters.
However, there were hardly any traces left in the words of the warrior now.
Pronunciation is also more rounded, so 'gor' is closer to 'ugou'.
-no… Isn't the way you talk now the problem? ? The spirit behind him mumbled tremblingly.
- You've grown a lot.
these guys! Yes.
The designated tribe, which stayed at the level of a dwarf, nearly doubled in size.
It was equal to or greater than pure race.
'[Racial evolution] has been done properly.' Larger than humans, but smaller than orcs.
- Crer.
He even rode on a lion as big as his own body.
The lion sniffed and glared at the brute commander.
The purebred was taken aback and took a step backwards.
- don't ask The designated tribe tapped the lion's mane.
- This child is a good friend.
do not worry.
-no… What does it mean to go to war? To intervene in a war without participating in our expeditionary force does not mean taking the side of the Sanwa people.
make it clear Are you the messenger who came to deliver the declaration of war? -I swear by the names of Kekerukker and Gorke, no.
Kekerukker, though, do you swear by Gorke's name? little guy.
You've finally come out -We have only gone out in the name of God to prevent evil from being committed.
-crime… ? is it a sin? -Yes.
you are making a mistake The guardian gods never want us to destroy the Sanwa.
In the Age of Exodus, when we tried to retaliate against the Sanwa, the guardian deities turned away.
The meaning is clear and clear.
The designated warriors exposed their molars.
-A war beyond this is not honorable, nor is it sacred.
Just as it was horrendous for the Sanwa to whip us, it is also harsh to take the Sanwa's last resting place.
-What...
-Vengeance is enough.
Those who are bound by the same chains.
The designated tribal warlord said.
-Stop fighting.
We are here to end this old war.
