Sand Mage of the Burnt Desert - Chapter 140
Sand Mage Of The Burnt Desert Chapter 140
Episode 140:
The scavengers were literally plunderers.
They live by attacking and killing others and looting their belongings.
Scavengers existed even when the entire Earth turned into a desert as a side effect of terraforming and humanity was on the verge of complete extinction a hundred years ago.
They chose to survive by killing their fellow humans rather than dealing with demonic beasts.
Because of this, humanity had to fight not only with demonic beasts but also with scavengers.
After Neo Seoul was firmly established, the scavengers lost their ground and fled to the desert. So people thought that scavengers would no longer exist in Neo Seoul.
Even if there are any left, there will only be a very small number of them.
However, as if to prove that such people were wrong, the number of scavengers who attacked the White Bear Caravan Fortress was enormous.
At first glance, the number seemed to be over three hundred.
“Hehehe!”
“I’m dead!”
Meanwhile, the scavengers who had been living in Neo Seoul pretending to be normal people and ordinary awakened people were venting their desires as if to vent their anger.
“How dare you bastards….”
“Stop there.”
“Send support this way.”
The awakened members of the White Bear Caravan fought without any signs of panic or fear.
The distance from Akutsk Colony to Neo Seoul Colony is over thousands of kilometers.
No matter how much Damian tried to lead the way to avoid danger, he couldn’t avoid all the demon beasts.
Among the enemies they faced were scavengers.
The scavengers survived even in a harsh environment that seemed uninhabitable.
The awakened members of the White Bear Caravan gained experience by fighting them.
Of course, he knew how to deal with scavengers well.
One of them was to rely on the fortress to fight.
They deliberately left only a narrow entrance open to attract scavengers.
No matter how many scavengers there are, the number of people who can enter through the narrow entrance is limited.
“Aaaah!”
“Oops!”
The scavengers screamed and died.
“Fuck! “It can’t go on like this.”
“Let’s go up the castle wall.”
In the end, some scavengers chose to climb the castle wall. But preparations for that had already been made.
Puzzle!
Suddenly, sparks exploded on the outer wall of the castle.
High-voltage current flows along the outer wall.
Scavengers who were climbing the exterior walls like cockroaches were electrocuted by high-voltage current and fell into the rainwater.
“Hehe! “Scavengers that eat rotten meat are crawling out of nowhere.”
A bald man appeared on the castle wall.
The man’s name is Nathan.
He was an awakened person who used lightning-type magic.
The grade was not high.
Only D grade.
Nevertheless, the reason it was able to exert such strong power was because the outer wall of the fortress was made of a special material.
It conducts electricity well and has the property of being amplified several times more. Therefore, even though the D-class awakened person sent electricity, many awakened people dropped like flies.
“Haha! Go for it as much as you want. Because the White Bear Caravan will never collapse.”
“That bastard….”
“Someone make that bastard shut up.”
The scavengers were furious at Nathan’s ridicule.
Some scavengers climbed the walls again.
“Jerk the!”
Nathan looked at them rushing at them like moths and tried to use his magic.
If you send out a thunderbolt, the scavengers clinging to the castle walls will fall.
But Nathan couldn’t use the thunderbolt magic.
puck!
This is because an arrow came from somewhere and pierced his head.
“Oops!”
Nathan looked in the direction the arrow came from with an expression of disbelief.
There was a barrier at the top of the fortress, and the arrow went through it.
Nathan wanted to know why, but wasn’t given the chance.
Nathan, who struggled for a moment, fell straight down.
My breath stopped.
“A little bastard who is nothing special is showing off…”
There was someone who laughed as they looked at Nathan’s falling body.
It was the awakened person who fired an arrow from a long distance.
The place where he was was quite far from the fortress.
A group of people were gathered around the awakened person.
They were heavily armed with robes and masks to hide their identities.
It looked similar to a scavenger, but the texture was different.
The largest man among them spoke to the man who shot the arrow.
“young! “It’s hard to act proud when you barely got through the barrier thanks to a buff.”
“Wow! Captain, do you really have to say that?”
“Stop acting out and prepare for battle.”
“yes!”
The awakened man holding the bow returned to his original place with an answer.
At that time, a slender woman walked out of the group.
The woman spoke to the awakened person called the leader.
“Now we are slowly preparing to participate in the war. Brixton!”
“I am not in Brixton now. It’s just one of many scavengers. “Don’t forget that, Sister!”
“joy! “Don’t call me a nun either.”
“If you had just brainwashed me well in the first place, there wouldn’t have been a need to make things this complicated.”
The woman called a nun was Kim Jae-kyung.
Kim Jae-kyung and Brixton led their men and participated in the battle for the Spirit King’s crown.
Instead, the premise was that the identity should never be revealed.
That was why they disguised themselves as scavengers.
Kim Jae-kyung, who had been glaring at Brixton for a moment, looked back at the castle.
The battle between the White Bear Caravan and the scavengers was reaching its climax.
There were numerous corpses lying around at the entrance of the fortress, and the cordon at the entrance was dangerous as if it might collapse at any moment.
Many scavengers have died, but their momentum has not yet broken.
“You just need to be a little more strong.”
“Fuck! “It’s almost completely cleared now.”
The scavengers struggled furiously.
Brixton, who was watching the scene closely, said.
“good! It looks like it’s almost completely cleared now, so we can join the battle. “They rush in at once, completely wiping out the scavengers and the caravan awakeners.”
“yes!”
Brixton’s subordinates responded in unison.
However, the look in their eyes above the mask was strange.
Everyone was red and bloodshot.
Jaekyung Kim looked at them and shook his head.
‘Those crazy berserker bastards.’
They were literally berserkers.
People who believe that God is with them and can throw their lives away without a care.
Kim Jae-kyung also fanatically followed Yohan, but he felt appalled by the sight of the even more fanatical berserkers.
“let’s go! “Let’s organize everything and leave before the others intervene.”
“ancient!”
Brixton and the berserkers ran towards the fortress.
“You crazy bastards!”
Kim Jae-kyung shook his head and followed after them.
With the joining of Brixton and the Berserkers, the battlefield became even more chaotic.
“Aaaah!”
“What are these bastards doing?”
“Fuck things! “Kill them all.”
There was a lot of yelling and screaming, and blood was splattered everywhere.
In this way, White Bear Caravan was becoming a land of death.
＊＊＊
News that the White Bear Caravan’s fortress was attacked spread throughout the slums.
People watched the fight unfold in the desert from the rooftops of tall buildings on the outskirts of the slums.
“what? How is it going? “A new group entered the war.”
“It’s so far away that I should be able to tell.”
“shit! “In times like this, you need a telescope.”
Ordinary people only knew that a fight was taking place, but did not know the details.
However, I didn’t dare to get close to the fortress.
This was because it was clear that ordinary people like them would die in an instant before they even got close to the fortress.
Although it was a little frustrating, this distance was the best.
It was then.
“Get out of the way! “You bastards.”
“Take all these away.”
A group of people appeared on the roof of the tallest building.
They kicked out all the poor people on the rooftop.
The poor did not dare to fight back and hurried down.
The leader of the group looked at the battlefield and muttered.
“You guys are fighting well.”
The leader, who was wearing a suit, had a rope wrapped around his waist that did not suit him.
It was an item called the jade keeper’s rope.
The leader of the group was Cha Jin-cheol.
He was a confidant of Kim Hyeon-soo, the king of the western district, and participated in the auction as his agent.
Kim Hyun-soo gave the jade keeper’s rope that he had purchased at auction as a gift.
A whopping ten tons of magic stones were used to purchase the jade keeper’s rope.
An item of such enormous value was given to Cha Jin-cheol without any compensation.
Naturally, Cha Jin-cheol’s loyalty to Kim Hyun-soo could not help but deepen.
Cha Jin-cheol gave an order.
“I don’t have time. “Get ready to fire the railgun.”
“yes!”
The subordinates moved in perfect order as they answered.
They began connecting the long iron barrels they had brought with them.
A long barrel as long as ten meters was installed.
It was the part that became the barrel of the railgun.
Railguns were originally weapons that fired with powerful electromagnetic fields.
The problem is that it is difficult to generate enough power to fire a rail gun in the modern era.
The western sector replaced it with magic and awakeners.
The key was to strengthen the gun barrel that became the railgun with enchantments and create enormous power through mechanized awakeners.
Because it required such an enormous amount of power to fire once, it was of little use against moving objects or magical beasts.
This is because there is no reason to wait for the railgun to charge.
However, it is different if it is a fortress that does not move.
No matter how much magic treatment and barriers are plastered, a rail gun will be able to cut through that thick castle wall in an instant.
When the rail gun was installed, dozens of awakeners clung to it.
“Recharge.”
“charge!”
In response, the mechanized awakeners placed their arms on the railgun’s barrel.
Yikes!
In an instant, their arms transformed with a mechanical sound.
The arm that looked like a charger was combined with the rail gun barrel.
The mechanized awakeners began supplying power to the railgun.
Ugh!
As power was charged, a resonant sound rang out from the railgun barrel.
Because the railgun is so large, it takes a long time to fully charge.
When the railgun was finally fully charged, the mechanized awakeners who served as human batteries fell away.
“Ugh!”
“omg!”
Their faces turned pale as they had used up all their mana.
As many as thirty awakened people collapsed from exhaustion. However, Cha Jin-cheol gave orders without even looking at them.
“Fire.”
“firing!”
In response, the only awakened person standing fired his railgun.
Quang!
The cannonball flew at incredible speed and instantly blew away one side of the fortress.
The scavengers and awakeners in the area were startled by the sudden explosion and stopped fighting for a moment.
They certainly didn’t expect that the walls of the fortress would blow away.
However, those who briefly grasped the situation gained momentum.
“The wall collapsed.”
“Fuck you guys! “Everyone is dead.”
“Wipe it all away.”
When the huge barrier blocking the front collapsed, scavengers and awakeners from the area poured into the fortress like a tide.
A look of confusion appeared on Alexandre’s face.
“What did they attack with? “To destroy the castle walls in one fell swoop.”
“are you okay. “This much was already expected.”
Damian, on the other hand, was calm.
No matter how much I reinforced it with the best materials and plastered it with magic and barriers, I did not think that the walls would be able to endure to the end.
The walls collapsed sooner than expected, but this was no problem.
Damian muttered while looking at Neo Seoul.
‘Come, elves! Here is the item you want so much.’
