Solo Swordmaster - Chapter 358
#358. What the hell is this?
* * *
“We have supplemented the manpower.”
After forming the Continental Alliance.
Rose went straight to Limon.
Then, like a spouse who went on a business trip and brought a gift, he said with a light smile.
“I’ve already talked about it, so feel free to use it.”
“okay? You persuaded me better than I thought. I thought there would be a lot of dissatisfied kids.”
“If you have any complaints, I asked them to do it with force, and then I gave them some advice to the bravest people, and they all agreed.”
“…Isn’t your sister too well adapted to Africa?”
It’s only a matter of pursuing power.
Instead, it is the strength of Africans to obey when they prove their strength.
Seeing Rose, who had a kind smile and said something that was not kind, was dumbfounded for a moment.
Limon scratched his cheek.
“Well, I prepared it anyway, so I’ll use it well. I was just doing it if I had more numbers.”
Limon entrusted the gift he received from Rose to Chief Lucuma, who was working with the residents while sweating.
“Can you control Chief Lucuma well?”
“Control? How can I get that many troops…”
“Really? If you can’t do it, I’ll leave it to the Umbaru Chief.”
“Just leave it to me! We will do it with the honor of our tribe!”
“Okay, don’t forget to do what you are told to do. If I make a mistake, my sister will be very angry. got it?”
“I will keep that in mind.”
so after a few days.
The head of each military government, who led troops from across the continent and joined them one after another, lost his senses.
They were prepared for a harsh war as they witnessed Hasneti’s power.
However, the battlefield they witnessed was much harsher than they imagined.
However, the direction of the harshness was different.
“…what to do?”
“Dig a hole from here to there. Carrying stone by car. For details, you can refer to the order here.”
“So you want us to shovel here?”
“why? Isn’t that a common thing?”
It was not wrong.
There is no army without sappers.
Similarly, digging trenches and building fortifications on the battlefield was familiar to soldiers.
One problem.
It was the size of the project.
A huge army of over 100,000 people from over a hundred countries participating in the Continental Alliance.
The sight of them all scattering across the meadow, shoveling and carrying large boulders with a grunt, did not look like an encampment.
To put it bluntly…
“This looks more like a pyramid construction site than an encampment?”
“So you’re saying you can’t?”
“I’m here to fight!”
I had been running at the risk of a bloody battle with the Egyptian army.
The head of the military government, who was ordered to work out of nowhere, expressed his dissatisfaction in various ways.
However, Chief Lucuma’s response was the same.
“If you have any complaints, tell our general.”
“Keep it off…”
Almost everyone was sunk by that one word and followed as he was told.
After the Continental Alliance was formed.
How Rose responded to those who secretly coveted the right to command.
Because those who saw the process clearly couldn’t go against her official order.
Thus, the brave soldiers of the Continental Alliance joined the crucial cornerstone to stop the Egyptian army.
With a shovel instead of a gun.
It was the beginning of an unprecedented high-speed civil engineering project in which almost all warlords in Africa, except Egypt, were employed as manual laborers.
But among them, there was a manual laborer who stood out.
It was Limon, who was carving rock pillars all over the meadow with only one carving knife.
clap clap.
“Let’s see… can we do it this way?”
without even using a chisel and hammer.
Use only a platinum carving knife.
The skill of carving a rough rock into a stone pillar like flowing water is truly unparalleled.
I wanted to put my hand on it for a while, but the speed at which it turned a rock into a pillar before tens of minutes had passed was truly phenomenal.
But what really surprised me was not the speed, but the skill.
It’s definitely the same stone.
The degree of bumpiness and smoothness.
angle of inclination from the ground, etc.
Limon’s sculpting technique, which captures the feeling of cliffs, peaks, and dry land, with only minute differences, was something that made other engravers doubt their eyes.
Especially in that a top-notch engraver takes a few days to carve out a piece that would be difficult in minutes.
kang.
“Ghmm, this is harder than I thought.”
Even so, Limon couldn’t erase his disapproving expression.
Sculpture is just a tool.
In reality, he was more focused on imbuing the pillar with dragon psionics.
The problem was its performance.
It was because it was difficult even for Limon to create the flow he wanted beyond just containing the dragon psionic.
However, there was nowhere to turn for advice.
In the first place, infusing dragon psionic into an object was unprecedented.
“I can’t help it.”
Dozens of times trying to carve the pillars in various ways to somehow create the desired flow.
Still, not getting satisfactory results, Limon clicked his tongue.
And decided.
“If the quality isn’t good, you have to make up for it with the quantity.”
kkang kkang kkang!
…It was the moment when it was decided that hundreds of stone pillars would be erected in the Dominion of Kilimanjaro.
No matter how fast Limon was, he had to devote himself to carving days and nights to carve that many pillars.
But he persevered.
Because he is a sword master who never gets tired.
And no matter how much dragon psionics he put in, it was an ignorant thing that was only possible because of the overflowing Limon.
Instead, the result was certain.
This is because hundreds of stone pillars were erected in the grassland before the Egyptian army arrived.
“…Did you really do it?”
“You talk like you thought you couldn’t make it, sister?”
“Not like that. Just think it’s because of that surprise.”
Rose honestly admired the calm air currents that were as proud as the river that covered the meadow centered on hundreds of stone pillars.
A psionic flow that even she can barely feel if she knows that Jin is there and concentrates for a long time.
It was because this secrecy was proof that Jin was properly completed.
“The Black Dragon clan will be shocked and unable to speak when they see that you can create one of the best craftsmanship of the Seven Dragons in just a few days.”
“Well, it’s all thanks to everyone’s hard work.”
It’s because I don’t even have the stamina to go back.
Chief Lucuma fell asleep in the meadow.
Umbaru snoring loudly with her legs resting on his chest.
Besides that, there is a soldier having a party to celebrate the completion of their respective barracks, and Shu taking care of the wounded who came out during the construction.
And seeing Namim and Utopia guild members sleeping soundly at the summoned beasts, Limon laughed.
It was clear that everyone in the Continental Alliance was able to meet the construction schedule thanks to working day and night, even if it wasn’t to the extent that they didn’t sleep.
“But as you can see, Count, this gin is not properly finished.”
Limon said with a serious face.
Originally, Seokbyeongpalmun Geumswajin is a battle method practiced by the masters of the Black Dragon clan with eight pillars as the main axis.
However, Limon replaced the flow of psionics, which the Black Dragon clan had to create and coordinate, by inserting hundreds of pillars containing dragon psionics into them.
Of course, you can put dragon psionics into objects.
It was possible because he had fought the Black Dragon clan for hundreds of years and learned their tactics.
But imitation is just imitation.
Compared to the Seokbyeong Eight Gates Golden Sweeping Jin, which was directly controlled by the Black Dragon clan, this Jin lacked a lot.
“Thanks to the amount of filling, the range of effect is ridiculously widened, but compared to Leviathan, the effect is only about half at most.”
open dog.
Take a break (休).
Life to save.
Injury (injury).
closing two.
view (景).
surprise.
death (death).
Unlike the original, which can open and close the eight doors freely depending on the situation, this Jin has only four doors.
Besides, the flow of psionics has to be controlled through the pillar, so of course the transition is not free.
Compared to Leviathan, which was reinforced with magic and sorcery, the effect, durability, and durability were inevitably inferior.
Limon said calmly.
“Half of that should be enough to deal with the Egyptians.”
Rose was not disappointed.
No, on the contrary, he smiled.
It was because what she had asked Limon to do in the first place was something other than the establishment of a military base.
“It would be even more so if you were the one in command of our army.”
“…It’s difficult to say that.”
Even as he scratched his cheek, Limon did not deny her words.
I just let out a sigh.
“Don’t be too overconfident, sister. It’s the first time since World War II that I’ve held the baton.”
As a veteran who fought in all of the fiercest wars of the past hundreds of years before becoming a swordsman.
Limon, who took over all command of the Continental Alliance from Rose, prepared to face the Egyptian army step by step.
* * *
‘What the hell is this?’
Of course, other military government chiefs.
Up to Umbaru or Lucuma Chief.
Most of the Continental Alliance was feeling uneasy inside.
After summoning 100,000 soldiers to face the Egyptian army, the only thing they did was civil engineering and erecting some strange stone pillars.
I couldn’t help but wonder if Rose really intended to win this war.
In particular, it was all the more so in that the command of the entire army was left to a boy with tanning blonde hair.
“What the hell is this…?”
but this moment.
All the soldiers of the Continental Alliance, regardless of rank, were muttering the same thing with a different meaning than before.
A vast grassland with hundreds of stone pillars erected over a radius of hundreds of kilometers.
It wasn’t just seeing the Egyptian soldiers who set foot there, circling between the stone pillars all day long.
Bang Kwa Kwang! Beep!
It seems that I finally realized the ideal.
The appearance of the Egyptian army that started pouring artillery fire in all directions while building a camp.
And every time it crossed the boundary of the stone pillar, the trajectory twisted sharply, and eventually the shells that landed on the ground made their jaws wide open.
Roaring!
“That’s…!”
“African Tyrant!”
Did you decide that you couldn’t do it with shelling?
The commanders held their breath as they saw a raging whirlwind of fire rising from the center of the Egyptian army.
It was because he knew that the stone pillar’s barrier was strong, but he was unsure whether it would be able to block Hasneti’s power.
As if to prove that insecurity.
The whirlpool of flames, which had been getting bigger and bigger, swelled up like an explosion and poured out in all directions.
Qurrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!
“Huh!”
“Everybody get down!”
It’s as if the entire meadow will be burned down.
Seeing the wall of flame rushing in like a tidal wave, the soldiers fell face down in fright.
However, it is the most advanced tank.
Limon, sitting on the edge of the turret and watching the Egyptians with his chin resting on one hand, did not raise an eyebrow.
I just opened my mouth on the walkie-talkie.
“Seokbyeongpalmun Geumswajin Closed Gate.”
