Swordmaster’s Youngest Son - Chapter 808

Chapter 808,

Chapter 201. Invasion started (1)

Before the battle of the bust started, Ziffel closed all the mage towers except for the 1st mage tower. And while supplying fleets and troops to each region of the Federation, he built new mage towers for each level.

The second-class magic tower invaded by the enemies this time was of the middle class. About 50 ships and about 1,000 wizards were herded.

The flagship is the Arcadia class of the 5th Fleet of the Zipline family, and the tower owner is an 8-star wizard from non-Zipple. However, there were also two ghost squads and a watchdog with fighting power that surpassed that of the tower owner. Even if it’s not the best, it’s not enough to say that it’s elite.

And it only took 30 minutes for the enemies to destroy the level 2 magic tower.

Even though it was an unexpected attack, Ramatan’s magic tower was reduced to ashes without being able to properly respond.

“…was there such a big difference in fleet strength?”

said Beradin. Complete ruins spread across the land where the second-class magic tower had risen majestically. The black bone fragments left in various places in the ruins made it possible to guess that the enemy’s artillery fire had been extremely harsh.

The only two survivors of the raid were the two members of Satrin’s Ghosts.

“Yes, my lord. Out of nowhere, a huge portal opened in the sky, and more than a hundred enemy ships appeared, far exceeding the capabilities of our fleet. Most of our fleets didn’t sortie properly, but even if they fought while prepared, there would be a difference in the battle time, but the result wouldn’t have been different.”

The surviving ghosts lowered their heads while explaining the situation to Beradin.

“Did Jin seem superior to the fleet he faced?”

“…yes. I couldn’t confirm it because the enemies hardly disembarked, but the commander seemed to be someone other than Rakiman Hogg.”

“How did you make that decision?”

“The pattern of the fleet was different.”

“Is that all? You mean you didn’t declare war or tell us what was the purpose of striking us?”

“I didn’t say a single word. As soon as the portal opened, the bombardment began. The first shelling collapsed the upper part of the magic tower, killing the tower owner. I took over the command and started responding immediately, but… nothing could be done.”

Literally, the enemy disappeared in an instant after unleashing a one-sided massacre in silence. Just like Difus and Joshua, who were tainted with chaos right before the bust, did.

It was an attack that could only be carried out if large-scale teleportation was possible.

However, unlike that time, the enemy did not cause any damage to civilians. Only the magic tower was thoroughly destroyed and fell off.

“Originally, I wanted to meet and talk, but since I came out like this first, I have no choice but to fight. I feel like I’m already holding hands with other guys. Caught up tight by the madmen. Why the hell did you attack us? He probably didn’t do this just to show off his power.”

“After the magic tower was destroyed, ropes came down from the ship. I saw them capturing strong mages who survived the bombardment. We almost got caught too.”

“I don’t think it was intended to be used as a prisoner. If that was the case, I would have targeted the top owner or other factors first, and I would have told you what I wanted before leaving.”

Veradin recalled what he had recently heard from Sanna.

“Furthermore, I heard from the shaman that among the ancient underground races, there are some that feed on the blood of other beings. I guess that would be the enemy. He said that there are few corpses left even in the land branch of the Kingelo beasts that were destroyed. Probably because they took them all to get their blood.”

Whoa….

Beradin sighed and shook his head.

“I have no face.”

The ghosts bowed their heads.

“It is not your fault. Rather, it was a big credit for surviving and publicizing the size and combat power of the raiders. If there is anything you want, tell the archon.”

Veradin met the eyes of the executives while defeating the ghosts.

“…I never thought that the day would come when I would be attacked in this way by people who were neither Runkandel nor Kingelo. It hasn’t been long since he became the head of the family, but it’s no wonder that this kind of situation is happening. It’s a shameful thing.”

“The prestige of the family is irrelevant since Jin ruined everything in the past. The problem isn’t prestige or immediate damage, it’s the fact that we didn’t respond to their raid at all. Wraith Captain. The harvest was reaped without any damage, so they will continue to raid all over the Federation in this way.”

“For the time being, all regions must maintain a permanent state of emergency. Even so, I am concerned that the fleet gap is so extreme.”

“For now, we just need to hold out until we recognize the blow and send reinforcements. I lasted 30 minutes when I was attacked in a defenseless state, so if I was in perfect condition, I would last at least two hours.”

“I don’t think there will be any restrictions on the enemy’s space movement, Headmistress. I don’t think you can do raids with a fleet of over 100 ships like this every time. A raid on our area on a smaller scale will give us more time.”

“That’s what I think too, Brother Ronil. The small fast ships under test should be deployed throughout the region first. So that wherever there is a blow, it can be immediately reported to the superiors.”

All movement gateways on the ground are still closed due to the soul spirit left by Gleec. Excluding the very few capable of space leaping or ultra-long-distance communication, the fastest means of transportation in the current Inse was Zipple’s high-speed ship.

“As of the current time, the war with the enemy clan has begun. With the lack of information, we will have to fight against the odds for the time being. The most urgent thing is to find out their stronghold.”

“I will issue orders to capture at least one enemy member of the enemy family whenever a battle occurs. Even if it comes at some cost.”

“Do that, brother. Also, even if you lose one mage tower, capturing one of the enemies will be more profitable. And don’t cover up today’s work. It was broken so badly that I couldn’t hide it anyway.”

If the Demon Stone was in a more perfect state than it is now, it would be enough to cover up this disgrace with history manipulation, but it was impossible now.

“What can I do?”

“jin. Please publish an article suspicious of the Bamal Alliance and the enemy’s collusion.”

“All right.”

“It’s an obvious agitation, but the important thing is to make the public aware that the new danger of the enemy tribe that has arrived on the ground has started from Jin. Hurry up. The picture is good when the knight comes out first before the enemy tribe attacks Runcandel or the Barmal Alliance.”

“Yes, my lord. In fact, this time, the enemy intentionally excluded civilian damage, so there are parts in common with the Barmal Alliance method. I will publish an article based on that.”

“But it’s a strange thing, Headmaster. According to the report of the ghost group, it seems that the enemy has already formed some kind of grudge against Jin, but I don’t understand why they attacked us with that power first. Even if there were a bunch of sword gardens and Tikans, if we attacked Hufester and the castles and fortresses of the empire, we could have done quite a bit of damage.”

Ronil nodded at Octavia’s words. Veradin’s pupils narrowed.

“fear.”

“…house owner?”

“For some reason, I have a hunch that they must be afraid of Jin. Not too long ago, the captain-level enemy tribe and the entire fleet were almost finished by one person who lost in the 3rd branch of Kingelo. The reason why they hit us first and excluded civilian damage could be because they don’t want to provoke Jin for the time being.”

Veradin turned and walked towards Kozek.

“So, let’s tell them who is the scarier opponent from now on.”

* * *

“Beradin will surely spread the news that we have awakened the enemy. It’s not enough that Runkandel gave birth to a bad god, and he’s threatening royalties with the underground forces again. Judging by the recent form of public opinion warfare by Veradin, it is certain.”

Jin correctly predicted the number of Beradins.

“It is your specialty to drop your prestige, but Ziffle has been waging public opinion wars on a strangely frequent basis these days. Didn’t you decide not to care about that anymore? I have a feeling that there must be some other reason rather than just trying to make a cause for war.”

“That’s right, Mr. Quikantel. It’s just a sudden thought, but maybe the public opinion war to attribute the threat to public tax to my responsibility may be the basis for the manipulation of history that will happen someday. The more people who believe that, the easier it will be to manipulate.”

“Wow… I got goosebumps, Gongja Jin. It could be. But we have Valeria, so we’ll be fine!”

“I can only guess, Enya. Anyway, the more important issue right now is the move of Jiple and the enemy. This time we touched on the zipline, but next time it could be us or the empire. We have a Mort and a red owl to communicate with, so we can respond much faster than the Zipple, but we don’t have enough fleet. You can’t send a fleet in perfect condition to all areas like Zipple.”

The underground drying facility in Geomhwangji has not been completed yet.

“The mass-produced EL has not yet been completed. Magic knight troops are not at the level of being deployed in all areas. So, first of all, we need to somehow speed up the production of communication devices and supply them to each major stronghold and stronghold. In case of an attack by the enemy tribe, so that I and other superhumans can be called and go to support at any time.”

In other words, what the Runkandel and Barmal union needed most was time.

[The speed at which the losers move is unusual. The remnants of the imperial family, or whoever they made a deal with, must be people who know the enemy well. They are supplying while knowing exactly what the enemy needs to regain their strength. Blood of outstanding people and information on royalties.]

“Ameris. Didn’t you say last time that the enemy tribe has a skill that makes the dead fight again?”

[It did. The enemy tribes use the mad hearts of dead warriors to create a bioweapon called the Immortal Army. Why are you asking that all of a sudden?]

An ominous thought pierced Jin’s brain.

‘If the remnants of the imperial family are right about the deal… the best price they can get from the enemy is a skill that can turn Temar’s body into a weapon.’

Jin shook his head without letting the thought out of his mouth.

“it’s nothing. I just suddenly thought of it. First of all, I will return to my family, review the deployment of troops, and then come back. If there is anything you need to know right away, please let me know.”

“I understand, Confucius.”

That’s when Jin rode the red owl to the Garden of Swords.

The enemy tribes were also opening a dimensional portal for invasion above the sky of Inse. It was above the sky guarded by the Empire Dante.
