Swordmaster’s Youngest Son - Chapter 968
Chapter 968,
Chapter 240. The Enemy in Crisis (1)
Usrock, the 4th city of the Enemy.
The King of Great Fights, Gaila, was trembling as he received reports from his compatriots who were constantly being handed down.
“Fort 3 was wiped out. Forts 5 and 7 are also currently out of contact. It is a presumed annihilation situation!”
“Brother Gayla! You have to make a decision. At this rate, he will soon advance to Usrock…!”
The reporters’ bracelets were continuously updating the new screen. It was video communication sent by those who had barely survived the invasion and were on the run.
{Ha ha ha! Woo Usrok’s compatriots, you must flee.}
{Usrok’s location must have been exposed. It’s impossible to fight against him unless he returns…!}
Chijik! Big Deuk!
The screen inside the bracelet cracked, and the survivors’ images and voices were cut off.
The last screen Gaila and his staff saw was a compatriot they were communicating with suddenly engulfed in flames.
The fire was now burning all the forts down Usrock Mountain.
They found and burned all the troops waiting in the passage and the fortress that the enemy had built to attack the imperial family.
It was the fire of Elona. She is single-handedly searching for the underground and wiping out the enemies.
“Compatriots, compatriots! What the hell is this…! Did they even make a map of the underground?”
Gaila shouted, grabbing my head as if tearing it apart.
Even though they hadn’t directly fought yet, their eyes were red and bloodshot from the shock. It was hard to control my embarrassment and anger, and I didn’t know what decision to make.
“Compatriots of Simart… Are you still unable to properly communicate with the compatriots of Simart and the other Daetoowang compatriots?”
Reporters nodded heavily. Communication failures continued.
We don’t know what Elona did, but she’s almost completely isolating Usrok and her strongholds.
Communication with 1 2 3 5 cities was only intermittent, and even that was in poor condition, so smooth communication was impossible.
‘He deliberately… made perfect communication only between the fortresses connected to Usrock from time to time. Moreover, even that is just to show the surviving compatriots being killed while fleeing. They’re trying to scare us…!’
Hard! Gayla gritted her teeth and glared at the screen that was turned off.
The enemy tribes have suffered so much humiliation after being released from the seal and reappearing on the ground. The first awakening Simat and his party met Jin right away and suffered humiliation. Afterwards, both Great Fight King Rakiman Hogg and Drek Horn were bitterly defeated by the Bamal Alliance.
In particular, the biggest humiliation was that Drek Horn, who could supply a large amount of blood, was killed in the process. As a result, the enemy tribes lost their initiative in the alliance with the imperial family, and they had to give up Hufester and get nourishment only from Lutero.
Even that was not easily nourished. Out of nowhere, a creation wizard was added to the zip line, blocking the path of the enemy.
All of this was unimaginable in ancient times. The great enemies being hit here and there by the humans and the Melka tribe, who were no more than bugs. At that time, even the Jinma world had to look out for the enemy and the Qingmyeong tribe to survive.
‘No, no. Drunk with old glory and wrath, don’t make another mistake. Now, whether Elona Ziple is belittling us and killing us like worms, we need to judge as coldly as our fellow Simats.’
Soon, Gaila made a decision.
“All of my compatriots below level 2 Tuwang, prepare to retreat right now!”
“Dae-too king’s fellow countrymen, then, the great fight king’s fellow countrymen and the second-class fighting king’s compatriots or higher are you going to fight against him?”
“It might be better for my fellow countrymen below level 2 Tuwang to stay and buy time.”
“No, we will retreat too. But there’s no point in just leaving like this. If I build a formation well, the people who can confront him to some extent should confront him directly, grasp the information, and then retreat. Some losses are inevitable, but with me, at least 70% of my compatriots will be able to return alive.”
Gayla believed she had made a wise decision. I’m sure a fellow Simat would have made the same decision had he been here.
“…I see, Daetoo King compatriot. Then, after the retreat of our compatriots, we will remain in front of the dimension gate and wait for the compatriots of the great battle.”
“i get it.”
When the order was issued, the personnel in question began to prepare for retreat. Once the fleet started moving, it would take about three hours to reach the portal leading to another city. Originally, when abandoning the city and retreating, the rule was to destroy the portal at the end.
“Bring the best blood left in the city. Distribute it to all combatants according to the level.”
The remaining enemy tribes brought the blood accumulated in the warehouse.
Originally, it was blood reserved for use when fighting the imperial family later. Because of this incident, it was inevitable that it would be delayed for the enemy to unleash the imperial family.
“I wish you luck, Daetoo King compatriot.”
“I apologize for leaving first. As soon as the communication interruption goes away, I will immediately ask for support from other compatriots of Daetoowang.”
The fleet within the city began to leave.
The sight of hundreds of fleets floating was a spectacle in itself. If there were no figures like Elona or Jin, it would have been a force capable of capturing a considerable area of Inse in an instant.
“…Now we’re checking how the heck figured out our location and if it had anything to do with the completion of the demon stone.”
As the fleet disappeared from Usrock Fortress, a request for communication came through Gayla’s bracelet. Gayla hurriedly received the message and opened a window on her bracelet.
{Gaila….}
“Ozen compatriots!”
Ozen Kam is a 2nd class fighter of the Enemy Tribe, and together with Simat, was one of the first Enemy Tribe to awaken from the seal.
Unlike the other compatriots I communicated with earlier, he spoke a bit slowly, but had a calm expression. However, his eyes were relaxed, and he seemed to be lost somewhere, as if he was drugged.
“What happened to my compatriots? What’s your situation? Is Fort 7 safe?”
{Gayla Toon….}
Ozen made Gayla anxious with a voice as hard as a machine. Something that looked like a tree trunk was wrapped around Ozen’s head.
{Do you think you can escape…?}
“Ozen compatriots suddenly heard something.”
{There’s so much information in Ozen’s head… This guy made it so much easier to find and eliminate you.}
Goosebumps ran down Gaila’s neck.
“You guys can’t believe Elona Ziple…!”
Pop-!
As soon as Gayla answered, Ozen’s body exploded and ashes scattered across the screen. Right after that, Elona’s expressionless face appeared.
“What kind of bullshit is this guy to tear to death!”
{Gayla Tun The Great Fighting King who rules the 4th city of Usrock. What happened to the fleet you just evacuated?}
Gayla’s eyes widened.
The fleet should have already safely reached the portal, out of Gaila’s field of vision as well as beyond his senses.
However, Elona, who was farther away from the fleet than herself, was already aware of the retreat.
Gayla reflexively opened another spear on her bracelet and requested communication with the retreating Sino-Japanese fleet. There was no response at all.
“The fleet… already destroyed…?”
Elona nodded.
{Like this bracelet, there are some useful parts in the fleet, so I didn’t break them all. However, all of the enemy’s sub-troops are not worth using, even as living golems, so all were removed.} The
moment they started invading Usrock in the first place, Elona used her infinite magical power to cut off all communication from Usrock. It is a reproduction of the ‘power of blocking’ possessed by the Biseps family of the real demon world with pure magical power.
And Elona used the Holy Water Crown to infiltrate the minds of the enemy tribes captured by Ziffle.
The powerful mind control ability of Seongsu-gwan did not apply only to Elona herself. She was able to use the Holy Water Crown on others as well.
Elona invaded the enemy tribe based on the information she obtained. The approximate location of each city and several passages were confirmed from the low-ranking enemy tribes that Ziple had imprisoned, and detailed information was obtained from the enemy tribes encountered in Usrock.
Now, the only area Elona had to remove in this area was Usrock Fortress.
“You bastard… You bastard…!”
Gayla shed red tears and glared at Elona.
And suddenly I realized The fact that the scenery seen behind Elona as she was walking was very familiar.
She was already walking inside Usrock Keep. While annihilating all the fighting kings on the watchtower and the outer wall.
While Elona infiltrated this far, Gayla couldn’t read her energy at all.
Quaang-!
The main gate of the seongjusil was broken. At that moment, Gayla stood up and tried to punch forward, but the light magic poured from Elona’s staff was faster than that.
“Cuck!”
The magic of light shot like a spear penetrated Gayla’s red heart. The nearby Tuwangs also aimed at Elona, but all of them collapsed in vain at the shock that spread when the spear of light stuck in Gayla’s chest exploded.
Originally, when Gaila received a report that Elona had reached her, she planned to open up her fortress and fight against her.
But that calculation was wrong from the start. Even if she fought with the castle flower transformation fully prepared, Gayla could not be Elona’s opponent.
“Gaila Thun, now you have to let me know. Information about the other enemy kings and their strongholds.”
Holding on to the shattered optical heart, he tried to get up somehow, but the newly formed spears of light were already sticking into Gayla’s body like stakes.
Beyond the bloodstained gaze, Gayla confirmed that dozens of stems that looked like tree roots were pouring out of Elona’s holy water crown. It was the stems that were entwined around Ozen’s head.
The roots quickly engulfed Gayla.
That was the last memory of Gaila the Great Fight.
