Chapter 268 – Chapter 66. Omens.
Despair swept across the battlefield for an instant at the momentum of the enemies. But then Jihyeok raised his holy sword. It emitted a blindingly bright light and created a pillar of light high in the sky.
“Don’t lose your courage. There is a continent behind us, a hometown, and a family ㅡㅡ!! Heroes, don’t kneel in front of fear!!”
A loud cry pierced the battlefield. It was stronger than the buff and overpowered the fear.
The capital defenders who regained their morale again glared at the enemies who were bumping into them and grabbed their spears with all their might. The archers who were pulling the strings fired Ping Ping arrows at the signal.
Clumps of hard-knotted earth flew back and struck the walls, shaking the heavens and the earth. The crisis that struck the capital that had been peaceful for hundreds of years quickly turned everything into chaos.
Of course, the Capital Defense Forces did not stand still. Each of the large-scale wizards chanted the magic they were most confident in, and poured it out at the Demon King’s army, which came like a swarm of ants from afar.
Numerous magics that flew while flashing exploded and exploded at the Demon King’s army. However, the Demon King’s army, not afraid of death, continued to advance without hesitation.
The flying lump of dirt finally stopped and the legion of giants slowly began to appear. The sight of giants of overwhelming size approaching with heavy armaments was truly a terror.
Ah.
Among the feeble-minded soldiers, those who saw the overwhelming scene collapsed to the ground one after another. The warriors ran to them, grabbed them by the collar, and lifted them up. And he didn’t forget to stick his stern face into that frightened face, spatter and squeal.
“I think if you, the fuck you, collapse, the entire capital city will collapse! Your family’s lives are in your hands!”
Family.
It was a magic word more powerful than a buff. Soldiers with loving families transcended even death.
– Attack them! Go after those giant bastards!
The warriors ordered the wizards to focus their attacks on the giant. The magic academy’s professors also chanted magic and threw it like mad at the giants. However, it was not unusually difficult to break through the giants covered with protective shields.
Jihyeok wanted to run amok by using his source power, but he was a bit cautious about consuming energy from the start. … Because he had to save his strength for a bloody battle with the demon king later.
The giants grabbed the Demon King’s army with whatever they could get their hands on and began tossing them into the wall. Demonic spirits poured like rain over the capital.
Ah.
Raindrops fell onto the roofs of buildings and began slaughtering civilians. C, D-class warrior teams and mercenaries, who were preparing for an unexpected situation, moved quickly. Isn’t the team of warriors or mercenaries specializing in small-scale battles like this?
Demon kings often fell on top of the castle walls. There were ghouls, monsters, and crow soldiers. Of course, the crow soldiers who were unlucky enough to be caught and flew died as soon as their heads or bodies exploded as soon as they fell.
Those who fell on the wall were quickly dealt with by the guild and the team of warriors. Then some of the giants suddenly started running towards the wall.
– Attack them! Attack me so that I can’t approach you!!
The warriors screamed out loud, but it was actually not easy to block their charge. There were a few who were knocked down after being hit by magic, but most of them reached the vicinity of the castle wall.
They kicked off the floor and leaped with all their might, then clung to the edge of the wall with their hands and clung to it. If it were a normal city with low walls, the giants would have risen on top of the walls with a single leap.
– Stop it. Stop it from coming up!
However, the monsters dripping like rain continued to annoy the Capital Defense Forces. Meanwhile, the giants climbed up the wall one by one.
Jihyeok looked at Geralt as he cut and killed the giant hanging on the wall with his holy sword. Now, it looks like a real bloody battle is about to begin.
The giant disease was as powerful as the demon. Due to their intrusion, the top of the wall was cluttered, so the demon army under the wall was able to approach the wall more easily.
Soon the ladder reached, and the hook began to catch. The group of ghouls was spread like a rug under the wall and even acted as a buffer against falling monsters and crow soldiers.
While the water was rising in the middle of the war, the appearance of the demon king finally began to emerge from afar.
Giant King Kaisala. The guy had a stature and size that was twice as large as that of the giant soldier. The muscular body glistening over the red skin and the terrifying face were truly fear itself.
The two huge horns that rose above his head exuded the majesty of a demon king. He pointed an ax as huge as his torso toward the wall and shouted.
– Drill it. Give nightmares to lowly creatures!
At the cry of the Giant King, the rest of the Giant Soldiers rushed towards the wall. Kai Sala smiled approvingly at the charging men and soon began spinning his axe.
Jihyeok’s eyes widened when he saw that.
Is coming
The spinning ax flew toward the gate, and Jihyeok, as if waiting, jumped off the wall to block the flying axe.
ㅡㅡ!!
Jihyeok blocked the huge ax with the holy sword. … Of course, Jihyeok wasn’t the only one there. Hero Geralt also helped in cutting the axe.
The two warriors landed on the ground in front of the castle gate and exchanged glances. At the same time, a considerable number of demon kings attacked the two. They swung their swords without hesitation and slaughtered their enemies.
Soon, demons also approached to deal with the two. A powerful curse constricted his entire body, but it had no effect on Ji-hyeok, whose powerful dragon’s blood flowed. Geralt, who received the buff, was also free from the curse.
A oozing demon, a bat-like demon, a lizardman-like demon, a snake-like demon, a death knight… It was truly a feast of all kinds of demons.
However, in front of Geralt and Jihyeok’s sword, everyone died fairly. It’s impossible for a demon to pierce them both.
The Demon King seemed to know how strong the two were. Soon a huge giant thudded.
… Fuck it, it’s fucking big.
Jihyeok clicked his tongue as he looked at this gigantic demon king who could only see his head when he raised his head. In addition, the overbearing muscles, terrifying horns, and sharp thorns growing all over the body were worth arousing fear in those who saw it.
He picked up the fallen ax again and filled it with powerful demonic energy. And he stamped it right on the ground.
ㅡㅡㅡ!!!
An enormous shock wave exploded, and the gates and walls shook. As the stone dust scattered, the view was blocked for a moment.
“Is there any good way?”
“… Well. I don’t know anything other than a head-on collision.”
Jihyeok used a reckless expression. Then Geralt grinned and said a word.
“I just like that.”
While the two of them briefly confronted the demon king, a number of the demon king’s army had already climbed the wall. As expected, the giant soldier’s performance was so great that the battle situation quickly turned to the Demon King’s army. Since it was already a matter of defending the wall, the Capital Defense Forces retreated little by little and induced street fighting.
Since the walls had been breached, it was only a matter of time before the gates opened. Jihyeok gave Geralt a signal to step back. It was good to fight the demon lord and take time, but being surrounded by enemies was too disadvantageous.
“You have to step back at once.”
“… OK.”
Geralt loved battle, but he didn’t know the time or the place. Even if he doesn’t like it anyway, the opportunity will come.
The two of them pressed close to the gate to retreat, but before I could give an order, the door slammed open by itself. It was clear that the Demon King’s army had forcibly breached the door from inside.
They entered the capital while slaughtering the demon army that opened the gate. The capital had already turned into a hell of a sea of fire. Screams erupted from all directions, and the sound of weapons clashing echoed.
Geralt and Jihyeok soon joined the team. They slaughtered the enemy on sight and went deep into the capital.
Jihyeok blew the prepared horn loudly and summoned the team of warriors as much as possible. He was about to carry out the operation he had prepared.
Soon, ten warrior teams gathered at the promised place. The ten warriors gathered in one place made a desperate determination to punish the demon king Kaisala.
… The original scenario was to defeat as many demon kings as possible and bring them into the capital to separate the demon king and his men. That’s why the number of subordinates around the Demon King was higher than expected. In other words, it means that the probability of success is reduced by that much.
But now there was no other way. Whether he died here or they died, one of them was destined to end. So you must fight for your life.
The warrior team slowly withdrew and saw an opportunity. In the meantime, the devil’s men left the devil’s side one by one to hunt. The capital was being terribly attacked by the Demon King’s army, but the assembled team of warriors had no choice but to watch it. … We must pray that the rest of the Capital Defense Forces hold out well.
Because if it wasn’t for this time, there would be no chance to catch the demon king anymore.
It was an operation to catch the demon king, but the content was simple. The rest of the warriors clear the way for Jihyeok and Geralt to fight the demon directly.
The content is not much, but the situation was not so easy as expected. Even though his subordinates had left, a considerable number of giant soldiers and demons were circling around the Demon King. Moreover, if the demon king starts to attack, there is no way the demon king army around him will stay still.
“Let’s try it. … If you’re going to search this way or that, it’s better to fight and search.”
The belligerent A-class hero thumped his palms with his fists, reinforcing his fighting spirit. Thanks to that, even the low-ranking warriors relaxed a bit.
“Make sure to catch the Demon King. We will only trust you two.”
Jihyeok and Geralt nodded vigorously, telling them not to worry.
The warriors searched for a suitable place and placed themselves on the roofs of the surrounding buildings as if besieging them. And after a while, the demon king and his subordinates walked proudly to their destination.
At the same time, the operation began.
As if he knew, the Demon King smiled eerily and gripped his ax tightly.
– When did you rush? These insignificant creatures.
… Then, the battle for the fate of the capital began.
