Chapter 297 – Chapter 72. Showdown.
The sun rises.
The round and handsome sun rose, blazing the horizon.
Even those who like to sleep welcomed today’s morning sun with a reverent heart without any complaints or complaints.
Gide sat at the head of his table with a grimace on his face. He ate his allotted meal and shoved half of his emergency rations into his mouth while exclaiming.
“Cypal, why are you so hungry today?”
The bald man ate all the snacks and patted his strong stomach. Not only Gide, but most of the expedition ate so generously. Even if I die, I have to eat my fill and die.
After clearing the camp, the expeditionary force moved forward with weapons. The atmosphere was completely different from the previous breakfast. Bathed in the sunlight dripping down from the rising sun, they walked without stopping.
As the wind blew, the unripe green ears shook their heads and formed grain. The beauty of Mother Nature, which was usually invisible, touched the hearts of the expedition team today.
If I were to return alive, I would go on an outing with my family.
They firmly ate such a heart and raised their aspirations for life more earnestly. … But where is life and death determined by one’s own will?
Team Jihyeok also showed anxiety on their faces even though they didn’t say anything. He constantly gave encouragement by circling among his teammates from time to time during breaks. … However, no matter how much encouragement he gave, he could not completely get rid of the fear of death that coiled in the deepest part of his heart. Because it is the instinct of living things that yearn for survival.
The expedition went ahead and stopped repeatedly. Death hung over the vast plains bathed in the bright sunlight.
Magi, and Curse.
The expedition came to an abrupt halt. It was because the expeditionary force, which was advancing in the front row, complained of pain.
Curse… , And it was in line with the meaning of entering the enemy’s territory.
Commander Princess Ganesha ordered buffs from the buff magicians. A large amount of buffs shattered over the head of the expedition and permeated everyone’s body. Only then did the expedition escape from the pain of the curse.
However, although the buff could control the physical part, it could not handle the mental part. Gradually, those who complained of suffering, those who went crazy with fear, and those who had seizures began to appear one after another. However, the expedition was not in a position to move while caring about those people. If we couldn’t move forward together, we had no choice but to be left alone.
The expedition team had so much poison. For yourself, for your family, and for the continent.
Clearly, the sky that had been shining brightly just before had slowly begun to darken. Uh, uh- Those who had not experienced the barriers of the devil were shocked and confused and did not know what to do.
“Don’t be surprised. It’s the devil’s barrier. You don’t have to be afraid!”
Princess Ganesha shouted so loudly with her voice. The warrior team also quickly calmed down the soldiers in the area they were in charge of. The disturbance soon subsided. However, fear was clearly engraved on the face of the expedition.
“Reveal-!”
As the cries for illumination broke out, the magician’s spheres of light floated up in all directions. It again illuminated the surroundings as bright as day.
The expeditionary force advanced towards the enemy again. Before everyone even gave an order, they were nervous and prepared for battle.
Jihyeok snapped his neck, feeling this thick magi crushing his body. … It was really strong. In the 14th episode, when he first met the Great Demon King, he hadn’t felt the devil’s spirit so vividly, but this time he got to know his true nature. He seems to see as much as he knows.
After walking for a while, the enemies finally started to come into sight. The group of demons were already ready for battle, waiting for them to come.
The number of enemies was staggering. There was an enormous number of corpses made of ghouls. … First of all, the activity of the wizards seemed necessary.
Frightened, some soldiers collapsed or collapsed on the ground as their legs gave out. Sometimes there were people who went mad because they didn’t want to fight. Such people were quickly pulled back and thoroughly excluded. There were no buffs to give to those who wouldn’t even fight, so sooner or later the buffs would run out and be cursed and die. You might think it’s heartless, but once you entered the devil’s barrier, there was nothing you could do other than that. I’m busy applying buffs to those who fight courageously, but I can’t waste buffs to save those who succumb to fear.
In any case, the expedition continued to move forward. And after not leaving a certain distance from the demon army, he stopped and prepared for battle with a spear knife.
An eerily still silence fell between the two. The soldiers gasped for breath as their arms gripped their weapons.
The commander, Princess Ganesha, took the blue-edged ax and stepped forward. And after she looked back at the expedition, she raised her ax and shouted at her throat.
“For the sake of the continent!”
Aaaaa
The expedition corps screamed and screamed to overcome fear. The effect was clear. While screaming, the mana emitted by the expedition slightly pushed away the demons, albeit for a moment.
Jihyeok also made eye contact with his teammates who had gathered together and gave their last cheer.
“I am proud of all of you who have come this far. And thank you. Thank you for following this foolish and headstrong general. … If it’s for you guys, I’m not wasting my life.”
Hehe-. Everyone showed an embarrassed smile. Unexpectedly, Gide, who has a weak heart for this kind of thing, glanced at his nose and slightly blushed his eyes.
“Thank you for being our captain, Captain. The captain is the eternal captain. Had I been a woman, I would have followed the captain. Oh, and of course you need a fairy wife.”
Everyone made a soundless laugh.
Jihyeok stood shoulder to shoulder with his teammates. They met each other’s eyes and burned their final fighting spirit.
“Everyone, show off your skills. Not to regret. I’m showing you everything I’ve been through so far. Everything.”
“… Yes, Captain—!”
“I am always in front of you. So don’t worry. If you can’t cross me, you won’t reach you. Let’s go. … See you all alive.”
“I understand—!!”
Everyone shouted loudly. Such calls continued everywhere. It was spirit and courage that demons who faithfully fulfilled orders could not have.
Jihyeok, a thorough rationalist, desperately hoped for a miracle at this time.
Please, win the war.
… And may all be well.
Booooo.
The sound of horns filled the battlefield. The expedition re-established itself. The twenty-two members of the death squad, including Jihyeok, planned to quickly join at the signal after the battle. Perhaps the twenty-two would never be able to fully meet. Someone might die along the way, or you might never be able to join. Everyone had that possibility in mind.
Boo boo woo woo.
At the sound of the horn that spread long again, the expeditionary force began to move forward in an orderly manner. And when they got really close, the expedition stopped advancing again.
Soon after, the archer pulled the string, and the wizard began to gather mana. Enemies also slowly prepared to attack.
From now on, each warrior team commanded soldiers by district. Their numbers and area were too vast for a commander alone to issue orders. It has already been proven through several wars that it is much more effective to make individual judgments like this.
– Launch aaaaa!!!
Arrows and magic soared into the sky at once. It flew and fell and attacked the Demon Realm’s army. However, there was no way they could just stand still under the attack. A strong shield blocked arrows and magic.
Of course, the expedition didn’t expect a big effect from this attack, so they weren’t shocked that it was blocked. This was like a declaration of war to kill you guys.
Arrows and magic rained down two or three more times after that. But, as expected, it had no effect. Ganesha gave the signal to stop and snapped his neck from side to side.
She slammed the ground with her ax and let out a savage scream.
– Wowaaaaa!!!
Then, with her axe, she chopped off the back of her braided hair and threw it away at random. With her hair bobbed in an instant, she looked back at the expedition with beastly eyes.
Uh uh uh uh
A rough breath escaped from his jaw. She raised her ax and shouted.
“Everybody turn around uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh !!!”
The charge order was given. The expeditionary force began to run like a tide towards the army of the Demon Realm, shouting whoaaah.
… And soon the two armies collided violently in the middle.
Screams and plosives began to spread in all directions.
Finally, the battle for the fate of the continent began in earnest.
