250. Attack on the Saints (1)

Even after clearing the 55th floor, Amkena did not let go of her reins.

The attack on the 56th floor continued the next day. The protagonist of this section is our 1st party. I collected information about the 60th floor while clearing easy sub-stages consisting of subjugation and exploration.

‘The 60th floor will be a battle against the saints.’

The holy city of Delhive.

As a large city located at the southernmost tip of the Taoni continent, it was also the holy place of the largest religious group, ‘Tel Ikar’, which exerts influence throughout the empire. If only this place was occupied, the existence of the church that had been harassing the heroes for a long time would be cut off.

59th floor.

I contacted Yoshu and was able to obtain an overview of the basic Citadel Battles.

Among them, three were worth listening to.

First, Delhive itself was a fortress city capable of serving as a castle, and had defenses comparable to that of the imperial capital.

Second, in Delhive, all the powers of the Church, including the Saints and the Order of the Holy Knights, are gathered.

In addition, monsters are joining the church army, and the estimated number of troops is well over 10,000.

Strong fortress and numerous troops.

It was not an easy condition for the princess’s army, who had been able to defeat the church army without difficulty through defensive efforts until now.

The last leader of the Tel Icar cult, Irene, the blind saint, uses an unknown power.

I couldn’t have known this. You got hit directly on the 50th floor. Was it the left eye that ravaged the heavens and the right eye that ravaged the earth? Each skill and seal were the ability to seal the five senses. It was annoying.

‘Though it won’t work twice.’

As I mastered the Demonic Dragon Spirit, my abilities became incomparably higher.

In addition, we had a plan in place in case of an emergency.

If the saintess used the same move, she would have to prepare for death.

“It’s a joint operation with the Princess’ Army,” said

the strategy meeting room on the 4th floor of the waiting room.

Roderick murmured as he looked down at the map on the table.

He had retired as the director of the training center, but after Edith’s death, he returned to take over as the new engineering chief.

“The role we will play

is…” “Assaulting key points using airships.”

I pointed to the center of the map.

It depicts a circular city surrounded by five thick walls.

In the center of the city, there is a huge temple resembling a high-rise building.

It was a bird’s-eye view of the fortified city of Elhive.

“They say that the Princess’s army is in charge of the ground. When the mission begins, the Taonier raid penetrates the air defense network and infiltrates the inside of the castle walls. Then, they sweep them from the inside and induce chaos.”

I pointed my finger at the outskirts of the city wall.

Roderick, who was examining the map, looked up at me with a hard face.

“What are you guys going to do?”

“We have to move separately. We will go deeper.”

I touched the temple in the middle of the city with my hand.

“There must be a key member of the Church Army here. I plan to wipe it out.”

“…Okay.”

Roderick smiled bitterly.

“I never thought I’d be on the battlefield again. I don’t know if I’ll be able to do my part.”

To put it bluntly, this guy doesn’t quite fill Edith’s place.

I can only fill in a little bit. The Master will have to take care of her vacancy.

It’s past the time when people wave light sticks from behind, so I think it’s okay to look forward to it.

“Then let’s pass on the strategy to the other party leaders. Good job.”

“It was nothing.”

Roderick trudged out of the conference room.

Sitting in the swivel chair, I looked down at the map.

‘The mission start date is tomorrow.’

The current time is late at night.

Amkena had closed the connection after completing the final maintenance.

And I just finished my job too.

paper weave.

Dark red lightning bolted from his right hand.

As I clenched my fist, the lightning disappeared like crumbling.

Whenever I had time, I practiced with Halgion in the spirit world. The experience time is more than 1 year.

This power, which was unfamiliar at first, is now able to handle it as if it were mine.

“…Yournet.”

I muttered quietly.

The space in front of me was distorted, and the fog in the shape of a man rolled over.

[Yes Master.]

“How’s the investigation going?”

[This is the final stage. I think it will end if the Master returns from the 60th floor.]

“That’s fortunate. I thought it would take several years.”

[This is the master’s command. You can’t neglect it.]

Yurnet covered her mouth and laughed.

This guy was still investigating the El Cid Gun.

The El Cid case was not without doubt from start to finish.

There were too many doubts to let it be over.

[By the way, Master. He seems to have evolved the imprint.]

“That’s right.”

The shadow of Yurnet came to me.

[I always welcome the growth of Masters. However, this engraving does not seem to be a satisfactory condition. What is it like to reconsider?]

“Restoration? What to reconsider?”

[Why don’t you look for another engraving? The Master’s Dragon Soul is too risky to take if Taoneer collapses due to an unexpected accident. It’s like the master in the waiting room closes it.]

“I already signed a contract, so how can I change it? Does that make sense?”

[If the master orders it…]

“I won’t do it even if I say yes. I’ll do it all the way in Taone. Now, it’s the same with me.”

[But…]

“But and what. Don’t talk about this anymore. It’s my decision.”

Yurnet was silent.

I agreed to clear Taoneer’s mission in exchange for Halgion’s strength.

Even if the coercive power of the contract disappeared, he intended to keep it.

“Don’t worry. I can take care of myself. I can’t be fooled by you guys forever.”

[…Master.]

“I’ll call you back.”

The fog in front of my eyes dissipated.

‘I’m… different from him.’

A promise once made cannot be broken.

No matter what the ending is, go as far as you can go.

I grabbed the scabbard.

clap. Bifrost’s blade made a clicking sound as it rubbed against the scabbard.

evening the next day.

According to Amkena’s instructions, a party was created to attack the 60th floor.

The number of airships mobilized on the 60th floor is four. Three units were given to the 1st raid led by the 2nd party, and the remaining one belonged to the 1st party.

[※Caution!]

[This mission is a medium-sized mission that requires ten parties! If the number of party members is not enough, use paid summons or free summons to recruit heroes!]

[This mission is a special mission that requires airships! Gather resources and blueprints to build an airship!]

[Tips/ Group parties to form a raid.] [

Tips/ Combine airships to form a fleet.]

After the warning message pops up ,

[Open the spacetime Open!]

As Isel held out his hand, a huge mirror appeared in the dimensional rift.

[Climb the tower and save the world!]

[Main Dungeon: Current number of floors to climb – 59]

The sortie order had already been given.

A huge mirror began to glow.

The lead airship slowly rose into the air.

[The current number of challenging floors in the main dungeon is 60.]

[The door will open in 10 seconds. Get ready!]

[The mission is being recorded. Play records will be preserved.]

Lucette, in charge of the 1st party, started moving towards the mirror.

I leaned against the railing and held out my right hand.

“Isel.”

[Old text!]

Issel appeared, neatly dressed in a black suit.

Issel pushed up his black sunglasses with his fingertips and approached me.

[What would you like to give to the customer?]

“Something neat and heavy.”

[That’s right!]

Issel turned his right hand around.

Star dust bounced off and an object covered in white cloth appeared.

I touched an object.

‘This touch…’

“No. 137?”

[huh! It’s made of blackwood, and the inside is made of solid steel. Neat and heavy!]

“It’s a good choice.”

I smiled and returned the item to Isel.

Issel nodded to me and disappeared.

“what are you doing?”

Kishasha tilted her head.

Well, I won’t have withdrawal symptoms until I break the 60th floor with this.

“Leave it alone. Warhorse energy charge or something.”

“War horse energy?”

You look at people with strange eyes.

It’s just a diversion before the mission.

I crossed my arms and looked ahead.

The light from the mirror was engulfing the Lucette.

[Warning!]

[Warning!]

[Warning!]

Before the light faded, a warning about the high difficulty surfaced.

Triple warning message. This meant that it could not be passed as easily as on the 55th floor.

Then, a target window popped up.

[Floor 60.]

[Mission Type – Siege]

[Mission Objective – Attack the Holy City ‘Elhive’!]

A cold wind brushed my cheeks.

I narrowed my eyes. The Lucette stood still a few hundred meters in the air.

A panoramic view of a huge city was reflected across the bright sky.

‘That’s Elhive.’

Starting from the huge temple in the middle of the city, the high and thick walls droop in layers.

Countless soldiers swarmed above it.

[Order Army Soldier Lv.???] X 7615

[Order Army Knight Lv.???] X 2174

[Contaminated Monster Corps Lv.???] X 3739 [

Order Army….]

It seems that Yoshu’s words that they were all gathered were not lies.

[…That’s a lot.]

I heard Roderick’s sigh.

“A lot of it is the same for us.”

I looked down as I answered the communication.

[Human Mercenary Lv

.

They were charging towards the fortress, each holding a mercenary flag.

After that, various siege weapons including ladder trucks and catapults were on the move.

[A battle is taking place between the two master forces.]

[Help the ‘Princess Army’ to annihilate the ‘Order Army’. Please restore peace to Taoni!]

A red arrow was drawn in the sky.

Amkena was forming a tactical formation.

[…Han.]

A familiar voice in my ear.

It was Freea. It seems that after finding us, they sent out magic communications.

I laughed and murmured.

“Shouldn’t we protect our lives?”

[I see. After the battle is over.]

I cut off the communication and looked ahead.

Except for the Lucette, the airships were advancing in the direction of the fort.

It seemed that he was faithfully carrying out Amkena’s instructions.

“Shall we go too?”

Jenna looked at me and said.

I shook my head.

“You guys go first.”

“Yes? And why?”

“It looks like this side needs people too.”

I moved my gaze near the castle gate.

[Contaminated Black Knight Lv. 71] X 13

Black knights wearing black plate armor and holding great swords were slaughtering mercenaries indiscriminately.

It was only ten years old, but because of them, the speed of advance was more than doubled.

“Can’t you just ignore it? It will be pierced anyway.”

“If you want to use it again later, you should reduce the number of victims as much as possible. Let’s meet in front of the temple.”

I put my feet up on the railing.

“Wait a minute, this is high in the sky…”

I threw myself out of the airship.

Immediately, a fierce wind blew my whole body.

‘The distance to the ground is… 200m. Is it about?’ The landscape of

the plain

gradually

began to expand.

”

Halgion.

”

I

stepped on

the ground without even being shocked. ”

What

is that monster!

”

The ground was dyed red.

‘It doesn’t seem like a match.’

They screamed and swung their greatswords in the middle of the plain.

There were already close to a hundred corpses around the black knights.

“You, what are you?! How in the sky…”

“Get out of the way.”

I pushed the man who stood in my way and

passed by .

[Brother.]

“Yoshu?

” Those guys are…?”

[They’re the elite soldiers of the Order Army I mentioned. Thanks to that, the advance has slowed down a lot.]

I see.

They’re wielding a greatsword weighing well over 100kg like a tree branch.

Normal human power can’t stop it. Impossible.

Smashed armor and weapons, fragments of human flesh were scattered on the floor.

[Uhhhhh…]

The black knight met my eyes and came this way.

[You are… the dog of the goddess… ]

“Goddess dog?”

[Traitor… Traitoraaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!] Whoa

!

He swung the greatsword down.

[Something like a worm.]

Halgion muttered in a cold voice.

I raised my right hand . Raised.

Crackling!

Black and red lightning wrapped around the body of the black knight.

At that moment, I grabbed my hand.

‘Compress.’

Kwajik!

Blood and flesh splattered. As soon as

he

fully clenched his fist, the black knight fell to the ground like a

ball

.

I kicked my feet momentarily and lightly touched the black knights who were running towards me.

[Treachery…] Then

I

put my hand down.

Kwajik!

Twelve black knights pressed together as if they were being crushed by a large press. and clung to the ground.
