It was a quiet dawn. A new day was beginning, as the gleaming starlight faded overnight in a steadily rising dawn. Soon, soldiers walked out of the barracks along with the weather trumpets, and the fortress began to vibrate with the smell of baking bread.

Crete Fortress was very peaceful on the surface.

But I was definitely in the middle of a battle right now. Yesterday, two days of air strikes killed tens of thousands of reel spiders coming here to the fortress, and the pilots are still on their way out for the morning dew.

As I was heading south of the fortress, I looked up at the sky and recited it alone.

“I hope you have a good day. ”

Bayan replied as if he had won.

“It'll be good. Jorge's early spring weather is very dry. ”

I had a taste for it.

“Tsk. You mean bad. ”

“Yes?”

“It's actually a nice rainy day. When it rains, it pours. ”

Few of your weapons were affected by the rain. Magic power allows me to use the Magic Beacon Gun launcher, and Jorgan's fire never dies out in the water.

Whereas when it rains, the whole earth turns into a muddy heap. A hellish environment unfolds for reel spiders moving to sharp legs like an awl. It's gonna be hard to move because your feet are falling off.

And when the ground was wet with rain, the effect of firing an electric shotgun was very good, as well as the flame of Yosgant spread even more as it poured water.

Of course, it doesn't matter if you can't use Lauren's poison. The objective of using Lauren's poison is to prevent reel spiders from moving, which can be solved more effectively by mud pits.

Do you want to get some gas? Oh, no, thank you. ’

I immediately gave up the momentary reminiscence. Honestly, even if I'm a god, I don't grant my wishes. Because I'm an evil incarnate in their shoes.

It was better not to ask for climate help, since this battle is also a test of its nature for an era of destruction. Not all horses are as heavily affected by the climate as Reel Spider.

“Huh?"

As I went up, there was a guest waiting for me to come first. It was Princess Sierra. She gave me a clear look even when I came. She silently stared at the southern skies.

A long time later, Princess Sierra opened her mouth.

“Do I still have to be in the back today? ”

“Yes.”

“Why is that?”

“Healing wounded is also important. ”

Princess Sierra narrows her eyes.

“I noticed there weren't many casualties in the last battle. ”

“I just got lucky. ”

“I heard the other commanders say no. I hear you've already taken out a lot of the reel spiders coming this way. ”

“But most of them are still alive and coming this way. ”

“Wouldn't it be better to be with me? My Vermont can help you, right? ”

I looked at Princess Sierra with curious eyes. Unexpectedly stubborn. Of course, I've complained about handling it outside the power grid, but unlike other times, it won't budge.

That can't be right. This woman lives with her pride and dies with her pride. I almost gave the toast to the whole Katrina party before, but I couldn't have hung it up like this.

Then there was only one reason. Something about home country.

“Why? Do you want to know about support in this battle in Kern Kingdom? ”

Princess Sierra's eyes tremble slightly. It was the right shape.

This battle, in addition to the previous wars of Kara and Robos, was a great event that would change the history of mankind beyond the history of human warfare. Dependency was the first open war.

That's why Princess Sierra was the only one who could find out more about this battle as well as Kern.

“How did you know? ”

“Because I'm talking about you. Well, if a small country like Kern is going to survive, it's going to have to be quick. I told that little ruffian he was a tough little prick. ”

Princess Sierra's face crumpled. It was clear that Kern Kingdom was a weak kingdom, but I felt bad enough hearing it from someone else.

“You!”

I backed my ear to her shouting.

“Don't sweat it. I just told him the truth. ”

“But people have things to say, things they don't have. ”

“Yes. Reflection. ”

Princess Sierra looked stunning in my crazy words.

“I beg your pardon?”

“Just to be clear, you don't have to do that first. A woman who speaks all sorts of thorns to someone, you can't be offended because she heard something from me. ”

“Yes?”

“It's simple. It's deep inside that I'm very upset with you. ”

“What the hell did I tell you? ”

In short, he told me to go out and die. It was a little rhetorical and justifiable, but that was the Zilta I heard when I visited Princess Sierra at the time of destruction.

And that Zilta kept me alive for a long time. At that time, I made a pact to outlive her. And I ended up protecting it.

“Well, I don't remember much. I'm so overheard. I just forget about the conversation and leave my emotions out of it. ”

“Is it because of what you said in the Sacred Hall? ”

“Did you do it then? Oh, she must be the one with the thorns in her mouth. ”

Princess Sierra's face flutters.

“You people are so rude. ”

I waved my hand.

“Go to Katrina. Don't bother scratching in front of me. When I get angry, I don't cover the fire, so I get hurt a lot when I'm around. ”

“So what are you going to do? Are you gonna hurt me? ”

I stared at Princess Sierra with young eyes. This woman is too proud to kill me because she's a saint. But I'm the one who claims equality about life. I don't give a damn about the title of the Grand Daughter.

“Let's start with Kern Kingdom, shall we? And then you kill the king and queen, blow the heads off all the royals, kill all the priests, kill all your closest friends and all the acquaintances you know, and then you shut the hell up? ”

“Well, well, well. ”

“Kern is a kingdom with many enemies. · · · · · How the narrow piece of land is bordered by four nations, one kingdom and one territory. Besides, you don't have to put me on hold, do you? Isn't that right?”

“ · · · · · ·. ”

“Hey, go. If you don't want to be embarrassed. ”

Princess Sierra clammed her mouth and went down like she was running from the castle. Looks like we're just getting to the topic.

Bayan, who was listening to us quietly next to him, went out with a sad expression.

“Sir, are you sure you're okay? ”

I struck Bayan on the head with the yojo's blade.

“Hey, what if you can't even figure out the topic? My kingdom of Kara is a great nation now. ”

“But she's the goddess of the earth. ”

I provoked Bayan.

“Our kingdom of Kara was in peril in the last war because of the Daughter of the Earth. ”

“Yes?”

“When the former Kingdom of Robos attacked our kingdom of Kara, I carried her on my back. That's why Shura's breath didn't work. Otherwise, we could have ended the war in peace. ”

“Ahh · · · · · · · · · · ·. ”

“You, write it down and make it right. Our kingdom of Kara has formed a hostile relationship with the Mother Earth since the last war. ”

“Yes.”

I stood in front of Yedam with Bayan. Victim argued with Princess Shanghai Sierra, but the important fight is now on. A bait team is on its way with hundreds of thousands of reel spiders.

* * *

“Here they come! ”

A large group of reel spiders reveal themselves on the southern plains of Crete Fortress. The bait troops rush towards the fortress, and the cavalry waiting in front of the pile of Lauren's Poisonous Herb set fire to the decoys and retreated from the fortress entirely as soon as the cavalry passed by.

Soon after the yellow poison spread, the soldiers were excited. It was a sign that the battle had begun.

“Wait!”

Some reel spiders have crossed the poison zone and approached Fort Crete. But all the weapons were silent. It's not the right time yet. Soon after a large number of reel spiders approached the moat, a deadly magical grenade launcher ignited a spark.

Duke Fabious has spoken to me.

“Why don't you fire a shotgun? You want to chase him down? ”

“Oh. Now, if you fire a shotgun, it's less efficient. ”

“Are you sure? A lot of people cross the monolith, too. ”

“It doesn't matter.”

“Why?”

“You'll see. ”

As more reel spiders are gathering in front of the moat, they begin to spit out giant electric fields around the walls.

Soon before the keep, a turbulent explosion erupts and reel spider hordes burst into flames.

Kiehek! Kiehek!

Duke Fabious narrows his eyes as reel spiders roar from all sides.

“What is this weapon? ”

“Magic Ball Launcher. ”

The Magic Ball Launcher was a weapon that launched a Class 3 explosive Magic Ball. Compared to Magic Grenade launchers, Mana is quite inefficient, but I made it because it can blow up nearby hordes of magical objects at once.

“When did you invent it? ”

“Recently. When I came up with the concept of the last Fort Lar rescue operation, I asked him to develop it. ”

“You've developed it quickly. ”

“It's a test version. That's why you can only shoot through a power grid. ”

Duke Fabious stares at you in horror.

“What about the reliability of the weapon? If it's a new weapon, we should test it out and go into battle. ”

“That's why I'm testing it. ”

“Backbone. Do you see this battle as a test? ”

“Yes.”

I shrugged my head. In fact, this battle with Reel Spider was a test ground for new weapons in the age of destruction.

Of course, when they came, they rushed because of the lives of their men and their concerns about the island of Jores, but the story changed after the last battle.

No matter how big a horde of horseshoes are, they tumble down like a swarm of fireflies in front of a huge fire. Perhaps this will be humanity's hope to live in the age of destruction in the future, so we should check this opportunity carefully.

Duke Fabious shakes his head.

“Anyway, I don't know what's inside of you. ”

When the time was right, I gave the order to fire the weapons. Soon after that, we fired a cannon at Crete Fortress, and this became a signal that even the Harbor of Hadita and Qasim's charred fleets started firing.

As black clouds of flying shotguns and cannonballs strike within the poison, load-bearing floats of gravel pour out from the sky.

Soon after the poison disappeared, I was able to see the bodies of Reel Spider lying endlessly on the log.

But it wasn't the end. Since then, a much larger group of reel spiders have been approaching Fort Crete upside down.

“Keep firing! ”

The range of artillery shells was getting narrower. The current number of camouflages was difficult to deal with, perhaps, hundreds of thousands of reel spiders.

But this was not the only scarf.

I shot Jorgan's fire as a group of reel spiders came over the moat and turned the wall completely into fire.

‘Come if you will. I'll burn you all to the ground. ’

The fire blazes all around you, and the smoky smoke rises tremendously. Soldiers continue to shoot magic grenade launchers and bows, even as a group of reel spiders fill the plains.

There aren't many reel spiders climbing the walls, no matter how many. The majority of reel spiders over the moat die in vain in the fire.

At that moment, a floater flies through the air and hurls a massive stone. Stone-shooting float. Soon after a huge, spherical rock reached 300 kg, it swept through the earth at a rate of hundreds of kilometers an hour, and all the reel spiders inside were blown away and died.

‘Good.’

I have expressed deep satisfaction with the stone landing support. Dozens of hundreds die in a single giant stone. I was holding 6 stones of 300 kg per person, so if I dropped them well in a dense place, I could fly close to 1,000 stones.

Moreover, there are currently three stone launchers. Immediately, the stone was poured out in succession, and the fortress was turned into blood.

Whoo-hoo!

Subsequently, the iron-fired floaters flew in and shot hundreds of long, sharp irons to the ground. Strange trajectories of steel pierce Reel Spider's torso and dig deep into the ground, causing strange noises.

‘This is good, too. I'll go straight to the goal if I get hit by guys like Fraker. ’

Ironclad stimulus was not very efficient for genocide. This is because more than 200 iron bars couldn't do much damage to a group of reel spiders.

But I expressed my satisfaction by looking at the iron in the ground to the root.

Iron Fire Supporting was a weapon used to catch powerful land magical objects. In particular, you don't have to catch a lot of common magic.

What I want is a strong penetration. The Iron Throwing Supporters clearly showed me their power this time.

‘It seems possible. ’

I was able to hope for a fight today. Hundreds of thousands of magic have fallen in vain before the power of man. Despite the endless flood of magic in the Age of Destruction, it seemed that if the firepower was as strong as today, a normal amount of magic could be contained.

Then the remaining challenges were production power to produce combat supplies and transportation power to the front. And I was doing this now, too.

There was widespread spinning and inexpensive manufacturing of textiles, and automated machinery was producing new weapons with speed and precision. And railroads were being installed all over the world, and Kara was producing magical trucks and horsepower cars.

If these systems are well equipped, humanity will be able to withstand the age of destruction for quite some time.

Then there's only one problem left. Powerful magic like Sky Despair. These guys don't have much use for weapons now.

Of course, that's why we developed iron-fired stimulus, but this option alone is lacking. I needed to come up with more options.
