Episode 422 Let's Use the Most Powerful Power (2)

The fog was so thin that it was not hard to see ahead.

But that blue fog gave off a very ominous vibe.

The soldiers who entered the crack area swallowed dry saliva and had tense expressions.

"Is this an eroded area?"

"It's horrible to even look at."

"Aren't there a lot of monsters here?"

The empty land was gray. The trees and grass around it were all dried up and withered, and there was no sign of life at all.

A land of blue fog and gray earth, where all life except monsters is dead.

This is what the area eroded by the crack looked like.

The crack had already taken up a huge area. There must be a crack somewhere in this area.

When everyone was wondering how to proceed, Jiselle raised her hand and said.

"Assemble the catapults and prepare the balloons."

As soon as the words were out, the engineers moved and assembled the catapult.

First, 200 medium-sized Galvanium catapults were built for the Fenris Army. Soon after, 100 regular catapults were completed, brought from each territory and Fenris.

At the same time, a hundred hot air balloons carrying wizards rose into the sky.

"All troops, get into formation."

Although the enemy was not yet in sight, the soldiers moved in unison as ordered.

Fenris' heavy infantry, clad in galvanized armour and shields, lined up to block the path.

The infantry stood behind the heavy infantry, holding spears. Behind them stood the archers, holding bows. The cavalry and horse archers stood on either side.

They waited in formation, still like that.

'Where are you hitting?'

'Can I just wait here?'

'Didn't you say it was about the size of a small estate?'

The soldiers were as curious as they were nervous. They had to find and kill all the monsters, whether they were gathered together or spread out, but they were just waiting in one place.

How long had they been standing like that? The soldiers heard faint cries again.

- Kaaaaang!

The soldiers could not tell whether it was the cries of a monster or of the Crackers.

I could only guess that the cries of Equidema, which were so far away, could not possibly be heard here.

After some more time passed, the sound of something running busily was heard.

Dada dadada dada!

'Coming!'

The soldiers instinctively knew that a large number of Crackers were rushing towards this place right now.

Ddddddddddd!

As the number increased, the ground shaking also became louder.

Jiselle, who was at the very front, dismounted from her horse and raised her greatsword. The attendants and knights next to her did the same.

When Jiselle tapped the Black King, the Black King groaned a few times and then retreated to the back of the formation. He looked as if he was not pleased with something.

By the time the knights' horses had all moved back, a sound could be heard coming from nearby.

Ddddddddddd!

Kaaaah!

Although they couldn't be seen, the number of them was clearly felt just by the howls of the Crackers.

Jiselle said, holding out her hand.

"Shoot."

"Shoot!"

The soldiers didn't see any crackheads yet, but it didn't matter. They would shoot if Jiselle told them to.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Stones were hurled from hundreds of catapults.

At the same time, the arrows of the archers and cavalrymen flew, blackening the sky.

Phaaaat!

"Kaaaaaaah!"

The painful screams of the Crackers could be heard from all directions. This meant that the attack was working.

The northern army continued to attack without rest. The sound of stones falling and arrows flying could be heard constantly.

And after a little more time passed.

"Kaaaaaaah!"

A huge number of Crackers were seen running through the blue fog.

Kuung!

Jiselle shouted as she struck the ground with her greatsword.

"Attack the rear without stopping! There are over 100,000 of these guys! Knights, follow me!"

Jiselle had no intention of just commanding from behind the heavy infantry. The heavy infantry were simply standing in front to protect the other soldiers.

"Get ready!"

As the Crackers drew close enough to be seen, Jiselle infused her greatsword with mana.

Clank! Clank! Clank!

The knights also raised their greatswords. Gillian alone wielded a massive two-handed axe.

As the Crackers finally came within a few steps.

"let's go!"

Jiselle shouted loudly, stepped forward, and swung her greatsword.

Kwaaaaang!

In an instant, dozens of crackers burst out. As the knights' attacks continued, hundreds of crackers disappeared in an instant.

But there were so many crackheads rushing in.

Thud! Thud! Thud!

Hundreds of Crackers were instantly attached to the shields of the heavy infantry. In the blink of an eye, the number swelled to thousands.

"Stop it!"

"Hang in there!"

"Come on, attack!"

The spearmen thrust their spears diligently between the heavy infantry.

These are crackers with great strength and speed, but their defenses are no different from those of ordinary people. Every time they exchanged attacks, hundreds of them died.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Jiselle and the knights blocked the way and continuously swept away the crackers, but it was endless.

It was so bad that some knights were pushed over and crushed by the tidal wave of cracks that came crashing down on them.

As a huge number of them suddenly came rushing in, everyone started to fall back. It was inevitable since they hadn't prepared a fortress like they had when they fought Greggs.

This is why in the previous life, many territories were taken away and people lived only in fortified cities.

'We need to get rid of it as soon as possible.'

Jiselle gritted her teeth and swung her sword.

Compared to my previous life, this is a small amount. I had to deal with the Equidemas before they grew to 500,000 or 1 million.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

No matter how many times I killed them, there was no end to it. There was no other way since there were over 100,000 of them. I could kill them all, but if the casualties among my soldiers were great, I would be pushed back in the fight against the other rifts.

As the formation began to be pushed back little by little, a sacred hymn began to resonate behind the formation and bright light began to seep into people's bodies.

As many as 120 priests began to protect people with their divine powers.

"Kaaaaaaah!"

As the divine light spread across the front line, the Crackers were distressed by this alone. The divine power was an opposing energy to them.

Cheeeeek!

The bodies of those who were directly touched by the divine power were burned.

Kuuuung!

On the other hand, the soldiers in the front who had regained their strength through divine power stretched their shields forward with great force. The knights also swung their swords with more force as their bodies were filled with vitality.

The crackers who had rushed to the front of the display began to be pushed back again.

That wasn't the end of it.

The wizards stepped forward to protect the relatively vulnerable Yang Wing.

"Fire wall."

Vanessa, riding in a hot air balloon, created a huge wall of fire on both sides of the formation.

Cheeeeeeek!

"Kaaaaaaah!"

The crackers that had been rushing in at an incredible scale and speed from both sides of the formation were burned and rolled around as soon as they reached the giant wall of fire created by the 7th Circle wizard.

But because there were so many of them, some survived and ran away.

"Chain Lightning."

Kwajik!

Those guys were hit by lightning magic and turned to ash on the spot. It was the magic used when dealing with the Grex.

Kwakwakakakakak!

Even without using the Rune Stone, Vanessa, who reached Circle 7, fried thousands of Crackers in one breath.

Still, tens of thousands of Crackers were rushing in from both sides of the formation.

Vanessa frowned. She couldn't use all her magic power here and now.

I had already planned out a strategy to deal with Equidema, but I was afraid that it might fail. I had to conserve my magic power in case that happened.

Now it was time for other wizards to step forward.

She looked back at the other balloons and shouted loudly.

"Lord Alpoy!"

Alfoy, who had finally taken the position of Vice-Director of the Fenris Magical Institute after much bickering, shouted loudly.

"All of you, don't hold back on your magic power and pour it out! The monsters will be caught by others anyway! Hurry up and do it, you little punks! Is war a joke? Do you think your life in the territory will end if you do it carelessly?"

He was definitely better at attracting people than Vanessa.

This time, the two 6th circle wizards and five 5th circle wizards who had become slaves bit their lips.

'Ah, that shameless kid.'

'Are you some kind of magic king?'

'How did I end up under that kind of guy… … .'

The unwritten rule among wizards that the Circle is a gangster does not apply in this domain. In the Fenris domain, the oldest member is the one in charge.

That in itself can be understood as the culture of the realm. The problem is that he has no respect for the higher circles.

Although their hearts were seething, they could not stand to talk back to their 'superiors', so the wizards swallowed their anger and followed Alfoy's words.

At Alfoy's command, a great amount of magic poured out from the hot air balloon.

"Fire pillar!"

"Aqua Ball!"

"Earthquake!"

Paaaaang! Gurrrrung! Kwaaaaang!

A tremendous amount of magic poured out onto the Crackers.

Excluding Vanessa, there are two 6th circle magicians and six 5th circle magicians in total. There are also about 200 circle magicians below them.

Kaaaaaaah!

Every time a great magic was unleashed, the Crackers were swept away in large numbers.

Hundreds of catapults, tens of thousands of arrows, and hundreds of spells were scattered across the battlefield.

The number of Crackers, which had exceeded 100,000 due to the overwhelming attack, began to decrease in an instant.

The crackers who had approached the front line were also beaten by the knights and died.

"Attack without stopping!"

Jiselle's scream echoed loudly throughout the battlefield.

It's still doable. I need to kill as many Rift Equidemas as possible and stop the expansion before other monsters, especially flying monsters, come out.

"Wow!"

The soldiers gave a loud shout.

It's hard work, but there's little damage. I'm beating down those large numbers of crackers as they come.

The fighting parties' morale naturally rose greatly due to the unbelievable results.

Kwaaaaang! Kwaaaaang! Kwaaaaang!

The Crackers were unafraid of the overwhelming power of the Northern Army and continued to swarm without end.

The soldiers were also in a state of trance and simply continued to do as they were told.

After half a day of indiscriminate slaughter, the battle that seemed like it would never end gradually came to an end.

The thousands of stones brought by the 80,000-strong army were all blown away. Hundreds of thousands of arrows were fired. The 200 or so magicians were exhausted and exhausted.

By then, the running crackers were barely visible.

Kaaaaah… … .

Even if they did come, there were only a few dozen that had joined from far away. They were no threat at all.

All of the enormous number of crack people living here have been dealt with.

But the battle was not over. Jiselle shouted as she climbed onto the Black King.

"I'm going to catch Equidema right away!"

Clank! Clank! Clank!

Jiselle's entourage and knights immediately mounted their horses. The 10,000-strong mobile force, which had been relatively sparing its strength, tightly gripped the reins.

Several priests and magicians, including Piote, also mounted their horses.

Heeeeeeling!

"The rest of you, stand in formation here and wait!"

"All right!"

The soldiers answered loudly. The Fenris commanders, including the troubleshooter Max and the elf Lumina, would be commanding the northern army.

"let's go!"

Jiselle dashed forward through the blue fog, her entourage and mobile forces following close behind.

Doo doo doo doo doo doo!

We encountered more crackheads rushing in midway, but there were only a few dozen to a hundred of them.

Kwajijijik!

The Fenris army easily trampled the oncoming Crackers and headed towards Equidema.

After running nonstop for a long time, I was finally able to reach the location where the crack had opened.

Krrrrrr… … .

Equidema lay on the gray ground. It began to bare its teeth at the sight of the intruders.

Kaaaaah!

A few crackers continued to come out of the crack. However, they did not come out in the hundreds like they did the first time.

This is because Equidema also needs time to accumulate energy to invade this world.

Kuuung!

The monster raised its huge body.

Equidema already knew that there were invaders in her territory. She sent all her rifters to attack, but she knew that they had failed.

The beast had no choice but to release the power it had been storing up.

Kaaaaah!

Heeeeeeling!

At the sound of Equidema's cry, the horses fell over, foaming at the mouth. Even the strong horses that had been running through the battlefield could not withstand the blow.

Only the Black King tried to run forward while grumbling. It seemed that only those as crazy as the Black King could be fearless.

Jiselle, her entourage, and all the troops dismounted and took up their weapons.

"Kaaaah!"

A few crackers rushed in. Of course, they were killed by the knights blocking their way as soon as they jumped out.

Now, if we just kill Equidema, this place will be safe for the time being.

"Is everyone ready?"

Everyone nodded to Jiselle's words. With this number of people, they would definitely be able to kill Equidema.

Jiselle killed Equidema on her own. Although she was badly injured and barely managed to kill him, Jiselle is no longer alone.

Gillian, Kaor, Tennant, Vanessa, Belinda and other strong figures are with them, and the 10,000-strong Fenris Mobile Force is waiting behind them.

The problem was that everyone was pretty tired from dealing with so many crackers. They were trying to save their strength, but it was dangerous to deal with a superhuman monster. If they made a mistake, someone could die.

Jiselle chuckled.

"We're all tired, so there's no need to go through all this trouble. Let's use the strongest power of our territory. Alpoy, are you ready?"

Alpoy nodded.

"It's time to use that ultimate weapon."

Everyone looked at Giselle and Alpoy, because they had no idea what the two were talking about.

'It seems like there's some kind of operation we don't know about... ... .'

'The strongest power? The ultimate weapon?'

Anyone who would think that would fit those words would be Giselle. But it was as if he was talking about someone else.

Belinda, who had been tilting her head, suddenly remembered something and exclaimed in wonder.

"Oh, really?"

There is one who can display powers close to the power of a god, although the conditions for using the power are strict and the time is very short.

Surely, for a little while, he will be stronger than Giselle.

Everyone turned around to follow her as she turned around. At the same time, Alpoy strode towards someone.

In the direction he is heading… … .

There stood Piote, blinking his eyes with an innocent expression.
