I'm a max level newbie - episode 216
216fury. New power & middle class balance (1)
'I didn't know these guys would move at this time.…….'
Jinhyuk’s eyes narrowed..
What was approaching outside the castle were medium-sized giants of 5m in size..
The number is seven in total.
There aren't many, but each one of them is something you can't ignore..
This is because one giant was difficult to handle even with one company of soldiers..
Furthermore, there was no way to estimate the damage that would occur if it invaded the capital, which could be said to be the heart of the empire..
"I know that giants have strong territorial instincts... … Or rather, how did we get here? Even though the Empire is weakened by internal divisions, it is not enough to miss giants of that size.?"
Ellis muttered with an expression of disbelief..
"maybe… … It must have come through that way.."
Jinhyuk pointed to the river flowing to the right of the castle..
A passage where a river and the sea meet and flow inland. shipping).
7As an empire with 10 kingdoms, it also had transportation routes to transport various materials..
"They came all the way here by boat.?"
"I used a more outrageous method than that.."
If you look closely, the giants' bodies were full of moisture..
no way…….
"water… … Inside?"
"okay. From the Eucharist where they are to this place. They sent a separate team through the water.."
If you do this, you will be able to sneak deeper into the empire without being noticed by the border guards..
The fact that the water was not very clear would also have been a great help in hiding the bodies of the giants..
I didn't even know how they could breathe underwater.…….
Considering the characteristics of the ‘guy’ who came up with this method, there was no doubt that he had found something ingenious..
'The king of giants…….'
Jinhyuk looked back on past memories..
Ograkun.
This guy is a minority force in the middle layer of the tower. As the king who leads the giants.
He is the ruler of a race that is the only one to protect his territory even among the great powers of the Empire and the Murim..
'At the same time, he is also the one who holds the key to this war..'
Anyway, the die was cast..
Not by the Empire or the Wulin, but by the hands of giants..
＊＊＊
"What on earth did the border guards do to miss seven giants?!"
"shit. We'll discuss that later. We have to stop it first!"
"Shoot! This means pouring out everything you have! Don't let them get close to the walls.!"
An earth-shaking roar rang out along with an urgent voice..
thud! thud! thud! thud!
The sound of impact coming from the heavy body reached my skin..
I feel pressure, as if a pack of rhinos are charging at me..
And at that very moment.
Kwa-kwa-kwa-kwak.!
Kwaaaaang!
Various magic exploded on the bodies of the giants.
Sparks and ice shards flew in all directions..
"Wow!"
"Oooh!"
Giants with huge wounds all over their bodies cried out..
However, it only stopped the pace for a moment..
The giants mechanically reached the moat just below the castle..
"Damn it! We've already come this far!"
"No matter how big they are, they are over 20m tall. It's not easy to climb... … Heo Eok?"
One of the soldiers who was speaking gasped for air..
Two relatively large giants grabbed both feet of the smaller giant..
It was soon thrown high into the air..
As if receiving a help, a giant jumped over the castle wall at once..
Of all the castle walls, this is the place with the weakest defenses, where the archers are concentrated..
I don't know if that was the intention or not.
The only thing that was certain was that it would be next to impossible for the defense forces here to stop the giant..
"porridge… … what!"
The giant roared wildly..
What followed was a one-sided massacre..
Kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa!
The giant swung his large ax as if he could split a rock in two with one blow..
"Wow!!"
"My, my legs!"
"buy… … Save people!"
Soldiers armed with armor and shields were torn apart like sheets of paper..
It was an attack that overshadowed the option of defending at all..
When the infantry was breached, the archers next to it were exposed to the giants..
Losing archers, who are the core of long-distance warfare, would be an invaluable strategic loss..
We must prevent the archers from being completely destroyed..
Especially if you don't know how the enemy got here..
"Everything is dead... … I left it… … all!"
The giant swung his ax like crazy, muttering human language..
Arms and legs were cut off into pieces, and the air was dyed red with blood..
But right then.
Someone intervened in front of the giant..
"This is as far as I can go."
Grumbling!
A blinding blue radiance appeared along the blade..
A person who handles aurors.
The Empire's Strongest Weapon.
……It's an article.
"Wow!"
"It's the Templars! Lord Melbourne of the Templars has arrived!"
"That's it now. I lived!"
The soldiers who had been in hell just moments ago cheered at Melbourne's appearance..
Melbourne, who has blond hair and blue eyes, immediately stepped on the giant's arm and leapt to where his neck was..
Melbourne caught the giant's back and swung his sword in a natural, flowing motion..
however.
Kaaaaang!
The sword that was running without hesitation suddenly flew out of the air..
"oh… … I stopped it?"
An earthquake occurred in the city of Melbourne..
It's definitely true.
The giant returned the sword strike with an axe..
It is a characteristic of the race of giants that they are difficult to deal with just because of their superior physical specifications.…….
I never thought they would have the means to counter aurors..
'……Dangerous!'
Melbourne instinctively felt a sense of danger and quickly tried to escape..
But it's already too late.
This time, I thought the ax was tilted to the side..
Kwasik!
With Melbourne's sword, the body was shattered into two pieces..
"Wonder of Melbourne… … To be hit by a blow."
"Me, I can't believe it."
"What kind of giant is that? How can I overcome that??"
It was an instant for hope to bubble and disappear..
The morale of the soldiers plummeted when they realized that the knight died before he could last even a minute..
"Kkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk… … haha! human… … field. weak. we are… … strong."
The giant let out a bizarre laugh and twitched the corners of his mouth..
He looked down at the humans as if intoxicated with his own power..
"oh… … It's like a bug that has been bothering us for a long time... … are human bastards. After killing them all today... … I'll make you a feast with that meat.."
The giant was filled with dreams of predation and enjoyed the faces of the humans who were even more horrified..
After all, it is natural for prey to be eaten before they even dare to attack the predator..
however.
A human being who had lost his head calmly approached the giant..
Even while everyone was shaking, he was walking without the slightest fear..
"mi… … Did you hit it? or not… … Am I stupid??"
The giant tilted his head as if he was dumbfounded..
And then he raised his ax high into the sky..
Just like I did to the knight called Melbourne a while ago..
I was planning on splitting the other person's head as well..
Buuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu!
The ax was aimed at the man's head with a terrifying sound..
but…….
What the giant expected did not happen.
Kwaaaaang!
The ax that had never stopped until now was blocked for the first time..
And that too with just a thin dagger..
＊＊＊
"It's not a bad weapon."
Jinhyuk glanced at the giant's axe..
Uncheol (隕鐵) that can withstand aura).
This is why the giant could not be defeated even by a knight..
In addition, the original strength and speed were incredible, so of course the knight could not have been able to overcome it..
"Were even dwarves involved??"
"Well, how do you do that?……?"
"What do you want to play? With something obvious."
This kind of advanced technology is not something that giants can do..
A blacksmith from birth, a type only allowed to dwarves..
Minorities were caught up in the conflict between large powers and suffered losses..
In the end, it seems they united to form another force..
"All my questions have been answered. It was a short meeting, but I am grateful in many ways.."
"At best… … Don't show off for a moment... … Huh up!?"
What happened between the Giant and Melbourne was repeated.
The difference is that the situation has completely changed since then.?
That's it, that's it!
Kakak!
Cracks gradually appeared on the surface of the axe..
Uncheol, which had withstood the aura just fine, was being torn apart as it could not withstand the fangs..
What a blue grade.
It is no exaggeration to say that the combination of Blacksmith Orun's unique ability and the high-level phantom beast called Pentagris is the strongest..
"you… … What on earth are you doing... … Is this?"
"A person who will die soon has no idea that. You had a hard time coming this long way.."
This is sincere.
How difficult must it have been to walk underwater for days and days??
Of course, he died before he could properly receive compensation for his troubles..
With those words at the end.
Suddenly!
The dagger blew off the giant's head..
A huge head rolled over the castle wall..
It was a very vain ending for a giant who was so strong that his teeth trembled..
"Ooh, we're not dreaming now?"
"shit. Looking at the same thing, what kind of dream is this??"
"Which knightly order does he belong to? If you're such a strong knight, you might have seen it at least once.……."
The soldiers who were watching could not believe that what they were seeing was real..
Some people were rubbing their eyes with their hands or tearing their hair..
Recently appointed Commander of the Knights Templar.
Or a top-level mercenary whose name is not well known..
Most people were convinced that the man who appeared in front of them was one of the two..
To that extent, the scene that Jinhyeok showed just now was in a state that cannot be understood with ordinary common sense..
But that was right then..
"Now, wait! That person. He's a criminal on the wanted list.?"
Someone's words caused a stir again..
"okay. A player from outside the tower. This is the man who caused a scene in the nobles' meeting hall.."
"I heard that the bounty alone is the amount of money we need to save for the rest of our lives.."
"Well then, don't you have to catch it??"
"Catch it? How can I catch that monster??"
Yes.
No matter how big the bounty is, what's the point??
It is a tree fruit that they cannot even dare to look at with their abilities.?
Moreover, I didn't feel like pointing a knife straight at the benefactor who saved my life..
Above all, what is urgent now is not the arrest of criminals, but the giants who still remain.?
The giant who reduced the castle wall to rubble was only one of the seven..
To deal with the remaining six, we had to immediately reorganize our forces..
but,
"stay still."
Jinhyuk calmly stopped them..
"What do you mean? Those who are still down there……."
"Who are the remaining guys??"
The raid is over.
Because another player, ‘Unknown’, has already stepped forward..
A player wearing a mask with a geometric pattern was seen floating in the sky..
[Ellis activates the unique ability ‘Blood Lord’!]
like that.
the sky turned red.
