History of the Greatest Territory Design - Episode 151
151fury. person running away (1)
Put profit profit!
An ominous sound rang out..
Small and feeble at first.
But gradually, to the point where everyone can hear.
“what?”
Engineers watching Bibeongi's excavation work tilted their heads..
Even so, hundreds of mastodon carcasses buried upright in the ground were unearthed(?)..
It was something I never thought of..
It was enough to make nearby field workers curious..
White Lancers and refugee workers all gathered around the pit. I was sloppy and agitated..
“What does that mean??”
“I don't know either. Is this the sound of a bad smell going away??”
“What a stench.?”
“Why, you know something like that. If you leave a dead cow or pig for a long time, wind will fill its stomach..”
“aha. I've seen it too. The corpse's stomach inflated like a balloon and then burst..”
“yes. That's probably the same phenomenon..”
“Is it possible that it was pressed into the dirt and now it explodes when the dirt is removed??”
“maybe?”
“under. This is something fun to watch after a long time..”
Engineers, White Lancers, and refugee workers.
Everyone's eyes sparkled..
When a cow or pig carcass explodes, a sound like a drum is heard..
How loud would it be if the stomach of that large mastodon carcass exploded?.
The anticipation of being able to see such a rare sight further stimulated the curiosity and interest of everyone gathered at the scene..
Except for one person.
‘That's something strange.?’
Lloyd felt powerful without realizing it..
Hundreds of mastodon carcasses buried straight in the ground.
That thing didn't just die naturally and be buried..
It was clearly someone's artificial burial..
‘who?’
I couldn't figure it out.
However, there was a clear fact that could be seen..
‘Those corpses have similar degrees of decomposition. That means they all died at the same time. That means…….’
It means that someone artificially killed it..
Hundreds of mastodons.
In a short time.
With a clear intention.
‘why? for what?’
Of course, there was no way to know that either..
Instead, at that moment, Lloyd realized that the strong feeling that was stabbing his chest was not just a premonition..
It was through a shady way of thinking..
‘uh?’
Suddenly, I felt the flow of mana..
An abnormally flowing stream of mana was detected through a faint mind technique..
Towards the Mastodon's carcass.
Like a magic circle absorbing mana.
A large amount of mana was being concentrated abnormally..
At the same time, the sound of gas leaking from the corpse became louder..
That means…….
“Everyone step back!”
Lloyd shouted..
Workers looking back with bewildered eyes.
I shouted louder at them..
“Get out of the pit! As far as possible! Anyone who violates this will forfeit their entire bonus.!”
Now I'm reacting more reflexively than understanding.
That would lead to a faster evacuation..
Lloyd's thoughts were exactly right..
Bonus forfeiture.
There was no word scarier than this..
At those words, all the workers reflexively retreated from the pit..
It was right after that..
Put profit, investment profit-!
A mastodon carcass emits a flash of light..
It exploded violently. It spurted out..
Gas, flame, and shock waves combined.
It swallowed the mastodon carcass next to it..
The mastodon carcass that was swallowed also exploded..
The thing next to it, and the thing next to it, emitted flashes of light one after another..
It was a huge chain explosion.
Quaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa-!
Up to 50 mastodon carcasses exploded in an instant..
But it was no ordinary explosion.
It wasn't just the gas building up in the corpse's abdominal cavity that exploded..
It was an explosion of mana concentrated to a terrible level..
It was a magical destructive force that swept everywhere like a nightmare..
And Lloyd had indirect knowledge of this type of explosion..
It was thanks to reading the novel The Knight of Iron Blood.
‘Damn, this is it... … It's a corpse explosion spell..’
Suddenly, something I read in a novel came to mind..
A necromancer processes corpses through certain procedures..
Cast a corpse explosion spell.
then?
Corpses explode when certain conditions are met.
Did you say that it is so powerful that it destroys the surrounding area?.
It is said that its power is proportional to the size of the corpse. It was also said that when a human corpse explodes, it is comparable to the power of an anti-tank mine..
But now?
It was much worse than exploding a human corpse..
‘This is a corpse the size of an elephant exploding... … Wow!’
Lloyd swallowed his anger and ran out of the pit..
I jumped up and grabbed the shovel..
I looked back at the center of the explosion..
I immediately prepared to fire a triple blast..
It's already too late to completely avoid the oncoming explosions and shock waves..
Rather, we should fire a triple blast from here to counter the explosion and shock wave..
‘Whether it works or not.’
His eyes shined and he spun a three-pronged circle..
But it was that moment.
“Bibbeong!”
With a loud shout, my vision suddenly turned black..
No, Bibyeong’s large body blocked the way..
I crouched towards this side..
As if protecting this place from an explosion..
“Bibeung-ah?”
“Beebubung!”
Lie down!
At those words, Lloyd kneeled down reflexively..
Immediately after that, an explosion and shock wave struck..
……!
There was no sound or flash of light..
It feels like heaven and earth are turning over.
Feeling like my entire stomach is shaking.
The loud tinnitus in my ears drowned out all sounds..
Even when I opened my eyes, I couldn't see anything..
No, is pure white the sky?.
Then the pitch black thing?
‘……Bibeung-ah?’
I saw Bibyeong lying in the dust..
Fortunately, he was breathing, judging by his stomach moving up and down..
Lloyd stood up unsteadily..
I endured the dizziness and looked at Bibungi..
It didn't look like he was bleeding or seriously injured..
However, he seemed to have fainted due to a large shock while blocking the explosive force with his whole body..
‘other people?’
Rumbling.
Blood trickles down through the forehead..
I wiped it off with my sleeve and looked around..
Only then did the tinnitus go away little by little..
I could hear the sounds around me..
“Cough! call!”
“What is this?!”
“Ugh, okay, it's okay.?”
Workers who had fallen all over the place were seen hurriedly getting up..
Fortunately, no one seemed to have died or been seriously injured..
It seemed like it was because they heard their cries and quickly retreated from the pit just before the explosion occurred..
‘what… … This happens.’
Lloyd slapped himself hard on the cheek..
Only then did the dizziness and nausea subside a little..
But that was then..
“Wow... … Quoo Ok!”
Inside the pit where the explosion occurred.
A hoarse roar was heard from there..
wasn't one.
“Quarok!”
“nice… … Wook!”
Even if you count less, it's dozens.
maybe more.
Ominous roars began to sound one after another..
We are slowly getting closer in the settling dust..
Lloyd's eyebrows furrowed..
‘This can't be right.’
The corpse explosion isn't just the beginning.?
……It was a moment when the thought came to mind..
Whoa whoa!
Something big rushed out of the dust..
“……!”
He quickly bowed and retreated..
Immediately after that, something long, the size of a log, swept furiously through the space overhead..
‘elephant nose?’
no.
Mastodon's.
That means one thing.
The moment I realized that, a huge figure rushed through the dust..
“Quoaoooook!”
“……!”
It was a mastodon.
But it didn't look alive..
The evidence was the dull eyes like a dead fish and the rotten skin in various places..
However, it rushed more fiercely and fiercely than any other living creature. It swung its tusks and horns at the same time and rushed towards crushing it with its huge body..
It was an undead mastodon..
‘Wow!!’
A visual monster that looks like it would fit in a horror movie..
Even Lloyd was shocked when a guy like that attacked him so openly..
‘Undead due to corpse explosion.’
Now it's clear.
The level of necromancer and necromancer who did this seems to be no joke..
Not just one or two, but hundreds of undead mastodons..
So, other than the 50 or so that exploded in the pit, the remaining hundreds of undead mastodons were all rushing towards us.!
‘crazy!’
Lloyd's whole body suddenly got chills..
I wanted to run away.
Because you are not the brave hero you only see in movies. Because I don't have one gram of interest in heroic acts like risking death..
‘But why does this happen to me?!’
I was building a sludge treatment facility peacefully..
Lloyd lamented the situation that occurred out of nowhere..
If Javiel had been here, he would have bravely stepped forward instead. Showing incredible inaction, the undead mastodons would have been wiped out in an instant..
But Javiel was not here now..
This guy is cutting rebar as an auror at an apartment complex site..
therefore… … Now I have to take responsibility for everyone..
Otherwise, everyone here will die..
“Everyone run away!”
I shouted with all my might.
Fortunately, the shout worked..
The workers, frozen in surprise and fear, flinched..
Have we finally figured out the situation?.
Everyone looked horrified.
“Ooh, wow!”
“run away!”
“Save people!”
Most of the workers were residents and refugees. Some of the engineering corps soldiers were only slightly stronger ordinary soldiers. There was no way such people could stand against the undead Mastodon..
Everyone was so scared that they threw away their shovels and pickaxes and ran away..
I ran towards the south where the territory was..
That sight stimulated a group of undead mastodons..
“Quaroooo-ok!”
One animal at the head of the group howled fiercely..
He pointed at the fleeing workers with his long, half-decayed muscular nose..
Soon the entire group rushed towards the back of the workers..
“Quoo Ok!”
The undead's unique hatred for living life burned..
With a ferocious force, it looks like it will trample everything.
I ran while shaking the earth.
But there were six men blocking the way..
They were members of the White Lancers..
“we are! It is His Majesty's sword and shield.!”
“Your sword and shield! Protect Your People!”
There was no time for Lloyd to stop him..
Six members of the White Lancer, swords drawn, ran while shouting. Charged head-on toward the charging horde of undead mastodons..
Even though I couldn't ride a horse or wear armor, I didn't hesitate..
and trampled.
“Quooooook!”
They were transformed into undead and became much stronger than regular mastodons. They were people who could not even be hit by just cutting and stabbing with a spear knife..
“……!”
The six White Lancers who bravely rushed forward were instantly swept away by the group of bastards, trampled and sacrificed..
The moment Lloyd saw that, he gritted his teeth..
‘What are you doing when I tell you to run away, really?!’
They were the ones who had been sweating and digging together until just now..
Those people died before my eyes..
My hands were shaking out of sadness..
There should no longer be sacrifices like that..
So, you have to think quickly..
something has to be done.
The situation and terrain here.
Our strength and personnel.
How can everyone be safe, including me?.
All the pieces are intertwined.
Finally my mind flashed.
Suddenly, a plausible response occurred to me..
“Podong-ah!”
I put my hand in my vest pocket..
I took out Podongi..
“Podo-dong! Podong!”
Was he also aware of the situation in his pocket?.
As soon as it was taken out, it opened its small mouth wide in this direction..
Lloyd put a red sunflower seed in his mouth..
And threw him away.
Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu!
“Podong!”
10I shouted to Podong who had turned into a meter size..
“Delay them first! Most!”
“Podong!”
The guy nodded..
Started running right away.
Rushed towards the head of the mastodon herd..
“Podo-dong!”
Kuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu!
I was hit with my whole body..
Podongi’s body length is 10 meters..
4It weighed several times more than a mastodon that was one meter long..
It was a difference in weight that even Mastodon, who had become undead and become ferocious, could not do anything about..
“Kuoooook!”
The seven leading undead mastodons charging toward the workers fell to the ground like bowling pins..
But what happened after that was the problem.
“Quoo Ok!”
The rest of the crowd came in like a tidal wave..
Even if you count it roughly, there are at least 300 of them..
Not even Podong could handle the pressure of that number..
“Podo-dong! Podong!”
I barely managed to get out..
In the process, I was stabbed in the buttocks several times by horns and ivory..
There was no blood, but it was extremely painful..
But Podong didn’t give up..
After backing away a little to increase the distance, he turned without fail. Speeded up. Attempted a body slam towards the leader..
“Podong!”
Kwaaang!
Every time that happened, five or six mastodons rolled around..
That's how much their charge was stopped..
Meanwhile, Lloyd was running towards the fleeing workers..
To be more precise, they organized their ranks at the rear of the workers and ran towards the engineers and white lance cavalry who were preparing to fight..
“Lord Bayern! Lord Blanck!”
Lord Bavaria leading the engineers.
Sir Blanck, commander of the White Lancers.
The two commanders responded to the call..
“Lloyd, get out of the way quickly. We will protect this place.”
“Leave this place to the White Lancers. We will prove that our bravery was not in vain..”
Two men who reveal their determination with trustworthy faces.
Looking at them, Lloyd quickly shook his head..
“No, everyone runs away. The police, the engineers and the white lance cavalry.”
“yes?”
“What I am saying here is that I will buy you time. So, everyone lead the workers as quickly as possible. retreat. You understand?”
“Lloyd? What do you mean by that?…….”
Lord Bavaria's complexion turned pale..
Sir Blanck asked with a straight face..
“What does that mean? Now, we are telling our White Lancers to turn their backs on the enemy.?”
“Yes, that's exactly what it sounds like.”
Lloyd answered immediately..
“There is no point in fighting here. So protect your workers and retreat as far south as possible. I will buy you the time to do that..”
“But I cannot listen to such advice. Our White Lancers…….”
“This is not a recommendation.”
Lloyd's remark cut off Lord Blanck's rebuttal..
Before he knew it, his straight-faced eyes turned to Lord Blanck..
To prevent reckless sacrifices.
In order to save everyone.
He spoke in a firm and stern tone..
“It's a command.”
