Chapter 188

188Hwa International Hunter Allied Forces

There have been three catastrophes since humanity suffered from an alien threat called the Gate..

First, the Shanghai disaster.

Shanghai was defeated by the great evil Skajacaria until it evaporated, but the damage accumulated through continuous resurrection and re-emergence and the continent collapsed..

The second is the Frost Queen of Siberia..

The Frost Queen, who engulfed the Russian Siberian snow fields, was eventually subdued, but her heart still remained and became an epic item that expanded the snow fields..

Third is the London disaster.

The EU's first joint attack force cleared the gate, but the real Madou was the Wandering Demon Sword, which was dropped as an epic item..

In other words, 870,000 citizens of London and 600 hunters were killed by the first magic swordsman, James Spencer, as a trap for Akasha, the Great Duke of Slaughter, to find a host. Since then, he has continued to change hosts and caused countless damage..

In this way, all black gates have caused irreparable harm to humanity..

The least damage was the London disaster, in which nearly a million people died, so there is no need to say how terrible a disaster it was..

Therefore, when a black gate appeared in the middle of Washington DC, the capital of the United States, the United States acted very rationally..

[The United States Requests Support from Old Allies.]

We requested the dispatch of elite hunter attack teams from the Five Eyes, including the UK, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand, as well as long-standing allies such as Korea, Japan, Germany, and France..

-Look at that. It's Cornwall. Great Wizard of England! Magician of the Tower of London!

-The Gentleman League came together. Graham the Silver Knight!

-Günther from Germany also came! European defending champions!

- The president of Takeda Association came directly from Japan. Now that he is a high-ranking official, I thought he would send his subordinates..

The hunters who flocked from all over the world at the request of the United States were S-class hunters representing each country..

It may be said to be condescending since the United States has gained a lot in terms of security and technology, but this alone surpasses the number of S-class hunters mobilized at the London Gate..

And the important American hunter force is──

-It's the Maverick Guild! There's the Minuteman and Allen Taylor!

-Is all executives participating?!

-LA's McHale Guild is also here! The American S-class hunter is guilty.!

-There are sixty S-class hunters alone. You're crazy.

Indeed, it was a power worthy of the United States of America, the world's most powerful country..

The total number of S-class hunters in the United States is eighty. This alone was four times the level of Korea, which is considered a powerful hunter country..

Among them, Maverick Guild and McHale Guild, which are the guilds with the most S ranks, are large guilds that divide the United States..

The largest guilds in the East and West in the United States were mobilized to attack the Washington Black Gate..

"They haven't come yet."

"The real monster power of this strategy."

But even they were not the main players in this attack. Soon, a formal entrance begins, as if the Pope were visiting, with a gorgeous American ceremonial guard leading the way..

"Lionheart King Leon Dragonia Lionheart, His Majesty, and his companions are entering.!"

It was a heterogeneous group in this modern era.

It is not uncommon these days for hunters to use cold weapons and wear pre-modern armor..

However, modernized pre-modern style armor designs and swords and shields with increased magic conductivity give off a different atmosphere from the weapons of the past..

The cutting-edge cold weapons are a contradictory balance..

-Many, Many, Many!

But is there really another group that goes against the times like this??

Full body armor, collectively referred to as full plate armor. A standardized heavy jousting spear. Even a war horse that protects its entire body with barding..

A heavily armored assault knights with a thorough cold weapon system reminiscent of medieval French knights..

The uniqueness of the cavalry, which suddenly appeared in the era of tanks and fighter planes, attracts people's attention..

-It's truly medieval..

-They say there's a cavalry charge at the gate..

-It's not like we're jousting.?

There were people in the audience who burst into laughter at the joke, but as they got closer, everyone held their breath..

Overwhelming presence. I realized that the people who jumped out of medieval murals were not just anachronistic knights, but warriors who had been on the battlefield since they were born..

"your majesty! You came on time.!"

President Hobson, the President of the United States, was scheduled to personally meet the Black Gate attack..

President Hobson welcomed Leon's appearance with a big welcome, and Leon and the knights disembarked one after another..

-Looks like the Men at Arms aren't here..

-Well, if they come, there will be more hunters than in the United States. The chain of command will be a mess..

No matter how much we hoped for support from our allies, the United States itself must be at the center of this gate attack..

-But just the Knights of the Burning Sword and Lord Vulcan.

-It's a huge overbalance. The Naju Knights are not low level either..

- The real ones are four people, including the Lionheart King. Especially with the Yacht Spinner, you never know what might pop out. Are those containers his exclusive armed containers??

In any case, the number of hunters gathered in Washington approached a whopping 150 people of level S or higher. At this level, the power of the red gate is enough for one day..

The reason they did not enter the Washington Gate right away was because there were others waiting..

"President Hobson, how long has it been since the scouts went in??"

"Today is the fourth day.."

All of the black gates boasted terrible difficulty levels. Most large guilds tried to bid on the red gate, which is the most difficult, but the case is different with the black gate..

In the black gate attack, which was an all-out national war to the point of being almost unconditional, hunters dispatched a scouting party first, even if it took time, to see the situation at the gate and decide whether or not to attack..

"It's time to come out soon······."

In fact, I had given instructions to return last night if possible. However, if no one has come out yet,······.

'It won’t be annihilation, right? It was a scouting party that included Trident, an S-class hunter..'

It was best for the scouting party to convey as much information as possible inside the gate, but in the worst case, even if the scouting party was destroyed, they had to enter the gate..

Although all citizens of Washington DC are being evacuated, this city is the administrative capital and center of the United States that the United States cannot give up..

Losing this place will be an indelible wound..

"Let's wait a moment. Our American hunters are excellent. I'll be back soon with good news.."

President Hobson spoke loudly, but as time went by, his and his secretaries' faces began to darken..

One hour, two hours... four hours... When it was time to receive information from the gate and plan a strategy, the International Hunter Allied Forces had no choice but to wait..

There is only one thing that time passes by so inexorably..

Reconnaissance party annihilated.

Even in the United States, the miserable assumption that the Hunter Scouts, composed only of elite hunters, had completely disappeared has become an established fact..

"your majesty."

An old British gentleman approached the Hunter Management Bureau agents, who were astonished after realizing what it meant..

"Cornwall. What's going on??"

Cornwall, the Duke of England and the Grand Wizard, whom even President Hobson cannot treat lightly. As the owner of the epic item Twelve Rings, he expressed his opinion on behalf of the International Hunter Alliance..

"I think we should move in slowly.."

"But... the scouting party hasn't returned yet.."

"Although the black gate has a longer dungeon break grace period than other gates, it is a gate that is more difficult to clear. You must enter as quickly as possible, collect internal information, and engage in a strategy.."

Originally, even operating a reconnaissance team was a waste of time. It's just that no one can easily leave the black gate, a gate with an extremely high mortality rate..

"So... what do you think of the Maverick Guild and the McHale Guild??"

"I think we should enter... Your Excellency. It's a shame that Trident didn't come out.."

The Maverick Guild was devastated to learn that there was a high probability that their S-class hunter was dead, but they came to a calm conclusion..

"We are of the same opinion as the Maverick Guild. If you take more time here, attacking the gate may become more urgent.."

"I see.······."

President Hobson was devastated that he had to send the International Hunter Coalition, which was supposed to overcome America's crisis, without providing even a single piece of proper information..

His eyes were now turned to Leon..

"Does your Majesty think so too??"

"Jim is not the commander of this coalition. The commander-in-chief is President Hobson.."

Leon emphasizes that the responsibility for the decision lies with President Hobson himself. He did not come here as a king, but as a reinforcement..

President Hobson also made a decision based on Leon's wise answer..

"great. Although it is not the best, our International Hunter Coalition Forces are stronger than any other military force in the world. I trust that you can overcome any obstacle.."

President Hobson also made a decision. He ordered the march to Washington Gate..

"As President of the United States, I order the international coalition of hunters to protect Washington and its citizens. God bless them."

* * * *

Although it was sad news that the scouting party was destroyed, they were confident that this attack would not fail..

As many as 150 S-class hunters gathered to attack Washington Gate. There are about 2,000 class A hunters..

There is no precedent in the history of world gate attack that such force has been mobilized..

'Your Majesty, Lord Vulcan, the Queen, and Lord Yapi are there too.!'

Han Ha-ri, a rookie who took the last place among these 150 S-class hunters, had even more faith..

No matter how powerful the Demon Prince or the most powerful people are, I couldn't imagine them surpassing the stronghold of Leon..

That's why.

"What, what is it? Gate movement······."

"What is this place?······."

The unexpected event was clearly beyond her imagination..

It was a hazy space..

A strange feeling of floating, as if you were in outer space. However, the buoyancy of an unknown force is pushing the raiders somewhere..

Progress in the irresistible direction was a little frustratingly slow..

"What is this! What happened?!"

"Don't get excited! Everyone says they don't know the same thing!"

While being pushed by an unknown force, the hunters each tried to interpret this abnormal situation in their own way. Or your anxiety gets out of control..

"Everyone calm down! It's clear that we entered the gate.!"

In the end, the old gentleman went ahead and calmed them down. He has been active since the beginning of the cataclysm and is the owner of the world's magic tower called the Tower of London. He is the most prestigious hunter there, so his words have power..

"Cornwall. Archmage, do you have any guesses about this phenomenon??"

It was Allen Taylor of the Maverick Guild. He was testing his movements as if he were swimming through space through his men..

"Hmm... it's not like it doesn't exist at all. However, according to this old guess, the magician queen of the pantheon would be more aware of this phenomenon.."

At those words, everyone's eyes turn towards the pantheon. Beatrice accepted their gaze while riding a black horse swimming in the sky..

"Do you also have the same thoughts as me??"

"Yes, my queen. I have read the Queen's thesis published in the world of magic.."

"Thesis published by the Magician Queen?"

"I heard there are a few."

Hunters noisy. The most famous person in the pantheon for external activities, after Leon, is this magician queen..

Are you saying that the numerous magical theories she put forth are truly revolutionary in the world of magic?.

It is assessed that humanity, with only 30 years of magical history, is no different from a newborn baby in front of this magician queen..

"This is probably inside the gate. To be exact, it is a subspace between the entrance and exit of the gate.."

"It's between the gate entrance and exit.?"

"I think many wizards have already experimented with opening the gate through the paper I published, but to put it simply, the gate is supposed to come out the exit as soon as you enter.."

As soon as you enter, you exit through the exit. This has been an obvious fact until now. But the academic position is different..

"Entering the gate means crossing into another world. It is literally a leap in space that transcends time and space... However, a 'passage' is physically necessary.."

Now we are swimming in that passage. Even the hunters understood up to that point. The problem is──

"Why are you coming now? By now, you would have moved on to the next entrance in an instant.?"

"Nogu thinks there are two possibilities. First, the unprecedented large-scale movement had any effect on the gates due to the hunters' magic power.······."

"Is there a being who can intervene in this subspace and the passage between worlds?."

-Abnormal energy activity occurs. Inactive observation radar fully operational.

The space is shaking. In subspace, a huge passage-like road became distorted, and a ‘shape’ was revealed there..

The image was so large and clear that everyone thought of a being..

evil one. A huge being. hero's enemy.

The greatest incarnation of violence in that myth is──

"What is that?······."

The torn pupils of a huge dragon were staring at the Allied forces from the other side of subspace..
