Chapter 218

< Advance on Pyongyang >

Pyongyang siege front.

Over the past week, the ROK Army and the Pantheon have solidified the siege by destroying everything around Pyongyang..

"show no mercy!"

We wiped out numerous monsters and North Korean troops..

"Those who surrender will receive what they deserve! However, those who resist are the enemy, so do not take up arms, you lowly things.!"

Conquered cities, villages, etc..

By repeating a series of processes, the South Korean military clearly isolated Pyongyang..

The small number of naval and air forces were eradicated, sea routes and air routes were blocked, and finally, a large army surrounding Pyongyang blocked all supplies..

"It's not moving.."

"Yes, we would have run out of food a long time ago.."

It's a city like that. That place, where not only the citizens of Pyongyang but also hundreds of thousands of nearby troops and monsters insist, is no different from a black hole that consumes food endlessly..

"Are you growing food inside??"

"Modern cities cannot become food independent. This is because land for cultivation was also used to build buildings.."

"So, can you survive with stockpiled resources??"

"That is also not possible. No matter how much resources we have stockpiled, it is still in the millions. Unless there is an endless supply from overseas, food stored in warehouses will run out in an instant.."

There is no external supply, no self-production, and no reserves..

"Then there is one. They don't depend on food sources or anything.."

"Is that possible as a living thing??"

"There is a high possibility that what is inside is not a creature we know.."

Leon recalled the mutations he witnessed when he charged the serfs. The process by which living things deteriorate and mutate. It does not belong to any laws of birth, old age, illness, and death..

Truly chaos.

Like the Lord of Chaos and his army that pushed Lionheart to the brink of destruction in the past..

"I can't help it. We have to advance slowly.."

"yes. But if you get there."

"Those armed with divinity are fine. Those who receive the protection of Jim and the Holy Grail Knights can resist foreign objects.."

The commander of the ROK Army wondered whether he should dissuade this..

The number of troops mobilized by the Pantheon is almost ten thousand. Even if Pantheon and other hunters armed with special iron weapons were mobilized, that would have been the extent of it..

It is more than the strength of a full division, but in other words, it is only the strength of one division..

Attacking a large city like Pyongyang with that much force would be tantamount to suicide..

Leon read those eyes and patted the commander on the shoulder..

"However, there are times when you have to do it. Like Jim said, there's not much time left.."

"Branch of Doom······."

The commander turned his attention to Pyongyang. What was invisible when I first arrived is now spreading out into the sky, using Pyongyang's symbol, the Ryugyong Hotel, as its base..

Leon didn't think it would be completed until the war was over, but he thought it was at least a time bomb that could speed up time at this point..

"Then go."

"good luck···!"

Leon boarded the Stallion and stood on the rice fields surrounding Pyongyang. He was wearing unfinished star armor made by Yapi..

-Shut up! Compactly!

Then, one by one, people gathered in front of him. they are knights.

Vulcan, the Holy Grail Knight of War and Flame, and the Burning Sword of the Holy Grail Knights of Fifty.

Beatrice Alighieri Spero, priestess of dreams and death and magician queen.

Iron and Blacksmith's Grail Knight Yacht Spinner.

Han Ha-ri, Cheon So-yeon, Han Su-ho, Kim Jae-hyuk, and about 150 other knights representing knights trained and ordained at the Naju Pantheon..

Chief of the Krashatriya warriors and Manager Kim Jin-su, who leads the Eight Thousand Men at Arms..

In addition, numerous hunters armed with star weapons gathered..

Oh Kang-hyuk, president of the Korea Hunter Association, Lee Yong-wan and Ha Yu-ri of the Phoenix Guild, Hwang Geum-cheol of the Golden Lion Guild, Hwang Yeon-ha... members of Mujin Guild, Joowon Medical, Shingeom Guild, and Cheongseong Guild. In addition, the most elite hunters dispatched from Japan, the United States, and the European Union.

There are 12,000 hunters alone. It's not just this.

-Launch of unmanned combat integrated platform.

Unmanned aerial vehicles launch from containers in unison according to Yapi's command protocol..

Pantheon boasts 34,000 gate-attacking drones..

They were quite an army, perhaps the mightiest army on earth..

"whole army, advance."

Leon took the lead. He and the White Divine Beast slowly move forward, followed by the Grail Knights and the Knights..

The sight of tens of thousands of troops moving in unison was truly spectacular..

-Gulp!

In preparation for the enemy's bombardment, the long-distance corps defense method unfolds and gradually approaches the 'point'..

The mutation point of the creature experimented on by sacrificing serf soldiers. He explicitly warned that if you cross this point, you will die..

A point approaches as their progress continues. Eventually, when Leon stood in front of it, it blatantly revealed its black membrane..

A warning of sorts. But the Lionheart King just sneers and waves it away..

"With some remnants like this."

It could be said that it was a good idea to tie up the national army troops who did not receive divine protection, but Leon had no intention of relying on the national army from the beginning..

As he entered, pushing away the black curtain, the troops gradually entered. They were relieved to realize that the black film had not mutated them..

"coming."

Plain in front of Pyongyang. Beyond that, countless monsters and North Korean soldiers can be seen. As if I was waiting for this side.

"That's a lot."

"Are you worried? Lord Vulcan."

"GRARARARA──!! I'm just happy because there's a lot of firewood.!"

"Lord Spinner, let's get started."

-Kikluk!

Yapi mobilized drones. At the forefront are Kikkiruk pilots aboard Earl-class aircraft and Baron-class drones. And tens of thousands of drones are together..

A large-scale combat drone that will maintain firepower superiority with the Kikiruk artillery for Pantheon, which focuses on close combat..

An army of unmanned robots, which could be called a drone swarm, took over the sky and pointed their guns at monsters and North Korean soldiers..

-Integrated space weapon platform full weapon set.

In addition, there is a stealth combat satellite that bombarded a star bomb somewhere in the northern part of Pyongyang a while ago and completed its adjustment work..

-All Weapon Free.

The moment when tens of thousands of gun barrels were about to be fired above the enemy's head──

[Do you have to bring such boring toys to use them?.]

It echoed throughout all spaces surrounding Pyongyang. Maybe it even stopped by Seoul. A sound so deep and so solemn as to be drawn from the abyss..

Leon knows the owner of that voice..

"Rakshahr?!"

The next moment, a 'roar' rang out..

█▀▀▀▀▀███▄▄▄▄▄────!!

A roar rings out.

A flash of roar piercing the sky and extending through space. Leon witnessed it..

200More than a year ago. The sight of the roar of Malus, the Lord of Chaos summoned for the first time in the Empire, splitting the sky..

If so, then──!!

"vulcan!!"

"All members of the Holy Grail Knights! utterance!!"

At the same time as Vulcanus commanded, all members of the Burning Sword Knights spewed out flames. The holy fire unleashed by 50 members of the Holy Grail Knights and Vulcan, the strongest Holy Grail Knight of all time, formed a curtain so large that it blocked the path of all 12,000 hunters..

"What, what? Why are you suddenly blocking my view?──"

The doubts did not last long. This is because something hit the curtain of fire and cut it open..

porousness.

The explosion caused by the roar's aftermath cut through the curtain of fire and cut through the air..

Even though it was only an aftereffect of sound at best, it was sharp as if all the blades in the world were compressed together..

"Turn it off... my ears······."

"Damn, what are you talking about?······."

I can't believe that just roaring can have this effect. Lee Yong-wan thought his opponent was formidable..

"Are you okay, Ms. Yuri?."

"Uh... because it was just a sound. But what kind of guy is talking like that??"

It was then. Ha Yu-ri felt a foreign body on the top of her head, so she swung her dagger and cut it off..

-Tuk!

The cause of the severed foreign body sensation was falling on the floor..

"This, this?"

Drone. It was a drone that was filling the sky just a moment ago..

"Why is this?"

Yongwan Lee looked at the sky. And couldn't close his mouth.

-Unmanned aerial vehicle corps halted. Count-level 65% loss, Baron-level malfunction. Out of control. out of control.

The drones that filled the sky were falling all at once..

"Bar, hold the shield!"

The reliable drone squadron that had been protecting our troops just a moment ago turned into a piece of scrap metal and beat up the corps..

There are no weaklings here who would be hurt by a piece of hard scrap metal falling, but the fact that so many unmanned aerial vehicles had all crashed caused a psychological stir..

furthermore──

"Ha, look at the sky!"

The sky... No, to be exact, countless shooting stars pouring down from space..

It didn't take long to realize that these were the satellites that humanity had ever launched into space..

[Come on, let's start the old fashioned war.]

Rakshar, the Lord of Chaos, smiled..

* * * *

roar once.

In that one moment, humanity lost everything in the universe..

different. The scale is so different.

Until now, humanity has faced demons and defeated them many times..

Sometimes we failed, but we still succeeded in defeating the devil itself..

Skajakari, the arch-devil who caused the Shanghai disaster, is also successfully killed every time, and there have been arch-demons that appear from time to time, but humanity, fully prepared, has defeated them..

It was even easier after the pantheon appeared..

The Demon Gate was no longer a furnace welcoming immortal demons, and the demons lurking in the human world were eliminated one by one as the pantheon hunted them down..

Those who watched the battle video in Taiwan realized and cheered that although the demons may have been powerful, they were no match for the most powerful creatures on earth... the Holy Grail Knights..

but.

This is different.

The scale is so different.

The only ones who 'understood' this moment were Vulcan and the Knights of the Burning Sword, who fought against numerous monarch-level demons... and a small number of people who witnessed the final battle at the gate that recorded the destruction of Lionheart..

"Don't panic, you lowly things.!!"

Lionheart's loud roar calmed them as much as Raksha's majestic roar..

"So do not be afraid and be courageous. In life you will receive the protection of the Lionheart King, and in death you will go to the banquet hall of the gods in paradise.."

Leon raises his holy spear high. The spear sent down by the Goddess of Light showered them with the most sacred light..

"Bullet! Knights of the Burning Sword! Balgeom!!"

"Forward with the spear of the Naju Knights!!"

-A total of 18 Count-class pilots sortie. Safety energy sharing. unfold.

"Now, if you've seen the surprise show, raise your shield tightly.!"

The Knights of the Holy Grail, the Knights Templar, and Men at Arms respond to this..

Trusting without a doubt the miracles that the Lion-Hearted King has shown so far, they followed the Lion-Hearted King's commands and raised their swords and spears without hesitation towards the legions of evil..

Lionheart's Lionheart King Leon Dragonia Lionheart is the strongest war rider across all dimensions, leaving behind 12,000 warriors who follow him..

"Prepare yourselves with swords and spears."

He raised his holy spear and sent a signal to his old ally..

"for the goddess."

the king says.

""for honor!!""

The knights shouted at this.

"""For Lionheart!!!"""

The soldiers' ensemble shook the earth..

"charge. from now on."

Only death to evil.
