Chapter 252

Over-the-counter combat(2)

···

The past, less than a year from now.

Among the 53 countries claiming to be the true successors to the Chinese mainland, one country somehow invaded another..

Invasion of Heilong People's State by Jilin Republic.

This war, triggered by General Oak's coup, ended with the unexpected intervention of the United States and Russia, which launched satellite weapons into the Jilin Republic without any declaration of war..

Although it has now been brought down by Rakshar, the Staff of God and Grizzly Laser Satellites bombarded the Jilin Republic Orc Army, and taking advantage of the confusion, some kind of unit assassinated its leaders.──

It is a generally known fact that.

The truth is that Yappy, who was intervening in the stock market in the name of the Pantheon, hacked Mirror's state-of-the-art satellite weapons, caused a false explosion, and personally assassinated the Orc leadership in order to prevent the stock market from plummeting..

Since then, the Jilin Republic has lost its main source of national power and has been reeling and living in an unstable situation..

-Wow!!!

Jilin Republic Defense Research Institute. To be exact, dozens of missiles fell over this secret laboratory to research and supply gate attack equipment for the Orcs, the main force of the military..

Although there was a slight error, the missiles landed exactly in front of the laboratory, and knights in anachronistic full plate armor appeared on horseback..

"Whoa, whoa, calm down, old comrade.."

The noise caused by the impact of the missile's fall quickly calmed down under the touch of an old friend..

"Well then, we guess we're in the right place?"

Raihar, a member of the Baltan Burning Sword and Holy Grail Knights, looked at the large research building in front of him..

"Ugh... I just communicated, and it's correct.······."

There was information that the Jilin Republic's National Defense Research Institute was linked to General Grum, who staged a coup in Heilong People's Bureau..

"Why is General Grum related to a secret laboratory of a hostile country??"

-It is believed that they have been in contact since the ceasefire negotiations..

"After the ceasefire negotiations.?"

I was a little puzzled. Why did you contact the Jilin Republic Research Institute more than a year ago, not after Murka appeared??

When Koo Dae-seong seemed to be struggling, Raihar came up with a clear answer..

"Do you have anything to ask? Since His Majesty has taken control of the Heilong People's Republic, shouldn't he just kick that Orc general??"

"That's true, but······."

Anyway, this lab is connected to General Groom. And it was necessary to confirm that Grum was planning to hand over the entire Heilong People's Republic to the Orc Continent Federation..

"By the way, Sir Yappy. Why don't you send us that huge space weapon or something? Other than marquis level or count level.."

-Moving to mid-to-low orbit in preparation for being shot down by enemy forces. Recommended to resolve locally.

The space platform supporting this operation cannot be fully used. This is because when a satellite is launched into a high-altitude geostationary orbit that monitors the continent, it is attacked as soon as it is launched..

-The opponent can intercept it even in a circular orbit at 35,786km above geostationary orbit. It is believed to be a concept penetration caused by Orc divine power..

"I don't know, but it's hard anyway.."

Raihar, who had no knowledge of the universe, overlooked it, but Koo Dae-seong, who has some knowledge about modern people, was astonished..

'Attacking a satellite in space?'

I wondered if such a thing was possible, but when I thought about it, Rakshar also shot down Earth's satellites in the entire universe..

As a Holy Grail Knight, I wondered if such a thing would be possible, but it seems that there really are no limits to transcendent beings such as Leon, the Holy Grail guardian, the Demon Lord, and the Orc Great Khan..

"Go right in. Despite all this chaos, seeing the lights off makes me wonder if there are no people around.──"

That was when Raihar said so..

-Boom!

It rushed through the air.

All members of the Holy Grail Knights heard that eerie sound. But its speed is faster than sound.

"Lord Raihar!"

The only one who could match that speed was none other than Koo Dae-seong. Raihar was protected with an earthen shield, and when he collided with it, his identity was finally revealed..

'javelin?'

"Koo Dae-seong!"

The shock didn't end there. The spear, which did not lose its strength even after colliding with the shield of the earth, pushed Gu Dae-seong forward..

-Kwazijic!

Koo Dae-seong's ankles dig into the ground as he blocks it with his might. Koo Dae-seong slightly twisted his shield and deflected the spear..

"Phew···!"

Some guy's javelin... It was when Koo Dae-seong was relieved..

"Sir Koo Dae-seong! It's not over yet!"

Lord Raihar shouts. Koo Dae-seong's eyes turn to the spear stuck in the floor..

────!!

A strange picture engraved on the window. It missed the window as if it was going to explode.──

"Demera.!"

Step on the ground and pour out the power of the earth. A pile of dirt weighing dozens of tons surrounded the window, but it could not block all the light coming out..

-Wow!!!

Soaring mushroom clouds. The aftereffects of the explosion were enough to shake the armor..

"The response was good. It was my first time seeing it, but I reacted well.."

"What on earth is that??"

"This is an explosive javelin used by the hunters of the Orc hunting god Skunik. It's been a long time since I've seen an explosive javelin of that level.."

Koo Dae-seong is astonished by Raihar’s words. Likewise, Lord Galatan of the Order of the Burning Sword also came forward and testified..

"Your Majesty has surpassed the level of warchief you saw in the Orc War when you were still a Grail Knight. At least there is an orc champion here.."

"······It's called bingo.."

There is a very important person here. Koo Dae-seong was confident that they had come to the right place..

"Entering! I did the second throw──"

It was that moment. Inside a dark building, dozens of spears are thrown through windows and walls..

Lord Raihar shouted..

"Baltan Burning Sword Knights! Balgeom!!"

The riders of the God of War pour down a wall of fire to counter the incoming throws..

"Charge!"

The Burning Sword Knights, who blocked the first attack, rushed forward, led by Koo Dae-seong..

Daeseongbeop <Spear of the Earth>

The ground they ran on was on their side, and under the immense protection of the Holy Grail Knight, they entered the building through a barrage of javelins..

"krr···!"

And what I encountered there was an Orc champion riding a huge boar..

"Those annoying bastards. Didn't even one person get killed?."

Skira, the champion of the Orc hunting god Skunik. He and the orc riders riding boars confront the Holy Grail Knights..

"orc champion······."

I've also heard of Koo Dae-seong. On the other side, where he helped transport Zereah's relics, he encountered orc champions..

The fact that the powerhouse of the Holy Grail Knight class is in front of us means that this conflict may not end in a simple collision..

'Can you win? It's not that I don't believe in the skills of the Burning Sword Knights, but······.'

The problem is yourself. Considering that we are at the same level as the Holy Grail Knight, it is clear that my skills are below average even among the Holy Grail Knights..

Koo Dae-seong had received rigorous training in person-to-person combat from Karina for the past six months, but he had never defeated her before..

"Lord Raihar. I will take on that orc champion. Meanwhile, those black orcs──"

It was then. Goong! And the feeling of being crushed by the air.

This sensation, which makes even the Holy Grail Knight shiver, is similar to that of Leon, Murca, and Vulcan..

"The Holy Grail Knights and the Knights Templar. Somehow, a bunch of annoying people gathered together.."

The identity of that chill was a silver-haired man who exuded the ferocity of a beast..

Although he appears to be a clean-cut young man, his aura is extremely fierce and barbaric..

"Could it be that he was alive??!"

Sir Raihar, who had been burning his fighting spirit just now, was shocked..

"Do you know...?"

"Rigardo, the great warrior of the beast gods... When Lord Vulcanus was a monster of the evil gods, he was the second-in-command of the barbarians.."

"I thought he would have died a long time ago in the battle with the devil.······."

The Burning Sword Knights are veteran knights from the same era as Leon. They each looked nervous, as if they knew Rigardo, but Rigardo seemed happy to see them on the contrary..

"Oh, the Knights of the Burning Sword. Aren’t they the friends who slaughtered tens of thousands of our brothers??"

There was no anger or hatred on Rigardo’s face. Rather, it seems like the easygoing thing brings back old memories..

"It was fun back then. Vulcan, how is your friend??"

"······."

The Knights of the Burning Sword tried to calm the horses down from the oppressive spirit emanating from the man, but it was not easy..

How to recognize a beast is a beast. The horses muttered as if they knew with their sixth sense the danger of that wild beast..

"Back off, ski.."

"what?"

But what came out of Rigardo's mouth was unexpected..

"The purpose has been achieved. There's no need to clash."

"Don't be funny. It would be the Great Khan's wish to wipe them out of here.."

"I really think so?"

"······."

Skira was silent at those words. The Great Khan does not yet want an all-out war with Lionheart..

I thought it would be much more efficient and effective to sufficiently rally the orcs and use the previous plan..

It is not impossible to wipe them out here, and it is true that if the Holy Grail Knights and the Knights are wiped out, it could be a huge blow.──

"You just saw Vulcan's flames in the sky. He can come here as soon as he gets the call. He can cross a continent in 10 minutes.."

Can you wipe out one Holy Grail Knight and the Holy Grail Knights in those 10 minutes??

"If you step forward, you can deal with that monster.?"

"Since I am the last remaining beast god, I have to treat my body with respect.."

At Rigardo's refusal, Skira snorted and turned his nose around..

"Lucky you, tin cans.."

As Skira retreats, the Black Oak Riders join them. Watching them retreat, Gu Dae-seong and the Holy Grail Knights were unable to pursue them..

Rigardo, the great warrior of the beast gods. Because of that one man.

"······??"

Rigardo grins and disappears after the orcs..

"Phew······."

"It was dangerous.."

The situation was so critical that even the warlike Knights of the Holy Grail commented as much..

"But it seems one step too late. They destroyed everything we were looking for.."

All of the lab's servers and computers had been destroyed a long time ago. Yappy will come and collect the data, but since it has been physically destroyed, it will be difficult to salvage it properly..

"Sir Koo Dae-seong! Sir Raihar! see here!"

A knight urges as if he has discovered something. Koo Dae-seong visited them and discovered an unexpected bonanza..

"This is?"

The only intact data room among the completely destroyed laboratories. It was rather unnatural that it remained intact..

As if hoping to be discovered.

"I'll check it out before Sir Yappy comes.!"

Koo Dae-seong hurriedly looked at the data and immediately became contorted in astonishment..

"This is crazy······."

Ragnarok Plan.

This was the moment when the true nature of this plan was revealed..

* * * *

After the incident in which Leon completely replaced Taiwan's leadership, Taiwan entered a period of great turmoil..

It was revealed that the upper echelons, including the President, bureaucrats, and soldiers, were all agents of the devil..

In the center of the capital, the great devils summoned an army of demons, and the Taiwanese army stepped in to support them..

Citizens were angry, and reached the point where they took it upon themselves to burn the devil's followers and officials to death..

-We elected a new president, but honestly, I feel anxious..

-I chose that guy because I had no one to put forward, not because I particularly liked him..

-Why is there not a single pantheon among our politicians??

-Normally, dirty guys would be punished if they said they believed in a pantheon..

At a time when distrust in the social leadership was at its peak and the collapsed social system and military were not properly restored, an unexpected incident occurred on the mainland across the sea..

[The Orc Continent Federation is formed. Will the scattered continent be unified again?!]

The Orcs took over most of the Chinese continent in the blink of an eye. This caused great anxiety among citizens..

-What are they? Aren’t they coming in like that??

-The orcs' temperament is unusual. Among the politicians who collaborate with it, there is one who calls for ‘one China’..

Taiwan has lived under threat from the mainland ever since its founding..

Although the cataclysm that struck the world saved them unexpectedly, the mainland continued to call for the restoration of Taiwan even after the country was torn apart..

Until now, he said he was so busy with his own life that he didn't have the time to compete, but now it's different..

Taiwan is currently weakened, and a strong military power has been born on the mainland, which is less than a day away..

-What is the Fuhrer doing? Take action quickly!

First-year President Jin Long was confused by the demands of the citizens..

"shit! What are you going to do with me?!"

Taiwan, where many of the devil's followers were destroyed, has not even had power restored yet..

In order to immediately replenish our strength, we need to bring in outside personnel, and aren't the Orcs the representative group of mercenaries??

It would be meaningless to bring in Orcs who are a security threat to them. There were two countries where the new Taiwanese government could grab hold of the pants..

"When will we get an answer to the Korea-Japan tripartite talks??"

"After an internal meeting······."

"We need it now! The orcs have already eaten up half of the continent.!"

President Jin Rong also suffered hair loss due to stress over the past month..

It has only been a decade since Taiwan has been free from threats from the mainland. Only after the huge mainland China was torn into 53 parts did Taiwan come to have a national power that surpassed that of the torn mainland China..

However, the majority of the leaders were devil followers, and in the power vacuum that was swept away by Lionheart's knights, a belligerent power arose just around the corner.?

Not only President Jin Rong but all Taiwanese people are bound to be filled with anxiety..

"Mr. President. Park Yong-shin, Prince Hanbit visited."

"Afterwards, ask them to come in.."

In the midst of all this, the person who requested a visit was the leader of a Korean cult that has caused trouble in Taiwan for a long time..

However, it is also a thing of the past that Hanbit Palace was a pseudo-religion. After receiving the baptism of the Lion-Hearted King, aren't they the ones who consider themselves more faithful servants of the pantheon than anyone else??

"It's an honor to meet you, Mr. President.."

President Jinlong greeted the cult leader with an awkward smile..

"Prince Park Yong-shin."

President Jinlong hoped that he would be able to borrow the power of the pantheon from this meeting..

No matter what anyone says, he is a superhuman among superhumans who easily surpasses an S-class hunter. Isn’t this the place where the Lionheart King, who defeated even the Holy Grail Knights and the Demon Lord, is located?.

It's not that the Fuhrer knows much about hunters, but I don't think transcendental people who split the sea with a sword and shoot down all the satellites in space are common..

President Jin Long, who was trying to get some results from Park Yong-shin, received an unexpected proposal..

"Lionheart Federation?"

The solution he brought was unexpected..

Park Yong-shin promised while smiling at the stunned Taiwanese president, as if he had heard something unexpected..

"Your Majesty, as the representative of the gods on earth, pledged his honor to protect your country. As proof──"

It was that moment. Taiwan's sky turns red in an instant.

Normally, people would be afraid of how ominous and frightening it is, but now the world knows..

That red light is the moment when the strongest Holy Grail Knight descends..

"GRARARARARA──!!"

The loud voice of a giant. The windows of the President's office were shaking, but President Jin Long's face was bright with color..

"Lord Vulcan, the Holy Grail Knight of War and Flame, will protect this land.."

almost simultaneously.

Messengers of the pantheon visited 29 countries in Mainland China..

To form an anti-orc federation alliance based on security guaranteed by Leon Dragonia Lionheart..

Orc or Lionheart?.

The option of either/or was not even called a choice..
