Chapter 255
Lionheart vs Orc (1)
[Ten days have already passed since the Battle of Pyongyang ended..]
[The day the Lionheart Federation ratification ceremony was declared. Half of the world's trees were burned due to a large-scale raid by Murka Balak, the Great Khan of the Orc Continent Federation.──]
[The situation in coastal cities in Mainland China is serious. 13 cities were submerged in seawater and numerous victims were created.──]
Four days after the Lionheart Federation ratification ceremony, Murka Balak's Orc Continent Federation launched a large-scale raid and simultaneously activated the Lionheart Federation's weapons of mass destruction..
The clash between the Orc champions and the Holy Grail Knights literally devastated Pyongyang, which had been destroyed in the battle with the demons..
Pyongyang achieved remarkable development for half a year in accordance with Yapi's planned city reconstruction plan, but it could not withstand the confrontation between superhumans who represented the power of God..
"Phew~ It just got smashed, smashed.."
Reporter Park of the state broadcaster, who came to cover the situation in Pyongyang, was left speechless at the miserable sight of Pyongyang being destroyed in many places..
Excluding the VIPs who were invited at the time, the lowest cut for ordinary citizens was elves or treemen, so if there were ordinary citizens, it would have been a disaster..
"But even though there was a fire of that magnitude, the World Tree is relatively intact.."
"It is said that the creation of life, which was the greatest function of the past, has ceased. He's focusing on recovery now.."
Pyongyang Special City, which can be said to be the home of the Lionheart Federation, suffered damage such as the World Tree being burned and its functions halted, and many parts of the city were destroyed..
It could be said that it was a shame to suffer such damage on the day of the federal ratification ceremony, but no one thought this was a one-sided defeat for Lionheart..
"How is the situation on the continent??"
"It's devastating. They died by the hundreds of thousands.."
As soon as Murca's large-scale raid began, Leon activated the destruction protocol he had prepared..
High- performance suicide drones sortied from a land-based unmanned drone base controlled by the Marquis class, a land-based decisive battle weapon, crossed the Yellow Sea and struck various parts of the continent.,
The Dominator class, a maritime decisive battle weapon, exploded dozens of nuclear torpedoes and created huge waves on the continental shelf..
Although it is now in stealth diving mode, the ground bombardment of charged particle artillery by the space integrated weapons platform is evaluated to have exceeded the power of the conventional weapon by a hundred times..
"It was an attack that wouldn't be surprising if tens of thousands of people died. The law is really... convenient.."
It's surprising that even with these incredible devices of destruction in operation, almost no deaths occurred except for the orcs..
Even with the help of high technology, the subject of the attack was a conceptual attack that clearly differentiated Fiia, such as Beatrice's sacred method of death, Hanhari's sacred method of waves, and Yapi's sacred method of iron..
They launched an attack designed to kill only orcs, not humans, and the orcs of the continental orc federation were swept away by the wrath of the great god..
Although the devastating destruction swept through, the atmosphere was not kind to the Orc Continent Federation. This is because the Lionheart Federation immediately announced the plans being made by the Orc Continent Federation..
"Ragnarok Plan. If that's true... this isn't a war between Orcs and Lionheart. It's a war between humans and orcs.."
Ragnarok Plan.
It was a plan that began at the same time as the emergence of the pantheon of demons that had been encroaching on this land for a long time..
Open a special gate to summon foreign gods from ‘alien’ to this land..
A direct confrontation between foreign gods and pantheon gods. Truly a war of gods.
No one could have imagined what kind of catastrophe it would lead to..
"There was a reason why the orcs attacked so aggressively. Thanks to you, we're knocking around the world, right?."
Three days after the start of the war, the U.S. Pacific Fleet is bombing major cities, and Indian troops have advanced on land..
The European Union is providing weapons support and other things to the Lionheart Federation, but support is sluggish as it has not even passed the National Assembly yet..
'But thanks to this, the huge number of orcs has been balanced..'
The number of orcs on the continent alone exceeded two million..
Although it is not enough compared to the entire human race, the number of Orc warriors who are treated as dual warrior class, that is, at least B-class hunters, is close to 700,000..
In addition, considering the continental hunters and troops absorbed by the Orc Continent Federation, the combat personnel alone number in the millions..
No matter how many thousands of knights and tens of thousands of men-at-arms are mobilized into the Lionheart Federation, this numerical balance is still difficult..
For some reason, the United States, which was sluggish, is actively taking a support offensive, and Korea and Japan naturally entered the war, so the balance of this number was maintained..
"But in the end, the strongest forces of both sides are the Lionheart King and the Great Khan. Even if just one of those demigods enters the war, this balance will be destroyed in an instant.."
That was something everyone who watched the Battle of Pyongyang sympathized with..
Pyongyang was destroyed.
Because half of it was just the aftermath of two monsters clashing..
* * * *
10 days before the start of the war.
The world is truly in chaos..
It's only been half a year since the war against demons ended. I thought I had finally gotten used to the rampage of demons lurking in all directions, but a great war broke out in which 'Great Powers' clashed with 'Great Powers'..
The 33 countries under the Lionheart Federation, the triangular alliance of Korea, the United States and Japan, and the Orc Continent Federation, which has swallowed up half of the continent, are clashing..
The attacks on the National Guard by Orc circles in the United States and the Orc coups in Eastern Europe and Russia are laughable..
The war against the Lord of Chaos Rakshar was not this large-scale, and this is the first time since the Gulf War that humanity, which has relied on a small number of superhuman powers since the beginning of the Age of Hunters, has caused such a large-scale military conflict..
-Crazy, part of Moscow has been taken over by orcs! The Russian Guard Corps is now entering the mosque.!
-The problem cannot be solved at the police level.?
-Hunters are getting swept away too, of course.!
The problem is that this war goes against existing common sense..
Originally, the war of mankind was a battle between cotton and cotton..
The army gathered from the country marches to occupy the land and clashes with the enemy army..
Although modernization and network warfare have added linkages on land, sea, and air, the basic principles of war remain the same..
But this war was different.
-Orcs have appeared in Pearl Harbor! The Pacific Fleet's home port is being destroyed.!
-what? There aren't many orcs in Hawaii.!
-I opened the gate and came in.!
-The Order of the Burning Sword has appeared in Beijing! I'm burning everything I can find!
-Here in Wuhan, lightning is just falling! No matter how much you think about it, it’s not natural.!
-Is there anything else besides the lightning of Ultima, the god of thunder?!
gate technology.
This great magic of leaping through space was acquired by the magician queen Beatrice, and just as Murka rode it on the day of the federal ratification ceremony, they were waging a guerrilla war crossing each other's territory..
-3The second gate will open now. The 1st Knights and auxiliary men-at-arms must quickly apply firepower and return within 30 minutes..
-We will open the gate to Tokyo. Kill as many of the Japanese Hunter Association hunters there as possible and then retreat sequentially..
The Sorcerer Queen and the Orc Elder.
The masters of both eras are capable of using gate magic that even demons cannot handle except the Great Demons of Wisdom..
Because of the existence of these two, the war goes beyond a face-to-face confrontation and is a battle between super-three-dimensional and super-three-dimensional. In other words, an n-dimensional confrontation is taking place..
-Gate jump ends. The magical power of the enemy great shaman is gradually reaching its limit..
- It calms down at this point. Did you say she was a magician queen? She had an incredible amount of magic power. Click, click, click······.
The reason this war doesn't turn into an endless quagmire is that there is only one genius in each faction who can use gate magic..
In order to retrieve the troops deployed to the gate, they must exert effort in maintaining the gate they opened..
"Phew······."
"Thank you for your hard work, Bice.."
Leon studied the tactical map and looked at Bice who was resting next to him..
"How do you feel? I know his location.?"
While performing the gate magic, Bice traced back to the gate that the orcs were opening. If the gate could be traced back, that would be the Orcs' headquarters..
They say we can end this war in one fell swoop..
"no. The level of his anti-tracking spell is also amazing. This is my first time drinking alcohol like this.."
Beatrice stuck out her tongue, saying that even the fallen Archduke Quay wasn't like this..
"In the past, there was a famous shaman among the orcs. He was a warchief who united 13 orc tribes.."
High Shaman Krahn.
Leon recalled an old memory..
"Because it was a large tribe of orcs from the northern part of the empire, I couldn't go to kill them, but it seems that the orc shaman who is dealing with Bice is that guy.."
"Go'krok's champion, an orc shaman named Mag'har.?"
Beatrice mentioned the Orc champion that Leon encountered during the Zereah Relic Reward Corps quest, but Leon responded with a chuckle..
"Bice, your power is greater than that of any Holy Grail Knight. His talent in magic is no match for the arrogant electors of the empire. Even though that Mag'har is Go'krok's champion, it's that Krahn that the evil orc shaman really cares about.."
Just as Murka Balak is favored by the three orc gods,.
"By the way, Your Majesty. Has your wound not healed yet??"
Beatrice approached Leon and looked worriedly at the blood-oozing bandage..
Ten days ago, in a bloody fight in Pyongyang, Leon and Murca wounded each other and retreated. Thanks to this, Leon had to take a break while commanding the battlefield here in Pyongyang..
"He also had his shoulder pierced with a holy sword, so it will take time for him to recover. Until then, I have no choice but to leave it to his subordinates.."
Leon looked at the map.
Now that the true nature of the Orc Continent Federation's reckless surprise attack and Ragnarok plan has been revealed, they are being attacked from all directions..
Although there are several fierce battles, in the end it is just a wasteful local war. The real thing is in an unexpected place.
"I can only hope that Lord Vulcan is doing well.."
Leon's eyes were focused on the huge continental map..
* * * *
Ten days and one day after the outbreak of war.
Despite the hyper-three-dimensional battle of Gate Leap and the unprecedented clash of large armies, the world's attention is focused on one area..
A huge wall built by mainland China to prevent invasion by nomadic tribes. Among them, the easternmost point and starting point.
Shanhaiguan.
For a long time, the huge fortress that blocked the nomadic tribes that threatened the settled people from the entrance was once again preventing invasion by foreign enemies..
-Cluck cluck cluck!
"Siege artillery salvo fired!"
Pre-modern infantry advances, supported by Kikkiruk armored artillery and futuristic robot weapons..
As soon as the war began, the Lionheart Federation Army War Knight Vulcan, who broke through the Gaema Plateau and came rushing in, was leading an army of over 50,000 people and attacking this ancient castle..
"Throw it away!"
Vulcan's flames swirl and turn into a skull-shaped fireball..
The fireball that was advancing as if it would devour everything in front of it was the power of the war god Fethos..
No matter how much it has been reinforced with the orcs' architectural techniques and strengthened by magic, it does not have the firepower that an old castle that has only been preserved for a long time can withstand..
-Quaaaaa!
Shanhaiguan shattered. China's cultural heritage boasting a long history was destroyed in an instant..
"Destroy!"
The troops marching, led by Vulcan and the Knights of the Burning Sword. As the elite knights and hunters took the lead, the orcs waiting behind the collapsed castle wall blocked them, swinging axes..
"lack!"
Vulcan confronted the leading orc with his bare body. The orc's strong body explodes..
The impact power of a horseback rider is the pride of a knight, but for a superhuman like Vulcan, it is more powerful to just hit him with his bare body..
But even with such a powerful charge, the orcs' wall of flesh is still thick..
"Hehe, there are a lot. There was so much pounding from all sides, but even without that, did this much come together?."
Beyond Shanhaiguan, the number of orcs flooding in was so great that it was tiresome..
"Lord Vulcan! Beyond, golem! Golems are coming!"
"hmm?"
Koo Dae-seong, who was following, pointed in the direction he pointed with his hammer. There were huge boulders moving there..
"Grara── Long time no see.."
-come!
-big rock face!
-big rock face!
Amid the cheers of the orcs, rock golems created by their shamans appear..
I thought the only real elites were the black orcs, but even among the orcs there were a significant number of shamans..
Reporters observing this battlefield swallowed their saliva as they filmed the two major forces beginning to clash in earnest..
Has there ever been a conflict between forces of this magnitude since the cataclysm?.
There were countries that were at war with each other despite the threat of Gate, but it ended up being a small-scale local war..
The first international war to take place in over 40 years since the Gulf War. But if there's one thing for sure──
"This war... will not end until one side is completely annihilated.!"
If the previous wars were based on practicality and ideology, this war was truly a war of annihilation of species..
