The Academy's Barbarian-Chapter 219
(1)
1.
Immediately after the emergency meeting.
The Ulan party finished preparing to depart for the canyon. Soon, the selection of the final number of participants in the punitive force began..
The number of people in the organization was as follows.
Ulan and Noah, Ibela, Dillia and Pertisia.
Professor Melt in charge of train management. Owen and the knights who escort him. In addition, the Henes team to manage the magic armor (魔道機甲).
A punitive force consisting of about 20 people in total.
It was a very small number to face against thousands of enemies, but it was unavoidable..
If the magic-powered train grows in size, it will slow down that much, and then they'll have already crossed the canyon..
‘In the first place, the opponent is the undead.’
Even undead with the curse of immortality.
If you don't do it right, you won't be able to fight properly and you'll end up only increasing the enemy's forces..
‘Less is better than that.’
This means that only a small number of cases are the answer..
To be honest, I didn't want to take Owen and other mid-level knights with me..
However, considering the safety of Professor Melt and the engineers, this is also an unavoidable choice..
some time after that.
“Power source operation completed!”
“Activate the power line!”
“the train is leaving!”
At the signal of the engineer's shouts, the tightly closed iron gate opened. After that, the horsepower-powered train carrying the party began to run vigorously..
“We will take care of the next operation..”
It was a natural distribution of roles..
Professor Melt is the person who created the magic-powered train, and he is more knowledgeable about trains than anyone else gathered here..
Afterwards, Owen and several other engineers headed to the engine room together. It was to focus on escorting, which was their original mission..
“Then we will excuse ourselves.”
“There is a lot to do to collect combat data and find out the damage rate according to the situation..”
Engineers who manage magic armor.
The Hennes team also went on a mission.
Afterwards, only Ulan and the others were left in the empty cabin. However, there was no time to relax because the battle had not yet begun..
Because they also had work to do.
“Then I will explain the operation..”
Noah with a map open on his desk.
It was a detailed military map of the surrounding area. She departed from the northern border and pointed to a gorge halfway up the road to Flute..
“This is the canyon that Sergeant Cedric crossed over with his flying magic, and this is where we'll soon be fighting..”
On the other hand, the monsters chasing the sergeant would not be able to use flight magic, so they would have naturally passed through the bottom of the canyon and crossed over to the other side..
“I judged that this process took about half a day..”
“Why did you decide that?”
“That's about the time Sergeant Cedric took a break before arriving at the flute..”
Unlike witches who have infinite physical strength unless their magical power is depleted, Sergeant Cedric's physical and magical limits are clear..
So, I had no choice but to repeat the short break, and when I add up all the rest time, I get about half a day..
“Afterwards, when the sergeant reached the flute, the distance between him and the witches narrowed again. So he figured it was half a day.”
It's a reasonable guess.
Except for Ulan, the group nodded as if they understood Noah's story..
“If it's half a day…….”
“arrival, expected, time, similar.”
“huh. They'll probably go into battle as soon as they arrive, without even having time to set up their fortifications..”
So if you want to discuss the strategy, you should do it in advance while you have time. Noah retrieved the map spread out on her desk and spoke again..
“The overall flow of the operation is the same as it has been. When I create a barrier and gather enemies, Dillia blows them away..”
Next, when the battlefield is devastated, Ulan and Ybela sortie and subdue the remnants..
As Noah said, this is a strategy that has been used many times in the past. Is that why? The Ulan party all looked familiar..
But then.
Noah added a new condition.
“But this time it's a little different than usual.”
“hmm? different?”
“This time, the undead are mixed in. So everyone needs to share their roles..”
Undead are resistant to magic.
In addition, the undead created by the Lord of the Undead have stronger resistance. In other words, it means the worst compatibility with Dillia..
There are two ways to completely get rid of the undead.
“Divine power, and spiritism..”
In a word, only Perticia and her contractor, Ulan, can destroy the undead..
In this fact, the party immediately understood what Noah meant by the division of roles..
“I, as much as possible, must aim for only the number of demons..”
“Then the undead will be mine.”
Dylia and Ulan spoke in turn.
Noah nodded his head silently as if he was correct. Afterwards, she concluded the conversation..
“The basic operation is over. In the event of an unexpected situation that arises later, I will deal with it while looking at the situation..”
“i get it. don't do that.”
“yeah i got it too.”
how long has it been like that?
After discussing the strategy and when each of them was servicing their weapons, the Henes team returned to the cabin..
“Guys, I've been waiting for a long time!”
“Just finished all checks.”
“Let's go check it out together!”
It was with the good news that the final inspection of the magic armor to be worn by the Ulan party was over..
2.
At that time, Eastern Jungle.
Sven, who left Schulfern for reconnaissance, grasped how the war situation was going..
and finally realized.
The reason why monsters have recently appeared frequently.
Furthermore, what is the reason why the monsters had no choice but to leave their habitat?.
‘……undead.’
When he first set foot in the jungle, there was not even a trace of the undead..
However, from a certain point onwards, it gradually began to appear, and now the frequency of appearances has clearly increased compared to that of the Demon Beast..
‘It must have been this morning.’
The number of undead increased exponentially from the time dawn broke and dawn broke..
As a result, the eastern jungle was filled with the spirits emitted by them, and the beasts who could not bear it left their habitat and came out..
This was Sven's conclusion..
‘a few more here.’
There were new facts.
The fact that the undead moved out of the jungle in groups. They moved their feet busily as if they had a clear destination..
‘looked like an army.’
It's not just the undead, it's an orderly movement that's presumed to be a commander.
This fact made Sven instinctively feel uncomfortable. So he immediately decided to stop scouting and leave the jungle..
‘I have to tell Milena.’
The undead cannot be defeated by ordinary means. It can be subdued only when there is a weapon made of silver or an existence that uses divine power..
So, I had to come up with a countermeasure as soon as possible before the undead attacked Sulfern..
The moment I tried to get out of the jungle.
“……!”
Suddenly, his expression hardened..
At the same time, Sven, who had disappeared from the top of the tree, immediately jumped to the ground, giving up hiding his presence..
Then at that moment.
Kwadeuk! Wooddeuk!
The tree on which Sven had just been sitting was crumpled. As if squeezed by a great invisible hand.
This is absolutely not natural.
As soon as I realized that it was someone's attack, a strange voice suddenly tapped my ear..
【I never thought I would come here on my own.】
A voice scratching an iron plate with a blade.
What followed was a giant eyeball..
An unknown monster that Sven encountered by chance near the jungle after a battle in the past. He's also the guy who couldn't hunt because he couldn't find a weakness..
‘and…….’
It wasn't just eyeballs that appeared..
Unidentified group in gray robes.
Sven narrowed his eyes as he found those hiding behind the eyeballs..
‘human? is it a wizard?’
The smell peculiar to magical power stings my nose.
Soon Sven was scanning the surroundings at high speed, closely observing the assailants. It was to determine the size and location of the enemy..
‘number is eight.’
There were two eyeball monsters in the north and south respectively around him, and six men surrounded him as if besieging them..
What are you guys doing? I'm neither a demon nor an undead, so why are you attacking me??
A series of questions springing up. However, there was no time to continue worrying..
【Sixth Star, Sven Isaac.】
【I will annihilate you according to the king's order..】
Finally, the cold notice.
It was because I felt the threatening energy again. Sven quickly kicked the ground, and soon the spot he was in dented again..
‘I don't see any attack either..’
Even so, the reason Sven was able to avoid it was because his body reacted to the murderous intent..
really tricky skills.
In fact, running away was the best thing to do in this situation, but I couldn't. It's because the men in the gray robes have been putting pressure on them..
‘then rather…….’
Even if it means giving up the flesh and taking the bones, let's secure a way to escape and escape..
Right after you've made your decision.
Sven immediately freed up space.
Then, after dodging the ensuing intangible attack, he quickly drew the bowstring..
Papababababak!
Rain of arrows pouring in the blink of an eye.
A flurry of arrows slashed through the air, announcing the start of the battle..
3.
some time after that.
The place where Ulan and his party arrived is the last car of the train. This is where the supplies needed for subjugation and the magical armor brought from the plume workshop are stored..
“Alright then I'll open the door!”
Engineers with elated faces.
After a while, the thick iron door opened and a total of three magic armors appeared..
The masterpieces of the Henes team prepared for Ulan, Dilia, and Ibela, respectively. The first thing they introduced was Dillia's magic armor..
“As you can see, all repairs are done.”
“In addition, the helmet and head parts that were broken in the last test were definitely reinforced..”
one more here.
There were some differences from before. The engineers continued their heated explanations with their eyes shining..
“Oh, and it's a new realization, there's no need to enhance mobility for magic armor worn by wizards..”
“So, at the cost of slightly lowering mobility, we increased the armor of the exoskeleton significantly..”
The last test made engineers realize.
The fact that the magical armor worn by wizards does not necessarily have to be made the same as that of knights..
Therefore, transformation and remodeling were carried out by taking advantage of the wizard's characteristics and advantages as much as possible, and in this way, Dillia's unique magic armor was completed..
“Next, this is a lightweight magic armor specially made for Ibella cadets..”
Shortly after it was revealed through Ulan that Ibela had reached Expert, the Henes team came up with an additional magic armor for her..
Of course, it wasn't made from scratch, it was just a modification of the existing magic armor, but.
“Contrary to Cadet Dillia's magic armor, we lowered defense and maximized mobility..”
“Just don't worry.”
“Even if your defense is low, you can lightly block the attacks of the undead..”
This is also the fundamental reason for providing magic armor to the three. So engineers plated the exoskeleton of all the sorcerers with silver..
This is to prevent undead attacks from penetrating the magic armor and reaching the wearer..
“Alright, now finally…….”
“Ulan Cadet's Sorcerer's Armor.”
It's Ulan's turn to return at last.
At the appearance of the magic armor that appeared shortly after, everyone in the party, except for Ulan, widened their eyes..
“……!”
the reason was simple.
Because the size of the magic armor has doubled compared to before. On the other hand, unlike the others who looked surprised, Ulan smiled silently..
It was a very satisfying smile..
