Steel eating player chapter 182
===========================
At that time, the Otris Mountain Humanity Unit was attacking two ‘Giant Living Houses’ at the same time, and was rather counterattacked.
“Something is flying from 11 o’clock!”
At the cry of a guard, the wizard players who were preparing their wide-area attack magic stopped casting and raised their heads.
At that moment, something heavy fell between the players, and a pile of dirt bounced off the ground.
“Ugh!”
It was a giant spear of a titan, and fortunately no one was hit directly by it…
“Damn it, change casting with magic shield—”
Whoa—–!
About 2 seconds later, a mana explosion occurred around the Geochang, and a blue air current broke through the area.
Players who were within that range rose into the air like fallen leaves swept away by a gust of wind and fell out, and desperate screams in search of a healer resounded everywhere.
and… … .
“Uh huh… it’s coming again! Hurry and avoid it!”
Like a baptism of missiles, giant spears covered the sky, and they began to descend relentlessly onto the lines of the Unification Force of Humanity in a parabola.
Fur-bur-bur-bur—!
“Damn, didn’t they attack?”
“I guess we were just mistaken, uh— avoid it!”
It was proved that even on the Titan side, they had a weapon capable of traversing a distance of more than 3 km.
I couldn’t figure out why he hadn’t used it until now, but it seemed like he was thinking of attacking from the other side.
That was a bad sign.
“Damn! Everyone, don’t go crazy, get ready for a massive magic shield!”
Soon, the wizard players joined forces to form a dome-shaped magic shield.
Thump- Thump- Thump- Thump-
The giant spears were blocked by the dome and bounced off, but I was only worried about making micro-cracks every time they collided.
“How long can you last like this?”
“… … In four minutes, it will be effective.”
At those words, sighs leaked out from everywhere.
“What? Bare, only four minutes?”
“Damn, their magic shields don’t break even after hitting them all day, that’s totally unfair!”
After 4 minutes, you will be exposed defenselessly to the Geochang Baptism again. … I had no choice but to retreat.
“That person, Alain Giam, was right…”
“Yeah, it was a pointless operation in the end, wasn’t it?”
It would be rather strange if I didn’t feel pessimistic in this situation.
“Ha— Where the hell is Stilane doing in a situation like this?”
“… … Didn’t you run away alone?”
The name Stilane, a name she had longed for a few hours ago, has now become an object of hatred.
And even then, it wasn’t just javelins that fell overhead.
Kugugugu… … .
“Uh- why is the floor moving all of a sudden?”
kooded——
The nearby ground shook, then turned over in an instant, and green vines spewed up like geysers.
“Uh, hey, what is that?”
“… … Are you a plant?”
Green Wave, few people knew about its existence, so the response was inevitably slow.
In other words, he had no choice but to be defeated by helplessness.
“Uh-huh!”
“Ouch!”
In the blink of an eye, dozens of people were caught by the green wave and dragged into the pile of vines.
It was impossible to ascertain what had happened above it, but a terrible scream erupted.
Knock- Knock- Knock-
After a while, as the red-drenched vines crawled out, I could have guessed what they had become.
“Hey! Don’t get too close to those tentacles!”
“Hey, what’s going on with this!”
A tens of meters of giant spear bombardment is pouring down from overhead, and man-eating vines of unfathomable size sprout from beneath their feet.
At this rate, it would be difficult to even avoid annihilation, let alone capture the ‘Victory Flag’ within the time limit.
“—Commander, you won’t last long!”
ROK AMT’s deputy commander, Colonel Kang-Seok Kim, shouted.
Hearing this, the commander, Lieutenant General Choi Jeong-cheol, wrapped his arms around his forehead with an expression of pain in his head.
“What a dilemma, Colonel Kim, do you think I should spend Semi Armageddon even now?”
The cooldown of ‘Semi Armageddon’, the ultimate magic of Archmage and Choi Jeong-cheol, is a whopping 24 hours.
After Lee Hyun-wook told me to save it, it disappeared somewhere, so I didn’t want to use it until he came.
However, 14 hours had passed since he disappeared, and there was still no news.
“I think those green tentacles are below the ground, so even the most powerful attacks can’t do a full blow.”
“Hmm, that’s right, too. To stop them… neutralizing the spellcasters is the answer, but Semi Armageddon alone won’t do it.”
In other words, even if you used Semi Armageddon, you could not avoid this crisis now.
Departures began to appear one after another from the camp of the United Nations Army, which was driven to the defensive.
“—Damn, we’re done! Hurry up and escape!”
Some players opened a short-range portal and started to escape.
This was a kind of desertion, but from the beginning, the United Nations Army had no command line to stop them because the chain of command was uncertain.
Those who had not yet left the camp had gathered in one place and blocked the approach of the Green Wave mainly with fire magic.
However, it was literally just ‘blocking’, and as the siege was gradually narrowed, the number of victims was increasing.
“Soon the magic shield will be broken!”
At this rate, no one could deny that hundreds of elite players would do nothing and be slaughtered.
“Write—Colonel Kim, I can’t do this… … .”
Even Commander Choi Jeong-cheol decided that it was more difficult to bear.
“If I give up Semi Armageddon and teleport all that mana, we’ll all get out together.”
“Yeah, it seems like it would be too much to hold on to—”
But then a small surprise happened.
“…Huh? They’ve stopped!”
Tsutsutsutsu…
Green wave, aren’t the vines pushing in like a raging wave drooping like dried seaweed?
“uh?”
As if someone had turned off the power, countless vines stopped moving in an instant, and even the players who responded to it stopped the same.
For a brief moment, silence passed.
Then a player shouted.
“-what are you doing! Now, gather all the remaining mana and focus on the magic shield!”
“Yeah, I don’t know what’s going on, but let’s stop the bombing of the giant spear for now!”
I don’t know what kind of change happened, but I couldn’t help but be happy.
And the reason why the green wave stopped suddenly was caught by the reconnaissance team’s magic drone.
– Chick— As a result of observations of the Giant Citadel, the Dark Elf forces have come to a sudden halt.
“… … Stop, what do you mean?”
Commander Choi Jeong-cheol, who heard the report, asked.
– Yes, it suddenly lowers its head like a frozen robot, does nothing, but the exact cause is still unknown. What is certain is that it appears to have become incapacitated in combat.
I couldn’t pinpoint the exact cause of that one scene, but it was certain that the green vines stopped because of it.
and… … .
“Isn’t that what Hyunwook Lee did?”
“Yes, I think so.”
It was a scene where I could be sure that he wasn’t just playing after disappearing without telling me for some reason.
However, apart from that, the morale of the Humanity Integration Army had completely fallen, and it was only natural that few people knew that Lee Hyun-wook was working.
“What are you doing? Let’s get out of here!”
“Yeah, this is never going to win.”
A larger number of players left the battlefield, and the dissolution was quick as they gathered voluntarily.
And Alain Giam also contributed to the dismantling.
He was still appearing on various TV shows, expressing the opinion that the siege was crazy.
even… … .
– Ah- players, I’m Alain Giam.
His voice echoed above the heads of the players who had been fighting for a long time.
When I looked up and checked, a drone was flying with a high-performance magic speaker attached.
– It’s not too late now, so hurry up and get out of that hellish scene! In the first place, the operation was nonsense! And Stilane has abandoned you!
“Yeah, I admit that now!”
“Keep, Steelein, I really believed…”
Up until this morning, even the players who supported Stillan, who regarded Alain Giam’s claims as political maneuvers, had no choice but to feel that his voice was right in this situation.
There were even voices calling for retreat from within the ROK AMT.
“… … Sergeant Min-tae Ahn, shouldn’t we also have to leave our unit?”
A private asked that, and Min-tae Ahn, now a non-commissioned officer, shook his head boldly.
“No, don’t listen to me.”
“Even so, the situation is…”
“I’ve been through this situation countless times before. Trust me because the reversal will happen soon.”
“Is that… really?”
In fact, it was just an unfounded belief even as Ahn Min-tae.
However, from his experience, he knew that Hyun-wook Lee would not let his allies get pushed back like this.
And I believed that no matter how many players were sacrificed, there was a reason for that, so it would be the foundation for a decisive shot.
“… … Obviously, there must be a reason why you have to stay here.”
– … … Guys, where is Steelein now? If you persist, you will be annihilated!
“Damn, it’s not helping, and it’s so noisy…”
He felt like shooting down that magic drone that was talking loudly above his head.
But then—
– Chic— Commander—
A voice came in through Choi Jeong-cheol’s mana messenger.
– Now, the time I said has come.
This voice… … It was none other than Lee Hyun-wook.
Choi Jeong-cheol sighed involuntarily and raised the mana messenger.
“Damn, hoo— I feel like I’m going to be bitter at you for the first time.”
– …….
“So, when are you coming?”
That moment-
– caution! An ultra-wide teleport ‘Wight Hall’ opens in the area.
Such a system message appeared in front of all players in the vicinity.
– … … Now.
Soon a gigantic white ring formed in the sky, and the space inside the ring shook like a crumple—
Whoa—-!
The sky opened with a bang and everyone raised their heads.
woo woo woo–
“… … uh? Now, who is coming?”
“Is that like a forest?”
The world beyond the Wight Hall seen from here was filled with only greenery.
Few people knew that it was the Berlin erosion zone, Green Hell.
But, at least, what the two giant swords that descended from there were, everyone knew.
“Isn’t that the one on the left, Mowglay?”
Today, it was the most famous and most powerful giant sword in the world.
With them on both sides, Styrene was slowly descending towards the battlefield.
“—Wow, here it is! Stilane, he’s finally here!”
The players were deeply dissatisfied with his absence, but the fact that he appeared could not help but raise strange expectations.
But behind him was a huge swarm of bees… … If you look closely, aren’t dark elves riding on the bees?
As a result, most players could not help but feel doubt and shock.
As far as they know, dark elves are unconditional enemies.
At that moment, Stilane’s voice resounded through the magic of ‘amplification’.
– Ah— Notify the Dark Elves in the Giant’s Citadel.
The whole battlefield and the whole world paid attention to his voice.
His next utterances were truly shocking and unexpected.
– I am on my way to conquer your dark elf kingdom now.
“what?”
“that is… … Does it make sense?”
The reason he hasn’t appeared until now is that he went to conquer the Dark Elf Kingdom, and is that a success?
All in all, it was hard to believe even as an ally.
– This is the proof.
When Lee Hyun-wook stretched out his left hand, a certain iron plate moved forward. A dark elf in armor was tied there.
Players who didn’t know who it was just blinked their eyes, but the Dark Elves, except for the Vinegard in the Giant Citadel, fell into a crucible of shock.
This is because the dark elf was the boss monster, ‘Great General’.
Two silver arrows were lodged in the nape of his neck, and the spear of Achilles was pierced near his heart.
That is, he was dead.
Doesn’t that mean that you’ve captured an enemy commander before you even start a full-fledged battle?
– And you’ll know that Vinegard has stopped. I mean, you guys are done. However, the royal family, who once again took over the throne, asked me to deliver it on my behalf, saying that I would forgive my sins if I made atonement even now and played a role in this war.
While speaking softly, Lee Hyun-wook opened his back and looked at the giant fortress in detail.
Most of the Dark Elves there will move according to the will of the 2nd Prince who is currently seated on the throne as ‘Vinguard’.
However, there were still quite a few dark elves who had free will, and they were followers of the ‘high general’.
‘And, they are spreading their item neutralization nets.’
It had to be limited, but by dropping Mowglay, he would be able to neutralize the magic shield of the Giant Citadel at once.
Whoa whoa–
While Lee Hyun-wook did not speak for a moment, the sound of an eul-like wind blew across the battlefield.
– So… … The choice to block my attack would be better not to do it.
After Lee Hyun-wook finished speaking, he stretched out his left hand and began to ascend slowly, with the tip of the 100-ton giant sword dropped to the floor.
What that meant was clear.
“Colonel Kim, order the entire army to prepare to march!”
At the call of General Choi Jeong-cheol, Kim Kang-seok raised the mana messenger, and the ROK AMT troops scattered here and there, and furthermore, all the players’ troops raised their weapons with pride.
Whoa whoa–
Meanwhile, Mowglay soared to an appropriate altitude.
And Lee Hyun-wook sensed that the ‘item neutralization net’ had disappeared.
“go-”
His left hand slammed to the floor, and Mowglay began a high-speed fall.
Sh-y-y-yy–!
Although he could not afford to climb to a low altitude, the giant sword had a ‘Hani’ attached to it, giving it acceleration with a whirlwind, and in just a few seconds, it plunged into the sound with a pop, and struck like a lightning bolt on the shield of the giant fortress. .
Wh-uh-uh-uh-uh–!
The magic shield of the giant citadel, which had not been broken even after hitting it with all kinds of magic for 21 hours, stretched like plastic and then collapsed.
Chop—come—come—come—come——!
And now, the Vinegard following the will of the 2nd Prince, the Green Wave they control moved in the opposite direction and seized the giant fortress, and the overwhelming pressure began to crack the wall the size of an apartment.
Then he dug into the floor and soared from the inside of the castle, and began to tie up the limbs of the titans that were lined up there.
They struggled and began to resist, but even the titans could not resist the Green Wave that had been ‘incubated’ for 21 hours.
‘Okay, it’s much easier if you tie your legs together.’
Hyunwook Lee raised the mana messenger.
“Commander Choi, please prepare Semi-Arageddon now.
At that moment, the world was forced to marvel at Stilane’s name once again.
The unbelievable thing happened: the giant’s fortress, which had not moved even after knocking for 21 hours, fell within minutes of his appearance.
Thus, the counterattack of mankind began.
