Chapter 23-Cataclysm (8)

Episode 23 – Cataclysm (8)

‘Poem, it has begun.’

The forest chosen as the battlefield began to be filled with screams and shouts from the goblins. YuRia, who was still hiding and watching the scene, twitched her lips in a mysterious feeling.

The goblins rushed confidently.

They are now in a state of panic when they encounter an unexpected enemy. Yuria clenched her fists, wanting to stand up as well, seeing the goblins who captured, humiliated, and trampled on her who had been betrayed.

[According to the calculation, the enemy’s vanguard has been destroyed. Although the follow-up of the enemies in the back row is coming, the prepared troops are gradually deployed.]

The Demon King, who commands all these battlefields through interim mixed command objects, proceeded with the operation steadily as he had simulated in advance.

‘If it’s like this, there’s no way the Demon King’s army will lose.’

YuRia saw that and swallowed dry saliva.

Because he knew in advance that the Demon King, who had accumulated countless battle experiences, did not rely on simple intuition or uncertain predictions, but used his unique computing power to calculate all numerous strategies and tactics and adopt the most likely one. Even the Demon King has dozens of plans in preparation for emergencies.

It was a way to break the conventional common sense. Not to mention, the goblins didn’t even notice the demon lord’s reconnaissance and handed over all their information.

It is common sense that accuracy increases as the amount of data increases. Thanks to this, the Demon King’s tactics caught the goblins off guard and instantly disrupted the balance of the battlefield.

“Clan, chieftain! There are too many of them. I can’t stop it!”

“So you’re trying to run away against these monsters?!”

While Yuria was watching the Demon King’s army trample the goblins, Raku, embarrassed in the midst of the panicked goblins, was furious at the thoughtful subordinate’s cry.

But the heat did not last long. It was because Raku himself was embarrassed beyond anger.

‘Of course, the demons are not. It’s not even magic. What are these?’

Looking around where he could only hear the screams of his allies, Raku broke into a cold sweat with shaky eyes.

“Spiders, too many… Kyaaagh!”

The goblin warriors, who somehow tried to unite and hold on, were attacked by a monster in the form of a giant spider, swinging its front legs.

The forelimbs, which were as long as the goblins’ spears, pierced the goblins’ bodies and disrupted the formation they were struggling to create.

“Stop it!”

As they hurriedly tried to close the gap, the massive four-legged animal jumped on the back of the spider and slashed the goblins with its strong claws and teeth.

Even if the goblins manage to subdue them by stabbing their spears through the cracks in the carapace, the surrounding formations have already collapsed with just one rampage. When the progression collapsed like that, the monsters, which were basically bigger than the goblins, pushed the battle line with their mass.

‘Is this possible?’

Raku was stunned when he saw it. When the monsters of various shapes combined and attacked, the destructive power was greater than that of goblins with weapons.

“Chief!”

“Aren’t these guys endless?!”

And at that moment, Raku, who was standing in a daze and watching the battlefield gradually turning into an abyss, fired a spell at a giant centipede that was rushing towards him.

The hard carapace unique to the Demon King’s Army, which was created from the back armor of the demon beast and pharynx, was also pierced by the sharp stone fragments loaded with magical power.

But Raku, who defeated the centipede, wasn’t happy at all.

“Coke. what is this again?”

“It’s poison, Chief. It shouldn’t stay like this. We must retreat. These monsters are not serious!”

The subordinate shaman shot a spell at the poison gas that had spread acridly around him, blowing it away with a gust of wind and urging Raku to retreat again.

“To retreat against these freaks? Nuru, you’re sane right now…”

“There is no way. There are too many of them, and our soldiers have no experience fighting monsters like that.”

Raku was furious, but his subordinate shaman, called Nuru, had a different idea. N’ru told him to retreat quickly.

“damn! retreat! Retreat!”

Eventually, Raku recognized that he had to avoid it for now. However, it is impossible to judge by paying attention to even the smallest details in retreating from group-to-group fights.

In that state, the demon army began to pursue the goblins who began to retreat in panic.

[Attack a pre-specified target.]

The demon king army was different from the goblins. Emotions do not exist, and they are neither terrified nor exalted with morale.

There was no setback in the counterattack by twisting each other or heading in the wrong direction.

‘This, this is something the King himself has to do. We need to let people know that there are terrible monsters growing in the Northern Forest that no one cares about!’

Many goblins were killed in the process of fleeing. There were more cases of being trampled to death by the same side than being killed by the Demon King’s army.

“Hey.”

Turning around, Raku was horrified to see Alpha, a triangular assault trooper with a body the size of a modest cabin, becoming contemplative and chasing the goblins, trampling and blowing them away.

[Run Phase 2.]

However, the Demon King’s army is just steadily stepping forward.

“You are winning. Hiding the bull when fighting in the woods and releasing it when chasing was also true.”

[However, if those who have joined those who have just entered the forest try to escape, it is impossible to pursue them to the end. So, as planned, we now execute phase 2.]

He was delighted with the atmosphere on the screen, but the demon king calmly tried the next step. Even if it was unavoidable to miss it a little, I couldn’t let it run away with all my power.

[I will mobilize flying species to block their path.]

The Demon King mobilized hundreds of flying species that had been on standby. The durability of flying species is clearly inferior to that of ground troops. However, it was enough to confuse the fleeing enemies by using their mobility and tie them to their feet.

“sky! It is heaven!”

“no. Clear the way… Kwaaak!”

Flying species based on monster bats and eagles glided over the heads of the goblins.

The panicked goblins brandished their weapons and fired spells into the sky, but the flying species never backed down. He was just throwing himself for a purpose.

[Soldiers carry out their mission even if their throats are cut or their wings fall off.]

Maul showed it to him and said as if he wasn’t proud of it.

[He is a true Demon King who never betrays and is loyal always and everywhere.]

“That’s right… I guess. After all, they are the ones who act according to your intentions.”

He watched the scene blankly and nodded. Certainly, what you see on screen is extreme.

Goblins screaming and struggling with urgent faces. As for the goblins, it is evident that they are terrified. On the other hand, the attacking Demon King’s army did not move at all.

Even if they are stabbed in their bodies or torn apart by witchcraft, they just silently do what they have to do. If you go to the end, it was a part where you could tell which side would collapse.

“for a moment. look at this This guy here.”

Then he noticed something on the screen.

[It must be a goblin knight dispatched from the center.]

The second game took place on the flat ground in front of the forest. Among the goblins, whose numbers dropped to less than half, there were those who fought against the demon king’s army with outstanding military power.

“They are strange people.”

Roach, a goblin knight sent directly by the Goblin King. He swung the sword in his hand at the body of the flying species that thrust sharp claws at him.

A single sword swung with flashing light. Then, the carapace of the demon army, which others could not easily cut, split, and the corpse of the flying species fell to the floor.

[Goblin Knight Commander Roach 1st Awakening lv 41]

‘The level goes up.’

After that, Roach killed several flying species to confirm one thing. The most important of these is the fact that even if you kill the demon army, experience points come in.

This is how you gain experience points and level up to strengthen yourself. This was the miracle they received from the saintess in return for betraying the demon king.

“But, Captain! leader!”

“Didn’t I say I was in too much of a hurry?”

Raku, who had fled with the defeated soldiers, hurriedly approached him. Frowning his face, he pushed away the poison gas exploding in all directions with the sword wind he summoned by swinging his sword.

“You must retreat. These guys are real monsters. After retreating, contact the king and…”

“No, we are not retreating.”

“What do you mean?!”

Raku, who was talking quickly, was taken aback and wide-eyed at his answer. But Roach had already made up his mind.

‘It’s an opportunity to level up. A chance to become stronger! I, I evolve more here.’

Ignoring Raku, who was suffering from the sight of dying soldiers and his own power dwindling in real time, Roach felt his heart pounding and grabbed his sword.

Growth through the levels felt right before the Great War. Unable to forget the thrill, he wanted to feel it again, literally a miracle. And for that, he needed someone to fight for.

‘I’ve become stronger… like a king.’

“Sit down and hold on. We will fight to the end!”

Excited, Roach jumped forward rather than holding his sword. Every time his sword, which shimmered blue for a moment, shone, the demon king’s body surrounded by that hard carapace was cut off like a tofu and collapsed.

It is clearly different from magic. However, there was someone in the Demon King’s Army who watched him closely.

[According to hypothesis #6, they don’t seem to run away. The reason for this is the goblin knights who were said to have joined from the center.]

“Come to think of it, I’ve heard rumors. They say that those who have been bestowed with the miracle of light by the saint become stronger the more they fight and easily overcome their limits. And the same goes for the demon lords who betrayed the demon king of the previous generation who sided with the saintess.”

[Phase 3. Intercept goblins with magical powers such as shamans, warriors, and knights.]

The Demon King decided to hunt them separately. It was to weaken the power of the enemies and absorb and accumulate mana.

[Yuria, can you handle that toxic strong goblin knight?]

“The realm of a black steel sword that shines blue… But I’ll try. If it were me now.”

The Demon King sortied Yuria, who had been waiting, as an opponent for Roach, the leader of the goblin knights. Because she was currently the only wizard in the Demon King’s army.

Of course, in the past, she wasn’t a very special magician, but now it’s been a long time since she became a completely different being.

[Then go. Other articles will be tied up.]

At the same time as the demon king moved her, the other units that were waiting also moved. They were thoroughly assembled for interpersonal marks.

The face of the battle began to change once again.
