Chapter 246
The main force of the Silent Swordsman’s army.
With the goal of luring the enemy for the safety of the infiltration team, they were currently facing unexpected difficulties.
"The enemy is not being lured!!"
The enemy, who was supposed to be lured, could not be seen at all.
Despite having massacred the enemies on the walls with a sense of duty and directing attacks toward the city, the gathering of enemies was minimal.
It was understandable.
Even now, tremendous explosions were reverberating inside the city.
Boom━ Boom━
The sound of buildings collapsing.
The urgent call of a horn.
The sound of the monster guards being dispatched.
There were all kinds of sounds, but the sound that should have been heard, of enemies rushing toward the main force, was faint.
Dutda, who belatedly understood the situation, spoke.
"The Lord is in danger!"
"How long has it been since the Lord entered? Why were they discovered by the enemy already! These bastards must have already known we were coming!"
The monster knights never thought the Silent Swordsman would break buildings and advance in such a flashy way.
They nodded and agreed with his statement.
"If we're going to save the lady, we need to take a more aggressive stance."
"I'll make siege weapons for the sake of the human!"
"Wow! It's amazing that such things can fit into a pocket!"
"Right? Isn't it incredible?"
"Bragging later, we raid the streets. It's time to show the Red Legion the danger they face!"
The main force's aggressive advance to counteract the high noise level of the Silent Swordsman!
[The main force is invading the city.]
[Large numbers of corpses are discovered, and the streets fall into a state of panic.]
[The monsters in the area lose their will to resist and flee in all directions.]
"Stab them in the back!"
"Lord Cheonin, 30 guards from the eastern district are fleeing."
"Fire arrows!"
The guards who had been deployed to defend were being stabbed by spears and killed by arrows.
The confusion caused by the Silent Swordsman and Boogeyman, followed by the main force charging in, greatly amplified the damage across the city’s districts.
"We cannot let the Lord be surrounded. Leave the cleanup to the guest spirits and break through the enemy's ranks with the Red Legion!"
With the army's monsters targeting the follow-up troops and the guest spirits confirming the remaining monsters, the path traced by the Silent Swordsman began to illuminate in a wedge shape on the minimap.
The markers for the enemies vanished, replaced by markers for our troops infiltrating the minimap.
The city was engulfed in chaos.
In the field near the capital region of the Lower District, at the Capital Defense Command.
The commanding officer, having convened a staff meeting, ordered a briefing on the situation.
"Currently, there have been continuous reports of body discoveries, unexplained building collapses, and unidentified military forces appearing in the capital."
"Is this likely the result of a disaster-level legacy effect?"
"The list of known legacies we have doesn't include any compound effects like this. No high-level energy reactions associated with powerful legacies have been detected."
"What can a handful of bugs do?"
The Boogeyman’s hand-gesture dog struck the defense line, and within moments, barricades and skulls exploded, opening a path.
[The defense line has been breached by the Boogeyman's attack.]
[Noise level: High]
[Alert level: High]
[The Goblin tribe dreams of improving their treatment in the Lower District and rushes in to take credit.]
[The Goblin tribe, drawn by the commotion, rushes to another direction.]
[Powerful named monsters dreaming of climbing to the Ascension District rush in to take credit.]
[Named monsters, drawn by the commotion, rush to another direction.]
The main force had drawn enough attention, and the enemies blocking their path were few.
The Silent Swordsman and Boogeyman continued their advance, and soon, the airfield came into view.
By this point, the Boogeyman had realized something.
"Human. The airfield is that way."
The direction of the Silent Swordsman’s advance was different.
If they were aiming for the airfield, they would have to turn around.
But she did not stop.
She didn’t turn back.
She was only charging straight ahead, heading toward the faraway pillar in the center.
"Are you going to climb the pillar? If it’s just the two of us, there’s no need to use the pillar."
As the Boogeyman spoke, he suddenly realized something.
A laugh escaped as he shook the wardrobe door, overwhelmed with uncontrollable joy.
It was a crazy idea.
Undoubtedly reckless and inefficient. A fool’s errand.
‘So, are we not going to do it?’
At the Silent Swordsman’s look, filled with implied meaning, the Boogeyman’s energy surged even higher.
"Of course not."
No matter how absurd it seemed, if it looked interesting, they were bound to follow.
Curiosity is a feeling that all creatures possess.
Even animals living in the primal nature, not monsters, cannot avoid the powerful chemical reaction it causes.
"Let’s try it right away."
At the heart of the city, the Pillar of Ascension supporting the Daoist Paradise in the Ascension District.
What will happen if they break that pillar?
No one had ever done such an unprecedented act of terror.
For this, a human and a monster accelerated their pace.
