Chapter 89

Episode 89

Aldeon Fortress Strategy Conference Room.

The man stood at the entrance of the tent as if time had stopped. Gowon’s tactical map spread out over the wide conference table seemed to have absorbed his gaze for a while, and his eyes were fixed on one spot.

A map with strongholds planted with small flags along the contour lines and marked with different notations for notable terrain or monster haunts for a radius of several kilometers around the fort.

And while the man was familiar enough to cry with his eyes closed, the marks on the map flowed like a panorama in his head, while he could feel the things he had just experienced rise to the surface.

Giorno Di Yekachev The leader of Reconnaissance Team 6.

This time, it was the shadow sword that succeeded in reviving without fail.

“You managed to come back alive.”

Palak!

As a figure appeared while walking across the barracks across the street, Giorno raised his right fist to his chest and saluted. It was a familiar face, but after seeing thousands of monsters, it seemed unfamiliar.

The horsehair-haired man with neatly combed silver hair is his superior in name and reality, Mikhail Sinister, the leader in charge of this Aldeon Fortress.

“I heard you found me. Judging by the appearance, there must be a reason for that.”

“It’s embarrassing, but it is.”

When Michael nodded at him, Giorno responded with silence. Cracked and torn clothes were almost like rags, but now there were things more important to him than formalities and procedures.

Even at this moment, it was so urgent that I felt uncharacteristically nervous, so fighting over the urgency to the point that even if Mikhail gave an order to the fortress right away, it would not be enough.

“If you, the so-called Shadow Sword, look like this, you must move your troops, right?”

“yes. You have to do that right now.”

Flash!

Eventually, as Giorno raised his head in silence and radiated lustful eyes, Mikhail sat down at the conference table with a tactical map spread out and interlocked his hands.

“Since you say that, where should I listen? What the hell do you have to do right now?”

Despite the indirect circumstances that could be known from Giorno’s face and eyes, he seemed very carefree.

“They are coming. The distance is about 6 km. The advance from the southeast of the fort. The size is at least in the thousands. It seems to have originated in the leylines of the Great Mountains of Gais and in the unreconnoitred areas of the plateau, but it is not certain.”

“What is the composition of their troops?”

“Berthas ghouls and some Tier 3 monsters encountered many Tier 1 monsters, the Stitched Devourer, and lost half of the men in my scouting party. In addition, level 2 monsters such as the Obliterator have also been observed...

”

“yes. Fortunately, it is not included in the composition of the troops of the monsters that are currently advancing, but even that cannot be guaranteed.”

“If that’s true...the situation isn’t so good.”

As Mikhail thoughtfully brushed his chin with his hands clasped, Giorno kept his mouth shut.

It was an urgent situation, but he had done all he could.

Even though they are the sword of the Empire and the elite of the elite who are running at the forefront of the common defense front of mankind.

The only person leading the night crows was a man reminiscent of a silver lion in front of him.

As far as Aldeon Fortress, Giorno knew that a word from Mikhail Sinister could surpass that of Emperor Adelecia von Walcroft.

One could only hope that as soon as possible, Mikhail would issue an emergency order to the entire army and a combat readiness posture.

It wasn’t just normal tier 3 monsters like Berthas Ghoul and Gyros Swatcher.

With the exception of the Knights of the Night Crow, Boomer, a level 2 monster who avoids direct conflict.

It was because the appearance of the ragged predator, a first-class monster classified as the most high-risk group, meant that the matter was serious.

‘Furthermore, if you keep in mind that there was a traitor among the adventurers who applied for the defense...’

Back!

When Mikhail seldom gave orders, Giorno clenched his fists.

Mysteries from the past were running through my mind.

The betrayal of Amoeba King, who was a member of the reconnaissance team 6, and the desertion of Jeungsansinup, who was classified as a pioneering team, were nothing but personal grudges against Damian.

What they caused was coming back as a wave so big that the ripple effect could never be said to be small.

To Giorno, who was unaware that the advance of the monsters he had just reported to Mikhail was caused by turpentine.

In addition to simply defending the fortress, the existence of other variables could not help but be a great burden for individuals and groups.

“Light bulb woo woo woo woo-!! Get ready for battle!”

ridge! ridge! ridge! ridge! ridge!

As the sound of the drums resonated with a sharp roar, the entire fortress began to move in perfect order.

At first glance, it was an organic movement like one body.

Above this plateau of darkness and severe cold, where it was impossible to tell whether it was day or night.

The frost-covered fortress, which represents only human territory, was about to wake up from a deep slumber.

Let it soon begin to be wrapped up in the deep blue light of dawn from the pale outer wall of the faint moonlight.

Reconnaissance Team 6, including Hyeeun, was finally able to recognize what Giorno said about the beginning of the battle.

“This is...”

“Aldeon Fortress...?”

The fortress, which had been quiet as if a rat had died, had not shown any significant activity.

Right now, according to Mikhail’s order, the dignity of the common defense front of mankind was being displayed on the plateau.

– Chewy Cheonduk: Matched, matched, matched, matched, matched; matched; matched;

– Spinning bald head: Is this a true story of Transformers

these days?

– Kkyumjoa: How many kids participated there? It seems like a lot.

– Seonbi Imdung: Is there a streamer that supports 4k quality?

– Hello, I’m Hye: Let’s go! Let’s go! Let’s go! Let’s go!

-Hyungumachael 2400: Do you stir-fry the meat well?

....

As the fortress of Aldeon went into war, internet broadcasting platforms including switches began to explode at once.

It started when the streamers, who had predicted the battle for the defense of Aldeon Fortress, hurriedly turned on the live.

Although there were no streamers openly commenting due to the strict atmosphere and control.

The advanced magical engineering products that are currently unfolding in front of us had no splendid corners enough to surprise the viewer.

“Oops. It’s a bit unfortunate.”

“What?”

“Demian-nim should see this scene once.”

“...”

And Hye-eun felt the image of Damian passing by at the words of Nowon Dandy Nam who was muttering to Chocojoa.

“Run! Go first!

J [Yeah?!]

[I won’t say it twice!!!]

Although I couldn’t bear to look at how they were fighting.

It was because his voice, who claimed to earn time in the mayhem that would have cost him his life if he did, was circling in Hye-eun’s head.

‘Then why did you do something that doesn’t suit you...’

Back!

And as if Hye-eun was shaking off Damian’s voice, he hit it with a hammer.

The moment he squeezed the handle of his exclusive weapon, the epee.

“Come, Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh !!!!”

“...!”

Suddenly, someone’s sharp voice resonated over the fort’s air, and at the same time, black things began to come into view in front of Hye-eun’s party standing on the watchtower.

“The ghouls....”

“There seem to be thousands of them!!”

The wide expanse of land in front of the fan-shaped fort was covered to the point of colorlessness, and the advance of the monsters heralded the beginning of the war.
