143 It's been three years now, but I don't even know what the future holds.

The plains in front of Crete Fortress are crawling with the corpses of Reel Spider. I took out all the troops and equipment, but I was only able to clear the coast and nearby the fortress, and I had to leave the rest alone. I can't dispose of more than 300,000 dead horses in less than two days.

So we just pulled out the chaos piece and roughly finished it. Hundreds of thousands of reel spiders were coming here soon, so they couldn't just hang on to the body.

And the next day, the next day, the battle continued.

I could no longer afford a moment after the first battle. It's because Spider Queen is determined to target Fort Crete and continues to send a group of reel spiders.

But we were definitely prepared. The battle was fought with enough essence, so the horsepower of the equipment was not exhausted, and there were plenty of other battle supplies.

Moreover, the longer the battle lasted, the more Chaos pieces we could get. This means more essence for battle.

If there was only one problem, it was fatigue in the ongoing battle. No matter how hard you rotate, the tension and fatigue caused by constant combat tires the soldiers out.

But it was only for a few days. Humans aren't the only weaknesses.

Eventually, the eighth day after the first battle. The group of reel spiders withdraw from attack on Crete Fortress.

Of course it was. You can't risk extinction on your own to catch us.

But it was also a path of self-destruction for Reel Spider. I had no intention of keeping any of the Reel Spiders alive. I continued to stir them up and eliminate the remaining hordes of them. As soon as I got rid of the dead horses in front of Crete Fortress, I marched straight to Zabbol Fortress.

“Don't you think you're being bold? ”

A hill overlooking Jabbol Fortress.

I disdainfully looked at Nazir's troops as they moved around the rooftop of the building during the Great War. No matter how large a herd of reel spiders are occupying the Jabbol Fortress and getting air support from the floating fortress, it seems dangerous to be battling with me outside the rooftops.

It was a very favorable situation, of course, but it didn't have to be risky. Honestly, I could hide in the building and fight, but in the end, I was able to get rid of all the reel spiders in the fortress.

“Bayan! Adan! ”

On my call, Bayan and Adan came forward.

“Yes.”

“Immediately enter Jabbol Fortress. Prepare to march.”

“Yes, I understand. ”

I soon entered the Jabbol Fortress with Bayan and Adan's troops. The first force to enter the fortress was an armored horsepower. They jostled around the Jabbol Fortress with eight wheels.

The courageous men and horsepower troops that followed took over the fortress, gradually eliminating reel spiders that the armored cart had never been able to defeat.

“Hey! Everyone, welcome! ”

In every building, Nazir's men came out to greet us. I guess people missed him because he had been stuck underground for months.

Soon after, the reel spiders are fully organized, and all the gates are sealed shut. It was the moment we retaliated against Jabbol Fortress, which had been handed over to them for more than two months.

Soldiers shouted for victory today.

“Sir!"

Nazir came out of the underground shelter and approached me. I stared at him.

“Nazir. I told you to fight safely inside the building, didn't I? ”

Nazir scratched his head.

“I'm sorry. I miss my men being trapped in basements and buildings. ”

“Even so. As a commander, you should always try to increase your maximum efficiency with minimal damage. If we wait a little longer, we can get rid of the drugs safely, but we don't have to put ourselves at risk, right? ”

Nazir shrugs, making sure she's dead.

“I'm sorry."

“But I was good at looking at the whole thing. Thanks to you, we were able to understand the movements of the large group of reel spiders, and the intercept eased our collective pressure. This is a big ball, so there will be a reward as soon as this is over. ”

I went to the end and finished with a compliment.

While at Fort Jabbol, Najr's forces defeated a large number of reel spiders before the guerrillas went through the underground passageway, and alerted HQ to the movement of a large group of reel spiders across Fort Jabball.

As you can see, it was a big role, so it was worth it.

“Thank you."

“Then let's go inside. We have something to talk about. ”

“Yes.”

Later, I took Bayan and Nazirmann into the Fortress Command building and held a brief strategy meeting.

Nazir asked me a question.

“But where are the foreign reinforcements and the Central Church reinforcements? ”

“They're guarding Crete Fortress now. ”

I've still got a large force stationed at Crete Fortress.

The number of people killed in this battle is roughly 1.2 to 1.3 million. As I expected, the Reel Spider horde was still half as powerful.

That's why I couldn't bring the whole force here to Jabbol Fortress.

You could have been heavily attacked by a large group of reel spiders after gathering all the troops in Zabbol Fortress lacking combat supplies.

And Crete Fortress was the rear base of Fort Jabbol. If we clear Crete Fortress and are attacked by them, we lose our supply lines.

“So what are you planning to do next? ”

“Well, think about that. What are you going to do? ”

In my question, Nazir and Bayan looked a little embarrassed.

“Yes?”

“You have to catch the rest. How long are you going to rely on me for? ”

“But aren't there still plenty of reel spiders left? ”

“That's just a dog with a tail. Once you step back, you won't be able to inflict the same amount of damage. So you guys are good enough. ”

Nazir and Bayan open their eyes wide.

“On our own? What about you?”

“We put out the fire in a hurry, so I should probably get going. He's a busy man to know me. ”

I was going to leave the end of this battle to Bayan and Nazir. It was their job anyway, and we ran all the new weapons tests on the stuff.

Besides, they have to grow up as commanders. When the age of destruction comes, they must fight the battlefield. Then everyone must fight together.

“Well, what are you going to do? ”

I asked him a question, and he quietly snapped his jaw.

“I think we should head out to the guard for a while. ”

Nazir was in on it.

“I agree. There are still a lot of them left, so I think it's better to keep their numbers down as we do more damage with the stimulus than with the aggression." ”

I thought the same thing.

There are still plenty of reel spiders. It was decided that it was better to leave the water based on a fortress than take risks and go into violence.

Of course, it would have disrupted the development schedule of Jores Island, but it was not something to worry about.

This is the south-western part of the island of Jores, a region that was completely free from the aftermath of the great swarming of flying magic during the apocalypse, and the development plan had yet to develop a small harbor that would move fortifications and construction materials to be the base of killing magic.

“And?”

Bayan stepped up and said,

“We need to find Spider Queen. ”

“That's right. We must find and eliminate the Spider Queen before this subjugation is complete. As long as he's alive, Reel Spider will be born. ”

Nazir added something.

“And make sure they don't get past Chaos Piece and Essence. ”

Magical objects appear indiscriminately in this world, but once they are counted, they need Chaos pieces or essence to be their source.

That's why if reel spiders were to be kept from getting chaos pieces, they wouldn't be able to breed their kind.

“How?”

“Once we get rid of the other stuff as we see it, we'll have to be very careful not to let them take over our essence. ”

Bayan nods, thinking the same.

We had an enormous amount of essence. When these essences are passed on to Reel Spider, they grow exponentially.

Of course, it would take a long time for the herd to be called to its previous level, but it was not a bad thing to be careful.

“Right. So don't lose if you can. And if you think you're going to lose, quickly evacuate the underground shelter. That way, they won't get our essence. ”

“Yes.”

I said it neatly.

“Anyhow, just grab Spider Queen and it's all over. The other reel spiders have no reproductive capabilities. ”

“Yes, I understand. ”

I looked back and forth between Nazir and Bayan.

“And by the way, When you get a chance, learn how to drive. ”

“You mean like driving a magic car? ”

“Yes. I thought this battle was going to be a good use for a magic armored car. Soon your troops will be reunited with mechanized infantry troops, so drive through the gaps to defend Fort Jabbol. And your henchmen, too, okay? ”

“Yes!”

The Glove Magic Vehicle is large enough to fit a total of 10 people, including the driver. It weighs a lot thanks to its iron gloves.

The number of essences required per capita is 6.

In total, it took more than 600 magical armor vehicles to carry all of the six thousand troops of Bayan and Nazir, so it could take around 4,000 of the best essences to catch them.

I was going to try, though it cost me a fortune to rebuild the army. Mechanized infantry will do great things in the age of destruction.

“Hey! What should I do now?" ”

Suddenly, Hubeio bursts into the conference room in a rage. Seeing my body flutter and gushing through my nostrils while putting me in front, I was quite angry.

“You. What's wrong with you? ”

“Joe, graduation ceremony · · · · · · · ·. ”

“Huh?"

“The graduation ceremony is over! The graduation ceremony of the Imperial Noble School! ”

I rolled my eyes.

The Empire Noble School graduation ceremony is in the early spring. Judging by the date, it seemed to be roughly a full day. That means that Hubeio's favorite woman has already graduated and has returned to the territory, and now the opportunity for the two of them to meet has become very operational.

Of course, missing the best time to confess is definitely an option.

You can see that I did something terrible to my only friend, but I was distracted first.

“Damn, I forgot! ”

Hubeo gives me a sharp shot.

“Tsk. You're still sorry, aren't you? ”

I swung my hand and touched my forehead.

“Not that one. ”

“Then?”

“The third anniversary. ”

I started feeling nauseous. It was a neurotic abdominal pain after three years ago.

Now there are five years until the age of destruction.

“Huh? Three years? Are we going to graduation? ”

“Khh. There's that! Ah · · · · · ·. Isn't it?”

As I was screaming, I blinked at the thought of touching the brain. Suddenly, my stomach aches and my energy spills.

It's because the bear didn't have to worry much about the age of destruction after five years.

Why? History is likely to change.

‘Well, as long as your sister's friend is fine, we won't have any problems for a while. ’

If Savondia is not caught, there is no reason for her massive amount of essence to pass on to Chronos, so the Divine Coming Event is largely postponed. And if Savannah's plan succeeds, the god who destroys the world can come to this world in decades.

I didn't have to have a stomach ache just because it was this time. Now I'm living in a history that I don't even know I've experienced in the future.

“Oh, I see. Now I don't know. ”

Hubeo approaches slowly.

“What is wrong with you? ”

With a cheerful face, I put my forearm on Hubeo's shoulder.

“Son, something like that is happening. For me, for you, for all mankind. ”

“Huh?"

“You don't have to know. Hehe. Anyway, don't worry too much about missing graduation day. Besides graduation, we still have a good chance. ”

“A good opportunity? When?"

I replied with a sparkle in my eyes.

“St. Prosia's Day. ”

“Ah! I see! ”

Hubeo claps his hands, making sure he finally understands.

St. Prosia's Day is a whole continent of newly grown aristocrats instead of divinum. To be a Guardian.

And she was a new adult when she graduated this year. Of course, I was very likely to stop by before Divinum on Prosia Day.

I stomped on Hubeo's back.

“I'll go with you and cheer you on, so try it well. ”

Hubeo's gaze flashes toward me, and he gives me a sudden burst of anxiety.

“What are you doing here? ”

“Just.”

When I made a strange look, Hubeo held out a great deal.

“Hey! Don't come. You should never have come. ”

“Why?”

“You're supposed to get rid of reel spiders here, aren't you? How dare you follow me? ”

“It's okay. I was going to leave the rest to Nazir and Bayan here and go back to Kara anyway. ”

“Then go back to Kara. ”

I shook my hand across.

“No. Suddenly I have to go before Divinum does. ”

“Why the hell are you going there? ”

“I think I need to see Lord Burg now. The Central Church also needs to thank you for sending out the troops this time, and to discuss some of the development plans for the island of Jores. That's a lot of work to do. ”

Hubeo frowns.

“You really! ”

“It's a government. It's not personal. ”

Hubeo sweeps his face off the ledge. Well, I have an official who wants to go before Divinum, but there was no reason to stop Hubeio from coming.

“Can't you ever do anything worthless instead? ”

“Hey, buddy. I'm a busy man. We don't have much time to deal with government officials. ”

“Are you sure?”

“Yes.”

Hubeo smiles.

“Good. Got it. Do you?”

“Yes, I do. I would never do anything. ”

I smiled warmly at anxious Hubeo.

Does Hubeio know? My noble sacrificial spirit of willingness to serve for the love of a friend. I was going to help Hubeo's love bear fruit in the shade on both sides.

‘Hubeio, you bastard. Don't cry thanks later. ’
