How to Survive as a Player Chapter 49

#49

Other residents in the warehouse were scared and shouted. Everyone was already shaking, as if what happened yesterday had left them quite traumatized. Among them, there were some who were unwell because they could not receive treatment.

Rattling-

The Kural tribe, who came to the warehouse holding a spear and a sword, opened the door of the warehouse and opened the latch. Bright light poured into my eyes as if piercing my eyes.

“Everyone come out!”

The shouting voice sounded like a slave. Everyone frowned at those words, but they got up from their seats, muttering curses. Se-hyeon also stood up with support from Baek Do-hyeon and Kwak Jeong-han.

“Well, what happens to us…?” !”

“Please save me… Didn’t you say you would save my life…? .”

“Well… all… I’m going to die, huh… .”

The sound of the Kural tribe grabbing their trouser legs was heard here and there. Sehyeon slowly took his steps and got out of the stuffy warehouse. Humid air passed by the tip of his nose. As soon as he could take a deep breath, Lee Jae-young pushed Kwak Jeong-han away and instead stood close to support Se-hyeon.

“Hyung, do you just want me to piggyback on you? Should I give you a piggyback ride? “I can lift it, it’s true.”

“are you okay… “You can walk alone.”

As I stroked Jaeyoung Lee’s hair and looked ahead, I saw one side of the village going into shadow as if there was a lunar eclipse. Sehyeon’s eyes slowly rose to the sky. One side of the sky was covered with gloomy clouds.

Wide-open eyes pushed away the warm sunlight and chased the approaching black object.

“… rain… process… .”

Everyone’s eyes turned to the sky at Sehyeon’s words. The Kural people, who had installed a cannon in the center of the village and were firing shells, became busier with the Grand Duke’s shouts.

The airship broke through the fog and surrounded the sky above the village like dark clouds. The picture drawn on the airship fleet was of a coiled snake. The village was instantly bathed in shade by the appearance of a pitch-black airship with a huge gun port.

The airship’s muzzle clattering downwards was played in slow motion. Screams erupted from all over the place as the guns were aimed at the village. Among the screaming people who sat down with their heads covered, Sehyeon watched the Kural people aiming their cannons at the air force in a breathtaking manner.

Not all scenes felt real. It just felt like a scene from a movie, like a scene from a film. Se-hyeon was brought back to reality when words demanding surrender shook the village.

<I am Autumn, the king of the poisonous empire of Aka. If you want to live, I will demand that you surrender quickly. If you want the village and its residents to be safe, the king should show himself immediately and surrender quickly.>

The words coming out of the airship were threats urging surrender. Aka the poisonous empire. It was an empire I had already heard of. A miscellaneous empire made up of several races called ‘village hunters’. Se-Hyeon was also in a relationship with a bad relationship.

Sehyeon barely managed to control his shaking vision and looked for the Grand Duke of the Kural tribe. The Grand Duke was smiling as he glared at the airship with shiny eyes. One of his arms was raised into the air.

Everyone watched with bated breath. The moment his arm stopped pointing into the air, the Kural tribesmen stationed around him pointed a crackling torch at the wick of the cannon. It was an action without even the slightest hesitation.

No, they were images that transcended even the fear of death.

The lit wick burned out in an instant and flowed into the inside of the cannon where the gunpowder was. Soon, a cannonball was fired into the sky with a loud sound. It was dozens of cannonballs.

“Well, I… You foolish bastards… .”

Kim Gap-Jun’s sad voice came from behind. Sehyun also closed her eyes bitterly. All the cannonballs fired at the airship exploded before they even reached the airship. Everything exploded due to the external pressure of the magic stone emitted by the airship.

“Something like a cannon… Damn, is this okay?… !”

Kim Gap-jun continued to curse in words that sounded like sobbing. He, too, would have grown his empire by experiencing both good and bad times. No matter how much I hated it, there was no way the ending wouldn’t be sad.

<Is this the meaning of this village? Then there is nothing you can do… . Don’t blame me too much.>

In the space where the smoke from the cannon rose, the Kural people stood holding spears, seemingly forgetting even death. The same was true for the Archduke. They knew. He probably knew better than anyone that there was nothing he could do about airships with cannons.

Nevertheless.

<Aim for the entire army.>

The airship’s guns were aimed at various parts of the village, making a clattering sound with a heavy movement. Among them, there was a gun aimed at where Sehyeon’s group was standing. Everyone gritted their teeth and glared at the airship as if they were angry.

“… “I will surrender.”

Kim Gap-Jun smiled helplessly and trudged forward. In the current situation, the only answer was surrender. Sehyun also knew it well. Even if you resist here, the only thing that increases is sacrifice. Everyone knew that, so they didn’t stop Kim Gap-jun.

“… Gapjun Kim.”

“If you don’t want to die, stay there, you son of a bitch. “You’re just wandering around and talking shit to adults.”

“Mr. Gapjun Kim.”

“Oh, draw! why!”

Sehyun smiled weakly at Kim Gapjun, who was looking back at me. And he looked up at the black raincoat and spoke with difficulty, as if sighing.

“… please… “Surrender.”

“Oh, that’s why you’re going to do it!”

The screams of residents echoed behind me. There were also people who screamed for help. But nothing could stop the order that had already been given. Sehyun looked at the blue magic condensing in the airship’s magic cannon with blinking eyes. The light was so dazzling that it hurt my eyes.

“never… “Don’t rebel.”

“This son of a bitch is out of his mind right now.”

“and… .”

Amid the heartbreaking screams, Sehyeon reached out and gently stroked Jaeyoung Lee’s head. Lee Jae-young’s round eyes turned to Se-hyeon. Sehyun smiled quietly at Jaeyoung Lee as well.

“… While I’m away… “I need to ask some people.”

The moment the words that were coming out with difficulty came to an end, everyone’s trembling eyes turned to Sehyeon. It was like saying goodbye. Even Kim Gap-jun must have had a premonition of something, as he was looking at Se-hyeon with blank eyes.

However, Kim Gap-Jun immediately frowned. The lips that were parted in a daze also revealed fangs. However, Kim Gap-jun’s mouth, which was wide open, closed again without being able to say anything.

This was because I felt that the air around me was rapidly drying out. Kim Gap-Jun’s firm gaze turned to the airship’s magic cannon. I could feel the heat around the airship, as if it was going to melt. The light concentrated in the magic cannon exploded and a small core emerged within it.

As soon as Kim Gap-jun saw it, he rushed out. No, he was going to run away. Until a man jumped out of the sky, swept by the wind, and appeared to block the way.

The man who blocked Kim Gap-jun’s path was a man with silver-blue hair. Behind his frosty silver armor, a pair of wings of different colors were engraved like a national flag.

People knew what it was.

The man turned his back on Sehyeon’s group and slammed the huge sword on the floor. A vibration large enough to shake the ground spread around the sword.

And for a moment, it seemed as if everything had disappeared.

<Aim.>

Someone’s cold voice that seemed to resonate the world engulfed the village. One by one, all the people who had been stained with despair began to raise their heads. What came into view were numerous airships appearing as if colors were slowly being applied through the fog.

The white fluid of the airship was engraved with wings with the same pattern as those engraved on the back of the man with silver hair. The guns of the rainforests that broke through her fog began to clank in unison. And when the guns stopped aiming, all at once.

People saw hope.

<Firing.>

Kuang-

The place where the bright red light that exploded from dozens of guns was the airship fleet that had been aiming its guns at the village until the end of the war. However, at almost the same time, the poisonous empire’s airship magic cannons were fired at the village.

Kwaang-

The Kural people disappeared screaming as the magical cannon swept through the village and burned them. In the middle of the battlefield, where terrible screams rang out, the only place that was not damaged was Sehyun’s place.

It was thanks to the silver-colored man who blocked the group’s path. A blue membrane was created around the sword his man had sunk into the ground, deflecting all blows and nullifying any damage. Sehyun knew the name of that skill well.

<Blessing of Blind Faith>

It was a defense skill whose power increased the stronger the belief and determination to protect it.

Suddenly, it seemed as if the silver-blue man’s head was turned backwards. No, it was like our eyes met. The cold aura stayed so long that I hoped it was an illusion and then disappeared.

I guess so. Sehyun closed her eyes painfully and opened them, then her gaze rose to the sky where an explosion occurred. Not only Sehyeon but everyone’s eyes were turned towards that place.

<Black… Empire? Why is Behia… ! Everyone, open fire immediately! All troops fire immediately!>

A scream-like cry came out from the exploding airship. One by one, the airships, unable to even move, began to explode, emitting smoke and slowly falling downward. The power of the airship aircraft was at a different level from that of the poisonous empire. Just looking at the spacing and power of the magical cannons being fired, the gap was real.

Everyone watched it distantly and blankly.
