Before the barrier collapses.
Kalanta was watching the battle between the two veterans from atop a towering rock. The emotions the commander orc felt were so complex that the telescope he was holding trembled.
General Lemonlive, who killed the Orc King who was supposed to be born with him. I was filled with a desire for revenge against him. However, I also naturally felt a sense of awe at the overwhelming power he was radiating.
“Calanta, how about you get me out of here first?”
Nerheim’s voice rose from beneath the rock. She was still trapped in a cage made of orc bones.
“I’m giving you this advice because I think it will be good for your health as a general.”
“Why is that so?”
“Why would the general come forward himself? He came to resolve the current situation, that is, to help General Kalanta. If the general moves, it means that it is in line with the will of the imperial army. Furthermore, it is also because he holds the imperial mandate.”
Kalanta leapt down from the rock and looked at Nerheim. Normally, Nerheim should not have noticed the appearance of the general. In her current suppressed posture, she would not be able to secure a view.
“You know the general is here.”
I must have seen it through the transfusion recipient’s ability. I tried to prevent that by knocking him out whenever I could, but I ended up allowing an opportunity in the midst of the urgent situation.
“You’re not trying to knock me out again, are you?”
“How much fighting have you seen over there, Nerheim?”
“Until an old man barged in… From then on, even the beasts I commanded couldn’t come near me.”
Her beasts were terrified by the overwhelming pressure flowing out of them. They could have been forced back in, but they would have burned up in the heat of the battlefield.
“Then you don’t know who that old man is either.”
“Yes, I don’t know who it is. Whoever it is, the General will end it soon.”
Could that really be the case? Nerheim didn’t know, but Kalanta knew that the fight was going differently than expected.
Lemonlive is giving it his all, unlike when he fought himself. Even he is having a hard time subduing the mysterious old man.
‘But it is a fact that Lemonlive came to help the Orc legion.’
Just hours ago, Kalanta had decided to declare the Empire an enemy and build an Orc-only fortress. In the meantime, the monsters had appeared and were advancing.
“Look at that barrier, Kalanta.”
“… … .”
Nerheim was trying hard to get out of the cage.
“A barrier of that level will easily hold off the monsters for three days. In the meantime, move your legions and annihilate all the beastmen in the area.”
As the saying goes, the barrier seems sturdy. Perhaps the material of the barrier has some kind of property that oppresses monsters, as most of the monsters are unable to even attack it.
Kalanta glanced around.
Far away, on the horizon, countless people were waiting. They must have numbered in the tens of thousands, but it seemed as if all the traces of the grassland had gathered together.
A number of rhinoceros, eagles, crocodiles, kangaroos, and leopards. They were standing in formation, surrounding the orcs and the monsters in the middle.
It seemed like the strategy was to rush in and annihilate the remaining forces when the orcs and monsters clashed.
“The number of the watermen is large, but their encirclement is not strong. And you saw it yesterday, right? The watermen who attacked the garrison. The general’s orcs will be able to overcome them.”
“Hmm… … .”
That was right.
Yesterday, while I was being held captive by a mysterious person.
The watermen attacked the garrison at that moment, but strictly speaking, they themselves were not a threat. The watermen might be strong individually, but as a legion, they were several orders of magnitude stronger than the orcs who had been training for years.
Moreover, this time Kalanta was directly in command. It would have been possible to annihilate the besieged people one by one.
‘If only the barrier was intact… then it would be right to move the troops and deal with the water people first. Either destroy them within two days, or get them to surrender. Then deal with the monster.’
Kalanta accepted it calmly. The only variable now was the defeat of Lemonlive, and it seemed that even that could be resolved if she sent reinforcements.
“…Have you made a decision?”
Nerheim said as the eight thousand orcs that were fighting the monster split into four legions.
It was a sight that clearly demonstrated the characteristics of Commander Orc. The troops quickly reorganized and moved in unison.
“One will go to help Lemonlive, two will attack the Toothless bastards, and the other one will stand by.”
“It’s the right decision! If that’s the case, there’s no need to turn your back on the Empire.”
“Of course, that doesn’t mean I’ll reinstate you as an adjutant.”
So Kalanta tried to advance her troops in each direction. At the same time, she reached between the bones of the cage and tried to grab Nerheim’s neck.
Towering.
His hand stopped in the middle and he quickly got up.
‘There is something.’
He looked down at the legions he had divided.
Legions of 1,000, 1,000, 3,000, and 3,000 respectively. Of these, 1,000 orcs would be used to help Lemonlive subdue the mysterious old man, and another 1,000 orcs would defend the current point where they had entered the fortifications.
But what is this strange unease? Clearly, all the orcs are under his control. I don’t know what it is, but for now, it was time to carry out the plan.
‘March.’
As the commander orc’s powers came into play, the orcs began to advance. Each unit leader took the lead and began to let out a grotesque howl that sounded horrible to human ears.
Boom, boom, boom, boom!
Orcs scatter in all directions, making loud footsteps.
Now, the area in front of the barrier is completely cleared.
however.
“… … !”
In the place where all the troops had left, a single heavily armored orc was seen standing quietly.
‘Is there anyone who is not ruled?’
The heavily armored orc raised his hand, as if checking the barrier. Then he looked around at the orcs who were leaving him and scattering one by one. It was as if he was waiting for them to disperse appropriately.
Kalanta tried to exert control and control the gnome. And then she realized.
“That guy isn’t an orc.”
Whoosh, his dominance dissipated as he passed through the guy. As if he sensed Kalanta’s power, the guy looked this way. Although his expression was not visible due to the heavy armor helmet and iron armor covering his face.
“Not an orc?”
“no way……!”
“Why is that, Kalanta?”

Kalanta stopped the legions that were advancing in each direction. Then, she pulled out the hammer and axe she was carrying on her back and jumped down to the ground herself.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Kalanta running towards him.
Not only was he not an orc, he was a very dangerous foe. Kalanta recognized the weapons he held in each hand. One was the flying dagger that had sliced the back of his neck, and the other was the mysterious dagger that had frozen the water in the valley in an instant.
To quickly approach the creature, Kalanta used a special muscle found only in Commander Orcs.
Gulp, gulp.
The muscles in his thighs and calves twitched. With that, Kalanta kicked off the floor and rose. A leap of incredible proportions that defied common sense. He cut through the air and approached the thing.
‘Shit!’
But it was already too late. The man turned towards the barrier and raised both daggers above his shoulders.
Kalanta could only stare at the black aura surrounding the two daggers. Even the bitter frost emanating from them.
Kwajijijik!
A dagger spewing frost was thrust into the barrier. A crack appeared in the barrier. The moment another dagger was thrust in, a cracking sound was heard and the crack spread in all directions.
Woohoo.
As the crack in the barrier opened, light began to pour out. The monsters blocked by the barrier also sensed something strange and began to cry loudly.
Krrrrrrkaa!
The cries of the monsters were mixed with Kalanta’s angry scream. Kalanta jumped up once more and threw her axe with all her might.
Boooooooo.
It was an axe that flew while spinning quickly, but at some point its speed noticeably slowed down.
‘… … !’
‘Shadow Force Master’. Rubin spread a hemispherical cloud of dark smoke, trapping the flying axe in zero gravity.
Rubin, who glanced back, looked at Kalanta with cold eyes as she rushed to stop him. Then, he struck down the barrier once again with his sword and bloody frost.
Tsk tsk tsk.
Just two attacks would have been enough, as they had already targeted the barrier’s weak points.
Kuuuung!
Kwakwakwakwang!
The collapse of the barrier started from where Rubin was. Even Rubin couldn’t help but be pushed back a few steps by the shock that shook the earth.
Black dust covered the area.
In it, Rubin felt the movements of the monsters filled with rage. Krrrr. The monsters began to charge towards the orcs, drooling profusely.
* * *
Urrrrrr.
A deafening roar poured in from all directions. The three orc legions, each advancing in their own designated direction, had to change their course of advance. They rushed toward Rubin, their armors flailing.
Meanwhile, the monsters also began to swarm like ants. Originally, Haneke had formed an artificial line to create an effective clash, but it was disrupted by the barrier.
‘Now I just have to take care of Kalanta.’
Rubin looked at an orc with a distinct presence even in the acrid dust. The orc’s aura was shining from its huge hammer.
‘Haneke… … ‘
It seemed as if the world would be shaken by the appearance of General Lemon Reeve, but fortunately, Haneke came forward at the right time.
At this point, the most powerful being in the meadow was undoubtedly Haneke.
Of course, Rubin also knew that Lemonlive’s machine output was reaching an unprecedented level. Its power was amplified to the point where it resonated with Rubin’s dark side. It was a power that far surpassed Rubin’s realm.
But does that mean he can surpass Haneke? I don’t think so.
‘In the end, Lemonlive will burn itself out. I just need to focus on Kalanta.’
It was the final task given to Rubin.
Rubin kills Kalanta, Haneke kills Lemonlieb, and when evening comes, the ‘tidal wave of the fight’ kills all the remaining intruders.
In this way, the Empire’s ‘Operation Sunset’ completely sinks before the sun rises.
Chae-Ang!
Rubin easily blocked Kalanta’s rushing attack. The orc warriors that followed surrounded Rubin. It must have been Kalanta’s will.
Kalanta also thought that eliminating Rubin first would make the battle with the monster easier.
Wheeeeee.
The bitter cold from the Blood Frost froze the area. The lower bodies of the nearby orcs were helplessly frozen, and Rubin’s sword swung down and shattered their frozen legs.
Spread it out.
Kkaaaak!
Even the most dominated orcs felt pain and could not hold back their cries.
“We’ll have to fight the monster soon. Wouldn’t it be better to spare our warriors?”
Rubin shouted at Kalanta. Kalanta ignored him and continued her attack. Kalanta’s hammer rained down fiercely among the advancing orcs.
Thud! Thud! Boohoo!
But at that time.
‘… … !’
Rubin’s eyes widened.
Rubin turned his head to one side as he thrust his dagger into the neck of the orc warrior in front of him. His gaze was directed to the battlefield where Haneke was.
This can’t be happening.
Rubin’s eyes shook as he sensed the seriousness.
Haneke’s Defeat? Death?
no.
Phew.
A clear echo spread. It was a sound that only Rubin could hear.
At the same time, light began to emanate from Rubin’s left wrist, which was covered by heavy armor. This light was also visible only to Rubin.
‘First-class magic stone.’
There was a first-class magic stone inside Lemonliv’s machine. No, to be precise, it was hidden. The last time I saw him, Rubin’s ‘Lily Bracelet’ didn’t detect it.
Originally, it was not a first-class magic stone, but it transformed into a first-class magic stone when certain conditions were met.
‘The amplified energy I was feeling from Lemon Leaves has stopped. Has it reached its maximum?’
That was probably the condition for a first-class magic stone. Lemon Liv’s maximum power is released. But the real problem is-
‘Why is there a first-class magic stone there? No way… … .’
Now was not the time to confront Kalanta.
Rubin turned completely and started to fight his way towards Lemonlive. The orcs blocking Rubin’s path were knocked down with their heads cut off.
Rubin realized that the first-class magic stone hidden inside the machine was not intended to make Lemon Liv stronger.
That’s… … .
‘destruction.’
It was a magic stone designed to work only for annihilation.
‘Like an explosion magic designed to manifest the moment Amret’s heart stops.’
In the past, I remembered the sword fight my mother had with Amret, the evil spirit of the mind, at the top of the White Tower of Philimond.
The explosive magic designed in the heart at that time was of a scale that could obliterate a city.
‘Maybe it’s more than that.’
The moment the explosion grew stronger, but only Rubin could sense it. He was of royal blood and was also the owner of a first-class magic stone.
‘It’s dangerous.’
The safety of Haneke, Blaine, and Imacalum, who were immediately around, was not the only issue. If they failed to stop it, all the people waiting far away would be caught up in the explosion.
No, its influence will extend to the skies and shake even the red clouds of Rayubia.
‘Telmach… Did you send the general after considering this situation?’
Rubin sped up. The cold frost surrounding him spread without restraint. The frost froze all the orcs that rushed at him, and the subsequent sword strikes tore them apart.
Push! Push!
Urrrrrr.
However, thousands of orcs continued to block Rubin’s path. Kalanta continued to send orcs targeting only Rubin.
‘shit!’
I had to hurry.
Because only Rubin could stop the explosion embedded in the first-class magic stone.
