“All power, stop.”
The commander of the monster army, Skeleton Knight Dearan, gave the order.
As soon as the Death Knight’s command was given, all the monsters stopped in their tracks.
“… … .”
Daeran carefully examined the city walls, the target of his invasion.
Judging from the character description alone, he seemed like a crazy charging maniac, but Dearan was actually a legendary soldier.
Moreover, it was a command unit.
The AI for battle command was faithfully equipped.
“Archers, forward.”
Immediately, archers from each unit stepped forward.
Twenty goblin archers, twenty orc heavy archers, and twenty skeleton soldiers who could handle both swords and bows each had their bows pointed forward.
“preparation.”
The sixty-foot bowstring was pulled back taut with an arrow attached,
“firing.”
It was shot.
Ping ping ping-!
The arrows that drew parabolic curves struck the top of the castle wall.
Users who had no Mercury training at all were shocked when they were hit by arrows.
“Take cover, um… … eww!”
“We have to build a barricade! Bring me the wood!”
“Suddenly, wood came out of nowhere… … Aah!”
Now that the new season has opened, there’s no way the users remaining here would be high level.
Even the simplest of arrow sweeps caused a snowball effect in human casualties.
“What the hell, what is the lord doing!”
The user shouted as he lit the cannons placed on the wall.
“What are the NPC forces of Iron Matter doing?”
“That, that… … !”
bang!
The cannon fired, but the aim was poor. The shells landed in the wrong place.
“It looks like some guys have invaded the castle and are fighting!”
“Really? All the way to the castle?”
That was when.
Kwakwakwang!
An explosion was heard in the city center.
As the surprised people looked there, the center of Iron Matter, the public forge, was collapsing.
“What, what is it?”
“What the heck… … ?”
At this unbelievable sight, users turn around from the city walls and look inside the city.
Then, particles of light gathered in the air above their heads, and a bolt of blue lightning struck the castle wall.
Kwajik!
“Eww!”
“Ahhhhh!”
Users who were struck by a huge lightning bolt were knocked down all at once.
“magic?!”
“Are there monsters that use magic?”
It was a lightning spell cast by two elder liches of the skeleton army.
The Elder Lich prepared his next spell in quick succession. The archers also continued to fire arrows without stopping.
“Shoot without stopping. Don’t give the enemy any openings.”
Dearan ordered coolly.
Iron Matter’s NPC soldiers also tried to fight back with bows and cannons.
“Ugh?! Where are you shooting at!”
“Ahhh… … !”
They were hit by the illusionary magic of the goblin warlocks and shot at random places or attacked their allies.
“These… … f*cking monsters!”
One of the users aimed the cannon precisely and lit it.
“Aim for the author.”
Dearan, who sensed that, pointed at the user with his hand.
Pok! Pok ok pok!
“Ugh! Ugh!”
A concentrated barrage of fire was directed at the user, but the user managed to fire the cannon even as he turned into a hedgehog.
Boom!
The shell flew straight towards the center of the monster army.
Even as he died, a smile appeared on the user’s lips.
“You little shits, don’t underestimate Iron Matter… … .”
But the user had to stop talking.
Denggeong!
That was because Dearan, who had kicked off the ground and jumped up, swung his blade and cleanly split the shell in two.

Kwakwakwang!
The shell exploded in the air.
widely.
And Dearan calmly landed on the ground, breaking through the smoke.
“… … This is crazy.”
The user who muttered was hit in the head by an arrow that flew in immediately after and was knocked down.
The skeleton knight gave the following order, not caring about the soot on his pale bones.
“Fire three more volleys, and the infantry advance. Skeleton soldiers, put away your bows and join the infantry.”
Goblin shield bearers and orc heavy infantry advanced, each carrying a huge great shield and a round small shield.
The users and NPCs tried to intercept the approaching hordes of monsters, but they were defeated first by the pouring arrows and magic.
Eventually, the monster soldiers managed to reach the bottom of the castle walls.
Daeran looked up at the fairly high walls.
“Climb the wall. Skeleton soldiers, make ladders with your bodies.”
The skeleton soldiers who had been advancing closely behind their shields rushed forward one by one.
The skeleton soldiers stood on each other’s shoulders.
Soon a long ladder made of bones was built, right up against the wall.
“I will go first. Then the goblin wolf riders, orc heavy infantry, and goblin spearmen will follow in that order.”
Daeran quickly climbed up the ladder, followed closely by two goblin wolf riders riding wolves.
fault!
Daeran climbed up the ladder like the wind and climbed up the wall. A goblin rider riding a giant wolf followed right behind.
Despair appeared on the faces of the users who resisted until the end.
“Support… why is there no support!”
At the same time as one user shouted,
Kwakwakwang!
Again an explosion was heard from the city.
Flames and smoke billowed out simultaneously from major city facilities.
Users could only watch blankly as the city turned into a sea of fire in an instant.
“Prepare the castle.”
Dearan, who was humming in a fierce and silent voice, slowly approached the users who remained on the wall.
“As the King commands, do not spare even one.”
“This… this, this is just a little monster bastard!”
One user tried to run towards me while screaming.
Pok, pok, pok.
Before I knew it, my whole body was impaled by the spears of the goblin spearmen who had followed me up.
“Ugh… … gasp.”
The spearmen retrieved their spears as soon as the user was downed.
Stab at once, and retrieve at once.
“Ugh!”
“Go away! Go away… … Ouch!”
The goblin spearmen stabbed and killed the users who were cornered in the corner of the castle wall one by one.
Crunch! Crunch!
The Orc heavy infantrymen swung the oversized kukri in their hands and decapitated the last remaining NPCs.
The NPC defender, who had been resisting until the end, was torn to pieces by a wolf mounted by a wolf rider and thrown out of the castle wall.
“Eu …
Crunch.
He must have died from the fall damage. Dearan didn’t even look at him.
“… … .”
Daeran watched the city covered in fire and smoke.
A moment later, two orc legion commanders came and reported.
“The top of the wall has been cleaned up.”
“What do we do now, Commander?”
“… … .”
Daeran turned around without answering.
“Are you satisfied, Your Majesty?”
When he arrived, Labo was standing there, waving his jet-black robe.
Boom, boom… … Explosions continued intermittently from inside the city. The small town, completely engulfed in flames, was collapsing miserably.
“Are you satisfied?”
Watching the sight with delight, like a child watching fireworks… …Labo answered.
“I’ll tell you in advance, Dearan. I’m never satisfied.”
It was an extremely calm voice.
“I will not be satisfied until this world is completely destroyed, I cannot be, and I must not be.”
“… … .”
“So let’s ask that question again after we finish our expedition.”
“Your name.”
Dearan, who bowed her head slightly, asked again.
“If so, please give the following command.”
“You said it a little while ago.”
Labo chuckled. It was a cruel laugh.
“It’s a castle.”
Labo stretched his arms into the castle.
“Open the gates. Lower the drawbridge. Storm the castle. Exterminate everything, every last living thing!”
“Your name.”
Dearan bowed deeply and turned around.
“everyone-!”
The skeleton knight’s eyes, which had been glowing blue, turned red.
“Charge! Advance into the castle! Kill whoever you come across, indiscriminately, haphazardly! Kill! Kill!”
Daeran’s main blade soared into the sky.
“For the Dark Cult!”
The cool-headed commander mode is over.
The fearless Daeran revealed his true nature as a blind, reckless madman.
And this appearance is truly ‘monstrous’.
Khoooo!
The eyes of the cheering monsters began to overflow with greedy murderous intent.
And then the monsters poured into the city all at once.
“……haha.”
Labo was watching that scene with a happy smile.
“Now it’s a bit like the ‘Devil’s Army’.”
* * *
“Ugh, ugh!”
Near the central square of Iron Matter.
Not far from the collapsed public forge.
There were about a dozen users gathered here, waiting with bated breath.
This place, surrounded by users, is a place where a blue magic door is open on top of a giant circular magic circle.
It was Iron Matter’s portal.
Unless you came by land, this was pretty much the only means of transportation into the city.
“Why… why isn’t anyone coming!”
One user cried out in sorrow.
“Our city is burning like this! Why isn’t there any help?”
“I guess no one cares… … .”
Another user muttered in a weary voice.
“Everyone will be preoccupied with the battle for the new continent… … How many vested interests are there over there? Besides, this isn’t a major city, and no one is interested in it anymore… … .”
“No matter what, Iron Matter! It was the center of Wings’ iron ore industry, how could this be… … .”
The user almost started to cry.
“Why isn’t GM answering the call? Is this a normal event?”
“Leave it. The GM call from the Old Continent has been dead for a few days now. They must have all gone to the New Continent and taken care of it… … .”
“Is this a game? Is this a game? Damn it!”
It was then that the user who had been trying to whisper somewhere else suddenly became cheerful and shouted.
“Everyone listen up! Reinforcements are coming!”
“What? Really?”
Everyone’s faces brightened up.
“I’ve contacted users in the two closest small cities! They’re gathering users as quickly as possible!”
It really was.
A moment later, the portal’s magic circle glowed, and two groups of users, each consisting of about ten people, entered Iron Matter through the portal in succession.
“Wow, what the heck is going on?”
Everyone looked around the burning city with their mouths wide open.
The two users who were the leaders of the group nodded to the users of Iron Matter.
“I came in a hurry, but I only brought users who are level 75 or higher to immediately apply for power!”
“No matter who invaded, let’s get Iron Matter back, everyone!”
Everyone raised their fists and shouted, “Oooh!”
“Everyone! I’ve also contacted the former Iron Matter residents who went to the New World! They’re urgently gathering a rescue team. They’ll be here in 10 minutes… …!”
“The Free Knights League is also sending reinforcements!”
“The Ivory Tower Magic Brigade will come right away!”
Other users who had been promised additional support followed suit.
Hope appeared on everyone’s faces.
Yes, not everyone in the world has forgotten Iron Matter.
If we all join forces, we can quickly overcome a crisis of this magnitude…
“No, no~ I can’t come~.”
At that moment, with a sudden, cheerful voice.
Flash!
A beam of light shot from afar.
The beam of light shot in a straight line struck the portal’s magic circle.
Quagwagwa!
The magic stone in the middle of the magic circle was hit directly, and gold began to crack… … .
Cookie Cutter!
It was destroyed.
With a spectacular explosion, it was blown to pieces.
“… … .”
“… … .”
Users could only watch this unrealistic sight with their mouths wide open.
