20. Secret Weapon!

20. Secret Weapon!

Bang! Tata ta tang!

“what?”

As soon as we set off we heard the sounds of rifles and machine guns.

Why are you shooting already?

It got urgent.

“Damn it! Everyone, hurry up and move!”

“Run!”

It was clear that they had decided to attack after the Imperial forces entered the base.

That way, we could get to the rear and attack from both sides to deliver a strong blow to the enemy in the early stages.

But just now, the dozen or so Imperial soldiers in the vanguard had not yet arrived at the base entrance.

‘You were so well prepared!’

It seemed likely that Major Lapin had attacked the enemy first without waiting for us in order to take credit for defeating the enemy.

The defenses were well-maintained, but they were not greatly outnumbered.

One or two excellent magic knights could turn the tide of the battle.

‘There shouldn’t be much damage······.’

Kwaang! Tata ta tang! Bang!

The gunshots were getting closer.

Chief Petty Officer Phelps, who arrived first, shouted.

“The 4th Battalion is being pushed back!”

I quickly scanned the battle scene as I made my way through the forest.

The advance party of about ten Imperial troops were all dead at the entrance.

We were taken by surprise by the 4th Battalion.

However, the two companies of Imperial troops behind were responding, and the Elf Magic Knight was charging into the base alone and slaughtering the machine gunners and soldiers in the tent.

There is no such thing as a complete monster!

“Phelps squad, take the right, Herman the left. Carlin squad, follow me! We’ll hit their rear!”

“let’s go!”

“Attack!”

Bang! Ta-tang! Ta-ta-ta-ta-tang!

“Ugh!”

“Ugh!”

When we surprised the rear of the imperial army, the enemy fell without a fight.

“There’s an enemy behind you!”

“Respond!”

The imperial army turned around and started shooting.

But there was hardly any place to hide at the entrance to the mine where they were.

I’ve already cleaned it all up.

On the other hand, we have skills.

“Air shield!”

[Use the Air Shield (lv.2) skill.]

[Use the Air Shield (lv.2) skill.]

[Use the Air Shield (lv.2) skill.]

I shouted loudly, reached out, and opened three air shields in front of me at the same time.

Then the Kalin squad members who were following me lay down and started shooting.

Bang! Ta-tang! Bang!

“Ugh!”

“Cough!”

It was a tactic that had already been used several times when hunting monsters.

When deploying the air shield, I intentionally deploy the skill slightly above the ground. Then, the soldiers around me will lie down like this and shoot their rifles from under the air shield.

This was a fairly effective tactic when dealing with low-level monsters and regular soldiers.

“Earth Shield!”

“Take cover behind the bluff!”

Private Cameron of Herman’s squad used an earth shield and created several one-meter-high dirt berms around the perimeter, providing cover for his men.

“Shoot! Keep pushing!”

Tata tang! Bang!

“Ugh!”

Thanks to the efforts of our company, the Imperial Army’s forces continued to dwindle.

That was it!

Wheein! Sweet sweet sweet!

‘The secret weapon has arrived!’

Captain Hela’s small transport plane, the Falcon, was approaching us quickly.

A magic machine gun protruded from the Falcon’s rear hatch, the gunner being Sergeant John Cutter and the assistant gunner being Sergeant Chris.

It’s going to be very hot.

Sergeant Chris has a buff spell to enhance his machine gun, and Sergeant John Cutter has a flame skill, which is an explosive spell!

The Falcon passes over our heads.

Wheeeeeeeeing!

Tutatatang! Tutatatatatatatang!

Pufferpuff! Pufferpuffpufferpuff!

“Eww!”

“Ugh!”

Flames shot up in a straight line along the Imperial Army line, and soldiers fell.

The synergy between the two people’s drinking methods was significant.

Especially with the soldiers engulfed in flames running around in all directions, it was truly a chaotic situation.

Bang! Bang! Thud!

Sergeant Phelps relieved the suffering of enemy soldiers.

“Push harder!”

Bang! Tata tang!

We attacked and the enemy fell into confusion.

Wheeing!

Then the Falcon flew over us again.

Tutatatatatata tang!

“Eww!”

“Retreat! Retreat!”

They couldn’t hold out any longer.

A cornered rat attacks a cat, and a foe that has set out on a journey is ferocious.

I deliberately left space for them to escape.

Even if they run away from here, they have nowhere to go.

Of course, it won’t be easy to run away.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

“Ugh!”

The fleeing imperial soldiers continued to fall.

More soldiers get hurt when they turn their backs than when they fight.

And so the battle ended.

“Don’t chase them!”

There were two companies, but only a platoon-sized number of soldiers fled.

The battle has already been won.

The real problem was something else.

“Oh my god! He alone······!”

“Isn’t that a monster!”

Herman and Captain Carlin were astonished.

I was watching too.

The heroic dance of blocking machine gun fire with a shield and breaking through to cut off the soldiers’ limbs!

The elf magic knight was too strong.

Moreover, because he moved so quickly, there were more cases where we shot at each other than at him.

“Sergeant Herman, prepare to snipe! Aim for the shield!”

“yes!”

“Everyone, stop rushing in and close the encirclement!”

“yes!”

If you rush in rashly, your body will be cut in half by that sharp knife.

Our company entered the base.

“Everyone stand back! We’ll deal with him!”

The 4th Battalion soldiers, already in a panic, saw us and began to retreat.

Then, an elf covered in blood glared at us.

“Shoot!”

“Shoot!”

Bang! Tata tang! Bang!

Tank! Tae tae tae tae taeng!

The impact from the shield must have been tremendous, but the elf magic knight was enduring it by crouching down.

Then the bastard started moving towards the center where I was.

“Kalin Squad, stand back!”

My squad and I fired as we stepped back.

Then the bastard couldn’t come any closer.

They were blocking the incoming bullets with a shield from the front, but if they advanced any further, they would be hit by bullets from the two squads on the left and right.

“Okay! Keep shooting so they don’t get close!”

The first priority was to prevent the bastard from attacking us.

Pot! Dadadadak!

At that moment, the guy suddenly started running sideways.

“He’s running away! Shoot!”

Bang! Ta-tang! Ta-ang!

Tank! Tank!

The nearby Phelps squad fired their guns simultaneously, but the bullets were either blocked by the bastard’s shield or just flew through the air.

His choice was wise.

It would be foolish to rush into an area where the Awakened Company is stationed.

Moreover, as he ran away, he moved next to Phelps’ squad, preventing me and Kalin’s squad from firing because of our allies.

In an instant, the bastard entered the forest.

Taang! Bam!

At that moment, the guy staggered violently.

‘Yes, I believed it!’

He was shot in the thigh by Sergeant Herman’s sniper rifle.

It was another moment when his judo skills shone through.

Sergeant Herman had been firing bullets at the front of the bastard’s shield for a moment.

But as soon as he entered the forest, he turned his shield forward and ran.

The guided missile flies towards the targeted target.

However, the moment the shield flips over, the bullets do not fly towards the front, but rather fly towards the back of the shield to hit the front, which is the target.

And the bullet went through the thigh of the elf magic knight behind the shield and hit the back of the shield.

“Phelps! Jester! We’re after him!”

“yes!”

We chased after the elf magic knight.

“Wow! Even with a hurt leg, you’re still so fast!”

“Yeah, I would have missed it if it weren’t for the flying technique.”

No matter how much he runs through the forest like the wind, we chase him from the sky.

Besides, would hiding behind a tree be enough to evade Phelps’ mana detection spell?

“Just in case! Get your swords set!”

“yes!”

Crunch!

We put bayonets on the front of our rifles.

The bastard was now hiding under a big tree.

Perhaps because they were tired and worn out, they seemed to be waiting for us to come down and attack.

“Shall we capture him alive?”

Phelps asked.

I nodded.

“Yeah, we have to catch him so we can find out where that Imperial General is hiding.”

There could have been another guy who set out to achieve great things like Major Lapin.

So I thought it would be better for me to catch it quickly.

Of course, I’ll set up a ball too.

“Don’t get too close to him, and push him to one side. I’ll catch him.”

Phelps looked worried.

“I don’t think an air shield can stop him. Are you okay with that?”

“Use your secret weapon.”

“Huh? A secret weapon?”

“Trust me.”

“All right.”

We surrounded the tree where the bastard was hiding on three sides and went down.

Bang! Bang!

Phelps, who had the detection technique, started firing his rifle first.

The bastard dodged the bullets by going around a tree, using his shield to block them.

But there was a jester there.

Bang! Bang!

Tank! Tank!

Phelps flew in, turned, and dove.

Then the Elf Magic Knight rushed towards me.

And then I pointed my rifle at the guy.

“Hey, don’t give up.”

The corners of the elf’s mouth went up.

“I’ll kill you.”

Pot! Dadadak!

He held out his shield and rushed at me.

I threw the disc I had prepared in advance in front of the bastard.

WHACK! chin!

“huh?”

Choaaaah!

“Ugh!”

Kuung!

The bastard slumped forward.

It’s not like the legs are caught in the disc.

It couldn’t overcome 5 times the gravity.

[Gravity Field Generator – Can change the nature of spacetime to set the surrounding gravity. (Maximum influence range – 10 meters)

Contains fragments of the dimensional core.

After using it once, you must recharge dimensional energy before you can use it again.]

“Phelps, hit his legs from above!”

“yes!”

WHEEW! BAM!

“Ugh!”

A bullet struck the elf’s uninjured thigh.

“Put your weapons down! Or I’ll shoot you in both shoulders next time.”

The elf magic knight had a pained expression.

No matter how many body strengthening skills you use, if your legs get hurt by 5x gravity, you won’t be able to do anything.

The elf laid down his weapon and lay down.

After 30 seconds, the gravitational field generator’s influence disappeared.

“Tie him up!”

I aimed at the guy, and Phelps and Jester tied up the elf.

Luckily, we captured him alive.

If an elf had awakened the magic of flight, the mere thought would be terrifying.

And then I grabbed my secret weapon.

Then the elf glared at me.

“Where did you find that elf’s weapon?”

“What? An elf weapon?”

***

When we returned to the mine, there was no Abigail.

“Get the wounded soldiers onto the truck quickly!”

“Bring me the styptic! Hurry up!”

Sergeant Watts struggled using his healing skills, but there were too many injured soldiers.

He approached the lieutenant who was giving orders to the soldiers.

“Lieutenant, where is Major Lapin?”

“He died in battle.”

“what?”

I wanted to throw a punch at him, but he died.

If we had held out a little longer and then attacked, the damage would have been much less than it is now.

“Who will be the next commander?”

“This is Captain Robert. However, he is seriously injured and is undergoing treatment.”

“So you are the commander here now?”

“That’s right.”

“What is the damage situation?”

One company’s worth of soldiers were killed, and another company’s worth of soldiers were wounded.

In short, two out of three companies were rendered incapable of combat.

The damage was so severe.

Our special unit also helped to transport the wounded.

***

[Special Forces Temporary Headquarters]

The company returned to Base Lutes, except for Sergeant Watts and Corporal Douglin, who had undergone medic training.

“First of all, I took emergency measures.”

Sergeant Phelps and Corporal Jester moved the elf here.

“What did he say?”

“I didn’t say a word.”

“Okay. I’ll go.”

I went to find the elf.

The elf had bandages wrapped around both thighs and had his hands and feet bound.

“I am Captain Alain Bombard. What is your name?”

“Evolod.”

The elf opened his mouth surprisingly obediently.

“What rank?”

“There is no such thing as class.”

“Isn’t that the Imperial Army?”

“We are only in partnership with the Empire.”

we?

So that means it’s not just these elves who are cooperating with the empire.

“Too many soldiers have died because of your reckless swordsmanship.”

“That’s what war is like.”

The next question was troubling because of the too bland answer.

“You are so calm in the face of death.”

“When we die, we simply return to the earth.”

“But why did you throw down your sword and surrender? You could have resisted to the end or even committed suicide.”

“That’s because the clan’s mission was not completed.”

“What is the clan’s mission?”

Evolod did not answer.

“Okay, then I have a proposition for you. You have killed too many of our soldiers, so you are clearly worthy of being shot. However, if you tell me where the Imperial generals and the defeated soldiers are, you will not be shot.”

“Bring me a pen. I’ll draw the location.”

“what?”

I was puzzled because he responded so obediently.

“We’ve run out of food anyway. If we leave it like this, we’ll starve to death.”

“What about the troops?”

“These are all the troops that attacked the base earlier. The rest are wounded.”

Jester brought a pen and paper.

“Let go of my arms.”

Just in case, Phelps pointed his gun at the guy from behind.

“Before I draw the map, I also have some requirements.”

“What? I said I’ll save you from being shot.”

“More than that, I want to know where you got that elven weapon you have.”

I took out the gravity field generator and showed it to him.

“This is an elf weapon?”

“Yes.”

So, that means the world inside the labyrinth gate was originally a place where elves lived.

If I do this well, I can get information about the Dimensional Core Fragments?
