Lord of Training - Chapter 63
Only Krnovel
63. It ain’t over till it’s over.
Operations that attack enemy command centers are always effective.
30 Imperial Aerial Magic Knights were flying this way.
We have to deal with two for each person.
But we have support.
“Let’s all go meet the enemy!”
“let’s go!”
Swish! Swish swish swish!
This is my first time fighting the Imperial Airborne Magic Knights.
“Whew! Whoosh!”
Tension builds up throughout my body and my goggles start to fog up.
Atlan Kingdom 2nd Corps Air Magic Battalion.
This is the second full-scale air battle.
Once it was a battle to shoot down Albion bombers targeting the Havelock Wall, and now it was a battle to lure them into fighting in order to protect the bombers.
The agents also looked very nervous.
This was because the level of the aerial magic knights of the Albion Kingdom and the aerial magic knights of the Empire were too different.
“Everyone, listen carefully! We are definitely not weak. Remember the memories of your training!”
I recalled the memories of two months of flight training in the sky with my battalion members during the expedition.
I focused on individual combat training, and my virtual enemy was me, with high-speed flight skills.
Most of them trained so hard that they died dozens of times in virtual battles with me.
Since only Sergeant Chris and I could use defensive skills in the air, we had to push the battalion members even harder.
And in the labyrinth gate, I leveled up my skills and even learned new techniques over the course of a month.
The battalion members were now full of confidence.
“After a volley of fire, move by squadron! If you are caught from behind by the enemy during combat, go straight to the ambush! And if you are injured, immediately withdraw from the front line!”
“yes!”
“Lastly, never die! This is an order.”
“Captain, don’t die either!”
“Let’s have a proper fight today.”
“The Empire bastards are coming!”
The time it took to calm my mind passed really quickly.
Suddenly, the Imperial Aerial Magic Knights appeared in our sights.
‘Oh! You’re totally underestimating us!’
For a moment, my eyes lit up.
The sun was now behind us in the east.
And yet, there are those who fly in without thinking.
You think we’re just some airborne magic knights from the shabby kingdom of Bavaria!
‘We won this battle.’
The corners of the mouth went up.
“Prepare to fire! Unleash your skills without holding back!”
Chuck! Chew chew chew chew!
“launch!”
Bang! Tata tang! Bang!
I added a stack (lv. 1) to the penetration (lv. 3) skill and shot it.
The enemy that was flying confidently used a defensive skill.
Thud! Thud! Thud!
“Cough!”
“Kwaaah!”
The bullet I shot pierced the enemy’s shoulder, and the aerial magic knight fell to the ground.
Even a level 3 defensive skill can’t stop it if a level 3 penetration is stacked on top of it!
Besides me, there were five other battalion members who successfully attacked.
I killed six enemies in the first encounter.
“Spread out!”
“Scatter!”
Swish swish swish! Swish swish!
[Use the High-Speed Flight (lv.3) skill.]
Paaaaang!
[Uses Halo (lv.3) skill.]
The formation scattered, but I charged toward the enemies alone.
Bang! Tata tang!
I caught their attention.
Bullets are flying from all directions.
I just rose up.
Paaaaang!
“Stand there!”
Paaaaang!
High speed flight?
The enemy is chasing me closely.
In terms of speed, at least ace level.
There’s no need to push yourself too hard from the first match.
It quickly descended to the ground.
Paaaaang!
Bang! Ta-tang! Bang!
He shoots his gun, but it’s not easy to hit a fast-moving enemy.
Moreover, if you use high-speed flight, your accuracy will drop significantly.
But being caught by an aerial magician was like a death sentence.
I could have just run away, but this was also my chance to catch him.
‘That would be nice!’
The tallest building in the area at 8 stories.
It was the building I had seen earlier.
Paaaaang!
I went down there.
“die!”
Ta-tang! Bang!
It started to revolve around the building.
He’s still after me.
[Use the High-Speed Flight (lv.3) skill.]
[Use the Overlap (lv.1) skill.]
Paaaaang!
It reached top speed.
Then, in an instant, he returned behind the bastard.
At that moment, I saw the bewildered face of the man who glanced back.
“It’s my turn now!”
Bang! Ta-tang!
Paaaaang!
The bastard escapes with his high-speed flight skills.
No way!
Paaaaang!
Bang! Tata tang!
It doesn’t fit at all.
He put the rifle in the workshop and took out the submachine gun.
If it’s hard to hit, just shoot more.
Crunch!
It dumps a 20-round magazine.
[Use the Penetration (lv.3) skill.]
[Use the Penetration (lv.3) skill.]
[Use the Overlap (lv.1) skill.]
“die!”
Tutatatang! Tutatatatatang!
Crunch!
Tutatatang! Tutatatang!
puck!
“Ugh!”
A bullet hit him in the side.
The speed slows down.
‘It’s over!’
Tata tata tang!
Pufufufu!
WHEEING! BUSH! KWOOONG!
The guy fell onto the roof of a building.
I caught an ace-class aerial magic knight!
I raised my head and looked at the situation.
There is a fierce battle in the sky and on the ground.
At that moment, the agent who was caught behind appeared.
‘I’m coming!’
Paaaaang!
The tail bites its own tail.
If the speed is similar, it will be difficult for a magic knight caught behind to shake off the enemy.
That’s why you need to learn high-speed flight skills.
Tutata tang!
“Cough!”
The Imperial Airborne Magic Knight who was chasing after Special Agent Pearson was hit.
The bastard looked back at me with a pained face.
[Use the Fire Burst (lv.1) skill.]
Tutatang! Phew!
The enemy’s body burst out in the air.
“Phew! Thank you, Commander!”
Sergeant Pearson gave me a thumbs up and flew off to another enemy.
Instead of formation fighting, dogfights were already taking place on all sides.
Chi-chik!
– Ensign Herman was injured.
A radio transmission came in from Ensign Kalin, who was surveying the battlefield.
Chi-chik!
– One enemy is too strong.
“I saw it! I’m going!”
Unusually fast speed.
Unstoppable movement.
The enemy is clearly a battalion commander, elite level.
I’ll catch him.
Paaaaang! Paaaaang!
‘Got it!’
Tutatatang! Tutatatang!
I shot the machine gun at the bastard’s back.
Whirlyrick!
‘Damn evasion technique!’
Paaang!
He spots me and speeds up.
‘Where are you running away to!’
Tutatang! Tata tatang!
It just so happened that it was the guy who had awakened the evasion technique, the most difficult opponent.
Slide to the side to dodge the bullet as it looks like it’s about to hit you.
Harry the Archduke also said that he had awakened his evasive technique and that he could dodge bullets flying within a 10 meter radius around him by instantly moving his body to the side or jumping upwards.
But since you’ve been caught, you’ll get hit someday.
Paaaaang!
That’s when the bastard started gaining altitude.
Paaaaang!
I followed him up too.
‘How high does it go?’
My breathing became rapid and an unbearable cold came over me.
Even though I’m wearing two sets of underwear, my body feels stiff.
At that moment, the bastard started to dive.
I also followed him and dove down.
however!
Wheeeeeek!
The guy who was falling down suddenly jumped up.
I tried to follow him up, but I couldn’t beat his speed.
At that moment, I lost sight of him, and before I knew it, he was behind me.
‘shit!’
It was definitely my lack of combat experience.
Paaaaang!
I sped up to try and knock him off his feet.
But he was right behind me.
This is definitely elite level.
Bang! Ta-tang!
Ping! Ping!
The bullet whizzes past me quickly.
I didn’t have time to use my Halo skills.
If I slowed down even a little, it felt like a hole would be pierced through my body.
This guy is the biggest challenge in this battle.
I used my high-speed flight skill in succession and came down to the ground.
“You little rat! Just die!”
As I fled, flying between buildings, he screamed and fired his rifle wildly.
Boom! Boom!
A fist-sized hole was left in the bullet-hit building.
It also has strong firepower.
Paaaaang!
I crossed the square.
The bastard chases after me persistently.
I entered the main street lined with four-story buildings.
“Now is the time!”
He stopped flying at high speed and turned around.
At that moment, I felt the barrel of the gun pointed at me.
“Shoot!”
Bang! Tata tang! Bang!
Tutata tata tang!
The lasers ambushed in six four-story buildings and the trainees hidden on the ground fired their guns simultaneously.
Pufufufu!
“Cough!”
The elite flying magic knights of the empire collapsed helplessly on the ground, like a beehive.
Boom! Kookook!
But the shooting didn’t stop.
Another dozen shots were fired at the bastard.
“Cease fire!”
Captain Elmore approached the man cautiously.
When I confirmed that the enemy’s breathing was cut off, he raised his hand toward me.
Dozens of close range fire was no use even with evasion techniques.
The tension eased for a moment, and a cold sweat ran down my face.
This was the ambush site to capture the aerial magic knights.
There’s no shame in asking for help.
Because nothing else means anything before life.
“Commander! Are you okay?”
The trainees waved at me.
He gave me a sly laugh.
‘It was good that I brought you.’
Still, I received help from the awakened ones.
‘What’s the situation?’
I looked up at the sky.
The battle was still ongoing.
At that moment, inside the 6th building, Sergeant Watts, a medic, and Trainee Sidney Powell, 17th, were seen repeatedly using healing spells.
There were five wounded soldiers.
I had to end the fight before more people got hurt.
Paaaaang!
***
“Gasp! Gasp!”
“I caught them all.”
The battalion members gathered at an ambush site.
Most of them were injured and exhausted, but fortunately none of them died.
They fought very well today.
“Lieutenant Herman is badly injured.”
Lieutenant Phelps looked worried.
“He’s a strong guy, so he’ll be okay.”
I was worried too, but that was all I could say at the moment.
It hit me in the side of my bulletproof vest, where there was no plate.
But Sergeant Watts and Sydney are treating him with healing, so it won’t get any worse.
Chi-chik!
– Commander! It’s a bomber!
Ensign Kalin ascended into the air at the radio call.
Kalin pointed to one side.
I took out my best telescope and looked at it.
“We’re under attack.”
About 40 Imperial Aerial Magic Knights were attacking the Baeren bomber.
And about 80 of Bavaria’s aerial magic knights were fighting against the Imperial magic knights to protect the bomber.
“There are many Bavaria Airborne Magic Knights, so the bombing will be successful, right?”
Kalin asked.
“But I think a dozen or so will succeed?”
We’ve done enough.
Now it was their turn to preach.
however!
Lieutenant Kalin’s expression became increasingly serious.
It wasn’t easy to see the situation through the telescope, so I asked Kalin.
“Why? Isn’t it good?”
“The bomber······!”
I picked up the telescope again.
Then a bomber was seen crashing, belching dark red smoke.
And the bomber that crashed into the city was spewing out fierce flames, engulfing the surrounding buildings and streets.
“What the hell is going on?”
“There is a monster.”
“monster?”
“It’s definitely an Imperial Name-class Aerial Magic Knight. But it’s too strong. Baeren Aerial Magic Knights get swept away just by getting close, and one bomber is downed by one of its bullets.”
“what?”
I felt frustrated because I couldn’t see well.
Still, I guess a few will get through?
Kalin looked at me with an anxious face.
And shook his head.
“I think you’re wrong. There are only about ten bombers left now.”
Let’s take another look through the telescope, and we can see the bomber crashing in real time.
And bombers were seen crashing all over the city, exploding and spewing out black smoke.
“Commander! The Imperial Army has begun to move.”
Imperial forces east and southwest of Lagrind began to advance toward the city.
As it turned out, it looked like we were caught in a trap.
Even if the named-class aerial magic knight is strong, how can this result come about?
We had a tough time, but we won the air battle.
However, the Bavarian bombers and aerial magic knights lost the battle.
That means this mission has failed.
“You were wrong. This war has already been lost.”
“Lieutenant Kalin shook his head and said,
In an instant, many faces passed by.
Captain Elmore, who became a soldier to protect his son.
Kender, the shepherd boy who guided us through the cold mountain path.
My battalion members fought valiantly, even suffering serious injuries.
People walking through the streets of the capital with gloomy and anxious expressions.
And even the little girl who gave me her precious lollipop.
For a moment, I felt annoyed.
“No! The bombing will succeed.”
“Yes? But the bombers······.”
“Go down now and evacuate the agents and rangers to the sewers! This place is going to be a battleground soon.”
Lieutenant Kalin looked momentarily puzzled.
But he nodded to my orders.
“all right.”
Lieutenant Karlin went down.
It ain’t over till it’s over.
I couldn’t give up.
If I were someone who would give up easily, I would have become an alchemist hunter and committed suicide hundreds of times while being locked in an underground laboratory for 15 years.
And in the endless abyss, I would have given up thousands, tens of thousands more times.
It was the same now.
I haven’t given up yet.
And there was a final option left.
Paaaaang! Paaaaang!
Arrived above the large gate.
I put ten mana pills into my mouth.
[Body Strengthening (lv.1) skill used.]
My whole body feels full of strength.
In the workshop, I took out the Peacemaker Monster Sniper Rifle.
This large and heavy weapon cannot be used against aerial magic knights.
But if you’re shooting at the ground!
Crunch!
I loaded the flame spirit bomb.
And aimed around the large gate.
[Use the Fire Burst (lv.1) skill.]
[Use the Overlap (lv.1) skill.]
Will the spirit bullet be strengthened?
I don’t know about that.
You’ll know once you shoot it yourself.
I took a deep breath.
And pulled the trigger.
Tuaang!
Kwaaaaang! Hwaaaaah!
A powerful explosion accompanied by light swept through the surrounding area.
Now that I look at it, the spirit bullet is also strengthened.
I just dropped a powerful bomb on the ground that killed a Class A monster.
‘One step further!’
Crunch! Tuaang!
One more step!
Crunch! Thud! Kwaaaaang!
Tuaang! Huaaaah!
I pulled the trigger silently.
A violent explosion occurred around the large gate, and the ground was instantly engulfed in flames.
Every time I fired a bullet, my body shook and my shoulder felt like it was going to fall off.
But I felt refreshed.
‘I’ll shoot as many bullets as I want if it can end the war.’
Crunch! Tuaang!
