Lord of Training - Chapter 82
Only Krnovel
82. White Devil.
[Hebrock Station]
“Please help me.”
“The child is starving.”
People who extend their hands whenever someone passes by.
They were recently vagrants who had come over from the Tafeld estate.
They were originally people who had homes and places to live, but they lost both their homes and their families to the ravages of war.
‘They say they received a considerable amount of war compensation from the Kingdom of Albion, so why are more and more people coming to Havelock?’
Hebrok Estate also built a shelter for homeless people and provided them with food, but they said it was difficult to handle the ever-increasing number of refugees.
Now, the Havelock Estate was not in good financial shape due to the war funds flowing into the Gate beyond the Wall.
This was also the case with the northern Glagoth Estate, where Uncle Sten Bombard was the lord.
Even though there are a lot of people who eat up the upper class and the middle class, this seemed a bit too much.
There seemed to be a lot of problems, but I pretended not to notice because it wasn’t my place to get involved.
The Kilgarvan family is not an easy family, so they will take care of it.
There was also the famous Brigadier General Chuck Kilgaven.
No matter how stupid the central figures are, they will know the importance of named level.
‘I thought I’d be unlucky because they said I was a genius······.’
The impression I got of Brigadier General Chuck Kilgaven at the S-class labyrinth gate wasn’t bad.
He wasn’t a very closed person.
He was a young, named knight in his early 30s, and had a good reputation within the 7th Mobile Corps.
Since my father was the Lord of Tafeld, Brigadier General Chuck would naturally inherit the position, making us neighbors.
‘We’re going to see each other for a long time, so we should get along well.’
Squeak! Squeak!
As the train stopped at the platform, people began to disembark.
And then faces I hadn’t seen in a long time came towards me.
“insect!”
“insect!”
“It’s been a while, Commander!”
“Come in. Special Sergeant Leopold, Sergeant Ivan.”
These two were the only members of my battalion who had not yet awakened their flight skills.
In a word, it was a real sore finger of mine.
Even after Harry’s hellish training and long training at the Spirit Gate, he was unable to awaken the flying technique, so it was considered that there was little hope.
However, I heard that Archduke Harry did not give up and sent the two to the Airborne Magic Training Corps to undergo airborne training and various other training programs in order to awaken them.
This time I called them both here.
“You must not have slept properly after coming here only a week from the capital.”
“No! The commander is calling, so you have to come quickly.”
I approached the two men and put my hands on their shoulders to comfort them.
“You’ve worked hard. Now, don’t be obsessed with awakening the flying technique any longer.”
“Huh? Are you telling me to stop?”
I nodded.
Two people clung to me with expressions on their faces like they were about to cry.
“We can do more. Give us a chance.”
“That’s right. Please don’t give up. I’ll work harder.”
It’s not that I didn’t know how they felt.
Of the 23 members who first awakened at the Labyrinth Gate with me, only two did not become aerial magic knights.
I guess he wants to keep going because he feels bad about all the effort he’s put in so far.
But they had their own work to do.
“I’m not telling you to quit the battalion. You will be in charge of new weapons in the future.”
“A new weapon?”
“Special Sergeant Leopold has the Surveying skill, so he can take charge of the Spirit Cannon and combat, and Sergeant Ivan has the Weapon Enhancement skill, so he can take charge of the machine gun and the joystick.”
“What is that?”
The two people had expressions of confusion.
“We don’t have time, so let’s go straight to the barrier.”
***
I wanted to see the performance of the Orbital Gigant quickly, but going into battle without any preparation was like asking for death.
However, it was not like I could pilot it alone, and I couldn’t entrust the orbital gigant to just anyone.
So what I thought of were two people.
In particular, Sergeant Leopold had the Surveying (lv. 3) skill, so he was in charge of the mortar until then and showed excellent predictive shooting ability.
So I believed that he would do well.
like now.
Drrrrr! Drrrrr! Kwaang!
The tracked vehicle raced through the forest, knocking down small trees and bushes.
Then we entered a valley with many small rocks.
Drrrrrr!
As the orbital vehicle came to a stop, the gigantic body moved to change direction.
Wheezing! Chuck!
And aim.
Phew! WHEEING! BUZZ!
Accurately hit the target 2km away.
Chi-chik!
– Sir, we did it!
I was also watching from the air.
Within 3 minutes of leaving the forest, I found the imaginary enemy I had created, moved to the firing point, and destroyed it with precise aim.
The training was a success.
“Good job.”
For a moment, tears welled up in my eyes.
The two men demonstrated outstanding skills in just five days.
Because they had been together for a long time, Leopold and Ivan’s chemistry was also special.
And of course, the surveying skill had the highest accuracy among the artillery-related skills.
The shells currently used by the Orbital Gigant are those of medium-sized cannons used by the Havelock Territory Artillery.
The shell was lighter, but the size was just right.
The cannons originally used by humans were made similarly to the cannons found at the Labyrinth Gate, so the shells were also the same size.
I wish the firepower was a bit stronger, but even at its current level, it’s more than capable of being effective in normal combat.
Because it’s a moving tank even without spirit shells.
Now, there will be more and more magical weapons like that······.
“All right. Now let’s go to the gate entrance.”
Originally, I had to train to hit moving objects, and I had to train to take on multiple enemies while moving, but that would take too much time.
Even now, the damage from the orcs inside the gate was increasing, so they couldn’t wait any longer.
However, it was impossible for me and the orcs to fight an S-class dimensional monster alone.
We stood before a large dimensional gate.
“Enter the gate!”
“yes!”
Drrrrr!
The orbital giant entered the gate.
It was finally my first real match.
***
“Krung? Orc Liberator! Is this going to be enough to take down that black demon?”
Half-orc Okalyn slammed his spear into the Gigant’s track wheels.
Of course, this level of shock won’t do any damage.
“The steel giant may look strong, but doesn’t it have an axe or a spear?”
Okarlin looked skeptical.
But Ork Chieftain Orksha nodded.
“You move with a dimensional core. You must be incredibly strong. Are those things on your shoulders cannons?”
“You know very well.”
“I’m studying human weapons these days.”
“This is not a human weapon. It is a weapon of your elven ancestors.”
Orksha and Okalyn are descendants of high elf and orc blood.
Orksha was closer to the elves, and Okalyn was closer to the orcs.
Additionally, Orksha had the ability to see a fragment of a person’s future by making skin contact.
“But it won’t be easy to take down that monster with this weapon. Hundreds of our orc warriors and war-orcs have been struck.”
“I heard too. That monster is 100 meters long.”
“Yes. The giant thing is so fast that the orcs can’t keep up.”
“Now that I am here, don’t worry.”
Okarlin bared his sharp fangs.
“Krung! Even the Orc Liberator won’t be able to do anything. He’s too strong.”
If the fierce Okaalin is like that, then the other orcs must be very discouraged right now.
Even orcs are living beings, and they are gripped by fear when they see a monster that is too powerful.
In that case, this orc liberator must catch him.
Of course, with orcs too.
“First, I’ll check where the guy is.”
Paaaaang!
The basics of hunting are search and reconnaissance.
I haven’t seen the guy yet.
If you try to scout before the orbital giant is ready, it’s dead information.
Knowing the most up-to-date information is essential to making accurate and safe plans.
***
The 100-meter monster was a bit of an exaggeration.
The body is about 60 meters long, and the head and long tail combined are about 100 meters long.
But it would be large enough and threatening to an orc.
Because it’s a S-class monster.
And it looked quite different from the Tuaptani monsters that live around here.
Rather, it looks more like a fox.
‘They say it’s a black devil, but it’s barely visible in the forest······.’
The trees inside this gate ranged in size from several tens of meters to the largest, many of which were over 200 meters tall.
And since the leaves were large and thick, it was always dark under the forest. So it was as if the dimensional monster with all its fur was using a stealth skill.
In terms of strength, it seemed much weaker than the S-class of the Labyrinth Gate, but it was smart and ran incredibly fast.
If it weren’t for my body vision skill, I wouldn’t have been able to identify the guy.
‘Huh? It disappeared again?’
I was chasing it well yesterday, but I lost it at this point.
It was clear that this was a monster habitat.
Two orc strongholds nearby were attacked and we disappeared from here twice.
I went back yesterday because it was evening, but I will definitely find it today!
Besides, he was very careful.
Even if they attacked the orcs, they only killed about twenty of them, and when the orcs swarmed, they quickly disappeared in an instant.
‘But I have this.’
I started to search for its location with the dimensional detector.
If he was a Class A monster, I wouldn’t have found him.
However, since the S-class monster contained a small dimensional core, if it was within 3km······.
‘I found it! This is your lair!’
It was so easy to find.
A huge tree that appears to be 300 meters tall.
There was a large hole at the bottom.
I first looked at the surrounding terrain.
The bushes are so thick that you won’t be able to see very well.
Since the bastard’s fur was black, it seemed difficult to detect it with the naked eye and hit it with the spirit cannon.
If I made a mistake and didn’t catch it this time, it would go deeper into the forest, and I didn’t know when it would attack again, so I had to catch it right away.
We slowly planned our strategy and now it was time to catch the bastard.
***
He took up residence in a stronghold he frequently visited.
“Kook! Be careful! He doesn’t care about day or night.”
“Ooooooh!”
Okarlin ground his teeth.
The other orcs seemed to be watching in fear, but she was furious at the thought of the orcs who had died to the black demon.
I didn’t chase the guy in the air.
After following the thing through the air for three days, it seemed like the monster knew my movements.
From then on, the bastard did not attack the orc base and only moved along other routes, so I waited on this tree for four days.
‘Still, he will definitely come!’
There’s an orc base in my territory, so I’ll keep coming until I’ve chased them all out.
like now!
Papa Pot!
He scaled the 30-meter high fortress walls with ease.
“Kuaaaang!”
Crunch! Crunch!
“Kueuk!”
“Kook!”
The orcs screamed and fell.
Several orcs rushed in, but the black demon’s movements were too fast and the orcs fell without a fight.
The creature bit and scratched the orc, then swung its tail to knock him down.
Not yet!
I gritted my teeth.
The orcs I worked so hard to save were sacrificed, but it wasn’t time yet.
I waited for him to let his guard down.
“Kuaaaa!”
The black devil screamed.
He instantly killed about twenty orcs who rushed at him.
And then I turned around without any hesitation.
Papapa! Pot!
Easily climb over the fortress wall and land!
Tuaang!
Phew! Hwarururur!
“Kueeeeek!”
The black devil screamed.
A fire spirit bullet hit the bastard’s torso.
Of course, it was the power that added up to Penetration (lv. 3), Fire Burst (lv. 3), and Stack (lv. 3).
The black demon glared at me, even though his fur was burning and his flesh was melting in agony.
It was an eerie moment.
The bastard’s fur was all over his body, and one side of his skin was badly disfigured with a wound.
But it didn’t cause fatal injuries.
I was going to give it one more shot.
“Kooooook!”
“Kook!”
The warlocks hiding everywhere started to rush in first.
Tuan! Tuan!
The Warlocks fired large shotguns.
Thud! Thud!
But the black devil was not hit at all.
The bullets fired by the orc are white paint bullets.
Anyway, the Orc’s shotgun couldn’t hit the S-class monster.
So I made him a white devil instead of a black devil.
“Kuaa!”
Boooooooo!
Thud! Thud thud!
As the creature swung its massive forelegs, four two-meter-tall orcs flew away.
“Ooooooh!”
Then Okarlin charged from behind the monster, holding a long spear.
Shaeeek! Phew!
“Kuaak!”
The hind leg was stabbed with a spear.
You hurt a monster!
Okarlin’s power was beyond imagination.
but!
Phew!
“Kueuk!”
Boom! Kookook!
Okarlin was hit in the hind legs and flew 20 meters before falling to the ground.
Pot! Dadadadak!
And the white devil started running through the forest.
Paaaaang!
I flew to Okarin.
“are you okay?”
“Ugh! Orc Liberator! You must kill that guy!”
“I get it!”
I shouted at the orcs.
“Orcs are strong! Let’s kill the monsters!”
“Let’s kill the monster!”
“Kooooook!”
Orcs with axes and swords started running through the forest.
Hundreds, if not thousands, of orcs chased the monster.
And me too!
