Lord of Training - Chapter 83



Only Krnovel

83. Go south.

Paaaaang!

I caught up with him in an instant.

I hit him hard.

It was just to the point of making me angry.

I heard the dimensional radio.

Chi-chik!

“The bastard is heading for the cave! Get moving!”

– Yes! Captain, leave it to me!

Right now I only have two fire spirit bullets.

The White Devil is said to be weaker than the Labyrinth Gate monster, but this won’t kill him.

But he wasn’t so thoughtless as to swallow steel war dolls and bombs like a dimensional dragon.

Orbital Gigant, how powerful is it?

Crunch!

Tata tang! Tata tata tang!

Pufferpuff! Pufferpuff!

‘What kind of gunshot sound is this cheerful?’

I just fired the Draco assault rifle.

Is it because I’ve only shot pistol-level rifles so far?

The speaking ability is exhausted.

But I couldn’t hit the guy.

The trees and bushes were thick here, and the thing ran so fast.

Still, Okarin did his part!

The spear was still stuck in his hind leg.

The speed wasn’t significantly slower, but it still seemed to have some effect.

Chi-chik!

“We’re almost at the cave!”

– Yes! I just confirmed the target.

As I turned my head, I saw an orbital gigant aimed its spirit cannon at my body’s vision.

‘You’ve got a good position. You should be able to fire at least three shots there!’

Boom! Bam!

Hwaaaaah!

In an instant, flames engulfed a 50-meter area.

I was a little surprised by the hot heat.

“Kuaak!”

The white devil jumped up in surprise.

Unfortunately, although the direction and timing were good, I hit a tree.

Trees snapped and flames rose.

The startled man ran faster.

Tata tang! Tata tang!

I kept firing my automatic rifle along with my skills to keep him from coming to his senses. And I also stopped him from rushing towards the orbital gigant.

Knock knock! Knock knock!

As the orbital giant stopped at its next location, the spirit cannon began to rotate.

Leopold’s Surveying (lv. 3) skill was a skill that measured the surrounding terrain tightly like a net and predicted which part to shoot at to hit the enemy by taking into account their movement speed.

Phew!

The spirit cannon fired again.

Kwaaaaang! Crackle!

“Kuaaaaak!”

“Ah! What a pity!”

I shouted without realizing it.

The lightning spirit shell landed slightly behind him, and only one of his legs was struck by the lightning.

The Lightning Spirit Shell had the ability to shock, but unlike other shells, it had a range of only 20 meters, so it had to be aimed very precisely.

Still, the bastard’s speed slowed down, perhaps because one of his legs was paralyzed.

‘Now that point is the last!’

The orbital giant has moved.

It was about moving to the final firing point.

And the white devil almost reached the entrance to the cave.

That guy’s burrows are connected to several places, so it’s not easy to chase him once you go inside.

Of course, if you tell me to chase after him, I will, but I have to kill him alone.

Because the orbital giant is slow, we can’t catch up.

Knock! Knock!

Wow!

The Gigant’s spirit cannon was aimed at the entrance to its den.

That’s the last point!

Tata tata tang!

I also kept shooting at the bastard’s back, changing magazines.

I got a few shots right, but that wasn’t enough to stop the guy.

Phew!

The last shell has been fired.

WHHH! KWAAH!

‘done!’

A shell hit the White Devil’s foreleg.

Wheeeeeeing!

Zzz! Zzzzzzz! Zzzzzzz!

The bitter cold swept through, instantly freezing the white demon’s body.

Phew!

Then the second cannon fired.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

‘Oh! It’s the second lightning shell!’

The principle is to tie the upper body and front legs with cold air and support them with electricity.

The white monster couldn’t even scream, but just trembled as if in pain.

The shock from the lightning seemed to be severe because of its small size.

“Kooooook!”

“uh?”

Okarlin rushed forward with an axe in hand.

‘What? When did you come here?’

Papat!

He used the spear he had stabbed as a stepping stone to climb up to the white devil’s back, which was 15 meters high from the ground. Then he started cutting off its neck with an axe.

Scratch! Scratch!

The wound wasn’t big, but the flesh was torn and blood began to spurt out.

“Kuaa!”

“Kook!”

And hundreds of orcs were running from behind.

The first orcs to arrive clung to the dimensional monster’s legs and body and swung their axes and large swords wildly.

Oh, right! I can’t miss out either.

That’s experience.

Paaaaang!

I aimed the Draco automatic rifle at the face of the bastard who rolled his eyes and trembled.

Crunch!

Tata tang! Tata tang!

Pfft! Pfft! Pfft!

Hwaaaaah!

“Wow!”

Drrrrrr!

In the meantime, the orbital giant has also come within reach.

And then he charged straight towards the monster at top speed.

Ddddddddd!

Boom! Puaak!

White bones pierced the dimensional monster’s torso.

What Orbital Gigant held in his hand was a dimensional dragon’s rib, with one end pointed.

“Kuaaaa!”

The bastard screamed as the shock effect finally wore off.

But the dragon’s ribs completely pierced through his torso, leaving him unable to move.

“Okalin, take it!”

WHACK! chin!

He handed her a spear made of dragon bone.

“Kooooook!”

Okarin stabbed the white devil in the neck with all his might.

Shaeeek! Phew!

As his neck was pierced, the bastard writhed in pain.

The orcs that were hanging on the body and attacking fell like corn.

But the orc did not give up and charged again.

In an instant, dozens of orcs climbed onto the bastard’s body and struck him with their axes.

Okarlin also repeatedly stabbed the spear into his neck.

“Die soon!”

Tata tang! Tata tang!

I also made that bastard’s face into a beehive.

[Level up.]

The guy lowered his head.

I shouted at the orcs.

“We caught the black devil!”

“Ooooooh!”

“Kook! Kook!”

The orcs’ roar is loud.

Catching the monster was a huge success.

Save the orc’s prayer and test the new weapon.

And then he took out a small dimensional core from the monster’s body.

[Small Dimensional Core (Dimensional Energy Remaining – 74.9%)]

“How are you two feeling?”

“It’s the best!”

“I’m having fun. I’m also thrilled.”

“You are now the best firepower of our Air Magic Battalion!”

“Thank you. Just leave it to any of them!”

“That’s right. I’ll completely destroy it.”

Leopold and Ivan also felt great pride in having played a crucial role in capturing this giant monster.

***

According to the dimensional radio, the Labyrinth Gate Expedition was returning to Rondos from Pascaltes in the Kingdom of Lutes.

I too was taking an orbital gigant from the island with the dimensional gate and heading to the port of Vastow, the southernmost point of the Atlan Kingdom.

First of all, the orbital gigant wasn’t mine. And the dimensional core wasn’t mine to find either.

So I had to return it to the expedition team.

He hid a dimensional submarine on a cliff on the east coast of Barstow, deliberately revealing the appearance of an orbital giant.

As if I had crossed over from the border of the Kingdom of Nubia.

And under the escort of soldiers, he headed to the capital city of Rondos.

Of course, I drove the orbital giant.

By the time I arrived at the capital city of Rondos, the expedition force had already returned, and the orbital gigant had been taken by the 2nd Legion, which was the main force of the expedition force.

He said that no decision has been made yet on what to do with the four orbital giants.

[Aviation Magic Training Corps]

“Captain Alain!”

“Here it is!”

The battalion men came rushing in.

But everyone’s appearance was atrocious.

“Why are you here?”

“You are receiving special training prepared by His Royal Highness the Duke of Harry.”

“Special training?”

Phelps said with a haggard look.

“Please give me some mana pills first. I’m dying from lack of mana.”

I gave away mana pills.

Everyone looked relieved after eating the Mana pills.

“I haven’t been able to train properly because I didn’t have any Mana Rings.”

“I thought I was going to die from withdrawal symptoms.”

I knew what you meant.

The reason why I and my team were able to grow so rapidly was because of Mana Hwan.

The mana rings I gave out before entering the labyrinth gate would have already run out. Then, the number of hours the members could fly in the sky each day was limited. They wouldn’t have been able to train either.

Captain Phelps took out a cigarette and began to smoke it.

“Whew! Your Highness the Grand Duke has changed a lot.”

“······?”

“You are personally training us to acquire high-speed flight skills.”

“I train every day until my mana runs out, and I feel like I’m going to die. And you yourself train for hours every day.”

“Your Highness?”

It seems like your pride was greatly hurt at the Labyrinth Gate this time.

He was once the greatest aerial magic knight in the Atlan Kingdom and was considered the best on the continent.

But how bad must it have been for him to be chased by the Empire’s Brigadier General Enhardt without even being able to put up a proper fight?

But the age barrier was a barrier that was not easily overcome.

Paaaaang!

Paaang!

Two people came down from the sky almost simultaneously.

“insect!”

“Chung! You’re here.”

I was saluted by Lieutenant Colonel Nicole and Major Audrey.

‘Huh? A lieutenant colonel?’

Major Audrey Russell’s rank insignia had changed.

Is the Grand Duke’s influence this good?

If this continues, you’ll end up in a higher rank than me.

The two people were silent.

It feels like a cold wind is blowing.

“Captain Audrey, let me hear your report.”

For a moment a smile spread across Lieutenant Colonel Audrey’s face.

“Our aviation squadron office is inside the building. Come in.”

“Okay.”

I went into the building with Lieutenant Colonel Audrey.

In fact, neither Lieutenant Colonel Audrey nor Lieutenant Colonel Nicole were officially my subordinates yet.

But Audrey was on this expedition, and as I had appointed her as the commanding officer, I was going to hear a report on the withdrawal process leading up to here.

“So, the Republic’s fleet has been added to Pascaltes?”

“Yes. It seems to be strengthening its control over the Kingdom of Lutes.”

Somehow the atmosphere didn’t feel good.

The Republic of Arica was a navy-based country.

They had already taken control of most of the politics and industry of the Kingdom of Lutes, but their intentions in sending more troops were suspicious.

The Kingdom of Idaeron Lutes appeared to have moved from being a colony of the Lacrosse Empire to a colony of the Republic of Arica.

‘Surely there won’t be a problem with my Pairing City Gate business license?’

smart.

Captain Phelps opened the door and came in.

“There is a vehicle waiting outside.”

“car?”

“They say they came to pick you up from the Supreme Command.”

“High Command?”

***

I’m very busy as soon as I get back.

But why is the Supreme Command looking for me, not the Privy Council or the Field Command?

Do you have any questions about this S-rank Labyrinth Gate?

We arrived quickly as it was not far from the Aviation Magic Training Center.

[High Command]

A four-story building.

This was the highest command center of the Atlan Kingdom Army.

Most of the people coming and going were generals.

As I entered the entrance with the guiding officer, I saw a welcoming face.

“Chuck! Brigadier General.”

“Colonel Alain, you are safe.”

“Thank you so much for the help at the Labyrinth Gate. Thanks to you, I was able to return safely.”

“You say what I want to say.”

Brigadier General Chuck Killgarven chuckled.

“So what’s going on here?”

“I stopped by for a moment before returning to the unit.”

He belongs to the 7th Mobile Corps.

The 7th Mobile Corps was currently stationed on the border between the Kingdom of Lutes and the Empire of Lacrosse.

“excuse me······.”

“huh?”

“Do you know the situation in the Tafeld estate?”

“······?”

Looking at Brigadier General Chuck’s face, it seemed like he didn’t know much.

I briefly explained the current situation of Tafeld.

As he listened to the story, Brigadier General Chuck’s expression became serious.

“Thank you. Let’s have a drink next time.”

Brigadier General Chuck got into his car and went straight away.

I went into the high command building.

[Supreme Commander’s Office]

But why am I here?

This was the room of Marshal Tomás Angelo, the supreme commander of Atlan.

I was sitting in front of the room.

And I’ve been waiting for two hours already.

‘If you were going to make me wait like this, why did you call me so early?’

How much longer did I have to wait like that?

The door opened.

And then the generals with stars on their shoulders came out.

Most of the faces were familiar: brigade commanders from the 2nd Corps.

I also saw Brigadier General Ray Daras, who was once my direct superior.

But their expressions were not good.

And the last one to come out was my current superior, Commander Tollip.

Lieutenant General Tollip looked at me and approached me.

“insect!”

“You did a good job this time, Colonel Alain.”

“no.”

“I’m sorry. I wish you had given me some rest······.”

Lieutenant General Tollip patted me on the shoulder.

What do you mean?

You’ve been on an expedition for over six months, where are you going next?

“Colonel Alain, please come in.”

“Let’s go in.”

I entered the Supreme Commander’s office.

But sitting in the commander’s seat was Archduke Harry Russell.

***

“As of today, I have been appointed Supreme Commander of the Atlan Kingdom Army.”

“Congratulations.”

“What, Kyung-ha? You’ve just been put in a difficult position again.”

Archduke Harry Russell took the throne as Marshal of Atlan.

“As you well know, if things continue this way, our Atlan will be pushed back by the Lacrosse Empire and the Republic of Arica. His Majesty the King is also worried about that.”

It seemed that Archduke Harry had really learned a lot from this expedition.

Now, more than ten years after his retirement, Atlan was completely pushed back by the Empire and the Republic.

It was obvious that if another ten years passed like this, the two powers would be no match for each other.

Moreover, the three kingdoms on the southern continent had formed an alliance with each other and were growing in power, so a new coalition of power was expected soon.

It seemed that these global changes and sense of crisis had called him back to the field.

“You and your unit should go south.”

“If you say south, are you talking about the border of the Kingdom of Nubia?”

“That’s right. We must completely conquer the thorny kingdom of Nubua within a year.”

“······?”

“The Kingdom’s navy and military can no longer be divided in two.”

There was no time to rest and train the battalion members.

“And from now on, you and your battalion are no longer the 2nd Corps, but a special air magic squadron directly under the Supreme Command.”

“Is this a flyer?”

“I will be replenishing the Airborne Magic Knights soon. And you are the squadron commander. Congratulations, Brigadier General Alain Bombard.”

For a moment I was dumbfounded.

Promotion to brigadier general? After only 3 years of commission?

I’m not even a named-class aerial magic knight?

Moreover, if you were a brigadier general in the Atlan army, you had to be given the title of baron.

Aren’t you pushing too hard just because he saved your life at the gate?

If it was the Kingdom of Nubia, then this was where I made the backdoor.

Still, we can buy some time to move the remaining orbital giants.

‘But can the war be ended within a year?’

There are thousands of islands there······.
