Lord of Training - Chapter 87
Only Krnovel
87. 18 levels left.
It was strange that I never saw any aerial magic knights the several times I reconnoitred.
Are you on vacation?
That can’t be happening…
Bang! Tata tang! Bang!
They were so desperate that they were firing their rifles at the orbital giant even though it was out of range.
Replaced with a new magazine.
[Use the High-Speed Flight (lv.3) skill.]
Paaaaang!
‘It’s time for me to really earn my keep!’
Just how far will my current skills go?
While the enemies were distracted by the orbital gigant, he flew high into the air.
And then dive down!
aiming.
[Use the Penetration (lv.3) skill.]
[Use the Fire Burst (lv.3) skill.]
[Use the Overlap (lv.3) skill.]
Taang!
Phew!
One enemy disappeared.
The first bullet is big and flashy!
They come looking for me late.
Paaaaang!
Dash through the enemies.
Taang!
“Ugh!”
Another bullet to the heart.
The guy fell.
“catch!”
“Kill him!”
Swish swish swish!
Five enemies are chasing me.
But it’s slow.
Paaaaang! Paaaaang!
I quickly gained distance by using the high-speed flight (lv.3) and stacking (lv.3) skills.
Gain altitude again, and turn your back on the sun.
And then I charge at the guys coming at me.
Paaaaang!
[Uses Halo (lv.3) skill.]
Bang! Ta-Tan-Tan! Bang!
Thud! Thud! Thud!
The Halo (lv.3) shields glowed and activated in succession.
As I quickly approached, the enemy aerial magic knight looked at me with surprised eyes.
Bang! Bang!
“Ugh!”
Finish by brushing past it.
He fell down clutching his chest.
“What, what are you doing! Chase me!”
Right now, at this moment, numbers have no meaning.
Paaaaang!
Because I had the advantage in speed, skill, and even the ability to see the battlefield.
[Uses the skill Dynamic Vision (lv.1).]
That guy looks like a commander!
A guy who is the strongest and sends out his subordinates.
Or maybe it was the gap in skill that was felt at the first meeting?
Bang! Ta-tang!
The group of guys shoot at the approaching day.
Turn left.
[Use the High-Speed Flight (lv.3) skill.]
[Use the Overlap (lv.3) skill.]
Paaaaang!
It’s not that he doesn’t have any skills.
Ping! Ping! Ping!
Bullets are raining down on me.
Paaaaang!
Increased altitude.
They didn’t chase me anymore.
I know that I can’t compete with you in speed.
They looked like a school of mackerel huddled together to ward off their natural enemies.
Waiting for me to come.
Then I’ll make them disperse.
[Use the Body Strengthening (lv.3) skill.]
Crunch!
He picked up the Peacemaker sniper rifle.
‘This is my greatest strength!’
You can take out and use any weapon in the workshop.
It’s a shame that it’s a regular sniper bullet and not a spirit bullet.
Of course the power.
Tuaang!
Phew!
Another aerial magician fell down, engulfed in flames.
Even though he was a magic knight with few defensive skills, he couldn’t stop the bullet that had the Penetration (lv. 3) skill, Fire Burst (lv. 3), and Stack (lv. 3) skills added to it.
Crunch!
As I loaded the second bullet, the enemies flew towards me.
Tuaang!
Phew!
Gave me one more bullet.
Now there are seven left.
I put the Peacemaker in the workshop and took out the Draco automatic gun.
The enemy is near.
First, take refuge.
Paaaaang! Paaaaang!
I took some distance and turned around again.
The morning sunlight shone upon me.
Then the auto-tinting goggles blocked the sunlight.
This is really useful!
Automatically aim the shotgun.
Charge again.
Paaaaang!
[Use the Air Shield (lv.3) skill.]
Tata tang! Tata tang!
Pop pop!
[Use the Air Shield (lv.3) skill.]
One side blocks, the other side shoots.
If you get caught behind, speed up.
Climb up and then dash down.
Tata tata tang!
“Ugh!”
“Ahh!”
A sky full of bullets!
Cross to kill each other.
It’s cool to the liver, but the moment you stop, it’s death.
After a dozen or so crossovers and clashes, there are now only three enemies left!
“Retreat!”
Paaaaang!
An enemy ace-level commander who escapes using high-speed flight.
Two agents chasing after them with difficulty from behind.
I didn’t chase.
Because you had Lt. Col. Audrey and the 1st Battalion there.
‘Haa! It’s still not enough······.’
It was an overwhelming victory, but it was disappointing compared to the named-class aerial magic knights we saw at the S-class labyrinth gate.
If I met a named person after this theory, I would have no chance of winning.
But that doesn’t mean I can just run away on my own like that commander.
I looked down.
Meanwhile, two orbital giants destroyed the city hall building and destroyed the guard post.
Chi-chik!
“Now let’s go back to the assembly point!”
– Old story!
***
When we returned to the assembly point, the team members were already waiting.
Lieutenant Colonel Audrey came over and said.
“On the way, I met some enemy aerial magic knights.”
“What happened?”
“All three have been taken care of.”
“Good job.”
The attack by about 50 aerial magic knights was a great success.
They rushed in from the rear, destroyed key enemy facilities, disabled coastal cannons, and destroyed five enemy warships guarding the port.
And now, enemies were swarming towards this place in a black horde.
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!
The long-range orbital giant fired first.
“Okay! Everyone, replenish your ammunition!”
“yes!”
Major Phelps and Ensign Stella opened the subspace storage room and supplied magazines and magic grenades.
The enemy literally sent a brigade of troops to capture us.
With the Orbital Giants and Aerial Magic Knights holding firm in the center of the island, it seems like an inevitable choice.
“We are defending this place from now on!”
About 50 aerial magic knights ascended about 60 meters into the air.
We lined up in a long line and aimed our rifles forward.
“Prepare to fire!”
Clank! Clank!
“Don’t spare your skills! Unleash all your firepower!”
If you’ve been attacking the enemy until now, now you’re defending this hill.
“Show the enemy the fear of the Aerial Magic Knight! Fire!”
“Commence firing!”
“Fire!”
Bang! Ta-ta-ta-tang! Ta-tang!
Everyone used their best skills and fired their rifles indiscriminately.
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!
About 500 meters ahead, an explosion occurred and flames shot up in a straight line.
And dozens of soldiers who had been advancing fell.
I turned on the dimensional radio.
Chi-chik!
“Operation success! I repeat. Operation success!”
– Thank you for your hard work, Brigadier General Alain! Now leave it to us.
I heard the agitated voice of Major General Warren.
And after a while.
A huge fire erupted along the shore, accompanied by loud noises.
The troops rushing toward us began to move in confusion.
In front, about 50 magic knights and fearsome orbital gigants were holding out, firing cannons and machine guns, while behind, Atlan’s warships were firing cannons and thousands of troops were landing.
“They’re running away!”
“Wow!”
As expected, striking the enemy command center first was the right answer.
But if I ran away from here, there was nowhere to go.
There was a jungle-like forest on the southern side of the island, but how long would it last there?
And there was a medium-sized dimensional gate on the east side of the island where they had large-scale farming, but we had to get through it and cross this mountain to get there.
“Commander Alain, shouldn’t we also help in the fight?”
Lieutenant Colonel Audrey asked.
“What are you doing? We’ve done enough. Let’s take a rest now.”
We gathered around the orbital giant.
And everyone fell to the floor.
“You all worked hard. Drink some water. Huh? Is there blood on your forehead?”
A four-centimeter long red line was drawn on Lieutenant Colonel Audrey’s forehead.
“Oh! It’s nothing. It was just a little scratch from debris flying from the demolition of a building.”
“Ensign Watts! Ensign Watts! Where are you?”
“Here it is.”
Ensign Watts came running.
“Come on, treat Colonel Audrey’s forehead. Come on!”
“yes.”
Lieutenant Watts cast the Healing (lv.3) skill.
“Sergeant, aren’t you taking too much care of Lieutenant Colonel Audrey?”
“That’s right. The bullet grazed my shoulder.”
Then each soldier said something.
But I couldn’t hear it very well.
“What do you think? I hope you don’t get a scar on your pretty face?”
“Yes. By tomorrow, it will disappear cleanly without a trace.”
“Phew! That’s a relief.”
I breathed a sigh of relief, and at that moment, Lieutenant Colonel Audrey’s face turned red.
It was no other place than a face.
If I get even a scar, I’m dead to Archduke Harry.
***
Because Rowald Island was so large, it took two days to take control of the entire island.
Ten thousand troops landed, and the battle was a great success.
The enemy suffered heavy casualties, with the number of soldiers killed in the Nubian Kingdom reaching 7,000, and many more surrendering.
Although there were a huge number of prisoners, management was not difficult.
There were hundreds of collective farms within the medium-sized gate, so they were divided and housed, and Rowald Island became an outpost for the Atlan Kingdom army.
The island of Rowald was geographically located at the exact center of the Kingdom of Nubua and was a major island that supplied food to the capital city of Waples, so they too were now beginning to feel great pressure.
And with the enemy aerial magic knights reduced by 12, the number of aerial magic knights in the Kingdom of Nubua was around 60.
Now, our special forces were not inferior in terms of the level or numbers of the airborne magic knights.
Also, it was only two days by boat from here to Waples, and if there were bombers available, they could have bombed it.
That’s why supplies and troops were constantly being added to the port of Barstow, and even bombers were being secretly transferred to large transport ships.
‘I’ve finally bought myself some time.’
So it was time to move on.
***
[Special Airborne Magic Flyer Command Tent]
All the men gathered inside the tent.
“Phelps, Herman, John, Jester, and Franco. These five are following me. And Lieutenant Colonel Audrey, the deputy commander, will take command.”
“Where are you going?”
Lieutenant Colonel Audrey asked.
“It’s reconnaissance. We have to fly at high speeds and move quickly, so take the rest of your unit and guard this outpost well.”
Audrey seemed to want to go too, but I couldn’t take her with me.
I feel safe when she is with her subordinates, even when I am not around.
No matter how many battles I fight here and how many enemy aerial magic knights I kill, my level doesn’t go up.
An aerial magic knight could only gain experience by killing dimensional monsters, and this was the only way for me to become an S-rank aerial magic knight.
“Don’t worry about this place, just be careful.”
“And if anything happens, contact me immediately via dimensional radio.”
“all right.”
After receiving the salute from Lieutenant Colonel Audrey and his men, he came out of the tent.
Then Lieutenant Colonel Nicole followed.
“Can I go too? I know you’re not going on reconnaissance.”
Of course, not only Lieutenant Colonel Nicole but also my existing subordinates knew that I was not going on a reconnaissance mission.
I shook my head.
“I heard there are four elite-level knights among the enemy air magicians. So I can’t leave only Lieutenant Colonel Audrey. And you have to command the 2nd Battalion as well. But next time, I will definitely take you with me.”
“Okay! I see.”
Lieutenant Colonel Nicole backed down obediently.
Her desire to become stronger may be greater than mine.
When I saw her regretful expression, I couldn’t just leave.
I held out a small box containing mana pills.
“With this amount, I should be able to train without resting for a while.”
“thank you!”
So I said goodbye to the members and moved on with five of them.
***
[Backdoor Island]
It was a name I gave myself.
“There is a gate in front of the waterfall.”
Lieutenant Franco looked surprised.
“Okay! We don’t have much time. Let’s get right in.”
We entered the gate.
[S-Grade Labyrinth Gate]
I entered the gate, but it was dark all around.
“Light the fire!”
Pot! Pop!
Fortunately, the sand didn’t get that far inside.
The agents had been making expressions of bewilderment since a while ago.
The only person who knew exactly where this place was was Major Phelps.
Anyway, the status window didn’t even open.
For the rest, it’s probably easier to just think, ‘I’ve entered some dimensional gate!’
“Where on earth am I?”
Lieutenant Franco had many questions.
“This is the place that will make us very strong.”
The other members had been through so much with me that they expected it to be the same this time.
I first went into the ventilation duct in the ceiling.
When I came to this island before to get the orbital giant, it was a place I had already confirmed.
After climbing up for a while, we came across a ventilator bent in the shape of the letter L. We removed it and went out, and we found ourselves in an oasis forest.
When viewed from the sky, it looked exactly like a rock and was so cleverly hidden that even I had a hard time distinguishing it.
“Huh! That’s a desert.”
“From now on, everyone, check your mana levels carefully. If you get separated, let’s meet again in the oasis forest.”
“yes!”
Lieutenant Franco asked.
“Chief, what are we doing here?”
“It’s hunting. Hunting S-class dimensional monsters.”
“Huh? S-rank?”
Lieutenant Franco and all of his men looked astonished.
This was the only way for me to become a named player and for these guys to advance to the next level.
So I brought spirit shells and prepared a bunch of other things.
‘Here, you can become an S-rank aerial magic knight within a month!’
There are now 18 levels left.
