Chapter 453 – Episode 452 – The King of Knights Invasions
“Finally, an opportunity has come to us.”
Clemens, the knight king of the Kingdom of Temple, received a letter.
[Thug knight, how are you? I sent you a letter to give you good news.]
The sender is Mercenary King Raven. He was an enemy of the Knight King who was competing for supremacy with the Kingdom of Necia.
Originally, their relationship was not amicable enough to secretly exchange letters,
As they developed a common enemy called the Desire Empire, they had no choice but to join hands.
There was no other answer than this to deal with the pirate nation that instantly overthrew Necia, which had taken over the kingdom’s territory.
Therefore, Clemens was secretly exchanging information, avoiding the eyes of the empire.
The letter I received this time was also part of this information exchange,
The contents of the letter shocked Clemens.
[Currently, the capital of the Desire Empire has become a sea of fire. I did it.]
The capital collapsed.
Clemens could not believe that the heart of the empire had become a stone bowl.
The capital, the most important city in the country, is being robbed? That island where the vicious Grid resides? The island that no one can touch? Even if you were a mercenary king, wouldn’t it be too much?
Clemens was suspicious at first, but later learned that the capital had completely collapsed through reports from spies who had been spying on the empire.
[I used the same method as your favorite weapon. If I say this, will you understand?]
Clemens immediately realized that the method used by the mercenary king who contributed to the collapse was a giant robot.
Because there is no weapon other than the robot unit in the underground hangar that corresponds to the weapon he cherishes.
The King of Knights was surprised to learn that the Mercenary King also had a robot.
Until now, while exchanging information, not a single word related to this was written on the letterhead.
It appears that care was taken to prevent information from being leaked.
He thought it was shameful for Clemens that he didn’t say anything, but he decided to think about the petty grudge later.
What’s important now is that we have an opportunity to attack the empire built by the devil.
[How about using this opportunity to join hands with me and attack the empire?]
[I have the western land, and you have the eastern land. Let’s get what we want.]
Let’s start a two-front war.
Let’s divide the front in two and put pressure on the empire.
Now that the capital has collapsed, it is a good time.
The Mercenary King suggested this to the Knight King.
[As it happens, we have weapons to fight against monsters. And I succeeded in driving that grid. It’s a shame, but if I had more time, I would have killed him.]
You’re funny. You almost killed the guy that even Arwen couldn’t defeat?
The King of Knights thought that the Mercenary King was lying, but seeing that he returned safely and sent a letter after destroying the capital, he thought it was not just a bluff.
[I hope you have good news, King of Knights. Please don’t disappoint my expectations.]
Immediately after receiving the letter, Clemens immediately began preparing to compete.
She decided to unleash the robot unit that had been hidden so far.
Since all 500 aircraft in the hangar had been repaired, only Clemens’ decision remained.
And, making a decision, Clemens summoned the knights who had been selected as pilots.
“Let’s defeat the cruel devil and bring justice. Let’s take back our old land.”
A total of 500 people gathered, including the King of Knights.
They were selected to operate the robot and were wearing pilot uniforms, not armor.
For those who endured harsh training solely for the sake of their country’s victory, the news of going to the battlefield was good news, like rain in a drought. Although he was silently listening to the king’s speech, he was very happy on the inside.
“Can you do it?”
“””Yes!”””
The knights answered in unison to the King of Knights’ question. Their commands were loud enough to shake the hangar.
“Ugh, my ears are going to fall off.”
Duna, the only knight-king’s second daughter, said her words, though her ears were deaf, and her eyes were frowned upon.
“Okay, then let’s go!”
The Temple Kingdom, which had been sharpening its sword with bated breath, finally began to march towards the empire.
●●●
[Aaaaah!]
And, the purple monster that was attacked by the robot unit fell to the ground.
[Ugh…]
Appearance similar to the monster Kangrim transformed into. The difference is that, unlike Kangrim, it is purple.
Atria, a monster whose carapace had fallen off due to the robot army’s attack and was bleeding, stared straight ahead.
[Aaaaah!]
At this time, something fell next to Atria. It was a huge brown nine-tailed fox. She was supposed to have nine tails, but four of them were already gone. Only burn marks remained on the missing tail part.
[Shit. These are worse than Arwen!]
Gumiho and Su-ah swore.
She never imagined that the enemy would attack her like this, and she never imagined that she would be attacked in this way.
I could never have imagined that the King of Knights would mobilize more than hundreds of robots, the same weapon as the King of Mercenaries.
[Where on earth did you get that from?]
There were robots in front of the two people.
The upper body is human, and the lower body is a four-legged horse.
It was a robot reminiscent of a centaur from mythology. He was armed with silver armor, holding a spear in his right hand, and a shield in his left hand.
The eastern border of the empire was devastated by 500 robot units brought out by the Temple Kingdom to deal with the empire.
The outpost that had been taken from the Temple Kingdom was taken away in an instant,
Even part of the territory was given away. The Steel Legion led by Atria resisted, but was unable to inflict any damage on the robot.
In the end, the soldiers under Secretary Yeo were annihilated, and all the iron ships were buried. All that was left of her was herself and the head of her Nine-Tailed Tiger Tribe.
‘Are they different from the red guy I saw on the island?’
Sua had seen the red robot that invaded Fox Island.
Her consciousness, which was used as a power source, was connected to Kangrim, so she was able to know what was happening outside.
Probably other people who were also used as a power source saw the same thing.
It was something different from the red robot I saw back then.
The robot was like a time bomb about to explode. Perhaps that’s why Suah instinctively knew that it was very dangerous.
On the other hand, these robots were something different. There seemed to be something weak about that red guy. I think we can win if we attack each individual individually.
Of course, it was useless to do anything in a crowded field like that.
[You have to hold on somehow.]
Atria raised her body.
[Until the master comes, we will defend this place unconditionally. I can’t fall down in vain like last time.]
As she subdued Arwen, Atria could not help but feel a severe sense of helplessness. The master and the other slaves fought until the end, but he could not. It was disqualification as a secretary serving the master.
So she was very happy to be entrusted with conquering the Temple Kingdom.
She thought that she had taken the opportunity to repay all her sorrow for not being able to do anything during the subjugation war.
Therefore, she captured the outpost of the Temple Kingdom and captured her first princess, Drain.
Currently, Drain has been reduced to being her subordinate,
-Wooooo!
It was now the power source of Atria.
Her consciousness will be connected to herself and looking outside of her, but she will not recognize it as her own country.
Because she’s been modified for so long that she already is.
[I want to do that too…]
Even Su-ah knew that she had to defend herself, but there was a bit of coldness in her voice.
[We can’t hold on by ourselves. It might be better to just abandon this place and retreat.]
[…]
[At least if I could do something about those two guys, it would be worth a try…]
Among the hundreds of robots, there were two that stood out in particular.
One flag was very large. A cloak was draped over his shoulders, and the spear and shield were several times larger. Sua and Atria were able to recognize at once that it was a commander robot.
And the other one looks like a wizard.
Instead of a spear and shield, he held a huge staff with both hands.
Because of these two robots, Atria and Sua had no choice but to be pushed back significantly.
The wizard robot amplifies its power, the commander robot receives the power and distributes it to subordinates, and the subordinates who receive the power form a stronger defense shield,
[… !]
[… !]
Launches a more powerful attack. Just like the energy cannons that were aimed and fired at the two people at the same time.
Hundreds of energies rush in as a huge force. Atria and Sua immediately rolled over to avoid it, but the island they were on was completely hit by the force.
Half of the island that was hit head-on by the huge energy cannon disappeared. As if something had eaten me.
-Awww!
-Wooooo!
The brown nine-tailed fox flutters its remaining tail and pours out blue flames, and the purple monster shoots particle cannons from its mouth.
The special moves fired by the two monsters were all blocked by the defense shield created by the robot unit.
[Damn it!]
Su-ah, seeing that there was no hit at all, clicked her tongue,
[No, not like this…]
Even Atria, who had declared that she would defend the situation until the end in a situation where there was absolutely no answer, looked worse.
Will it end like this?
The moment I thought that,
-Keeeeek!
An ear-piercing scream rings out.
At the same time, a huge high-frequency wave struck the robot unit.
The shield was not broken, but the robots faltered slightly.
[Sorry. It has arrived now.]
[Master!]
[Master!]
The black monster, Kangrim, has finally arrived on the scene.
