Chapter 394 – 394. Flowers Bloom Even at Graves (2)
– One –
Tup, Tup, Tup, Tup.
“Turn it off…!”
Soldiers write evil.
Carefully taking one step after another, I climb up with energy toward the summit that seems far away.
Whoa oh oh!
Faced with the harsh winds of early winter,
Rumble.
Hooded.
Sweat beads
As if to prove their struggle against fear, steam rises from the whole body of the soldiers.
Kwajik!
Thump, thump, thump!
Drive a bolt into the wood.
On the hook at its tail,
Zureuk, zurureuk.
I threaded the rope that was hanging on my back,
Whee profit.
Took.
Throw it down and stretch it.
“Hey! Pull!”
The soldier who threw the rope looked down and shouted,
Whoops, whoops!
Papaepaeng!
Someone heard his voice and pulled the rope hard from below.
Carefully check that they are securely fastened and that you can put your weight on them.
“Enough! Go up!”
The soldier who was putting tension on the rope from below answered.
Similar sights are happening everywhere.
Starting with it,
Chuck, Chuck, Chuck, Chuck!
Tumble!
Chick, jiggiggig.
The soldiers start climbing the cliff one by one.
As the soldiers began to rise from below,
Tup, Tup.
Whoops, kakak!
The soldiers who were climbing first at the lead resume their ascent.
The hill still remains for a long time, but the faces of the soldiers begin to straighten little by little.
Tension and a sense of achievement coexist on the faces of the soldiers.
Because it seemed that sooner or later, we would be able to conquer this ridiculous precipice.
Tup, Tup!
Kagak!
Whoa, whoa, whoa!
Step by step, step by step carefully.
One span, another span, carefully stretch out your hand.
For the safety of not only herself but also those who will follow her, she climbs up, carefully checking that the bolts and ropes are fastened firmly to the trees forming the cliff.
“Climb up a bit quickly! Can you jump over it before the sun goes down today?”
“I’m not going in front of you, oops! What’s the use of urging me to go quickly? Gancha! If you’re not going to help me, just shut up!”
“I’m sick, I’m bored to death, I’m bored to death…”
Thousands of soldiers clung to the cliff.
And several times more soldiers were waiting behind him in line with shields and swords on their backs.
Those who stood at the back of the queue and watched the scene felt like they were watching a swarm of ants clinging to the cliff and crawling.
Tup, Tup, Tup!
Bang, bang.
Honest, Honest.
They intended to climb over a wooden cliff that was tens of meters high, relying on a rope.
If successfully crossed, the soldiers would immediately form a huge encirclement to kill or capture the enemy.
“Turn it off!”
“Hee-eok, hee-eok, hee-eok…”
Soldiers did not climb barefoot.
No, I couldn’t.
Due to the increasingly chilly weather, they had to wear thick cotton clothes.
Because the supply route was blocked by the cliff, the soldiers had to carry all of their weapons, personal equipment, and even a small amount of food for the time being.
No matter how light the armament was, if the burden was reduced more than that, the operation could not be carried out.
That’s why they were getting tired faster than expected.
If it weren’t for the elite soldiers raised by Regal, it was clear that most of them would have fallen behind long ago.
Tup, Tup, Chuck.
“Ha, ha, ha, ha…”
However, as long as you start climbing any height, there is an end to it, so the first soldier with the summit in front of you appears.
It was clear that if I just passed the hill and landed on the other side, I would be given a fairly long break.
And going down will be much easier than going up.
As those thoughts crossed his mind, the soldier’s face was filled with joy.
Haha…!”
The soldier smiles and climbs to the top.
In order to newly tighten the rope where it goes down from the other side,
Srrrr
Click.
The soldier unties the rope attached to his body.
There is an indescribable sense of relief in his expression.
That moment,
Whoa!
According to common sense, things that shouldn’t move move.
The long, thick branches move,
Took.
“Uh, uh…?”
Push the soldier’s body back.
There was nothing to support the soldier’s body there,
Woo woo woo woo.
“Aaaaagh!”
It was inevitable that the soldier would fall straight to the ground.
Goo Woong.
Iron puck.
Kudeudeuk.
A soft yet dull sound echoes.
It is followed by the sound of something solid breaking, followed by the sound of a leather pouch bursting filled with some kind of liquid.
Silence prevails.
“Kukkeukkeukkeukkeukkeukkeukkeukkeukkeukkeukkeukkeukkeukkeukkeukkeukkeukkeukkeukkeukkeukkeukkeukkeukkeukkeukkeukkeukkeukkeukkeukkeukkeukkeukkeukkeukkeukkeukkeukkeukkeukkeukkeukkeukkeukkeukkeukkeukkeukkuk…”
Purrrr.
Dump.
Except for the soldier groaning in pain and letting out his last breath, no sound could be heard in the area.
The perfect silence that dominated the hall for a moment,
“What, what, what, what?!”
“Report the situation!”
“An enemy?!”
“Observer!”
It disappears in an instant, as if such a thing never existed in the first place.
It gets bustling
“Who was up there?”
“Oh, there was no one there!”
“So you’re saying that friend was foolishly careless and died by accident?”
“No!”
“If it’s neither this nor that, what the hell”
When executives are busy trying to figure out the cause,
Shrrrr
“Uh…? What is this…?”
Sharp wooden blades start sprouting from all over the cliff.
The blade moves as if it were alive,
Awesome!
“Uh, uh uh?!”
A soldier cuts off the ropes supporting his body.
The greased rope was so tough that it was not completely cut with one stroke.
However, it did not act as a special obstacle to the blade achieving its original purpose.
Spoon, spoon, spoon!
Square, saga, each!
This is because there was no restriction that it could only be swung once.
It didn’t happen just once, nor did it happen in just one place.
Ti-Tik, Ti-Tik!
Awesome profit!
With an ominous sound, the rope’s waist gradually narrowed.
It was too gruesome and ruthless to dismiss it as Rope’s successful weight loss.
“Ughhhhh! Stop it, stop it!”
“Oh, no!”
“Heeheeeee…!”
The soldiers clamor.
But most of them couldn’t even dare to run away.
It was enough for those who were in a lower place to just jump down.
However, quite a few soldiers were hanging in the middle of a cliff well over 50m high.
They were really stuck.
Confusion mounts.
Hearing their screams,
“What?! What’s going on, again?!”
“Situation! Report the situation, bastards!”
The officers below are shouting.
“Go, suddenly a blade has grown and is cutting the rope!”
“If we continue like this, everyone will fall!”
The soldiers clinging to the cliff trembled and explained the situation with Jung-gu Heating.
Chaotic and disorganized explanations followed, but the executives immediately grasped the situation.
Regal’s enlisted men were competent, but among them the officers were especially competent.
“Hold the bolt or protrusion with your hand!”
“Those who think they can do it should jump down moderately! Or crawl down!”
“Those who don’t want to come down, hold on until the bottom is ready to accept them!”
Although it was only an ad hoc expedient, the officers immediately and clearly presented a survival strategy for the soldiers.
After listening to the instructions of the officers,
Tup, Tup Tup!
Whoops!
Soldiers cling to wooden cliffs.
There were soldiers who carefully came down from the cliff, while others were trembling without even looking at the bottom.
Still, because the instructions were firm and clear, the soldiers were able to relieve their anxiety a little.
The moment the soldiers regained their stability,
Shush shush shush shush!
A sharp thorn suddenly sprouted from the cliff,
Fufufufufufufufu!
Puchuiii profit!
“Keah, keuhuh uh uh uh…!”
“Quaaaaagh!”
“Ah, ah, ah…”
Instantly penetrates soldiers’ bodies.
Because of the large number of thorns that it is difficult to count them all,
Rumble.
Tick, drop, drop.
“Turn it off…”
“Oh, it hurts, it hurts…”
Instead of falling to the ground, the soldiers were dangling in the air, pouring out only red bodily fluids.
The cliff seemed to have become an insect specimen exhibition hall.
The only difference was that the bug hadn’t died yet, but it was clear that it would look much the same in the eyes of the person who created the scene.
“Damn it…!”
“Crazies…!”
The officers and soldiers below were stunned with their mouths wide open as they gazed at the cliff.
Since only some of the nimble soldiers were mobilized to jump over the cliff, the loss of troops was not so great when compared to the total number of troops.
But Sudan’s bizarreness and visual brutality made soldiers and officers shudder.
At that time,
“Dae, battalion commander… Mm, how would you like to retreat?”
Purrrr.
A soldier trembled and suggested a retreat to the battalion commander.
Hearing that,
Slap!
“What?!”
The battalion commander glares at his soldier.
His eyes were full of contempt.
“You dare, Your Majesty,”
“Dae, battalion commander…”
The soldier cuts off the battalion commander.
If the operation was in progress as it is now, there would be nothing strange about it being rude, even if he was summarily punished as a minor offense.
“What?! If you’re going to talk nonsense, I’ll tear you to death right now!”
Therefore, the battalion commander’s anger was justified.
However, the soldier made no excuses.
Instead,
Purrrr.
“I-over there…”
His trembling hand pointed to the area where the cliff and the floor met.
“This place is strange, battalion commander…!”
Hearing the soldier’s words,
Slap!
The battalion commander followed the soldier’s fingertips and quickly turned his head.
He strained his eyes and glared at the direction the soldier pointed.
Yet,
“Damn it…!”
Cadde deuk!
The battalion commander realized why the soldier had suggested retreating to him.
“Retreat! Retreat! There is no need to rescue survivors! Retreat immediately!”
When the battalion commander ordered a retreat,
“Retreat now!”
“Back off, back up!”
Beep beep!
Other officers blow their whistles or repeat his orders.
The exact reason was not known, but the field commander’s judgment was respected as the highest priority.
Tatatatatatat!
Chuck, Chuck, Chuck, Chuck!
Soldiers retreat in an orderly manner.
Their decisions were bold and their movements agile.
But,
Right-handed, right-handed.
Deed Dede Deuk.
“Ahhh…”
The speed at which disaster struck was a little faster.
The trees forming the outermost edge of the cliff all started leaning toward the Regal enlisted men.
Hey hey hey hey hey.
Shaaaaa
Patter.
Rumble.
Beautiful giant trees reaching up to 50 meters fall down while making a scrum.
Bodies and blood pouring out.
Insect specimens decorating the cliff are destroyed.
“Oh, no…!”
Dump.
Hey hey hey
The soldiers who judged that it was already too late sit down and urinate.
Looking at death slowly approaching, she bursts into tears in fear.
“Run away!”
“Run, run, boys!”
“Aaaaa…!”
Tat tat tat!
The soldiers who have even the slightest chance of survival run with all their might to the other side of the cliff.
But,
Awesome profit!
Woo support!
“Uh, uhhhhh…!”
Trees that fell slowly
“Gyaaa,”
Whoa ae ae ae ae!
Aaaaa!
Fuck!
It pounces on them so quickly that it reminds you of the closing of a mousetrap.
Death came really suddenly.
As if it had been intended from the beginning, the tree cliff full of thorns swallowed most of the soldiers and officers waiting below.
Woo woo woo woo!
“Uh, ugh…”
“Ahhh…”
Dust mixed with the smell of blood covers the area.
It was full of lukewarmness and dampness, and it felt bad and disgusting.
It was so far away from the wind that one could smell in early winter, and I felt a very serious sense of alienation.
Disgusting
“Everyone said they died…?”
“Damn it, this makes sense, makes sense, uwueeeeek…!”
Charrrr.
The few surviving soldiers look around.
The soldiers who had been lined up for several kilometers to the left and right all died.
In the face of overwhelming violence, the soldiers were at a loss for words.
– 2 –
“Damn… Where the hell do I have to walk?”
“I don’t know… I’m going to die of annoyance too, so don’t talk to me…”
Turd, turd, turd.
Soldiers walk muttering.
To the west, to the west.
With the cliff on the right side, walk at a steady pace.
As if proving the fact that walking is his job, the soldier maintained an infinitely lax attitude, but his fives and heats were aligned like a knife.
“Quiet.”
When the platoon commander warned,
“Huh…!”
“Fuck, I told you to shut up…”
The soldiers who had been chatting lowered their voices and blamed each other.
However, the platoon commander doesn’t brush up on the soldiers any more.
No matter where you go, what you see is just the same scenery, so everyone tolerates looseness to some extent.
Of course, if the situation suddenly changes or an enemy appears, the soldiers will throw away the laxity they were wearing.
Because they were skilled soldiers.
While they were walking,
Piririk.
“Hmm?”
A notification sound sounds from the communication magic tool possessed by the communication soldier.
Swoop.
The soldier checks the source.
It was a communication from the headquarters.
Since it was not a regular reporting time, a question lingers on the signal soldier’s face.
Pirik.
The communicator receives it.
“This is the 2nd Reconnaissance Battalion. More than on the march,”
And while reporting the situation as usual,
– Get off the cliff!
“Yeah…? Now, didn’t you hear that?”
– Right now, get away from the cliff!
Someone’s urgent but one-sided call echoes through the voice output device of the communication magic tool.
Unable to understand why, the communications soldier lost his senses.
At that time,
Jerk, jerk, jerk.
Chin!
Take away the self-communication magic tool from the communication soldier who seems to be the commander of the reconnaissance unit.
“Report carefully what’s going on!”
– Damn! If you don’t want to see,
While someone was urgently shouting through the communication magic tool in the main unit,
… Woo woo woo woo woo… !
… R r r r r r r… !
“What, what?!”
Behind them, from where they started, a subtle earth rumble is transmitted along with a sound presumed to be an explosion.
It only sounded small because the distance between the two points was considerable, but it was by no means something that happened on a small scale, considering that it was heard to where they were.
“…Is the order you gave just now related to the sound you heard earlier?”
– Yes! Cliff is alive! The cliffs are alive and attack us! So, if you want to live, get off the cliff unconditionally!
“The cliff…Is alive…?”
The commander muttered involuntarily.
He collects the information that has been fragmented due to the urgency of the messenger and organizes it in his head.
Soon,
“… Damn it…!”
Hard.
His thoughts lead to terrifying conclusions.
“All forces! Left and right!”
When the commander gave the order,
Chuck, Chuck!
The soldiers immediately turn their backs on the cliff.
You don’t even need to know English.
However, due to the urgency in the commander’s voice, all laxity was immediately discarded and tension was raised.
“Go forward and run with all your might! Execute!”
“Aaaaagh!”
Ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-tat!
Doo doo doo doo doo!
Soldiers start running.
Even in the middle of the urgency, I was running in line with Oh.
Indeed, it could not be anything other than the true appearance of an elite soldier.
But,
Shrrrr, shruck.
Tuck, tuck tuck!
Kwadadang!
“100 million…!”
“Ah, ah…!”
As the soldiers stumbled on the roots of the trees that suddenly sprouted and fell, one after another,
Kwajik!
Kwajijik!
Crunchy!
“Gaaaaagh!”
“Oops!”
“Mmm, stop, cuckoo!”
Such orderly refinement came back as poison.
Because they ran too close to each other, it was inevitable for the soldiers following them to trample the fallen soldiers.
Puck!
Kududeuk!
Knock, knock!
“Aaaaagh!”
“Buy, live,”
The first soldiers to fall are trampled by the boots of the soldiers following them.
Torn apart
Burst out
Broken, broken
And soon,
Water!
Slip, kudang!
Thump!
“Ah, ah!”
“That, stop…!”
The soldiers who followed also fell together.
Get tangled up
The soldiers who were sprinting all the way stopped for a moment.
Gradually stop
“What, what is this?”
“Go quickly!”
“Assholes, stand up!”
Soldiers rush those who have fallen.
Some roll their eyes and look for the commander.
But the commander also fell and seemed to be entangled with his men, and he was nowhere to be found.
Confusion reaches its peak.
That moment,
Whee-ae-ae-ae-ae-aek!
Fufufufufufu!
Kakacak!
“Ooooof…!”
“Kaaaaagh!”
“Krukreuk…”
A sharp tree trunk stretched out from the cliff and pierced the soldiers.
It burrows into the bodies of soldiers in an oblique line from above, and embeds itself deep into the surface.
“Ughhhhh!”
“Pee, pi hat!”
Kwajik, Kwajik!
Wooded Deuk!
The surviving soldiers trample on those who have fallen, and squeeze through the cracks in the tree trunks.
In order to live, to survive, forward, forward, staggeringly run.
And finally you realize it for sure.
Why was the communication from the main unit so urgent?
