Chapter 398 – 398. Flowers Bloom Even at Graves (6)

– One –

“Long live His Majesty Whisky!”

A soldier screams so loud that his throat bursts.

“Hooray eeeeeg

“Long live aaaaagh!”

Following him, countless soldiers hurrahed in unison.

Their eyes were bloodshot so red that it was hard to find the whites of them, and their faces were flushed red like a block of iron being quenched.

Their skin exposed outside the body was a red color.

It was very bizarre to see the blood vessels bulging and burning red.

But once they knew what was ahead, there was nothing to be surprised about.

They stand in four columns, spaced rather widely apart,

Tatatatat!
Doo doo doo doo!

“Kyaaaaagh!”

“Khehehehe!”

He screamed and started running towards the cliff.

Whoops, whoops!

In their hands, crystals that flashed red light were held one by one.

The red light that shimmers occasionally,

Jiying, Jiying!
Gee ying!

Even the irregularly emitted vibrations, all of which added to the ominous feeling.

But the soldiers didn’t care.

It didn’t matter to them that they were holding an ominous decision, or that they were rushing toward the cliff without slowing down, or that their chances of surviving would converge to zero after this operation was over.

What is important to them is

“For the glory of the Whiskai family!”

“For the sake of it!”

“Quaaaaagh!”

It was only the fact that their master had ordered them to die for his glory.

Of course, for that purpose, Regal somewhat adjusted the intensity of brainwashing to paralyze their fear and rejection.

It paralyzed their judgment somewhat, but that was none of Regal’s business.

After all, they were nothing more than one-off consumables, so it was only necessary to carry out the order given this time perfectly.

Tat tat tat!
Wow!

“Haaaaa!”

The first soldier who jumped towards the cliff appeared.

Soldiers have slightly better physical abilities than ordinary people,

Puck!

“Kuhup…!”

At best, it was only hanging on to a place that would be 50 cm from the floor.

However, considering his role, just that was enough.

Swoop.

After the soldier pushed the crystal between the cliff and his ship,

“Aaaaagh!”

Kwajijik!
Wow Jangchang!

While screaming, grab it with the power of your hands and explode it.

That moment,

Aaaaang!
Fuhuaaaaagh!
Smack!

When the crystal, that is, the portable bomb magic tool, explodes, the soldier’s body is torn to pieces.

Soars in all directions

The place where the soldier had been was left with only dark red stains, scorched marks, and light vapor from bodily fluids evaporated from the high heat.

Because the soldier covered it with his body, the explosion caused by the magic tool didn’t spread that much outwardly.

But,

Shit.
Blah blah

It was enough to crack a part of the cliff.

Starting with it,

“Aaaaagh!”

“Keeeeeg

Kwaaaaa!
Whoops, whoops!

Soldiers cling to the cliff one by one and self-destruct.

Explosions begin to occur in succession.

Blah blah blah blah!
Kwajijik.

The crack running down the cliff gets bigger little by little.

Kwakwang, Kwaaaaang!
Pervert!

“Hehe!”

“Kreak…”

There were occasional mistakes.

This is because the crystals held by the soldiers were too unstable and did not have stable durability.

Whii profit!
Wow Jangchang!

“Uh, uh, uh…?”

Some of the running soldiers dropped it and broke it.

Aaaaang!
👁 Profit!
Puck!
Cheeky!

“Ouch…!”

As a soldier hit by shrapnel from nearby fell due to an erroneous bombing,

Tuk, Degururr.

“Uh, uh uh…! My, mine! Lung, given by His Majesty, ah, ah…”

I missed it and rolled on the floor.

The bomb magic tools they missed,

Tat tat tat!
Kwajijik!

Stepped on by the boots of the soldier following,

“Oh no,”

Aaaaang!
Fuhuaaaaagh!
Chow ah, chow ah!

He even took two lives at once.

However, the overall damage is not that great.

This is because Luxardo opened a wide gap between the soldiers because he predicted that their judgment would be extremely deteriorated if the intensity of the brainwashing was adjusted.

One mistake can kill at most three or four people,

Aaaaa!
Wow!
Kwaaaaang!

The rest of the soldiers dutifully ended their lives on the cliff.

Let the cracks in the cliff begin to grow noticeably due to the self-destruction of the soldiers,

Shureuk, shureureuk!
Shaaaaa!

Tentacle-like tree trunks began to sprout countless times near the cracks.

It was a bizarre sight.

But,

“His Majesty Whiskai, hooray!”

“AA AA AA!”

Tatatatatatat!
Doo doo doo!

The soldiers were not intimidated at all.

As if mocking the fearless soldiers,

Whoa!
Shrrrr!

Tree trunks begin to reach towards the soldiers.

Some stems sprouted long,

Whiik, wheeeeeik!
Barbababak!

“Quaaaaagh!”

“Billion, uh uh!”

It was swung horizontally like a whip.

They hit soldiers at about the height of their heads or shoulders.

And other stems,

Aaaaagh!
Fufufufufufu!

“Cheer, growl…!”

“Ugh, uh uh…”

It fired sharp tips horizontally, at the level of the soldiers’ abdomens and chests.

They pierced through the middle of the soldiers’ bodies without hesitation.

Tok, tok.
Degururr.

The bomb magic tools they missed are scattered on the floor.

Zujjwu, tsurureut.
Blah blah
Rumble.

With blood-guzzling soldiers suspended in the middle, the sharp tips of branches move in search of new victims.

However, because the soldiers were threaded like skewers, the movement of the tree trunk gradually became dull.

Slow down.

The eyes of the soldiers who followed shone.

Shasha shak!

The soldiers bowed deeply,

Tat tat tat!
Break-break-break-break-break-break!

It moves forward by crawling on all fours or completely crawling.

As a result, the huge cane that was swung horizontally lost its function.

Because the soldiers who had their stomachs and chests pierced were hanging limp, relying on the skewers that pierced their bodies,

“Grrruk…”

“Huh, huh…”

Whoa!
Whoa!

A huge cane only grazed over their heads.

The soldiers who followed lowered their bodies all at once to avoid the skewers and cane, so there was no reason to fall victim to them.

Break-break-break-break-break-break!
Tat tat tat!
Tup, Tup, Tup!

The soldiers who lowered their bodies advanced, grabbing as many bomb magic tools as they could.

If, by any chance, your hands are not enough because you have carried too much, you will save it for those who follow.

They advanced with several bomb magic tools,

Hee hee…! Long live His Majesty the Whiskai Emperor!”

Wow!
Visor!
Aaaaa!
Fuhuaaaaagh!

It started to self-destruct at the bottom of the cliff.

Because multiple bombs exploded overlapping,

Woozijik, Woozijik!
Kurrrr!

Finally the cliff begins to twitch.

The soldiers’ eyes begin to glow.

Although they were facing death, they were intoxicated with a deep sense of accomplishment and satisfaction, and their morale also began to rise.

Aaaaa!
Aaaaang!

It crawls like a dog and gnaws off cliffs.

It immediately crushes and bursts.

It was a death no different from that of an insect, but the watching commander would surely be satisfied.

It was clear that Regal was also feeling content.

But they were both relieved and satisfied.

Shureuk, shureuk!
Tup, Tup, Tup!

“100 million?!”

“Uh, uhh?!”

Plant roots sprouted from the ground and began snatching soldiers limbs.

Soldiers struggle.

The roots that succeeded in entangling the bodies of the soldiers were

Shrrrr!
Whirly Rick!

“Aaaaa!”

“Lung, Your Majesty…!”

The soldiers began to wrap themselves around them.

As if reminiscent of an insect cocoon, they meticulously surrounded the soldiers.

When the soldiers were bound so tightly that they could not even move,

Whoops!
Deed Dede Deuk!

“Keeeee

“Gyaaaaagh!”

They began to squeeze the soldiers’ bodies.

Push!
Push shush shoot!
Bubjijik!
Wow!

“Geez, that, that…!”

Because their lungs were constricted, the soldiers couldn’t scream properly.

Parrrr!
Burrrr!

The soldiers’ limbs protrude out of their cocoons, frantically convulsing as if representing their pain.

The soldiers whose faces were restrained had no choice but to express their pain by shaking their limbs.

“Geureuk, Geueueek!”

Charleuk!
Iron puck.

Someone regurgitates pieces of bloody intestines.

The roots seemed to be digging into the body.

However, the suffering of all of them did not last long.

Wajik, Kwajik Jik!

“Krukreuk…”

“Oh, no…”

The bomb magic tools they cherished in their arms begin to break,

Kwaaaaa!
Woooooh!
Fuhuaaaaa!

It was because they sent them to the side of the goddess in an instant.

They tried desperately to protect the bomb magic tool that their owner personally gave them, but it was in vain in front of physical violence that crossed the threshold.

“Kiyaaaaa!”

“Khehehehehe!”

Surviving soldiers scream.

But it didn’t contain any frustration.

As if their reason had faded a little more,

Tatatatatatat!
Wow!

“Whoaaaaagh!”

“Uuuuu!”

Even after seeing the gruesome deaths of his comrades, he rushes forward without the slightest hint of shrinkage.

Whiik, to blame!
Tat tat!
Whoa!

“Hyaaaaagh!”

A soldier gallops between plant stems.

Kwajik!

Trample the roots,

Whiririk!
Tup!

Avoid flying branches,

“Hooray!”

Kwajik!
Aaaaagh!
Fuhuaaaaagh!

Gear reaches the cliff and succeeds in self-destructing.

Did his great work inspire his colleagues?

“Hey hey hey hey hey hey hey!”

Whoops!
Tup, Tup, Tup!
Whiririk!

In the same way, the soldiers began to gallop as if they were running hurdles.

Although the soldiers had only a strand of reason left, they were fully displaying their intellect to the extent that they would use any means and methods to achieve their goals.

If we find and evaluate the positive aspects of Regal’s behavior, such delicacy is the great thing about Regal’s brainwashing technique, and it could be said that he has achieved it.

“Kiyaaaaagh!”

“Khehehehe!”

Kwaaang, kwaaaaang!
Puff puff puff!

The binge drinking stopped for a very short time, but then it started to go on without stopping again.

Which,

Wajik, wajik!
Kude deuk, Kude deudeuk!
Whoops!

A part of the Gireco cliff collapsed.

Let’s witness it

“…!”

Haha!”

“Kyahahahaha!”

The soldiers’ eyes begin to glow.

But,

Shrew, shruck.

“Uh…?”

“Uh uh…”

New tree trunks began to grow on the left and right sides of the crack.

Squeak, squeak.

It extends towards each other.

Start to engage

Sparks fly in the eyes of the soldiers.

“Oh, no, no!”

“Run, run, run!”

Ta-ta-ta-ta-tat!
Doo doo doo!

Everyone starts galloping toward it at once.

The soldiers were desperate.

But the tree trunk was also desperate.

Sharp tree trunks sprouting from the cracks,

Shureuk, shureuk!
Weeeee!
Fufufufufu!

“Kreukreuk…!”

“Cheer, growl…!”

Slammed down at the soldiers.

As if to prove that the soldiers are doing their best to keep them in check,

Shrrrr
Shaaaaa!
Wedges, Wedges!
Fufufufufufufufu!

“Damn it!”

“Aaaaa!”

Numerous thorns pierced the area, reminiscent of rain.

However, blocking the soldiers’ path was the main purpose, and taking the soldiers’ lives seemed secondary.

Whether it penetrates the ground or a person, it is because the thorns do not seem to care much about the success of the attack.

In that mess,

“Ah, ah, ah…”

Parrrr!

A soldier convulses while being pierced through the abdomen by a thorn.

Blood is constantly leaking from the mouth and stomach.

At that time,

“Key, kihihihihi…”

As if he had thought of something good, he smiled bloody.

Swoop.

“Hee hee…”

He lowers his head and looks at his hand.

In his hand, a blood-soaked bomb magic tool was showing off an ominous presence.

Shaking.

Suppressing the spasms of his hands, he lifts them up to his shoulders.

After finding a suitable location,

Whoa!

Throw it towards the front.

The bomb magic tool flies vigorously,

Visor!

After hitting the most cracked place,

Wow Jangchang!

It shatters in an instant.

“Buhi-hee,”

Aaaaang!
Fuhuaaaaagh!

The soldier is caught in the blast and blows up.

The soldier couldn’t complete his laugh, but he was able to head to the side of the goddess with satisfaction.

It had served its purpose, and it had given new inspiration to his colleagues.

Following him,

“Oooh!”

“Waaaaagh!”

Poof, wheeeee
Chae chae chae chae chae!

The soldiers in the area threw bomb magic tools all at once toward the crack in the cliff.

The broken bomb magic tool,

Aaaaa!
Kwaji support!
Kwajik, Ududududuk!

“Whoaaaaagh!”

“Hooray!”

Not only did the cliffs begin to adequately hinder repairing the crack, but they succeeded in opening it even wider.

Could it be because the shock accumulated too much as the crack grew?

Shudder…
Tok, tok.

“Uh…?”

“Uh, uh…”

Branches that lost their strength and drooped began to appear.

Which,

Whoaaaaa!
Long live His Majesty the Whiskai Emperor!

All the soldiers in the area shuddered in great joy.

Through such a phenomenon, I was able to be sure that they were not dying meaninglessly.

And soon it

“Keeeee

“Whoaaaaagh!”

Chae Chae Chae Chae!
Wajik, wajangchang!
Chin, Tup!
Kkwaang, Kkwagwagwang!

It became the driving force that allowed the soldiers to self-destruct more enthusiastically.

These units of suicide bombers, consisting of only 1,000 men, were active all over the cliffs.

Dying, bursting, crushed, pierced.

However, they managed to neutralize part of the cliff.

The obsession created by the fanaticism and blindness toward Regal was terrifying.

Even if it is due to brainwashing.

Supportive position.
Pop!
Kwareung, kwareureung.

The crack running down the cliff turns into a collapse.

Regal did not use expensive automatic interceptor magic tools, nor did they use siege weapons with a limited number of bullets.

It didn’t drain the mana of high-end manpower like wizards and shamans, but it didn’t exhaust new weapons with high fire power either.

In Luxardo’s opinion, some of those ridiculous, living cliffs were neutralized by burning and consuming low-level manpower, which was cheap to hire and maintain, but burdensome to maintain for a long time.

It was terribly relentless, and no one can deny that it was a perfectly efficient decision.

– 2 –

In a place where suicide bombers are active, in a place that is somewhat biased towards the rear,

Gulp.
Purrrr.
Rattling.

“Uh, uh…”

“Oh my god…”

Shamans and wizards belonging to the Whisky family were trembling as they watched the scene.

Their bodies trembled, by no means, because of the cold of early winter.

Because they were beings who had to think thoroughly based on reason and logic, they could not be controlled through powerful brainwashing like the suicide bombers.

Therefore, Regal controlled and dominated wizards, shamans, and researchers based on surveillance and mutual containment rather than control based on strong brainwashing.

That’s why they couldn’t help but be frightened and tremble with terrible fear while watching the behavior of the suicide bombers.

When they shudder in fear,

“Fist.”

Chuck.

A person presumed to be a high-ranking combat agent draws their attention.

Wizards and shamans all gazed at him at once.

Controlling the upset stomach, they all calm themselves down to the best of their abilities.

It is because he was well aware that if he continued to show excessive incompetence, there would be only a future that would be discarded at some point.

“From now on, all of you will use the most basic techniques to attack the area where the soldiers are performing their noble mission. Do not forget that your mission is not to break through that cliff, but simply to leave a mark, and never overdo it. Don’t waste mana by overdoing powerful magic. Instead, use magic that spreads as much as possible and leaves traces in a wide area without overlapping each other’s bullets. Did you know?”

“Yes!”

Just by hearing the orders from their superiors, they understood their role exactly.

Also, some with agile brains were able to predict what kind of strategy would unfold in the future.

They could be sure of it.

It was because they were sure that such a reckless charge would never happen to them.

Based on that conviction,

“The 4121st platoon, move to the designated location.”

“Platoon 4322, move to the designated location.”

Chuck, Chuck, Chuck.

Towards the pre-allocated area, they could step out with power.

It was a selfish and cold-hearted judgment, but since they came under Regal, they had no choice.

Because it was the only means of survival.
