Future Knight [EN]: Chapter 135

He even named the Gigantes Cherry after the wyvern Kang Chan had killed. Urkantha seemed particularly fond of it.

“Krrr… Cherry, let’s soak in the blood of our enemies together! Kyaruk!”

“…….”

Kang Chan shook his head, watching Urkantha address the rather hideous Gigantes Cherry.

Soon, when all the warriors had gathered, Kang Chan signaled the start to everyone.

“Alright, let’s get going.”

“It’s time for revenge.”

“Kyaruk! Let’s do it!”

They teleported to their continent, which had become the world of their enemies.

There was only one thing they wanted as they departed.

To disrupt the enemy’s rear as the strongest small-scale party and to lay the groundwork for the Allied forces to land on the continent.

* * *

The first target Kang Chan set was, of course, the enemy’s Gigantes production factory.

It was clear that if they couldn’t stop their mass production, the Allied forces would never be able to reclaim the continent from the enemy.

This place, where Gigantes production facilities were endlessly located, was Elmajen, the capital of Materia, a city rich in underground resources.

Elmajen, once a central trading hub dividing the western and eastern parts of the continent, was considered the number one kingdom for its affluence and livability. But now, the entire city had been transformed into a Gigantes factory, and all the humans living in the city had been reduced to factory slaves.

They were forced to endure grueling labor day after day for the green elves.

As a slave carrying heavy iron ore under the hot summer sun wiped the sweat from his brow and straightened his back, a green elf’s whip inevitably flew.

“You bastard! Where do you think you’re slacking off!”

“Ugh… P, please save me. Please…….”

He had only been hit twice, but the flesh on his back was already torn and bleeding.

“Don’t make a fuss and get up! Do you want to be hit more?”

“…….”

The human, already weakened, didn’t seem to be able to get up, and the green elf, looking at him, raised the whip high again, as if enraged.

But that was the moment.

A black shadow fell over his head, and something huge ruthlessly trampled the green elf holding the whip.

Crunch!

The giant Gigantes, having completed its space 이동 [Space Transition/Warp], stepped on him and landed on the ground.

After that, as three more Gigantes landed, huge vibrations shook the factories incessantly, and glass shattered everywhere.

Kugugugugugung!

“E, enemy! Enemies have invaded!”

“Deploy the Gigantes units!”

Duke Sachsen, looking around the factory area that had become as noisy as a disturbed beehive, said with a sigh.

『Is this Elmajen, the capital of Materia? Goodness, how could that beautiful city turn into such an abomination…….』

Duke Sachsen, who had visited Elmajen several times in the past, doubted his eyes as he looked at Elmajen, which had been transformed into a giant factory.

He was worried about Bellarein.

He feared that it might have turned into something like this as well.

An countless number of Gigantes began to pour out from all directions to capture the four invading Gigantes.

The Gigantes looked crude at a glance.

However, the crude Gigantes were equipped with huge machine guns in both hands, as they had received the technology of Earth.

Clearly, that would overwhelm the Gigantes made in the past.

But the Gigantes here now were not the Gigantes of the past.

They were all the latest Gigantes remodeled by dragons and dwarves.

Dozens of enemy Gigantes aimed their machine guns at Kang Chan and his party and opened fire.

Kwagwagwagwagwang!

Dudududududung!

Although the rate of fire wasn’t great, dozens of them fired at once, and the spot where Kang Chan and his party were standing instantly became a beehive.

Also, the power was quite decent.

However, Red Rabbit, Agni, Cherry, and Elven Knight stood still, taking their attacks head-on.

This was because they were being protected by a shield magic cast by the mages on board through the Mana Furnace.

Silpilis was riding on Kang Chan’s Red Rabbit as before, Arteon was on Elradion’s Elven Knight, and the other two were riding with 7-circle elf mages.

As more than 50 enemy Gigantes fired non-stop, the surroundings were covered in smoke, making it impossible to distinguish the surroundings.

Then the enemies stopped firing and checked the condition of the invaders.

『Stop! Cease fire!』

They had no doubt that the invaders would have become scrap metal in front of this terrifying new weapon they had received from the aliens.

But when they stopped firing and the smoke slowly cleared, the green elves couldn’t help but be shocked.

Even though they had poured in hundreds of rounds, the enemies were standing there as they were.

Even though the surrounding buildings had been destroyed beyond recognition.

They couldn’t understand the sight.

『H, how did this happen?』

While the green elves’ Gigantes were panicking, Kang Chan and his party were also very satisfied and amazed at the performance of the remodeled Gigantes.

『This is useful?』

With this level of protection, it was almost equivalent to the energy shield mounted on the Zaid [Advanced alien warship].

To penetrate this shield, there was no other way but to use close-range combat using high-frequency blades or battleship-class cannon fire.

『Then is it our turn now?』

As the four Gigantes drew their swords and infused them with mana, aura blades blazed on the swords of the four Gigantes.

The green elves screamed as they watched the scene.

『S, Sword Masters!』

『Gasp! All Sword Masters!』

『Everyone, run away!』

Nearly 100 enemy Gigantes surrounded Kang Chan and his party, but they began to run away, chased by only four Gigantes.

The machine guns they had believed in didn’t work at all, and the enemies were all Sword Masters.

Unlike themselves, who were riding mass-produced Gigantes, they were the real deal.

Urkantha, who had jumped over the enemy’s head in the blink of an eye, crushed the green elf’s Gigantes like an angry beast, and quickly turned the nearby enemy Gigantes into scrap metal.

The Gigantes he was riding had a huge two-handed sword like the Storm Sword, but it was too large and crude to be called a sword.

Elradion’s Elven Knight moved as if flying over the factory roofs, attacking the enemies.

Despite his height of 8 meters and his enormous weight of nearly 60 tons.

Elradion accurately pierced the parts where the enemy Gigantes’ pilots would be with his saber, reducing the number of enemies faster than anyone else.

Sachsen, riding Agni, fought the most knightly, though not as flashy as the others, and Kang Chan destroyed the enemies with minimal movement, just like the master Elradion.

The fierce battle ended in a one-sided victory for Kang Chan and his party, and the factory was severely damaged and burned down by the rough steps of the fleeing enemies and the Gigantes chasing after them.

『Wow, we destroyed so many, but more are rushing in?』

An enormous number of Gigantes, incomparable to before, were rushing towards Kang Chan.

As Kang Chan had expected, stirring up the factory caused countless Gigantes stationed nearby to rush into the factory to defend it.

Seeing that, Kang Chan finally sent an attack signal to Zikyon.

『Zikyon, now’s the time! Blow them all away at once!』

As Kang Chan and his party soared into the sky with levitation magic, Zikyon and Rekrashion, who had transformed into dragons and were hiding with invisibility magic, revealed their huge forms.

『D, Dragons!』

The enemies’ faces were filled with despair.

Two ancient-class dragons, who were hard to see even one in a lifetime, had appeared.

The dragons breathed relentlessly at the enemies.

The enormous breath exhaled by the two ancient dragons was not only enough to destroy half of the city but also destroyed the mountains on the outskirts of the city.

It was truly an amazing power.

The earth-shattering power.

It was impossible to imagine how many people were caught up in their attacks.

But since they had not come to rescue them, Kang Chan and Duke Sachsen had no choice but to choose the path of sacrificing the few for the sake of the many, though sadly.

Zikyon and Rekrashion breathed non-stop, and Zikyon, being an ancient dragon than Rekrashion, not only breathed but also threw hellfire with both hands.

As if squeezing out even the emotions that had been built up in the meantime.

As a result, Elmajen, once the capital of a kingdom, was reduced to ashes in just a few hours, and enormous smoke and ash covered the sky of Elmajen.

Hovering in the sky, Kang Chan and the Sword Masters, watching the majesty of the two dragons, realized once again that dragons were dragons for a reason, and quickly moved to the next target.

The Zvezda members, who belatedly flew to the destroyed Elmajen, expressed their anger at the destruction.

And they were amazed.

At the firepower of the enemies who had turned the entire giant factory into a wasteland in such a short time.

It was a scene as if it had been carpet-bombed by a battleship.

The enemies were by no means easy opponents.

“Whew~ This is amazing?”

“Is this the time to be admiring it leisurely?”

When Hong Hak-mae nagged Lebedev again, Lebedev frowned and said.

“I got it, can you stop nagging?”

“This is clearly the work of the dragons and remnants who have been holding their breath. I need to contact the captain and issue an emergency alert to the entire continent. Mellisa, stay here and figure out the scale and attack patterns of the enemies and report them.”

“Okay.”

“They are the biggest threat to the reconstruction of Earth… We must wipe them out this time.”

The Zvezda members began to rack their brains to wipe out the enemies who had rebelled against them.

* * *

At the time when the Zvezda members and the high-ranking officers of the green elf army were on emergency alert and busy.

The Dragon Knight led by Kang Chan was striking the old Visman Empire fortresses built on the southeastern border of the Elf Forest.

It was a natural fortress built to stop the Ents [Tree-like beings] that the elves possessed in large quantities at the time when the elves and humans were not on good terms in the past.

Such an enemy fortress was an obstacle that would hinder the advance of the Continental Allied Forces in the future, so it had to be removed in advance.

But no matter how natural a fortress it was, it was just an easy prey for the four Sword Masters.

As the four Gigantes, who suddenly appeared in the air, instantly collapsed the watchtowers and smashed the barracks, green elves began to pour out of them like ants.

And they screamed as they looked at the enemy Gigantes who attacked them.

“Gasp! S, Sword Master?”

Their eyes were filled with despair as they discovered the enemy Gigantes spewing out terrifying aura blades.

Duke Sachsen’s Agni relentlessly spewed out rough flames over their heads.

It was like watching a flamethrower on Earth.

It was also a very large flamethrower.

“Kuaaaaak!”

“Aaaaaak!”

Countless green elves screamed and died in the pain of their flesh burning, and Duke Sachsen smiled with satisfaction as if he felt relieved.

And he further devastated the fortress more violently.

“Captain! The enemies have attacked again!”

When the green elves’ urgent request came in, Benzilla ordered his men without showing any signs of panic.

“Deploy the fighter squadron and prepare the main ship for departure!”

“Yes, Captain!”

As the Zvezda, which had been a symbol of Bellarein’s imperial city, slowly began to take off, hundreds of unmanned fighters began to pour out of the Zvezda’s hangar.

The fighters, which looked like a swarm of bees, roared and flew swiftly towards the enemies, and the giant Zaids followed behind them.

Benzilla, watching the departing fighter squadron, called Hong Hak-mae through communication.

“Hong Hak-mae.”

“Yes, Captain!”

“How did the experiment you did on the dark elves go before?”

“There are some side effects, but it has been a great success.”

“Can it be put into actual combat?”

“Yes!”

“Then let’s use them.”

“Yes, Captain!”

As soon as the captain’s permission was given, Hong Hak-mae called them in without hesitation.

The new weapons that fused Earth’s technology with the swordsmanship of this place.
