258 For the new life 4 (1/2)
”I'll be back.”
”Ugh, I'm not going. I'll get some sleep.”
Unlike Joonbum, Jinpok threw himself into a portable bed as he spoke. Doral laughed but also laid down on the bed next to it.
”Oh, you're out already?”
”Don't worry. You know me.”
”Y-yes… but still. Everyone is worried about you, Your Majesty.”
A soldier was worried about Joonbum.
”You should take a rest...”
Joonbum smiled. His body no longer needed rest. He was human, yet no longer human in some ways. Still, he was glad that he was being cared for.
”Yeah, I'll rest next time. But I need to get that settled first. I can't return like this. What do you think?”
”Yes, Your Majesty.”
The soldier bowed and ran back. Joonbum also quickly ran toward the fortress wall.
The sounds of explosives and monsters screaming filled the air. Soldiers shouted as the battle went on.
”Small monsters climbing up the wall! Prepare the chains!”
It was a tall wall, but small monsters easily climbed up the wall using their claws. Their speed was like a man running at full speed across flat ground.
”KEEEH!”
Countless monsters jumped a few feet with ease and were now climbing the wall. It was a terrifying sight. However, no soldiers seemed to be afraid.
”Chains are ready!”
”Show them what we've got!”
”Release the chains!”
”Release the chains!”
Chains that were thicker than a man's thigh dropped down from the wall. As it fell along the wall, the monsters screamed and fell as the chains struck them. Most died immediately from the impact, but there were a lot that weren't hurt.
”Ready the flame pots!”
”Ready!”
Large pots were brought up to the wall.
”Light the fires!”
As fires were set, a flag was raised to signal to throw them.
”KEEEK!”
The monsters screamed in rage. The sight of a flaming hell was unleashed down the wall. The smell of burning monster flesh filled the entire fortress.
”It's like hell broke loose,” Doral said as he arrived.
