262 For the new life 8 (1/2)
”WE CANNOT FALL BACK! WE MUST PROTECT LOWN PEAK!”
”We will protect this place! But you must retreat, Your Majesty!”
”STOP! I WILL FIGHT! I AM THE EMPEROR! I WILL FIGHT WITH ALL OF YOU, HERE!”
Joonbum shouted as the monster quickly approached. Its giant body slammed into the wall and an enormous tremor jolted everyone on the wall.
'The wall is going down!' Joonbum thought. The monster was wounded, but it did not stop. As its two giant arms began pounding on the wall, it began to crumble.
”It's falling!”
A part of the wall came crashing down like a sand castle, and the soldiers that were on top of it fell.
”AARGH! I don't want to die!”
People shouted in pain as middle to top-grade potions were used to save them from dying.
”I-I'm alive!”
”My arm is back!”
”It's a top-grade potion. However, you are discharged from service.”
”What! I can still serve, sir!”
A soldier shouted to the medic as he recovered immediately with the potion.
”NO! No potion can bring you back from fatal wounds anymore! All soldiers who cannot be healed by potions are automatically discharged!”
”B-but…!”
”You have served the empire once. You are honorably discharged.”
Similar incidents happened on all sides.
”It's moving again! RUN!”
”Fire the poison ballista!”
A steel stake over six feet long, coated with special poison on the tip, was fired at the monster.
”WUGGGG!”
The monster stopped smashing the wall as the stake penetrated it.
'It's powerful.' Joonbum frowned. This monster was stronger than any other he had faced.
'Retreat…'
He then turned to face the sky. But the others, such as Jinpok, Doral, and all the soldiers turned towards the unusual sound in the sky.
”W-what's that?”
”Monster?!”
”What is that?!”
Everyone was shocked as a never-before-seen thing approached from the sky, making weird sounds. Some even readied their bows to fire at it.
”A chopper?! They even brought a helicopter here?”
”Huh? Isn't that a Cobra?”
Joonbum mumbled in disbelief and Jinpok responded in amazement. Doral realized what it was and narrowed his eyes.
”That's a helicopter, right?”
He was familiar with that as he had studied a lot about Earth before.
The helicopter then fired two missiles at the monster.
”WHAT?!”
Joonbum and Jinpok were shocked. The power of the explosion and shockwave from the missiles were more than what they expected. The shockwave even destroyed part of the wall as blood began to stream down the monster's head.
”Whoa, it's amazing. It just destroyed the head!”
”So, is that a weapon from Earth? It's different than watching it in the movies.”
Jinpok nodded to Doral's question. Joonbum was also astonished.
”Yeah, it's my first time seeing a military helicopter.”
