Chapter 582 - Another Crisis 4 (1/2)

Bang! Kwang!

In Lamer city where the explosions weren’t going any easy, fires began to blaze around the city.

Gigants and the city soldiers were fighting in the heat of the flames.

Their enemies turned out to be oddly looking monsters. Monsters that were completely different from what they had seen on the continent.

The Gigants were all on the vacant grounds while soldiers were scattered throughout the city.

“More, quickly!”

“We need to get rid of them before they destroy the entire city!”

A group of soldiers was moving through the alley of the city.

Those free-spirited outfit of theirs weren’t regular army soldiers, but the mercenaries hired by the Kirillov chamber.

The mercenary troops of Kirillov were different from the other mercenary groups in the kingdom.

Most of them were the refugees of the Volga Republic or former knights or military leaders of the Volga royal family.

As a result, they weren’t just skillful but also organized and loyal to their tasks.

What did they have?

They had around 10 Gigants, which could take down a few estates.

In addition, they were able to mobilize around another 20 to 30 Gigants from the Gigant Arena in case of an emergency.

In addition to the mercenaries, there were also regular troops, so the city of Lamer had the strongest military force in the Symphonia Kingdom, excluding the Brandon city.

That was why when the Grenada Navy attacked them in the past, they were able to stand their ground instead of getting captured.

However, currently, Lamer city seemed to be in a bigger crisis.

Streets were noisy all over the city because of the sudden appearance of demons and monsters.

Kyahhh!

“Tch! Everyone! Stick to the wall!”

A monster with two wings was flying over the city.

The mercenaries decided to hide in the shadows of the buildings and decided to move once it passed them.

However, the monster, which they thought would fly away, had landed on the roof of the building above them and attacked them with its beak.

“Eukkk!”

An unlucky soldier got his torso pierced.

The soldiers around him were frightened at the sight of it but decided to fight rather than flee.

“Damn! Die, you monster!”

“Do not step back!”

While the soldiers with spears kept their distance from the monsters, the archers released their arrows.

Yet, even after getting stuck with arrows on his head and torso, the monster still moved.

“Everyone, out of the way!”

A mercenary stepped out with a large metal tube.

The metal tube was filled with gunpowder. It was something referred to as the hand cannon as it was held and used by hand.

The mercenary pushed the hand cannon into the monster’s mouth.

Shoot!

The moment the trigger on the cannon had been pressed, the eyes of the monster exploded.

As the monster dropped dead, the captain of the mercenary cut the monster to confirm its death.

“Dead! Keep moving ahead!”

There were many monsters they had to deal with.

They didn’t have the luxury to rest, so they began to walk ahead.

Pung! Kwang!

The residents, who escaped to the shelter in the underground of the city, looked at Pavel with confusion and fear on their faces.

Pavel, along with the commander of the 5th squad, Marquis Volant, was in the shelter, seeking measures to subdue the mysterious enemies, who were raging havoc in southern cities, including Lamer.

“Right now, the one attacking Lamer city isn’t a warlock but a Lich. And the ones carrying out the destruction in the other cities seem to be Death Knights.”

At Marquis Volant’s words, Pavel asked, “How could that be?”

“Well, according to the reports from the troops who were engaged in a battle with them, the enemies were able to move even after getting hit by attacks that no human could survive.”

Shortly after the founding of the Symphonia Kingdom, Luke had given titles to the Volga refugees who worked for him.
