Chapter 682 - End of Monster Legion 2 (2/2)

As the Symphonia troops expected, the monster legion divided and head toward the basin. Aslan, who was leading the engineer troops into the fan-shaped forest, installed traps and climbed onto a nearby hill and looked to the west.

At that time, a scout on a horse ran in a hurry.

“The troops who withdrew are coming back!”

Du Du Du Du!

Shortly thereafter, as the scouts said, allied troops from three directions came toward the range and dust rose.

Knights on horses and infantry troops arrived ahead, followed by the artillery soldiers and old Gigants came next.

The last unit was the Gigants used by Rogers.

The Gigants didn’t seem to be in a good shape because they had to stay back till the end and block those ugly monsters.

There were Gigants shields and armors that got shredded off.

“That looks really bad.”

Aslan clicked his tongue.

Although he knew how the war would go, he couldn’t imagine how horrible the battle was for their own Gigant troops to be like it.

‘It is a good thing though. Even though we are tired, the damage isn’t as great as I thought.’

There was no way that there wouldn’t be any sacrifices to stopping the monsters.

However, the damage was less than expected, Aslan sighed in relief.

After joining in the forest, the Symphonia troops escaped to the plains of Burya and make their camp.

After taking a break from maintaining my line, they had to go in attack the monsters once they fell into the trap.

“The enemy is coming!”

Shortly after the allies arrived, the monster legion appeared.

Those monsters, who were chasing behind the Symphonia troops, stopped for a moment when they saw camps being built.

It seemed like the monster legion was waiting for the monsters of the other divided units to come in.

Maybe their plan to charge at once and push ahead to Verange Castle.

“Phew! I have heard that the legion was divided into different units are being killed, but there are still quite a lot to be taken down.”

When the war mage next to him said it, Aslan shrugged his shoulders.

“If our monster who was dispatched in the other places join those ones, they will be more than us.”

When he said that, dust rose in from all the directions toward their spot, and another group of monsters appeared.

It would have been the other unit that attacked a second spot.

Once they all gathered, Aslan looked at the war mage and said, “Now! Start it now!”

At Aslan’s request, the war mage began to chant a spell.

Over the past few days, Aslan and the other engineers buried hundreds of sulfur mixture, gunpowder, and numerous magic circles on the fan-shaped forest.

After digging the ground deep enough to make sure that the monsters didn’t smell anything suspicious, they buried the explosives and then placed scented grass on the ground.

Wizards built explosive magic circles near the flammable substances.

It was a kind of detonator.

“Fire Explosion!”

When the War Mage was done chanting the spell, he shouted.

However, instead of an explosion, nothing happened.

The War Mage became flustered and chanted the spell again.

The magic circle didn’t explode. He tried once more, then again and again.

“Kuek! The magic circle isn’t responding!”

“Aren’t we done then?!”

At the words of the War Mage, Aslan panicked.

The entire heart of the Storm break operation was the chemical explosion.

But the explosions didn’t react from the very beginning.

“Damn it, why isn’t anything happening? The magic circle was placed correctly. Is there any problem with the magic stones? Or is…”

The flustered War Mage was mumbling to himself.

On the other hand, the monster legion, which had managed to meet up with the others, was preparing to charge toward the plains.

‘If things go this way, the allies on the plains would take in a lot of damage. Not just that, even the people who are taking shelter in the Verange castle are also in danger!’

Even if the monsters pass through the forest, the Symphonia troops would eventually be able to take down the monster legion.

However, the damage to the army and people would increase.

Aslan got up from his position after recalling the faces of the villagers, who helped him in the past few years, and those who were currently taking shelter in the Verange castle.

Immediately getting on a horse, he shouted to the men that set up the trap and were managing the supplies.

“You, bring that box to me!”

“Eh? What are you doing….?”

Aslan took over the box from the soldier’s hands as if he snatched it, and he began to sprint into the forest.

Du Du Du Du Du!

The box that Aslan was currently holding onto contained high-grade magic stones with an explosive magic circle engraved on them.
