49 Episode 49 - Flame-spewing Crocodile, Part I (2/2)
However, he failed to keep the promise exactly. He earned ten days, three more than a week. Of course, it was enough to get a supply ammunition and weapons.
”Fire!”
”Fire!”
It was even enough to recruit soldiers to deal with such secured firepower.
Boom, boom, boom!
The recruited soldiers' memories of more than two years in active service were clearly drawn.
Ten days was enough time to choose the stage and decorate it with all the preparations made.
Of course, the Mac Guild did not refuse to declare war on the Flame-spewing Crocodile.
As soon as the Crocodile spewed flames toward the Black Snake's skull, the artillery units of Mac Guild, who were waiting, immediately began firing.
The launch of the artillery came down on the pack of Wolf-crocodiles.
Kyaah!
The tough fur of the Wolf-crocodile was worthless in front of artillery fire. The Wolf-crocodile began to blow apart.
It was an attack that a group of Wolf-crocodile had never encountered.
It was also the first counterattack that the artillery, who were constantly loading shells into a 60-millimeter mortar, had experienced so far.
”Fire!”
”Fire!”
That's why the artillery, who were shouting to answer the command with the order, cried out, pressing down against the unceasing roar of shells bursting out.
”You, motherfucking monsters, all go to hell!”
It was the soldiers who would use the weapons that the Mac Guild had secured while gathering weapons and ammunition for rifles, machine guns, and mortars.
At first, there was some concern.
There were very few people who went to war because they liked it. It was very dangerous for the public, who were not Awakeners, to fight against the monsters.
They thought that there would be applicants, but they didn't think there would be too many. But that concern disappeared as soon as the recruitment began. Applicants poured in.
Most of the male survivors had undergone the military draft; it was the obligation of all Korean men. However, it wasn't a reason to apply for the position.
It was to vent their anger about not even being able to make a frantic last-ditch effort, rather than counterattacking after the monsters appeared.
”Wow!”
'Right, I didn't miss the target.'
'I'll kill one more for sure!'
So they were serious. No one tried to be lazy or skip out on training somehow, as they had done in the military service.
Regardless of age, the volunteers from the artillery tried to recall the memories and the knowledge they had learned in the military service as much as possible.
They showed their will to survive!
Kyaaa!
And it was the same with the Wolf-crocodiles exposed to repeated bombardment. The Wolf-crocodiles came here to survive, too. They did not intend to be vulnerable.
Above all, the leader of the Wolf-crocodiles, the Flame-spewing Crocodile, was still standing on both legs during this bombardment.
Goohh!
The Flame-spewing Crocodile's cry exploded. The cry changed the whole situation in a flash.
Kyaaa!
As soon as the Wolf-crocodiles heard the cry, they started to run again, ignoring the shells.
At the same time, the endless bombardment coming down stopped.
”Uh-oh…”
Fear.
The fear of the Flame-spewing Crocodile was an irresistible attack to the public, and the behavior of those who constantly put the shell into the cannon shells stopped like a broken doll and began to distort.
Some of them flopped down and suffered from a spasm, bubbling at the mouth while lying on the ground.
”Retreat!”
”Retreat!”
At that moment, the Awakeners began to load the artillery into the prepared vehicle, and they were about to leave the area with them, after being exposed to the fear and unable to do anything.
But not everyone was ready to run away.
Rather, at this moment there were those who chewed and swallowed the pill that made them resistant to the fear, and waited for the Wolf-crocodiles to come. They were in the most dangerous place to buy time for their colleagues to escape, holding the claymore triggers in their hands.
Even though they had the pill that would increase their resistance to the fear, their bodies were trembling in fear of the Flame-spewing Crocodile, but nonetheless, they did not take their eyes off the Wolf-crocodiles.
They waited, and pushed the triggers. ”Explode!”
Bam bam bam!
The rain of iron beads began to pour into the front of the Wolf-crocodiles that were rushing wildly down the road without seeing anything.
Kieeeeh!
Their power was frightening.
The Wolf-crocodiles running in front quickly became a pile of dead bodies.
Even eerier was that the Wolf-crocodiles did not stop rushing forward after pushing the bodies of their fellows out of the way.
'Fucking monsters!'
'We've been ready and then attacked, now we're going to be chased!'
The earlier gunfire was no longer heard anywhere. The situation had turned.
The Flame-spewing Crocodile was now walking down the path created by the wild rush of the Wolf-crocodiles. It was getting ready to smash, chomp, and burn with flames the enemies that were trying to run away.
Shiyik!
A Sword made a long cut on the hide of the Flame-spewing Crocodile that was not be hurt by the artillery. It prevented the rush of the Flame-spewing Crocodile.
The cut was so painful that its yellow eyes flashed, and it began to look around.
Kaaah!
But its eyes, which scanned everywhere, could not find the culprit that hurt its body.
It was not possible to find him, since Kim Tae-hoon, the main culprit it was looking for, was floating above its head...
'It's been a long time since I shot this against a living thing. Probably four years?'
...while holding a Panzerfaust 3, an anti-tank rocket launcher, on his shoulder!
