Chapter 127 - Pirates from the Chinese Server (3) (2/2)
Sungwoo already knew that the pirates would try to escape from the island immediately after they had been ambushed.
The Chinese pirates planned to use Kyodong Island as an outpost for the conquest of the Korean peninsula, so they planned to build watchtowers along the coast for fortification.
In other words, they were no more than an advance party for the landing of their main force.
Because of that, they were planning to remain in Korea at the risk of their lives to help their main forces land safely, and they even made an “emergency escape manual.”
The guy said that after they escaped through Kanghwa Island, they planned to move inland to lay the groundwork for more pirates to land.
Sungwoo could not allow them to do so, of course.
The captain shouted, “Now, everyone get off the trucks! Ready for battle!”
“Get ready for battle!”
His voice was urgent. It was Korean in Sungwoo’s ears, but the tone of his voice was a mess. It seemed that the tone peculiar to the Chinese language was not corrected.
The captain shouted again, “Hide behind the car and prepare magic!”
“Archers, load fiery arrows!”
They hid behind the vehicles and watched Bone Drake carefully. However, it seemed that they didn’t dare strike first.
Sungwoo had the undead scattered all over the island on standby in the Empty Haven. Then, he summoned all of them to the bridge.
– Caution! The ‘Fellblade’ begins in the affected area!
– Caution! The ‘Death Response’ begins in the affected area!
Along with unidentified messages, black smoke rose and engulfed the whole bridge.
Pusheeeeeee―
“Uh! What the heck is that?”
“Man, my whole body is aching!”
“Stick with it! You can stand it without any problem! If you guys run around in confusion, they are going to attack us right away! Stay calm and watch out!”
The pirates suffered damage while breathing in the black smoke, but they endured it in the back of the trucks.
Certainly, they thought the smoke wasn’t fatal enough to kill them at once. They just thought it was kind of a skill that would shake their camp.
But they were mistaken because they never imagined that the undead would pop out from the black smoke.
“Argh! Be careful! They are attacking us from behind!”
Puck!
“Kueeeeeeek!”
Zombies in bone armor jumped out of the dark, stabbing their spears into the backs of the pirates.
They couldn’t respond because they were on alert for only Bone Drake in front.
“Where did they come from?”
“Everyone, stand up and fight! Fire behind you!”
“Damn it! They’re coming on your side, too!”
This time, they were ghouls. Violet-skinned monsters moved on the railings of the bridge then jumped onto the pirates’ sides.
The ghouls’ sharp nails cut through the pirates’ necks. With acrobatic movements, they freely crossed between the cars, railings, pylons, and cables to attack the pirates.
“Aghh! Help me!”
The pirates, who were focused on the surprise attacks from behind, fell helplessly when the ghouls attacked randomly.
“Damn it! They are also attacking from above!”
“Watch out everywhere!”
Monsters poured out from the surrounding dark where car headlights of the trucks on the narrow road were the only lights. They could not respond.
“Damn it…”
The captain looked at the corpses of his men piling up around him and turned his head.
His eyes again turned to Kyodong Island.
“Secure our retreat right now! It’s better for us to go back to Kyodong Island if we are surrounded here on the bridge.”
“It’s too late. All roads are already blocked!”
The entrance to Kyodong Island was blocked by other large skeletons: Ogre Skeleton and Troll Chief Skeleton.
There were four troll skeletons standing tall on both sides of the two monsters, so they quickly gave up breaking through them to escape.
Thump- Thump- Thump- Thump-
The monstrous giants grabbed their bone hammers and began to close in on them. When the monsters over 4 meters tall charged at them, they lost the will to fight and collapsed.
“Ahhhhhhh! We are done!”
“We can’t beat them!”
There was nowhere for them to escape. They hid behind the trucks, shuddering with fear.
However, the troll skeletons turned the trucks over. Then, they lifted their hammers against the pirates hiding there.
Bang! Bang!
Bloody screams were heard everywhere.
Kaaaaaaak! Kaaaaaaaak!
At that moment, a sharp scream began to come from the sky above Kyodong Island.
Then, a flock of giant black birds flew in.
