Like he said, Lee s.h.i.+n Woo attacked two cities in the danger level 3 zone simultaneously. His goal was to confuse the Emperor, as well as the 12 generals that followed his commands.
Although it was possible that two of the 12 generals could be sent to both cities, Lee s.h.i.+n Woo was confident that he could finish his attack and retreat before they got there, so it wasn't really a problem. If the Empire were to be put on guard due to an unknown force, then... Ethan Cruz's plan either wouldn't work, or it would have to be altered, which wasn't bad by any means.
”Of course, that's not the real reason. I just want to use all the strength that I've acquired.”
”I'm glad you're honest.”
Lee s.h.i.+n Woo, together with Jin and Kratia, led the Giants and attacked the city. Chi Paul, s.h.i.+no Rendu, and Bisher Moon led the remaining Pauls and attacked a separate city.
Of course, he had divided his forces deliberately. On one side, there were the Giants, and on the other side, there were elite undead. There was no better way to sow chaos amongst his enemies. But there was one problem.
”It's too easy...”
Lee s.h.i.+n Woo ordered the Giants to attack all at once, saw the castle walls go down in one hit, and smiled bitterly. Because Lee s.h.i.+n Woo and Kratia had preemptively intercepted the magicians (Thunder Arrow was great for taking down low level magicians), there was nothing to stop the Giants' head-on a.s.sault.
”With these forces, I feel like I could easily take down a level 4 danger zone city as well.”
”It's too dangerous.”
If they went on to the level 4 danger zone, it would be impossible for them to conquer a city and retreat within a few hours. Not only did he have to take into account the higher level undead, but the cities were also huge! Moreover, they were so close to the capital that it wouldn't be surprising if one of the 12 generals suddenly appeared.
”I'll have to conquer those cities eventually, but it's not time yet. ...Though I think that that time will come faster than I antic.i.p.ated.”
Lee s.h.i.+n Woo watched as the Giants, who had charged forward, use one hand to break buildings and the other to break the castle, and suddenly realized just how much he'd gained from the Giants' domain.
Not only had he recruited 3,000 of Metafel's troops, but he'd also acquired two level 7 t.i.tan elites and the powerful t.i.tans as his subordinates as well. Although it required a 60 day recharge time, the powerful weapon that increased his strength... the t.i.tan Golem was also the same.
”If the Archmage saw it, then he'd be p.i.s.sed. As I thought, you have to be cautious making big moves in the level 4 danger zone.”
[Master, I believe the lord is attempting to run away unnoticed.]
”What?”
Rem reported as he watched the enemies' movements from the sky, and Lee s.h.i.+n Woo's goblin fire swayed. However, he didn't even move; he simply shot a Breath of the Lightning G.o.d far away.
He saw the lord running away with a company of knights guarding him by borrowing Rem's sight. Although the lord was several kilometers away, he precisely controlled the Breath of the Lightning G.o.d and pierced his forehead!
[Kuaaaaahk!]
”Good, a direct hit. Jin, let's take our time.”
Before he even heard the sound from afar, Lee s.h.i.+n Woo saw, through Rem's eyes, that his attack had hit. His jawbone rattled, he smiled relaxingly, and patted Jin.
He'd been practicing that ultrlong-distance sniper shot lately. Lee s.h.i.+n Woo would skillfully aim the bone with his will, and after ascertaining the enemy's location through Rem, he would shoot out a powerful attack!
It sounded easy to do, but he and Rem had different viewpoints, so getting a direct hit was difficult. He was, however, getting a lot of training by choosing where to summon the Breath of the Lightning G.o.d, as well as increasing his a.s.similation with Rem. And this time, he definitely succeeded.
”It'd be amazing if I could do it with a huge weapon later on. ...Ha, wait a sec. If I were to send this to Rem's inventory, then...”
”You just keep making more and more weird techniques.”
”Paul Zero, you're so cool.”
Jin grumbled in amazement, but Kratia's eyes gleamed, as though she understood just how difficult Lee s.h.i.+n Woo's technique was to use. Unfortunately, Jin hadn't realized that Lee s.h.i.+n Woo was docking points from him because of this.
”Did you kill him?”
”No, I'd like to meet him face to face. I want to know if he reported to his superiors or not. Hey, break that more thoroughly! There are knights hiding inside, so get on top and stomp on it!”
[I understand!]
Lee s.h.i.+n Woo and Jin advanced towards the city in a leisurely manner. He encouraged the Giants, who were unleas.h.i.+ng carnage and destruction, and cut across without rus.h.i.+ng. In less than an hour, they arrived before the lord, who was lying down with a Breath of the Lightning G.o.d sticking out of his head.
He was situated in a hidden pa.s.sageway behind his castle, and Lee s.h.i.+n Woo's Breath of the Lightning G.o.d had broken through the ceiling and pierced his head. The Giants had taken note of this, and rushed over, killing the knights that had been protecting the lord.
”h.e.l.lo.”
[You... I order you to remove this!]
Lee s.h.i.+n Woo approached the lord, who was fluttering around like a fish who'd been struck by a harpoon, and as he wished, removed the blade. He struggled to upright his body, but a part of his skull fell to the floor and he was staggering. The lord had realized that he had no hopes of recovering.
[Do you even know who I am... Who the h.e.l.l are you!?]
”Look here, did you ask the Emperor to send one of the 12 generals?”
[Keuk, you already knew about that, yet you attacked the city regardless? Are you insane...? That's right, the moment you broke through the castle walls, I reported in! The Vulture General will be coming!]
”Vulture...?”
A Vulture. [1] He was definitely one of the 12 generals, but the word 'Vulture' really bothered him. There was the possibility that it just meant that he had a bald head, but... perhaps he was the second opponent (after the Archmage) that they would have to worry about.
”It would be different if Feotane Von Seldin came, but I'm not particularly afraid of him.”
