Tatatata! Tatatata!

Boooom!

An aerial battle raged between the air forces of the Huan Kingdom, consisting of one full squadron, hundreds of aerial beasts, and a battalion of Chaos fighters.

Unlike the Kaiser fighters of the Imperial Empire Air Force, the Huan Kingdom Air Force’s fighter jets, the Onyang 1, were purely scientific and technological products, devoid of magical elements. As a result, they were vulnerable to aerial attacks by creatures such as harpies and griffins.

Their endurance was also poor, making them easy prey for the Chaos fighters.

━Squadron Commander! If we continue like this, we will be annihilated! Rather, retreat and receive anti-aircraft support from our allies!

Contact came from the squadron leaders through the communicator, but. . . the squadron commander could not easily make a decision. Since the rear defense line had not yet been properly established, there was a high probability that the anti-aircraft defense preparations were not ready either.

In such a situation, would it be wise to move enemy air power of this scale towards friendly defenses? That would be tantamount to inviting collective death. The squadron leader conveyed his thoughts to the squadron leaders.

“If we retreat now, our comrades on the ground, who are not yet prepared for the Archduke’s defense, will be in danger. However, if you insist on retreating, I will follow your decision.”

The squadron leaders responded to the squadron leader’s words.

━We will stay.

━We will fight even if this place becomes our grave.

And so, all the squadrons fought valiantly against the aerial beasts and Chaos Air Force, and perished there.

The surviving fighters numbered zero, but they had managed to shoot down a considerable number of aerial beasts in the process. Their sacrifice allowed the Huan Kingdom forces to establish a defensive line.

Of course, the Gangseo Province defense line had been attacked before the defenses were ready, resulting in a fierce battle.

Tututututu!

Pew! Bang!

Machine gun fire rained down, and anti-tank guns roared as shells slammed into Chaos tanks. The chaos of truth tanks had tough armor that was not easily destroyed, but ten or so rounds from an anti-tank gun could immobilize them.

“The first line is collapsing!”

“Draw your swords, draw your swords!”

The Huan Kingdom soldiers who had been firing from the first trench line quickly dropped their rifles and drew their swords from their waists.

In an instant, the soldiers were armed with swords. Before these soldiers, Chaos Orcs charged forward, wielding massive double-headed axes.

Whoosh!

A soldier rolled quickly to the ground, dodging the axe, and then thrust his sword into the abdomen of the Chaos Orc in front of him. However, the Orc did not fall and instead grabbed the soldier’s neck with its left hand, lifting him up and breaking his neck. It was a display of brutal strength.

Soon, other Chaos beasts pressed the Huan Kingdom forces, and the Huan Kingdom forces on the front line were on the verge of collapse.

Just then! An assault squad armed with submachine guns appeared and attacked the beasts that were pressing the Huan Kingdom forces.

Tatatata! Tatatata!

The hail of bullets from the submachine guns tore through the bodies of the Chaos beasts. Soon, the assault squad, having exhausted their ammunition, drew their swords and clashed with the beasts.

Unlike ordinary soldiers, they fought quite well against the beasts because they were all veterans who had reached the realm of Balgyeong. They had infused their swords with internal energy, maximizing their sharpness and durability.

Thanks to the assault squad’s efforts, the front line seemed to stabilize, but even for such an assault squad, there were monsters that they could not take lightly. They were the Chaos Ogres. Although the Air Force had dealt with them, there were too many of them to handle.

In the end, the consequences spilled over to the front line. Assault squad members who were hit by the massive clubs wielded by the Ogres were sent flying, spewing blood.

Then, a heavy machine gunner took aim at the Ogre and opened fire. The attack from the large-caliber machine gun was powerful enough to penetrate the Ogre’s tough hide, but the Chaos Ogre’s tenacious vitality prevented it from falling easily.

Some of the anti-tank guns then targeted the Ogres on the front line and fired shells, eliminating them. Without the help of the anti-tank guns, the front line would have completely collapsed, but with timely support, they were able to regain the initiative.

🔸🔸🔸🔸🔸🔸

Meanwhile, at the Gangseo Province headquarters, there was a constant debate about whether or not to send in the Musketeers.

“If we don’t send in the warriors now, the front line will collapse. We must send them in quickly!”

“The enemy still outnumbers us! We have overcome the crisis for now by mobilizing the anti-tank guns. We should use the reserves to wear down the enemy.”

“Does that mean you don’t care if our soldiers are consumed?”

“The warriors are an elite force! It takes more money and time to train a warrior than a soldier! Can we afford to use such warriors as mere cannon fodder?”

“What good are the warriors if we are all dead? Even medicine is useless if you don’t have it when you need it! Don’t be stingy, Commander Yu! Send in the warriors !”

“Hey, Deputy Commander Park! There are still many soldiers! Moreover, the enemy hasn’t even deployed their main force yet!”

“How many times do I have to tell you not to be stingy? If this continues, I will report directly to the commander.”

“What? You dare report over my head? No matter how high-ranking the commander is, the warriors are under my command, my command!”

“Ha! Do as you please! Let’s see if you can say the same thing in front of the commander.”

As soon as he finished speaking, Deputy Commander Park left the barracks, and Yoo SooHan shouted loudly.

“Hey! Deputy Commander Park! Park Sangho! You son of a bitch!”
