Drug-Eating Genius Mage – 314



Fortress attack operation (4)

The most important thing in a mobile fortress attack operation is to single-handedly take away control of the fortress that has reached the strategic weapon.

For him someone must break through this chaotic battle line and infiltrate the fortress.

There are many people with a body and stamina better suited for infiltration than Lennok but only Lennok has the abilities best suited for this job.

That is why after persuading his colleagues by saying that there was a way Lennok began to take independent action after a short time lag.

Charalalak!!

The magic thread pulled out is wrapped around the wall of the fortress bridge.

After confirming that it was firmly fixed Lennok slowly began to shorten the length of the magic thread.

At the same time Lennok’s body began to climb up the fortress wall.

Occasionally step on the fortress wall with both feet attach the magician towards the upper leg again and repeat the same action.

As I increased my speed within a range that did not put too much strain on my body the altitude began to increase in an instant.

“Whoa….”

As soon as you rise a few dozen meters up your ears start to feel numb and your breathing gradually becomes lighter.

All you can feel is the vibrations caused by the constant shelling of shells from the fortress.

Using common magic you can carefully control the surrounding pressure and temperature and walk upward without stopping.

Dabi said sticking his head out between the coat hanging down.

[It’s a little strange.]

“What does it mean?”

[The state of maintenance of the fortress is quite different from expected.]

After hearing those words Lennok looked at the bridge of the fortress he was stepping on.

A steel support pole that can stand on top of ten people lined up in a row.

The sight of a faint magic light flashing between the pavilions and blinking ceaselessly makes this huge fortress feel like a living breathing life.

But I guess what Dabi said wasn’t true like that.

Lennok’s gaze calmly sank.

“…The exterior of the fortress is much more outdated than I thought. “Are you talking about this?”

[The master is right.]

At first glance if it were a fortress that had been watching the front lines for 20 years it would seem that many of its facilities and exteriors were worn out and outdated but the reality is different.

The National Guard’s mobile fortress is the most thoroughly managed strategic weapon on the outer front and is a mobile fortress itself.

Naturally it would be natural for the National Guard to spend most of its time on maintenance and repairs to the fortress’s facilities and dots.

However even considering that fact the current appearance of the fortress was extremely outdated.

As if it had been abandoned for a very long time.

“….”

Ominous assumptions run through Lennok’s mind.

But before I can concentrate on that thought I hear a series of loud shouts coming through my earphones.

The cries are so desperate that it is difficult to handle them even at the volume that has already been turned down.

At the same time reports from leaders of each team began to come in one after another.

[This is Iri. Near the reactor coolant facility. Encountering a level 7 physically capable person…!! It is presumed to be Director Alban.]

[Major Zelich is waiting between the back gates of the fortress. Battle… seems unavoidable.]

[Six colonels appeared near the front street. I will try my best to hold out but I may not be able to prevent the formation from collapsing!]

[The appearance of a mechanical man with a strange appearance is visible in all three directions. There is a high possibility that it is the power of the gear side.]

As promised the main forces of the National Guard appeared simultaneously on all three entry routes.

It is nothing short of proof that the other side also read our troops’ capabilities and responded in all directions.

What does it mean to step forward like this instead of crouching inside the fortress and wasting time?

[There isn’t much time.]

“okay.”

Lennok let go of the burned-out tobacco and reached into his arms.

Lennok lit a newly taken out candle as he watched the light from the tobacco falling to the ground about a hundred meters below.

“We should start before it’s too late.”

The magician who had been holding on to the bridge of the fortress without knowing the end reaches the end for the first time.

Without hesitation I pulled the magician straight.

Clap la la rock!!

In an instant Lennok’s body soared upward passing over the bridge and heading towards the fortress.

An exquisite location where the rain of artillery shells raining down on the ground was deflected.

Shake!!

A coat covered in dust rolled around as it climbed onto the fortress.

“Ugh…!”

I could have used magic but I didn’t.

Even though it was possible to climb the fortress by bike I gave up in order to make as little noise and noise as possible.

If he had sneaked in here using only the magician and common magic which consumes the least amount of magic power and is not easy to track he had to do his best until the end.

I stood up holding back the cough that escaped through the dust I was covered in.

The items I was holding with my hands were piles of unknown materials wrapped in wet cloth.

More than a thousand boxes of supplies the size of a car were piled up nearby.

“ha….”

Lennok then slowly looked around and sighed silently.

A vast deck as if dozens of ships were joined together.

The width is so vast that it is possible to cover the entire city area near the satellite city with just this width.

The scene of a battle that is still being fought fiercely can be vaguely seen below over a hundred meters in the sky.

I now look down at my feet at the countless barrage of cannonballs that I had to look up at just moments ago.

What had to be done was decided.

“Dabi scan finished?”

[It’s not easy because of the magnetic storm passing nearby. Although the approximate structure can be identified it will likely take some time to obtain control of the internal structure.]

“I don’t have much time. “I guess I’ll have to move first.”

It is clear that the position where you are currently standing is at the end of the fortress deck.

It shouldn’t be that difficult to find the direction to the center by looking at the path you’ve taken.

Lennok quietly suppressed his magic and began to walk.

With something like Nyx’s insignia and the Shadow Coat Druid’s amulet it wouldn’t be that difficult to fool the commanding officer guarding the National Guard fortress control room.

Lieutenant General Trepen’s presence bothers me but once I get to the server room where I can intervene in the central system that’s it.

Whioooooooo…!!

The cold wind blowing from a high altitude beat Lennok’s body mercilessly.

Tightening his coat collar Lennok looked around quickly and nodded.

“There are certainly no signs of use of the supplies around here. “It’s very old but it’s practically like new.”

[It shares the appearance and characteristics of the fortress.]

“It is clear that the supplies on deck passed through a place like a fortress. However if the fortress equipment itself is greatly deteriorated in this way….”

[Master first of all it would be faster to find a way to the inside of the fortress.]

Dabi quickly broke Lennok out of his thoughts and spoke.

[If you search through the internal circuit control room you will quickly find the cause of this phenomenon.]

“I guess so. But something…”

Even as Lennok pondered he quickly climbed onto the deck and moved to find a way into the fortress’ interior.

Not a single person moves between the large artillery batteries located above the deck and military weapons such as countless tanks and fighter jets.

Like the scenery of an empty satellite city it is strange that not a single person has come near the deck of the fortress.

Only the noise of artillery fire pouring down on the ground filled the upper deck.

Lennok’s feet were faster than the questions floating around in his head.

“I found it. “It’s one of the passageways that goes below the deck of the fortress.”

Click!

The gate had its number written in bright yellow paint so that it could be seen clearly.

However the colors are discolored and fall off making it difficult to even see the numbers.

Although it is locked if you open this door you will be able to sneak into the fortress.

However instead of opening the door with force right away Lennog looked up at the discolored paint.

“….”

[Master?]

“I don’t know about other facilities but even the gate which is the first thing you see when going between decks is neglected.”

[….]

“The fact that the gate number is not clearly visible is not simply a management problem but a level of deficiency that could cause a disruption in command and control. “This… It’s clear that something has already happened within the National Guard.”

The panoramic view of the fortress that I have encountered so far quickly passes through my mind.

The moment when the unknown fragments scattered among memories were put together like a puzzle and were heading toward a single correct answer –

“Until there.”

Someone thrust a cold blade from behind Lennok.

“Because the area in front of it is a designated area where entry is prohibited except for those involved.”

“….”

“I wish the outsiders would just go home.”

A voice that feels somewhat relaxed even in this tense situation.

However the magic power contained in that tone is truly powerful.

The intention to convey one’s fighting intentions more clearly than anything else without even showing the slightest fighting spirit.

It was decided who the opponent would be.

“…That seems a bit out of context.”

Lennok slowly turned his back.

“Do you really want me to go back?”

“That’s what it says. “Let’s not get too serious.”

Gray hair with one eye closed and a rough scar engraved on it. A man in his mid-30s with the fierce appearance of a beast.

A star is shining softly on the military uniform epaulet draped over his shoulder.

As different wardens appeared on different battlefields it was clear who the opponent was.

One of the three major generals who rose to the top of the National Guard Command.

Among them Director Barclay who was said to have the strongest personality and energy was standing in front of Lennok.

“In the tough military life shouldn’t you be able to tell jokes and make them laugh?”

“Military life… does that include the authors waiting over there?”

Lennok slowly turned his head as he said that.

On the deck covered in thick fog. Countless laser pointers that had never been seen before passed by accurately dyed Lennok’s coat red.

The visor’s eyelight glows softly. The power of the elite command unit guarding the fortress deck has suddenly appeared on the deck and is surrounding it on all sides.

What does it mean that hundreds of people who could not be sensed even by magical power appeared in the blink of an eye?

It didn’t take long for Lennok to realize the answer.

“It looks like there are several hidden passages below the fortress deck.”

Lennok looked at Barclay’s face and rummaged around in his arms.

“Were you aware of my infiltration but were you waiting until you could form a formation?”

“yes. “I have roughly heard about your actions.”

The director shook his head.

“The fastness of Area 49. It is said that the magician’s forces are formidable but he enjoys acting alone. “I thought you might know but I didn’t know you would make such a bold move.”

Barclay said with a low laugh.

“I never thought they would climb up the outer wall of the fortress and attack the deck. Did you know that all military equipment is coated with anti-magic interference coating?”

“….”

“It’s a bit hard for me to believe that I went this far without knowing that but… work is work.”

Slam!

As he said that he slightly twisted the blade he was holding in his hand.

“Let’s do our best together.”

A sword with an impressive blade as large as Barclay’s physique.

The bright red yarn hanging from the end of the handle is impressive.

Lennok stared at the sword’s shining silver blade took out another piece of tobacco and asked as he bit into it.

“Are you not planning on surrendering?”

“what?”

“Major General Barclay Yagert Army National Guard. “I heard that he has the most reasonable disposition among the three major generals who follow Lieutenant General Treppen.”

“….”

“The city council and the deputy agent are watching this operation with interest. “It may be impossible for Lieutenant General Treppen to avoid responsibility for this incident but he can at least cover up one of the generals below him.”

I am not saying this in vain.

The opponent is the head of the National Guard Command. He is also a castle-level prosecutor who has already reached a considerable level.

Here you must conserve as much of the magical energy consumed in the battle with Barclay as possible in order to give your best when dealing with Vice Admiral Trepen.

Otherwise if Trepen is listening to this conversation now it could give room for infighting depending on Barclay’s attitude.

Either way it wouldn’t be a bad option for Lennok.

“If you cooperate with us and open the way to the fortress’ central control room we can entrust your safety to you until the operation is over.”

The light of the laser pointer wavered dizzyingly through the spreading smoke.

“It won’t be difficult to escape with your life.”

“…This is a little different from what I’ve heard.”

Barclay looked at Lennok’s face with an amused expression as he took out a candle.

“I heard he was a wizard who was crazy about fighting but he turned out to be a lot more cold-hearted than I thought.”

“What is the answer?”

“It’s an interesting offer but I decline.”

Barclay smiled bitterly and shook his head.

“I don’t really want to do what I’m doing now but it had to happen someday.”

“….”

“The commander just needed someone to have his back. I’ve known that for a long time but I didn’t stop it. “Now you have to pay the price.”

It was a very calm statement but what was visible inside it was not an acceptance of death.

It’s just a judgment to calmly accept the situation and find a way out.

“Even if I get caught up in that vain ambition and die?”

“Isn’t that why you’re working like this now to avoid dying?”

Barclay grinned and draped the sword he was holding over his shoulder.

“If we kick you out of this abandoned city and make the rebellion successful things will work out somehow. “The soldiers remaining here all accept the lieutenant general’s decision that way.”

“….”

“So I hope you don’t do anything unnecessary and stick your head out quietly.”

At the same time that the smile on the Major General’s lips turned cold violent magical power began to bloom from the lower part of the Great Sword’s blade.

“You know that nothing will change now right?”

“I see.”

Lennok nodded.

The moment when the smoke flowing out of the mouth of the first person mixed with the thick fog around it became infinitely cold.

“After hearing that I was mentally prepared as well.”

Ugh!!!

In an instant huge ice fragments rose above the fortress deck.

A formative magic of the freezing type that instantly gathers and solidifies the surrounding fog.

A cone large enough to cover one side of the deck gate instantly covered the piles of deck materials in the area.

“Pull!!”

Dozens of command staff who were waiting under Barclay’s orders pulled the trigger at the same time.

Tutututututututu!!

There were dozens of people carrying not just assault rifles but heavy machine guns worthy of commanding officers guarding the deck of a fortress.

The firepower of the barrage fired between them is too much to block simply with magic power.

Huge ice shards fly out in a chaotic manner scattering chunks of ice everywhere and in an instant the thick wall is eaten away completely revealing the wizard beyond.

A fleeting moment when the distance between each other began to be measured.

Barclay slowly slid the sword over his shoulder and moved.

Suddenly!!

Even though he is carrying an infinitely heavy weapon the series of movements cannot be clearly seen.

The moment I lowered my posture and adjusted the handle the sharp blade was already cutting straight through a huge shard of ice.

A dark flash flew diagonally and in an instant deeply cut into the magician’s divine form that existed beyond it.

Kugugugugugung!!!

A huge shard of ice split in half collapsed onto the deck causing a cold frost.

“this.”

Barclay then realized his mistake and frowned.

Beyond the ice fragments the piece of meat that appeared to be the wizard’s corpse was nowhere to be seen.

Instead gusts of frost fluttering from all directions suddenly began to cling to the commanding officer’s limbs.

“Director So!!”

“My body doesn’t move!”

“Is there anyone who can light a spark?”

“Damn it it’s like this…!!”

Kwaaaa!!

A huge shock wave suddenly exploded among the struggling command staff completely wiping out everything on the deck.

“Aaaah!!”

A scream of extreme despair. The sight of the National Guard troops losing their fighting ability to the point of futility and falling into a near-death state as their frozen limbs are shattered.

Even the strong body of the commanding officer guarding the fortress deck is helpless against the cold mixed with magical energy.

However Barclay’s mouth twitched when he looked at the direction from which the shock wave came rather than at the commanding officers who were dying immediately.

Tanks left abandoned without owners. One of them suddenly opened its muzzle and fired a heavy shell.

There is absolutely no possibility that it was a coincidence of friendly fire. There was only one conclusion I could think of.

“…This is the worst. Could it be that you were calculating up to this point?”

Let’s go…!!

Tanks scattered haphazardly on the deck slowly turn their muzzles.

The fighter jet which had been covered in dust began to roll its wheels and start racing aimlessly between the decks of the fortress.

Doo doo doo doo doo!!

Kugugoogung!!

The shells of the tanks running in all directions constantly hit the deck and the small missiles hanging between the wings of the fighter plane fall and explode.

Quaaaaaaaaa!!

A flower of flame blooms red on the deck where a gust of frost blows.

Cold and hot winds blew alternately coloring the sky above the fortress red and blue.

It didn’t take long for everyone here to notice something was wrong.

“Everyone fucking back!!”

“Whatever happens don’t give up the center of the deck!!”

“There is nowhere to run!!!”

Barclay with a slight frown took the lead and shouted swinging his sword.

“Anyone who can move can help take care of the injured nearby!”

Whoa!!

The heavy sword wind that came out at the same time as the long sword was swung lying down suppressed the nearby explosion and impact and opened the way.

“All gunners with sight goggles change your viewing angle and look for fastness!”

Barclay’s face gradually hardens due to the endless bombardment.

Even though they were the ones who caught the opponent off guard first they were just being toyed with here and there as if they had been waiting for the battle to begin.

On the contrary it almost makes one suspect that Goryeong was planning a plan and waiting.

What makes Barclay uneasy more than anything is Lennok’s intention to disrupt the formation so far and still not show himself.

If there’s something more important to worry about than killing him and other commanding officers and breaking through the gate-

Together…!!

That ominous feeling turned into confidence the moment I saw a corner of the fortress deck.

A ground interception gun installed on the deck of the fortress.

Some of the thousands of artillery batteries that were firing toward the ground began to turn their heads in a different direction.

The direction of the gun port is near the 8-lane road where fierce fighting has taken place so far. The last line of the National Guard’s main force occupying the main street.

At the same time Barclay’s face hardened as he looked at the gunfire that had begun to point towards allies rather than enemies.

Lennok’s calm cheer rang out.

[Complete control of 240 guns of mobile fortress omnidirectional batteries. Additional interpretation of question 338 is in progress.]

“…Fuck you.”

[Change of bombardment target. All bombs are fired at the main force of the National Guard.]
