The Academy’s Barbarian Chapter 219

(One)

One.

Immediately after the emergency meeting ended.

The Ulan group finished preparing to depart for the canyon. Soon, the selection of the final number of people participating in the punitive force began.

The number of people organized was as follows.

Ulan, Noah, Ibella, Delia, and Perticia.

Professor Melt is in charge of managing the train. Owen and the knights who served as his guard. In addition, the Henes team will manage the magic armor.

A punitive force consisting of about 20 people in total.

It was a very small number compared to facing thousands of enemies, but it could not be helped.

As the horsepower-driven train increases in size, its speed will decrease, and by that time, they will have already crossed the canyon.

‘In the first place, the opponent is undead.’

Even the undead possess the curse of immortality.

If you make a mistake, you will not be able to fight properly and will only increase the enemy’s forces.

‘In that case, it’s better to have less.’

In other words, only a small number of elites are the answer.

In fact, I didn’t want to take the middle-level knights, including Owen, with me.

However, considering the safety of Professor Melt and the engineers, this is also an inevitable choice.

Some time after that.

“Power source operation complete!”

“Activate the horsepower track!”

“The train is leaving!”

As a signal to the train drivers’ shouts, the tightly closed iron gate opened. Next, the horse-powered train carrying the group began its powerful run.

“We will take care of future operations.”

It was a natural distribution of roles.

Professor Melt is the person who created the horse-powered train and is more knowledgeable about trains than anyone else gathered here.

Afterwards, several drivers, including Owen, headed to the engine room together. This was to focus on escorting, which was the original mission given to them.

“Then, please excuse us too.”

“There is a lot to do to collect combat data and find out the damage rate depending on the situation.”

Engineers who manage magic armor.

The Henness team also began its mission.

Afterwards, only Ulan and his group were left alone in the empty room. However, there was no time to relax just because the battle had not yet begun.

Because they also had work to do.

“Then let me explain the strategy.”

Noah spread out the map on his desk.

It was a military map depicting the surrounding area in detail. She pointed to a canyon in the middle of the road from the northern border to Flute.

“This is the canyon that Sergeant Cedric crossed over using flight magic, and this is where we will soon be fighting.”

On the other hand, the demon beasts chasing the sergeant would not have been able to use flight magic, so they would have naturally passed through the bottom of the canyon and crossed over to the other side.

“I figured this process took about half a day.”

“Why did you decide that way?”

“That’s how long it took for Sergeant Cedric to rest before reaching the flute.”

Unlike magical beasts that had infinite stamina unless their mana was depleted, Sergeant Cedric had clear limits to his stamina and mana.

So, I had no choice but to repeat short breaks, and if I add up all the time I took breaks, it would be about half a day.

“Afterwards, when the sergeant reached the flute, the gap between him and the horsemen had narrowed again. So he calculated it as half a day.”

It’s a reasonable guess.

The group, except Ulan, nodded as if they understood Noah’s story.

“If it’s half a day longer than that…” … .”

“Arrival, expected time, and time are similar.”

“huh. “As soon as we arrive, we will probably rush into battle without even having time to build a camp.”

Therefore, if you want to discuss the operation, you should do it in advance when you have time. Noah retrieved the map he had laid out on her desk and opened his mouth again.

“The overall flow of the operation is the same as what has been done so far. “I create a barrier to gather enemies, and then Delia blows them away.”

Next, when the battlefield is devastated, Ulan and Ibella sortie and suppress the remnants.

As Noah said, this is a tactic that has been used several times in the past. Is that why? Ulan and the others all looked familiar.

But then.

Noah added a new condition.

“But this time it’s a little different than usual.”

“Hmm? “You mean different?”

“There are undead mixed in this time. So, everyone needs to divide up their roles.”

Undead are resistant to magic.

Additionally, the undead created by the undead lord have stronger resistance. In other words, it means that he is the worst compatibility with Delia.

There are two ways to completely eliminate the undead.

“Holy power, and elemental magic.”

In short, the only ones who can eliminate the undead are Perticia and her contractor, Ulan.

With this fact, the group immediately understood what Noah meant by the division of roles.

“I will have to target only the demon beast as much as possible.”

“Then the undead will be mine.”

Delia and Ulan spoke in turn.

Noah nodded silently as if it was the correct answer. Afterwards, she concluded the conversation.

“This is the end of the basic operation. “We will deal with any unexpected situations that arise in the future by looking at each situation.”

“i get it. “Let’s do that.”

“Yes, I understand.”

How long has it been like that?

After discussing the strategy and fixing their weapons, the Henes team returned to the room.

“Everyone, we’ve waited a long time!”

“We have just completed all inspections.”

“Let’s go check it out together!”

It was with the good news that the final inspection of the magic armor to be worn by Ulan and his party had been completed.

2.

At that time, the eastern jungle.

Sven, who left Schulfern for reconnaissance, figured out how the war was going.

And finally I realized.

This is why the appearance of demonic beasts has become more frequent recently.

Furthermore, what was the reason why the demonic beasts had no choice but to leave their habitat?

‘… … ‘Undead.’

When he first set foot in the jungle, there was not even a trace of the undead.

However, at some point, they began to appear gradually, and now the frequency of their appearances has clearly increased compared to that of demonic beasts.

‘It was definitely from this morning.’

From the dawn of dawn, the number of undead increased exponentially.

As a result, the eastern jungle became filled with the deadly energy they gave off, and the demon beasts that could not endure this left their habitat and came out.

This was Sven’s conclusion.

‘Here are a few more things.’

There was a new fact discovered.

The point is that the undead moved out of the jungle in groups. They moved busily as if they had a clear destination.

‘It looked like an army.’

The consistent movement suggests that there are not only undead, but also a commander.

Sven instinctively felt uncomfortable at this fact. So he decided to immediately stop scouting and leave the jungle.

‘I have to tell Milena.’

Undead cannot be defeated using ordinary methods. It can only be subdued with a weapon made of silver or someone who uses divine power.

So, we had to come up with a countermeasure as quickly as possible before the undead attacked Schulfern.

Just as I was about to leave the jungle.

“… … !”

Suddenly his expression hardened.

At the same time, Sven, who had been hiding on the tree, gave up trying to hide his presence and immediately jumped to the ground.

Then at that moment.

Quack! Crack!

The tree that Sven had been sitting on until just now was completely crumpled. As if it had been squeezed by a giant invisible hand.

This is absolutely not a natural phenomenon.

The moment I realized that I was being attacked by someone, a strange voice suddenly struck my ear.

【I never thought I would come here on my own.】

A voice scratching a steel plate with a blade.

What appeared next was a huge eyeball.

An unknown monster that Sven encountered by chance near the jungle after a battle in the past. He is also a guy who couldn’t be hunted because he couldn’t find his weakness.

‘and… … .’

It wasn’t just eyeballs that appeared.

An unidentified group wearing gray robes.

Sven narrowed his eyes as he found those hiding behind his eyeballs.

‘human? ‘Are you a wizard?’

The unique smell of magical power stings my nose.

Soon, Sven quickly scanned the surroundings and closely observed the attackers. He wanted to check the size and location of the enemy.

‘The number is eight in total.’

There were two eyeball monsters, one to the north and the other to the south, centered around him, and six men surrounded him as if surrounding him.

What on earth are they doing? You’re not a demon or undead, so why are you attacking me?

Questions arise one after another. However, there was no time given to continue worrying.

【Sixth Star, Sven Isaac.】

【I will destroy you according to the king’s command.】

Finally, a cold notice.

It was because I felt a threatening energy again. Sven quickly kicked the ground, and soon the spot he was in was dented again.

‘As expected, I don’t see any attacks.’

Nevertheless, the reason Sven was able to avoid it was because his body reacted to the killing intent.

A truly tricky ability.

Actually, in a situation like this, the only best thing to do would be to run away, but that wasn’t possible. This is because the men in gray robes have been putting pressure on them.

‘Then it would be better… … .’

Even if it means giving up flesh and taking bones, let’s secure a way out and escape.

Immediately after making my own judgment.

Sven immediately freed up space.

Then, after dodging another intangible attack, he quickly pulled the bowstring.

Bababababaak!

A rain of arrows pouring down in the blink of an eye.

A barrage of arrows roaring through the air signaled the start of the battle.

3.

Some time after that.

The place where Ulan and his group arrived was the last car of the train. This is where the supplies needed for subjugation and the magic armor brought from the Plume Workshop are stored.

“Okay then, let’s open the door!”

Engineers with triumphant expressions.

After a while, the thick iron door opened and a total of three magic armored vehicles appeared.

The Hennes team’s masterpieces prepared for Ulan, Delia, and Ibella, respectively. The first thing they introduced was Delia’s magic armor.

“As you can see, all repairs have been completed.”

“In addition, we definitely strengthened the helmet and head that were broken in the last test.”

One more thing here.

There was something different from before. The engineers continued their passionate explanations with their eyes shining.

“Oh, and something I newly realized is that there is no need to enhance mobility with the magic armor worn by wizards.”

“So, instead of slightly lowering the mobility, we significantly increased the exoskeleton’s defense.”

Through the last test, engineers realized something.

The fact that there is no need to make the magic armor worn by wizards exactly the same as that of knights.

Accordingly, we carried out transformations and modifications to take advantage of the wizard’s characteristics and advantages as much as possible, and in this way, we were able to complete Delia’s own magic armor.

“Next, this is a light magic armor made especially for Ibella cadets.”

Immediately after it became known that Ibella had reached Expert level through Ulan, the Hennes team released additional magic armor for her.

Of course, it was not made from scratch, but was merely a remodeling of existing magic armor.

“Contrary to the Delia Cadet’s magic armor, we lowered its defense and maximized its mobility.”

“But you don’t have to worry.”

“Even if your defense is low, you can easily block attacks from the undead.”

This is also the fundamental reason for providing magic armor to the three. So engineers plated the exoskeletons of all magic armor with silver.

This is to prevent undead attacks from penetrating the magic armor and reaching the wearer.

“Okay, now for the last time… … .”

“This is Ulan Cadet’s magic armor.”

It is finally Ulan’s turn to return.

At the appearance of the magic armor that appeared shortly after, everyone in the group, except Ulan, widened their eyes.

“… … !”

The reason was simple.

Because the size of the magic armor has doubled compared to before. Meanwhile, unlike the group who looked surprised, Ulan grinned silently.

It was a very satisfying smile.
