The Difference Is Like Between a Dog and a Cow

67 – Hell Lord (3)

“Did you get some rest?”

“Certainly, sleeping under the roof is better, and I feel much better.”

The 3rd platoon leader woke up after taking a break inside the cave and said with a smile.

For two weeks, 3rd Platoon Leader Erwin Ruth had built up some level of friendship with Rumia Blueet and Roxanna Elim based on his unique cool personality.

The two of them were able to share at least a light joke.

“Where has Captain Enoch gone?”

“He said he was going on a little inspection of the platoon. Soon the 4th platoon will have to change with the 3rd platoon.”

From noble mtl dot com

“You really work hard. It’s completely different from the former company commander who just ate, slept, and packed every day.”

Erwin said, her eyes twinkling.

At the first meeting with her, he was disappointed with his sleazy appearance. When he found out that the company commander in front of him was a legendary magic officer who had won a special promotion within a month of the rumor, he went beyond simple respect and reached the realm of trust.

Besides, Sergeant Claude. War hero Claude, butcher of lightning!

With what qualifications could he not dare to acknowledge a company commander whom even Sergeant Claude Lane acknowledged? Erwin was humbly ready to obey whatever orders Enoch Levandel gave.

As long as it is an order based solely on ‘rules’ and good judgment.

“hahahaha…… The company commander is a great person.”

At the time Lumia answered with a light smile, a sudden gunshot was heard.

Taang—!!

The heads of the three turned at the same time in the direction the sound came from. It is west It was the area of the 4th Platoon, where Sergeant Hilton Kalia was the platoon leader.

The gunfire did not end with one shot.

Bang! Bang!!

After a couple of steps, it became clear that it was not just an accident.

“Platoon leader Erwin! Assemble the platoon members right now!”

The first person to move was Rumia. With Enoch absent, as a company adjutant, I had to make a quick decision.

The next person to move was Roxanna. She sensed a clear flow of mana following her gunshot.

“Squadron Adjutant! If we move our troops, we might be late! I even used magic. I’m sure the battalion commander’s bombardment will fall!”

“…… !!!”

Rumia fell into momentary trouble.

The Sony Zeppelin’s bombardment is truly relentless. It was a sight she had never experienced before, even for Rumia, who had been immersing her feet in the gate for over two years.

The magic soldiers including Enoch deployed defensive magic and quickly maneuvered to minimize the damage.

There is a high chance that you will be helpless in the shelling while you are using attack magic like now and fighting with ‘something’. Maybe it’s a state of being injured.

“Platoon commander Erwin, please come down to the west as soon as you get the platoons under control! Let us move first!”

It is unclear whether this is the right decision. However, it was definitely better than having the company commander or the 4th platoon be eliminated after being destroyed.

Do the best you can.

The mindset of an adjutant that Lieutenant Enoch Levandel emphasized so much.

In Rumia’s opinion, this was the best direction she could take.

“Okay!!”

Erwin Ruth hurriedly ran into the cave after receiving his orders, and shouted in a loud voice.

“Gentlemen!! Move faster!! Our allies are on the verge of being exposed to enemy fire!! You have to be prepared with guts!! I’ll give you just 5 seconds!!”

Choosing the troops in 5 seconds seemed impossible. Erwin Ruth and his 3rd Platoon really did it.

The members of the 3rd platoon appeared in the cave, complete with military uniforms.

“Leap ahead!!”

“Forward!!”

It took only a few minutes for them to catch up with Rumia and Roxanna, who had gone down earlier.

“Whoa.”

Joseph, who was observing the war situation, was genuinely impressed.

Of course, it was less than 1/10 of the power Sonny Zeppelin could exert. In terms of pure firepower, it is not an attack that can be seen lightly.

A clumsily deployed 2nd grade magical barrier wouldn’t be able to properly block the damage.

If they couldn’t even open a barrier, it wouldn’t be difficult to instantly render an infantry platoon incapable of combat.

The archmage is originally that kind of being. It was for this reason that they were called the “One-man corps” In the world.

However, the skills displayed by the 1st Company, which became the target of the bombardment, were beyond Joseph’s imagination.

Under the 2nd level defense barricade spread by the company commander, he is weakening Sonny Zeppelin’s attack by deploying rather colorless attack magic.

No matter how hard you try, intercepting the Archmage’s attack is not an easy task, even with empty words.

‘Roxanna Elim. They say that a psychopath is a wizard who is not envious of an archmage, so that’s true.’

The next thing was the reaction of the 3rd Platoon, which was waiting halfway up the hill. It’s quick. It was so fast that I couldn’t even imagine that it was a discharge that was taking a break.

Although the company adjutant, Lumia, seemed to have made an appropriate decision, it is not easy to move the troops according to that judgment.

A bright smile appeared on Major Josef Lewandowski’s lips.

‘It’s only been two weeks, but the connection is good.’

I was a bit worried when I heard that a new officer who had not yet graduated from the military academy would be appointed as the 1st company commander.

It was a pointless misjudgment.

It wasn’t just Josef who felt that way. Anyway, it is Sonny Zeppelin who is directly attacking. Watching her 1st company’s reaction in real time, she leapt from her seat in excitement.

“They must be crazy!!! What did you do? Are you intercepting my magic with magic missiles?”

The hit rate was not 100%. If ten shots were fired, even half of them could not be properly intercepted.

But the fact that I got it half right was surprising.

It was also surprising that even the attacks that could not be intercepted were completely blocked by the magical barrier developed by Enoch Levandel and Rumia Blue.

“Where did the idea come from? Enoch?”

“I don’t know. But the fact that it’s fantastic…… I can’t deny it.”

“I told you! It wasn’t a platoon that could be stuck there!”

At first, I was just thinking of using it as a bait to convince Enoch Levandel. After arranging it like that, it would be okay to put it roughly in one position.

The most extreme method is to select a company to drop by force and push it to that side.

In the end, it was also Sonny Zeppelin who organized the battalion. The upper echelon of the 8th Assault Magic Infantry Battalion—the commander of the Special Response Brigade was also Sonny Zeppelin.

Who would dare to disagree?

But the more he read the platoon members’ papers, the more Sonny Zeppelin was seized with a strange feeling.

Guys, these aren’t things to be left unattended.

So I was boldly assigned to the 1st company. It was also to see with my own eyes why Lieutenant Enoch Levandell cared about this platoon.

The result.

It exceeded Sony Zeppelin’s expectations.

Sonny Zeppelin, who thought he had tapped him enough, released the magic circle that was constantly pouring out his magic.

“Chief of Staff.”

“Yes, battalion commander.”

“Let’s not touch these guys anymore. I’ve seen enough.”

“I feel the same way. It’s just a matter of survival for the remaining 36 hours.”

“I will take care of it. Could I be eliminated because I couldn’t do one of them?”

“Then, would you like to stab the 2nd Company next? You must be eating now.”

You said you wouldn’t even touch a dog while eating…… It’s a dog story anyway. Now that training is under the guise of real combat, there’s no reason to worry about meal time, right?

“Good. It’s quite realistic that the bombardment falls while eating.”

“Okay.”

Sonny Zeppelin turned around and moved to the position where the 2nd Company was deploying.

It didn’t take long for the relentless artillery bombardment to hit them there as well.

***

“Whoa.”

I was finally able to breathe. It was a great relief to have prepared a reserve position in preparation for such an occasion.

Originally, there was no cozy cave like a camp, but at least there was no sharp wind blowing from the slope because the cliff was right below.

“Sorry, sorry ah… ….”

Of course, the 4th platoon leader, the culprit behind all this, was in complete danger of death.

“It’s all my fault.”

“No, Platoon Commander Hilton will do his best… ….

The moment I tried to say something comforting to her, who blamed herself so much that her self-esteem gradually surpassed her perception and pierced her mantle. I heard Erwin’s evil command.

“Tack!! What are you talking about, 4th Platoon Commander!! Why are you blaming yourself for your mistakes! The bad thing is, that bastard of the Yeti who didn’t notice!”

“Yes…… ?”

“Monsters are also hostile to humans after all, so if left alone, they might have eaten passers-by without our knowledge!”

Chuck, Erwin added, placing her hand on Hilton’s shoulder.

“Good job.”

“…… Well, yes. As the 3rd Platoon Leader said, Platoon Hilton did a good job. Wasn’t he good at troop control as well?”

“Really…… ?”

“Yes, but if you find such monsters in the future, please tell the company commander as soon as possible. That way, the entire company can respond accordingly.”

“Okay.”

Contrary to his very unconventional first impression, Platoon Leader Hilton had a very passive personality.

Of course, the characteristics he had had already been checked in the unit management window, and from reading the personal details and disciplinary reports sent from the original unit, it seemed that he had a slightly dual personality.

As soon as the word “Actual war” Came out of the battle with the Yeti a little while ago, his eyes went wide.

‘A Berserker in addition to a mad warmonger. It’s fun.’

Actually, it wasn’t fun at all, but…… What can i do Since he was already assigned to the company, he had to be taken to the end. Even when he was first assigned to an abandoned platoon, how did he somehow not lead this far? As Sergeant Claude said, it is unknown how Hilton’s platoon commander will develop.

“Grurl—.”

“Ah.”

In the meantime, a tremendous sound effect came from Rumia’s belly.

“Sir, sorry! As the tension is released, I suddenly feel very hungry.”

“It sounds like I am getting hungry.”

From noble mtl dot com

“Ugh… ….”

I burst into laughter at Rumia, who dyed her face red. Bell, who was teaching Roxanna how to make an igloo nearby, and the soldiers gathered immediately started laughing.

“Well, we still have to stay here for over 30 hours. Let’s hunt some wild animals.”

Since it has its back against the cliff, there won’t be much of a problem even if you light a fire.

“Looking at it earlier, there are also kudzu roots. If you shake off the dirt and eat it, it’s quite edible even if you don’t cook it.”

Claude, who was sitting with his back against a large tree, spoke. It must have been kudzu that the members of the 1st Platoon were chewing on.

“Good. Then, let’s disperse and gather here in exactly 30 minutes.”

“Yes!”

“Rumia is hungry, can you move?”

“Lord, I’m the company commander—!!”

When he made a light joke, Rumia screamed in fright, and the exhausted soldiers’ faces brightened even more.

Yes, the first priority is to finish the training safely.

I stood up from my seat thinking that.
