Chapter 236: Reconnaissance

Amiletta asked.

“Where did Soo Hyuk and Yeon Jeung go on a reconnaissance?”

“Yes, reconnaissance. For Alin.”

Amiletta stared at Cranosson without saying a word.

And Cranosson could feel her ask him ‘Did you send those two as scouts?’ with her eyes.

“No.”

Cranosson shook his head quickly.

“They wanted to do that personally.”

“Great.”

Amiletta coughed as an apology for misunderstanding him.

“But why are you here?”

Cranosson asked.

“Did you come to check the contents of the report?”

He wondered why Amiletta, who should be in the capital, came all the way to Ilom.

“Is the report true?”

Amiletta answered his question with a question.

“Yeah.”

“Then the war is over.”

“Ah?”

If the information in the report is true, then there is nothing to do other than destroying the castle. They had no reason to occupy all areas. Moreover, many demons of the Kyrad faction died. In other words, the war is already over once they attack Alin.

“By the way…”

Amiletta said, blurring the end of her words.

“Are they really going to scout?”

“Yes?”

Cranoson replied. Then he soon understood her meaning and thought about it.

‘Are they really just going to reconnaissance?’

____________________

Soo Hyuk grinned as he moved to a local Amiletta faction outpost.

The reason Soo Hyuk smiled was because of the quest he received from Cranosson.

[Alin Reconnaissance]

Reconnaissance to Alin Castle!

[Reconnaissance rate: 0%]

Quest reward: 1 million contributions.

It is a reconnaissance quest. Unlike general outposts, the contribution amounted to 1 million.

“Are you going to kill them all?”

Yeon Jeung asked

Soo Hyuk closed the quest window and replied.

“Yes, until the contribution reaches 100 million.”

It was a reconnaissance quest, but he had no intention of doing just reconnaissance.

Soo Hyuk was planning to hunt the Kirad faction demons in Alin. His goal was to reach 100 million contributions.

Soo Hyuk and Yeon Jeung were able to arrive at the outpost while talking.

They then used the Warp Gate to arrive at Outpost 7 the nearest to Alin castle.

“I guess it’s because it’s the front line.’

When Soo Hyuk arrived at the 7th outpost, he could see the Demons moving in a hurry.

Then they went to the east entrance while resuming their conversation.

“Are we going to stop by on the way?”

“Kyrad outposts?”

“Yeah, there must be one on the way.”

Area C was controlled by the Amiletta faction.

However, the Kyrad faction still had outposts in the area. Just like there were Amiletta outposts in areas A, B, G, and H.

“We can check them.”

It was on their way and now each Demon of the Kyrad faction was a valuable contribution.

Soo Hyuk summoned his wagon after arriving at the east entrance. Then they began to move towards Alin castle.

It was then that a Demon came out of the outpost at great speed and stopped in front of the wagon.

“Hello! This is Outpost 7 Commander Hered!”

It was the High-Class Demon in charge of outpost 7.

Soo Hyuk thought without saying a word. ‘Why did he block the way?’

Hered, realizing the meaning of that look, quickly continued.

“May I ask where you are going now?”

“Ah, we are going to Alin Castle.”

“Alin? Not an outpost?”

Hered asked with a surprised expression. What Soo Hyuk and Yeon Jeung had been doing was conveyed to all outposts.

Therefore, Hered thought that they had come to finish the Kyrad faction outposts in area C. But they were going to Alin?

“If the two of you break into Alin…”

“This is a reconnaissance.”

Soo Hyuk cut off Hered’s words and answered. He didn’t tell the truth because he was afraid that Hered might follow.

“Ah.”

Hered exclaimed. Then there was silence for a while. After coming to his senses, Hered quickly stood aside and allowed Soo Hyuk and Yeon to be on their way to Alin.

“Where are they going?”

When Hered returned, first lieutenant general Roaru asked.

“Are they going to the outpost?”

“No.”

“?”

Roaru tilted his head at Hered’s answer.

Obviously, they went out to the east entrance. And to the east was the outpost of the Kyrad faction.

“Alin.”

Roaru was surprised. The two of them swept through the outposts of the Kyrad faction.

But Alin is a different story. The scale of Alin cannot be compared to the outposts. And they are going to attack Alin alone?

“Come on, follow them.”

“They went reconnaissance.”

“Ah, reconnaissance.”

Roaru was worried that they might be doing something reckless and was relieved.

“But don’t you have to go through the outpost to get to Alin?”

Then Roaru said after thinking.

“Right.”

Hered nodded his head.

To get to Alin, you had to pass through the outpost of the Kyrad faction.

“Then you should be prepared.” I think you should take a look at ραΠdαsnovel.cοm

“How?”

Roaru asked.

What if Soo Hyuk and Yeon Jeung pass through the outpost? It would be devastating.

In other words, there was no need for preparations. But what do they prepare for?

“The two of them went on a reconnaissance to Alin.”

“Right.”

“What would that mean?”

At Hered’s words, surprise appeared at Roaru’s face.

“The time has come for the siege of Alin!”

Hered said with a smirk as he saw Roaru’s surprised expression.

“The order will come soon. Let’s prepare ahead of time.”

________

[You have completed the quest ‘C Outpost of the Kyrad faction.]

[The contribution also rises by 300,000.]

Soo Hyuk looked at the message and made a sad expression.

‘I thought it would be quite a lot.’

Although this is an outpost, if you cross it, Alin will come out. So, he thought that there would be many Demons in the outpost. However, contrary to expectations there were not too many demons.

There were only 300 Demons guarding the outpost. It took less than 15 minutes to clear it.

“Shall we depart?”

Yeon Jeung asked

“Yea”

Soo Hyuk nodded.

Then they exited through the eastern entrance and continued driving the wagon along the road. The moment they passed the mountain, Yeon Jeung stopped.

“Wow.”

Then he exclaimed in admiration. Soo Hyuk looked forward in admiration as well.

The reason for their admiration was the huge wall in front of them. It was the wall of the city of Alin.

“Is it that big?” “Yeah, it looks really fortified.”

It was different from the walls of Ilom. It was taller and stronger. It was like an impregnable fortress.

“How tall will this be?”

In response to Yeon Jeung’s question, Soo Hyuk measured the height of the fortress wall.

“30 m? 40m? I do not know.”

Soo Hyuk gave up trying to guess. Because it was too high. He then looked at the wall and thought.

‘If it’s this big…’

He then immediately smiled after checking the wall length.

‘I will unconditionally achieve 100 million.’

It was different from the outposts they had visited so far. The number of Demons would be enormous.

“What are you going to do?”

Yeon Jeung asked.

“Destroy the wall? or find the entrance?”

Only the wall was visible, they saw no entrance.

It seems that they would have to look for the entrance. However, they did not need an entrance to enter Alin. They can create a new one.

Although the fortress wall looked very solid, Soo Hyuk’s attack power was enough to blast through it.

Soo Hyuk started thinking about it when he heard Yeon Jeung’s words.

‘I think going to the entrance would definitely be a good way to attract attention.’

What he thought about was a frontal breakthrough. However, looking at the size of the fortress wall, it was a bit difficult to break through the front.

‘If there are dozens of Demons like Riinka.’

Riinka, a High-Class Demon that dispelled Fire Storm and Poison Storm. What if there were dozens of Demons like her in Alin?

They will dispel all his spells and they will receive a one-sided beating.

No matter how special Yeon Jeung’s defense is, it cannot withstand the attacks of dozens or hundreds of Demons.

‘Okay.’

Soon, Soo Hyuk decided as he looked at the wall.

‘Let’s go by surprise this time.’

It was then.

*Ding*

Soo Hyuk raised his head reflexively at the sound he heard in his ear. Yeon Jeung had already worn his shield and was blocking them both.

ραndαsΝοvεl ƈοm “Soo Hyuk, the Demons have noticed.”

At the end of Yeon Jeung words, Soo Hyuk looked over the fortress wall. Demons were seen holding bows.

“What are you going to do?”

“Let’s drill a hole. Holy Shield.”

Soo Hyuk cast a protective shield while answering.

*Swoosh* *Swoosh*

A shield appeared around Yeon Jeung as well. Yeon Jeung then put down his shield and drove the wagon to the wall.

*Swoosh* *Swoosh* *Swoosh*

As they approached the wall, many arrows rained on them. Of course, they were all blocked by the shield.

“This should be enough.”

At Soo Hyuk’s words, Yeon Jeung stopped the wagon.

“Fire Spear, FireBall, Poison Spear.”

He saved the AOE spells for when he started facing the Demons. He used spells with lower destruction power but with a much shorter cooldown against the wall.

*Bang* *Bang* *Bang*

The spells started exploding on the walls. Soo Hyuk saw a green magic circle that appeared on the walls when the spells landed on it. It was the magic defense magic circle.

The magic defense circle doesn’t always block all magic. Magic circles also have durability.

But one thing was certain: it would take longer than expected to destroy the wall.

‘Should I just use Hell Fire?’

Soo Hyuk was worried about it.

‘It is unlikely that a boss-level monster will appear immediately.’

Higher level Demons will not appear from the beginning. No, even if they appear, there are only one or two. And they can be caught without Hell Fire.

“Hell Fire.”

After thinking about it, Soo Hyuk cast Hell Fire.

*Shiiiing*

Hell Fire appeared, and the magic circle emitted a tremendous amount of light.

*Bam*

Soon the magic circle was destroyed.

Then the Hell fire began to melt the wall. Shortly thereafter, there was a hole in the wall.

“Yeon Jeung!”

Seeing the hole, Soo Hyuk shouted. Yeon Jeung then quickly drove the wagon through the hole at Soo Hyuk’s shout.

The moment they entered the castle wall.

[Quest ‘Alin’ has been created.]

A quest was created.
