A Legion Grows From My Smartphone - A Legion Grows on My Phone - Episode 100
Episode 100 – Evolution, not corruption (8)
“Pull back until it restarts. Now, I will end this war. I will capture Menas even now.”
Eve, with her eyes sparkling, commanded the legionnaires flying towards the front in one breath from the throne in the center of the nest.
Meanwhile, the higher-ranking species were quickly escaping the scene after retrieving the body of Rayna, who had collapsed after being hit with the Killing Knife.
A barrage of magic fired by the wizards to chase them away rained down, but the higher-ranking species, which blocked them by resonating the barrier, succeeded in escaping the scene with ease.
Eve paid no attention to them now. In any case, Reina can be revived by putting her soul back into her body and connecting with her hive consciousness.
For Eve, the hive mind of the Legion, this miraculous and ridiculous process was nothing more than moving a part of her body.
At the same time, the massive hive consciousness was activated once again. Numerous legionnaires were rushing toward Menas, shaking the earth.
‘Wipe it away all at once.’
The plan was the same as before. Mobilizing all military power to wipe out the entire area.
Eve knew that Menas was the core and center of human power, the ruling species of this world, and she knew very well that humans were unable to move quickly compared to her.
Moreover, Menas has already lost his defense function and is in a state of extreme confusion.
If such a place were to be blown up, humans would not be able to properly gather and would be wiped out.
‘3 million medium-sized flying species capable of high-speed flight.’
The first troops to be mobilized as an advance force toward Menas were the flying squad, numbering 3 million.
The overall shape is based on an insect, resembling a wasp the size of a bull.
Its entire body was covered with a hard and light shell, and its two pairs of wings allowed it to fly faster.
Its main weapon is a long, sharp poisonous needle that is like a spear to humans. All six legs had sharp claws like birds of prey.
‘Keep them out of their minds.’
Eve, smiling, gave the order to attack as Menas slowly began to come into view.
There was only one goal: to unite them and prevent them from even properly resisting.
“Everyone..! Everyone evacuate!”
“They are birds!”
Menas, which had no good weather, naturally fell into chaos.
The monsters flying in, turning the sky pitch black, flocked to this place in the middle of the night under a bright full moon, even before the previous damage had been repaired.
“Now I have to admit it. They are an army. Not a pack of beasts, but an army with a clear purpose, type of unit, and tactics!”
“Reactivate the defense wall immediately! Evacuate those who have not yet been evacuated as soon as possible!”
The wizards quickly responded. It was exactly the reaction Eve wanted.
If we had just scattered and run away without looking back, there might have been a way out. However, since they promised themselves that they would fight against the endless influx of people, all that was left was to die in a cruel fight.
The numerous magic howitzer shells they fired throughout the city cut through the dark air and hit the flock of flying bells.
The flying species controlled by Eve moved nimbly as one body to minimize damage.
In the first place, they were not equipped with fire nets and had no intention of being hit by such a disorderly attack.
“…Roses. Are you ready?”
“Yes, that’s right. But did the player really use the killing power?”
“Unfortunately. But you never know. There are many gaps in the right to kill.”
Dark, who was indifferently watching the scene from the rooftop of the parliament building that was half destroyed by Rayna’s bombardment, nodded to Roses, who approached him with a tone of cold anger.
Rose, who returned after being away for a while, swallowed dry saliva.
I was dissatisfied with Darc’s strange and coercive orders, but in the current situation, it was a miracle that there was any way to do it.
“What on earth are you trying to do with them?! They’re just ordinary idiots with no power!”
“Don’t talk nonsense. Although they may have no power, they have hot blood to sacrifice for us.”
Darc turned away from the battlefield.
Rose, who was embarrassed, called him, but he just said a word and left the place.
“This is not the time for me.”
Rose, who had been watching the scene blankly, was momentarily shocked and hurriedly headed to a place other than the battlefield.
Because the most important thing to me was my own life.
“…”
After parting ways with Rose, Darc walked in silence.
A large-scale attack that attacked the entire city.
The western part of the city they attacked has already turned into a battlefield. Because the population was so large, evacuation was not easy.
The evacuation procession of citizens fleeing like crazy was concentrated towards the east.
There was a large training hall where people gathered.
About 1,000 people, regardless of age and gender, gathered together by Roses, who lied and said that he would open the gate and allow them to escape.
They were anxious and waiting to leave this place.
[There was a moment of noise as the player was greatly embarrassed by the enemy’s offensive]
[First, amplify your magic power. Open the gate according to your plan and end the fight between the monsters.]
As he walked along the road in a daze, letters flickered before his eyes as he headed towards the training ground.
It was an instruction given by someone who had granted him quite useful power.
“I will.”
Dark muttered absentmindedly, listening to the screams and shouts around him.
His players weren’t really that good. In his own words, he boasted that he was the princess of the clan and that he would become the leader of the clan in the future.
Even to the still young Darc, the player seemed young and immature.
But clearly the power was real. Darc believed that the only way to overcome this situation was by combining the player’s power with his own.
A gold cup sent as a ‘gift’. And by drinking the blood contained within, Darc inherited the player’s powers and escaped from the human body.
Thanks to that, I now know very well what that power is.
“Uh, Chairman?! Oh my god.”
“The Chairman is here!”
The people who were waiting in the training hall, trembling with anxiety, cheered when Darc appeared alone.
If a high-ranking person can show up in person, they will not be abandoned.
And above all, trust in Darc, who was young and capable, was high from the beginning.
‘This…this is for a greater cause. It’s something that can’t be helped.’
The moment I saw those people. His eyes, which had been cold and icy for so long, wavered for the first time.
It was a completely different situation from the time when those designated as a unit were slaughtered, even children.
It was natural. They are their own adversaries. But the people in front of him now were citizens who believed in him and followed him.
‘I am not corrupted. This is right…’
Gritting his teeth, he pulled out something from inside. It’s a kind of hole. This too was a gift.
The effect is to use blood as a sacrifice and replace the power contained within it with magical power.
Darc activated a magic towards the citizens who were wondering what he was doing.
That magic was blood magic, a magic that did not exist in this world.
Dark blood-red magic emanated from his body as he lowered his head.

“A mysterious power, is there really a secret secret hidden all the way to the end?”
While Darc went to the training ground, Eve, who was leading the legionnaires, smiled faintly.
The massacre continues. It was bursting with magic from the wizards, but it was only a handful.
Wizards who had been practicing magic for more than several decades were being pierced and snatched to death by medium-sized flying legionnaires that took less than a day to create.
[The strength of enemy units suddenly increased]
“I need to catch it and analyze it.”
Of course, the opponent did not take it easy either. There were units that entered the battlefield earlier.
They belonged to the same side as Dark, and their appearance clearly resembled local humans. I used a sword and used magic.
‘But the taste of blood was completely different.’
They showed quite extraordinary movement and quite effective combat against the legionnaires.
One enemy unit that appeared to be a knight was captured.
Three legionnaires nearby pierced his chest, neck, and legs from front and back with poisonous needles at once, but he swung his sword and cut down the legionaries as if he knew no pain or was not worried about death.
“I can feel the thick shape all over the blood. It’s interesting.”
Eve naturally became greedy for something new: their power.
[…attempted kidnapping, but he escaped]
“All magic has disappeared from the dead body. So make sure to capture it.”
The problem is that their power becomes stronger from a certain point in time.
Through it, Eve confirmed that they were connected to each other in some way. I tried to capture them, but there was a limit to just the regular flying species that had no form.
“…It’s not going to be easy.”
Eve saw the blood-red magic exploding on the other side of the city and sensed the advance team’s defeat.
From the vortex of magical power, which was like a violent storm, a figure was seen flying through the air with silver hair fluttering.
He cast a spell. It was red and heavy magic, like thick blood.
The flash of light that exploded annihilated thousands of legionaries filling the air at once.
It was definitely not the magic of this world that Eve knew.
‘Is it possible to speak? ‘Is that its greatest power?’
Eve changed her goal at that moment. His priority was to invest all his strength into finding out his opponent’s strength.
All flying species stopped their actions at once and flew towards Dark.
He once again raised his magic power and unleashed a huge burst of power.
“Oh, hurry up and assist the Chairman!”
“Unite. We can see the way!”
Those who had fallen into endless despair gained hope and gathered around him.
Although they were astonished by the immense magic that went beyond common sense, they banded together and continued to resist Dark.
