I Became an Academy Mechanic Genius

Chapter 207

207 – Ready

The appearance of the Frost Orcs.

It instantly turned the situation around.

So far, it has been nothing more than a barrage of virtually unintelligent creature-type monsters.

A large Orc unit with human-level intelligence conducts a strategic siege.

“There is no need to panic! Spread large-scale, wide-area magic as you have done so far! Destroy the siege machine first!”

Frost Orcs attack defensive walls using various siege weapons.

However, the commanders stationed throughout the defensive walls calmly ordered them to respond with wide-area magic.

Accordingly, the magicians around the amplifier cast magic spells and aimed at the siege weapons, collectively firing magic in a wide area containing tremendous firepower.

“Al-kal-kadum!”

But the Frost Orc Shaman countered with their ‘sorcery’.

A spell circle with the devil’s words was formed in the Orc camp, creating a large-scale protective shield.

“Hey, that’s it!”

And as soon as Elena saw the spell cast by the orc shaman, she could tell that it was related to ‘ancient magic.’

Frost Orcs, who were dismissed as mere monsters, now use spells that are higher than those used by humans.

All of this is because the Frost Orcs have been ruled by Lilith for a long time.

-Boom! Quagwagwagwang! Bang!

Because of this, it was natural that large-scale, wide-area magic fired from the friendly camp would be blocked.

No matter how much it was strengthened with an amplifier, it could not penetrate the protective shield created by ancient techniques.

-Whoop! Huh! Huh! Huh!

In the meantime, numerous bullets were fired from the enemy’s siege aircraft.

The young bullets, full of the energy of corruption, began hitting various parts of the defensive wall, and the thick energy of corruption that burst out from the bullets flowed down the walls in a sticky manner.

And the energy of corruption flowing down the smooth slope of the defensive wall…

-Chieeek······.

The defensive wall was melting like ice cream.

The ‘corruption attribute’, a mixture of the devil’s magic and ancient magic, is exerting its power.

The 2nd Corps commander in the command room shouted.

“Damn it! If things continue like this, it’s only a matter of time before it breaks through! “We have to destroy those siege weapons, even if it means sending ground troops!”

However, the commander of the 4th Corps of the same rank dissuaded this.

“You are going to send ground troops to where that large army is? “It’s suicidal!”

Just as he said, there are hundreds of thousands of Frost Orc troops lurking outside.

Sending ground troops seemed difficult.

“Then you want me to just suck my fingers like this? Even the wide-area magic we fire is blocked! Because of that damn shield!”

But as the 2nd Corps Commander said, it was impossible to remain still.

This is because it is obvious that if the defense shield is breached, it will be an all-out war.

“I will step forward.”

At that time, Elena stepped forward.

Her corps commanders, who were raising their voices and asserting their opinions, all turned their heads to look at her.

Elena said.

“With my power, I should be able to break through the shield and hit the siege weapon. Because I can use ancient techniques… But that doesn’t mean it can solve every situation. It’s impossible for me to destroy hundreds of siege weapons by myself. So, we will have to come up with measures while we have time.”

The corps commanders nodded.

I promised Elena that I would come up with a solution somehow if it would buy me time.

“Okay then.”

With that, Elena stormed out of her command room and headed to the amplifier.

Every time she took her steps, many of her magicians recognized her and bowed their heads in respect.

But she didn’t care, she passed them all and stood next to the amplifier.

Feeling the mana receptors spread throughout her body, her available mana capacity was raised to the extreme.

Mana conversion is done to maximize power.

-Whoop!

After completing her warm-up, Elena stretched her hand forward and grasped it.

At the same time, cracks began to appear in the defense shield created by several Orc shamans working together.

Her overwhelming telekinetic power dents her protective shield.

-Click! Crackle! Phut!

Soon, the protective shield could not withstand the pressure of telekinesis and shattered.

Elena immediately struck a direct hit on the defenseless siege weapon and destroyed it.

In an instant, 12 siege engines were destroyed.

“As expected, Elena…!”

“Yes! There is no way that humanity’s greatest fortress could be breached this easily!”

As the siege weapons were destroyed one after another, the morale of the soldiers began to boil.

The soldiers, who were fearful of being hit by a corrosive bullet and melting their entire bodies, began to return to their positions.

‘Too many…’

However, contrary to the soldiers’ expectations that she would destroy all of her siege weapons, Elena’s situation was not so good.

This is because she uses up her telekinesis from such a distance, so it consumes a lot of mana.

Of course, she had the same amount of mana as the ocean, but there were too many shields to destroy.

It is also a protective shield that cannot be destroyed with normal magic.

-Pajik! Kwasik! Kwazijijik!

But there was nothing we could do.

Until the empire’s corps commanders come up with a sharp move, we have no choice but to reduce siege weapons as much as possible.

Even if you were unable to fight due to ‘mana exhaustion’, you had no choice but to continue destroying siege weapons.

“Grand Wizard!”

How much time has passed?

When she was close to mana exhaustion due to extreme mana consumption, a soldier rushed towards Elena.

They then announced that they had decided to carry out an operation to deploy ground troops and that they could take a break.

‘Injecting ground troops? ‘A place full of frost orcs like that?’

However, it was too risky to be an operation that had been considered for a long time.

Elena immediately returned to her command room and asked for details of the operation.

Eventually, Elena, who heard the details of the operation, was able to nod her head.

‘Hit and run using scalpel teleportation… Not bad.’

While Elena was biding her time, the corps commanders came up with a plan.

It is a Gerala battle using the ‘teleportation expert’ possessed within the corps.

In other words, it was an operation to set coordinates inside the enemy’s shield, conduct a large-scale teleportation, and then quickly destroy only the siege weapons and escape.

“But it’s not like there’s no risk at all. “If the teleporter dies, there is no way to return.”

“···Shouldn’t we take that level of risk?”

“······.”

A high-risk operation with no return possible if the teleporter dies.

But I had no choice but to take the plunge.

There is no breakthrough other than this operation.

Elena said, looking back at her corps commanders.

“Then please. “I need to recharge by concocting mana for a while.”

“Yes. You worked hard to destroy so many siege weapons by yourself. But before that, there is something I need to get permission from Elena.”

“···? “What is it?”

“···It’s no different, Elena, didn’t you come here on behalf of the Academy? Please authorize the deployment of S-class cadets to ensure the success of the operation.”

“······.”

Elena’s expression hardened.

Academy S-class cadets are the future of the empire and valuable talents that cannot be replaced by anything.

I couldn’t deploy them in an operation that could cost me my life if I made a mistake.

“No. “Those children are not yet formal soldiers and have almost no combat experience.”

“···But it is true that it is an outstanding power. In the first place, academy cadets take classes with the goal of becoming officers, right? I believe that the first class of cadets who have completed all first-year courses will have sufficient knowledge of tactics and the command system.”

“···Still, it’s impossible. Simply knowing knowledge and applying it appropriately are two different things. Sending unfinished children to the battlefield—”

“Then, Elena. Look here.”

But at that moment, the corps commander intercepted Elena’s words and pointed to her giant screen.

The huge screen, divided into dozens of screens, showed images of cadets active in each battlefield.

The corps commander said.

“There are not many soldiers in my corps with that level of power. “Their military power and situational judgment skills are already officer-level or higher.”

“······.”

“Elena, please give permission. We need their talent and strength. Every single piece of talent is needed to increase the success rate of the operation even a little. Or do you only value the lives of those children, Elena, and not the lives of our soldiers?”

······Elena quietly closed her eyes.

She calmly calmed her mind and organized her thoughts.

Suddenly, what Ed said came to mind.

‘···The whole world will be overrun with demons within the next year. At that time, we will live in a world where screams are more common than laughter. .···We must be thoroughly prepared.’

Ed predicted the invasion of the devil and warned that the whole world would become a battlefield.

Ed said it was inevitable that it would happen.

And now.

Graham Estate is being invaded by an army of millions of demons.

Things like this will become common in the future.

“···I give permission.”

So Elena approved the request of the corps commanders.

If the world is going to be in chaos within a year anyway, we need to raise our children to be that strong.

It was not possible to just protect it inside a fence forever.

“Thank you. Then, we will incorporate academy cadets into this operation and form a unit. “Please bring all academy cadets from the battlefield.”

***

The unit formation has been completed.

Academy cadets were appropriately assigned by analyzing each role and power.

As a result, Enya and Isabella joined the ‘Alpha’ unit.

Lucas and Claire join the ‘Bravo’ unit.

In addition, two S-class cadets each were deployed to various units such as ‘Charlie’, ‘Delta’, ‘Echo’, ‘Foxtrot’, ‘Golf’, ‘Hotel’, and ‘India’.

Because the number of siege weapons is so large, the units are divided into dozens and a guerrilla war is waged.

“Operation begins. Teleporters of each unit must teleport to the designated operational area.”

So, a small elite unit consisting of about 30 people began to teleport to their respective locations.

In an instant, our elite troops were summoned into the orc shaman’s shield.

“Give priority to the destruction of siege weapons! However, protect the teleporter first!”

When each unit was summoned around the siege weapon, the people in charge of each unit began to give orders.

The soldiers moved in perfect order and began to perform their respective roles.

-Quaaang! Bang! Kwazijic!

And they, composed of the best, performed their role perfectly.

After quickly destroying only the siege weapon, it returned to the scalpel teleport.

“There are still a lot of siege weapons! “Keep repeating!”

However, even though Elena has reduced the number, the enemy force is in the millions.

The number of siege weapons they possessed was large.

I had no choice but to repeatedly use the scalpel teleport and push my body into it.

【Those rats are destroying our weapons.】

Meanwhile, ‘Kroll’, the commander-in-chief of the Frost Orc tribe, was angry as he watched the imperial army’s guerrilla warfare.

I am angry that I am helpless while the precious siege weapons that Lilith gave me are being destroyed.

Kroll then called his SS.

The most powerful among the Frost Orcs, and those who had completed complete demonization, were called in and given orders.

【That human shaman is the problem. That human shaman protected in the center of the formation. Take that man’s life. Bind the feet of those rats so they can’t escape.】

【【Chwiik! Under!】】

The Frost Orc elite unit that received orders from Krall laid an ambush near the siege weapon.

The moment the scalpel teleportation is cast, they immediately rush into the imperial army and try to eliminate the scalpel teleporter.

-Pot! Pababat! Parbat!

And finally the moment came.

The moment their guerrilla troops are teleported near the siege toilet.

The frost orc troops rushed at the scalpel teleporter before the enemies even formed a camp.

The sharp ax cut through the air and dug into the teleporter’s neck.
