An urgent request from the Adventure Guild’s Hateyama branch.
The task is to defeat a horde of monsters that are trying to flow out of Hateyama and into the surrounding area. The adventurer’s guilds in each town are asking for as many high-ranking adventurers as possible to join the party.
But the adventurers, who often left early in the morning for their missions, are not in town. Therefore, the guild staff had to ask the adventurers, who normally would be enjoying their vacation, to join the party. Because of this, it is difficult to get more adventurers to join the party.
The request is made in the morning, but the time has passed and it is almost noon.
”Third wave, here it comes!”
The are participating in the battle on the south area of Hateyama, where the Hateyama branch is located. A group of monsters had already descended from Hateyama twice and attacked the Hateyama branch, and it’s been difficult to keep one’s guard up. But with Renka watching from the sky with , it had been a clear advantage to have spotted the monsters ahead of time.
”A mixed force of goblins and wolves! There are quite a few of them, so be careful!”
”Roger! Open the gate! We’re going to fight them!”
Hearing Renka’s report, four of the Hateyama staff teams begin to move. One of the parties that had headed north to Hateyama early in the morning had never returned to the Hateyama branch, and some of them had been injured in the two attacks, so only four parties could go out now. With the addition of the , a total of five parties and twenty members are facing the horde of monsters.
Alvin and the others, stationed outside the guild, wait for the monsters to attack them without charging out. This is because the fastest of the demons, the , will jump in before they reach the guild. Although the monsters do not have the wisdom to keep pace with each other, but they can run through the earth on instinct.
As Alvin and the others watched, they saw the huge body of a wolf. It’s a large wolf, nearly three meters long. Its hair is dense and hard, and its fangs and claws are sharp. Most frightening of all is its agility, approaching and charging at a speed unthinkable for such a huge body. Those who could not react to its speed would be torn down and their throats would be ripped out.
”Freri, let’s do it! ”
Shinji uses Freri’s full magic power to cast the spell over a wider area than usual. Soon the ground is muddy, and the Wolves are trapped as they attempt to leap. The Wolves, who cannot leap properly, are bombarded with arrows, magic, and magic blades from a distance, turning them into corpses.
However, the Wolves are not left unharmed. Using the corpses of their dead comrades as footholds, the following Wolves leap across the swamp. And now the battle becomes a melee.
”Aaaaaaaaaagh!”
”Gwah! Ah, my leg...!?”
Shinji quickly created a wall of earth in the line of sight of the gate. Not only Shinji, but other wizards’ magic also prevented the fireball. However, the goblin mage has begun to cast the next fireball. If the wizards focus on blocking the goblin’s magic, the support for the vanguard who try to break through will be weakened. Thus, while the vanguard is unable to move forward, the next fireball appears...
”One, two! Oryaaaaaa!!”
”Guggah!?”
However, the goblin, who was holding up a staff, is suddenly hit by a flying log, and the heavy log crushes the goblin mage. Not only that, but a shower of arrows rained down, causing the goblin mages’ magic to be interrupted.
”Sorry to keep you waiting! The reinforcements have arrived!”
””Uoooooooooo!””
Emily, with her red cloak fluttering in the wind, stood on top of the gate and shouted loudly. When the gates open, adventurers from and other towns shout out. This time, the goblins are disturbed by the unexpected event.
”Now! All at once!”
Alvin’s command increases the momentum of the adventurers. From that point on, the tide suddenly turns in the adventurers’ favor. The goblin hordes are helplessly annihilated by the adventurers who attacked at full force.
Thus, the Hateyama branch succeeds in temporarily recovering.
The defensive battle begins.
And here comes Emily.
It’s been quite a while since they fought together!
Let’s move on with the story.
