Volume 2 - CH 222

A loud sound is approaching.

I’ve never heard a sound like that before.

The earth rumbling seemed to go on forever, and the fine tremors were transmitted to the legs of the adventurers who were slumped against the fortress walls.

Even without seeing it, we could tell that it was still far away, and that it was still a small sound.

Time is running out.

It’s been an hour since then …….

I have looked everywhere for the crystal, but it is nowhere to be found.

Partly because I haven’t fully searched for it, but also because I can’t spend all my magic power just to look for it. ……

I have to face reality.

“No, aren’t there too many of them ……?”

The monsters had come bypassing the trees, so there was not much damage to the forest itself.

But because of that, we misjudged the situation.

The monsters that have broken through the forest straight into the Kingdom of Salettana have come out onto the plains to reveal themselves.

This is certainly enough to describe a tsunami.

And yet …… there are too many of them.

The number of those who said [forty-five thousand] was ridiculous.

This isn’t even close!

No, I can’t accurately measure the number either!

But even a novice eye can see this!

It’s definitely more than 45.000!!

The adventurers are pale at the sight of it.

No wonder.

No one would stand up to a sight like this. ……

However, they can’t run away now, so they have no choice but to do it!

“Don’t be frightened! Do what you have to do! Otherwise, you won’t be able to win!

” However, Ouren-san! This is outrageous!”

“No matter how crazy it is, we’ve got to do it! Get a grip, adventurers!”

They’re half desperate.

They’re scared to death.

Do you think I can manage to deal with this many of them?

No matter how blessed they are with their skills, this is still scary. ……

You know what they are, right?

They’re all going to attack humans, right?

If we don’t stop them here, the damage is sure to be enormous, and it’s easy to imagine.

Eh, wait, I’m getting really anxious. ……

“Get the catapults ready!”

“I’m on it!”

“Bring more and more mana potions! This isn’t enough!”

“I’ll go get them!”

It seems like we’re all getting desperate now. ……

Hahahahaha.

I just learned for the first time that I’m not good at making the act. ……

“Ouren-kun!”

“Oh, hey. Maria, huh ……”

“You’ve got to get your head on straight! You’re our only hope right now!”

“Ow, don’t slap me on the back, ……. I mean, there are people more dependable than me. ……”

“Please!”

Maria then went to the nearest adventurer and patted them on the back.

She then said the exact same thing she had said to me, and ran to another adventurer.

What a rude person.

Well, if an ordinary adventurer gets a pep talk from the guildmaster, the adventurer will be in good shape, I guess.

Maybe it’s her way of boosting morale. ……

……Hoen has been taking all the credit here.

I mean, Houen is insane, isn’t he?

He’s got a huge credibility level.

I don’t think I could go that far.

“Okay, well, let’s just do as much as I can ……. !”

If we don’t do this, we’re going to die!

[Chorus magic! Earth Doll!]

As I was getting into it on my own, I heard a voice from outside.

I looked over and saw that there were soldiers of dirt emerging from the ground.

They don’t look very strong, but they are disposable vanguard troops.

It’s great magic if you think about it as a reinforcement.

But …….

It seems that they are very worn out. ……

The wizard is gulping down the mana potion as soon as they activate it, and their breath quickens.

How can they drink something like that without hesitation? ……

That magic seems to be activated by ten people.

The appearance is probably that of a knight.

All of them are carrying stone swords.

However, because of the intense wear and tear, there are numerous of them.

There are roughly two hundred of them. ……?

One of the wizards, who had restored his magic with a mana potion, raised his staff and swung it down toward the monsters.

Then, the knights made of dirt slid on the ground and headed toward the monsters.

The speed was faster than a horse-drawn carriage.

“Hee- It is a very useful magic. It would be appreciated by adventurers with specialized skills in magic who can’t fight close combat. ……”

“…… The water emperor Ouren, was it? But that’s magic that can only be used with chorus magic.”

“It’s a bunch of junk, then.”

I don’t want ten magicians in a party.

This is the kind of magic that can only be used at times like this. ……

I haven’t seen chorus magic in a long time.

The one I saw was just for moving cliffs, but I guess you can do something like this too, depending on how you use it.

I was looking at the dirt knight, and I noticed a glowing red object flying above them.

That must be Houen.

The defense battle is about to begin.

“Alright, …….  Here we go, adventurers ……. I’ll do my best too, so please do your best. ……! [Reamed Water Spear!]”

I’m going to start with this one and see how it goes!

I’ll leave the big skills for now, since there’s Houen in the front!

The Reamed Water Spear has a lot of flexibility!

And it’s not as difficult to operate as the water spear volley!

After all, there are only two of them.

I can guarantee the sharpness!

GOOOO!! MY SPEAAAARS!!!!
