39. Mission Type Defense (4)
Aaron gaped.
“What is that!”
“Is this your first time seeing it?”
but. It’s my first time actually seeing it.
I scratched the shield with my sword. There was a sharp sound of metal rubbing.
“Don’t be scared, everyone! That pig has a brain and a heart. If you poke it, it will die.”
“Better than hundreds of goblins!”
ping!
Instantly, Jenna fired an arrow.
The arrow that was fired while spinning deeply pierced the ogre’s lower abdomen.
“Kuaa!”
The ogre spat and roared and walked away as if nothing had happened. With every step he took, he dug a mound of dirt. Jenna scratched her cheek and laughed.
“Isn’t it? Are goblins better?”
“If you kill me, you’ll know.”
I looked back.
All three seem nervous, but show no signs of fear.
If so, good. If you do your part, you can clear enough.
“Attention! Divide roles. Iolka, you spread a wall of flame near the dam.”
“A wall of fire?”
“We’re not going to let the goblins get close until reinforcements come.”
“I can, but what about that monster?”
“I’ll take care of that pig. Aaron, you protect Iolka. Jenna, you see the situation and help either me or Aaron. You decide.”
“yes.”
“all right!”
“To the power position.”
Iolka ran to the riverside facing the bank and started casting.
Quickly, Aaron followed and removed the bolt flying towards Iolka.
Jenna, who plays the middle bridge, is watching the situation while feeding arrows to the protest.
I picked up a stone from the riverside and threw it at the ogre’s face.
The ogre frowned in displeasure and approached me.
I drew the sword from its scabbard and put on my shield.
“Quoooooooo!”
With a scream, the ogre struck down the sledgehammer.
Roll your feet lightly to dodge. The destructive power of the sledgehammer sent piles of dirt and mud flying high into the sky.
‘If I get hit by one, I’ll go to the goal.’
A shield is also useful only when its power is appropriate to a certain extent.
Digging through the mud, I dodged the swinging sledgehammer by jumping backwards.
ping!
Zena’s second arrow pierced the deltoid muscle of the ogre’s right shoulder.
“Kiaaa!”
Goblins began to flock to the dam.
【Ignite!】
Roaring!
Flames ran across the river and between the goblins. The goblins hesitated in front of the wall of flame. Without missing it, Aaron’s spear pierced the goblin’s head.
Iolka continues to chant the spell with her eyes closed.
It’s not about shooting fire, it’s about sustaining it. Even in the pouring rain, the flames did not lose their momentum and burned fiercely.
The ogre retrieved the sledgehammer and shook his shoulder.
The arrow stuck in the muscle gap came out smoothly. Jenna, who was preparing the third arrow, cursed.
“It’s like a muscle monster.”
“If it’s not a vital point, it won’t work. Don’t waste your arrows.”
“Where is the vital point?”
“You’ll have to decide for yourself!”
I rolled forward like a plunge. The sledgehammer hit the spot where I was and smashed it to pieces. He immediately stood up and swung his long sword. Blood streaks flew from the ogre’s right arm.
The ogre swung the sledgehammer aside, not caring. dodged
‘It’s hard to cut deeply if you don’t get the right posture.’
I glanced to the side.
Although Aaron is working hard, he cannot guarantee how long he will be able to protect Iolka. The goblins who grasped the situation were changing their pattern from a melee attack to a long-range attack. They fired bolts and those without crossbows threw stones. Even one hit by Iolka, whether it’s a bolt or a stone, would upset the balance.
“What is that guy!”
Iolka hastily stopped the cast and ran to the side.
The ogre ran toward the dam, ignoring all the goblins, rocks, and fire.
‘late.’
“Come down.”
Jenna did a somersault and fell off the ogre.
The ogre that had broken through the river crashed into the middle of the dam. shit. With a crackling sound, a large hole was opened in the dam and the water flowed out.
“...”
The water level of the river began to rise.
It was only then that the sound of horses hooves turning over the ground echoed from the seventh floor.
“Kyaro!”
I thrust my sword into the goblin’s mouth. The blade pierced the tongue and came out the back of the neck.
this guy is the last one The ogre that had completed its mission was pushed away by the current of the river and disappeared somewhere. I muttered as I kicked the fallen corpse.
“You failed.”
“Then...”
“Let’s go back. It’s time to make the second plan.”
Do you have a second plan?
I simply shook my head.
Without reinforcements, 370 people would have to stop more than 3,000 goblins.
I gritted my teeth. I missed work because of an unimaginable madman. But I can’t sit still here. With or without it, you have to find a way. I retrieved the shield and hung it on my back.
The sound of the horses’ hooves grew louder, but the river was rapidly expanding.
not in time I barely swallowed the sigh that was trying to come out of my throat. said Iolka.
“Wait.”
“What.”
【Draste Syradus.】
Iolka’s eyes flashed blue.
A rock beside the river was lifted up in a flash.
【Move!】
Following Iolka’s gesture, the rock rose into the air and crashed into the crack in the dam.
The water that had been pouring through the hole quickly cleared. Iolka ran a hand through her wet hair and laughed.
“Hey, you...”
“Psychokinesis is the foundation of magic. Heh, didn’t you know that?”
“If you have anything like that, tell me quickly!”
“A mission that would have failed without me...!”
Iolka stumbled and tried to fall.
Aaron ran quickly and helped him.
“Thank you. You have manners. Unlike anyone else. I... kiak!”
I pulled Iolka’s cheek.
“Who told you to hide your powers, huh? I’m sure they told you to use all the magic you know how to do.”
“You’re a mabuby, so maha hi-yo is going to be something!”
“it’s okay.”
When I let go of my cheeks, Iolka glared at me with tears in her eyes.
“Anyway, thanks to you, I survived. Thank you for that. Everyone maintenance. Drink the potion.”
After moving to the shade of the last tree, we rearranged ourselves.
I brushed the mud off my clothes and drank the potion. Iolka was more tired than she could have imagined, and her complexion was drawn. He tried to vomit several times while drinking the magic potion.
“I wish it would stop raining.”
Jenna said as she squeezed the hem of her dress.
Water poured out of the hem.
The sound of horses’ hooves was right in front of them.
A cavalryman on horseback in the lead waved a red flag with a lion on it.
Hundreds of horsemen then stormed out of the woods. Plate armor covering the entire body. A healthy horse does not slow down while running through mud.
“All forward! Show the majesty of the iron cavalry!”
“Captain, the river...”
“What do you know? Cross!”
“yes! All of them crossed!”
The riders started to lean into the river.
Even the strong river could not stop the cavalry from running.
