I take out six scrolls.
This is going to take a bit of time.
Earlier when I switched Eve into General Mode, I had to infuse it with magic elements through a backdoor. That’s why I supplied it with magic elements directly while recovering with potions.
But now I’m adding another trick to that.
“I hope it goes well…”
I walk over to the barrel filled with potion I placed behind me, and then I take out a red stone the size of a fist.
It’s a magic item I made from Rihalzam’s magic stone.
“Potion rabbits?”
“Nicely spotted Roa. Part of the magic circuit inside is the same as the potion rabbit’s magic item.”
I say to Roa, after she whispered with the glitter of magic elements in her eye. But just as I start getting into my explanation, I hear Taula.
“Rust, the bamboo shoot army is being pushed back.”
After Kalin and the others break through the left wing, the bamboo shoot infantry follows Eve’s commands and pushes into the merman army from three sides.
But even after suffering all that damage, the mermen start pushing back the battle line little by little. Bamboo shoots win by overwhelming with numbers, but the mermen are overpowering them and taking them down.
As individuals, mermen are much stronger than the bamboo shoots. Well, just hold on a little longer…
But as I’m surveying the battlefield, something else happens.
The First Seat of Delusion moves, and the sound of bodies smashing against each other echoes again.
“Master Rust, enemy reinforcements. Mermen, and… Are those sea urchins?”
Of course, there are still enemies in the sea.
“The Admiral army is also being pursued from the sea.”
Those strong Lesser Hipopo are near the water, and they kick around the new mermen soldiers emerging from it.
The soldiers riding them also swing their weapons and dispatch them.
“Admiral army, swing left. Sea urchins is attacking from the back!”
And as if matching what Roa is saying, giant sea urchins rolls out from the sea.
Eve is tirelessly swinging its commanding staff, and changing the formation of the bamboo shoot army. The infantry bamboo shoots are replaced by bamboo shoots covered in bamboo armor in the front line, which are also holding shields made of several bamboo overlapped on top of each other.
“Bamboo shield?”
“…That’s what I named them, Roa.”
“You’re too simple, Master Rust.”
I smile awkwardly, and the bamboo shields make contact with the sea urchins. Those sea urchins are faster than Lesser Hipopo and twice the size of a person, so they produce quite an impact.
Bamboo shields are blown back one after the other, but some sea urchins are pushed down by a few bamboo shields at the same time.
The sea urchins that make it past the bamboo shields overrun the bamboo army, and one makes its way towards the Admiral army.
