Episode 377 Disaster (3)
“Heo Eok...”
When Aira’s hand fell off her back, the mana pressure disappeared as if it had never happened.
I heard that it was a magic tool created by God, but it was surprising that it had the courage to contain this much mana.
If the magic circle that made up the altar had been sloppy, even a little, this temple would have disappeared without a trace due to the mana storm.
Serien approached him as he stopped the blood flowing from his nose.
“Are you pretty good? I am Serien.”
“It’s Ray.”
“Originally, it was reluctant to bring a human to the altar, but I wouldn’t be in a position to hide in a situation where help is needed. Whether you like it or not, please take good care of me in the future.”
He smiles slightly with a pretty direct greeting.
His appearance was easygoing and unpretentious, and he was a person who was liked by anyone who saw him.
Ray shook hands.
“I’m asking you to take good care of me.”
“We will have to stay here until we come up with a suitable solution for the altar. Take care of things like bathing and eating in order.”
“In that sense, I have something to say right away.”
At his words, Serien tilted her head.
“If you are going to rest, will I rest first?”
“I’m not saying I’m going to rest first. I would like you to share information about the altar.”
“...information?”
“To be precise, it is information about the flow of mana. If you know, it would be nice to have a blueprint for a magic circle.”
“...you’re talking nonsense. In the past, it was also a magic tool made during the Heavenly Demon War. Besides, God created it, so there can be no such thing as blueprints, right?”
As she spoke, she touched her chin with her index finger.
“But...yes. If it’s about the flow of mana, we can tell you what we’ve felt so far. But how do you know that?”
Rey, who was rummaging through her luggage and took out a faded parchment and a pen, responded while briskly moving.
“I have to fix it.”
Place the parchment on what could be a table and draw something.
“Are you saying you want to fix the altar? you?”
“There are three of us here, so why fix only me? We have to fix it together.”
“To fix the altar, I need at least a small blueprint. No, even if there is a blueprint, it is unknown whether it will succeed. Let’s keep quiet here until the other high elves come to help...”
Serien’s words were interrupted by Ray.
“Wait for that, do you know what else will happen? This time, dozens of monsters lying there can come out. Maybe a monster stronger than that will come out.”
Without hesitation, he draws the pen without hesitation.
“I can’t waste my time at the altar forever. You have to do what you can do while you can.”
Serien kept his mouth shut.
Certainly, it would be difficult if monsters like that continued to pour out.
If his concentration was broken even for a moment, the efforts he had put into the altar could be in vain.
“I decide. Are we just wasting our time here, or are we going to figure it out on our own?”
The expression on his face as he said that was hidden by his robe, but the sincerity felt in his words reached Serien.
The person in front of me was talking.
Let’s fix the altar by ourselves and return the dimensional pillar to its original state.
Let’s save those who are in danger without knowing why.
Serien hesitated for a while before speaking.
“It is not something we have to decide on our own. If even a small mistake occurred in the process...”
“It will be a great event that will go down in history. I can’t help it though. It’s better than doing nothing and ending it. It has to be changed into something that moves and moves. ‘we.”
“...”
she shut up.
Then Aira, who was pouring mana at the altar, groaned as if she had something to say.
“It is an invasion! The Small Kingdom Alliance is targeting us this time!”
“Gather all who can bear arms to the plaza! I won’t let anyone run away!”
As many as 7,000 people were forcibly dragged out according to the convocation order issued by the lord himself.
It was an unbelievable number to have gathered in less than thirty minutes.
what would you do then?
Because there was no preparation in advance, there was no weaponry to give to everyone.
Thanks to this, the people were driven to the battlefield without even wearing armor.
It’s heartbreaking, but those who didn’t know how to fight had no choice but to use it to drain the enemy’s strength.
The lord forced them to stand at the front.
Of course, the backlash was strong.
It’s not enough to suddenly appear on the battlefield, so I order you to go out and die, but who will silently obey?
The people held their weapons and pointed them at the knights.
“Don’t be ridiculous!”
“Is the royal family planning to use us as a shield after all?”
“Be quiet! It’s the lord’s order! All who dare to disobey will be summarily executed as an example!”
“Don’t be tyrannical, you bastard!”
One of the people was furious and swung his sword.
old sword.
It had enough teeth to make me wonder if it could cut through anything.
As much as that, the situation in the kingdom was not good.
The knight quickly cut off the people’s throats.
“Aagh!”
A knight drenched in the blood of the people raised his sword above his head.
His complexion was cold.
It even looked sad at first glance.
“Those who resist even the slightest will be considered to be plotting treason and will be promptly disposed of. If you have any objections, come out immediately, you guys!”
When he shouted with mana in his voice, the people who were suppressed by the momentum hesitated and retreated.
“One way or another, you die! then! At least if you’re destined to die! Be remembered as a hero who died while defending his homeland!”
“Stop the bullshit! What you guys want from us isn’t just a dog’s death! Are we really that funny that we are trying to deceive you with swanky words even up to this moment!”
I’m sorry-!
“Do not think that we will ever yield to you!”
I’m sorry-!
With every word spoken, a slaughter took place.
One voice contained the resentment of the people, and one sword stroke contained the resentment of the knights.
By the time there was no resistance whatsoever.
The soldiers of the Small Kingdom Alliance arrived near the wall.
The allied forces, flying red flags and showing fierce momentum like thousands of horses, seemed like watching the Lesian Imperial Army.
People’s complexions turned blue.
“Fighting with those guys... I’m out of my mind...
”
Far from encouraging them, the knights pushed them further.
“Forward! Grab your spear and run! Everything you see in front of you is your enemy, so it remains like a mountain to be cut down!”
“Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu...!”
I don’t want to be trampled on by the horseshoe, so I have to step forward.
He went to the battlefield wearing light armor with leather padding.
They looked at the allies with eyes full of fear.
The morale of the army was already at its worst.
