Expected date and time of behemoth arrival.
The people preparing for Behemoth's proximity in the finished fort were on their respective fields, expressing their tension and fear on their faces.
As a member of the Magic Bow Squad, I was also conscious of the view ahead of the valley on the roof of the fort.
In the immediate vicinity, there are six magic crossbows lined up, which are maintained by about five people per unit, and piles the size of my height are loaded onto the crossbow.
Reefa is waiting for him under the fort with Chisato, and a peek from the roof reveals Reefa and Chisato waving at him who noticed this way.
I wave my hands back gently at nothing.
"---Friendly with the brave......"
'After all, it seems so...'
"Triangle…"
And I act without thinking and go even more misguided around.
Maybe I'm a jerk?
Aware of that, Sif accidentally jumped on my shoulder as I was alert to the attack of Moss on Behe.
"That's quiet."
"Yeah......"
The perimeter of the fort is unusually quiet.
The sounds of birds and animals should have been ringing before, but now that has stopped perfectly.
Is that a precursor to the arrival of a giant beast?
If you have a vague, unpleasant feeling, someone will come closer to me.
"Kai, your place was this way."
"Arca?"
Arka, a girl who was nearby adjusting and assembling crossbows.
You finished assembling the crossbow, and you spoke to me as I removed the black and dirty gloves.
"Before the fight, how are you feeling?"
"I guess it feels like a first. What about you?"
"Me? I'm so nervous in action I'm not used to. Anyway, I'm bronze. I don't specialize in this kind of stuff because I usually make requests for technical stuff."
Ha ha, and the look on her face, laughing brightly, is somewhere.
I guess it's also true that it's an unfamiliar battle in action.
I also respond to her Nori.
"That's an odd encounter. I'm bronze, too."
"... what? No, no, that's a lie, right?"
"It's true. I'm an adventurer in the kingdom of Hendil, a new adventurer for about three months."
Thinking like other HRs that it must be pretty strange to be objective, Arka and - and then the fellow Magic Bow Squad people around me are looking at me with a surprise look.
Maybe the people who were watching me get rid of my first day of demons.
"... Shh? Younger than that? How old are you?"
"Seventeen..."
"Oh, he's three years younger than me..."
"Oh, excuse me. It was my mouth as much as I wanted..."
"Fine, fine. It's easier for me to keep my tone up."
I thought she was about the same age or younger because she had a slight young impression.
"But if it's true that you're a bronze... is the Kingdom of Hendil a demon or something? When I saw the battle yesterday, I felt like silver one step ahead of gold."
"No, I... rather than me, because me and my partner had the Golden Adventurer seniors watch the training. I feel like I have a little arm."
"Hendill's golden adventurer. Hey. I hear there are a lot of insane people out there unlike this one..."
Insanity... well, it's not wrong.
I guess the gold adventurer's standards vary from kingdom to kingdom?
"Do you know about the golden adventurers who are here?"
"Hmm, shall I tell you?"
Nodding to Arca, she looks around, pointing her finger.
The direction in which I pointed my finger - there is a man with three spears in his hand in the magic bow unit located next to where we are.
"That's Gail over there, the adventurer who specializes in water-based demons."
Then he peers under the fort and points in the direction where Chisato and the others are.
Right next to her, a laid-back blonde puts her hands on the ground and does something.
Somehow, it doesn't even look like something green is stretching from where the person's hand is located.
"A sister Aura out near the brave uses rare magic that manipulates plants, Mr. Alfira. So... oh, here I am, in the Stone Drop Squad upstairs, a childish person who uses Zehra, the type of magic that strengthens the flesh, and he has such a good voice."
Whatever your voice is, three gold adventurers?
Don't really make Rick and the others feel anything close...
It could be something quite special, based on the system you have. I don't hear much about botanicals or the Kingdom of Hendil.
"Now we're all here."
"Thank you. Bye."
At that time I tried to thank Arca, something like a big smoke rises with the roar in a hiding place in the mountains ahead of the valley.
"--- Wow, wow!"
With it comes the roar of a very large organism and the sound of destroying something.
Behemoth arrived at the first fort.
With that, the bell set up in the fort rings, and everyone on the spot goes on to prepare for battle.
"Come on, we're here... we'll have to do it when we get here! If it's dangerous, we'll run! Don't do that to me, too!"
"Oh!"
After dropping off Arca heading for the crossbow, I turn to the end of the valley where the sand smoke rises.
It would be great if we could accomplish our purpose in the first fortress -
"Command! Breaking through Behemoth's first fort!! It appears that the Demon King's Army will carry out raids with soldiers besides Behemoth!! Repeat!! Behemoth-"
Isn't there such a sweet story?
Besides, are the soldiers of this Demon King's Army coming too?
Although I recognized on my own that the demons were to be treated as soldiers based on my previous perceptions... if they were to have a high intelligence, the story would be different.
"Schiff, physical strengthening. Lime, deformed to bow"
When the lime in the water bottle on my hip jumps into my hand, it deforms into a silver bow.
Begin with your fingers to get used to the strings, but be alert to the approaching of the behemoth with a more acute feeling of physical strengthening.
The distance from the first fort to the second fort is not that far.
If Behemoth's footsteps are fast, he should show up soon.
……
An unpleasant silence ensues with the arrows gently connected.
"Wow, wow!!"
Clashing against the rocky foundations of the valley, what emerged was a beast big enough to bewilder.
At the earliest, it emits an unthinkable giant body from an existing creature and an overwhelming presence, which has enormous fangs and a long nose.
Swinging them had caused so much destruction that it could be described as a disaster.
"That's the giant beast! Nature's Violence to Live the Old!! Those who bring harmony naturally!! If you haven't been rampant, I would very much like to observe it - that one is in a terrible state of panic!!"
"Then even more so, we can't let him go to the kingdom of Filgen!"
Position the bow and set your aim.
The opponent is a monster who lives a legend.
Reckless is also a mighty opponent of a good place to reckless, but we have to stop him here. A lot of people are going to lose their homes - their homeland.
