Lesson 7: The Wolf Crusade in the Woods - Part One

Party walking in the direction indicated by Mr. Lishua.

Mr. Blades and Mr. Gilderts were right behind Mr. Gray with his shield in the lead. Alert the surroundings in the middle where Mr. Nathan can see the whole thing, and Mr. Marianne is ready to shoot the magic at any time.

Talk to Mr. Lishua next door looking out from the rearmost.

"Is this your formation?"

"That's right. When men are avant-garde and strong enemies appear, defeat them with Marianne's magic."

"What is Mr. Lishua doing?

"Me? I'm not much use in battle because it's my role to prepare various items for a party, am I? So I guess the main thing is luggage, just like you."

Both me and Mr. Lishua were carrying a rucksack.

There is no distinction between men and women in adventurers. If even women can contribute to the battle as luggage carriers, they also carry luggage.

"Oh, there he is."

Mr. Grey, who walks in the lead, raises his voice.

At the end of that gaze were five Forest Wolfoo gray haired, wolf-like demons eating grass.

"So, what do we do?

"For now, the number of encounters is five. You can do what you always do."

"Ooh."

Forest Wolf also noticed our presence by speaking while Mr. Gray was consulting with Mr. Blaze.

Leadership Forest Wolf among the five has given instructions for the other four. With that in mind, two of them rush out first and set up a ramp on the lead Mr. Gray.

"Hmm, it's warm!

It is inhibited by the shield erected by the progression.

Mr. Blades and Mr. Gilderts were stabbing their weapons against two stopped Forest Wolves, respectively. When the sword and Hulbert are pulled out, Forest Wolf falls while bleeding.

Still, for the leader Forest Wolf, two Forest Wolves were flying toward the two people who jumped out of the shield if they were within the assumption.

But one blows his head off by Mr. Nathan's bullet and falls to the ground.

"Windvalet"

Another falls, blown away by an attack that compressed Mr. Marianne's magical wind like a bullet.

Aohhhhhhhh...

Leadership Forest Wolf barks.

"Shut up."

But the roar is interrupted by the attack of Mr. Gray, who progresses with his shield standing, crushed by a shield bash.

"It's not like this."

"What do you say, you're amazing"

Mr. Gray and Mr. Blaze came with a doya face.

No, it's actually amazing. When I was fighting in the village, even a few adults had difficulty defeating one Forest Wolf.

That's what everyone can take down in one blow.

Is this the difference between the powerful and the without?

"Should I help you too?"

"No, you just have to watch when it comes to combat. You can't just peel off the material in a situation where the herd is still there, so these guys peel off later. I'm going to get some help from you then, so keep your strength warm."

"Okay."

I also tried stripping demons I defeated as adventurers, but it was harder than I expected. Sometimes it knocks down the herd and needs to be stripped off nearly a hundred. You should be ready.

"Well, I'm not going to put it through the back, but I wonder if it would help if you could handle it yourself when it's in danger"

"Yes."

"Well, we're leaving"

"Over there."

Mr. Lishua uses magic tools (magic items) to determine the location of the herd and then continues in the woods in the same formation.

"Forest Wolf was barking at the end earlier, what was that?

Not my educator, but Mr. Lishua, who was nearby and shabby, tells me a lot.

"Oh, that...... I guess I was telling the other herds that they had a strong opponent like us in their territory...... hey!?

"What's up!?

Mr. Blaze looks back, frowning at the voice raised at the rearmost.

"I had some herd reactions, and that's where we're gathering. Yeah, not only that, but there's a reaction coming up here fast."

"What!?

Normally impossible Forest Wolf behavior.

Forest Wolf usually makes herds in small numbers, as earlier. Sometimes the herds gathered together, sometimes in larger numbers, but the command of the herds was to be exercised by their respective bosses.

Nonetheless, all flocks gather in one place and are unified.

"I thought this was... a simple request, but it could be tough"

Mr. Blaze's gaze sharpens and stares into the back of the forest.

Everyone's gaze was sharper as if to signal it.

"What do you mean, this?

"There are a hundred Forest Wolves that would otherwise only be a few. At first, we thought more than one swarm flowing from somewhere had just settled in… Apparently, a demon stronger than Forest Wolf had led more than one swarm to this point."

All the leaders who are supposed to be the strongest of the demonic flock are following someone.

When that happens, it is natural to assume that there is something completely different that Forest Wolf follows, rather than the strongest demon in Forest Wolf.

Here he comes.

The first action of the enemy was to set up a rampage in the same swarm we had just encountered. But that number was as high as ten, and I could take it with Mr. Gray's shield even if three or four of them were attacked at a time. But you can't take everything if not ten of them are attacked at a time.

But he doesn't look like he was in a hurry with Mr. Blaze and Mr. Gilderts right behind him.

"Great Shield!

At the moment when Forest Wolf approached his sight, the magic burst with Mr. Gray's voice, something like a giant shield of light appeared, and the three Forest Wolves who were about to strike Mr. Gray were also collectively taking Forest Wolves, who were about to strike Mr. Blaze behind them through its side.

"Hmm."

It was blowing the Forest Wolves, who were also receiving shields of light when Gray pushed his shield out forcefully.

The blown and fallen Forest Wolves had Mr. Blades and Mr. Gilderts stabbing a stop. Some of them, though blown away, suffered without falling, Forest Wolf, but had been pierced in the heart by Mr. Nathan's bullet.

"Hey, what do we do?

Mr. Nathan was on guard everywhere as he stood his gun.

"This could be a little uneven"

I could tell.

The last ten Forest Wolves attacked are yang. The rest of the Forest Wolves were to be besieged while the Yang Dynamic Forest Wolves were fighting.

However, the siege has not yet been completed because Mr. Gray's shield was more powerful than imagined.

"Can't you defend all directions with the shield of light just now or something!?

"I'm sorry. The skill I just used for Nong will no longer be available for an hour once I use it. Yeah, the only skill I can deploy is the front of the shield, which is a lot of drawbacks. So we can't have omnidirectional defense, and we can't use it right away."

"Right... let's go in the direction of defeating the enemies that have been attacking us as we retreat here. Don't just imitate being surrounded by mistakes."

"… Copy"

While Mr. Blaze and Mr. Gilderts hold the hall, other members will prepare their way out.

I see. Are you assuming different occasions, or have you ever had similar occasions?

"Hey, wait... looks like the boss is coming out of the front"

"Chip, it depends on the guy you're directing, even if you deal with it while you're on the run"

Enemies approaching with loud footsteps.

However, that appearance was a bit different from what I had imagined.

I imagined a powerful wolf because he is the one who dominates Forest Wolf, who looks like a wolf. No, it's a wolf, indeed. That's the power of standing on two legs, like a human, three meters tall - if you're not having a giant body...

"Warwolf!?

It was a demon I had never seen, but a giant bipedaling wolf demon - beside Warwolf, Forest Wolf refrained from protecting the boss, and it was obvious that the Forest Wolf herd was led by Warwolf.

"Chip, you can't deal with Wolff while you're dealing with Forest Wolf. Lishua!"

"Yes, sir."

Mr. Lishua takes out a fist-sized stone-like object from the bag. Throw it straight towards Wolff, and the moment it hits Wolff, an awesome shock wave is emitted from the stone.

I see, he's like an alchemist with all kinds of tools.

Come on, let's go.

Now I try to return to the path I came in the form of being led by Mr. Lishua.

"Gu......!

"" Gray!?

If I saw who was in the lead, Warwolf attacked me and Mr. Gray was taking it with his shield.

Don't worry about Non.

In the meantime, Forest Wolf emerges from the left and right bushes from the next.

"Totally, nasty..."

Other members than Mr. Gray were beginning to deal with the impending Forest Wolf from left to right.

Escape had also begun to become more difficult in a state already surrounded by disconnected paths other than the rear.
