Price of Management

The fight, which I thought was smooth, has been raging since the moment the gate was destroyed by the wagon.

“Damn it! Those bastards! ”

I've been busy riding my butt.

You quickly set up a wall of dirt and blocked the breached gate. It was a sturdy, earthy wall that wasn't easily smashed even by an unmanned Expert. Soldiers can't break through the wall of dirt, so they bounce back and forth.

This time, however, the Black Cross rebels moved while riding horses on the wall and chasing me.

I came down from the wall and ran to break the wall of dirt.

It's a very hard wall of clay, but the Black Cross won't last much longer if it attacks.

Due to the limited durability, the walls of the ground collapse if you leave them alone, and the soldiers will come rushing in like ants.

You think I'm gonna let you do this?

“Wounded!”

- Okay, Dad.

Woundee casts the Water Sphere. Fifty spears of water were made in the sky.

“Go!”

I shouted, pointing to the Black Cross.

The Spear of Water has fallen in unison!

“Incoming! Look out! ”

“Stop him!"

Not even the Black Cross retreated, but confronted the error. It was a wise choice to face them head-on without avoiding them. Water Sphere is not falling in a straight line, but it is the answer because avoiding it can lead you to an enemy you are avoiding.

Kwakwakwakwakwakwa ―

Cough! Cough! Boom!

Instead of sparks, the blizzard was like a rainstorm. The earth is drenched with the water of the exploded water sphere.

“Great! Woundee, keep attacking! ”

- Yeah!

Another 50 water spheres have been created to attack the Black Cross.

The relentless violence forced the Black Cross to stand still and face the waterfall.

At this rate, we'll be fighting all the Black Cross. Of course, it was impossible to conquer the Black Cross by myself.

Then why are you wasting your spiritual affinity?

Of course I have an idea.

There's a trick I learned in combat when I was practicing mysticism. It wasn't just an attack, it was a siege for the next one. A precise and intelligent way of fighting, calculating the next number and the next.

With a simple attack, the Earth Sphere or Fire Sphere will be much more physically powerful than the Water Sphere. But there's a reason for all of our attacks on the water sphere.

The more violent the water sphere is, the more the Black Cross moves, the more the earth becomes wet and muddy.

This is it.

Next thing I know,

I kept pouring out the water spheres, stealing the Black Cross's gaze, and secretly playing tricks with gnomes. The gnome turns the mud into a swamp.

The swamp grows deeper.

The Black Cross, which was distracted by trying to stop the water spheres, didn't notice that their horses were slowly falling into the swamp from their hooves.

“What? Now, wait! The ground...! ”

Someone noticed.

I quickly sent a large amount of spiritual affinity to Noum.

Then the swamp whimpered as if it were alive for a moment and grabbed and pulled the horses on the Black Cross.

“Hee-hee-hee! ”

“Hee-hee-hee!”

Surprised horses rush out of the swamp to escape. However, it was impossible to pull the foot out of the swamp controlled by gnome, and the horrified horses' struggle became worse.

“Damn it!”

“Another trick! ”

“I'm going to lose my horse! ”

The Black Cross was greatly embarrassed.

You can give up the horse and get out of the swamp, but if you lose the horse, you will lose your manpower and have more difficulties. However, this does not mean that the swamp can be eliminated by the power of an orb. I was forcing them to abandon their words.

I'm not afraid of the unspoken Black Cross. This will help Duke Meutt withdraw his army.

We can't just fall into the swamp and die with the horses, so the decision of the Black Cross was made.

“Leave the horse and get out! ”

The Black Cross jumped on the horse's back with all its might. The reactions plunge the horse deeper into the swamp. The screams of the horses spread even more as they were abandoned by the owner. Poor words. What's wrong with animals? Rest assured.

The swamp devoured all the horses.

My attack wasn't over there.

Not only the following numbers, but also the next number should be in mind. I didn't just use this much Spirit Affinity to steal a horse.

I was going to exterminate the Black Cross.

“Noum, now! ”

- Yeah!

Norm scoops the ground with a shovel. Dozens of dirt splashed from the ground. The chunks of dirt all turned into large palms. It was Ersshand.

Dozens of Earth hands leap off their horses and attack the Black Cross, leaping out of the swamp.

The Black Cross was frightened and wielded its weapon, but its actions were not free because it leapt from the air.

I continued to make the Earth Hand and pushed the Black Cross into the swamp.

He pushed back frantically and was greatly embarrassed by the Black Cross. Because if two legs are tied up in a swamp, the fight will be far more disadvantageous.

“Don't push it! ”

“Fight! Don't fall into the swamp! ”

“You wicked bastard! ”

I attacked the Black Cross with all my might, not just the Earth Hand, but the Water Sphere. In the end, the Black Cross Satan got caught up in my tricks and dipped his feet in the swamp.

“Grrrgh!"

“Damn it!”

“It's stuck! ”

It's working!

I cheered with a fierce fist. The Black Cross has fallen into the swamp!

The Black Cross was no longer my enemy because of its stumbling into the swamp.

Of course, their error attacks are still powerful, but I can control the swamps and bury them all in the ground instead of frontal assault.

While frontal force confrontations are disadvantageous, aesthetics are incredibly versatile. That's why I was able to face the Black Cross alone.

“That place is your tomb. I'll build you a gravestone! ”

“Shut up!”

“Caroc ligand! Don't be so mean. Fight bravely! ”

The obsessed Black Cross forces continue to sink into the swamp. As I sank past my ankle and knee to my waist, I was pale with the glow of the Black Cross.

But at that moment, I felt a sense of intelligence everywhere. Damn it! It was the wizards.

While I was fighting the Black Cross, the wizards came to the top of the wall with flying magic. The wizards in the northeast, southwest, west, west, west, west, west, west, west, west, west, west, west, west, west, west, west, west, west, west.

“There's nowhere to run, Caroc Ligand! ”

“Save the Black Cross! ”

“Spirit-bound magic! ”

In the appearance of the helper, the Black Cross Satan became the face of death, while I had to make a poop chew face. Even if you drop your nose in the rice, it's still oil!

Wizards used spiritual restraints on all sides of the northeast and southwest. When the rope of magical power flew over the sky like a net, I was also in a hurry.

“Guys, whip! ”

- Yeah!

- Copy that!

Water whips and fire whips were made in both hands. I slashed the ropes of magical power with a whip.

* * * 12644; * * *! * * 12644; * *!

“Keep pushing! ”

“Here's your chance! ”

“Don't let this pass! ”

The wizards continued to attack me with spirit restraint magic.

Shit, we can't do this.

Like the Black Cross, I have too many wizards to deal with alone.

“I can't. Unfortunately, let's give up the Black Cross. ”

I've made every effort to escape the encampments of the Wizards.

First, Wundine clears the swamp of any excess water.

The wet swamp is no longer a swamp.

The swamp becomes as hard as solid ground after the rain. The Black Cross Satan, buried deep in his heart, did not budge once the swamp hardened.

And then the next number,

“Salamander!”

- Hehe! Hot present!

The Salamander laughed viciously and threw a huge ball of fire over the head of the Black Cross that had been half buried. It was a hot gift, literally.
