The Branded Female Fencer
The Hall of Return (Instead), Part 26 - Evolving Pawn
"Nah..."
"Enemy!"
At the same time as Lunatica's words, the walls grew back and forth, from which a large number of hekatonkails emerged. Lisa didn't notice the approaching of Hecaton Cale and the others because the walls were part of the bond.
"Little trick... I didn't know you were going to fool this Lisa!
"Lord Lisa! I'll take care of you."
As the Hair Aristotle came to escort Lisa, Renatica saw him who had unleashed an earlier arrow. If you look at it, this time again, he was a one-time big opponent dressed in larger armor, unlike any other Hecaton Kale. Aristotle also realizes its existence.
"Another different form... how many enemies are there?
"Trouble. Crush in turn from the enemies you see!
Lunatica flied out like she could have played, but the enemy flicked over its body all the same and disappeared from the regurgitation. Lunatica kicks the wall that disappears with all her might, but the wall is not even frightening.
"Knock."
"I'll do it... have you slowly peeled that fang"
"It will be a war of attrition as it is. We have to do something."
But Aristotle's troubles were all the same, and I couldn't think of a way to open them. And they go into battle undeniably.
Doom watched the Aristotle struggle from afar. Next to it is Osiria, and Maneater. In addition, beside it are three hekatonkails of flexion. The whole thing wore a larger helmet, the whole thing carried a spear, and the whole thing had an iron ball.
A larger Hecaton Kale with bows and arrows returns there.
"Welcome back. Let's say good luck"
"... oh."
Surprisingly, Hekatonkail responded to Doom's inquiry. No, no one on the spot was surprised, but this would have surprised the Arnelians if they had heard. Doom and I were surprised at first.
But Hekatonkale and the others, naturally, are somewhat neat to discuss, but have a conversation.
"You took it off... you're out of shape."
"... sorry"
"Fair enough... now I've got a purpose over there. Some two units can push them. I don't have much fighting power."
"Dude, that silver-haired girl would be so strong, wouldn't she?
Doom breaks into conversation. To the bold conversation between the puppets, it may be true that they are no longer patient. But the talking Hekatonkails did not take Doom's concerns seriously.
"Strong indeed. But there's as much to do."
"Yes, alternating in two units, for example, stopping and carefully separating enemies"
"In numbers, this one prevails. You just have to wait for them to get exhausted."
"Plus, if you sacrifice a unit, there's a battle for everything. Because we have no fear of death."
"I see... this is definitely strong."
Doom saw four tenacious warriors with an indescribable look. Sure, it's a reliable pawn, and I'm also surprised at Anomaly for developing so much stuff, but on the contrary, I thought Lisa and Jake would die here for more than they could have imagined.
Still, there was wonder and certainty in Doom. That Lisa and Jake can't die here. There's a strange sense of trust in those two. Besides,
"(If I'm going to die here, maybe I won't even have to play. But if you can, you can break through this difficulty...?
In retrospect, Doom decided to let the captains of Hekatonkail do whatever they wanted.
"The wear and tear!?
"One injured, but I'll make him recover soon!
"Hurry, the next one is coming!
Belliache continued his struggle. How many raids should I have left now? She fought desperately with the rest of them, but gradually the soldiers fell hurt in constant enemy raids. How many minutes have we been fighting through? Instead, it's probably a miracle that it's done with about five shedding so far.
And a strange came to them exhausted. As we were preparing for the next raid, our people began to fall asleep without a scratch.
"You guys, don't go to sleep! Why go to sleep!?
"Nem... I"
"Stupid, if you sleep in here... let's"
Belliache also suddenly became dizzy by the drowsiness that struck him. Sure, my body is tired. But I'm not going to be so peaceful as to sleep here. Unlike when resting at night, strange comfort is forced to direct you to sleep. Belliache instinctively guessed that this sleep would never be calm.
"Ma'am, first... gibberish!?
A sudden and severe pain pierced Belliache's entire body, which fell asleep. If you look, there was an impulse standing behind her, her hand hitting Belliache's back.
"I'm sorry. They let me flush the electric shock."
"Yes, that hurts! But I appreciate it."
"Thank you later. Things are weird."
Most of those around them are already asleep. Impulse looked at them all the way around and went to her to wake up Emerald first.
And after a slightly adorable scream, Emerald wakes up rubbing her eyes.
"Nemo ~"
"That's bad, but I'll just get you to work a little bit. Can you sing the waking spell?
"Yeah, I can do that."
Emerald sings songs to awaken people's consciousness. Everyone's consciousness was drawn back from the sleep of darkness to that spirit, which was shed on a singing voice like a fresh stream. The soldier who was awake is amazed.
"Oh, my God."
"Sounds like you managed to get it. But this song also has limits to pulling back their natural sleep. If we don't think of measures soon, we can all fall asleep as we say."
"I know. You can't just not take a day off, and say that within a day it would be a battle. If we can't do that, we need to think about retreating."
"I hope we can retreat. My experience is that 'Castle' doesn't easily miss someone who let them in once. When you retreat, when you defeat the Lord, or in a body bag."
Leaving Berriache reacting with a sinister face, the impulse stretched a brief lightning junction around him. If the enemy breaks in, it'll be like stopping. In the meantime, the knights were still waking up an unconscious companion.
Impulse was a little impressed as he watched the knights keep quietly doing what needed to be done. Highly skilled soldiers so far have not remembered much in the past. Impulse can think how well they are all trained. But no matter how well they are trained, they don't make much sense in the 'castle'. In impulse experience, no matter how you send in a trained soldier if you can't see through the properties of the junction, it only adds more victims.
And Belliache, too, the same thought. Before coming to this hall, Belliache had succeeded in meeting the only survivor said to be. The man had already become a youth, but his appearance was as old as he was going to die tomorrow, telling the story of how spectacular an experience he had. Asking the mayor of the town protecting the man, the boy was already looking like this when he was discovered. They're living like crazy as it is, drooling of covetousness.
The Rafferties tried to extract some information from a young man like the old man. But in any way the youth could not hear anything. The only thing I found out was that the youth had not slept once since they were discovered.
One of the monks guessed that he was afraid to sleep, but there was nothing to back it up. But now I know. I'm sure Belliache could have imagined what it would be like to sleep in this hall.
"(The enemy is probably a kind of dreamer. It is only when you sleep that you will show off your opponent's main command. Even without enemies, this sleep does not bring rest. We must defeat the 'Castle' Lord as soon as possible)"
Belliache was revamping his determination to continue his quest as he awakened the remaining knights.
