Episode 526: Siege (2)

Slatan grabs the dagger with both hands firmly and puts his strength into his legs.

Tan!!

As the slatan kicked the ground, a stream of wind ran through the meadow where the morning sun began to shine.

After all, sura-tan is fast. No, it's faster than ever.

From the time I left the farmers, Surakitan fought with a lot of speed. Try not to use as much energy as possible.

I can only fight in a fiercely depleted way, and I can't use a lot of magic either. In that case, we need to determine where to use our health. Surakutan thought so and waited for the timing.

Za, za, za, za, za, za, za, za, za!

"" "" "" "Guaaaa!" "" ""

When I thought that Surakutan ran out, the bandits in front of me were chopped down one by one.

Push in with your shields! Don't let them get rampage!

Suraitan is rampaging on our side more than the shields. Apparently, those who are standing outside the shields are playing a role like a cage.

It's just a feeling, but I think there's a gap between those inside and those fighting outside the shields.

The gear is the same... not to say loyalty to Tempest, but I feel that those close to the wall are actively trying to get involved in Tempest.

Will you be promised a place in Tempest, apart from the prize money you'll get for defeating us?

The people who fought so far had the impression that they were the first bandits, and the organization was second to third, but the people in front of them seemed a little different. I don't know if it's for Tempest, Barabanta, or status or power, but... I don't think it's easy to run away.

Whatever it is, their purpose is unacceptable, and the conclusion that we will fight will remain unchanged.

Suratan! Use it!

The magic Heine shouted and activated was Walllock.

It's just a magic that creates walls, but with a high-speed slatan, you can launch faster high-mobile warfare.

I won't let you disturb Master Suratan!

"" "" Huh?! "" "

Grrrr! Grrrr! Grrrr!

In addition to that, I activated Piltee's intermediate Dark Magic, Black Caesar. In Dark Magic, you can prune the opponent with a magic that has excellent attack power. However, Pilate was not targeting the people around Surakthan, he was targeting the shields. As they say, I'm trying to keep Surakutan out of the way by hitting the shield soldiers with the black scythe and keeping them out of the way.

If you are moving around at the speed of the slatan, it is likely that a small change in the environment will have a significant impact on the movement. For example, if an attacking magic like Black Ceasefire is moving around near the moving Slatan, it will be in the way.

Thinking that if he activated magic too close, Piltee would be in the way of Slatan. He tried to control the attacker who was trying to reach from the side so as not to restrict Slatan's movement.

However, I couldn't slice the Shield Soldier with my medium magic, the Black Cyclone. The plain is already filled with sunlight, and dark magic is well visible. If you hold your shield firmly, it won't be so hard to take that blow. Besides, the number of opponents was so large that I didn't want to count them, so there was no sign of stopping with a single shot of intermediate magic. Good thing I was just delayed for a few seconds. However, even so, with a few seconds, Surakutan has the speed to travel back and forth, so it would be better as a cover.

It's just... like Heine said, I really don't like it.

If it was a fragmented group like the one before, it wasn't so terrifying, to be honest. Even if we were to work together, it would not exceed the range of a few people, and it would be like gathering a few parties.

But they're not here. It is still cluttered, but the overall cooperation is balanced.

If they tell me to go forward, everyone will go forward, and if they tell me to stop, everyone will stop. The people behind the shields are not bandits, they're the first in the army.

If many guards and mercenaries were enrolled, such education would be possible, and I knew from the beginning that it was not impossible, but I wanted to avoid fighting them if possible. If the vast majority of our march is coordinated, it will no longer be just a matter of numbers.

Shit! Zugagh!

Shit!

Every time we try to draw a magic circle, arrows and magic alternate behind the shields. We don't shoot in vain, and there's an accurate attack coming from the area we have to defend against. Because it was too much trouble, I couldn't do it all at once with advanced magic.

"Sura-tan! Get back!" Me and Nil are coming forward! "

If magic can be used, Heine and Pilte, the rear guard, will be able to do so. Even with Suraitan's bodyguard, I thought it would be difficult to draw an intermediate magic circle, but it was too dangerous to abandon the magical means of attack now. I want to reach the wall somehow using magic. In order to do that, we need a night role to protect Heine and Pilate.

Tan!

Surakitan listens to me and comes back calmly.

"I thought I'd break through all at once, but I'm more protective than I thought."

It looks like Surakutan's health is still okay, but now that you've crossed the wall, let's keep it down a little bit.

"Ugh..."

"Guuu..."

Many of those in front of the shields have fallen and are stuck because of Surakitan's rampage. However, there are still many enemies, and if the hole is blocked, it will go back to swinging. This is the right place for me and Nil to make a breakthrough.

Nil!

Yes!

In response to my call, Nil runs away.

As I draw the magic circle, I continue to follow Nil's running back.

"Release the arrow!"

Bibu, Bibu, Bibu, Bibu!

Unlike the threatening shooting earlier, it was a serious arrow-face attack.

”Haaaaaaa!!”

Boom!

I wave my sword at the arrow and fly my divine power.

Pucker-pucker-packer!

Nil and I will blow off the arrows that will come down and temporarily stop our feet. If we don't avoid the arrows, we can't move on. If Heine and I use defensive magic now, that amount of attack magic won't come. Now is not the time to defend, but to attack. We should defend ourselves and let Heine focus on the attack. Heine herself was being targeted by the people and magic forces around her, and that was all she could do. I just want to thank you for the support you gave me.

Ideally, Nil and I should get through this.

Za, za, za, za, za, za!

Knock, knock, knock!

Most of the arrows that came down to Nil and me were knocked down by the divine force slashing, but not all of them, so I slashed down some with my sword.

I'm going!

When the rain of arrows stopped, Nil ran out again.

There are still dozens of meters of enemy shields.

Next to the arrows, magic should come.

"Nil! Stop!"

In less than a few meters, the magic circle starts to glow from behind the front shield.

I'll run and activate the magic I've prepared.

Zugagh!

The stone wall appeared in front of me. I used intermediate earth magic, Wall Rock.

I used it earlier as a scaffolding for the slats, but this time I used it as a shield. However, since it is only intermediate magic, I can't overconfide it.

Probably brown in colour. I couldn't say for sure because the outside was getting brighter and the light was getting harder, but... soil magic was supposed to come.

If I could make time to draw advanced magic, I could use the white shield of light magic to forcefully play magic, but instead of shooting big magic together, the opponent would shoot magic below intermediate magic. When I did, I had to do something with magic below intermediate level.

When I fought like this, I knew the opponents were different.

Until now, they were trying to take us down with a focus on firepower, but these guys know how to make up for it with numbers.

In short... if we use advanced magic, we'll need a lot of time, and in the meantime we'll be free to move. However, by using intermediate magic and arrows alternately, the attack could be continued almost without gaps. Moreover, because of the large number, considering the amount of magic flying at once, even if it was originally a single attack magic, it would be good to call it the earliest range magic.

Of course, we have to use magic to defend it. However, since the opponent was spinning Intermediate Magic, I had no choice but to use Intermediate Magic to deal with it. Unlike Advanced Magic, Intermediate Magic often has a difference in power as it is.

Magic is compatible, and if you fight well, you may be able to handle it. However, currently, because there are magic soldiers behind the shields, it is difficult to read the magic circle and deal with them. If I could see the magic circle that I was drawing, I could hit the magic that matched well, but if I didn't see it, I had to do something with predictions.

Under such circumstances, Earth Magic is the magic with the largest mass of all attributes, and its properties as a substance are the darkest. You can expect some effect on all other attribute magic. That's why I used Earth Magic to create the Defense Wall.

However, the opponent could easily predict what I would do, so they were using earth magic with a similarly large mass to physically destroy the defensive wall.

For each Walllock, the opponent released an intermediate Earth Magic, the Rock Spear. One or two is a magic that can be prevented by wall locks, but if it turns out to be dozens, the story will change.

This is the number of violence.

It is something that we can never imitate with a small number of us, and it is also something that cannot be easily stopped.

Even if you attacked from us, the maximum effect of the attack that was released between the opponent's attacks was probably the limit. In terms of the number of victims, there were about ten people. If I understood that wizards were the liver of firepower, the people around them would go into defense, and even if I could sharpen a wizard or two. Of the dozens of magic shots flying, one or two were reduced, and it could be said that it had little effect on the overall attack.

I think you can fully understand how troublesome the difference in numbers is in battle.

Zuga ga ga ga ga ga ga!

Flying Rockspear hits the Walllock standing in front of us, and you can hear it shattering one by one. With the same intermediate magic bumps, the number of opponents was overwhelmingly higher. That way, you won't have to wait until the Walllocks can't stand it anymore.

It's falling apart!

“I'll take it!”

I could see the crack in the wall lock from the back as it was about to collapse. When Nil saw it, she stood in front of me and put up a shield.

Bagoo!

At last, the stone wall was destroyed and fragments fell on our side. At the time it was discovered that it would collapse, it was a short distance from the wall, so the fragments would not hit us, but the late-exposed Rockspear flew in with me and Nil.

Hah!

Grrrr! Grrr!

Nil used her shield well to divert the Rockspear that was flying in, but there were too many of them.

Oh, my God!

"Huh?!"

One of the late-acting Rockspears flew over Nil's chest.

”Haa!!”

Grrrr!

Even if Nil had to deal with it alone, I knew it would be hard to disable everything. There are so many of them, it is even natural that they cannot be handled. And yet, I didn't have to wait around for you, and I knocked down the magic that was flying at Nil with my sword.

The discoloration of the Sakura-saki sword progressed slightly, and when the sword was swung again and the magic was dropped, the discoloration further progressed slightly. Only about a third of them were discolored, and it would be good if I could activate the Hundred Flowers Cherry Sword once before reaching the wall. Without much anticipation, let's proceed with the feeling of slashing if there is a timing to slash the magic.

After I destroyed Rockspear twice, I managed to get past all the magic and finally move on.

Nil ran out, and I followed Nil's back while drawing the magic circle again.

Arrows are coming!

I'll break through the same way as before!

Yes!

Bibu, Bibu, Bibu, Bibu!

I waved my cherry blossom sword in my right hand, slashing and blowing arrows. That was good. It was the same as before, but…

Master! The second shot is coming!

"Huh?!"

The number of arrows was lower than the number of arrows flying in first, but the archers fired two bursts of fire.

Since the distance was closer than the first time, it was easier to target the arrow, and the density of the arrows that came down became higher, so I had the illusion that everyone was shooting. No, maybe when I first fired the arrow, only half of them were shooting at me.

I wanted to use my divine powers to blow up the arrows again, but if I didn't slash some of the arrows in the first shot, I would be shot through. I can only deal with one or the other.

“I'll drop it! Master, take the second shot!"

Got it!

If I had stormed in alone, I might have gotten one of my hand injuries at this point.

After all, battling a large army with good leadership is tricky, and Nil and I don't have that much experience, so it's easy to miss expectations. If the five of us don't work together and fill each other's holes...

Haa!

Giggle! Giggle! Giggle!

Nil stands as close to me as possible, and in the arrows that come down, Nil and I take out the arrows that come down with our shields and war flowers.

Bow down!

After Nil had knocked down the arrow, he immediately gave instructions and shook his sword behind Nil's bent knee.

Pucker-pucker-packer!

A slashing blow hits the second arrow, punching a hole in the surface attack.

Haa!

After that, the two of them managed to knock down the flying arrows and proceeded to the back without having time to breathe.

Magic is coming!

The next thing I knew, I was going to do a magic attack again. The opposing shield soldiers were only 10 meters away. If you endure the magic here, you can stick to the opponent.

I'm going to release the wall lock again!

Yes!

The amount of light in the magic circle was probably unchanged, and the same amount of magic would fly in. The opponent's magic was dirt magic again. It's hard to imagine that the same amount of magic will be released, but if we can't find out what the opponent's magic is, we'll have no choice but to defend against it. After all, we had to activate the same magic to deal with it.

However, it wasn't Rockspire who released the magician. Intermediate Earth Magic, Rockfall.

It's just a magic that creates a big rock and drops it. It's a very concise magic, but it's a terrifying sight considering the number of opponents here.

The wall lock I activated was just a stone wall, not a shape that would protect the top. No, even if I did, I didn't have enough defense to withstand the countless rocks falling. At any rate, as soon as they saw the large rocks that appeared one after the other over Nil's head, Nil and I split up and ran off. I didn't want to split up, but I ran in the opposite direction. It hurts a lot to be separated from Nil here.

Perhaps Nil regretted the moment she ran out, but she didn't have time to turn back.

Zuga ga ga ga ga ga ga!

The sound of heavy stones hitting behind you. I just ran through the plains, not having the time to look back.

Zga, ga, ga, ga...

Hearing that Rockfall was somehow avoided, he turned to where we were, and the rocks that had fallen overlapped and formed a small pile. If it had been a moment later to escape, it would have been a mince.

The first time they activated Walllock, they switched to magic that made no sense. The Commander's abilities seem to be excellent. I'm curious about how much healing there is with the aristocrats. If we can win here, we should be able to reveal things around here later. Now, more than that, we have to get through here.

The Rockfall made me move a lot, but the distance to my enemies remained almost the same. It hurts to be separated from Nil... but rather than rushing to rendezvous with Nil, we need to avoid the risk of being exposed to ranged attacks by approaching the shields.

Damn!!

Seeing me running closer to the shields, Nil seems to have picked up the intent and runs towards the shields as well, not towards me.

"Coming! Get ready!"

The distance of ten meters is not far when you run. If you get close enough, the ranged attacks will stop and you will move to melee combat.

The opposing formation was orthodox.

Men with big shields were on the front lines. A spearman in the back. It was in the form of receiving a shield and thrusting it with a spear.

Behind them were the horseback riders and people with melee weapons such as swords and hatchets that I hadn't seen before, and behind them were archers and magicians.

I didn't see the horse riders in the fight against the bandits so far because it was a group with a lot of people in the first place, so I couldn't afford to feed the horses with my hands, or I couldn't train as a horseman... well, there are various reasons.

Horseback riding is very powerful on the battlefield, but I struggle to cultivate it. I guess the bandits couldn't handle it. However, the only thing that Tempest must have been able to do is to do it. No, it's better to think that we've gathered someone who can ride.

Stop them with the shield soldiers!!

It was the riders who gave the instructions. There aren't that many of them... but there are twenty of them just by looking at them.
