Dungeon Defense

“ ……. ”

Reef, of course, didn't know where the disturber was coming from. There were a few things he could know. First of all, it's impossible to outrun a hundred humans. Wearing heavy armor. I just lost strength in battle. In the end, he was very likely to die.

What do I do? What do I do? "

Reef stretches out his right arm. The tip of the spear slammed into the ground. The drunken excitement of the battlefield makes my muscle aches crawl. My whole body was moaning with fatigue.

“Commander! What's going on?" ”

“What are those kids doing over there!? ”

Adventurers rush around the Leaf. Those who heard Reef shout to flee and fled the ranks. Some of them blasphemed irresponsibly at the Reef for spoiling the line.

Reef glances around dazed.

“ ……. ”

Eyes mixed with anxiety and restlessness. A rank of heavily armed infantry soldiers that was crumbling as some adventurers escaped. Goblins running through it.

Hundreds of humans continue to tighten beyond the bloodshed. The siege that Leaf so desperately wanted to avoid is complete. A hundred Goblin troops in the rear, villagers on either side, and people who don't know where they came from in front of their eyes.

“…… Dust. ”

He mutters powerlessly.

“Squeeze the dust……. ”

“Squeeze the dust! ”

The executive man who heard the commander shouted. Immediately, orders were spread. Thirty adventurers and some vigilantes march in a square formation around the Reef. Vigilantes who left the line and fled because they couldn't handle the Goblin attack.

“Move cheaply! ”

“What a fucking mess! ”

There were only five of them, though, who successfully joined the tremor. The rest of you are in an awkward line of death due to your colleagues' irresponsible escape. At the moment of their death, the words of the curse spit out at the Adventure Battalion Leader, as well as the Reef, are heard.

“Leaf fucker! ”

“Suck it, queek! Grr!”

In the end, half of the troops are stranded on the dry ground, unable to hold their lines or escape. A swarm of Goblins, like cockroaches, clings to the corpse. His flesh was torn and his blood was rotting. Someone watched the scene and swallowed a saliva. The dust settled, but the fraud was terrible.

“Commander, what a mess...! ”

“Why aren't the village bastards attacking! How long are you going to keep watching? Commander! Are you just going to stand there? If we keep going, we're doomed. Doomed! ”

“It's you!”

Reef doesn't answer.

The Reef and Wizard stand amidst the dust. The wizard could easily escape into the trench, because he was at the rear of the battalion, even during the heavy infantry assault. She, who always seemed to have a different mind in the bean field, was also looking at the situation with a sharp glance, realizing how serious it was.

‘This bitch is my last hope. ’

Reef grits his teeth. The wizard saves his life to deal with the golems. The Wizard never tires. I don't know, but I could use some pretty powerful magic.

Make it an "awl." Makes you vomit whatever you can into the weakest parts of the siege. Once the spirit of the magical scent of the enemy flees, it penetrates the gap in no time.

‘Sixty seconds, can we do it? ’

We're running out of time.Goblins have already arrived. I was stuck in a sturdy dust right now, but I couldn't hold on much longer with only thirty-five people. I had to push it, whether I wanted to or not.

Reef asked the Wizard.

“Hey, can you prepare with the biggest and most powerful magic? ”

“Mmm-hmm. It's hard to get away with it, though. ”

The wizard said it was as if it had nothing to do with him.

“I'm not proud of it, but I'm good at one-on-one combat, and I don't know much about military magic. What, even though the Great Magic itself only takes five circles to work? Just know that. ”

“Shut the fuck up. Get ready. ”

“I already have. I've been chanting since you stopped running like a dog without a tail. ”

Reef looks at the woman in surprise.

“This is the first good news I've heard since this damn battle began. ”

“Yaaaawwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww, you ignorant adventurer. Unlike your kind, wizards are a bit clever. Among them, I am of the clever. In conclusion, I'm much smarter than you. Underline it because it's important. ”

“Damn it.”

This is how the wizard bitch used to talk, and Reef frowned. But now I didn't have time to spend thinking about it.

As he shines his eyes, he finds out which part of the siege is weakest, and where he can be penetrated with only thirty troops. Next to him, the Wizard was constantly mumbling.

“Even though I'm a little short on the guy leading the monsters here. It uses human psychology at its most fundamental level. It was a ploy to concentrate suspicion on those villages that didn't deliberately join the Adventure Party. They betrayed us so we wouldn't join them. ”

She is excited to finally find something interesting in her boring life. Behind the long lashes, his eyes were glittering.

“Quite the opposite, actually. A traitor would join us even more aggressively and seek to collapse from within. If all four villages had responded to the Adventure Party, they might have doubted it. But cleverly, two villages joined, and two villages remained... heh. It's psychological, very psychological. ”

“Shut the fuck up, you freak! ”

“You shut up. My breath stinks. My breath stinks so much that I can honestly tell if you're human or food scum. Why aren't we mobilizing golems, by the way? That's what I'm curious.Humans are powerful as infantry, of course, but a golem would suffice. Hmmm.”

I gave up on Leaf keeping the Wizard's mouth shut.

He could not find any loopholes in the siege. Either way, there was an overwhelming number of troops built up over them. Approximately 200 Humans...... There were over 300 Goblins.

In the meantime, one adventurer dies. A squad member breaks his head by the stones thrown by the Goblin Dialyst.

“Commander! I can't hold on much longer! ”

“Tongue, brother! ”

Finally, they sensed that the villagers approaching from both sides were not allies. Friends couldn't have lived like that. However, there was no one who talked about it. The moment I spit it out my mouth, it felt like it was over.

Finally, the leaf pointed to one side by looking at the judges.

“Fellas! As soon as the spell wears off, run that way!" Never stop, never mind who dies, run! Got it! ”

“Yes, commander! ”

“Shoot him!”

Reef yells at the woman. Before he finished speaking, she was preparing for magic. A black beam emanates from the end of the staff that the woman planted on the ground. The magic circle spreads small on the ground and quickly spreads wide enough to cover the entire dust.

“The curse will be lifted. ”

It only takes a fraction of her time to trigger the spell. Twelve fireballs emerge from the air. As she raises her staff and points to the direction, fireballs protrude from the catapult like rocks. Goblins and humans in that direction have not responded.

“Huh?"

As they pause, a ball of fire swallows them up, the size of a human body. The accelerated fires continue to spread. Thirty Goblins and ten Humans were burned. Suddenly, the surrounding area fades.

It was a much more powerful magic than I expected. Goblins who are instinctively afraid of the fire scatter in all directions, screaming. Humans who had never seen magic in their lives lived in the mountains were greatly embarrassed. To them, magic was like a prodigy.

Reef roars.

“Ahhhh!”

He doesn't give the orders separately. I ran straight out. There was no problem. The troops didn't wait for orders either. Now, twenty-five fewer warriors run in one direction, shouting in unison.

“Rrrrgh!”

Some humans dare to stop the Adventure Party without being overwhelmed by magic. I didn't have time to deal with him. Reef automatically pulls the axe out of his waist and throws it to the humans blocking the path. A hand axe swirls and flies across the opposing team's forehead. The opposing Pokémon slumps back as it breaks its collarbone. Twenty-five men march over the corpse.

“I'll kill you once or twice, motherfucker! ”

“Die! Die! ”

There was no progress. It was a dead end. Only experience and instinct were alive. They swing their spears as their arms go, cooperate with their colleagues, and kill monsters and humans in front of them. The wizard also created a fireball at his own discretion and fired at the most threatening obstacle.

In the future, they rush forward in reverse. Over time, another squad member collapsed. The magic caused a proper horror, but was pushed too far from the troops. With the stones thrown by the dialysis soldier, the five Goblins have fallen from the wind in unison, putting their forearms on the tip of the opposing humans, and the troops have fallen down for a number of different reasons. The conclusion was one thing. They're dead.

However, some broke through the siege by trampling on their comrades' deaths. Only three survivors made it through the phosphorus barrier. The Reef, the Wizard, and the executive. They ran a long way out of the siege. We know that the monsters in the back and the humans can chase us at any time.

“Amazing. I didn't expect to hire a wizard. ”

I was purely amazed.

I knew how precious wizards were to be treated in this world. Ordinary wizards accumulated the family's energy in their bodies through generations, and thus performed powerful magic. It took generations of effort and care to create one usable wizard.

“Please punish me. ”

Laura kneels on the ground.

“Failure to annihilate the enemy is entirely your fault. ”

“How could I have known the Wizard existed? The opponent hid an unexpected move. Don't blame yourself too much. Behold.”

I pointed out the plains beneath the village.

“Only three escaped. No, it's down to two now. ”

One of the three men falls from a distance. It looks like it was hit by a rock shot by a Goblin. The other two quickly dive into the nearby forest. Because the forest has the advantage of escaping.

“I took down a village of four layers of wooden planks. They slaughtered 300 humans. All but two of them were killed by the infantry. If this is not a great victory, what is it? ”

“ ……. ”

Monsters and humans scream in the plains. Victory cries. The earth is as red as the night sky, and the one standing on it is not the enemy, but us. Not even one of my direct men, Golem, died.

“Laura. I'm proud of your service.

I raised her hand.

I meant it.

Who can believe that a 16-year-old girl has accomplished this amazing feat? She has proven herself to be Laura de Farneseim in this battle and gained my complete trust.

Laura's head bows, even as she raises her head. Then I noticed her wilted shoulders trembling weakly, very weakly. She was. Though she was destined to be the Chancellor of Iron Blood ten years later, she was now a gracious aristocrat, a woman who had been treated as a sex slave until recently, and had never led an army in her life.

There would have been heavy pressure.

He would have endured to repay my faith.

He would have been buried in a corner of his heart without expression.

Now that it's all over, let's just relax. All at once, all the stress comes from it. That's why he knelt on his knees thinking that he had missed only two people and did not meet my expectations.

I stroked her golden hair.

Well done, Laura. That was really good.

With that in mind, I stroked as gently as I could.

“Never again shall you kneel. ”

Laura raises her head.

“…… Yes. My Lord.”

She laughs. Dry around the eyes.

The invasion of the Class E Adventurers, united by five villages and comprised of seventy Adventurer-Vigilantes, ended with the overwhelming victory of our horseman army.
