As  he released the Thunderbolt and  was fighting the horde of  monster that could be called the second wave, the second unit, which had replaced the first unit, came to their aid.

Already at the peak of fatigue and barely moving, the third unit was glad to see the second unit come to the rescue.

"Barbaroto! The second unit has arrived!"

" We, the third unit, will temporarily retreat and rest!"

"Hurry back!"

The captain of the third squad announced to Barbaroto, but Barbaroto did not want to go back."

"Barbaroth! Don't you hear me!"

"I can hear you! I'll stay behind, so you take your men and go ahead!"

"'Don't be a fool!

You're strong, , but you can't fight  forever !"

"Just get back already !"

"I'll catch up with you later, don't worry about me!"

Leolde listened to the exchange between the two and decided that they were getting nowhere, so he interrupted.

"Barbaroto. You should  obey your superior's orders."

" But, Master Leolde, if I'm  leave , the battle line will tilt."

"Huh? Do I look so unreliable to you?"

"No  but if you look at the whole picture,  you will understand .

In fact, if you look around the battlefield, you'll see that many knights are exhausted, out of breath and barely able to stand 

If Barbaroto were to pull  back at this point, the front line that Barbaroto had been holding back would collapse, and the battle situation would quickly turn to the demon side.

"You're underestimating me quite a bit. It's not a big deal if I'm serious.

"Haha. Please don't be so tough."

A little bit, Barbaroto seemed irritated by the way Leoldo said it and roughly killed a nearby  monster .

"You've seen my magic and you don't believe me?

"It is true that it was very powerful, but that was only possible because Leoldo was with full magic power ."

Can you chant Master Leolde again now?"

"Ha! Don't  underestimated me . I say I can do it.

"...... If you say so.

Barbaroth, who believed in Leorde but could not tolerate pretense, wished Leolde in an angry, quiet voice.

". Then do it ."

Leolde steps back and begins to chant.

"Mother Earth, resonate with my will."

"Calling up the earth, for the feast of violence is now here!"

The earth rumbled with a gurgling sound, and the shaking was so great that neither the  monsters nor the knight could stand.

"'Gratony Gaia!!!"

As the earth ripped apart, an abyss was created and the demons fell as if they were being sucked into it. As the demons that tried to escape also cracked underfoot, the ground split open and the  monsters were swallowed up.

The knights trembled in fear when they saw the scene of the  monsters being swallowed into the abyss one after another. They realized that Leolde still had this much power in him .

And the earth, which had swallowed so many monsters , mercilessly crushed  them that were trying to escape. The earth that had been torn apart returned to its original state, and the knights were all that remained.

"Huh. ......"

He was about to laugh through  his nose and show Barbaroto  his smug face, but Leolde just fell to the side.

Gilbert rushed over to the fallen Leoldo and picked him up, but Leoldo was completely unconscious.

"Master !"

The medic rushed over to check on Leolde.

After confirming that his pulse was normal and his heart was functioning, the medic knew that Leolde had run out of magic power.

"Please calm down. It seems that  he has run out of magic power.

He may not wake up for a while, but he'll be fine.

"I see. ...... Thank God."

Gilbert was relieved to know that it was just a simple loss of magic power. Gilbert holds Leorde and turns his attention to Barbaroto.

"Are you going to waste the  masters hard-earned time?"

"What? We should evacuate to the fort immediately.

Gilbert's words brought Barbaroto  back to his senses, and he and the third unit took refuge  to the fort. Thanks to Leolde's massive use of magic, the retreat went smoothly.

Gilbert is holding Barbaroto  and Leordo as they return to the fort. Gilbert carried Leoldo to the infirmary, laid him on a bed, and climbed the outer wall of the fort with Barbarothp

"It's quiet.

"......"

"Barbaroto . You  was unusually angry with  him ."

"I am sorry. I knew it, but I just couldn't allow it to happen in that situation."

Many of the knights were exhausted and some could barely wield their swords, and Leolde  commands inadvertently gave them hope.

It is true that Leolde  used the Thunderbolt to temporarily stun the  monster . But by all accounts, he was so depleted that it was a wonder he was even standing there with his magic power gone.

In spite of this, he was frail. It occurred to  him that no matter how little  he had recovered, it wouldn't be enough to shoot the Thunderbolt again.

That's why  he  got angry at him, telling him to stop being so emphatic and to stop giving me hope without a second thought.

(If Master Leolde's statement had been only falsehood, the knight who was standing on his own strength would have crumbled and the battle line would have collapsed.)

When I he thought about it,  he couldn't help but be angry.

"You're right. To be honest, I couldn't believe my ears either."

To be honest,   he   couldn't believe what  he  was hearing, because  he  was disappointed that he had returned to the arrogant monk he was only a short time ago.

However, the monk was not being tough, he was telling the truth.

In fact,  he was transfixed by the scene in front of  him until the monk collapsed. This is no way to be a squire.

"It's frustrating. I believed in  him , Master Leorde."

"You're absolutely right. I feel ashamed of myself."

The two depressed people let out a sigh at the same time.

While they were both depressed, Leorde did not wake up.

The sun is setting and night is coming. Night was the friend of demons and the enemy of people. Despite the poor visibility, the first and second troops fought hard.

However, absent of  Barbaroth, Leolde , and Gilbert was fatal.

The number of wounded would increase, and the battle line would have to be lowered. Fortunately, the only saving grace was that there were no casualties yet.
