Chapter 57 Sacrifice (2)
The people of the barrier looked.
The spears that suddenly appeared from the sky pierced the approaching demons. The blade did not stop at a single monster, but pierced through them as if they were skewers until their speed ran out.
Flying monsters approaching earlier did not fall from the sky for a long time, then slowly retreated. Even the winged ones had enough troops, so I came to subdue the humans who were difficult to respond to in air battles.
Bubbly-
As Man-yong laid out the gruesome deaths one after another, he flapped his wings and turned back. Of course, while they retreated, they died.
“I, that, what… … .”
The soldiers and knights lost their words and saw the scene. At first, I couldn’t tell if the spears that suddenly appeared were friendly or foe. However, since they are slaughtering demons right now, I believe they are allies.
If that spear turns and flies towards the soldiers. It would be a hell that was worse than the monsters of the large army in front of me right now.
“Is it Captain Silvain’s ability… … ?”
The knights soon turned their attention to Silvain. Surely those spears were being made around him. In the midst of everyone’s surprise, he is calmly watching the battle by himself.
A color of harmony appeared on the faces of the knights at that reliable and calm appearance.
“It is the power of the captain! Everyone, don’t be afraid and stay seated!”
Eventually, someone shouted these words to boost the morale of the soldiers,
“Wow!”
Just like the wind, the barriers were brimming with great morale, and shouts soared over the battlefield.
“… … .”
However, Silvain’s calm expression was literally just an expression.
He couldn’t quite comprehend what was going on right before his eyes.
Flying monsters were also colored with black monsters. In other words, it will be stronger than the other monsters outside, and its strength was clearly felt by the archers’ shooting before.
But those spears were surely killed one at a time, as if somehow. Even if it was not enough, he ran to any monster nearby and pierced it again.
‘Each window is not made roughly. It is a high-end weapon that can be traded at a high price. Dozens of such things, and even without users.’
“Captain.”
Then, Frontier carefully opens her mouth.
Flying monsters who ran away and monsters on the ground coming forward. The two of them were approaching the front line. In other words, a serious clash was imminent.
“Instructions to the archers.”
Only after hearing Frontier’s words did Silvain realize the current situation. Until a while ago, it was best to pretend not to be surprised by what Frontier had said. Even that wasn’t easy.
“Archer! Ready to shoot!”
According to Silvain’s orders, the archers aimed their bows in unison. Its movements were very agile and sophisticated, even considering that they were skilled soldiers.
A sortie of spears that drop flying monsters as if they were sparrows. All of them believe that Sylvain did this miraculous sight.
Silvain, who was not embarrassed, not surprised, and stood still and calmly. The first command that came out of his mouth. The morale of the soldiers had to be at its peak.
And the power and accuracy of the auras and arrowheads that are caused by such fraud are different from before.
“launch!!”
Shhh!
Bubbly Bubbly!!!
The same archers fired the same arrows, but the scene was clearly different from yesterday. The number of arrows that bounced off the black part was significantly reduced, and in the first place, the archers avoided the black part and precisely hit their weaknesses. In this world of Aurors, morale literally changes the quality of soldiers.
Confirming that, Frontier said.
“I will aim for flying monsters like this. The guys on the ground, even if it’s hard, you have to stop them.”
Frontier did not wait for an answer and stepped back. Why are you moving all of a sudden? This location would be nice to see the battlefield. I had such a question, but it was quickly resolved.
“Sylvan.”
After Frontier disappeared, Ampere approached him.
“The art of flying spears, did you really do it?”
Ampere looked at Sylvain with suspicious eyes. That’s right, but you’re out of your seat because of Ampere. So, your eyes are fast.
“Sylvain, I’ve seen the finals at Constell before.”
“… … .”
“I saw something very similar to the flying spears there.”

No doubt Ampere was almost aware that the flying spears were the work of Frontier. Still, why do you have to ask Silvain?‘You’re asking if I’m trying to hide Frontier.’
If Sylvine lies here, there is no going back. He joined Frontier’s plans and disobeyed Ampere’s orders. Ampere will never tolerate it.
If so, would you rather tell the truth? Ampere has already noticed almost everything, so what does it mean to lie now? Frontier isn’t the most important person Sylvine must protect. Above all else, if you really want to protect Frontier, it is better to inform Ampere right away and protect it.
“Sylvain, are those spears yours?”
So, Sylvain’s answer to Ampere’s bloody voice was decided.
—In a little while, you’ll shed tears and be thankful. To me, and to Frontier.
“That’s right.”
“… … ho.”
Silvain was surprised by the answer himself. Why? Why am I trying to hide the frontier? You knew the answer!
But even though I was surprised, my heart calmed down on the contrary. Thanks to you, my face didn’t show anything.
“Using the magic circle, we devised to launch and launch weapons in the air. It is an application of ‘Telekinetic Power’.”
I have to be honest now, but Silvain’s mouth continued to lie horribly. It came out very fluently.
“… … The range of this magic circle, is it far beyond the barrier?”
“Have you never gone to their stronghold with the Knights of Roach? That’s when I started working on it.”
That’s nonsense.
It had only been two days since the first battle ended. It would be unreasonable to draw a magic circle of this range in such a short time.
Above all else, Silvain continues to participate in meetings and training.
There was no wavering in Silvain’s expression, even though he was telling a lie that was likely to be caught.
It was then that Silvain realized his own heart.
‘… … Frontier.’
We need this war now.
Large-scale monsters that exceeded expectations. To deal with them, you need to reduce the enemy’s variables as much as possible. The only thing that makes that possible right now is the Frontier, who immediately kills flying monsters.
He is the most useful warrior on this battlefield, a good watchman who can read the entire battlefield, and a knight who can develop tactics with his own personal management.
It can never be removed from the battlefield.
“… … .”
Ampere’s eyes pierced Sylvain. It was not enough to fill Silvain’s skin from head to toe with a spirit that was close to living, so he slowly tightened his body. Silvain just stood still, as if he had put a stick in place of his face.
Ampere, who watched the scene silently,
“… … Whoops.”
He soon closed his eyes and softened his face. Sylvain was rather surprised by that face.
“is it.”
just that one word.
Leaving a voice that seemed to be blown away by the wind, Ampere walked around Silvain.
Instead of climbing over the wall, he jumped over it and stood in front of it. It was the same location as the first day.
Sylvain knew what he meant. In this battle, Ampere was supposed to fight on the wall. Flying monsters were taken into account.
The real threat was the flying monsters before the barrier was breached, so it was best to fight on the wall of Ampere, who could cut down monsters regardless of distance.
However, Ampere went down. It meant one thing.
‘I entrusted the flying monster to Frontier!’
Sylvain knew the meaning and cried out.
“Archers, aim for the black monsters! Pierce through their dirty skins!”
The next variable after flying monsters, the defeat of black monsters.
That was his part.
* * *
“Heh, heh heh! Huh… … !”
Frontier was fighting a blood battle with the demons on the wall. The time was already unknown. I saw the sun rising high, so it was noon. It is not easy to raise your head recklessly.
“hey! soldier! Take your breath away! Even if you die, you have to die from the monster. Do you want to die because you can’t breathe alone!!”
Someone next to him shouted at Frontier. Are you a high-ranking soldier? Frontier had no idea what class he looked like now. I didn’t even want to know.
He tried to calm his breathing, but it was too much for Frontier. Frontier’s eyes flashed open as he took a rough breath through his teeth.
Shhh!
Bubbly-
Flying monsters flying through the frantic battlefield, caught them in their eyes, and Frontier blew a spear in the air to crush them.
Every time I did, my mana was blown away in chunks, my breathing became rough and my legs trembled.
“Hey, Captain Silvain. It’s just awesome. How did you hide such a skill? If it wasn’t for that, the barriers would have been breached by the wing bastards earlier.”
The soldier who was yelling at Frontier muttered in admiration at the sight. Then he looked at the Frontier again and shouted.
“Yumma! Raise your head, bastard! What are you panting for? If you don’t look ahead, you’re dead!”
“… … Yep.”
After a brief reply, Frontier raised his head. It’s a bit harsh, but I’m saying the right thing. If you don’t open your eyes properly, you won’t be able to open your eyes again.
“The creepy guys… … .”
The soldier turned white as he looked at the scene below the barrier.
They were ignorantly climbing up the fortress wall by overlapping their bodies to make an uphill road.
Their enormous quantity made it possible. In particular, the black monsters swiftly stepped on them and reached the front of the castle wall. The ones Frontier was dealing with were mostly black monsters.
However, since it was not a trained movement, they tried to unite with each other and then collapsed on their own. He repeated it over and over as if he had no ability to learn.

Nevertheless,‘Don’t stop… … !’
The soldiers clenched their teeth at the vicious appearance. They are not the only ones who get together and die on the ground. Nevertheless, they made an uphill road as if possessed by something, and stepped on their heads and climbed up.
As if he didn’t care about death, he just ran into it as if he were risking his life to cross the barrier.
‘The corpses are piled up under the wall. In a little while, you won’t even need to make an uphill road.’
Whether they are killed by human attacks or crushed to death by themselves, most of the dead monsters are clustered in front of the wall.
As time passed, the number piled up, and the height of the corpse gradually began to approach the barrier. When this happens, they will step on the corpse and climb it.
Perhaps this was the tactic from the beginning. They had enough stock to do that.
Of course, the human side won’t let this happen.
Shhh-
Aww!
The fireballs, rocks, and typhoons cast by the wizards on the wall swept away the mountain of corpses in front of the wall. Each time that happened, the mountain of corpses collapsed and the monsters were swept away to death.
However, the faces of the wizards were not good.
‘Those who are already dead… … .’
There are still a lot of monsters to fight, but they are using magic to clear the mountain.
Mana is not infinite, and enough mana is required to blow away the corpses piled up in the barrier. The mental power and time required to cast are an added bonus.
Above all else, if you use magic to remove those in front of the barrier, damage will naturally accumulate on the barrier as well. Even if you attack while avoiding the barrier as much as possible, you cannot completely avoid it.
“You bastards!! Don’t let it touch the barrier!”
“Damn that’s not easy!!”
On the battlefield, shouts and swear words flew. I couldn’t afford to speak. They just spit out their emotions. Profanity and shouting, everything is forgotten when the war is over. If there is someone who is even a little stingy, you can pass it on to a glass of alcohol.
But life doesn’t come back. Knowing that, everyone was desperate.
By the way.
“Hey, that guy, what are you doing?”
A strange thing happened to the black monsters who stepped on the monsters and rushed to them first. They climbed the mountain of monster corpses that had not yet been cleared.
Then, lying flat on it, he stretched out his black hair like a tree trunk. The masses of corpses that touched him were stuck together as if entangled in chains. The dyed black color did not cover the object, but it was locked in one lump.
“I, crazy, bastards… … .”
These corpse masses did not collapse easily even if the magic hit them directly. I had to break through the durability of that black, but it wasn’t easy with the power of magic spread over the area.
Keek, Keek!!
Crrr!
The sound of demons is approaching. Climb the unbroken mountain and approach the barrier.
“Ah, uh, uh… … !”
One of the soldiers was frightened and shouted. The fear spread, and the external monsters who knew the fear and the unknown black monsters began to climb over the wall like leeches in the old mansions.
At that moment, Frontier saw Ampere guarding the front of the wall. He was swinging his sword in front of the wall’s gate.
At his attack, dozens of monsters turned into corpses and flew in the air, but as many monsters squirmed in again, needlessly oversized ones obstructed him.
If Ampere turned away, the gate of the barrier would be shredded at that moment.
Ampere’s aid cannot be expected. Same goes for Sylvan.
wow-
Frontier bit his molars.
Weaving (織造), Heukcheon
Rank – Divinity
Chrycelakatos, Iokeira
After breaking the necklace, the black water droplets gathered in his hand became bows and arrows.
A Frontier who cannot use Dragon Heart.
While annihilating the flying monsters by weaving in the air, at the same time, he killed the monsters that crossed the barrier in front of him.
The remaining mana was already sparse.
Frontier, who has repeatedly exhausted mana in both training and combat, knows the cost of exceeding the limit better than anyone.
“… … I’m sleepy.”
Frontier laughed. You feel your own blood burn. All the moisture evaporates, so not even sweat. My whole body creaked at the small movement of pulling the bowstring.
It’s okay though.
Even if your body is full, even if the hand holding the string trembles, even if your eyes are blurry and you can’t see anything,
This arrow never misses the enemy.
Shuuk-
An arrow shot towards the sky and exploded into firecrackers.
The sky shone brightly with light, but at the same time cast a shadow beneath it.
A selfish shower that only wets the demons was predicted.
