Episode 70. Magical energy flood (5)
It was a very magnificent sight.
The students, who had never received military training, stood guard in front of the wall in an orderly fashion.
It was a formation that Sergei devised on the spot, taking into account the type of magic he was specializing in, the amount of magic power, and so on.
When the first line of defense is breached, fields and pastures are abandoned and into the village…
When the second line of defense is breached, the private house is abandoned and the central fortress is…
If even the third line of defense is breached, then that is the end.
There was a mixture of tension and fear on the faces of the students.
I heard that you were fighting monsters in practice, but you never imagined that you would be able to stop the wave of monsters.
At some point, darkness fell over the village, and an unusual energy began to permeate.
“Isn’t the introduction of the villagers over?”
“Yes, Professor. Everyone has moved to the shelter.”
It can be seen that no one is missing.
Although this is not often the case, it does happen intermittently, so the residents have been conducting evacuation drills almost every month.
“come.”
Sergei muttered in a low voice.
The students only tilted their heads, but I felt it too.
The vibration of the earth as the demons flock to it.
Basically, when monsters encounter other species, they will fight.
However, when they sense something completely foreign, they all agree with each other, stop arguing with each other, if not until then, and rush to rule out the heterogeneity.
For example, like now.
“Oh my gosh······.”
The vibration quickly increased, and the small trees at the beginning of the Wrist Forest fell down.
At the same time, the black dog, the orc, and that one came out…
damn. Is it Fenrir?
In any case, it was a rare sight that could not be easily seen, where monsters of all different types and sizes gathered together.
“Everyone in a defensive posture! When your magic power runs out, fill it up with your own mana stones! If you have symptoms of magical energy poisoning, drink an antidote! However, there are not many antidote, so drink sparingly!”
Sergei ran around, spreading the command.
It was possible to use magic to amplify it, but it seemed like he wanted to keep his magical power as high as possible.
Now the real start.
This battle that I described as the worst fight on paper…
This battle, in which the tough Hurt Locker confessed that it was extremely difficult.
When I met him, I didn’t even think about it.
It was just that the things I had to do were neatly organized and popped into my head.
“Teacher.”
“···········?”
A hand rested on my shoulder and chin.
I turned my head to see Trier smiling.
All of a sudden, Tree had borrowed the armor of the village guard and was wearing a sword around his waist.
“It’s a pity that there is only one true sword. If there were two, I would have given it to the teacher.”
“No. It’s heavy for me, so it’d just be a hindrance. I’m more comfortable with magic.”
“Even if someone who will become a magic knight in the future says that, it just sounds like deception.”
“What do you mean?”
“Huh.”
Is it because of this guy that I’m not so nervous?
The tree should be a little strong.
Especially if that tree is holding a sword.
“I prepared a present, but I don’t know if it will arrive on time.”
“gift?”
“Don’t expect too much! Then I’ll go to my location!”
“···········?”
With an incomprehensible noise, Trier ran with the guards to the first line of defense.
“30 seconds until the arrival of the first wave! Prepare for wide-area magic!”
“············”.
Sergei shouted and signaled to the students in the first row.
I was also in the first row where I was supposed to shoot wide-area magic, but I only pretend to shoot magic.
No matter what I shoot with my 1000’s of magic power, it won’t go away.
‘Choice and Concentration’ was saved, but there was a separate place to use it later.
“Area Magic! Shooting!”
flame. lightning. sound waves, etc…
Each of the wide-area magic was shot out to the front.
If you look at them one by one, the magic is not that great, but when there are dozens of them, they spit out vast amounts of firepower and wiped out the monsters that rushed at them.
Is this why wizards are treated as tactical weapons on the battlefield?
Certainly, I thought that there is a possibility that there will be a class of soldiers that specializes in killing only wizards like the Hurt Locker.
“Second Row! Sniper Conduct!”
A flash of light, arrows, or wind pressure flew toward the front with a squeaking sound.
The demons turned and fell, stepping on the corpse behind them, causing bottlenecks in various places, but it was not enough to stop them altogether.
In the end, they were only delayed by time, and they almost reached the roadblock.
Is this the real start?
“Hold on!!!”
The monsters smashed in, and the wooden railing shook violently.
While the guards blocked them with their bodies, they pierced their spears through the pillars.
Despite such efforts, the monsters continued to pile up, and the barriers were gradually leaning.
Still, the magic continued to fall on the monsters that came in the meantime and erased a lot of numbers.
“Drop the barrier! Retreat!”
When Sergei shouted, the guards all turned around and started running.
At the same time, the wall collapsed and the pouring monsters wanted to attack them…
“aa!”
“Wow…”
A huge barrier that Sergei deployed interrupted them, giving the guards time to escape.
It had been holding on to that wide range of barriers, even while the weight of thousands of monsters was rushing in.
In the original story, Sergei hardly showed how to use magic, so I couldn’t really feel it…
I also thought that this kid was a really great guy.
The barrier lasted about 30 seconds and eventually broke.
In the beginning, it was too much of a greed to protect both rice fields and fields from the first line of defense that was not strong enough.
From now on, it is taller and can be defended against a solid wall made of stone.
Soon the demons crossed the field and reached the wall.
“When you run out of magic, come back and replenish! In the meantime, fill the second row!”
Sergei conducted systematically in his own way, but soon a melee began.
It’s such a hassle-free battle where fireballs are pouring from here and there and arrows are flying.
The black dog, without intelligence, was simply thrown into the wall as a swarm and died, and its corpse became a foothold and grew higher and higher.
The orcs kept increasing the number of wounded on this side by stoning them one step at a time.
Fenrir, with its hard leather, served as a shield with its large body.
From Scouts to One Deal to Tanks.
Is this a f*cking dream team or something?
It’s a fantastic combination, really.
“Cool! Cuckoo…!”
There were also students who gradually vomited or had nosebleeds.
The village’s magical energy has grown too deep.
I gulped the antidote here and there.
If you drink it so quickly…
“Professor! The antidote has run out!”
It will be exhausted soon too.
Originally, the village guards only stored the amount to be used, but suddenly dozens of students came, so it wouldn’t be consumed immediately.
They consume magical power like crazy and breathe three or four times faster than ordinary people.
But by now…
“Professor! We found an antidote in the warehouse!”
“What are you talking about? How many bottles?”
“It’s 10 bottles. But…the concentration of all of them is very high, so I think it’s similar to the equivalent of 100 bottles of ready-made products!”
“her······!”
It must be around the time when the magic energy antidote that I deliberately brought out was discovered.
I’ll be able to hold on to this for a while longer.
“Oh, it’s coming up…!”
“Orcs! Orcs are coming over the wall!”
After a while in a frenzied battle, one side was making a lot of noise.
Indeed, the orcs were crossing the wall, and the guards and students were blocking it.
sh*t. The corpses of the black dogs that had just piled up seemed to have turned into mountains and were large enough to climb over the fortress walls.
Now even the second line of defense will collapse.
“Pave the way!”
“Mr. Schlusus. I’ll be there first.”
Something flew by with the wind blowing sideways.
Trier and Sergei.
Sergei was holding a huge club that he did not know where he had picked it up, and he was charging the tree with his sword pulled out.
The two continued to cut them all down before the swarm of orcs came over, slashing them, and passing them outside again.
If Insagang Sergei and the tireless Trier were together, there was unconditional peace of mind.
Even if the high-ranking monster, Fenrir, passes over in hordes, it will be enough to counteract.
But what if the footholds build up on the other side of the fortress wall and they start to come over…?
“Aww! This one too!”
“Great!”
damn. The feared situation came sooner than expected.
Fenrir was crossing the opposite wall with the orcs.
The students with the monster placed right in front of them fell into a panic.
“Retreat! Retreat to the 3rd line of defense! But if you can afford it, let’s retreat slowly and help our allies retreat!”
Sergei, who could not see it, was eventually forced to give the order to abandon the wall.
The 3rd line of defense is a very high spire, so it is virtually impossible for monsters to break through.
But they’re probably going to destroy all the private houses.
It only saves our lives, and it becomes our defeat.
Knowing that, Sergei would have had no choice but to hesitate.
The saying that those who can afford to stay came from that context.
The guys in panic are not helpful, so put them back and fight with guys with great fighting power, and when you see an angle, you’re thinking of driving out the demons and getting back on the second line of defense.
“Are you Schlus Heinkel?”
“···········?”
Then someone tapped my back from behind.
Startled, I looked back.
There stood an old woman holding something wrapped in a white veil.
He stood upright and looked at me as the students ran away screaming.
He seemed like a resident and was not afraid.
“Yes. That’s right.”
“Then take this.”
“This······?”
He took the long thing wrapped in a veil from the old woman in both hands.
At the same time, the old woman pulled the veil, and the dazzling sword gleamed in the darkness.
Isn’t this the training sword you used when you were fighting Trier earlier?
not. It was the same as the training sword, but different.
The blunt blade that had been bruised and painful even after being beaten hard was as sharp as a razor blade.
Did you just leave it to the blacksmith to forge the blade for me?
“Who is this-“
“············”.
When I tried to ask, the old woman was gone.
You’re just a newcomer.
I turned around and looked at Tree, who was still cutting down monsters in front of the castle wall.
She didn’t even look like she could afford to look at me.
It’s a gift from Treer to me.
Now that neither magic nor abilities can be used, I have received something very valuable.
“Kurrele…!”
At that moment, a Fenrir who had crossed the wall stood in front of me.
All of a sudden, the students and guards guarding this wall had all fled.
No, there was a saying that it was okay to retreat, so the expression running away must be wrong.
Anyway, I was alone here.
No matter how much Sergei and Trier are, it will be difficult for them to come and run for me without dealing with that much volume.
“Kurre!”
“Whoa….”
damn it’s f*cking scary
Still, I had to fight.
Even if it’s a slow-footed orc, if you send Fenrir, the students who ran away will be bitten by the nape of the neck and die.
I raised my sword over my shoulder and took a stance.
A position more favorable to dealing with an enemy larger than myself.
Then, all of a sudden, the landscape before my eyes changed.
The landscape quickly overshadowed reality.
‘uh?’
pure white snow.
A gigantic wolf monster that rolls its eyes there.
Even the boy standing alone in front of him.
It was a scene I had seen before in ‘Memories of My Own’.
Except for the fact that all sides were covered with snow, the situation was almost the same as now.
okay. Schlust did it at such a young age.
It’s probably funny that I’m scared now with an adult body.
When I thought about it, my confidence rose and a smile naturally appeared on my lips.
The moment the white wolf rushed to me, the snowy mountain landscape melted away and returned to reality.
“Come on. Doggy.”
“Aww!”
A new version of Fenrir rushed towards me.
The movement seemed strangely slow.
The battle scenes are lacking.
