Episode 116
35. Siege of Doris (2)
Soyoung bit her lips at the loud ringing of the bell.
It was a completely unexpected mistake.
That time when he was about to subdue all the watchtowers and cross the wall.
At the same time, he was caught by the Mwape guard captain who came to inspect.
Awesome coincidence.
Having identified the intruder, he succeeded in sounding the alarm before Illiana Soyoung intercepted it.
“Friendly! Whoa!”
The over-excited guard captain slammed his spear and gathered his subordinates. Just by looking at it, it looked like he was at least thirty.
Shhh!! puck!!
Two Mwafes running towards the wall where they are hiding fall down.
It was Illyana’s ghost-like shooting.
Nevertheless, the fact that he is currently under siege does not change.
Even now, the Mwafes who had gathered under the commander of the guard were slowly suffocating.
‘You can get out. But George and Sanwoo… … !’
In fact, it wasn’t to the point where I felt my life was in danger.

Monsters couldn’t come out of the dungeon, so it was just a matter of jumping off the other side of the wall.However, there are other infiltrating personnel besides them.
If Soyoung and Illyana, who are in charge of long-distance support, are removed from here, there is no way to help the two remaining inside.
‘It’s the first thing I tell you.’
So-young urgently takes out the communicator to report to San-woo.
Kwaang!!
With the sound of an explosion shaking the fortress, red flames rose from the other side.
‘You succeeded in setting the arsenal!’
“Woah, ho!?”
At the untimely explosion, Mwape’s gaze shifted backwards for a moment.
“Soyoung, now.”
“yes!”
Iliana and Soyoung did not miss the opportunity.
They rushed towards the pre-determined junction point.
A few mwafes that I noticed too late blocked their path.
Even flying flies could not stop the owners of shooting skills.
Two arrows are pierced at the same time in the middle of the Mwape guard’s head.
However, another guard could not confirm that his comrade had fallen.
It was because another arrow hit him.
puck. puck. puck.
A group of Mwape, who had formed a weak square, collapses like dominoes.
Artel’s arrows have no mercy.
Soyoung was also an excellent archer, but she was always amazed by Illyana’s amazing skills.
‘After all, you’re Artel’s half-blood! tremendous… … !’
Even while running fast, there is no disturbance in breathing.
Flexibility to freely pull protesters in any position, and excellent positioning and situational judgment.
It was the complete opposite of the four-dimensional image of Haf Artel-senpai that I usually saw.
However, Illyana, who was the real party, had no idea.
Even while shooting Mwape to death, he just rolled his eyes and looked at the Sanwoo’s location.
At that time, Illyana’s vision came into view of two men fighting with the Mwafes.
After she pushed another Mwape down the wall and dropped it, blocking the way ahead.
“Soyoung, there you are.”
Without hesitation, he jumped over the fallen Mwape.
It was Mwape, who was holding her breath for a little bit, but she received the shock of Illyana, who had fallen after that, with her whole body.
“Boo…….”
It became a handful of ashes.
Soyoung couldn’t keep her mouth shut as it happened so quickly.
‘Oh My God. How could you think like that!?’
It was an unusual method in the world, but it wasn’t that she couldn’t.
“Ugh!!”
Soyoung approached Mwape, who was a little far away, and threw a heavy kick.
Only Mwape can’t stand the kick of a fighter who is considered to be the second best in Geumgangmun.
“Woohoo~~!!!”
It lands on Mwape’s body, which flew into the wall with a scream.
‘Is this real?’
An unbelievable way to do it yourself.
But without even being surprised, the senior calls her name in a hurry.
“Soyoung! Come quickly!!”
“Ah yes!!”
Soyoung brushed off the ashes that were rising from under her feet, and immediately followed Illyana.
* * *
Kwagwagwang!!
The lightning that wraps around the blade draws a straight line and cuts everything in its path.
The Mwafes tried to block my attack with a crudely made spear or something.
There was no way he could withstand the Lioner’s firepower.
“Woohoo!!!”

Mwafes scream and fall. Then a strong wind blew from the right.The airflow twists around Mwape’s body, which had been pierced by George’s rapier.
Wind whirling in a spiral.
The hit Mwape seemed to be suspended in mid-air for a while, and then crashed into the wall on the other side with great speed.
Even when the target is a monster, it has the destructive power that makes your bones shrivel.
‘When did you get so tall?’
Come to think of it, didn’t it create a tornado in the Golden Mine and inflict considerable damage to Arachne?
I was able to realize once again how much an elemental contract affects an individual’s strength.
‘By the way, now it’s time for the kids to join as well.’
“Sanwoo!!”
Afraid to think about it, two archers were running from a distance, waving their arms.
“George! I’ve joined the watchtower suppression team! Get ready to move!”
“Copy that!!”
The guy replied with a smirk, as if his confidence had risen through the continuous battle.
The only remaining operation was to enter the inside of the central fortress.
“Are you hurt anywhere?”
“yes!!”
I first checked the status of the two people who joined.
“Okay, then let’s get in!”
Now there is no time to delay. It was because the Mwafes were slowly coming together, and the Mwape archers with their bows were also standing on the wall.
“The central citadel is over there. Run before the arrows fly!”
“I’ll break the road!”
George, who had a high momentum, took the lead. The moment when the guards guarding the entrance to the central fortress hurriedly tried to block it.
【Ceylon!!!】
As Lioner’s voice resounded, a huge tornado erupted from George’s back.
bang!!
It was then that an arrow the size of a human was struck in front of George’s eyes.
“…!?”
In keeping with the Lioner’s warning, if the Spirit had not intervened, George would have suffered at least serious injuries.
Realizing that, the boy’s complexion turned pale.
“It’s a ballista! Get inside!”
That was the reason why Doris Fortress was treated as a strictly advanced dungeon.
No matter how systematically grouped, the attack power of a single Mwape individual is not that strong.
Unless he organized an archer army and poured arrows, it was not as powerful as the tarantulas as a single unit.
But when they start using the gimmicks of Doris Citadel, the story changes.
It is a fortress that humans built 300 years ago to fight against the forces of the demon king.
Because of this, there were still many Mercury weapons inside the fortress.
Ballistanas, water towers, and oil dams to repel personnel climbing walls.
“Coming again!!”
The demonstration of the ballistas installed on the side of the central fortress is pulled again.
Thanks to the positioning, everyone was able to escape safely this time.
bang!
The shock wave transmitted as the arrow hit the ground was enormous.
Dedede, that was not enough, the door of the central fortress was closing.
Behind them, a group of Mwape who had regrouped their forces was gathering, and a ballista with overwhelming destructive power was aiming from the sky.
If the gates were closed like this, let alone an attack, they might face a terrible end.
“shit!”
George, who had regained his momentum, continued to cut down the Mwafes that had gathered to protect the castle gate.
There was no stopping the gates from closing. Because the gate was lowered from a higher place than here.
Even if I barely get in, it’s unclear whether Soyoung and Illyana who follow me will be able to get in.
Then there is only one way.
I pulled out the Aradwa that had been secured behind my back.
Pachijik! Thunder spears vibrate humming as if responding to the lightning strikes all over the body.
I threw Aradwa at the gates with all my might.
Aradwa flew off with a shockwave that rips through the air and hit the gate.
Kwagwagwang!!!!
With the loud sound of thunder, the wooden gates were crushed at once.
“Now go in!”
Originally, they had to enter the central fortress and then lock the gates to prevent outside troops from entering.
‘If this happens, you should break it.’
The gates that could not be fully opened, turned to dust.
George, who was leading the way, entered the central fortress, followed by me, Illyana, and finally Soyoung.
Once inside the fortress, there was no need to worry about being intercepted by the ballista.
“What now!? The door is broken, so you’re under siege?”
“Breaking or not, being surrounded was the same.”
After calming down the fussing George, I looked at Soyoung and Iliana.
“How many arrows do you both have left?”
“I think there are about twenty left.”
If it’s only inside the castle, you might not know, but considering the mwape camped outside, the quantity is not enough.
“Then, Soyoung, hand all the remaining arrows to Iliana.”
“yes!?”
“Anyway, the gates have been opened, and it is only a matter of time before the main force led by the guards enters. So, here, we divide into two groups.”
“You’re splitting into two groups again?”
Soyoung said, expressing her curiosity.
In fact, according to the original strategy, while the main force could not open the gate and stare blankly, I was planning to take it easy and catch the boss.
However, as the premise disappeared, the boss attack time had to be shortened.
“Because this is an outdoor dungeon, you can’t outrun the monsters just because you enter the boss room. Rather, you can be attacked by a boss in front and a normal monster in the back.”
“ah…….”
“So the roles of the two of you, Soyoung and George, are very important to the changed operation. Do you still have the communicator?”
“Yeah, it’s okay.”
“Illiana and I will run straight to the boss room like this. You two will only go halfway together, then exit the central corridor to the right.”
“What’s in there?”
When George asked a question, I nodded and answered.
“I have a ballista.”
The gist of the operation was this.
While Ilyana and Illiana are fighting the boss, George and Soyoung occupy the Ballista Battery.
Although the monsters were stationed there, if it was the skills of George and Soyoung, it would have been enough to occupy them.
Directly intercepting the boss using the occupied ballista was the core of the changed operation.
The boss room was directly visible from the wall where Ballista was located.
‘It’s also a standard attack for beginners. Before entering the boss room, hit him with a ballista to reduce his stamina.’
When I added an appropriate explanation, George and Soyoung, who understood what I meant, clenched their fists.
“Okay! Leave it to me!”
“No matter how confident Soyoung is in martial arts, the only one who has a weapon is you, George. You have to take good care of it.”
“Don’t worry about that.”
As soon as he was informed of the changed strategy, a scream of excitement began to be heard from outside the castle gate.
“Woah! Ooh! Ooh!”
“Looks like you’ve already come close. There’s no time to delay. Go up right away!”
We quickly climbed the stairs of the central citadel.
Then, monsters that are clearly different from the Mwafes I’ve seen so far block my way.
Not a coarsely woven short spear, but a spear with forged blades.
The Mwafes, who even pretended to be elite soldiers, wore well-woven leather or chain armor.
He was a member of the Empersia’s bodyguard.
“The armament is a completely different dimension!”
George, who was opening the road ahead of him, is dazzled by the sharply piercing spear and retreats.
Due to the nature of the weapon, the three swordsmen are inevitably close to each other.
It doesn’t matter if it’s one-on-one, but if it’s even a little systematic, it’s helpless.
However, Illyana, who can attack from a distance, tried to shoot arrows.
I grabbed her wrist and stopped her. Because I couldn’t waste arrows on an enemy like that.
“Sanwoo…?”
“Save the arrows. I’ll take care of this place.”
I swung Aradwa round and round, looking at the bodyguards who formed a tight line.
‘The closer the interval, the better it seems to be for testing.’
It wasn’t just that they built an underground village during vacation.
Another skill with Arad, created with great care and attention with the Lioner.
【Are you going with that?】
Lioner must have thought similarly to me, so I could hear his voice clearly in my head.
“OK!!”
I jumped into the air, swinging my spear, and then hit the floor.
The Lioner said, commonly known as ‘Thunder Quake’.
One shot is enough to destroy the ironclad defense.
“Eat this!!!”
Blue sparks erupted wildly from the speared floor toward the guards.
