In general, a gorge refers to a terrain consisting of narrow and deep valleys.
However, the red canyon had a slightly different structure from that geological definition.
Although there were hundreds of valleys made up of rocky mountains, there was also a large plain-like land in between them.
On top of that, Endymion’s wizards continued to spray anti-army magic.
Gurgling-!
Lightning struck and a huge firestorm swept the battlefield.
Grumbling!
The atmosphere boiled all at once, and the monsters caught up in the storm evaporated without leaving a single bone fragment behind.
Hahahaha!
Immediately after, a cold rush came from somewhere.
A cold chill spread over the earth that had begun to melt.
Ice and wind.
The two types of magic came together violently, causing a phenomenon reminiscent of Blizzard.
A chill that could freeze your bones in an instant, and a heat that would evaporate even your blood.
Energy of different natures continued to rage behind the monsters.
Kyaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!
Even if it were steel, it would not be able to withstand repeated freezing and thawing without stopping, much less the fabric of monsters.
Blah, blah, blah!
Several monsters with hard outer shells were unable to withstand the aftereffects of the great army’s magic and fell.
The number of Grand Army magics that fell like that was dozens.
Rumbling!
Huge rock mountains collapsed without stopping due to the shock waves that poured out. The debris continued to pour down, threatening the heads of the monsters.
Coogggggggeuung-.
Amidst the dust rising high, the bodies of monsters crushed by the remains of rocks were hanging down.
Kieeeh… … .
The blood and bodily fluids that burst out soaked the area.
Its power was so great that the map of the area had to be rewritten after the battle was over.
These are magics that are powerful enough to erase several divisions in the blink of an eye if you make up your mind and pour them out.
However, what is surprising is that the momentum and number of rampaging monsters have not decreased in the slightest.
“Spirit of flame!”
“come in! Come in! “Kak tsk-!”
Russell muttered to himself as he glanced at the battlefield, where the fighting situation was gradually accelerating.
‘Is it impossible to use any more Grand Army magic…? … .’
There was a possibility that the fairies would get involved if they used the wrong hand.
The commander of the punitive force must have thought the same thing. Niccolo Machiavelli shouted.
“stop! Everyone, from this moment on, I will ban the use of Grand Army magic!”
Perhaps because of his position as commander, his tone was slightly different from usual.
“Strangers of Endymion, prepare for a fierce battle from now on!”
At the same time, a majestic cry filled with magical power spread through the ears of the subjugation team members.
“The priority goal is to drive out the monsters and protect the fairies—and our allies!”
He, who changed the way his magic was deployed, jumped down into the middle of the melee.
His voice rang out half a beat later.
“Everyone rush in!”
.
.
The melee that began afterwards was overwhelming in everything except the difference in numbers.
It has to be that way.
Endymion was one of the only great powers on the continent.
It was they who sent the greatest number of troops from Endymion.
Is there any way that tens of thousands of monsters can be my opponent?
Flash!
The moment when sharp sword energy flashes from the sword of a master-level Auror practitioner!
Slowly, slowly!
The body of the monster Senut caught at the end was cut off in an instant.
Patter!
The fallen intestines and pieces of flesh soaked the floor.
Slurp-.
Tower-level magicians unleashed their magic by trampling on the six pieces with their shoes.
The fire that started from the shoe sole consumed the surrounding area, growing in size, and began to rise using pieces of internal organs as a medium.
Daria Snowwhite.
Originality.
Dwarves of firewood.
Hwa-rak, Hwa-rak, Hwa-rak!
Vermilion, Hubert, and Russell.
As soon as the three executioners started using their magic, the dwarves holding the flame spears immediately began chopping up the monsters around them.

The fire was lit here and there, burning everywhere.
As if that wasn’t enough, several of them tangled together and formed a gigantic shape.
‘Transformer, the giant king of firewood-!’
Wow!!!!!
‘Shock bolt-!’
─Pagit!
Chwiiikik-!
Russell muttered as if he was fed up after using a simple spell to pierce the black orc that was trying to come after him.
“What number-.”
It wasn’t enough to pour out that much anti-army magic, and it seemed like several hours had already passed since the melee began.
But the number of monsters doesn’t seem to have decreased much… … .
Russell stuck out his tongue, feeling disgusted and even disgusted at the sight of monsters constantly rushing in like c*ckroaches.
Where on earth are so many monsters coming from? No matter how much you think about it, it makes no sense to regard it as a natural occurrence.
Aside from the grumbling, Russell’s hands moved non-stop.
Build up magical power with imagery and embody it in the material world.
Fire net and thunder net.
A net of lightning and flames poured out from left and right, sweeping the entire area.
Damn it!
After seeing that the large monsters were instantly reduced to charcoal and collapsed, Russell unleashed another magic he had prepared.
Wedge-!
Dozens of fire bolts decorate the night sky like fiery arrows, and then fall down.
It pierced the forehead and hearts of the monsters at the point of impact.
Bubble bubbling!
‘Huh, even though Fire Bolt is the magic of that circle… … .’
‘If you use that number, it’s likely that a few shots will miss the target.’
‘Not a single thing goes astray.’
‘It’s a surprisingly sophisticated magical manipulation ability.’
A skill that would be admired not only by wizards but also by Auror practitioners who are relatively illiterate in magic.
However, Russell, who actually displayed such a talent, did not look proud at all, and only frowned.
‘There will be no end to this.’
If this continues, there will be no end even if we fight for three days and three nights.
‘With so many monsters flocking in, we were only pushed back this far.’
Aside from the fact that the fairy tribe’s leadership feels amazing, it’s even questionable whether that’s possible.
It was then.
“Go! “The sun is rising!”
A dwarf wielding a huge axe, one in each hand, shouted in a loud voice.
Many fairies raised their heads at the shout. I shouted happily as I caught a glimpse of the bright eastern sky in the distance.
“The sun is rising!”
“Hold on just a little longer!”
“Spirit of the wind, give us strength!”
Morale rose on the faces of the fairies, who were full of exhaustion.
The characters on Endymion’s side looked puzzled by the inexplicable change.
“I don’t know what the sunrise has to do with why they like it.”
“That’s right. Priests.”
Hubert and Vermillion exchanged words with expressions of incomprehension.
“The monster is not undead and there is no way there will be a change just because the sun rises… … .”
-Doo doo doo doo!
It was then.
Some of the monsters that were rushing forward like crazy changed direction.
“!?”
Starting with that, many monsters turned their bodies.
They barked as they rushed in the opposite direction from which they had been pushed.
It was a scene completely opposite to the one that used to come in like a rising tide.
“… … “What on earth is going on?”
Amelia Merwin muttered with a blank face at the unbelievable sight.
Nicolo also doesn’t understand the situation.
Leaving behind them in confusion, the battlefield began to stabilize little by little.
* * *
Hahahaha!
As soon as bright sunlight appeared beyond the rocky mountain, the monsters that had come from all directions, dividing the line between sunlight and darkness, disappeared.
Some of the slow-moving ones were easily eliminated by the alliance between Endymion and the fairies.
Puff, Puff, Puff-.
Oh my gosh-!
As several spears of flame penetrated its shell, the body of the giant turtle-shaped monster finally collapsed with a scream.
widely-.
Russell tilted his head as he jumped from the creature’s shell to the ground.
‘That’s strange?’
I have faced monsters of the same species even before the sun rose.
But somehow, the strength of the shell seemed to be much weaker than before.
If the shell I felt during the night was a hard rock, now it felt soft like rain-soaked mud.
When I returned after finishing off the remaining monsters, I saw Nicolo talking to people who seemed to be representatives of the fairy tribe.
“thank you. “Thanks to the help of Endymion’s heroes, we were able to get through this night without any major damage.”
The first person to speak was a female elf equipped with a bow on her back as large as her body.
I remember him because of the way he created a huge storm with a single arrow.
His apparent age appears to be in his late 20s, but considering the lifespan of elves, he must have been hundreds of years old.
‘Speaking as a representative means that you are at least an elder of the elves, or a person with master level skills… … .’
He was an elf with an impressive hair color that was slightly lighter than that of other elves.
Starting with the elves, representatives of the dwarves and feather tribes also came forward and added a word.
“We dwarves may be short, but we never forget kindness. “Thank you very much.”
“We, the Feather clan, will remember today’s blessings until the day all of our clan’s feathers fall out.”
Nicolo waved his hand at the sight of them bowing their heads politely towards the group.
“We were just doing the natural thing to help our allies, more than that… … .”
He turned around, shaking his head. A land full of monster corpses, beyond.
I asked, catching a glimpse of the direction in which they had gone like the ebb and flow.
“Could you please explain a little?”
The others in Endymion also had the same view, because they still did not understand the current situation.
.
.
After some time of short explanation.
“Somehow, the monsters become more powerful at night and rush in, but then disappear again when the sun rises…? … .”
The elf who represented him nodded at Nicolo’s muttering, a look that could not be found in ordinary monsters.
“yes. “We still don’t understand the reason.”
It evolved that way because it was sealed in Tartarus for a long time, but there was no way the fairies of the Great Forest knew about it.
“hmm. In that case, if the monsters attacked during the day when they were weak… … .”
One of the knights looking around muttered, and Russell shook his head.
“That couldn’t have been possible.”
“… … ?”
The number of visible fairies is about five thousand. Among them, the number of warriors who can fight is not even half.
“Not only would it have been exhausting to block the attack because the number was so small, but we would also have had to take care of the wounded and reorganize the front line during the day.”
“Indeed, I see… … .”
The driver looked around once and nodded. As said, the number of injured was not small.
All daylight hours would have had to be used to treat them.
“It’s just as you said.”
The elf who represented it affirmed those words.
“The reason the cordon is still maintained is because of their aggressiveness toward living things.”
“… … Aggression toward living things?”
The elf nodded towards Amelia Merwin, who was questioning in a weak voice.
“yes. I wonder if he hates all living things that aren’t monsters… … Rather than spreading out to the surrounding area, they are only persistently attacking nearby fairy tribes.”
Even though all the fairies had formed an alliance, their numbers were far from sufficient to form a line of resistance against the monsters.
Even in such a situation, that would be the only reason why the monsters have not yet reached Endymion.
It would not be easy to push them back to the main forest with this number.
“In the end, we have no choice but to hold out until the 5th and 7th Corps arrive.”
Nicolo said that and sighed. At that time, the representative of the elf tribe took a step forward.
He approached Russell and kissed his lips.
“however… … “Is that human over there actually Russell Raymond?”
“Do you know me?”
She smiled brightly and nodded at Russell, who tilted his head.
“sure. “I’ve heard this from Io several times.”
“… … ?”
“Oh, by the way, I’m late in greeting Endymion’s heroes. I’m Arain. “He is the leader of the White Ash Tree Tribe and one of the Meneurs of the elves living in the Great Forest.”
He concluded by placing his palm on his chest.
“Personally, I am Io’s mother.”
