39. Mission Type, Defense (4)

Aaron opened his mouth.

“What is that!”

“Is this your first time seeing it?”

but. It’s my first time actually seeing it.

I scratched the shield with my sword. There was a sharp sound of metal rubbing.

“Don’t be scared, everyone! That pig has a brain and a heart. If you poke it, it will die.”

“Better than hundreds of goblins!”

ping!

Instantly, Jenna fired an arrow.

The arrow that was fired while spinning deeply pierced the ogre’s lower abdomen.

“Kuaa!”

The ogre spat and roared and walked away as if nothing had happened. With every step he took, he dug a mound of dirt. Jenna scratched her cheek and laughed.

“Isn’t it? Are goblins better?”

“If you kill me, you’ll know.”

I looked back.

All three seem nervous, but there is no sign of fear.

If so, good. If you do your part, you can clear enough.

“Attention! Divide roles. Iolka, you spread a wall of flame near the dam.”

“A wall of fire?”

“We’re not going to let the goblins get close until reinforcements come.”

“I can, but what about that monster?”

“I’ll take care of that pig. Aaron, you protect Iolka. Jenna, you see the situation and help either me or Aaron. You decide.”

“yes.”

“all right!”

“To the power position.”

Iolka ran to the riverside facing the bank and started casting.

Quickly, Aaron followed and removed the bolt flying towards Iolka.

Jenna, who plays the middle bridge, is watching the situation while feeding arrows to the protest.

I picked up a stone from the riverside and threw it at the ogre’s face.

The ogre frowned in displeasure and approached me.

I drew the sword from its scabbard and put on my shield.

“Quoooooooo!”

With a scream, the ogre struck down the sledgehammer.

Dodge by rolling your feet lightly. The destructive power of the sledgehammer sent piles of dirt and mud flying high into the sky.

‘If I get hit by one, I’ll go to the goal.’

A shield is also useful only when its power is appropriate to a certain extent.

Digging through the mud, I dodged the swinging sledgehammer by jumping backwards.

ping!

Zena’s second arrow pierced the deltoid muscle of the ogre’s right shoulder.

“Kiaaa!”

Goblins began to flock to the dam.

【Ignite!】

Roaring!

Flames ran across the river and between the goblins. The goblins hesitated in front of the wall of flame. Without missing it, Aaron’s spear pierced the goblin’s head.

Iolka continues to chant the spell with her eyes closed.

It’s not about shooting fire, it’s about sustaining it. Even in the pouring rain, the flames did not lose their momentum and burned fiercely.

The ogre retrieved the sledgehammer and shook his shoulder.

The arrow stuck in the muscle gap came out smoothly. As she prepared her third arrow, Jenna cursed at her.

“It’s like a muscle monster.”

“If it’s not a vital point, it won’t work. Don’t waste your arrows.”

“Where is the vital point?”

“You’ll have to decide for yourself!”

I rolled forward like a plunge. The sledgehammer hit the spot where I was and smashed it to pieces. He immediately stood up and swung his long sword. Blood streaks flew from the ogre’s right arm.

The ogre swung the sledgehammer aside, not caring. he dodged

‘It’s hard to cut deeply if you don’t get the right posture.’

I glanced to the side.

Although Aaron is working hard, he cannot guarantee how long he will be able to protect Iolka. The goblins who grasped the situation were changing their pattern from a melee attack to a long-range attack. They fired bolts and those without crossbows threw stones. Even one hit by Iolka, whether it’s a bolt or a stone, would upset the balance.

‘Take the risk.’

The ogre raised the sledgehammer and struck it down.

With my knees half-bent, I burrowed into the ogre’s body. As the tip of the hammer was about to crush the back of his head, he raised his shield and pulled his left hand. It was blocked by spilling.

Quagga Gagagak!

An intense impact that seemed to break bones struck his left hand. Ignore the pain. He slipped under the ogre’s feet and grabbed his hilt briefly.

I drove the tip of the sword into the ogre’s crotch with a lot of strength in my right hand.

The feeling of something crushing shook my hand.

‘This guy was a man.’

A trickle of blood flowed between her legs. He drew his sword and quickly came downstairs.

“Koooooooo!”

The ogre screamed. He went on a rampage, swinging his sledgehammer in all directions. It wasn’t aiming at a target and swinging, it was just a struggle to overcome the pain.

I moved a few yards away from him.

As I turned my left arm, a sharp pain rose from the depths. It seemed to have broken her bones. She didn’t break though. She could write somehow.

“Quo, kuaaa!”

The ogre, unable to tell the difference, struck a sledgehammer and turned several goblins to bloody clots.

ping!

At that moment, one of Xena’s arrows pierced the ogre’s left eye.

The ogre let go of the sledgehammer and went mad. He spun around in his seat and jumped up and down.

“after.”

After running up, I dug into the ogre. As he pulled his upper body back, the ogre’s log-like fist grazed the bridge of his nose. go back in The ogre’s back bent. A gap was visible between the iron plate covering his left chest.

I firmly gripped the hilt and drove my sword towards the guy’s heart. The bulging pectoralis major muscle prevented the invasion of the blade. I twisted the sword and inserted it. I felt the pulse of my heart from the tip of my sword.

Pooh!

When he drew his sword, a fountain of blood gushed out through the cracks in the iron plate.

thud!

The ogre’s huge body lay down in the mud.

Bloody rain water splashed up to my waist.

“Kiyi…”

The goblins who watched this spectacle hesitated.

I spit out the rainwater that got into my mouth and approached them. Jenna raised her voice just as she was about to separate the upper and lower bodies of a guy.

“brother!”

“What?”

“I think there’s one more!”

As soon as Jenna finished speaking, a heavy sound shook the ground.

I broke the goblin’s head with the shield in my left hand and retreated. Between the pouring rain, a thick body appeared.

“Calm down. Just handle it like you did before.”

“By the way, isn’t that child a bit strange?”

“Strange?”

The ogre gazed intently at the corpses of his kin in the rain, then turned his gaze toward the dam where the wall of flame spread.

“It’s lure.”

“yes!”

Jenna’s arrow lodged in his armpit.

“Kuaaa!”

The ogre looked back at Xena and roared.

“That’s right. To me…”

The ogre lowered his lower body and started running toward the dam.

‘Damn it.’

“Stop!”

ping!

A second arrow pierced the ogre’s calf. The ogre let out his snort and continued running.

Goblins in the path were flattened or bounced away.

“Did that bastard turn!”

A wall of flame may block a goblin, but it won’t pierce the thick ogre hide.

I threw away my shield and ran towards him with my sword gripped. But it’s slow. do not reach

“Aaron, don’t let me go to the dam!”

Aaron blocked the ogre. A spear pierced his knee. The ogre sprinted past Aaron, screaming in pain.

‘Are you saying you’re going to destroy it whether or not you search for it!’

An unexpected thug appeared.

Jenna quickly approached the ogre and climbed the armor onto her back. Jenna drew her dagger and held it in her reverse hand, repeatedly ramming her blade between the ogre’s neck and shoulder and into the trapezius muscle.

hooked! hooked! hooked! hooked!

“Kaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

“Um, what is that guy!”

Iolka hastily stopped the cast and ran to the side.

The ogre ran toward the dam, ignoring all the goblins, rocks, and fire.

‘late.’

“Come down.”

Jenna did a somersault and fell off the ogre.

The ogre that had broken through the river crashed into the middle of the dam. shit. With a crackling sound, a large hole was opened in the dam and the water flowed out.

“…”

The water level of the river began to rise.

It was only then that the sound of horses hooves turning over the ground echoed from the 7th floor.

“Kyaro!”

I thrust my sword into the goblin’s mouth. The blade pierced the tongue and came out the back of the neck.

this guy is the last one The ogre, who had performed his mission, was swept away by the current of the river and disappeared somewhere. I muttered as I kicked the fallen corpse.

“You failed.”

“then…….”

“Let’s go back. It’s time to make the second plan.”

Do you have a second plan?

I simply shook my head.

Without reinforcements, 370 people would have to stop more than 3,000 goblins.

I gritted my teeth. I missed work because of an unimaginable madman. But I can’t sit still here. With or without it, you have to find a way. I retrieved the shield and hung it on my back.

The sound of the horses’ hooves grew louder, but the river was rapidly expanding.

not in time I barely swallowed the sigh that was trying to come out of my throat. said Iolka.

“Wait.”

“What.”

【Draste Syradus.】

Iolka’s eyes flashed blue.

A rock beside the river was lifted up in a flash.

【Move!】

At Iolka’s gesture, the rock rose into the air and crashed into a crack in the dam.

The water that had been pouring through the hole quickly cleared. Iolka ran through her wet hair and she laughed.

“Hey you…….”

“Psychokinesis is the foundation of magic. Heh, didn’t you know?”

“If you have anything like that, tell me quickly!”

“A mission that would have failed without me…!”

Iolka stumbled and tried to fall.

Aaron ran quickly and helped him.

“Thank you. You have manners. Unlike anyone else. I… kiak!”

I pulled Iolka’s cheek.

“Who told you to hide your powers, huh? I’m sure they told you to use all the magic you know how to do.”

“You’re a mabuby, so maha hi-yo is going to be something!”

“it’s okay.”

When I let go of my cheeks, Iolka glared at me with tears in her eyes.

“Anyway, thanks to you, I survived. Thank you for that. Everyone maintenance. Drink the potion.”

After moving to the shade of the last tree, we rearranged ourselves.

I brushed the mud off my clothes and drank the potion. Iolka was more tired than she could have imagined, and her complexion was drawn. He tried to vomit several times while drinking the magic potion.

“I wish it would stop raining.”

Jenna said as she squeezed the hem of her dress.

Water poured out of the hem.

The sound of horses’ hooves was right in front of them.

A cavalryman on horseback in the lead waved a red flag with a lion on it.

Hundreds of horsemen then stormed out of the woods. Plate armor covering the entire body. A healthy horse does not slow down while running through mud.

“All forward! Show the majesty of the iron cavalry!”

“Captain, Kang…”

“What do you know? Cross!”

“Yes! Everyone Doha!”

Starting from the rider, he began to leave his body in the river.

Even the mighty waters of the river did not stop the cavalry’s gallop.
