"Enemy attack!"
"Enemy attack!"
clang! Clank!
On the tallest tower of the Aia outpost, the guards shouted loudly while ringing the big alarm bell.
The loud bell echoed throughout the outpost, and everyone took action.
Ballistas were pushed up to the firing holes of the city wall, and on the highest inner city wall, catapults were also torn off by the guards.
The cloth made entirely of cowhide fell heavily at Etelina's feet.
boom!
Amidst the muffled noise, Etrina was awakened.
She looked at the dark monster rushing like a wave in disbelief.
In the end, a bitterness appeared on her lips.
Is this my punishment
At the bottom of her heart, Etrina thought silently.
But that didn't make the priestess of the Temple of Thorns drop everything.
Not until the last moment...
She will never give up!
"The archers are divided into three teams!"
"Pikemen are divided into two teams!"
"Shield!"
"Soldier, take up your shield and stand before your fellow soldiers!"
Etelina turned around and shouted loudly to the soldiers in the post.
To Etelina's relief, the already well-trained outpost soldiers and the elite temple knights left behind became faster and more stable after she joined them.
"There are 150 permanent soldiers stationed at the Aia post, 400 reserve and auxiliary troops, and 100 elite knights left by the temple. Complete, with ballistas and catapults, can build a very good fortification."
Aitlina calculated in general terms.
She didn't take out the militiamen, firehead troops, etc., which should not be counted.
Because, at this time, only more people can make her feel at ease.
Of course, the most secure thing for Etelina is the outpost under her feet.
Aiya outpost, it is said to be an outpost, but it can actually be called a small city.
Not only is the city wall tall and strong, but it also has a distinction between inside and outside.
Aya's Post played an indelible role in the confrontation with the lords of the Plains of Yot, but...
That's just against enemies who are also human beings!
Facing the enemy who was a monster, Aitelina didn't have much confidence.
But now she has no choice.
The monster's speed was beyond her imagination.
She clenched the saber in her hand, her eyes fixed on the wave of monsters that were getting closer.
Then…
She noticed something was wrong.
Those running monsters didn't have the ferocious feeling of an imminent attack, but rather panic and fear.
what happened
Estelina was taken aback.
"Lookout!"
she shouted.
In fact, without Etherina's orders, the best lookout at Aya's outpost was already observing this somewhat unusual team of monsters.
And soon, he saw the unusual reason.
"Your Excellency Etrina, it seems that someone is chasing these monsters!"
"chase?"
"Who is it?"
Hearing the watchman's words, Etelina asked impatiently. At the same time, she widened her eyes again, hoping to see who it was.
But it's a pity that her eyesight is not outstanding, and without the support of Ms. Thorn, she is even more unable to find that target.
However, this did not prevent Aitelina from giving accurate orders.
"attack!"
"Archers, scatter freely!"
Estelina yelled loudly.
Whoosh, whoosh!
Arrows soared high into the sky, and then fell down like rain.
In an instant, the monsters rushing densely fell down.
For the entire group of monsters, such a number is not large, and it can even be said that they cannot afford to make a single wave.
Scattering again and again.
The first team of archers has already stepped down the city wall to rest, and the second team of archers has drawn their longbows for the second time.
Every one of them looked at the monster with excitement and hostility.
For the soldiers and knights defending the city, their staying here already showed that they decided to use their lives to delay the monsters.
They didn't expect to be alive.
They just hoped to delay the monsters for a while longer.
Let the team with hope go a little further.
Make their deaths worthwhile.
Let them hold their heads high when they return to the Kingdom of God.
Belief!
is the source of everything!
For living in an age of pantheon, all this is taken for granted.
However, they wouldn't mind if there was an unexpected rescue.
This will not affect their 'merit' in the slightest.
and…
This attack method is really too beautiful.
The panicked monsters didn't attack the city, they only knew how to escape. They were completely in no danger, just like shooting a target in a drill.
Whoosh whoosh!
Another rain of arrows fell.
But different from before, this time as the monster fell to the ground, a figure appeared from among the monster.
Metal, weird war horses, and black crow feather trench coats dance in the wind.
In the crimson and dazzling flames, roars full of coercion and fear went straight to the sky.
Etelina, who had been staring into the distance, was completely stunned when she saw that figure.
"Ly, Ryan?!"
"This, how is this possible?!"
The priestess of the Temple of Thorns stammered.
She seemed to be in disbelief that she could still see that figure.
Similarly, the defenders who heard the priestess' words were all stunned.
but!
Some people were not dumbfounded.
Grail thieves such as Melzer and Pilker, as well as 'Green Stone' killers.
Under the control of [Mesli's Ring], the former instantly sensed who it was.
The latter found his own commander in Tiqi's secret technique.
A dozen figures rushed out of the city wall just like that.
They are like apes and civet cats, and the towering city walls have no stopping power for professionals like them.
They kept walking.
Like an arrow leaving the string, it rushed towards the black figure.
All the dark monsters encountered along the way were slaughtered one by one by these dozens of figures.
It's not the way knights fight head-to-head, but the small and weird assassination techniques that thieves and killers are good at.
A dagger, a short sword, three or five darts, flying knives, and several bottles of poisons with different effects.
Eyes, throat, heart, lower body.
There are no redundant attacks.
There was no hesitation either.
When turning over deftly, the monster that had just rushed over suddenly fell to the ground, and the foul-smelling liquid from its throat erupted like a fountain.
With a neat rollover, the roaring monster turned into a wail, with pierced eyes, making it madly attack everything around it.
finally
Poison takes away its life when it rests.
The people on the city wall stared at this team dumbfounded. They thought it was a silent, weird team that didn't listen to anyone's orders.
Watching them harvesting the lives of monsters very easily, tearing through the defense lines, they came to the black figure.
Watch them get down on one knee.
Watching them bow their heads.
Watching them obediently cry out—
"grown ups!"
