The Swordsman Called the Countless Swords Sorcerer

"Proceed quickly! Quickly!"

"Hello! That's my luggage!

"Hurry up! I'll close the gate soon! Give up your luggage and go inside!"

"Mr. Guard, that's not it! I'm going bankrupt if you leave it!"

"My wife! I have no wife! Please wait!"

"I'm sorry! What do you do if a monster comes here?"

The West Gate where the Ardis arrived was at the height of confusion.

A farmer who stops working in the field and tries to get past the gate. A merchant trying to push a carriage into a safe city somehow. A guard who wants to close the gate as soon as possible and hurries the people. There is a lot of shouting and shrieking around here and there. A small number of people fled from Leitin and fled west, further disrupting the flow of people.

"Well, in time?"

Ted reaches the side of the relief gate and breathes.

The confusion at the west gate is terrible, but at least the gate is still open. Even though the Aldis are skilled mercenaries, they will not be able to stay here once the gates are closed. You will not be lagging behind the beasts and demons that appear in the prairie, but as human beings, they need rest and sleep and, above all, have less food on hand.

"It's bad, the gates are about to close. Let's hurry, Ted!"

"That would be better. A small flock is heading here."

"Ugh, have you come already?"

Ted frowns, following Aldis's gaze. It may have overflowed from the crowd surrounding the East Gate. The shadow of a beast running on four legs was approaching.

The guards guarding the gates also noticed it and immediately set up a platoon to prepare for interception. But behind it, there is still a line of people waiting to pass through the gate. In this way, those who have no fight will be in danger.

"Prepare for interception! Never pass behind! I will stand up to contain the inhabitants!"

An elder soldier, like a commander, raises his voice.

"But captain! We alone ...!"

A soldier near me squeezes words. Less than a hundred soldiers are nominally deployed to evacuate residents. Moreover, unlike mercenaries who have always been in battle, the army of Laitin, who has long been in peace, has few soldiers who have experienced combat.

Certainly, there are more soldiers than swarms of beasts approaching the west gate. However, protecting the vulnerable population from the herd of beasts is much more difficult than simply overcoming. In addition, the number of beasts approaching was increasing at a glance. If the number exceeds two hundred, even pure victory or defeat will be suspicious.

"Do not say"

"Captain ..."

"I know what you mean. But we are a proud member of the Ratingin army. If we were to protect and protect our people now, what would we be for?"

An elderly soldier, called captain, looks around his men. But the faces of the soldiers remained blue.

"Yeah. I usually do that, so I have to show my power at those times."

Byakuya The leader of No-Meisei, who was listening with a disturbing face, pinched his mouth from the side.

"Mata Ted needs extra help ..."

Behind him, Norris was slurping with a smile that was not reminiscent of a stupid tone.

"A mercenary?"

A soldier standing next to the captain turns a surprise look at Ted.

"I'd like you to help me if I can, but I'm not getting a request from the country ... I guess you won't move if you don't have a reward?"

"Okay, I can't decide. I'll help you get some time."

It's no wonder that Ted's words make the soldiers round their eyes. Mercenaries just want to work. It was a little different from the mercenaries known to soldiers.

"I'll decide again on my own ..."

The bullish orfelia show off her expression.

Of course, neither Norris nor Orphelia speak out and say nothing against Ted's decision. Violent At first glance, they are proud of their leaders who cannot seem to abandon those who do and the weak. That was Aldiz's known party, “The Mystery of the White Nights”.

"What do you mean? Maybe you can help fight the beast?"

The elder captain comes forward one step behind a soldier who looks incredible.

"Of course, I'm not going to be abandoned, but I'm only getting the time to close the gate."

"... I can't give a reward if I'm alone?"

It seems Ted wasn't convinced, and the captain asked him to remind him.

"I don't care. Can you treat me as much as you want?"

"Huh, is it coming? ... I'm glad I'll treat you with a delicious dish."

The old soldiers can tear down the aged face.

"Okay, decided! Norris! Orphelia! Aldis! That's why I'm a bit sweaty before returning to town!"

The strong man looked back at his friends.

"I can't help it."

"What's that ?. Listen to us for a moment."

"all right"

The reply of the tripartite flies to the friendly leader.

"I'm sorry. I'm grateful. If two sorcerers are on our side, there's nothing more encouraging."

After looking at Orphelia and Aldis, the captain seemed to judge them as magicians.

"How long should I earn?"

Aldis asked the captain. While doing so, the herd of beasts is approaching. I don't have time to talk gracefully.

"It's about fifteen minutes."

Watching the row of people rushing to the West Gate, the captain decides.

"I understand. That's enough."

Aldis turns, not only to say that there is nothing else to check.

At first glance, the herd of beasts was quite close. Carnivores such as Grass Wolf and Coyote, which have fast feet, make up the leading group, followed by Snatch and Green Knife.

At a glance, the number is two hundred. Given the ever-increasing number of shadows, it is likely that more beasts have gathered than when the Ardiss saw the East Gate. The beast overflowing from the east gate is flowing along the wall to the west gate.

"Aldis asks for the left, Orferia asks for the right."

"I got it"

Ted prompts the members.

"Norris takes down the one he's been attacked by magic. I--

"Don't sneak in, because it's time to get the gate closed."

"I know. Aldis isn't going too far! I just need to earn time!"

"... Well, what is Ted really about me?"

"Aldis! The wasteful talk will come later!"

The intercepted Aldis lightly claps his tongue and faces the oncoming herd of beasts. The bow and arrow have not yet arrived, but were already within range of the attack magic.

Purgatory flame "Furious red is born in the trajectory of intense flame, and the sigh of an old dragon ---!"

The fire created by Orpheria hits the coyote herd directly. Unable to avoid the burning fire that suddenly appeared, the scorched coyote's body fell on the ground one after another.

"Wow ..."

"Is this the power of advanced attack magic ..."

Surprising voices come from soldiers who first witnessed magical destruction.

Of course, there are sorcerers in the Ratingen army, but they rarely show their destructive power in a peaceful world. Unlike training swords and arrows, you can't use attack magic for allies in your exercises. Aside from elementary magic, it's no surprise that most soldiers who have never entered the battlefield see advanced attack magic for the first time.

Arctic storm "The shining blue is endless and eternal time and silence dancing in a phantom land ----!"

Frozen Aldis then released a frigid wind that could take advantage of everything. A gust of white snow wraps around the grasswolf.

The limbs were sprinting, and the glass wolf frozen and crouched on the spot. Suddenly, my whole body was wrapped in ice and stopped working.

"Oh! If this is ...!"

Depressed soldiers' faces are brightened by the overwhelming disadvantage.

But the herd of beasts was still rushing. Once again, the magic of the Aldis and the others will dig through it, but eventually Orfelia begins to feel tired.

"Huh, huh ... It's about to reach the limit. The upper level is about to go one more time."

"It's okay! The inhabitants will soon be taken away! Give me another minute!"

The captain confirmed the evacuation situation and raised his voice. Around them, soldiers are holding swords and spears to stop the beast that has come through the magic.

No matter how advanced attack magic, it is difficult to cover a wide area at once. The beasts who escaped the magical hits are also captured one after another by Norris' bow, but a small number still reach the soldiers.

"Keep the beasts away from the magicians!"

The soldiers rallied around Aldis and Orphelia, guarding the evacuees. Ted is buried as soon as the occasional “Beast King” and other beasts that can escape the defense of soldiers. With the work of Mystery of the White Night, soldiers were always able to confront the beast with an overwhelming majority.

"Okay! The evacuation seems to be complete! We will be withdrawing!"

It seems that the evacuation of residents has ended. As the captain issues an order to withdraw, the Ardiss begin to retreat. Aldis fires a purgatory fire instead of a souvenir, and rushes from the west gate to the town of Leiting as soldiers withdraw.

When the west gate was closed by guards and the chasing beasts had been driven away, the west sky had already been dyed in bright red.
