Chapter 711,
Chapter 180. Each fight (1)
* * *
When Jin left the battlefield due to Dipus’ dimension shift, the remaining colleagues in the center of Riccarton were rescuing the prisoners.
“Quaaaaagh!”
“Ughhh…”
“Thank you, thank you…!”
Every time a member of the Barmal Alliance plucked a fruit, screams, tears, and thanks were poured out.
About 50 per fruit.
Of the fruits that fell to the ground, only about 30 percent of them survived. It wasn’t that there were no trapped fruits, but there were many more that did not respond to peeling.
“This is Alyssa Badger, Captain of the Tican Defense. Come out and go where you can see the light over there!”
“This is Gilly McLorran of the Barmal Association. Go where you can see the light. People who are unable to move must take care of themselves. It will be difficult, but please move calmly.”
“hi? It’s Nodav Sarsaeng. Are there any members of our fan club here? oh now is not the time go there go there I’m here to save you guys!”
“Captain Ghost, see that blue light over there? get there anyway Then our wizards and knights will protect you…”
Hell is right here.
My colleagues were running without a break with such a mind.
Hundreds of fruits had already fallen on the floor, but the trees near the castle were still shaking off the fruits.
The blue light where the prisoners gathered was Valeria’s huge record window.
Instead of participating in the rescue, she and Quaul Enya Hedo were to guard the gathering prisoners and gather information.
“As soon as the Valeria flare exploded, Jin’s energy suddenly disappeared. Are there any bars that appear in the log window?”
“He’s so focused right now that he can’t answer! Wait a minute, I’ll read the log window.”
Quaul answered Hedo’s words instead and examined the log window. As he said, Valeria was in a state where she could not hear the voices of others at all because she was extracting the records of the entire battlefield.
“Here you are. Moving through Dipus Runkandel and the power of the evil god… Well, the name of the area where Jin moved hasn’t been released yet. Seeing the faint combination of letters, it will appear on the window over time.”
Hedo was a little embarrassed that Jin had left the battlefield, but he didn’t worry too much.
Unless the bust moved directly, there would be no existence in Hufester that could kill him.
‘Zipple and Kingelo’s fleet is being delayed. That means that you, too, are dealing with an army of evil spirits, among them superhuman-level strongmen… It is unlikely that Jin will be able to handle them all. Did the Fourth Horseman lure Jin out for a one-on-one fight?’
About a hundred prisoners had already reached the record window, and many more were coming across the dark plains.
[Things are going so smoothly, hey. The forces of chaos are strangely invisible.]
Quikantel said, carefully placing a fruit on the ground.
“If you say such a thing, there will be a problem, Mr. Quikantel. Just like now…”
Hedo drew his sword and said.
What he is looking at is the front gate of Riccarton Castle. There, a woman in a black robe was walking out.
Prophet Ilina Runcandel.
Hedo spread his kendo right there, but Illina dispersed like mist, then regained her form and shook off her clothes.
Hedo shrugged his shoulders as if he knew that and took a cigarette.
[Damn it. Circumstantial, I think that’s a prophet.]
“So an annoying guy came out. It’s enough to fight warriors or wizards, but you can easily deal with those with special powers like ordinary Jin.”
[That must be the reason why the Fourth Horseman lured Jin.]
The problem is not combat power, but the unfavorable situation.
In addition to having to fight while protecting the prisoners, there were too many unknowns about Illina’s abilities.
[Heroes of public interest who came to Riccarton. Are you having fun rescuing prisoners?]
Illina’s amplified voice rang lightly across the battlefield.
Hedo fixed his gaze on her like a nail, and his comrades were slow to rescue them as the captives were terrified.
[Looking at the lack of an answer, it doesn’t look good. So, I prepared a present for you guys!]
Clap clap!
Illina clapped her hands, and suddenly a circle formed in the middle of the trees to which the prisoners were bound.
It was ‘Eye’. Then, the trunks of the trees stretched out to the side, followed by a bizarre appearance with their arms and legs pulled out.
[Crazy… is that a kind of monster, not a tree?]
The monsters that looked like trees until just now were raising their crouched bodies. The fruit-bearing part was like a head and hair, and when the legs that had been rooted underground spread out, each monster was bigger than Riccarton Castle.
[These are the giant beasts I made with the help of the family head. Everyone has dealt with the Grave Giant, right? similar to them It’s just that there are a few humans attached to the fruit on its head. Shall we call it a kind of accessory?]
In other words, it means that there are restrictions on the party’s ability to destroy the giant beast. If you’re careful, the fruits of the giant beast will be smashed together by the party’s attack.
[My head hurts. But hey. That Prophet… doesn’t seem to have the power to get rid of us.]
“I was thinking that too.”
Most of their comrades were overcome with a sudden sense of impatience, but Hedo and Quikantel calmly read the situation.
“I have a strong feeling that you are cheating to buy time. while making it difficult to rescue prisoners. That’s probably why the army of chaos is small. They know that if we engage in melee with large numbers of troops, the rate at which prisoners will be consumed is too fast, and we will have no reason to fight cautiously.”
[It’s not going to be a waste of time because of the recovery of Dipus, who has already entered the battle with Jin. Judging by the obvious show, the other side is also feeling a sense of crisis.]
“Tactically, it would be better to give up all prisoners immediately and advance to distort the author’s intention. But that wouldn’t be Jin’s way.”
[You’re already saying things like Barmal Union. He adapts quickly.]
“I was worried that Sandra would make a fuss if Jin suffered in the future. It’s also something that might fall into the trap of a trap after advancing. First of all, we’d better stay calm until our temporary allies arrive. I just remembered the numbers.”
Whoa!
The giants began to advance. As they moved, there was a dark low-pitched cry and an unpleasant noise of twisting trees.
One of them punched the ground. It was aimed at Lata, but he easily evaded the attack and even saved a few prisoners who were bounced by the shockwave.
But not all companions can do it like Ratta. Those who are relatively weak, like the youngest division, will have to risk fatal wounds every time they avoid the giant’s attack.
[Then, I hope that meeting with the giant beasts will give you more thrilling pleasure. I will step back now.]
The Prophet went back to Riccarton Castle after saying that.
“Quikantel. Please bring Julian and the leader of the Dark Kingdom.”
Quikantel quickly found them running on the battlefield.
“You, Julian, will be excluded from rescuing prisoners on the ground from now on. Instead, move with the Dark Lord and harvest the fruits attached to the Giant Tree.”
Julian drops the fruit from the Giant God Tree with the Lightning Bow Harmilla, and Valkas moves it near the record window.
Hedo planned to rescue the prisoners attached to the giant beast that way. By using Julian’s shooting ability and the power of Valkas.
“There is no need to perfectly bring the Black King’s Fruit all the way here. Throw it from as far away as possible and I’ll catch them all. Also, there is no need to be too precise. Even if I throw it to the side that is slightly out of my way, I can catch it with a sword wind.”
“Okay.”
Is that possible? Valkas immediately wondered, but nodded as he recalled Hedo’s supernatural power.
[Valkas must be having a hard time. You should pay attention to protecting allies while securing the fruit of the giant god.] Excluding
Hedo, who is an out-of-topic superhuman, Balkas is the only 10 star in the party, so he had to play a large role in protecting allies.
“Of course it is, but the leader of the Dark Lord will not be very difficult. because.”
Whoa-!
Suddenly, Hedo took a step forward and cut through the air. The sword shot like light struck the wrist of the giant god who fell to the ground.
The giant beast originally aimed at Mesa Milkano and hit it with his fist, but he couldn’t overcome the resistance of the kendo and backtracked.
“Because in this way I will cover the entire battlefield and protect my allies right here.”
Hedo can’t leave his seat. The moment he moved, the prisoners gathered here were dead.
In addition, the place where the rescued people gather disappears, and Valeria and Quaul’s analysis is also disrupted.
[Certainly, monsters are monsters too, hehe. I immediately thought of a countermeasure, so when I did something, it was just brute force.]
Colleagues admired, but Hedo was sorry. Rather, he thought that if he had been in charge of Difus and Jin was present, the Prophet would not have been able to do such a trick.
‘In the first place, those guys must have calculated that and siphoned it off.’
The total number of giants is eight. Hedo did not miss any of their movements.
“Because it is just powerless, there may come a moment when you reach your limit. Before that, let’s save as many prisoners as possible and hold out until our allies come. We also need one Riccarton Castle infiltrator. That sounds like the right person for the 7th Horseman Mary Runkandel.”
[I will deliver it.]
“Ms. Enya, from now on, focus only on the rear. I don’t think I can pay attention to the rear at all.”
“Don’t worry. Sir Hedo!”
After he calmed down the giants with ranged support a few more times, the teammates were able to focus on rescuing the prisoners again.
Hedo’s sword spirit continued to spread like a shining string between Riccarton Castle and the rendezvous point.
