Chapter 68: The Northern Forest Battle 4
Although we broke through the second defence line with nearly no injuries, but the price for it was the loss of 2 Wind Elementals.
Summoning a Rank 5 familiar need 25MP, this loss to me who is level 19, can be recovered with a 30min rest.
But now we are in the midst of the enemy camp.
We can’t possibly rest 30 min.
So we have to go just like that.
Although I said so, we have to prevent our combat power from decreasing.
So I summoned another 2 new Wind Elementals.
Arisu used her excess MP to heal the injured Wind Elemental.
Now my MP will requires about 60 min to recover.
Perhaps the MP left does not even reach 70.
Now we don’t even know where the main camp of the enemy is at, so we have to reduce the possible loss of the familiars here.
Shiki-san returned after investigating a while.
「In front, the security is too tight, we don’t have enough firepower.」
「How many enemies are there?」
「There are 8-10 archer orcs, at least 6 giant wasps, and there are still 20 small fry orcs on the ground.」
Quite a big number.
Should…… we give up here?
No, since we are already here, no matter what we do, it doesn’t matter if the enemy detects that they are attacked.
The base of the orcs is no doubt somewhere near here.
Then we could be wiping out the vanguards of the enemy.
「We will let Arisu and Tamaki conduct the wiping battle.」
「Wait, Kazu-kun, that is too dangerous.」
Shiki-san panicked.
But when I turned towards her…...
Shiki-san showed me a pranking smile.
Ah ah, so it is like this.
She took the role of stopping while I have the role of explaining.
Such an irritating fellow.
「Mia’s 《Whirlwind》 can create a tornado, and seal the archer orcs’ arrows to a certain extent.」
Mia’s newly learnt Rank 4 Wind Magic 《Whirlwind》, is a magic that create tornado.
Like before, it can create strong wind below the archer orcs.
If it is successful, we can make them fall to the ground just like that.
「And Arisu and Tamaki can use 《Fly》 to attack, then whether it is an archer or what not, they will not be their foes.」
「Although you say that…… but there are still giant wasps and small fry orcs.」
「The opponents of the small fry orcs, will be Sakura-san and my familiars.」
Nagatsuki Sakura can level up to level 5 in the battle just now and her Spear Skill has been raised to Rank 3.
She is the same as Arisu, a pure warrior.
With small fry orcs as her opponents, she perhaps may even think that they are too slow.
「As for the giant wasps, then we will leave them to Shiki-san and the 2 fire magic users who specialised in long distance attacks, I believe that you can do that very well.」
「That…… including me, when facing enemies that are escaping…… what should we do?」
「Hmm, just now we had a tough battle is because we can’t let any enemy go, so if we don’t do that, I guess we can obtain victory easily.」
In that sort of situation, the escaping enemy may call reinforcement…...
Since they will not escape out of the forest, then we can just attack the gathering point of the enemy directly.
It will be good if a BOSS appears.
Our Tamaki will be your opponent.
Anyway if Tamaki who is fully prepared with my support magic, is unable to win against him, then it means that currently we are unable to win against it.
And this is a gamble…...
If we meet an enemy that is above that, then we can only retreat away from this place.
Troops can move freely, are probably all used on attacking our gathering place, the Cultivating Centre yesterday.
Of course, more powerful troops which can be moved could appear, just like the giant wasp that appeared this morning.
If we meet that sort of situation, then there is nothing we can do.
Then my eyes crossed with Shiki-san, and we both understand such a thing like that could happen.
Then we nodded to each other.
「I understand, although there is some risk, but this is something that we have to take.」
After a while, Shiki-san nodded again.
Seems like we have decided to fight.
※
In the area where the archers are alert in, a tornado suddenly appeared.
At the same time, a giant wasp is struck down by a fire arrow, falling to the ground.
But the orcs reacted quickly, and sounded the alarm that the enemy are attacking.
Then Arisu and Tamaki began their attack from the sky.
After using 《Haste》 with 《Extend Spell》, with a red trail left behind them in the sky, the 2 of them rushed towards the archers.
The archer orcs shot arrows at them but due to the interference from the tornado, they missed their target.
This time, Tamaki does not have her tower shield.
Because even if it is just a second faster, reaching the enemy is more important than anything.
That tower shield, is currently being carried on my back.
It is extremely…… heavy.
While chasing my companions who are in front of me, I fell.
Sakura turned behind and said 「let me carry it」.
「No, you still have to take care of the orcs, After I used support magic, other than giving out instructions, there is nothing else that I can do.」
After completing my words, I saw the small fry orcs jumping out from the woods in front of us.
Sakura noticed that, and advanced with her iron spear.
「The rear guard will be my familiars, Sakura you can just move freely…...」
Before I finish, Sakura had already rushed out.
With a spear she jumped into the group of orcs, then from that moment, that area was dyed in the colour of fresh blood.
The orcs who got attacked suddenly, panicked immediately.
On the other hand, the giant wasps who flew over, are the opponents for Shiki-san and the 2 fire magic users.
Shiki-san did not hide and used her throwing to attract the enemy’s attention.
The main firepower are the fire arrows.
When the giant wasps showed an opening from the attacks by Shiki-san, fire arrows are released from the tower shield behind me.
Ah, there are still 2 more people hiding behind me.
No matter what their figures can’t be seen…...
Maa, that is good.
I am currently level 19.
Nearly 5x the level of Shiki-san.
If I was hit by a few poison stingers or arrows, I will not die.
After all, I can’t do anything on the battlefield.
Then at least, let me be a meat shield.
The worst situation is the companions that I was protecting died.
Compared to the deaths of my companions, I will just feel some pain only, quite a worthwhile trade.
I don’t ever want to experience the feelings that I had when Shimoyamada Akane-san died.
The giant wasps are fallen by the fire arrows one by one.
