Chapter 391 – Dain, the Hero of Another World
“Ha… Ha… “
Looking at the backs of the fleeing orcs, Idain let out a rough breath.
‘As soon as I come out again… !’
Even though she drove them away with the power of the holy sword, she was exhausted, probably because she used her holy power too quickly. Knights who seemed to be worried about him came to help, but Dain struggled to shake them off and looked at the orc greedily glaring at him from the other side.
‘Orc… As soon as he faced me a few days ago, he already noticed my weakness… !’
It’s already the 3rd day.
After the first encounter with the sword, the orc first drained his power with the magic of the high elves, then attacked the fortress while charging the sword with the holy power inside his body, then released the holy power again to drive them away. If they did, they were deploying a tactic of retreating his troops all at once.
‘It’s like fucking a real war’
Beat the fort during the cooldown and run away as soon as the cooldown expires.
-They backed off!
-It’s our victory!
-Waaaaa!
– How are you guys!
The soldiers cheered as they watched the back of the retreating corps, but the knights, including Da-in, did not look happy. If two races, orcs and humans, face each other and exchange one-on-one, humans cannot win.
It takes at least 15 years for a human to grow up and become a soldier, no matter how young they are, whereas an orc becomes an adult in less than a year after birth.
Even now, new orcs will be born in cities under the rule of the legion, and the number of orcs will increase as time goes by.
‘I need a solution… A countermeasure… ‘
During the Great War in the past, he was able to run rampant freely while charging enough divine power because he received infinite support and protection from humans. However, now that human support and material support are limited…
Even if the orc climbs up the castle wall and kills ten soldiers, the battle that day is actually a victory for the legion. Now it seems like he has driven out the legion, but the corpses of the soldiers visible on the walls seem to be warning that the humans are getting closer and closer to defeat.
The difference in head count is too great to face head-on.
Discharging a huge amount of holy power at once is definitely effective against monsters, but ironically, it also harms humans.
As if an adequate amount of oxygen keeps people alive, while oxygen at 100% concentration makes people forget their lives.
If you and other humans who have been selected by the holy sword are also shot with an appropriate amount of divine power, their wounds will be healed, but the moment they are exposed to too much divine power, they will be swept away by a huge storm that creates casualties one after another.
That’s why Dain couldn’t use the technique of wiping out a group of monsters by releasing his holy power like he did in the last great war.
In fact, the same technique as his special move was sealed away.
It’s not that you can’t use it at all, but it’s a special condition that there are no allies in front of you.
‘Looking at the number of troops or by any means, it is possible only in a dream to create such an environment.’
If so how?
Idain looked at the setting sun and moved his steps towards the fort.
—————-
The Devil’s Mouth Fortress is supported by the Black Rock Mountains to the east, the summit of which cannot be seen even when looking up, and to the west by the coastal cliffs where waves roll from below. Originally, the purpose of this fortress was to repel monsters moving south from the north.
Now, it could be said to be a gateway to block groups of monsters from the south and a shield to protect mankind from the clutches of the Legion.
Even at this moment, an iron guard was standing on top of the castle wall in preparation for a surprise attack by the legion, and the orc, who could be said to be the source of all evil, giggled at the sight and brandished a torch in the figure of 8 towards the sea.
“Oh right?”
Then Sahuagin, a half-man and half-fish that looks just like the sad frog Pepe, emerges from the moonlit sea.
Pepe, who was a member of the same unit as the orc during the last war, and who was united by a love that was stronger than blood, smiled at the orc with her mouth torn apart.
“Long time no see brother”
“Right right right?”
“Yes, it’s been a while since I’ve been hunting humans… Know? What I want to say”
“Aww!”
A scary splash-! With a sound, the frog-headed Sahuagin disappeared into the sea. And countless eyes shining on the sea, where only the pure white moon had floated until now, began approaching the fortress all at once.
Sahagin Pepe, who had been swimming in the sea under the command of the captain, stuck his head out from the bottom of the cliff where the fortress was located, and immediately jumped up and started climbing the cliff.
“Right right right!”
– Aww!
When Pepe, the leader of the Sahuagin, starts climbing the cliff in the lead, the Sahuagin begin to follow him. Sahuagin, each wearing heads of various fish such as saury, halibut, and mackerel, clung to the cliff like frogs and started climbing.
– Aww!
With a splash!
Some Sahuagin who were not used to life on land because they mainly live in the sea fell, but it didn’t matter. Because the bottom is the sea anyway
As I climbed the cliff again and again, I began to touch the walls built by humans, not the coastal cliffs full of barnacles.
“Aww!”
After fiddling with the stones on the wall several times to confirm that they were safe, Pepe raised his thumb and started climbing again.
His body, as if the face of a frog was not foam, was climbing the wall as if he were walking on a road, even though he had no equipment.
So let’s step our hands one square, one square
“Oh right?”
What? There are no walls anymore If you climb up with this hand, you will cross the wall. There were few guards because no one thought they would climb the sea cliffs to the west, as they focused only on the corps located in the south.
“… “
Pepe looked around for a moment.
“Aww!”
“Aww!”
At the sight of the Sahuagins already clinging to him when they came, Pepe groaned and knocked on the wall with the trident in his hand.
Although the sound of the waves is strong, there must be no human who does not know the resonant characteristic of iron.
-What?
-What did you hear?
-Yes?
Two guards, who had been watching the coast from a distance from each other, were approaching Pepe’s location.
-Who’s guarding here?
– Answer loudly! Because I can’t hear you!
The moment the human soldiers finally reach the wall where Pepe is located and poke their heads under the wall to check the source of the sound,
“Aww!”
-Uh?! Aaaaa!
-Kkeek… Kuk… !
One of the two guards was grabbed by the collar by Pepe’s hand and thrown down a cliff, and the other was killed instantly by a trident held out by the other Sahuagin.
“Right… “
Pepe was the first to climb atop the ramparts, and he began to scan the inside of the fort.
‘Aww! ‘Ahhhhh!’
If you see any of the most heavily guarded facilities among the forts, destroy them immediately.
Recalling the mission given to him by the captain, Pepe looked around to see the Sahuagins filling the surroundings.
“Aww”
Pepe and Sahuagin took advantage of the moment when the moon was hidden by the clouds and disappeared into the darkness.
—————-
-… Hey!
-… Off!
-… Sir! … Sir!
– Warrior!!
“!!”
Da-in opened her eyes at the acrid smell of something burning and a voice calling her name. And immediately pick up the holy sword lying next to the bed and run outside.
“!”
-Fire in the food storage!
-Come on, light it up!
– It’s Sahuagin!
-What are those bastards!?
A fire broke out in the fort’s food storage, and the soldiers extinguished the fire, the soldiers took out items from the food storage to save even the least intact ones, and the last time they invaded this place, they ran rampant everywhere, carrying tridents in their hands. Even the half-human, half-fish Sahuagin attacking the soldiers with
As soon as Lee Da-in finished grasping the situation, she pulled out her holy sword.
But at the same time,
“Aooooo!!!!”
At the same time as the cries of Sahuagin resounding in the night sky, Sahuagin, who was excitedly stabbing the soldiers, and Sahuagin, who peeled off his armor to eat the soldiers and took a bite, stopped what he was doing and ran straight toward the fortress wall. It started.
“Don’t miss it!”
Dain’s body slashed the fleeing Sahuagin as it sprang out like a bullet.
“These… ?!”
They were obviously running away, but as soon as they appeared on the topic of monsters, they were running away in perfect order. While there are Sahuagin who climb stairs, they cling to the walls and even climb, so no one could say they were wild Sahuagin.
In the end, no matter how much I chased and slashed, the Sahuagins were having a good time. I jumped into the sea with the corpses of soldiers in my hands one by one.
“I got hit… !”
Half of the food in the fortress was lost in just three days after the battle with the Legion began.
