Chapter 259 – 259. Demonic Front (2)
“We will be assigned to the defense mission side of the iron wall. Perhaps this is something that will be delivered to adventurers sooner or later. Erin, be familiar with it too.”
“What about us? Then what other people will be given separate assignments?”
“Huh. Father, Gerard-sama, and Anies-sama gathered to form a subjugation party. You must be thinking of going directly to the territory where monsters are constantly being created.”
Upon hearing that a large number of priests had been dispatched from the Temple of Vesta as well, Erin let out a sigh of relief.
Because she knows how much stability the party’s expedition brings just by having one priest.
“There are three heroes… Will you be all right?”
Even though it is a subjugation team composed of heroes, it is unclear whether a team of three can handle such a large army of monsters.
“It’s not that I don’t worry about my father either, but I still want to believe in him.”
Admiring his father’s knightly appearance, he became a knight named Ei.
Although she thought that she could not get tired of her father, who had the greatest longing in her heart, her worry as a daughter rather than as a knight did not disappear.
But you have to believe it.
“According to the story, the monsters all appear during the day and invade the borders in groups, and if you block that one invasion, it seems to be quiet until the same time the next day.”
In other words, it means that demon beasts are being mass-produced every day at a certain period through a certain cause and rule.
The ultimate goal of the subjugation team is to prevent the mass production of demons by investigating and solving the cause.
“The subjugation party is going to bypass the mountain range on the side where the appearance of the monsters have not been reported, avoid encounters with the monsters as much as possible, and infiltrate right into the center. On the defense side of the fortress, the soldiers and adventurers of the Margrave, Princess Yuria, and Duke Alex, who are the lords of this Mograf region, will be in charge.”
“Hyun, then…”
“Perhaps he will join the subjugation party over there.”
“I guess so… ?”
“Whoops, why? It’s been a long time since I’ve seen your face, aren’t you sad that I didn’t show you first?”
“It’s not like that!”
Erin hurriedly denied it, blushing as if she had been stabbed to the core.
She was certainly disappointed, but she wasn’t so immature that she didn’t know that this wasn’t a situation where she could put her own personal feelings first.
Eira smiled wryly at her and pulled Erin, who was ashamed to have revealed her true feelings, and hugged her tightly.
“When it is over.”
“Yes?”
“I’ll see you when it’s over.”
“… Yes.”
Hearing Eira’s words, Erin gave her a small nod and sat down on her floor, lifting her body from leaning against the wall.
“Thank you. Sister.”
“Whoops, what’s this?”
“Ah! You are still here!”
Erin turned her head toward her doctor, who was hurriedly running toward her.
“Thank you so much! She would have been unable to treat her patients in time if it had not been for the help of the adventurer.”
“No. I’ve only been learning, but it’s the first time I’ve put this knowledge to good use. Because I had the proper instructions from the doctor.”
“Okay… You seem to have learned from a really great person.”
“… Yes. He is my teacher whom I really respect.”
Erin smiled happily at the doctor’s words of praise for Eunhyun who taught her.

“I see! I can see the demons!”
Along with the soldier’s cry filled with urgency, the sound of a bell ringing from the top of the bell tower spread the noise throughout the fortress, signaling a crisis situation.
“… !”
Erin, who had been napping on a cot inside the fort, heard the loud bell ringing and opened her eyes wide and stood up.
Without hesitation, she immediately strapped her two rapiers to her left waist, and she immediately left her room and headed for her meeting place, which she had been notified of in advance.
Erin’s reaction was very quick compared to other adventurers.
There were only 10 adventurers at the meeting place, and many adventurers and soldiers began to appear one by one following Erin’s arrival.
With Alex standing on the platform in the center in front of them, the soldiers waiting in line with five, and the adventurers buzzing in the chaotic chaos, slowly waited for the words of Alex, their boss and employer.
“It is the first outing. Fight bravely ahead of anyone else, but never take your own life lightly, as it is okay to get hurt.
“””Yes!”””
In a way, the two orders given by Alex were no different from those that contradicted each other, but the knights and soldiers of Armitas responded to Alex’s orders with a roaring voice.
Soon, through the urgent request he issued to the adventurer’s guild, he gazes at the adventurers who willingly followed him to this limb.
“In order to receive the commission money safely, you must first have a lifeline attached, right?”
“Haha! No need to worry!”
“Take care of yourself and yourselves! Employer sir!”
The attitude shown to the Duke So, who was no different from the next successor of the territory, contained ignorance and violence that could not be found in elegance and formality.
But Alex didn’t blame it.
The adventurers and Alex in this place are not related with courtesy and respect stemming from the difference in status that exists between ‘nobles and commoners’.
The relationship between ’employer and employee’ made up of thorough interests.
He had no intention of asking adventurers for anything more than that.
So all I have to say to them is a short word as an employer.
“Don’t die. Never.”
“”””Oohhhhh!”””
The voices of many people full of spirit and spirit filled the inside of the fortress and vibrated.
“Each! To the location you were notified of! You must not let even a single monster enter the kingdom’s territory!”
“””All right!”””
People scattered.
The castle gate opened and Erin, who came out to the outskirts, looked behind her and stared blankly at the huge iron gate and castle wall she had come through.
“Awesome…”
A height so far that even dozens of people standing next to each other would not be able to reach it.
I had no idea how many resources and people’s labor would have gone into building that high wall.
The majesty of the ‘Iron Wall of Mograf’, which he had only heard about, left him in awe.
“Miss! It’s not the time to look back! Look ahead!”
“Ah… Yes!”
It was Jis, a former potion swindler and adventurer, who had been talking to Erin for some reason before, who awakened the dazed mind of Erin.
With her hastily brought to her senses and her gaze in front of her, Erin raised the mana in her body, strengthening her body and entering her battle stance.
‘… I have to keep my mind straight.’
Perhaps it was because the Beast Corps was not yet visible, he reflected on the fact that he was not nervous because he did not feel that he was on the battlefield.
He slowly looked around and surveyed the situation with his eyes on the camp on the side of his allies.
‘… As for Eira and Artia’s side… It’s over there.’
The adventurers and Armitas’ troops are on the front lines with him.
The kingdom’s troops, who had been supporting Princess Yuria at the forefront, were quite far from their own camp.
Since each of them had to command the troops they had led, Erin thought that this might have been the formation.
Thud! Thud! Thud!
When she’s thinking about that.
The group of Witchbeasts who had been waiting for them finally showed up.
From monsters boasting enormous size, to beasts with a relatively large number of small bodies.
A great many types of entities appear over the mountain and begin to walk all at once towards the frontier fort.
“Launch!”
[Four-digit sub-magic]
[Fireball]
Under the command of Princess Yuria, she began pouring fire-type magic all at once cast by dozens of wizards.
As dozens of spheres of flame were fired, not one, they merged into one to create a huge sphere of flame.
Kwaaang!
The magic that many wizards gathered together and fired caused a series of explosions, scorching the land, and sweeping away the demons.
The ground shakes from the explosion and the deafening noise indirectly expresses how great the power of the wizards was.
But perhaps because she had already seen magic that was worse than that, Erin wasn’t too surprised even in this situation.
‘It’s weaker than the magic that Illyana-sama showed me…’
When I think of Illyana, who was forcibly dragged into the world of dreams because of the tricks of the succubus in the past, casually pouring high-level magic and playing with the succubus, the current sight indirectly reminds me of how great a wizard Illyana really was. It was just doing
Erin thought of appreciating the sight for a moment.
“Return!”
“””Waaaaa!”””
Starting with Alex’s command, she rushed along with many adventurers and soldiers.
Pulling one of her two rapiers from her waist, Erin concentrated her body’s strength on her own legs and accelerated her own movement speed to another level by charging forward.
She became an adventurer, and through steady training for a year, Erin, who became proficient in manipulating her magical power, could not only strengthen her entire body, but also concentrate her magical energy on a specific part to bring out a stronger body strengthening effect. Has been able to
Erin, who had a speed that rivaled any other adventurer in this place, kicked her ground and sprinted, a whirlwind caught up behind her girl.
‘Fast.’
All you want is speed.
‘Faster.’
Even as she sprinted, imagining becoming the wind itself, she braced herself with her powers on the rapier she clenched.
She pulls back slightly the hand that holds her rapier, and with her other hand the tip of the blade, holding it level, is draped between her thumb and index finger.
A posture like ‘shooting’ aiming at the head of a large orc walking precisely in front.
The skills of Galahad, the Three Swordsman Baek-Gwi, who taught her the basics of the Three Swordsmanship.
This technique, created using a sword and a strengthened body, is the extreme of swordsmanship, showing an overwhelming appearance that surpasses the power of ‘shooting’.
[Galahad Raise Sword]
[Gale Knight]
An extreme thrust covered with a vicious weapon called acceleration.
Finally, Erin’s rapier pierced the head of the orc who stood at the forefront.
Perong!
The orc’s head, which had been hit directly by the rapier’s attack, exploded like an inflated balloon.
At the same time, the adventurers who witnessed the sight with their own eyes marveled at the tremendous power that even affected the monsters in the rear row of the orc whose head had been blown off by the aftermath of the stabbing.
“Hwiyu~!”
“Is it okay to be young!?”
“So you’re the nobleman’s disciple!?”
“I can’t help but lose even the fathers!”
Erin, who ran faster than anyone else by accelerating through body strengthening and showed overwhelming power following Princess Yuria’s first attack, opened fire first.
Erin’s performance was successful, and at the same time she was astonished, admiration, and competitive feelings were stirred up, boosting the morale of her allies at once.
The war between humans and monsters has finally begun.
