Chapter 359: Fierce Battle at the Fort
Due to the large number of foreign tribe warriors invading, the interior of the fort was engulfed in chaos.
But… even amidst such circumstances, there were those who were confronting the unforeseen situation.
“You lot, don’t falter!”
Bareya Cattleya, the commander of the fort’s defense unit, shouted out orders.
“The castle gate is already sealed. The enemy numbers won’t increase any further! Calmly, take down the enemies who have invaded the fort one by one!”
While giving orders to the soldiers, Bareya himself was fighting the foreign tribes with a spear in hand.
“Hmph!”
“Gyaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!”
A foreign tribe warrior was sent flying by the swung spear, crashing into the inner side of the castle wall.
With how much brute force was he sent flying? The Ogre Clan warrior’s bones were crushed to a pulp.
“It’s just as Big Brother says! Everyone, calm down and deal with the enemy!”
“That’s right! Soldiers of the Aiwood Kingdom shouldn’t be gettin’ flustered by somethin’ like this. Stop yer whinin’ and fight!”
Bareya’s younger brothers… Caryas and Toya, were also scattering the foreign tribe warriors.
Caryas with his twin swords, and Toya with his spear, inspired the surrounding soldiers with their fierce fighting.
“Almacain Sword Dance Technique… ‘Sankage’.”
Furthermore… flowers of blood danced within the fort.
In an instant, multiple foreign tribe warriors were sliced to pieces, becoming gruesome corpses.
“I’m relieved.”
Bathed in the blood of the foreign tribes, a gloomy-looking young man with long bangs covering his eyes muttered.
Even amidst the scene of carnage, he wore a smile, his cruelly cold gaze sweeping over his surroundings.
“I’m relieved. I thought I’d just be waiting for time to pass peacefully inside the fort. It’s good that there’s a chance to be active.”
The one who spoke coldly was the ‘Sword Saint Who Dislikes Women,’ Wilhelm Lübesse.
Lübesse, sword in hand, glared at the surrounding foreign tribe warriors.
“For now, I’ll cut. If you don’t want to die, resist with all your might.”
“A human!”
“Don’t underestimate us, we’ll crush you!”
As Lübesse swayed his sword tip invitingly, the enraged foreign tribe warriors surged forward.
Ogre Clan, Lizardfolk, and Insectoids attacked Lübesse all at once.
“Almacain Sword Dance Technique… ‘Tobiume’.”
Lübesse flashed his sword once.
Even though there was still some distance, a slash flew out and bisected one of the enemies.
“Wha–…!”
Lübesse kicked off the ground and leaped at the enemy.
“Hmph!”
“Gaah!?”
Lübesse’s sword beheaded an Ogre Clan warrior.
Next, a Lizardfolk thrust its spear, but he twisted his body and easily dodged.
While spinning, he swung his sword again, bisecting the Lizardfolk’s torso.
“Ooooooooooooooooooooooooh!”
An Insectoid warrior tried to crush Lübesse with its massive body.
However, Lübesse narrowed his eyes slightly and, without the slightest panic, flashed his sword.
“‘Sankage’.”
And then… countless slashes were unleashed.
Among the foreign tribes, the Insectoids possess overwhelmingly superior defensive capabilities. It is said that their hard insect carapaces are difficult to cut even with a famed sword.
However, Lübesse’s sword cut through the gaps in the carapace as if sewing them, dismantling its massive body into pieces.
“It was somewhat worth cutting… but that’s all. What a boring opponent.”
“Damn… human!”
“You baaaaaaaastard!”
The foreign tribe warriors screamed in anger, but the tide of battle had already turned.
Because Rest was blocking the castle gate, enemy reinforcements had already stopped.
Although they were initially pushed back due to the surprise attack and confusion, thanks to the efforts of the Cattleya brothers and Lübesse, they were able to make a comeback.
“We’ll push them back like this! Unleash magic!”
“Everyone, don’t give the enemy a chance to counterattack. Exterminate the foreign tribes!”
“Ooooooooooooooooooooooooh!”
Isis and Dibble also seized the opportunity to unleash counterattack magic.
The number of foreign tribes who had invaded the fort’s interior rapidly decreased.
“For a moment, I wondered what would happen… but for now, it looks like we can overcome this.”
Watching the flow of the battle, Rest also let out a sigh of relief.
To follow his comrades, he unleashed a Wind Blade and cut down a foreign tribe warrior.
