In this crossover anime, many ruthless and powerful figures reside in my territory.

"Morag, the task of commanding and finding the caster is now in your hands!"

Lister tossed his bow and arrows to his opponent, then picked up the two-handed sword lying beside him and leaped off the platform.

Lena and the other five guards also picked up their weapons and jumped down, while Morag, who remained on the high platform, thought for a moment and made a gesture to the leader of the trap team.

The next second, the signal flare flew into the air and burst into a brilliant orange-red firework.

Lister glanced at the signal flare with a puzzled expression.

That color… He was pretty sure he hadn’t ordered his men to make orange-red signal flares.

Was it Morag's request that it be done?

Lister had no interest in dealing with the signal flares anymore. Now that he had handed over command to the other party, he wouldn't bother with it anymore.

"Lena, please protect my back."

"Yes!" x5

The five bear-like orc guards, including Lena, shouted in unison.

"Spearmen, form a spear formation!"

"Come kill people with me!"

The remaining soldiers gathered behind Lister, who stood atop the hill overlooking the charging gnolls.

He raised his silver-white two-handed sword, and the soldiers behind him all took a deep breath.

"Don't let a single gnoll get past the lines!"

The jackals who rushed up the hillside all saw Lister standing at the forefront, dressed in exquisite, bright silver full-body armor.

They rushed over instinctively.

The one dressed the most flamboyantly is definitely the enemy leader.

Kill the leader and you can go on a rampage of burning, killing, and looting!

snort!

Lister watched the approaching enemy, gripped the hilt of his sword tightly, and his magical power rapidly spread throughout his body, concentrating at the tip of the two-handed sword.

"Roar!!!"

Three gnolls leaped up and pounced on Lister.

The silver blade formed a graceful arc, instantly cleaving the three gnolls in half at the waist, their blood splattering onto their armor.

At the same time, gnolls charged toward Lister from behind in waves. One large gnoll raised a club as big as a pillar and was about to smash it down.

The next moment, Reina, as the captain of the guard, stepped forward, her arm muscles suddenly bulging, and she sliced ​​open the great gnoll's neck with her sword, beheading him.

The other four guards wielded their spears, piercing the gnolls that surged forward. Their bodies also swelled up, and one of their spears even had two or three gnoll corpses pierced through it.

These are orcs with bear blood. After training, their physiques are far stronger than those of ordinary humans. Even Lister would have a hard time beating them in a pure arm-wrestling contest.

In an instant, all the gnolls within three meters of Lister were cleared out, and even their corpses were thrown back.

As a reef that resists the tides, he is not something these jackals can easily shake!

In the distance, the elderly Madara Uchiha remained quietly watching the battle, while Kotini beside him anxiously clenched her fingers.

Relying on her superhuman eyesight from her elven bloodline, she could clearly see Lister, who was cutting through the tides like a harvester, as well as Lena and the other guards.

As for the soldiers behind them, they held long spears and repeated their daily thrusting drills to ensure that there were no enemies behind Lister and his men.

"coming soon."

Kotini looked at Uchiha Madara in alarm.

next moment……

"Buzz!"

Lister, who was fighting the enemy, sensed a strange fluctuation of power.

A soldier suddenly shouted.

"I...I can't stab it in!"

The tips of the soldiers' spears were blocked by the jackal's fur, and only a few drops of blood appeared, which was completely different from when they were pierced through directly!

Lister also noticed the anomaly.

He used to be able to easily slice through the gnoll's body, but now he felt a slight blockage.

Moreover... these gnolls' already bloodthirsty faces became even more frenzied!

"Woo~~~~" xN

The gnolls around Lister were glowing with blood, their muscles bulged, and their fur became even harder.

Some of the gnolls even collapsed, their bodies gushing blood.

Mass Berserk?!

Lister pierced the throat of the ferocious gnoll with his sword, and the gnoll was even able to swing its weapon.

Even the pain has lessened?!

Oops!

He looked to both sides of the soldiers' ranks.

Because he and his guards bore the brunt of the pressure, the soldiers were not injured. Instead, they used the gnoll corpses to distract the enemy while simultaneously darting in and killing them whenever they could find an opening.

But now that the gnolls have become stronger through the berserk spell, the pressure on the soldiers has increased dramatically.

The defenses on both sides are about to be breached!

The ferocious gnoll grabbed a soldier's spear, ripped it off, and tossed the soldier far away.

The other soldiers fared no better. Even with their desperate thrusts, they could barely withstand the pressure, but when more gnolls surged forward, they lost their ability to resist.

No!

Lister gripped his two-handed sword tightly, decisively leaping into the air towards the center of the gnoll ranks.

"Lena, hold the line!"

"grown ups!!!"

Lena drew her sword and tried to charge forward, but reason stopped her.

The armor on Lister was one of the few magical artifacts owned by the Eller family. As long as Lister still had magic power, the gnolls could not harm him.

The most important thing now is to save the soldiers who are about to be killed!

Lister roared from the air, and the gnolls around him rushed towards him, greatly reducing the pressure on the soldiers.

Instead, Lister was besieged and had to rapidly deplete his magic power to resist attacks from all sides.

In his current state, he can probably hold on for about a minute.

and so!

Lister looked towards the distant high platform, where Knight Commander Morag had already drawn his bow.

The caster's location will be revealed as soon as they use magic!

Given the abilities of the gnoll casters, a large-scale berserk spell is bound to cause a stir!

The arrow shot in a certain direction.

Despite the risk of being hit several times, Lister leaped up, stepping on the gnolls' heads to charge forward, and then saw a dwarf gnoll hiding under the large gnoll.

The other party was holding a staff; it was all too obvious.

Lister was delighted. He turned around, cleaved the giant jackal in two, and then swung his sword at the dwarf.

Once the caster dies, the gnolls, who have been utterly defeated, will surely flee!

This crisis will be resolved!

dead!

The dwarf gnoll was cleaved in two by a single sword strike.

In the distance, Cortini saw Lister's heroic figure and excitedly threw a punch.

however……

"That was just a puppet."

As soon as Madara Uchiha finished speaking, four two-meter-tall rock golems suddenly rose from the ground around Lister, surrounding him in the center.

!!!

This is definitely not something a gnoll would do!

Moreover, this method—Lister… no, it's a signature magic of a certain ducal family that everyone in the Kingdom of Rennes knows about—

Puppet creation!

A venomous snake, hidden in the shadows, peeked out and bit its prey.

Lister raised his sword to attack the puppet, and after the puppet was split in two, a new puppet appeared.

There seemed to be a special force among these puppets that made Lister feel incredibly heavy.

I'm stuck here...

Lister looked into the distance, where Lena and the rest of the guard were desperately hacking at the gnolls in an attempt to get their help.

Morag also leaped off the platform and charged into the ranks of the gnolls.

But the gnolls, empowered by the new Berserk spell, firmly blocked them at the crossroads.

“Your lord is their real target.”

Madara Uchiha's words were like a sharp sword piercing Cortini's heart.

She glanced blankly at the battlefield, then suddenly knelt down and bowed her head to Uchiha Madara.

Golden hair was mixed with mud.

"Mr. Ban, please help Lord Lister..."
