"The easier it is to let your guard down, the more vigilant you should be."

A cold wind blew.

Something green flashed by.

The young man was confused for a moment, then suddenly realized what the shape was.

——It’s the eyes.

Densely packed, shiny eyes.

“…Enemy attack!”

20. Wolf

"Set up a defensive formation! Protect the horses and cargo!"

The captain of the guard rushed over with a knife and took a quick look around.

The place where we are now staying has already been filled with the sounds of fighting.

It's the worst possible situation.

"what happened……?!"

"Why did they attack...?!"

There wasn't even time to wonder.

It is rare for wild beasts to attack in groups.

But once it appears, it is a battle that may lead to the annihilation of his entire army.

Wild beasts cannot understand the white flags of humans. They just want to destroy everything that is their enemy.

It was almost just a moment when the young man and the beast looked at each other.

With the surging wind, a torrent of roaring beasts rushed out.

The dense pack of wolves seemed to want to destroy the convoy in front of them to the point where nothing was left.

The first howl of the vanguard wolf, even after it snapped the first man's neck.

That was the signal to officially attack.

"Get ready! Defense--" Squeak.

The guard who reacted hastily injected magic power into the mark on his chest armor, turning the thin armor into a solid defense, but was also knocked away by the charging beast.

"They're all wolves... They're all timberwolves!"

"many……!"

When magic power is injected into the engraved weapon, it emits a faint halo due to the light and color reaction of the magic power.

It is these weapons that allow even non-magicians humans to have the ability to fight against wild beasts.

"Pay attention to the location of your companions!"

The captain shouted this and drew his knife to chop at the enemy wolf.

He used all his strength to strike three times. The wolf in front of him was pierced, and before he could draw his sword, another wolf pounced on him.

Even if one is killed, there are still dozens or hundreds left.

It's endless.

"Magician! Where's the magician?"

"The ritual is already being prepared! ...Alright!"

bass.

The halo behind him was finally released. Several arrows made of stones pierced the bodies of several wolves.

However, most of them were dodged, and a few only hit the legs, which was still some distance away from death.

"Boom——" A fireball was released and exploded in the open space.

However, it only ate a few swift wolves a little.

The captain smacked his lips.

Magicians can demonstrate strong combat capabilities when challenging large monsters, but if they are densely packed with individuals, they will need to change their strategy.

"Don't be sorry! Just use the spell gem!"

Several gems glowing with light were thrown in front of the team.

That is the magic formula gem that has the formula compressed and engraved in a gem. It is a one-time weapon that only magicians can use.

The gems fell to the ground and the spell was performed, establishing some connection between the two.

——[City Wall].

With gemstones as nodes, the earth on the ground bulges up to form a thick earth wall.

The wall temporarily separated the wolves outside from the guards inside, allowing everyone inside to at least have a chance to catch their breath.

The captain chopped the wolf's head off with a chop. The wolf's body rushed forward two steps before slowly falling down.

"First, we need to temporarily eliminate the ones inside, and then use the terrain to defend until the wolves outside retreat..."

The captain had just finished shouting out his orders.

Suddenly, there was another deafening crash.

The thick mud wall in front of the guards was cracked with spider-web-like cracks.

"Bang!" The wall was knocked open.

A much more majestic wolf-like figure rushed into the position defended by the guards.

There was a faint glow on the opponent's claws.

The guards around were all stunned by the shock.

Then came a strong feeling of powerlessness.

"Monster Wolf..."

……

Wolves travel in groups.

This also means that there cannot be only one monster wolf.

The walls that were created as a result of the magic ritual were broken down one after another.

The wild wolves following behind also rushed in one by one.

"Leona! Miss Elle!"

The moment the battle broke out, DeWitt took up his weapon and prepared for fighting, then asked Roy to call up the others.

But obviously there is no need for this.

Leona appeared in the defensive position at the first moment.

DeWitt was holding an ordinary shield and sword, while the boy was holding a two-handed sword.

"Roy, you hide behind me and pick on the lone ones." DeWitt took a step forward: "Watch out, this is a good opportunity to learn...!"

He thrust his shield into the wolf.

The shield was tilted at a slightly angle, cleverly removing the force from the wolf.

The wolf that rushed over had its head tilted, and was immediately beheaded by DeWitt.

"Leona!"

"exist."

The finger infused with magic power quickly drew a circle in the air as a positioning for the extension of the spell, and then the halo condensed and the lines flowed.

【Stone Arrow】

The spell patterns were so neat and tidy that even the teachers at the magic academy had to admire them, and several homemade prismatic arrows emerged from them.

The arrows shot at a certain frequency forced all the wolves around DeWitt away.

Occasionally, a lone wolf would be killed by the young man behind it.

"Where's Miss Elle?"

DeWitt asked, remembering something.

Leona looked back: "Probably, don't worry..."

Ai'er's defense is much more solid than this side.

……

While Ai'er was still in distress, Lily woke up on her own.

She rubbed her sleepy lavender eyes.

"El. There are a lot of things staring at us..." Lily spoke in a soft tone.

"Yeah." Ai'er said, "I'll take care of it later... Do you want to sleep a little longer?"

Lily shook her head, but after thinking about it, she nodded: "I'll lie down for a while."

Fighting broke out suddenly.

The surroundings were already illuminated by fire and the light of the ritual.

Elle saw that Dewitt, Roy, and Leona had already formed their team. Roy was still running towards them, shouting his name, and Elle waved to tell him that he had noticed, and he went into the battle alone.

"Then I'll go first?" Ai'er also waved to Lily.

Lily sat up again:

"I'd better just look at Ai'er like this."
