Zongman: The wrong person on the ground, double Shenwei at the beginning

"There are about thirty in total. They have collars around their necks. Are they being controlled by someone?"

Alexie drew upon her magic to chant a spell, hoping to clear the monsters in front of her with her proud flames, but the pterosaurs in the air immediately seized the opportunity to spew fire and interfere.

If Alexie tries to deal with the pterosaurs first, they will immediately take to the air, giving her no chance to retaliate.

Alexie's pupils widened in shock, and her expression turned grave.

"With this kind of coordinated combat, there must be a beast tamer nearby!"

Like a whirlwind, Ryu weaved through the monster horde. Upon hearing Alisha's words, she immediately leaped out to search for and kill the mastermind behind it all.

As a result, when the monsters saw Ryu leave, they turned around and tried to harm the fleeing passersby.

Ryu had no choice but to abandon the idea of ​​leaving temporarily, clenching her teeth in anger inside her mask.

"Damn it, what are these guys behind the scenes planning to do!"

"If you're from the Dark Faction, you should know that these monsters can only cause trouble, not kill us!"

As Ryu said, these monsters, though powerful, were still within their capabilities.

Jun Suzuki noticed a seemingly powerful novice adventurer trying to help in the distance, only to be instantly punched by the monster and cough up blood, giving him a rough idea of ​​the monster's strength.

"They are roughly the same level as Alicia and the others, making them evenly matched opponents."

"But since they are the strongest at their current level, it will only take some time to deal with them."

"Although the enemy has taken this into account and increased their numbers considerably, this is Orario, and we could attract the support of powerful adventurers at any time."

Jun Suzuki pushed up his glasses.

"In other words, if the enemy doesn't want to exhaust us before launching a final attack, then they simply want to keep us here for a while."

“It’s Rod!”

Alyssa and Ryu reacted at the same time and exclaimed in surprise.

Despite their belief in Rhodes's abilities, they couldn't help but become anxious.

"Damn it, there are too many of them. We also have to be wary of them using residents as hostages. This can't be resolved in a short time!"

"The flames of evil have no effect on me, but the dragons outside the dungeon, under human control, are really annoying!"

The sheer number of monsters, combined with their coordinated restraint, actually managed to hold off Alicia and her companions for a time.

Jun Suzuki's gaze swept over all the panicked passersby nearby.

Chapter 72 I heard that Miss Kaguya can chop people into minced meat? (Please subscribe and vote~)

"That guy must be somewhere where he can see our battlefield."

Her gaze suddenly paused, locking onto an abandoned church, and she narrowed her eyes.

"Alicie, if you could fly, how quickly could you deal with those pterosaurs?"

Alexie paused for a moment, then gave a confident smile.

"Ten minutes at most!"

the other side.

Kaguya and her companions were surrounded by more than a dozen members of the Dark Faction.

Lyra quietly pulled out a bomb, staring intently at them with a cold smile.

"I knew it! Why would someone be yelling for help and running into this alley? You guys were definitely up to something!"

Kaguya coldly gripped the hilt of her sword, her eyes gleaming with a chilling light.

"It seems some people have forgotten what happened to the ragtag soldiers who attacked us last time."

The leader of the men in black smiled and shrugged.

"I know perfectly well that we are no match for those who uphold justice, but what about her..."

The man in black pointed at Shimomura Izumi, who was between the two men.

"If I remember correctly, this guy is a stranger, a newcomer who just joined."

"Are you confident that you can protect her from harm when we go to war?"

Kaguya and Lyra's expressions turned somewhat strange upon hearing this.

The man in black assumed that he had seen through their thoughts by observing their changes in expression.

A mocking smile played on his lips, his eyes brimming with confidence and control over the situation.

The man in black brandished his weapon and said slowly and deliberately:

"So those of you who pride yourselves on your high moral character are always so easily seen through."

"If possible, I don't want a lose-lose situation, so please stay with us for a while, otherwise..."

Before he finished speaking——

Suddenly, a gunshot pierced the air, deafeningly loud.

The man in black maintained his usual contemptuous smile, completely unaware that his death was imminent.

A bullet hole appeared in the center of his forehead, from which blood gushed, and his smile froze on his face.

The next moment, his body went limp, and he collapsed to the ground, dying without warning.

The air seemed to freeze instantly as Kaguya and Leila turned to look at Shimomura Izumi in astonishment.

"..."

The gun in her hand was smoking as she spoke calmly.

"Rhodes Law Number One: Never listen to the enemy's nonsense; if you can take action, never speak!"

What are you babbling about that I can't understand?

Do you think I, a mere subhuman, am afraid of your threats?

Shimomura Izumi spoke calmly, as if stating a perfectly ordinary principle of life, but his actions were decisive and ruthless.

Kaguya and Lyra had a momentary illusion, as if this junior, who was so obedient in front of them, immediately transformed into a cold-blooded and ruthless killer once she entered battle mode!

The henchmen behind the man in black were thrown into chaos.

"What, what's going on?"

"Everyone be careful! The captain has collapsed, and his condition is unknown!"

"If his fate is unknown, then he's dead! Waaaaah, Captain!!!"

"Damn it, even the heroes of justice resort to sneak attacks! How despicable!"

"Everyone, attack together! I refuse to believe that so many of us can't defeat the three of them!"

"Avenge the captain!"

"Everything is for our great aspiration!"

Shouting words of encouragement, the henchmen, their eyes bloodshot and faces filled with grief and indignation, charged towards Kaguya and the others, shouting slogans of unity and ideals.

As Lyra threw explosives to blow up the henchmen, she couldn't help but mutter a complaint.

"Hey, hey, hey, who's the villain here?!"

Izumi Shimomura's decisive action took the two of them somewhat by surprise.

They originally intended to mentor her as her seniors, but Izumi Shimomura acted even more mature than them!

No wonder Rhodes specifically kept her by his side...

Leila wore a pleased smile.

"I was originally thinking of trying to get some information out of them, but I figured these idiots wouldn't know anything useful anyway. I'd better just do as Izumi said and take them out."

Kaguya suddenly drew her spider lily to block the arrow shot from the sky, her sharp gaze fixed on the direction from which the attack came, but she saw nothing, and her brows furrowed slightly.

"Be careful, the enemy has a powerful archer sniping at us from a distance!"

Lyra pulled out her boomerang to block the henchman's slash, and clicked her tongue.

"Having to deal with so many fearless guys while also being wary of arrows coming from the shadows is really annoying!"

In particular, Kaguya is the only one who can serve as the main fighting force, while Lyra can only defend herself against the siege.

Once Kaguya reveals a weakness, the consequences are unimaginable!

This is troublesome... The enemy specifically targeted their individual abilities!

Surrounded by tension and pressure, Leila furrowed her brows warily as she considered her options.

Just then, out of the corner of her eye, she suddenly saw Shimomura Izumi take off the seemingly heavy backpack from behind and, without warning, throw it violently into the air in front of her.

Lyra kicked another enemy away and couldn't help but ask in a low voice.

"Quan, what's wrong with you...?"

boom--

The backpack appeared to have been torn to shreds by an invisible giant hand!

As the tattered cloth scattered and flew about, four assault rifles gleaming with a cold metallic light suddenly appeared in mid-air.

Without hesitation, Shimomura Izumi took one gun with each hand, his movements swift and decisive. With a blank expression, he locked his gun onto the crowd and pulled the trigger.

In the astonished gazes of Lyra and Kaguya.

Da da da da da——

Gunfire exploded like thunder, and flashes of light and a hail of bullets poured out almost simultaneously!

The other two rifles, which had not yet touched the ground, were once again controlled by that invisible force as they were about to fall, and accurately spun and swept across the enemy who was flanking them from behind.

The sudden barrage of firepower instantly changed the expressions of the roaring enemies who charged forward.

"What kind of attack is that?!"

"Ouch, my arm hurts so much!"

"My leg is broken... Damn it, was that a magical artifact? It wasn't mentioned in the information at all!"

Fear and chaos spread rapidly through the crowd, and the team that had just been shouting slogans and filled with righteous indignation crumbled in an instant.

"I...I don't care anymore, I'm going back! There's no time to waste!"

The soldiers scrambled to escape the killing field, only to expose themselves to an even denser hail of bullets.

Shimomura Izumi indifferently kills any enemy whose back is turned to her.

In no time, the enemy's carefully laid ambush had been turned into a mountain of corpses and a sea of ​​blood, with not a single person left alive.

“…”

Lyra stood amidst the corpses shot dead, her throat tightening slightly. She swallowed hard, her expression a complex mix of shock and unease.

She gave a bitter laugh and murmured softly:

"I was wrong... I thought the so-called power of firearms was nothing special, but now it seems..."

Kaguya, standing to the side, could not hide her embarrassment. She had long since abandoned any semblance of the dignified demeanor of a Yamato Nadeshiko and quietly wiped the cold sweat from her forehead with her sleeve.

"If all the residents of Orario could master such weapons, they could probably defend the city easily even if monsters attacked..."

Her voice sounded somewhat doubtful about life.

Even if countless people who have received favors risked their lives to improve their abilities, they probably could not achieve this level of slaughter efficiency.

Leila, maintaining a rare display of rationality, shook her head, took a deep breath, and retorted:

"No, if we had a large number of guns and corresponding continuous, dense fire with no blind spots, it might not be impossible to kill a level 5 adventurer."

"But... while this weapon is more powerful than the pistols we saw before, it's still far from enough to kill monsters of the corresponding level."

Even so, her gaze lingered among the corpses, and she was still shaken.

Just as the two were still immersed in the shock and disbelief of the power of the firearms, a cold light suddenly ripped through the air!

The jet-black arrow struck Shimomura Izumi's arm with pinpoint accuracy.

Blood splattered, and Shimomura Izumi groaned, staggering.
