Everyone is a hero, but I am a second-year player.

I will not give you the opportunity to speak one by one because there is no time.

So, show of hands.

If you want to retreat, raise your hand; if you want to hold on, don't raise your hand.

The minority obeys the majority.

Let’s vote.”

"Wait!" Layton suddenly stood up and shouted, "We can't retreat! We must hold on!!"

"Oh, then don't raise your hand." Shiloh glanced at him unhappily.

“No, I mean, no one can retreat!

Us! Everyone!

must!

Defend this land! ! "

Layton shouted, raising his clenched fist.

"If you want to protect me, then stay. You can't force everyone to stay and die with you." Shiloh frowned, his tone slightly angry.

"No! Not to die!

We just need to hold on a little longer.

"Hold on! Hold on until support arrives, and we will survive this disaster!" Layton shouted.

The other brave men in the tent were all stunned.

support?

What support?

At this point, who can support them?

"No, I can't hold on until the support arrives." Xi Luo frowned and shook his head, his eyes full of resentment, "An hour...

We can only hold on for another hour at most, and then this place will fall.

So, the decision must be made now.”

101 The Frustrated Sword Hero

The reality that we have to face is that now all the brave men, whether they are on the front line or in the meeting here, cannot stop these stone monsters.

The enemy was getting closer and closer, and the heroes were already trying their best to delay their movement.

However, it only delays them and cannot stop them completely.

In fact, this one hour does not mean that the brave men can only delay for one hour.

But if we don't prevent the other party from moving, it will only take an hour or even less for the other party to get here.

This period of time is used to allow the heroes to evacuate and notify the surrounding cities of the situation.

An hour is not a long time, and it passes in the blink of an eye when you are busy. This is also the time that must be reserved after careful consideration.

The brave men have done their duty by guarding until the last hour.

Because it is completely impossible to stop this group of stone giants.

Layton stared into Shiloh's eyes, his brows furrowed;

“Shiloh, oh, no, Miss Shiloh, you’ve changed.

You weren't like this before. You're no longer the 'Sword Hero' I knew.

One hour, so what?! Isn't there still a lot of time to hold them back?!

The Shiloh I know won't give up with only an hour left!

The Shiloh I know will fight to the last second!!”

Both of them are passionate people. They became quite familiar with each other during the attack on Sword Demon City, so they are used to calling each other by their names.

At the same time, the two of them admired each other very much.

But now Layton found that the passionate Shiloh was gone.

The former Shiloh whose mind was full of battles was gone.

"Ah, yes! You're right, I've changed!" Shiloh slammed the table and stood up, "So what if I waste time and energy and drag it out until the last second?!

Grit your teeth and hold on until the last second! The result will not change!"

"That's better than just running away without doing anything!!" Layton roared.

Layton was right, Shiloh had changed.

Because she had already tasted what it felt like to try your best but not be able to change anything.

When she first encountered the group of stone giants, she chose to fight and let everyone fight with her.

But the end result was that no matter how you attacked the opponent, they would reorganize infinitely, and fighting until the very last moment made everyone miss the chance to escape.

With the team's overall agility, as long as they chose to escape at the beginning, there would be no way that this group of stone giants could catch up with them.

However, due to too much fighting with the opponent, he was trapped in the opponent's magic.

At that time, Shiloh was indeed still insisting on fighting until the last moment.

It was not until Filia brought Ireif's instructions and gave her a way out that she pretended to be unconvinced and ran away.

Afterwards, her regret grew even stronger.

Although the other three members of her team were not seriously injured, but...

There were casualties among other teams traveling together.

Because of her reckless and meaningless behavior, her comrades died meaninglessly.

It's not about dying heroically on the battlefield for humanity, for this world.

Just because she ordered it.

It was just because she didn't understand at that time that fighting against these stone men was completely meaningless.

Not a single demon was killed, only a dozen of them were held back, and after fighting with the brave warriors, these dozen quickly caught up with the team.

Didn’t Shiloh fight to the end?

She certainly fought to the end.

However, her maximum increase in [Strength] attribute seemed so insignificant when facing [Toughness] which was almost equal to her [Strength].

Shiloh could never have imagined that he was almost completely unable to chop these stone monsters in half. A single chop could only leave a thin scratch on them.

Compared to the blade, the back of the knife can create even deeper cracks.

Her sharp blade was completely restrained by these monsters and could not cause any effective damage.

In contrast, even if a hero using a blunt weapon is not as strong as her, he can easily break the opponent's defense under high toughness.

The Shiloh that Layton saw had changed, indeed changed.

Now standing in front of Layton was Shiloh, who was completely overwhelmed by a feeling of powerlessness.

What's the point of her enthusiasm against a monster that is impossible to defeat?

"There's no time." Layton turned his eyes away from Shiloh, "I don't have time to wake you up!

We don't have time to waste here!

Listen carefully everyone!

I am the Shield Hero! Layton Sickley!

Just yesterday, the Shield Hero had just attacked the Goblin Empire!

Although it's sudden, but at this moment, here! I'm here to help you through this difficult time!"

As he shouted, a white light flashed in Layton's hand, and a giant shield made of goblin bones was raised in his hand.

In the middle of the shield is a large goblin skull, and above the skull is a golden crown.

This is;

【Goblin King Shield】

"Shield...Shield Hero?!"

At this time, a brave man at the scene finally reacted.

They were just wondering, who is this person who always goes against Shiloh?

Among so many brave warriors in Silver Moon Fortress, who dares to disobey Shilo?

She is the strongest hero after the [Sword Hero]!

Although her role in this battle is limited, it does not prevent her from being at the top of the current brave world.

But when Layton revealed his identity, everyone finally reacted.

The "Layton" that Shiloh just mentioned, isn't that [The Shield Hero: Layton Shikla]? !

Standing in the middle of the tent was a brave warrior whose status and rank were no lower than Shiloh's!!

"What I have in my hand is the Goblin King Shield!

Just yesterday, oh no, the day before yesterday, we successfully conquered the Goblin Empire!

In one breath, he killed nearly a thousand level five goblins, sixty-four level six goblins, and fifteen level seven goblin king servants.

There is also a level eight goblin, the strongest in the Goblin Empire, the Goblin King!

Did anyone think we could overthrow the entire Goblin Empire two months, three months, four months ago?!

No!

Even I don’t think so!

Because, at that time, I had no idea what kind of enemy I was facing! I had no idea how to defeat him!

“But at the end of the day, we won.

After a month of hard fighting, we overthrew the entire Goblin Empire and killed all the goblins in the forest!

Everyone here is facing an enemy that you feel you can never defeat, right?

What I want to tell you is -

Will win!

It’s like the Goblin Empire that seemed insurmountable at first has now been conquered!

As long as we hold on to this land until support arrives, we will win!! "

"But these demons are not on the same level as goblins..."

At this time, another hero said frustratedly.

102 The Devil's Hero, 38 years old (4k)

[Creature: Rock Giant (★7)

Strength: 50 Agility: 20 Stamina: ∞

Resilience: 70 Magic: 50 Intelligence: 0

Skills: 0]

Unlike the Goblins with high attack and agility, the Rock Giants have high strength and toughness.

Moreover, their bodies, composed entirely of stone, further enhance their resilience.

The reason why the brave warriors who use blunt weapons can break it is not because their strength is far greater than the opponent's toughness.

Rather, when the opponent was reorganizing, the plant-type heroes mixed a large number of plants in the rocks, and with the interference of the earth-type heroes, their structure became much looser.

This is the result obtained by the brave warriors after countless attempts and efforts during this period.
