The Wyverns moved through the cloudy, obscured sky an occurrence Christia had witnessed before. However, what she had never seen in the hundreds of years since the establishnt of the Labyrinth Conquerors was them carrying Orcs on their backs.
Upon closer observation, the Wyverns had saddles to provide stability for the riders, their seating part made of a blue, sticky Sli-like material. In any case, they were evidently not regular horse saddles.
Faced with this unprecedented situation, Christia felt a mont of unease, but she quickly redirected her focus, descending straight down. As the pursuing monsters closed in, she prepared to cast .
However, the spider-type monsters that had bitten into Weiss body burned up in an instant, turning into charcoal. The bite marks that were all over his body quickly healed, enabling him to continue swinging his swords amidst the horde of monsters.
.
anwhile, Alma, still covered in fluids, also quietly unleashed her rage. Holding the Black Staff that she had borrowed from Cecilia, she swiftly annihilated the monsters on the ground. Close-ranged Attackers exploited the opening created by Weiss, cutting down the monsters left and right.
I REALLY need a break, Diniel said as she calmly shot arrows at the approaching airborne monsters.
. There you go.
Tsutomu, by Diniels side, healed the Tanks and served as an extra pair of eyes for Diniel.
You know, Tsutomu, I think theyre targeting us specifically. You should get away.
The speculation that only Explorers were being targeted seed accurate, judging by the fact that the Labyrinth Conquerors and the marching band were mostly unscathed. However, even among them, monsters targeting Tsutomu were clearly more abundant, and Diniel looked at him with a gaze reminiscent of seeing a jinx.
. Wait, so why is it US? . Even if theres a commander-type monster in this Stampede, theres no way every single one of them can know what it wants.
The Wyverns are clearly not normal, too. Theyre way too good at dodging arrows and the Orcs sohow know how to deflect attacks. Its so annoying.
While she complained, Diniel predicted the direction one of the Wyverns would dodge and released two arrows. Following the satisfying sound of the impact, the Wyverns muffled cry echoed. The Orc on it tried to block the other arrow with its shield, only to fall from its mount, the arrow dragging it down by its arm.
The two Clans serving as the rearguard were also retreating, their horses fleeing through the gaps in the monsters ranks. Among them, the ones who played the central role were Weiss, with the ability of for automatic recovery, and Garm, making use of his experience and high VIT.
Were counting on you, Garm.
Leave it to .
If he were to be honest, Tsutomu did not want his Clan mbers to take risks. However, when considering everyones abilities and making the best decision, such choices had to be made.
Tsutomu, contrary to his inner thoughts, gave clear instructions with a resolute attitude and let Garm take charge as the rearguard. After the battles with the Shell Crab and the Fire Dragon, Garm had recognized Tsutomu as the leader, and as such had no doubts about his decision.
Even when facing the Fire Dragon and Devourer Dragon, Tsutomu had always given the best instructions without any sign of fear. Garm, being appointed as the rearguard by Tsutomu, wore a proud expression and then there was Daryl, looking at Garm with a slightly envious gaze.
.
!
While Garm and Weiss held the line, drawing the attention of the monsters, the Attackers continued to unleash their attacks. As the corpses of monsters piled up one after another, a mass of green gas flew in an arc, landing on the two rearguards.
, .
Tsutomu, as one of the Healers, worked tirelessly to provide support and recovery to himself and his companions, contributing to the annihilation of monsters. Though they were still dealing with the pincer attack from the ground and sky, they managed to retreat at sufficient speed.
The band withdrew to safety on their carriages, and the Labyrinth Conquerors headed to assist the two Clans targeted by the monsters. With the addition of the Labyrinth Conquerors, the situation beca much more favorable but the rearguard was still struggling.
No need to hold the line anymore! Just run! The Stampede is upon us!
All right! No need to tell us twice!
The ground continued to crack, and more Wyverns rained down from the sky like a storm. Behind them, a massive horde of monsters the Stampede approached. The mbers of the Labyrinth Conquerors and Scarlet Devil Squad simultaneously turned around, casting and finding suitable horses to mount while they made their escape.
As a precaution, Tsutomu, receiving Undines protection through a , approached Garm. Cecilia, the Healer of the Scarlet Devil Squad, followed close behind him.
Garm, retreats already been called. Were leaving.
It has? Well, all right
Cmon, Weiss, youre pushing it. Lets get out of here.
Yeah.
The four of them, with the support of the band and the Labyrinth Conquerors, withdrew from their position. After that, they simply directed their horses forward as the whole frontline force was forced to retreat to Sentrea.
