Chapter 36: The Mentor (2)

The adventurers who were in charge of fighting against the mid-level and above were in charge of the vanguard through the horde of monsters and retreated to the rear, and the team of guards was ordered to hold on until they healed from their injuries and ran out of supplies.

Ten minutes have passed since the assault began, and the army has changed from offensive to defensive, and there is no one in front, only Warcraft, that is, this is the front line.

The scarred backs of the retreating adventurers can be seen in the back, new scratches and burns on the armor, and blood-stained spots.

Farther behind, a wall of fire can be seen. This is the place where the assault is 150 meters away, and when the assault unfolds, no one notices the appearance of this wall of fire behind them, obviously the rear is a supply site, but it can't penetrate this wall of fire anyway.

Can you only enter but not exit......

Krota sat next to Firefly, resting on the rest necessary to defeat greed.

Using the deaths of countless soldiers and adventurers in exchange for their own rest, not only Crota, but also Luluwei and Crantiel and Rhine Tanya, at this time, the strongest of them are very fragile, as if they can be easily destroyed.

"It's okay, the monster didn't chase the adventurers, the enemy must not want to attack, and plan to consolidate the defense, it's okay, it won't be attacked."

Someone else said the same thing, and the words he uttered in order to relieve his extreme anxiety and pray for him to return alive were repeated over and over again like a prayer to the gods.

Guarding the front line of the barrier were thousands of guards, armed with spears and wearing leather armor, although there were also Imperial knights involved, who were called knights, but they were actually no different from ordinary guards.

Unlike the Four Knights, those were only physically stronger than the average guard, or smarter and stronger than the younger guards.

His face was pale, his hands were so tightly gripping the gun that his face turned white, and his feet were trembling slightly, and his eyes were fixed on the front because he did not dare to look elsewhere, this was too unreliable to make the other guards uneasy.

However, he is not to blame, because this is his first thin-life battle.

It is true that every year the Empire marches to the plains to meet the Kingdom of Berlu, however, because of his mission to defend the city, he never went to the battlefield to fight against the Empire until recently, when the requirements for knight selection were lowered and he was chosen as a knight......

So far, he has only been involved in petty disputes such as drunken quarrels, and rarely intervenes to stop the bloodshed, so his fear is even stronger, and the reason why he can suppress his desire to run away is because he is sure that if he dares to escape, he will not be able to eat and walk around.

Even if he won't be punished, he has become a knight to serve the empire, and if he doesn't complete the task well and affects his morale, it is already good to kill him in public.

"I can't stand it, I can't stand it, when this thing is over, I must quit this job......"

He muttered in a low voice, and several people around him agreed.

"And do you remember what the adventurers said they said?"

"Are you saying that they encountered Hellhounds, Prototype Hunting Spiders, and high-level Monsters, One-Eyed Demons?"

"Yes, and ogres, does anyone have an impression of those monsters? Especially if you hit their weaknesses, or what do you hate? ”

No one answered, everyone just looked at each other.

The knight clearly said "It's useless" on his face, and when he saw the dissatisfied expressions on the faces of several people, he changed his anger to other directions.

"Damn! That adventurer, can't you make it clearer? ”

The adventurers who told the guards about the Beast Consultation were seriously injured and were in a hurry to retreat, so they could only say the name of the Beast, and they did not have the strength to tell them what the Beast looked like or what kind of attack it had.

However, it would be too cold to blame the adventurers for this, because the guards and adventurers did not practice well, and when the consultation was not well communicated, it can be said that it was a strategic mistake to use the guards who knew nothing about the construction of the defense line, and not all the knights did not get local advice, and Krota had already made the news public, but most of them still did not know.

The team that learned of this news transferred several guards to help carry the adventurers to the rear and asked for detailed consultations.

However, the group did not do so, as the knights in the group were newcomers and had little experience, and did not dare to reduce the number of guards guarding the barrier.

"They should have taken more money than we did! It's time to work harder! Don't be afraid of death! ”

The knight shouted and cursed, and several others agreed.

"We're fighting for our lives! Then they should also insist on fighting to the death, and they should not retreat! ”

The knight asked the guards beside him, he didn't notice the cold gaze of the guards in the distance, and only cared about the guards beside him loudly counting the adventurers.

"In that case, how about you go and do that job for them, and I'll pay you double?"

The cold voice startled the knight, and it was Klaas, who had graduated from the knight academy at the same level as himself.

He didn't dare to speak, because his strength was completely inferior to him.

"Here we are."

Shifting his gaze to Klaas, he shouted, and the knight immediately showed a disgusting and vomiting expression.

Everyone saw the figure of the demonic beast walking along the road.

Walking in front is a monster that looks like a frog and a human merging, the skin color is completely green, the guards form a defensive circle behind Klaas, who is responsible for opening the way, decisively slaughters the group of monsters of different colors and appearances.

Like a flying squirrel, Klaas shuttled between enemy troops, cutting off the heads of the low-level monsters around him with precision.

The small beasts were flown by Klaas's greatsword, and then shattered by his flaming left fist punch and whirling kick, sending blood foam into the air.

"Captain, the knight...... I guess I'm on the same level as you. ”

"Ah...... yes, the best rookie knight, I'm not as good as him......"

The fighting continued for a minute, and after breaking out of the siege, he heard screams from behind him, and Klaas ran and looked at it, only to see a huge rhinoceros monster with its horns on its face kicking away the guards around it.

The frog-like beast opened its straight mouth to swallow a human being, and its strangely long tongue licked the air, surrounded by hellhounds who were expecting feed.

Most of the low-level demonic beasts that Klaas dealt with were low-level demonic beasts, although they were numerous, but they were only several times stronger than the guards in terms of strength, and they were followed by a group of spiky, crustacean demonic beasts.

That is, a total of fifty demonic beasts.

"There are too many!".

The knight let out a scream like a broken gong.

"No more...... If you want to run, run away! ”
