As we spoke, the attackers who had been attacked by surprise began to react.

"Retreat! Fall back! There are high-ranking mages in the opposing team! ”

The advancing team stopped their pace and tried to retreat out of the magic's range.

However, it is easy to move forward and difficult to retreat.

The thousands of people on the other side were already numerous, and their mobility was very poor. In addition, because the team was formed temporarily and there was a lack of unified command, this retreat was suddenly scattered.

The people behind could not walk, and the forward team trying to escape back to the mountainside could not get out of the fight. There have even been quite a few places where there has been infighting.

……………

"Master, the meteor rain has had a miraculous effect, not only causing heavy casualties on the other side, forcing the other party to abandon one-third of the vanguard troops, but also greatly damaging morale." Buck, who had been watching the battlefield carefully, said with a happy expression.

"Don't get too happy, it's too early to decide. And," I said, staring him in the eye, "stop calling me master, at least add my last name." I don't want to look so high. ”

“…… Yes, Einomiya-sama. The strong man hesitated, and finally compromised.

…………

About ten minutes later, the last wave of meteor fire fell, and the vanguard of the attack was almost completely wiped out.

After the remaining two-thirds of the team suffered this wave of blows, morale can be said to have fallen to the bottom.

"Damn, go to war without asking for clear information. Fortunately, Lao Tzu had a heart and did not rush to the front recklessly. Otherwise, it would have been baked into charcoal a long time ago! A shirtless man swore and cursed.

And with him taking the lead, the dissatisfaction of the crowd that had accumulated to the peak suddenly exploded.

"It's just, how can you march so hastily? You don't take our lives seriously! ”

"Cut, the siege is still being beaten like this, whoever wants to continue will continue, anyway, Lao Tzu won't do it!"

This group of people who have no beliefs or pursuits originally reluctantly got together because of interests, and they planned to bully us because of the strength of the crowd. The slightest setback is instantly torn apart, and it can no longer be united.

Many people had already turned around and walked down the mountain.

…………

Thanks to the magic that enhances my hearing and vision, I can see and hear it all clearly.

Seeing this scene, I felt a little lighter in my heart.

It seems that the enemy is easier to deal with than expected.

Ios unleashes a meteor shower and disintegrates on its own, which is naturally the best outcome.

…………

The shirtless man who took the lead was the first to go down the mountain.

However, at the passage down the mountain, there was a figure standing there.

The man was dressed in iron armor, showing a burly and tall figure. The helmet was also tightly covered, with only a slit in the eye area exposed.

He looked quietly at the top of the hill, silent, like a statue cast of iron.

Looking at the dress, it should be a knight.

However, the strange thing is that his armor does not have any patterns or even logos. This is a far cry from a knight who sees glory as his life.

…………

"Boy, get out of the way, you're in the way of the uncle!" The man squinted his eyes and said to the knight, his tone was very unkind.

"Are you planning to escape?" The knight turned to the man in front of him, his voice low and hoarse but unexpectedly polite.

"Yes and what? If you don't give way, the uncle will slash you with a knife! The man waved his long knife at the knight, threatening.

"It's so easy to abandon your companions who share life and death, and live alone in peace?" In the face of the man's coercion, the knight did not move at all, and did not even shake his voice.

"Bastard, don't you have eyes? This group of things is also worthy of being my uncle's companions? The man pointed to the crowd behind him and spat disdainfully on the ground.

"Even if it's a temporary partner, it's supposed to be a life savvy. Since you fight together, you are equivalent to giving your back to your companions. If you run away, won't you kill everyone? The knight patiently persuaded.

"Neurotic, Uncle will kill you first!" For some reason, the man suddenly became furious, raised his knife and slashed at the knight's head!

…………

Bang!

The man's wrist was clamped tightly by the knight's suddenly outstretched hand.

The knight's movements were so fast that no one could see his movements.

"Ah......h It hurts, it hurts, let it go! Let it go! ”

The man's palm was weakly opened, and the long knife fell to the ground with a "dang long".

His face contorted, and he fell to his knees involuntarily.

…………

The people around were attracted by the commotion here, and looked at the nameless knight with a look of surprise.

"Your Excellency, this is the only thing that must be remembered. The weapons in your hands are meant to protect what you hold dear, not to harm others. It is precisely because you are not fighting with the right beliefs in your heart that you can easily lose it. Grabbing the man's wrist, the knight leaned down slightly, meeting the man's eye level, and his tone was soft and authentic.

Looking at the knight's visor at hand, the man opened his mouth wide, forgetting even the pain for a moment.

The knight laughed, let go of the stunned man's wrist, picked the long knife from the ground, and put it back into the man's hand.

"Hehe, Your Excellency must hold it tightly this time, in order to protect what you want to protect."

With that, the knight stood up and looked around at the crowd.

"Ladies and gentlemen, I don't want to say anything, but have you forgotten the purpose of this march? If you can't destroy the Holy Sword Envoy on the top of the mountain, I'm afraid you will never have a chance to meet Queen Skaha. The knight's voice was neither light nor heavy, but it resounded like thunder in everyone's hearts.

"Yes...... But they have high-ranking magicians, and the previous march has already suffered heavy losses, do you want us all to die? Someone questioned.

"Please rest assured of that. With such a large range of magic, it would take a long time for even the most powerful mages to prepare again. This time is enough for us to organize another attack. "Knight's way.

Listening to the knight's words, the people around him couldn't help but talk left and right.

"You may be right...... But don't forget that there is a holy sword envoy on the top of the mountain...... Even if we can rush forward, we won't be able to deal with the Holy Sword with the number of people we have left. ”

A moment later, a new question was raised, but the people had a clear respect for the Unknown Knight.

"I'll deal with that holy sword, and I'll keep her in check. I'll leave the others to you. ”

The strong confidence contained in the knight's tone brightened the hearts of everyone present.
