Claremont is an adventurer who has just stepped into the realm of "skill", and like most adventurers in the Malenor Empire, Claremont and his companions rushed from Xueton to the royal city because of the call of His Majesty the Emperor, to participate in the "Battle of the Royal City".

In addition to the factor of "profit-seeking", Claremont also has a sense of honor of "serving the country" in his heart.

Yes, he and his companions are now fighting alongside the best soldiers of the Empire, and the enemy is still a monster!

They're writing history!

It's just the process of writing, it's not that easy.

The adventurer team of more than a dozen people sacrificed three people because they encountered powerful monsters, and the survivors were more or less colored.

"How are you doing? There doesn't seem to be any movement in the vicinity, I think we should take advantage of this time to retreat, or ......"

A soldier in armor sat in a corner, sword in hand, and whispered to Claremont and the others next to him. The armor on his right arm was no longer there, and there were several loops of gauze wrapped around his arm, and even the armor on his chest was sunken with a few holes.

Of the less than twenty people he faced, half were soldiers dressed like him, and the other half were Claremont's adventurers.

Both forces broke away from the main army because of the rapidly changing battle situation, fought and fled all the way, and finally gathered under the palace walls.

Between them and the main army, there is a portal and a battle line.

Waiting for help is unrealistic, and instead of praying that your team will not encounter powerful monsters, it is better to seize the opportunity and flee back to the rear of the battle line in the direction of the large force.

As for going deep into the palace, just kidding, who knows if there are any more terrifying monsters inside!

"In that direction, behind the wall, there are a few monster breath reactions, it seems that it should not be something we can deal with...... But if you want to take a detour, there is no cover over there, and if there are monsters lurking, we estimate that it will be more than lucky. ”

"According to me, or we will climb up the wall of this palace first, isn't there a bunker over there, and perhaps we can use it as a stronghold until the battle ......is over."

"No, look at the top of the tower over there, it's full of gargoyles!

"Then break through the road behind the wall! We can't wait any longer! If we wait, there will be more and more monsters, don't you realize that the sound of the battle has been moving away from us? What does this mean? The monsters are suppressing the front-line troops!"

Everyone gave their opinions.

This group of soldiers are all ordinary soldiers of the same level, and they don't even have a squad leader, so for a while, no one stood up to take on the burden of command, let alone adventurers.

Moreover, although these soldiers seem to be well-equipped, their actual strength is actually inferior to that of these adventurers, and their actual combat experience in the face of monsters is even more so.

In any case, everyone's final opinion is still unified.

That is to break out of the encirclement at the risk of a known danger!

When it comes to their own lives, then these adventurers will no longer keep their hole cards, or rather, they will not keep them completely.

After a long period of adventurous life, they have accumulated strange magic items that ordinary soldiers can't compare to at all!

Adventurers pulled out a variety of magic items, put them on or activated them. For example, attaching a limited-number Wind Propulsion Magic Enhancement Sigil to your feet, activating a defensive rune on your heart or other vital parts, or summoning a collection of magical power around you that can attack, defend, or warn you - of course, this kind of thing is very valuable.

An adventurer, about thirty years old, gritted his teeth, ripped off the pendant he tied around his neck, injected magic power, and threw it to the ground. With a stirring of the earth, a clay figure made of earth and stone stood up.

This clay figure was only as tall as a human knee, but the magic it contained and the aura it displayed was enough to make these adventurers look sideways.

This adventurer was like a salaryman who had gone to the aristocratic high-end restaurant to spend a lot of money, distressed, but enjoyed, after the clay figure came out, he faced the gaze of his nearby companions, and said as if venting: "What are you seeing, haven't you seen the elemental servants?"

"You kid actually have such a good thing??"

"Fuck it, you're usually so picky, just spend your money here??"

Elemental servants are the preserve of legendary magicians of the Diamond Rank, but even if they are, it is not easy to summon such a thing, after all, this is not a simple high-energy elemental magic, but a minion with simple logic and the ability to self-discipline to carry out other commands such as "attack" and "defense"!

Even in Su Wen's world, artificial intelligence is still a topic that is still developing.

So this kind of thing is something that can be encountered but not sought!

After receiving the adventurer's command, the clay servant jumped up, changed his body, and turned into an armarm, which wrapped around the adventurer's left arm.

Even if it looks like an armour, this elemental minion can do more than just the effect of an armour!

"I'm afraid this thing will be sold for thousands of silver, right?"

"Don't give me a few thousand silver! What is the use of giving you ten thousand silver if you can't run out! Cheer me up, I'm ready to break through!"

Claremont glanced at it from afar, a hint of envy in his eyes. For a young adventurer like him, he couldn't afford to use such good equipment.

Speaking of elemental minions, though......

When Claremont was in Shetton, he had seen the Lord of Sherton summon a water elemental......

It was in the midst of an event to quell a political conspiracy, as it took place in the middle of the city of Sheaton, and although it was night, there were many witnesses.

Claremont will never forget the terrifying water elemental that was just as tall as a man, bursting houses with a torrent of water, shooting a group of well-armed guards with droplets of water like bullets, and blocking several bursting fireballs with a thin shield like blisters.

That picture is so shocking!!

Is this the world of the strong? even an elemental minion has the power to crush them......

So although the elemental servant in front of him was a miniature version, it had an unusual meaning to Claremont, and even to other adventurers who had witnessed the elemental servant of Hunter III.

I hope that when this thing works, it will let Yu Yin shelter them somewhat.

"Let's go!"

The adventurer who summoned the elemental servant took the lead, clenched the broadsword in his hand, and walked forward with a serious face. Everyone else responded, following suit.

This path is dangerous, and several platinum mid-level and above monsters are scattered around, in a daze, resting, or simply recuperating and waiting for prey. But there is only so much danger on this road.

Compared to several other unknown paths, choosing to turn this path is the best.

Time is pressing!

They can only challenge!

The challenge is not to defeat these monsters, just restrain them, and then take the opportunity to run away and join up with the main army!

The first monster noticed them and pounced on them. The monster's huge body and powerful momentum completely suppressed any of them.

But in this situation where they would die if they didn't act, these soldiers and adventurers still kept their actions under the pressure in their hearts.

No one closes their eyes and waits for death! In the case of an imminent attack, if you close your eyes, you are truly giving up!

Keep moving!

The people in the queue scattered left and right, playing the role of distracting the target, and at the same time, using their own skills to interfere with the control of this monster.

For humans, it is difficult to kill a powerful monster, but if you want to cause trouble, harass and delay, it is very simple.

Humans have intelligence, and this wisdom will allow humans to develop many amazing skills!

For example, flash magic that interferes with monsters' vision, scent potions that interfere with smell, slime or chains that interfere with movement......

First monster, bypass!

"Ah——h

But at this moment, a scream came from the mouth of the last adventurer, and the long voice dragged a tail and farther and farther away.

Half of them didn't look back, they only focused on the danger ahead, and if they looked back, it would affect their mood and their actions would be affected, and the other half would look back.

What caught their eyes was the image of the monster's tail piercing the adventurer's abdomen, dragging him back into the monster's mouth.

In the interference battle, the monster did not lose. After all, all kinds of monsters have perception mechanisms that humans cannot understand or have not yet discovered.

"Rush!"

The people in front of them quickened their pace, and escaped from the hands of several monsters along the way.

"Grass, it's over......"

The adventurer who rushed to the front, with the elemental minions, suddenly stopped and stood in place, his face pale and his expression stiff.

Following his movements, more and more people also noticed the dense pile of skeleton soldiers on the stone bridge in front of them...... If it's an ordinary skeleton soldier, it's okay to give up, and there is a fifty percent chance of killing it, but these skeletons on the bridge are all high-level monsters with blue fire in their heads!!

Finished......

That's really the end......

In front of them was the moat of the palace, and this stone bridge was the only way to pass.

Damn, why is this stuff happening??

The mutual interference of the monster aura made these people not perceive the existence of this group of high-level skeleton soldiers. And the skeletons, when people stopped, noticed them.

The skeleton soldiers rushed like a tide, and behind them, the monsters that had been controlled before also broke free from their restraints and chased after them!

There are wolves in front and tigers in the back!...... It's really over......

Jumping into the river? Impossible, these monsters are much more flexible than humans in the water......

If only I could fly at this time...... If only there was someone who was a hidden master at this time...... If only reinforcements arrived at this time......

In the minds of Claremont and others, countless desperate assumptions, or rather, beautiful fantasies, arose.

That's all......

Haha, in this case, it can be regarded as "sacrificing his life for the country", right? If my father knew, would he be proud? Or rather, reduce my mother's sadness?

Claremont unleashed all of his fighting spirit and rushed towards the tide of skeletons. The adventurer with the elemental minion also summoned his clay elemental and let it rush to the front - many people thought so, and it would not lose if you could change one.

However, in front of them are skeleton soldiers with blue fire, and they will not sit back and wait to be killed like ordinary miscellaneous soldiers.

Before the humans could get closer, a large fireball with blue flames shot out, dense like raindrops, and there was nowhere to escape.

People immediately switched from attack to defense, dodging and resisting these powerful fireballs.

It's over, being forced like this, I can only wait for death......

At this moment, despair really shrouded in people's hearts.

Claremont didn't want to sit still, at least, he didn't want to die for nothing. Therefore, he still kept his eyes open, staring at the army of blue flame skeletons rushing in front of him.

Densely packed human heads...... There are more than a hundred or so of them? Who were these people when they were alive? And why did they become skeleton soldiers and appear here? Will they become like them when they die?

There was a stirring blue fire in front of him, and Claremont's thoughts drifted far away...... Far away......

So when the air cones that fell from the sky and were inserted into the group of skeletons with a screaming sound of air currents fell one after another, Claremont did not react immediately.

"Click, click, click......"

The clatter of the cyclone cone stabbing against the skeleton's skull or other bones made Claremont pull back the kite string that was holding his thoughts.

Pull hard.

This is...... What the heck!?

After a dense rain of air cones bombarded with arrows, the Blue Flame Skull Sea, which had been menacing before, actually stopped in a few seconds, as if it had been pressed into the water by a big hand, and it couldn't make a sound.

In any case, the danger in front of them suddenly disappeared like a miracle, and Claremont and the others decided to cross the stone bridge first.

And when they stepped onto the stone bridge and settled down, they turned back and wanted to see the situation behind them - they didn't know where the cyclone cone came from, but there was nothing suspicious in front of their field of vision just now, so it was very likely that the maker of the cyclone cone was in the rear.

So in the rear, what is there?

There are monsters that are chasing, and with Claremont's knowledge, there is no way to identify the type of monster being chased in the first place, after all, he has never faced such a powerful monster directly.

There was a round of cyclone cones, a new round of cyclone cones! After a violent concussion, the monster chasing in front of him was bleeding all over his body, like a colander in water.

And also.

There are also two constantly spinning air masses in the middle of the air not far away, the air flow masses with magical brilliance, and the air flow masses without a trace of magical breath leaking out!

...... Yuan...... Elemental minions??

As for the elemental servants, Claremont had specifically learned about them since he saw the one from Baron Shetton, so he immediately recognized the two magical air currents floating in the air, which were elemental servants.

And it's not your average elemental minion!

But...... Why would such elemental minions be here......? Which strong man came to save us? Could it be Mr. Van Burro?!

However, no one answered Claremont's question.

The two elemental minions slowly floated towards the crowd, seemingly without the slightest intention of attacking.

"This should be a strong man summoned to help us! Great, we are saved!"

"They seem to be following us! Get out of here now!"

"No...... Wait a minute. The adventurer who was in control of the Earth Elemental Servant looked in the direction of the palace in a daze, slowly pointed his hand over, and said with some trembling, "Look...... Is that...... What?!"

In the direction he pointed, a cloud of light like a nebula spread out above the palace like a carpet, and if you look closely, you can find the delicate magic patterns carved on this "carpet".

This is a magic array at all!!A super-large, super-giant magic array!!

Around the magic array, there are constantly small magic arrays that open and then close, and every time they flicker, an elemental servant is born. In addition to the cyclone elemental they had already seen, there was also a flaming fire elemental, a flowing water elemental, a stiff cloud of ice......

Is this some kind of miracle?

After the Elemental Servant was born, it spread out like fireworks and landed around the Imperial Palace. As soon as it lands, it will automatically look for traces of monsters and chase them down. Or go to the survivors who have broken away from the large army and act as a guard.

Oh, my God......

Claremont looked at the "carpet" and his mind went blank.

......

"......" Regina gasped a few times, stood aside, and watched Su Wen pull out this "carpet" like pulling an Indian dumping cake, and then infused it with magic power, constantly summoning elemental minions in a "group".

"......" Ellie sat obediently on the edge of the flower bed, also not daring to move, these elemental minions, even her, are not easy to deal with. And now, Su Wen actually created such a large group......

"......" Fei pretended to be calm and pretended to be "commonplace", although she had seen Su Wen show her strength, but when she saw it again, she was also shocked.

"Haha, don't you have a fragment of my skill in those memories?" Su Wen tilted his head, glanced at Rejana, and said with a smile.

Rejana shook her head and gave a negative answer. In the memories she inherited, although there were fragments that proved that Su Wen was "powerful", almost all of them were to the extent of "point to point", and it was the first time she had seen such a big battle.

The "solution" that Su Wen said is indeed a solution......

So many elemental minions...... It's more than enough to stop such a monster coming, isn't it? No...... If it is used for military purposes, then the conquest of the continent is not a problem, right?

The number of elemental minions is almost equal to that of the monsters that come out of the portal, but their strength is crushing the monsters.

A squadless team like Claremont, in the entire battlefield, I don't know how many, but all of them were escorted by elemental servants who fell from the sky like life-saving gods, and retreated to the rear;

"Seven, eight, ninety, and ninety magic guide cannons in a salvo, knock out the ghost-headed griffon on the far left!!Let the first and second squads go to the right to reinforce the bloodthirsty hyena army!!Don't worry about the mountain rock king eight in the middle and rear!!"

Ivor pulled his throat, looking a little impatient.

After all, the pressure brought by monsters is getting bigger and bigger. The battle has gradually evolved from the previous free field battle to the current strategic war of deploying troops and commanders, and Ivor, as the commander, must think clearly about how to fight next.

Although the order was arranged, the biggest threat they faced now was still the king in Ivor's mouth. Because of its relatively slow movement, Ivor plans to clear out the monsters on both sides first, and then decide whether to fight or retreat depending on the situation.

But even so, assuming that all four high-powered magic cannons can successfully hit the ghost-headed griffin and incapacitate it, the bloodthirsty hyena next to it is not so easy to solve......

This thing is in groups, and there is no such function as "escape", "fear" and "evasion", and once the prey is found, it is often a situation of non-death.

Even ordinary monsters, when they see them, they can only run. But after all, they can't bite the big king in the back, so they can only run over and bite people......

Ivor calculated the strength of both sides in his heart, praying for hope that there would be fewer sacrifices.

There is really no good way to deal with these things, it may be possible to use poison, but considering the sake of regional and sustainable development, poison is absolutely unusable, after all, this is the palace, and if you win the battle, His Majesty the Emperor will come back to live......

If you attack from a distance, you can do it, but the cost is a huge amount of money. In order to kill such monsters, crossbows and arrows must be specially enhanced with attack magic...... The cost of an arrow is not a small amount, and there are not that many reserves in the army!!

Even if there is, it won't be possible to give you just one war zone ration!

Once the battle is engaged, these elite soldiers and excellent young people under his command will inevitably suffer a lot of casualties.

"......" Ivor sighed silently, even though he was a general, he couldn't help but feel the cruelty of war and the fragility of life. The truly ruthless politicians, in the Maleno Empire, were still in the minority.

Ivor never prayed to those ethereal gods, but now, he suddenly thought of the "young man" who turned the tide when the gray giant descended on the royal city some time ago......

Since he is a friend of Princess Regina, he must be helping too, right? But given the current situation, maybe he would have joined in a long time ago?......

However, at this moment, a blush lit up the sky at the front.

Ever's vision gradually faded into a touch of red, which interrupted Ivor's train of thought, causing him to raise his head and look into the distance.

"What the fuck ......"

Everten stood up suddenly, scolded angrily, and after scolding, he realized that he was not on crutches, and his movements were too hard to pull the wound on his leg, which hurt for a while, and then kept the shape of his cursed mouth, and gasped.

Because in the distance, there are flames one after another!!Blazing flames!!

"it, here's the thing, herald!Tell everyone to retreat!!Retreat to the rear!!" Ivor ordered as he turned to the sluggish adjutant next to him.

Because in Ivor's eyes, these flames are monsters that have escaped from the portal.

"Yes!!" the adjutant instinctively agreed, and was about to deliver the order, but at this moment, the flames in the sky actually shot out a fireball rain like a meteor shower!!

The target of the shot is the battle line on Ivor's side!!

It's too late......

Damn, I didn't die last time, is this time still going to be over?

Ivor felt a little ridiculous, a little toothache, and a pair of crutches before he died, which was too unrelenting. Between life and death, these thoughts actually came to my mind, and Ivor felt a little unbelievable.

The fireball rain fell, getting closer and bigger, and the fireball, which looked like an apple from a distance, had now become like a wheel.

Damn, this fireball is really big.

Damn, how many did I say today?

Ivor tried to close his eyes, but his eyelids didn't listen.

Then, Ivor saw that these wheel-sized fireballs suddenly changed direction and fell vertically as they approached the battle line.

After being accelerated by gravity for a while, it suddenly turns, as if it has eyes, to bombard their target, a pack of bloodthirsty hyenas that run wildly.

"Boom!!boom!!boom!!!!

The explosions rang out one after another, and the fireballs exploded on the bloodthirsty hyena's body, directly blasting into shattered charcoal!

Even if Eden-sama is reincarnated, such a fireball can't be rubbed out!!

Huh?

Ivor was stunned.

What's the situation with this fireball??

Turtle, this thing is actually on our side??What is this?! Rejana didn't say it!!!......

Ivor suddenly had a dark feeling in his heart, the kind of dark coolness after being saved by a miracle.

And those soldiers who felt the fireball up close had the same experience at the same time.

This...... It must have been a god descending from the earth, right?

"That's ...... Fire Elemental!?" The unknown soldier blurted out.

"They're with us!!" Some people instantly recognized the form.

"Oh my God...... That's a lot!!That's a lot, isn't it??" and some people reacted to the unreality of the scene in front of them.

The soldiers were also stunned.

The bloodthirsty hyenas, which had been on full alert and ready to sacrifice to deal with before, disappeared after a burst of fireball bombardment! A round of bombardment, as if it had been accurately targeted! All the hyenas were gone! Blown to pieces! But not a single fireball was accidentally injured or smashed on the ground!!

Even the soldiers who were fighting the monsters exploded in front of their eyes, and they didn't suffer any physical physical damage! Of course, the mental fright was still a little bit.

The minions of the fire elemental on the horizon have gathered together, and they are more qualified to receive the term "fire cloud" than the fire cloud.

Then, the next round of attacks was launched. This time, their targets were the lone monsters scattered around the battle line. It's still a rainball of fireballs, and after the explosion is over, the aura of nearby monsters is decreasing at a perceptible rate.

"Oh my God...... Is this a miracle?"

Only Ivor was vaguely aware that the "mastermind" behind all this should be the "black-haired young man." ”

......

After Su Wen was busy with the things at hand, he was idle and sat on the flower bed, sitting side by side with the three of them. After summoning these elemental minions, Su Wen didn't need to take action in person.

The next thing to do is to wait for the battle to end, and then let Regina go out to finish it, and go to those old acquaintances to explain it herself, and let Ellie take Fei to Rejana's room to avoid the limelight for a while......

"What do you think I'm doing?"

"......" the three girls were speechless.

"Aren't you scared? Well, I didn't think I'd do this, it's much more convenient to use than fireballs and stuff...... Yes...... Sneeze!!"

Speaking of the back, Su Wen suddenly sneezed, which made him a little baffled.

“...... Generally speaking, if you sneeze right now, someone should think that you are behind it. Ellie said weakly, then muttered again, adding, "That's what it was all written on." ”

Regina nodded in affirmation, and Faye turned her head and looked at the two curiously, waiting for an explanation for "". After all, in Fei's time, she didn't have time to look at these things.

Or, in a place that Su Wen didn't know, Fei would also look at it secretly. At this time, I looked at the two of them, just to understand what kind of wonderful stories there are in the world hundreds of years later.
