The young man was the adjutant to the platoon’s commander, he carried a shi+eld on his back and rode his horse beside the coency

“I’d like the credit for it, but I’d rather not run into the chased by that monster……”

Saying that, the co the briefing from his breast pocket and scrunched his eyebrows as he looked at the sketch of the never seen before monster

“Does such a strange monster really exist?”

However, neither the armor nor the metal shi+elds of the deforn of rust and the blade of its swords had a decent shi+ne to the their greatest advantage against them, had manifested in front of them

“That!? What is the world in that thing!? How can a monster use the same weapons as a human!?”

The adjutant’s frantic shout returned the commander to his senses

“Don’t be discouraged!! Now is not the ti about that!! Everyone battle positions! Form the rhombus formation!! Deploy the shi+eld corps immediately!!”

The confused soldiers i into action at the commander’s orders

Taking hold of the ons, the soldiers organized a defensive wall against the deformed monster

“Spear wielders prepare your lances in-between the shi+eld bearers! Prepare for impact!! Archers restrict the monster’s movements!!”

“Archers, fire!!”

When the adjutant signaled for the volley, several people behind the shi+eld bearer loosed their arrows in a high arc

None of the arrows hit the chargingon both sides of the monster instead

The archers continued firing arrows one after another, leading the monster down one path
