Vol 6 Chapter 18 (2/2)
Once the defor distance of the platoon, the adjunct issued more orders
“Now!!”
In response to the order, spears were thrust towards the monster from the shadow of the shi+eld bearers
Dullout as the deformed monster reacted like a human would and blocked the spears with its shi+elds
However, even if though its shi+elds were rather large, the monster was the size of a minotaur and therefore it was impossible for it to completely protect its spider lower half
Theof the soldiers allowed a few of the spears to pierce the spider-like lower body An unnerving hellish yell sprung from the monster’s mouths
「Ugguuuuaaaaaaaaaa!!! Insects, kill!!!!」
A shock ran through the soldiers and coonized shout
They had never seen athat came close were the devils from fairytales, and the possibility that this monster could be one terrified them
However, there wasn’t time for fear to consu with the monster’s shi+elds, and the monster descended on the shi+eld bearers
The platoon fell into chaos as the shtened shouts enveloped the area
“Regain your posture!! Use the shi+elds to hold the s!!”
The commander ordered his men to focus their attack on the exposed lower body rather than the armored human torso
While he didn’t know h in the last collision, he knew there was no in for more casualties on their side
When the shi+eld bearers tried to suppress the , pavise and all
However, the spear wielders desperately threw their whole weight into their thrusts at the spider section of the monster The soldiers were covered in black as the dissolved, charcoal-like liquid sprayed out from the monster’s wounds
The deformed monster’s poould result in multiple causalities within the platoon, but the scratches they left would beco as they kept it up
Then another of his soldiers shouted another observation
“Movement in the northwest!! There’s another one!!!”
The co battle and scanned the area northwest of their position
He caught sight of the figure
The ridge was slightly elevated over there and another creature revealed itself, releasing a roar when it located the ongoing fight
Just one of the deforh to destroy half of the platoon, it was clear what the results would be if another one were to join the fray
“shi+t!!”
The moan running down the slope with its spider legs
The joke he made with adjutant rind his teeth as the ie of his family flashed before his eyes
However, yet another soldier shouted a report
“A large cloud of dust has been spotted in the south!! Mounted soldiers of unknown origins!! More than a hundred riders!!”
“What!?”
Both the commander and his adjutant turned around when they heard that
The hundred cavalryreat pains to avoid the current battle as they ran through the plain
Given the course they were taking, they certainly weren’t reinforcements, but it was impossible to deter situation
However, the commander’s intuition told hiroup they’d been informed of
The eyewitnesses had reported a single carriage and a few guards, but group was ten times that size
The neighboring Di a cavalry of this size, but ould they appear in the middle of the Branier territory…… The mysterious monsters in front and behind him, combined with their appearance birth a bizarre answer in his mind
…… Could these dom?
They’d made deals with ancient devils…… the commander even wanted to mock himself for such a fairytale-like conclusion
…… it was simply foolish
If that had been the case, they would just annihilate the platoon with a pincer attack The rational part of the co as they were already on the verge of defeat
“Unidentified horse our location!!”
The coht when he received the final report from one of his subordinates
The coed and he audibly sucked in a breath when he saw the horse
“What is that thing……”
