Meanwhile, Charlotte and the others finally located the Nature's Cover.
At this moment, their few allies who were left behind to protect the Nature's Cover were being pushed to a corner by a group of Undead Berserkers. Assisting them were a few soldiers who knew the importance of the Nature's Cover. If it falls, then they are all doomed!
None of them were giving up, as they kept on fighting relentlessly and bravely. Every time one of them falls, another one will quickly stand up and patch up the missing spot.
And evidently, they have already found the weakness of the newly turned Undead Berserkers, since they unhesitatingly killed those comrades who were killed by the Undead Berserkers.
”We can't hold on for long...”
”If this continues on, the Nature's Cover will fall and the barrier protecting us will disappear,”
”I really hope that one of our allies had remembered us and sent a reinforcement here!”
”Don't worry, we did!” Charlotte responded, making everyone turned their heads to looked at the five figures flying up in the air.
”Everyone, our reinforcement has finally come!” One of the allies can't help but exclaim loudly.
”We can finally be saved!” Added by another ally.
”Hooray!” The soldiers celebrated.
In spite of their delighted mood, they still didn't stop fighting against the Undead Berserkers. After all, not because they stopped fighting, the Undead Berserkers would also do the same thing.
Following after, Charlotte and the others swiftly flew towards the Undead Berserkers. In the next moment, numerous Magic spells rained towards the Undead Berserkers, causing them to fly away or die.
”It's them!” The Captain, who Charlotte and the others had met before, cheered loudly after recognizing Charlotte and the others. Although they were covering their faces with black mantles, he could still easily recognize them now that they are closed to him. In addition to that, he had also received a golden token with a symbol of the Mischievous Lion Guild from one of them personally, so it is impossible for him to not recognize them.
”Oh, it's you!” Ethan quickly recognized the Captain.
”What are you doing here?” Elaine asked in curiosity.
”I think I forgot to introduce myself. I am Eno, the Captain of the 21st squad. I have decided to leave my men and quickly came here after these strange things have appeared,” The Captain replied. He knows clearly well the importance of the Nature's Cover, specifically even more important than his men. So, he set his priorities straight and protected this place with his life.
”21st squad, hmmm... If I remember correctly, all squads that have the number one on them are the leaders of a company. 1st, 11th, 21st, 31st, 41st, and so on and so forth,” Edward explained.
”Eh, no wonder he is a Captain,” Ethan finally realized why this person has a rank of a Captain.
In the army arrangement of the Emerald Tree Kingdom, every squad has 10 to 15 people and is led by a Sergeant. Five squads form a platoon and are led by a Lieutenant. Lastly, two platoons form a company and are led by a Captain.
”Actually, my real rank is just a reserve Captain. But since the actual Captain of our company died and turned into an Undead Berserker, which I later on killed, hence I automatically became the Captain of the company. And as the Captain of the company, my main job is to not let the north wall get destroyed, and the only way to do that is to protect the Nature's Cover,” Captain Eno explained.
”Enough talking!” Charlotte stared daggers at Ethan, Elaine, Edward, and Captain Eno. A group of Undead Berserkers is currently in front of them right now, yet they still have the time to talk with each other. It would have been fine if they were talking about something important, but the topic of their conversation was clearly useless in their situation.
”Yes, ma'am!” Ethan and the others replied in unison before quickly charging towards the Undead Berserkers, of course, excluding Captain Eno as he was merely a 4-Star Mage. If he really charges along with them, it wouldn't take long for him to become an Undead Berserker.
With the assistance of Charlotte and the others, the fight to secure and protect the Nature's Cover soon ended.
The surrounding 50 meters perimeter around the Nature's Cover soon has plenty of soldiers stationed. And farther ahead, the fight against the Undead Berserkers continued to rage on with no signs of ending yet.
Once they completed that, Charlotte immediately gathered Ethan, Elaine, Edward, and Chief Lago together to discuss their next plan.
”Edward and Chief Lago! The both of you would stay here to make sure that the Nature's Cover is secured. Make sure that it doesn't leave its spot, otherwise, we will fail the trust that Leo has put unto all of us,” Charlotte deliberately pulled Leo's name into the fray in order to make Edward and Chief Lago treat this mission seriously. Only by mentioning their Guild Leader's name could she make the both of them do their very best.
