160 # 151 Old Lake Defense Battle.txt (1/2)

In the evening, I greeted the attackers with Lewin-san. My companion is Ion.

The leader of the heavy warrior party greets me first.

'This is your first time with him. I'm Mangetsu, the leader of the clan ”Shield of the Moon”. These are the members Mikazuki, Ariake, Kagen, Izayoi, and New Moon. They all take the names of the moon. Please take care of them.

'Hi. I'm solo, but I'm Tact, the leader of the clan 'Leaping'. This is my summoner, Aeon from Dragon Newt.

Ha, ha. Thank you kindly. I know who you are. You're a little girl, the infamous Summoner.

I say no to that nickname because Lily has evolved!

We're next. I'm Yoichi, the leader of the archer's clan, 'The Message of the Three Arrows'. The members are Rokkaku, Masanari, Ogasawara, Tachibana and Hanabusa. I'm Tachibana and Hanabusa.

It's a great crew.

They're all celebrities.

''Do you recognize the names of the archers... well, they can't quite make it, but I think they're a good asset.

Well, think of it as Yoichi-san and his merry band.

Hey!

In the first place, wouldn't a clan name normally be Mouri?

Oh, that's what I thought, too.

'If you call me by my name, you guys will call me Kogoro's old man!

”Tsk.

I thought I just normally like Nasu Yoichi (Nasuno Yoichi), but there's a lot of reasons for that.

Five other parties with different professions that haven't yet been given clan names have joined us. There were no fire shadows and Arleighs among them, so that means a total of 9 parties and 53 people were actually on our side.

''I'm sorry to be so quick, but can we ask you to restore our endurance value and food?''

'Oh. I'm on it.

I'm cooking up a storm over there. We're running out of time, so why don't we talk over dinner?

According to the story, apparently, 'Moon Shield' and 'Three Arrows of Instruction' were the clans that had been very active in the defense of the base area at night.

If it wasn't for them, the base area would have fallen even earlier. Since they were defending the base area, they naturally had contacts with Ruin and the others, and Ruin decided that they could be trusted.

I should be thankful that I was on the same server as them. I could sleep at night because of them.

What was going on out there?

He blames us for not defending him.

'Our weapons are in tatters, we have no food. I'm sure history has proven that you can't protect them with that.

Surely history proves that's deadly in a war of defense.

And I revealed to them the information about the example mural and the tablet.

'You even got a hint of that... this is a complete defeat.

'We found those ruins as well... but it was too much for the undead to handle with a bow.

Ah... that's definitely a jam. At the very least, a sacred attribute bow and arrow would be essential.

And when I told them the currently decided strategy, they happily announced their participation.

''Unlike the other side, we have a solid strategy in place.

'I can't say I won't participate. I have to make up for all the points I've lost so far.

I wanted to know what kind of crazy plan they had in mind for me. I'm sure it's a bad plan if I refer to it.

I log out for dinner. I eat my dinner well, take a bath and log into the game.

''Tact-kun and the others are all here. We've learned from the firelight that a large army of monsters is heading to this base, just as Tact-kun and Tristan predicted. We're going to intercept this one.

You have a specific plan in mind?

Yoichi asks.

'Of course. Takuto-kun, could you please explain?

Yes, sir. The strategy is simple. Draw the monsters to the very edge of the base area, use a large scale technique to fatally wound them, and then surround and destroy them all.

What's this big move you're talking about?

It's a hidden gem, but we'll have to talk about it.

'We use Dragon Wave, which can be used with Aeon's trump card, the Pseudo Dragonization skill. This technique uses the wave it generates to push enemies away, and while it's not powerful enough to annihilate a large number of enemies, it can inflict lethal wounds on a large number of them.

'I didn't know you could use such a move... as expected of an extremely rare Dragon Newt.

Yoichi-san is right, it's a foul grade move. So I pass the baton to Ruin-san.

'Can I ask 'Moon Shield' to be the monster attractor?

I'll take care of it.

'Those who can use magic and the archers will stay in this place where the monsters are streaming in. If the enemy comes, we will destroy them with a wave of magic and a bow and arrow attack.

Copy that.

'There will probably be a survivor. After that, we'll move on to a regular defensive battle. We'll draw the monsters back in, stall them, and end it with a pincer attack.

They all agree to participate in my plan to get a lot of points.

”You always think of the same crappy plan, don't you? Takuto...

You'll feel sorry for the monsters, won't you?

When Rekka and Kego said that, Lisa and Mirai said.

'Do you have a problem with your brother's plan?'

'Then you two can run into a horde of monsters.

”Oh, no. I'm sorry.

I have a weakness for girls. Me neither, but...

Excuse me, that I am. The enemy will be here soon, that it is.

The fire shadows report back to me.

'Thank you. Everybody in position!　It's a prelude to the final boss battle!　We're going to make a ton of points here!

”Oh!

Thus, the massive defense of the ancient lake began.

The enemies are the event monsters that have attacked us in defense so far, mainly the Boar Leader. My members are Aeon, Love Fire, Ricule, Darley, and Luna.

Liquor and Darley are being used by Tristan and Yoichi. I can only assume that they are being targeted.

A laser of light magic is emitted from the forest. This is the signal for the operation.

”Luna, please.

Luna dances and a buff is activated for everyone.

'Buffing everyone just by dancing... that's awesome.

If you stop dancing, though, you can't participate in the battle because the effect is lost.

Then I'll do my best for her.

Full Moon and the others stepped forward and gave instructions.

''All hands, activate your provocation skills!

”Oh!

All at once, Full Moon and her friends prepare their large shields and activate their provocation skills. Then the monsters that have been spreading out freeze in the face of Mr. Full Moon and the others. It's just as planned.

”Aeon, please.

'Yes!　Pseudo-dragonization, activate!

Aeon is enveloped in a pillar of blue light and pseudo-dragonization occurs.

''Oh...''

This is...

Beautiful...

Goddess...

That's a great feeling... but I know how it feels... and I'm in the same boat.

Ion thrusts both glass swords into the ground.

'Dragon technique!　Dragonwave!

A larger-than-usual amount of water turned into a wave that engulfed and swept away the monsters. The big monsters persisted, but the ones in front of me were directly hit by the dragon wave.

Their feet would leave the ground and they would be swept away by the quicksilver. And when the front one was swept away, it hit the guys behind it, and the guys behind it were swept away too.

I was afraid they'd get trampled, but it looks like Luna's buffs worked. And Aeon's pseudo-dragonization is released.

The destination of the swept monster is hell.

'All hands, take a stand!'

At Yoichi's command, the archers held their bows.

''Arrow Rain!　Let go!

”Arrow Lane!

A martial art unknown to me is used. A single arrow turns into countless arrows in the air and a rain of arrows rain down on the monsters. It's not over yet.

Spell chanting complete. Let's go. Everyone.

”Oh!　This is our all-out effort!

A full burst of male wizard troops, led by Rekka, descends. That shout is a mystery.

'Second wave, let's go!

'Do we have to shout something too?　Sister Ruin.

You don't have to!　Shoot me now!

Magic is released from Ruin and the other people who can use magic in production jobs. I feel like I've been in some kind of trouble, but is it okay?
