“Of course, they may fall far short of your standards…but the sixth recruits were still heroes They had resolved to risk their lives saving worlds a long tiazes on hi at Chi-Woo Since they had been without shelter for almost teeks, everyone looked as terrible as they s able to eat and sleep well However, the spirit in their eyes wasn’t gone, and it grew stronger as the battle neared As if they had experienced this kind of danger several tihtly Chi-Woo suddenly recalled what had happened in the Celestial Realm
[Now, those ish to enter despite all the risks, please e]
[…We won’t stop you frouel explained the situation and gave them all a choice, all the heroes had walked towards the portal at the sao Like the seventh recruits, the sixth recruits must have made the same choice, because they were all heroes
“It’s all-right even if it’s just a little bit” Allen Leonard looked fervently at Chi-Woo and spoke in a voice thick with emotions “Even if it’s just a little…please…trust us”
Chi-Woo’s eyes widened, reed o He didn’t knohy, but his muddled head felt clearer They had come to Liber to save it, and to save it, they needed to survive first And to survive, they needed to fight—fight not to the death, but for a chance to live Expression blank, Chi-Woo took his hands out of his pockets, no longer holding the die
It was surprising Chi-Woo was si to send hi a decision because of the man’s words
‘…Let’s trust them’ Chi-Woo shook his head ‘Let’s trust them’
“I understand,” he finally said with renewed determination on his face “I’ll try to trust you and the others”
“…Thank you” Allen Leonard read Chi-Woo’s expression and s team returned and said that they had verified the enemies’ location It was now time to carry out their plan Chi-Woo joined the recruits and startedquickly In his heart, he resolved to never roll the die until the battle concluded
It was late at night They couldn’t even spot a mouse on this quiet hill It was silent save for the occasional wind rustling the grass A total of 180 people were going to participate in this battle, including the entirety of those ere injured Around 135 of the with 45 of the towards a different location
Those ere left continued toto a halt Chi-Woo pressed his body close to the hill and crouched as low as he could lances around, he spotted a couple of cursed ones wandering around the hills on top of him
While everyone held their breaths, Allen Leonard, who stood in the front, held up a hand to gesture at people Then he started a countdoith his fingers Three, two… When he was about to fold in his thu Four or five shadows approached the cursed ones’ backs withoutany sound and twisted their necks at the same tiround before rejoining the troops
“The scouting teaood,” Allen Leonard said quietly “You should roup The scouting teaathered in one area, with the hout In other words, they were approaching the ene 45 people quietly and carefully moved forward They reached their destination without a hitch
“Are we starting right away?”
“No Not yet We have to wait until the 4th unit takes their place” Allen Leonard stayed close to the hill and gulped Their eneht in front of them The ordinary cursed ones were the closest, and the huddled group ofdoith their heads lowered
“It would be great if they were all sleeping” Someone spoke in an anxious voice, but another person silenced them with a ‘Hush’ None of them knehy their enemies had positioned themselves like this, but an opportunity had presented itself Their attacks would be ether They had the eley When a prey who had only been running away suddenly turned back and attacked their opponent, the hunter would be startled
Of course, if they attacked like this, the huntera full coursetheir enemies, they needed a secret weapon that would catch their eneive their enemies a real taste of pain that way
[My ancestors weren’t physically strong]
[However, God let our ancestors use a powerful weapon for their survival]
[Many of your ancestors here probably also used the same weapon]
Fire That hat the weapon was Allen Leonard rubbed the grass on the hill and nodded Rain had fallen a few days ago, but since this region received low rainfall, the grass was dry and twisted froreat fuel for their fire
Then an alert from his device told Allen Leonard that the tiroups had surrounded the enee that the 4th unit was ready Allen Leonard sent a reply before re on his hand to reveal a torch He took out a clurass that Eshnunna and the natives had prepared and lit it on fire Then he lit the clurass that the hero next to him took out, and that hero passed the fire to the next hero It wasn’t long before the hill was cast in the warer turn back now
“Ask and it will be given Search and it will be found” After e, Allen Leonard threw the bundle of burning grass down the hill Everyone followed suit at the sama bubbled, fire burst into life everywhere and spread quickly, reater whole Then—

The ti it and pushi+ng it to spread further They quickly reached the center like a sailboat riding in fair wind
Craccccckle!
The fire grew to such a scale that it looked like a forest fire and mercilessly devoured the ene that they couldn’t even see the enemies anymore Many clenched their fists as they looked on, but it was not over yet There was no way this alone would end the battle They never expected the fire to burn all their enemies; they just wanted to cause confusion and harm their enemies a little Honestly, they didn’t kno effective this plan would be, but they needed to do everything they could
“…Knock and it rave, Allen Leonard was about to say sohhh!
A screah the air It seerow so fast, as the disturbance was growing exponentially Sonal everyone to stop ‘It’s too early’, he thought as he tightened his grip around his sword Soon after, ordinary cursed ones began ju out from everywhere with their bodies on fire Even then, Allen Leonard did not move He kept a close eye to the front as the flahh!

Allen Leonard narrowed his eyes at the singleits body

Following Allen’s lead, the heroes charged down the hills to attack their enemies in unison
