182 Lesson 52: Whats its name? (2/2)
The soldier said in a sharp voice.
”North!
”... no, the south isn't ringing either, is this?
Clear your ears by frowning at each other's words. Then, indeed, the alarm was heard from the south as well.
The soldier pounds his tongue a little.
”From the north, from the south. It's bad, it usually comes from the west at times like this.”
The less those ominous words went away, the more real they became.
Lighted by the moonlight, the sand smoke pushes from the western direction. It is more obvious than seeing fire that it is a herd of demons, and soldiers are forced to tongue again.
”I knew it! Hey, ring the bell!
The soldier who gave the order to the other side, he stepped himself out of the watchtower and shouted to his colleagues downstairs, ”I'm also from the west!,” he called.
Again, it is not uncommon for Alweto Oasis to be attacked by demons. But the tripartite simultaneity just didn't. Now if it also appears from the east, this oasis will have been completely besieged. That way, we can't even withdraw to Leelo Oasis.
”You don't mean Warcraft Run (Stampede)...?
Mass outbreaks of desert demons. Sometimes it swallows all the oases dotted in the Catalan desert and even reaches the walls of Berca.
I'd like to think it wasn't exactly a raid of that magnitude - but when the soldiers were thinking about it, the area accidentally quieted down. They stopped sounding alarms.
The soldier glanced at his opponent somewhat bewildered and said away in a strong tone.
”Hey, don't stop the alarm! Stop here and they'll mistake the western raid for a false alarm!
”.................. ah”
”Hey, not if you're bluffing! Hold on!”
The soldier's voice was now utterly angry. But they still don't move. He opens his eyes all the time, staring sharply in the western direction.
The soldier, who just realized it was strange, looked in the direction they were looking at in advance.
In sight are a bunch of demons close enough to be confirmed even by the naked eye and a moonlighted desert at night. And the 'Sand Wall' you see on the other side - thinking that far, the soldier was attacked by strong discomfort. I glance at the lookout barrel in a hurry.
Earlier, the Sand Wall, which we decided would soon subside, is about to recur?
No, you're not. That's a 'sand wall' - not a sandstorm or anything. What looked like a sandstorm was countless demons. A large group of unknown demons are folding, hissing and foolish as if they were one creature...
No, no, not that either.
There are countless demons. I'm sure he is. But there are more giant demons than that.
Big. Big enough to lose words. So far away and that giant. In the near future, how big is it?
On that one, he gets kicked with his toes, such as Alweto Oasis. Leelo Oasis is trampled with one foot. Even the city of Berca won't be able to surround that giant.
What the soldier thought was a 'wall of sand' was a giant beast covering the horizon and the appearance of countless demons so awesome as to protect that giant beast.
”hey what... what the heck, that...”
The sound of a frightened soldier echoes over the watchtower.
If, at this time, the soldiers had continued to observe a little more calmly, they would have noticed that some of the demons forming the herd were poking their fangs at the giant beast. The giant beasts are walking in the desert, eaten by demons.
If we could have noticed that fact, we might have been able to find out who the giant beast is from the legend of the desert.
... even if I realized who I was, the consequences of attacking Alweto Oasis would not have changed.
It's the reason of the world that bears the name of fantasy.
