Chapter 214: DUAL WAAAAAAVE SLASH!!
The group that departed from Sentrea toward the frontlines of the Stampede comprised the Scarlet Devil Squad, Absolute Helix, Labyrinth Conquerors, and a portion of the marching band, totaling around a hundred members. Among them were also non-combatants such as cooks and handlers for miscellaneous tasks, most of which were provided by the Labyrinth Conquerors.
The Labyrinth Conquerors, being well-versed in Dungeon expeditions, ensured that all of them even the cooks were capable fighters. One among them, the man currently taking care of the horses, spoke with Ollie, who was beside him.
So you used to be a servant for House Babenberg?
Yes, I was.
That makes you even more surprising. How are you so knowledgeable about processing horse manure?
It is only a part of the teachings passed down through generations in House Babenberg.
The man calmly observed Ollies effectiveness at work and cracked a dry smile. Ollies knowledge extended not only to horse care but also to the proper processing of horse dung for use as fertilizer.
Generally, members of Clans in Dungeon City did not embark on expeditions, so most of their servants were limited to routine work. When Ollie offered to assist the handlers, she was initially rejected, but then she proceeded to take on the dirty work that nobody else wanted. Gradually, she advanced through stages, and now she was responsible for horse care.
Nevertheless, Ollies behavior remained within the realm of a servant, focusing on the work she could do.
She would not be able to handle combat like the Labyrinth Conquerors workers, but her natural stamina enabled her to endure the marches without issue. Moreover, she efficiently handled dirty tasks whenever they arose and, due to her prowess, executed various administrative duties with ease. Where she lacked in combat prowesses, she made up for by handling various miscellaneous tasks with the speed and accuracy of a well-maintained machine.
Ill take care of the dirty work, Ollie proceeded to say with a bright smile, a stark contrast to the harsh conditions at the unprecedented forefront of the Stampede.
You know, Ill tell our boss that itd be a waste to leave you here. We can get you something better to do, the man said while stroking a horses face.
While Ollie established her position by taking the initiative in handling unclaimed dirty work, the frontline group continued their journey southward, receiving information from Leon along the way. Finally, they reached a position where the waves of the Stampede were visible.
Under the overcast sky, the size of the Stampede appeared larger than before, but there were no particularly noteworthy monsters. Small fry monsters, led by Goblins, walked in groups.
Christia, after observing the Stampede through a telescope, promptly gave instructions to the group behind her.
Marching band, start playing. Rear guard, trim as much as possible. Others, standby.N♡vεlB¡n: Your Escape into Infinite Tales.
In response to the instructions, Diniel and Leleia stepped forward. Unexpectedly, Amy, with a triumphant expression, also stepped forward, prompting a puzzled look from Tsutomu.
Wait, why are you also going, Amy?
Hehehe She did say to trim as much as possible, right?
Uh, I mean, even your wont reach that far, you know itll be a gentle breeze at most.
Indeed, the only long-ranged skill that Dualbladers learned early on, the , would lose power as the distance increased. Amy, also known as the Chaotic Dancer, particularly excelled in the handling of , but its effective range was nonetheless limited, which Tsutomu pointed out.
Lelee! Do the thing!
.
In response to Amys call, Leleias green hair fluttered as the Sylph, the Spirit with a fairy-like appearance, appeared. The Sylph proceeded to sit on Amys head, holding on to strands of her white hair as if they were controller sticks.
So Amy is compatible with the Sylph?
Yes. As much as I am, actually.
The probable cause of the Devourer Dragons appearance was the accumulation of magical energy due to the emergence of Gods Dungeon, which had resulted in the lower efficiency of monster culling in the other Dungeons. If this theory held true, there was a high likelihood that Dungeons in the southern region, long neglected, might also spawn monsters rivaling the Devourer Dragon.
Those who had experienced the previous Stampede seemed to be well aware of this, as even during this time when they could attack monsters from a safe range, there was no room for complacency. Vigilance extended in all directions, with sufficient distance maintained from the Stampede.
Christia, commanding from above using the skill, seemed adept at leading, directing the group as if it were a single living entity. Under her command, even those unfamiliar with group battles could demonstrate sufficient strength.
In this state, the sharp-eared members of Absolute Helix Garm, Amy, Diniel, and Daryl were able to efficiently detect faint abnormalities. Amidst this, Hannah sensed by instinct that something was approaching.
Is it just me, or does something feel off?
I feel it, too, Diniel said. Good girl, good girl.
W-whyre you suddenly acting like that?
Youre an idiot, Hannah, but at least youve got intuition.
Wait, youre making fun of me, arent you!?
Having thoroughly processed Diniels words in her mind, Hannah, who had come to that conclusion, instantly changed her relaxed expression. Diniel, ignoring the look Hannah was giving her, released a large arrow for long-range shots.
Both Weiss of the Scarlet Devil Squad and Christia of the Labyrinth Conquerors also seemed to be aware of the anomaly. They both looked up at the overcast sky.
.
Shifting their gaze to the arrow Diniel had released before, they saw that it had pierced something. Diniel, observing bat-like wings in her field of view, proceeded to warn the group of the arrival of Wyverns, swooping down from the sky.
All personnel, prepare for retreat. Rear guard, replenish your mental strength with Potions, and be ready for the Wyverns descending from above.
Christias instructions came promptly from the sky, and Tsutomu immediately dismounted from his horse, retrieving some vials of Blue Potion from his Magic Bag. He then passed them to Diniel, Leleia, and Amy.
Are Wyverns supposed to fly through clouds?
They dont like doing that, no.
Airborne monsters generally avoided entering clouds since it obstructed their view of the surroundings. In the case that they did enter, it was likely only in emergency situations where obscured visibility would not matter as much.
But it didnt look like the Wyverns were being chased by anything. And even though it should be hard to see in the clouds, they were probably calm, too If they WERE being pursued, they would have been much noisier.
Diniel, having sipped from the Blue Potion vial that Amy handed to her, looked slightly refreshed. This particular vial was brewed by Elf elder Forest Apothecary, so it went down smoothly.
I have a bad feeling about this.
Same, Diniel said as she mounted her horse, then she repeatedly shot arrows into the clouds.
Those who had already completed their preparations followed suit, unleashing skills into the sky.
By the time the frontline group withdrew and set up a line for interception, monsters emerged from the thick clouds.
What in the! Christia, the one closest to them, exclaimed, her amplified voice echoing through the area.
The monsters that leaped from the clouds were indeed Wyverns, as per Diniels information.
However, atop the Wyverns were green-skinned Orcs. Carrying a shield in their left hand and a spear in their right, the Orc-mounted Wyverns directly rushed towards Christia.
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
