Chapter 151: Old lake defense battle
Chapter 151: Old lake defense battle
In the evening, Ruin-san and I greeted the capture group. We were accompanied by Ion.
First, the leader of the heavy warrior party greets us.
"It's the first time I've seen him there. I'm Mangetsu, leader of the clan Moon Shield. The members of the clan are Mikazuki, Ariake, Kagen, Izayoi and Shingetsu. They all go by the name of the moon. Nice to meet you"
"Hello. I'm solo, but I'm Takuto, the leader of the clan Liebling. This girl is my summoned beast, Ion a Dragonewt"
"Haha. Thank you for your kindness. I know who you are. You're the rumored young girl summoner"
I'd like to say that Lily has evolved, so don't give me that nickname!
"We're next, aren't we? I'm Yoichi, leader of the archer's clan Lesson of the three arrows. The members are Rokkaku, Masanari, Ogasawara, Tachibana and Hanabusa. I look forward to working with you"
"It's a great group"
All of them are famous.
"You can recognize the names of the bow masters...well, we can't quite match them, but I think we'll be a decent force"
"Well, just think of them as Yoichi-san and his happy comrades"
"Hey!"
"In the first place, if it's a clan name, shouldn't it be Mri?"
Oh, that's what I thought, too.
"If you call yourselves Mri, you'll call yourselves Uncle Kogoro"
Tsk
I thought he just liked Nasu no Yoichi normally, but there are many circumstances.
In addition, five other parties with different professions that have not yet been given a clan name have joined the group. Since there are no Hokage and Arleigh among them, a total of 53 people from 9 parties have actually arrived on this side.
"I'm sorry to bother you so soon, but can we restore our durability and ask for food?"
"Yeah. I'll take care of it"
"The food is being prepared over there. Let's talk while eating"
According to the story, the Moon Shield and the Lesson of the Three Arrows were the clans that were very active in the defense of the base area at night.
Without them, the base area would have fallen earlier. Since they were defending the base area, they naturally had contact with Ruin-san and her group and Ruin-san decided that she could trust them.
I guess I should be thankful I was on the same server as them. It was thanks to them that I was able to sleep at night.
"How'd it go over there?"
"They blamed us for not being able to defend ourselves"
"Weapons are tattered, there is no food and history will prove that it cannot be protected"
History has proven that this is fatal in a war of attrition.
And I disclosed to them the information about the mural and the slate.
"You've even got such a hint...this is a complete defeat"
"We found those ruins too, but...it was impossible to use a bow against the undead"
Ah...that's definitely a dead end. At the very least, a bow and arrow with sacred attributes will be required.
And when I told them about my current plan, they were happy to participate.
"Unlike the other side, the strategy is solid"
"I can't say I won't participate, because I have to make up for the points I've lost so far"
I was curious to know what kind of crazy plan they had in mind. I'm sure it's a bad strategy to use as a reference.
I logged out for dinner. I ate a good dinner, took a bath and logged into the game.
"Takuto-kun and the others are here. As Takuto-kun and Tristan had predicted, Hokage has informed us that a large army of monsters is heading for our base. We're going to intercept them"
"Do you have a specific plan?"
Yoichi-san asks.
"Of course. Takuto-kun, could you please explain?"
"Yes. The plan is simple. Draw the monsters to the very edge of the base area, inflict fatal wounds on them with large-scale techniques and then surround and annihilate them all together"
"What is this large-scale technique?"
It's a hidden gem, but I'll have to tell them.
"We will use the dragon wave, which can be used with Ion's trump card, the pseudo dragon skill. It's not powerful enough to annihilate a large number of enemies, but it can inflict fatal wounds on a large number of them"
"You can use that kind of technique...did you go with the extremely rare Dragonewt?"
As Yoichi-san says, it is a foul technique. So, I passed the baton to Ruin-san.
"Is it okay to ask the Moon Shield to attract monsters?"
"Leave it to us"
"The magicians and archers will wait at this spot where the monsters are streaming in. When the enemy arrives, we'll destroy them with a wave of magic and archery"
Understood
"There will probably be survivors. After that, we'll shift to a normal defensive battle. we'll draw the monsters back in, stall them and finish them off with a pincer attack"
Everyone agreed to participate in my plan to get a lot of points.
"You always come up with the most outrageous strategies, don't you? Takuto"
"I feel sorry for the monsters"
Risa and Mirai talk as Rekka and Keigo spoke.
"Do you have a problem with Nii-chan's plan?"
"Then why don't you two just run into a horde of monsters?"
""Ah, no. Sorry""
You're not very good with girls. Me too...
"Excuse me, degozaru. The enemy will be here soon, degozaru"
Hokage reports to us.
"Thank you. Everyone take your positions! This is a prelude to the final boss battle! We'll earn a lot of points here!"
Oo~!
Thus began the large-scale defense battle of the old lake.
The enemy was the Boar Leader and the other event monsters that had attacked us in defense. My members are Ion, Koihi, Liqueur, Darley and Luna.
Liqueur and Darley are being used by Tristan-san and Yoichi-san. I can only assume that they are being targeted.
A laser of light magic is released from the forest. This is the signal for the operation.
"Luna, please"
Luna dances and buffs are activated for everyone.
"A buff for everyone just by dancing...that's amazing"
"If she stops dancing, you lose the effect, so she can't participate in the battle"
"Then let's do our best for her"
Mangetsu and his friends come forward and give instructions.
"All members activate their provocation skill!"
Ou!
Mangetsus party hold their large shields all at once and activate their provocation skill. And then the monsters that had spread out froze in their tracks. It's on schedule.
"Ion, please"
"Yes! I'll activate the pseudo-dragonification!"
Ion is enveloped in a pillar of blue light and becomes a pseudo-dragon.
"Oh..."
"This is..."
"Beautiful..."
"Go, Goddess..."
It's a great impression...but I'm the same person who understands their feelings.
Ion thrusts both of her glass swords into the ground.
"Dragon Technique! Dragon Wave!"
A larger than usual amount of water washes over the monsters in a wave, swallowing them up. The bigger monsters persisted, but the ones in front of me were hit by the dragon wave.
Their feet left the ground and they were swept away. And when the front ones were swept away, they hit the ones behind them and the ones behind them were swept away too.
I was afraid they'd get trampled, but it looks like Luna's buffs worked. And Ion's pseudo-dragonification is lifted.
The destination of the swept away monster is hell.
"All members, prepare!"
Archers hold their bow under the command of Yoichi-san.
"Arrow Rain! Unleash it!"
Arrow Rain!
They use a martial art I don't know. A single arrow becomes countless arrows in the air, raining down on the monsters. It's not over yet.
"Spell chant complete. Here we go. Everyone"
Oh! This is our full power!
A full burst of male mages led by Rekka poured down. That shout is a mystery.
"Second wave, let's go!"
"Why don't we shout something too? Sister Ruin"
"There's no need! Just shoot!"
Magic is released from Ruin-san and the others who can use magic among the producers. I feel like there was some kind of struggle, but I hope it's okay.
However, there are still many survivors among the monsters.
"Let's go! You guys!"
"Now! Everyone charge!"
The beastmaster squad led by Retsuku-san and the summoner squad led by Rook attacked from the flanks. The reason why Retsuku-san is conducting is the recommendation from Raiden-san. Certainly, Retsuku-san seems to be suitable for this kind of thing.
The summoned beasts and tame monsters will be in a fierce battle, but the monsters are aiming for this.
The survivors are charging at us.
"All members, stance"
Behind us, Tristan and the archers who can't use Arrow Rain yet are readying themselves.
Me and Koihis magic are ready.
"Bottomless Swamp!"
"Torrid Hell!"
It's a combo of bog and scorching hell. I was supposed to burn the boar leader to death when he fell into the swamp, but he swam just fine. The boar can swim and so can we...but at a slower rate.
"Trident Arrow, fire!"
Trident Arrow!
The arrows pierced the swimming boar. I'm sorry for the inconvenience.
"I just got word that the enemy behind us has been wiped out. They're heading for a pincer attack"
"I understand. Are you sure you're okay leaving the defense to you?"
After receiving the report from Mel, I confirmed with Mangetsu-san.
"Leave it to us. You guys stick to the plan"
"Please leave it to me"
"Please do. All members, ready!"
Ou!
Mangetsu-san and the others raise their shields.
"Let's go! Charge!"
Shield Tackle!!
While holding their shields, Mangetsu-sans group ram into the bore leader. Then the bore leader was blown away.
It's a good idea...they are the ones who have been protecting the base area until now. In response to the Boar Leader's rush, they flipped the Boar Leader from the bottom to the top and successfully flipped him off. Above all, the party members were in perfect coordination.
"Now!"
"Everyone, let's go! Gale thrust!"
Mel and the others with one-handed swords rushed at the Boar Leader and succeeded in extending the hard time.
The jobs that are good at close combat swarm to it.
Yoichi-san rides Darley and is the first to join us. He and Tristan go around the monster and shoot arrows at it. Liqueur and Darley and they are in perfect harmony...it makes me sad.
The other players join in and the pincer attack on the monsters is complete.
I take my place as the healer, supporting everyone, but I realize how great Mirai is. In the end, I had no choice but to follow Mirai's instructions.
It seems that six people is the limit of what I can support.
"Raise the battle cry!"
"We've won!"
Oo~!
At the end of the day, I was pathetic, but we had won a great victory. Then the level up comes and the info flows.
The level of light magic has reached 30. Light magic Refresh and Flash bang
The level of light magic has reached 30. Sacred magic is now available
Okay! I want to get it right away, but it looks like there's something I need to do first.
Ions level has reached 30. The special event Trial of the Sea Dragon has occurred
A blue glow emanated from Ion and enveloped me.

Author note:
The reason there are 53 people in total in 9 parties is because there are only 5 people in Hokages party.
