The ogre roars and rushes towards Takeo.

…Two of them?… Running at the same speed behind the oncoming one…

“…Well… Hmm… Hmm?”

I feel as if I’m being held from behind… Alice activates her magic eye.

“Should I take that as support?”

Takeo chuckles.

I put the strap of the rifle from the left shoulder to the right hip, close the strap, and carry the rifle with the muzzle pointing downward.

The backpack makes it a bit awkward, but… well, it doesn’t seem to hinder his movement.

He holds the knife at his waist with his right hand.

The Ogre was about 30 meters away.

“Graaaaaaaaaa!!!!!”

With a shout, he raised the club in his right hand and attacked.

Takeo creates a “shield x 10” in his left hand to catch the club, and shifts the club to his left side to deflect the force to his left.

He was then able to turn the Ogre’s stance to the front.

Takeo raised the knife in his right hand and slashed the Ogre from his left side to his left shoulder.

As he slashed, he activated “Elec x15” and sent electricity through the wound to numb it.

The Ogre roars, “Grrrrrooo!!! “, but its left arm seems to not move.

In addition, Takeo placed his upraised hand on the Ogre’s left shoulder and slashed diagonally downward at the left side of the Ogre’s neck.

Then he stabbed the knife he had lowered to his left toward the right side of the Ogre’s neck.

As soon as the knife is inserted, he takes his left hand from underneath and strikes the base of the knife with his momentum, and then stabs the knife in.

At the same time as he stabs, he activates “Elec x15, Exxs x15” and slams the knife into the Ogre.

The Ogre turns over and dies before it can speak.

It collapses beside Takeo.

Takeo crouches down and tries to pull out the knife stuck in the Ogre, but it doesn’t come out easily, so he holds his face with his knees and pulls it out.

And then, another Ogre who was running behind the defeated Ogre was about to swing at Takeo from the side.

Takeo crouched down and stared at the ogre without taking a stance to intercept it.

As the Ogre swung, a red shadow stepped into Takeo’s side and cut the Ogre off.

“‘Well done, Master Takeo. I’ve come for you.”

It was Alice.

“I guess you manage to hold off on just one of them…”

Takeo chuckled.

And then he activated, “Five shields, one meter apart, stacked seven abreast, activated.” Stopping the goblins that were catching up.

The goblins that are being stopped are screaming at the invisible wall.

“Thank you for coming to get me,” Takeo said.

“No, no. Then let’s fall back,” Alice said.

“Yes… Once this shield is deactivated, please give them a blow.

Then I’ll put the shield on again and we fall back,” Takeo said.

“Yes.”

“3…2……….. now!”

Takeo deactivated his shield.

At the same time, Alice cleaves to the side, and eight goblins are blown away.

Then, Takeo instantly activates “Five shields, one meter apart, stacked seven abreast.” and builds a defense.

“ok, Let’s retreat,” Takeo said.

“Yes, let’s not stay long.”

The two of them started to run towards the center where the soldiers were.

The moment Alice saw the first shot for retreat.

From both left flanks, almost simultaneously, the order ‘Start shooting!’ echoed from both left flanks.

The mages began to fire the magic they had prepared.

As in the exercise, they seem to launch their weapons once above their heads and then head for the target.

Each of them fired at a faster interval than in the exercise. 

They are firing at their fastest speed.[Read this novel and other amazing translated novels from the original source at the “Novel Multiverse dot com” website @ novelmultiverse.com]

Takeo and Alice were aiming for the center of the formation without looking back.

You can hear the sound of bullets landing from behind.

Alice, who was strengthening her body, returned to the center first and turned toward the goblins.

Takeo arrives right behind her.

And then there was the chief soldier.

“Huh? Captain?”

“Well done, Kitamizato-sama.

The goblins aren’t following us, are they?”

“I deployed the shield and stopped them…

They should be out by now,” Takeo said.

“They must have been startled by the bombardment… Oh, there they are coming.”

“Lady Alice and I will move to deal with the remaining ogre.”

“Yes. We’ll take our time and take care of the goblins,” the chief commander said.

Takeo nodded.

“Miss Alice.”

“Anytime,” Alice replied.

“We will go out a bit, but not too deep.

If it’s close, lady Alice will take care of it, if it’s far, I’ll take care of it.

Basically, Miss Alice will be in charge of attack and I’ll be in charge of defense, but if I’m the attacker…”

“I will be Takeo-sama’s defense, right?”

“Yes. We’ll deal with it here until the ogre is defeated.”

“Yes.”

30 meters from the Ogre and Goblin.

“There they are…”

“Get ready, Takeo-sama.”

Takeo tucked his knife into his waistband, loosened his strap, and readied his rifle.

“All hands! Prepare for battle!”

The chief soldier gave the order, and everyone got ready.

Takeo opens fire on the ogre heading for the right flank.

————————

“Takeo-sama! Both wings!”

At Alice’s words, Takeo checked his surroundings while deploying his shield.

Both wings had begun to move.

“Miss Alice, get out at once!”

“Yes!”

“Coming through!”

“go ahead!”

Takeo and Alice walked through the soldiers who replied and out of the siege.

They ran to find the captain.

“Captain!”

“Thank you both for your hard work.”

“Any damage?”

“So far, no reports have come in.

The mage platoon has dispersed and is working on recovery on each front.

And the ogre?”

“We’ve almost finished killing them. As far as I can see, there are only a few left.”

“It’s going… well”

“Yes. But it’s times like this that we need to keep our heads…”

“I know.

There is no point in coming this far and getting injured.

I’ll inform the troops to attack with caution.”

“Please tell Harold and the second-in-command to do the same.”

“Yes, sir.”

“Well… Lady Alice. Shall we return?”

“Yes.”

“Good luck.”

Takeo and Alice returned to the front line.
