Chapter 245 – 245.Siege (1)
After hearing the soldier’s report, we headed straight toward the eastern wall where monsters were said to be approaching.
Doo doo doo doo doo!
As I got closer to the eastern wall, I felt a heavy sound and a slight vibration.
I climbed up the wall and looked outside the wall.
“There are so many golem-type monsters…”
Golem-type monsters were rushing towards Tonk Machina, creating a cloud of dust.
There were many types of golem-type monsters, and among them, those that could run fast were creating dust clouds, and other monsters were following behind.
“Well, it’s finally starting.”
Gulping and swallowing, Pamela tightened her grip on her wand.
“Yes, it’s going to be a long fight. But first… I need to clean up to boost morale. Everyone, please leave for a moment. I’ll use self-immolation.”
The member next to me briefly distanced himself from my request.
I immediately used the manipulation alter ego.
Of course, making three alter egos.
It is important to give people the impression that you are there from the beginning.
Because in everything, the first button has to be clicked well.
Control your clone and stretch your arms forward.
“”A great song.””
He fired four thunderous cries at the monsters that were rushing towards Tunk Machina.
Kwahiah ahhhhh!
With a strong roar, four spears hit the floor, creating a shock wave.
“Aaaaah!”
“W-what!?”
The voice of a person startled by a sudden roar and the voice of a person startled.
“That’s… !”
And at the sudden intrusion, a person who was looking outside the wall could be heard in shock.
Next.
“Awesome… It’s great, Manager Lee Si-han.”
“Ha, as expected, Lee Sihan’s skills are incredible.”
“Ohhohoho! That’s a proper takedown!”
“Ugh! I gave in at first, but I’ll be more active than you!”
Although each reaction was slightly different, the members’ voices filled with confidence and security reached my ears.
The front of the eastern wall was mostly flat land.
And on that flat land, there were now four large craters, and most of the craters were filled with the corpses of golem-type monsters that had been destroyed by direct hits and shock waves.
Perhaps because four were fired at the same time, the shock wave was larger than usual, so the golem-type monsters that were quite behind were almost completely destroyed by the shock wave.
“First of all, I think we can buy time for others to prepare.”
What the soldier told us earlier was also the first thing he said in a hurry.
In other words, in addition to the soldiers who have come to us now, other soldiers will be delivering news to the adventurers currently in Tunktree and personnel from other countries who have come to support us.
And the reinforcements who received the news are probably coming this way now.
Looking at the situation, the monsters that come running first are annihilated.
Most of the monsters behind it were also destroyed.
Of course, this is not the end, but at least it will take about 10 minutes for the reappeared golem-type monster to reach the eastern wall.
That is enough for the fast-moving reinforcements to prepare.
So for now.
“Argen.”
“Yes, Manager Sihan Lee.”
“We must inform people of the current situation. Just in case, residents must be evacuated and the news must be delivered to each country that has promised support.”
“I understand. Everyone! Please listen!”
Arjen immediately issued an evacuation advisory to the residents under the walls.
People immediately recognized the appearance of the princess, who could be said to be the most famous person in Tonk Machina, and began to take refuge following Arjen’s words.
And after 5 minutes.
“Master May! Master Mai!”
“We are here!”
“Welcome~!”
“Let’s work hard together~!”
After talking to Luong May and Luong Mai, the members of the Flame Dragon Society who had been staying in Tonk Machina for a few days arrived.
In addition, there were several soldiers and adventurers who came to support from each country, as well as cadets who I had seen in passing at the academy.
“Everyone! Thank you for coming! The situation you predicted is coming! Please protect Tonk Machina!”
The reinforcements who came to Arjen’s request showed their will by shouting loudly.
Then, full-scale preparations began, and an hour later, the real siege began.
We saw it in the main story, but in the Tonk Machina siege event, monsters don’t just come from one side.
When you get to the middle, monsters will eventually surround the area, but that’s only because the overflowing monsters go to the other wall.
The directions from which monsters flock in large numbers are east and north.
And fortunately, my knowledge seems to apply here as well. For 30 minutes, monsters came from the eastern wall, but after that, a large number of golem-type monsters started coming from the north as well.
After hearing the news, as a test, he controlled the clone to move towards another castle wall, but the clone disappeared at a distance of approximately 200 meters.
We obtained new information that the maximum escape distance of the manipulated clones was about 200 meters, and at the same time, we learned that there was no possibility of using the clones to conduct a siege on the castle walls in each direction.
In the end, I decided that if I felt like I was going to be pushed back, I would move quickly and help.
Of course, the people who came to my aid to the extent that they needed my help right away were not pushed aside by the golem-type monster.
Puff puff puff!
Suddenly!
Kaang!
As the siege began in earnest, a scene so intense that it could literally be called a battlefield unfolded near the castle walls.
Numerous soldiers and adventurers stand in front and battle against golem-type monsters.
Various skills are used, countless long-distance attacks fly through the air, and those who fight directly with weapons deal with monsters without exceeding a certain interval.
In the first place, the golem-type monsters were not that strong, so we were able to deal with them sufficiently.
Of course, the biggest problem is that the number is enormous.
No matter how skilled you are, there is a limit to your physical strength.
Therefore, the gathered people do not rush in at once, but are organized into 1 unit and 2 units respectively and respond in a replacement format.
“It’s time! Get back!”
“Ha! Ha! It really is endless!”
“Just one more hit! Aryaaaaa!”
Perhaps because the golem-type monsters are not that strong, no one has been seriously injured yet.
However, we cannot hope for a situation where we are always safe in such large-scale battles.
It’s okay right now because it’s still early days, but as time passes, there will be people who get hurt.
In order to prevent such a thing, in cases like this, the Shu family’s protection department is the best way to ensure safety, as in the case of Luong.
“Yeonhwa, how long do you think it will take for the Shu family members to come?”
“It won’t take that long. We’ll be there in 30 minutes, right?”
“It’s slow, Shu Yeon-hwa. Most of our cadets from Bitters have already arrived and are waiting now.”
Tiona, who had not yet come forward, smiled and spoke to Yeonhwa.
“It looks like it will take a long time this time, so our family has a lot to prepare for. However, I will play a role in ensuring your safety even more.”
“The protection part is solid! It’s great!”
“Ohhohohoho! You say the right thing, Myka!”
Adelia, who was watching the situation below from the side, said.
“Sihan, I think it’s finally our turn to leave.”
“Sihan, please be more active and raise people’s morale.”
Adeline seems to have a lot of expectations from me with a smile.
Sreung!
I pulled out the sword from my waist.
“They’re changing shifts right now, Lia! Let’s take the lead!”
“I understand, Sister Adeline.”
Adelia and Adeline jumped down the barrier at the same time and participated in the battle.
“Me too! I want to go too! Pamela! Let’s go together!”
“Huh?! Uh, uh, I go down using the stairs…”
“Let’s go!”
“Aaaaah~!”
“Hey, let’s go together!”
Myka grabbed Pamela’s arm and jumped down the barrier, followed by Tiona.
“Why don’t we just let you guys act first? Arjen! Please watch my performance!”
“I’m looking forward to it.”
“Heh, as a noble of Tonk Tree, I will show you a performance worthy of me in front of Arzen! Haaaaa!”
With enthusiasm, Atsubal also jumped down.
“I wonder why everyone isn’t wearing protective gear. I guess I should go and wear it. Let’s go, Kyeong-hoo!”
“Yes! Lady Yeonhwa!”
“May~ Since the Flame Dragon Club members are doing their best~ Shall we go soon?”
“Yes, my, as the manager, I have to set an example for the members of the Flame Dragon Society.”
“”Let’s go!””
Members from Luong then jumped.
The only remaining Fortis group members were me and Lucas.
“Arjen, I want you to stay here and monitor the situation and take command. It will be easier for you, the princess, to attract people’s attention than me.”
“I would like to participate in the battle myself, but… I understand. For now, we must each take on the role that suits us best.”
“I’ll leave it to you. Lucas, let’s go.”
“Yes! Mr. Shihan! But… I’m worried whether I’ll be safe if I jump out of here by myself.”
“Don’t worry about that.”
I immediately lifted Lucas onto my shoulder.
“Sihan, Mr. Sihan!?”
“Hold on a moment.”
“Yes, yes!”
I also jumped down the barrier, carrying Lucas with me.
