Volume 2 - CH 217

It had been two days since Houen, Reizenand the others had left.

It was also after they had all left that I found the black blob.

Many things happened anyway.

Unfortunately, I couldn’t find that blob again.

For one thing, I couldn’t go to the same place.

And since they seemed to be following the butler around, the chances of encountering the butler in that big space were very small.

Moreover, where is the prince?

Where is he?

Anyway, the fence for defense has been completed in the past two days.

The mage unit is in position.

The medical preparations are complete, and there are no problems with water, food, or supplies.

I can say that they did a good job over the past two days.

Evacuation procedures have also been completed, and people have been temporarily evacuated to a large space in the church and the central district.

It will be a little inconvenient, but I hope they can endure it until this is over.

And today, Houen and their troops are scheduled to return.

We may not have time to work together, but we are already prepared to rest as much as we can.

However, there will be little time for rest.

As proof of this, …… the atmosphere among the adventurers is tense right now.

What is the reason for this?

We can already see them.

The hordes of monsters are already in sight.

“Holy moly, ……. That’s totally different from what Tiara reported. ……. Isn’t that over than 10,000?”

“I wonder if there’s another dungeon somewhere ……. I mean, where are all these guys coming from?”

“Who cares where they’re coming from ……”

But this looks a little tough, hey …….

I’m not sure how many of them are out there, but if they rush in that many, it’s not good for us.

It’s like a tsunami.

Maria and me are watching the scene from the top of the fortress wall,……, and we’re not sure what to expect.

The other adventurers are also looking very pale.

“Ah!”

It looks like Houen and the others have returned.

I saw several carriages approaching this way.

Houen spreads his wings of flame and comes to me and Maria, perhaps to report back quickly.

“Maria Guild Master! Ouren!”

“Hey. You seem to be all right.”

“Now report back to me.”

“The total number of the enemy is about 45,000. I flew over there and checked, so I’m sure of it. But it looks like the number is still growing. ……”

“What?!”

The number is still increasing!

How is that possible? ……

“Are there any casualties?”

“No personnel casualties. But on the way back, there are people who have set traps to keep them at bay. In addition, they are all too alert to sleep. We had them take turns resting in the wagon, but they were exhausted. I’d like to give them a little rest, is that all right?”

” No problem with that. When you come back, please let them rest in a vacant place.”

“Thank you.”

Well, there’s hardly any time to retreat and get some sleep. ……

But the distance between us and the monsters is getting very wide.

I guess they are really slow.

That’s a relief at least.

So I guess this means we’ll have to do something about it ourselves at the very beginning.

Well, let’s try out a few skills as we go along, shall we?

If I do that, I’ll have to get all of them to go inside …….

“Houen, you haven’t slept, have you ……?”

“I am an immortal! That’s why I don’t need sleep!”

“How can you say that with a big dark bag under your eyes like that.”

I don’t know how immortal he is.

And from the looks of it, it looks like he needs sleep.

What a reckless thing to do.

You’re a vital part of this line of defense.

I don’t have a choice.

“Houen. Drink this.”

“Hol’up! ……? What is this?”

“Consider it an energy drink.”

“Is- is that so ……. Hey, something about energy drinks makes me think of working adults. …….”

“Hmm? You’re a corporate employee?

“No, I’m a college student.”

“Ah, okay. ……”

This is the recovery water I made.

It’s not as effective as the Great Heal, but perhaps it will help with the lack of sleep.

When Houen drank that recovery water, his body glowed green for a moment.

Then, Houen blinked and rubbed his eyes.

“MHH! The drowsiness has flown away! That’s fantastic! Ouren! Give me more of this! I’ll let other adventurers take it …….”

“I don’t want them to be dependent on me. Only my friends are allowed to take it.”

“Oh, I get it. You would be in trouble if you said you can’t work without this ……”

I’m glad he understands.

In fact, you shouldn’t use it too often.

It’s not a good thing to give to people

Well, we need Houen to participate in this defense battle.

I don’t think I can handle it alone.

As someone who has the same ranged attack, I need him to be on the front line.

“Alright,! Then, take charge of the adventurers. I’ll arrange some for Ouren. I’ll leave the rest to you, Maria guildmaster!”

“Sure, I’ll leave the adventurers to you,”

After Maria said that, she dropped down from the fortress wall.

I’m sure she’s fine, but I’ m surprised that she can jump down that deep without hesitation,…….

Let’s see, it was a briefing with Houen, wasn’t it?

So what’s in it for me?

“First, let’s see what skills we can use.”

“Got it.”
