- Chapter 39: Liena's POV- Baldo-sama's Unexpected Actions are Predictable(?)
“Princess Liena! Those are Platinum Wolves, not Black Wolves! B-class monsters appearing so soon is a bad sign!”
The captain of the guard expresses his concern.
I knew it! They seemed more silver than black.
“Alesia! As you heard, be cautious… Wait, Alesia’s already charging in!”
Why is she rushing in on her own…
Unconcerned, Baldo-sama and Alesia begin their intense battle amid the dust.
“Baldo-sama’s usual battle cry, ‘Sei! Sei!’ is heard. Alesia swings her rainbow-colored holy sword.
After a while, the dust settled, and all the monsters lay defeated.
Baldo-sama runs back towards us, smiling as if nothing had happened.
Is that really the face of someone who just fought a fierce battle?
“Ba-Baldo-sama! Did you defeat them all? Those were Platinum Wolves, right?”
“What are you talking about, Liena? They were Black Wolves. I remember cutting down a few when I was exiled to Natol. They weren’t strong, so that they couldn’t be strong monsters.”
No way! I heard it takes ten knights to handle just one Platinum Wolf. I need some clarification…
Focus, Liena!
Let’s accept that we’ve stopped the first wave for now.
But my head is already starting to hurt…
“More importantly, the second and third waves are coming! I saw them approaching. Everyone, stay alert!”
Baldo-sama readies his sword again.
“Baldo-sama, what’s coming next?”
“Ah, Liena. Next up are the Red Boars.”
“Red Boars… a common type of monster.”
“They charge straight ahead with considerable force. We need to be careful—here they come!”
A horde of bright red masses charges towards us at an incredible speed.
Baldo-sama and Alesia dive into their furious charge without hesitation.
But those Red Boars seem larger than normal, radiating magical energy, indicating they’ve been enhanced.
Are those Red Boars?
“Princess Liena! Those… those are Great Boars! A-class monsters so early… It usually requires dozens of knights to handle one.”
“A-class?!”
“Princess, we can’t hold them off with our current forces. We need reinforcements…”
I cut off the captain.
“Guard troops, hold your positions! Focus on dealing with any monsters Baldo-sama and Alesia miss! Trust them, we’ll be fine!”
“Yes, ma’am!”
The monsters are not only attacking here. There are many sections of the capital adjacent to the Great Forest, and other towns must also defend against the onslaught.
We can’t afford the luxury of reserve troops.
Again, with cries of “Sei! Sei!” from Baldo-sama, the Great Boars fall one after another.
Are they A-class monsters? They’re being defeated so easily it makes me doubt it.
“Look, Liena! Just watch out for their charge, and anyone can handle them! The trick is to attack from the side.”
Baldo-sama looks triumphantly satisfied, though I’m not sure if it’s just a matter of technique…
But the Red Boars (probably Great Boars) keep charging with incredible force, undeterred by the losses of their companions.
Some of them start to slip through Baldo-sama and Alesia’s attacks.
“The defense force cries out, ‘Hold the line! Show the spirit of Natol’s knights!'”
Fueled by determination, the soldiers start to counter the Great Boars that slipped through, already weakened by Baldo-sama and Alesia’s initial strikes.
“Liena! One’s headed your way! Be careful!”
Baldo-sama shouts a warning. A Great Boar is heading straight for the inn…
I don’t know what to do, but I must try. As I start to chant a spell and move, suddenly…
Thud!
The Great Boar is stopped in its tracks by Sera’s massive hammer.
Oh no, it’s flattened! I won’t be able to eat for days now!
“Liena, the entrance is safe. Sera has turned them all into mincemeat.”
Sera, the magical puppet, says chillingly. Ever since Baldo-sama infused her with 【Fighting Spirit】, she’s become incredibly strong.
I decided to focus on support, casting healing spells, Heal, and injured soldiers. And no, I don’t hug everyone I heal.
That’s reserved for special people. Honestly, hugging or not, the effect is the same.
“Phew, we’ve managed to hold them off for now.”
Baldo-sama and Alesia return.
“It’s amazing how you’ve nearly defeated them all.”
I know Baldo-sama is extraordinary, but I’m still shocked every time.
“Fumu, Liena, it seems like a typical monster stampede.”
What?! How is this typical?!
“They started with common monsters, so it’s probably not a major stampede.”
What common monsters?! Even the captain of the guard mentioned the possibility of a Mega Stampede!
Calm down, Liena. You know Baldo-sama’s quirks better than anyone. This is within expectations. Deep breath…
“Next up are the lizards!”
Lizards…?
If Baldo-sama is right, it’s not a significant stampede…
Oh no, my headache is coming back.
Then, the “lizards” make their appearance.
They’re huge, towering over us…
That’s no lizard…
It’s a dragon!!
Okay, this is outside expectations!!
