Avoid Former Co-Workers

51 – 51. Defense of Osoptera (3)

I gathered the three of John, Noel and Sylvia.

Besides, I’ve prepared thoroughly, so I just have to do what I did before.

There was a time when I thought so.

I had barely finished my preparations, but I never imagined that something like this would have happened in the meantime.

It’s actually strange that I couldn’t stop the Osoptera even though Erica and Aris were there, but I couldn’t afford to think about that right now.

“John, Noel. I’ll cover you, so I’ll rescue those in sight. The wider side can be surrounded, so sneak into the corner.”

“”Okay!!””

“Sylvia. Follow the two guys and clear the road just as you matched me earlier. I will support you and those guys.”

“Leave it to me.”

─You, are you…?

“Get out! Join us!”

“We have to get out of here as quickly as possible, otherwise we’ll have a harder time!”

I succeeded in taking out one of the isolated teams on the nearest side.

‘This would have collapsed if it was a little late.’

Everyone is exhausted, but for now, the meaning is that they survived.

In other words, it was a story that the rest of the guys were in a similar situation.

“Two people, pierce again. Same way as before!”

“We also help…”

“It’s useless even if you try to squeeze out the strength you don’t have. Don’t back up and help those who join. It’s not time to work hard yet.”

That’s the second team. On the most remote side, they succeeded in taking out two desperate teams that were barely holding on.

It’s too much of a burden to pierce the rest as it is. So I have something prepared.

“John! Noel! Pull!”

“”Wow!””

“The right side is pierced! Drill it again like before!”

“”Gazua!!!””

At some point, John and Noel were rushing forward without being shaken, leaving their backs behind. The two of them screamed and ran, not madness, but confidence. Changes in this direction are positive. Very good.

However, this side has no choice but to be shaken.

“Uugh… What is that…”

“Blood…? What else is that…?”

“But it seems that they are less likely to come to us because of that?”

Until just a moment ago, demonic beasts had been fighting for their lives and vomiting out their hunger, but what caught their attention now were those two small buckets.

Thanks to this, the students who continued the arduous battle took a breather, but there was not much blood and meat left to wet and fill the stomachs of the Osopteras.

We need to solve this problem quickly. Bringing everyone together, and even rearranging formations.

“Everyone, form Hashirt 3! Quickly before they attack again!”

“That guy…?”

“Isn’t that Junon?”

I just wanted to hang around.

It’s Junon. At Levant Academy, he is imprinted with troublemakers who always run into accidents and other bad nicknames.

Aside from that, malicious rumors and gossip are spreading, so there’s no way any kind eyes will be directed at him.

However, it was when I heard his voice that I opened my way out of this situation, even for a moment.

“There is no time to procrastinate. If you want to live, listen to me first!!”

Some of the students who were confused changed their arrangements at the word Hasirt 3rd Formation. But.

“What is Hashirt’s ternary form…?”

“I don’t know… I didn’t learn that.”

“I think I heard that only the lower class learns that kind of thing…?”

It is useless to say that there is no time to procrastinate. There is no way to have an understanding of the formation, even though I take the written subject so roughly.

It would have to be about John or Noel to support his strategy, but unfortunately, unlike those two, this one was a blank slate.

In the meantime, a smart person courageously opened his mouth. He was the guy who used to ask Professor Jake to solve problems from time to time.

“It means to change the weight of the support system and buffers to the front line that focuses on defense rather than the back line that is in charge of firepower. In a word… You, the buffers, are the formation that supports the front line.”

“What? Why are we doing that?!”

“You mean we, who used to be in the midfield or rearguard positions, are crazy and have to deal with them directly?!”

“Then what do you want to do?”

“City, Sylvia…”

“We have to hold on because we don’t have enough firepower. Since we’re already lacking in the front line, we’re talking about support.”

Sylvia, who was worse than the students’ rebellious spirit that they couldn’t accept the order.

At times like this, it’s good to apply some pressure and act hard.

“If you don’t do it, you’ll die. Do you want to die from being eaten?”

“Even so, how can you listen to such a baseless bastard? On what grounds?”

“That guy with no roots created this gap, even for a moment. Do you want to see the possibility of surviving by doing what he told you to do?

“That’s…”

“I think I’ve figured it out at this point. I’ll bet on the possibility of surviving even a little bit. So, if you go wild, I won’t stand still.”

They know. Right now, that bucket has the eyes of the Witchbeasts, but who will be next? The next prey, of course, will be humans.

Silvia’s stinging blow made their backs ache, and only then did they listen.

It was as he expected.

-‘How are you, Sylvia? Can you do it?’

-‘If that’s the case… I’ll tell the kids what you ordered.’

-‘It’s not okay to talk casually. Because we need to be vigilant. I have to go a little hard.’

If even one person disobeys orders in a desperate situation, the organization is likely to collapse.

From then on, it was no different from being a colleague and wearing a hump.

Therefore, Junon said something to Sylvia beforehand because there might be some students who might be against Sylvia.

Thanks to this, the ranks were able to gather opinions without being disturbed, and everyone is accepting the role without hesitation, even if they are not used to it.

John and Noel’s support was taken over by them, and naturally, there was room for them.

“Wait a minute! Guys, you’re in too much of a hurry…!”

Those who are in crisis often make these mistakes. In a desperate situation, it is bound to be more frequent.

Because human beings are animals that are swept away by emotions.

However, as I mentioned earlier, if you have more time, you can deal with this kind of thing.

– Tung!

“Oh, what?”

Inherent magic suitable for blocking attacks is easy to cover and protect someone.

“Don’t stop! I will support you, so open the road and get out.”

“Junon…? Why am I talking to you…!”

“You idiot, come out when you have time to stop looking at me. If you repeat the same mistake, everyone will die together next time. Do you want to be killed like a dog?”

“…”

Threats and pressure have always been effective. I spat out curse words and knocked on my head, so there were many reactions like that, even though I was resentful, I should listen to it.

It didn’t matter if there were hostile glances. Because in order for him to live, the students here must also survive.

The isolated team escaped one by one, and the team that was besieged by Osoptera somehow got injured, but didn’t die.

This is a sufficient result.

From this point on, they must have come to their senses, and they started taking care of each other in order to build the trust of other colleagues.

─Please support this side!

——Junon. Can you come in?

“This side isn’t organized. Hold on for one more turn!”

─It’s attached to the right! I broke through the encirclement of the other team!

─Can I go in now?

“Okay. Break through as it is. The front end of the blocking system over there! Now trust me and come out only through the front! Don’t think about the side!”

From then on, they followed Junon’s instructions and succeeded in rescuing all of them, and the scattered students were able to gather again.

It’s time to draw out the last card.

“John, Noel!”

“”Okay!!””

I entrusted John and Noel with chunks of meat to feed the monsters. To buy a moment of time. But I have one more request for them.

“Raise your shields, vanguards, and close your eyes!!”

– Kii Ik!!!

A crudely handcrafted light source emits light in front. As if a flash grenade had gone off, a light source covered his vision.

A beam of light that would make your forehead burn quickly passed by, and the beasts lost their sight and were scrambling.

“Maintain Hasirt 3rd formation. Let’s go to the Alkaid Hall! Take care of all the wounded! Time is about 10 seconds!”

The only thing left now is to hold on.

Now that you have used up all the cards you prepared to rescue the isolated and besieged group and make a gap, it’s time to fill it up with your body.

***

“You’re all in?!”

─I checked! There’s no one else out there!

Okay. As it is, the six teams can form a group and rotate in 5-minute increments to block them.

The students who entered the Alkaid Hall focused on knocking out and blocking the Osoptera from the narrow entrance.

“It only kills time. Take turns holding out until support comes. The six teams will form a group and take turns blocking every 5 minutes.”

No one wants to protest against him anymore.

They will know. That this situation is much easier now.

From noble mtl dot com

Rather than intercepting the Orthoptera that jumped in and flew away from the plains, by reducing the attack range of the monsters at the entrance of the building, they had more time to spare.

Junon wanted to hold on as much as possible until support came, so he asked for one more time, and the remaining students maintained their tension without question.

‘I’ll see what’s left.’

The most important thing in sit-in is to quickly predict the current state and what will happen in the future.

By the way… The number of students is at least much smaller. Looking at cancer alone, it is about 2/3 of the number before regression.

I need to know what happened.

“I’m finally going to live… Huh? Isn’t that Junon?”

Just then, someone who could answer how things were going was catching his breath in front of him.

“Henna. I’m going to ask you a question, so answer me. I’m in a hurry, so summarize it as much as possible.”

.

.

.

“Ha, there were children who strayed?”

“Yes. We had a hard time holding on and sat down, but they said they were looking for a way to survive and went somewhere else!”

I was at a loss for words when I was informed of the rough situation from Henna.

Obviously people like that appear when you’re in a crisis, but it wasn’t to this extent.

‘This time I’m gone, so Aris will take over the command, so I thought she’d obey without saying anything.’

Anyway, I couldn’t help what had already happened.

I don’t understand it anymore when I’m asking about the next process.

“What? Kennik hexadecimal?”

“It will be. I don’t know, but… I remember that it was in this state without changing to Kennik hexadecimal.”

Why?

Why did you use Kennik’s hexadecimal?

Even then, Aris definitely took this arrangement. It is mainly used by regular troops and expeditionary forces, which are stable and standard, called Kennik 6 formations.

Commonly used layout by the most teams facing monsters.

Based on the front, they are listed in the order of front, support, buffer, middle, and rear, and are often used safely when dealing with the majority of monsters.

So I can say with certainty that this arrangement is wrong.

This formation is never right when dealing with numbers that the vanguard cannot handle.

I have to ask why he did such a thing, and I need Aris and Erica’s help right now, so I have to find them.

“Henna, where are Aris and Erica?”

“Those two…”

What the hell happened and this is how you react?

As Junon tilted her head, Henna, unable to answer the question, raised her index finger and pointed in the direction.

“…!”

The two lay on the ground covered in blood.

***

Aris. Erica.

As a member of Tembris both in name and reality, they are not inferior to Goden or Michelle.

Aris is excellent both as a single rearguard attacking with lotus blossoms, and as a midfielder who creates gaps for Michelle’s magic to become effective hits.

It is not for nothing that it has been nicknamed the lotus flower Aris.

The same goes for Erica. Healers are among the top types of buffers, so it’s needless to say.

In addition, did not he even make up for his slightly lagging firepower by polishing his unique magic that will sprout later?

The two of them are party members who survived even though the principality was driven to the edge of a cliff and reached an atrocious situation.

By the way, the fact that those two are down is beyond the scope of calculation, but it is too serious.

“Bleeding…!”

Even then, Erica remembers that she was scratched by Osoptera and was bleeding.

However, that was not the case at present. Erica’s stomach was completely pierced, and her regurgitated blood was running down her mouth.

I can tell just by looking at the amount of blood that even wets Aris’s hair. This was not a minor wound, but a serious one that threatened her life.

After collecting the remaining thousand items in the building, first aid was taken.

“Tell me what happened.”

“That’s…”

When I heard from the guy that Aris was here, she cursed at me.

“Those assholes…!”

I retreated several times to buy time, but in the end they escaped again.

It’s a situation where we have to cooperate with each other and hold out until support arrives, but what? Leave the battlefield?

Her head hurts all over.

‘Besides, the situation is not very good.’

The situation is worse than before the regression.

The power of the position in charge of firepower has already been exhausted as the students who took the rear and midfield positions squeezed their magic from the beginning.

It’s a bonus that I can’t fulfill my role because I forcibly learned and used elemental magic that didn’t suit my body.

The problem was the number of demon beasts that were swarming outside, and the inefficient use of magic power inside.

Even the absence of Aris, who joined a separate team with multiple positions and lived as a mercenary, is fatal.

If it was Aris’s words, she knew how to listen and obey them, but some of them broke away, perhaps because they were people who couldn’t use them.

In addition, there are quite a number of people in that group. The worst thing is the condition of Aris and Erica, who are the backbones to buy time.

The current power level was remarkably low compared to that time.

“Keep reporting the situation. How many teams are left?”

“We have two teams left. We’re recovering, but we’re still here!”

It’s not long.

We succeeded in turning off the remaining time as much as possible by rotating with the remaining members, but the Osoptera’s hunger will only intensify.

As long as they become dogs chasing chickens with their prey in front of them, all living things will be the same.

I’m going crazy. It is said that the eyes are reversed and only sees the target and runs.

-Kiyik! Key profit!!!

“Oh, something is more difficult than before?”

“Support staff! Tie him up some more!”

“It’s impossible for us too! Even now, magic is…”

“How many castings are left?”

“It’s been a while since I shot it. I’ll have to wait a little longer!”

I’ve made that kind of judgment to take some time, but I can’t afford it either.

Although I knew it was straining my body, I was in a situation where my magic power and stamina were running out from fighting several more times.

‘Erika is…’

He’s barely holding on to the bleeding.

He’s receiving regeneration magic and pain relief magic, but he’s still unconscious.

I can barely get my pulse, but it keeps getting weaker, so my anxiety doesn’t go away.

What about Aris? She was all one.

Because those assholes worked too hard even before they escaped, mana exhaustion came, and they didn’t wake up after being knocked down.

On the verge of being pushed at the entrance. The students were desperate to deal with the rampaging monsters, but that number was too much.

I tried not to use it, but I had no choice but to use it.

“What, what…? The monsters…”

“I can’t come closer…?”

I hit a huge barrier to prevent the monsters from approaching.

“Junon…”

As if Sylvia recognized it, she turned her head and watched me with her worried eyes. Of course. Because she knows that I am the master of this magic.

“Conserve your stamina first. I don’t know how long I’ll last. Gather as many decent people as possible and make at least one more team.”

If they wanted to survive, they had no choice but to borrow the power of the Blassure Ark.
