Chapter 68: The Northern Forest Battle 4
Although we broke through the second defence line with nearly no injuries, but the price for it was the loss of 2 Wind Elementals.
Summoning a Rank 5 familiar need 25MP, this loss to me who is level 19, can be recovered with a 30min rest.
But now we are in the midst of the enemy camp.
We can’t possibly rest 30 min.
So we have to go just like that.
Although I said so, we have to prevent our combat power from decreasing.
So I summoned another 2 new Wind Elementals.
Arisu used her excess MP to heal the injured Wind Elemental.
Now my MP will requires about 60 min to recover.
Perhaps the MP left does not even reach 70.
Now we don’t even know where the main camp of the enemy is at, so we have to reduce the possible loss of the familiars here.
Shiki-san returned after investigating a while.
「In front, the security is too tight, we don’t have enough firepower.」
「How many enemies are there?」
「There are 8-10 archer orcs, at least 6 giant wasps, and there are still 20 small fry orcs on the ground.」
Quite a big number.
Should…… we give up here?
No, since we are already here, no matter what we do, it doesn’t matter if the enemy detects that they are attacked.
The base of the orcs is no doubt somewhere near here.
Then we could be wiping out the vanguards of the enemy.
「We will let Arisu and Tamaki conduct the wiping battle.」
「Wait, Kazu-kun, that is too dangerous.」
Shiki-san panicked.
But when I turned towards her…...
Shiki-san showed me a pranking smile.
Ah ah, so it is like this.
She took the role of stopping while I have the role of explaining.
Such an irritating fellow.
「Mia’s 《Whirlwind》 can create a tornado, and seal the archer orcs’ arrows to a certain extent.」
Mia’s newly learnt Rank 4 Wind Magic 《Whirlwind》, is a magic that create tornado.
Like before, it can create strong wind below the archer orcs.
If it is successful, we can make them fall to the ground just like that.
「And Arisu and Tamaki can use 《Fly》 to attack, then whether it is an archer or what not, they will not be their foes.」
「Although you say that…… but there are still giant wasps and small fry orcs.」
「The opponents of the small fry orcs, will be Sakura-san and my familiars.」
Nagatsuki Sakura can level up to level 5 in the battle just now and her Spear Skill has been raised to Rank 3.
She is the same as Arisu, a pure warrior.
With small fry orcs as her opponents, she perhaps may even think that they are too slow.
「As for the giant wasps, then we will leave them to Shiki-san and the 2 fire magic users who specialised in long distance attacks, I believe that you can do that very well.」
「That…… including me, when facing enemies that are escaping…… what should we do?」
「Hmm, just now we had a tough battle is because we can’t let any enemy go, so if we don’t do that, I guess we can obtain victory easily.」
In that sort of situation, the escaping enemy may call reinforcement…...
Since they will not escape out of the forest, then we can just attack the gathering point of the enemy directly.
It will be good if a BOSS appears.
Our Tamaki will be your opponent.
Anyway if Tamaki who is fully prepared with my support magic, is unable to win against him, then it means that currently we are unable to win against it.
And this is a gamble…...
If we meet an enemy that is above that, then we can only retreat away from this place.
Troops can move freely, are probably all used on attacking our gathering place, the Cultivating Centre yesterday.
Of course, more powerful troops which can be moved could appear, just like the giant wasp that appeared this morning.
If we meet that sort of situation, then there is nothing we can do.
Then my eyes crossed with Shiki-san, and we both understand such a thing like that could happen.
Then we nodded to each other.
「I understand, although there is some risk, but this is something that we have to take.」
After a while, Shiki-san nodded again.
Seems like we have decided to fight.
Shiki-san who has the best eyesight reported..
