Chapter 70 Village Defense
Chapter 70 Village Defense
”A herd of beasts is coming. With this rhythm of ringing bells, there may be a lot of them.”
The village chief explained the meaning of the bells and said calmly, “But the walls of our village are very strong, please don’t worry.”
”No, it is our mission to defeat the beasts and protect the village. We can’t pretend that we don’t know when the other party comes to our door.”
Natsu stood up and bumped his fists together, “I’m already ignited, Happy!”
”Love!”
Happy understood, wings grew from his back, and flew out with Natsu.
Natsu in the air said, “Let’s go first. If you come too late, you won’t have a share, Rod!”
Rod was too lazy to answer. I wish I didn’t have a share. It’s tiring to provide mounts and help you clean up along the way.
“Mr. Rod, the beasts are very dangerous, your companions…”
“Don’t worry, Natsu is very strong.” Rod said, “I have to go first.”
“Excuse me!” The village chief was worried that he would fly away, so he hurriedly stopped him and said, “Excuse me, is there anything we can help with?”
“…So, there is one thing.” Rod thought to himself that he had to wait for the village chief to remind him before he could remember it. He was too careless and almost led astray by Natsu.
“Please go ahead.”
“Please organize the villagers to prepare more water and sand that can be used to put out fires.”
“What?”
“Natsu uses fire magic, which is powerful but also easy to cause accidents.
So please inform the villagers in advance, and it is best for every household to be prepared.”
“I see.” The village chief nodded. He didn’t know much about magic, but fire magic must be very powerful to deal with wild beasts.
“Answer the call, Crimson Razorback!”
… Rhodes saw Naz’s figure clearly and criticized him in his heart. It was too unsafe to jump directly from such a high place.
He jumped onto the arrow tower from the back of the raptor and let the raptor fly out to attack.
”Mr. Wizard!” The one guarding the arrow tower was Bit Bar, one of the two people who welcomed Rhodes into the village.
The unlucky child was forced to work overtime before his shift changed.
”Thank you for your hard work. The one with the fire is my companion. You have seen him. Please tell everyone not to shoot arrows randomly.”
”Yes!” Bit agreed and turned to worry, “But your companion rushed into the middle of the beast herd alone. Is it okay?”
It was dark. Rhodes could barely see that the size of the beast herd was more than fifty, but it was difficult to judge the specific type of beast.
With the help of Natsu’s firelight, he could see clearly that there were wolves and leopards surrounding him.
The one hit by the fire meteor that just fell from the sky was a tiger.
“Don’t worry about him. If you want to help, bring more torches… and prepare some water.”
Rod arranged some odd jobs for the villagers without authorization. However, this obviously did not make them feel at ease. Many people still carried bows and arrows, climbed up the arrow tower, or set up long ladders to lie on the wall.
”Fire dragon’s iron fist!”
”Fire dragon’s claw!”
Natsu had fun outside the wall, punching a wild wolf away and kicking a cheetah away.
As if he felt that this was not enough, Natsu opened his arms, and the flames spread from his wrists to the air, forming a pair of flaming wings, flapping down like a fire dragon: ”Fire dragon’s wing attack!”
Five wild wolves were blown away by this move, their hair ignited in flames, and they wailed and rolled on the ground.
“So strong, so strong!”
“That’s magic, that’s the power of the wizard!”
“With this kind of power,If we can get more, we won’t have to worry!”
Natsu’s active performance opened the villagers’ eyes and gave them confidence.
After completing the task of sending Natsu, Habby flew to the arrow tower to find Rod: “Rod, aren’t you going to fight?”
Rod said: “I am fighting.”
”You are lying, you are standing here.”
Rod shook his head and sighed: “Who said that only those who stand in the light are heroes?”
”I don’t understand. ”
Rod pointed to a slightly dim place. In fact, his group of raptors and a group of shadow wolves were already fighting.
The crimson raptor used a move called “Feathers Flying All Over the Sky” to shoot a brown bear into a dartboard with its feathers like flying knives.
It’s a pity that after the same attack hit the rhino, the feathers could only penetrate most of it and could not cause much damage.
However, the crimson raptor lived up to its name of “Sharp Beak”. After flapping its wings and sprinting, it could penetrate the belly of the rhino.
The small raptors performed worse, but they were enough to deal with wild wolves and the like.
As for the shadow wolves, they were now biting a fighting python. The python was bleeding and could only struggle to death.
”I am a summoner. It is not my job to fight on the front line. Do you understand? ”
Happi realized that Rod’s fighting style was far less conspicuous than Natsu’s at night, and his wild monsters might be mistaken by the villagers as attacking beasts.
“But since you don’t want to fight yourself, why do you want to learn fighting from everyone?”
“To give the enemy a surprise when he thinks he can easily deal with me by bypassing the wild monsters.”
“So cunning.”
Rod grabbed Habby’s face: “How can you use cunning to describe your own people? It’s smart and cautious!”
“Love~”
Rod let go of Habby: “And in addition to them, I also sent two river crabs to patrol around the village wall. I’m very busy.”
After all, no one stipulates that wild beasts can only attack the main gate. Other directions are also worth paying attention to.
Happi looked at it quietly for a while, and then asked: “Why not send out that kind of stone beetle too?”
“You have a lot of questions. “Rod said, “If I release too many monsters to fight, my magic power won’t last long, and I’m very tired today.”
Release all the monsters at once, you can only hit a burst, just like the wizard who attacked two ghosts that day.
With enough magic power left for self-protection, the continuous combination attack that day was Rod’s stronger burst combo.
If you want to fight a protracted war, it is most appropriate to release two or three groups.
With the efforts of Natsu and the monsters, the attacking beasts quickly decreased. It was the first time for the villagers to participate in such an easy defense battle – they just had to watch.
