Talia cried for a while and since we have to fight these waves of monsters back I began to tell them what we should do.
"We can't be sure this is the work of the proctor and for all we know he might be there fighting that monster right now."
"So the best we could do is to wait here and defend against these number of monsters?"
"Yes, that's right. So here's the plan."
I started to explain to them what we should do. especially Kurt who was livid for some time now.
"We're going to fight them within these walls since we don't have any means of attacking them from afar."
I then showed them a couple of spears from my inventory.
"Here are spears, use them at holes on these walls though tiny it is good enough for the spears to go through."
"Can I use my arrows?"
"Of course, you can go above the tower with a good view. and here you could use some extras." I said that to her as I took out a few more quivers of arrows.
"But won't we be hit by the attack from the outside."
"That won't happen. I already placed runes on these walls that can prevent those so ease up and attack freely."
"That's good, but why are you carrying your sword?"
Kurt then asked about my getup.
"I am going to attack them outside to lessen the burden you guys are about to receive."
And then we wait till they are close enough for us to attack.
~~~~~~~
"They seem to have noticed the monsters from afar maam."
"So?"
"I think it is best to attack them with full force."
"True but it wouldn't be fun, just wear them out for now."
"Yes ma'am. Men attack!"
Then the monsters of the assassins attack the base of Dustin and the others.
krua.
kreee
kikiki.
"By the way, they seem to have noticed the attack quite early. even though I wanted it to be a surprise for them. How did they do it?"
"It seemed that the rank two individual had some talent and was able to locate us quite early."
"Oh my, that's intriguing. I'll keep my eyes on him. I think he will be a nice entertainment for me."
As she said that she left and the remaining assassins stayed put.
"haaaa. she's gone, everyone take your position."
"I feel bad for that full plated armor guy."
"Well it is good for us. I don't want to be at the receiving end of her wrath."
"You're right that's why the competition in the underworld is fierce. One wrong move and the higher ups will give you the time of your life. And she's only on the mild side, they say."
"Stop chatting, we need to focus."
"But you do agree, right."
"Unfortunately I do. Although she is on the mild side with her sadistic attitude she still torture people only because they look funny. But believe me, there are others who do worse.
"Oh so that's why we have to wear a mask at all times."
"Well it is to cover our identities but when eating we still wear them which is weird, but now I understand."
"Like I said enough talking and continue to concentrate on controlling those monsters."
They stop talking afterwards but not because the other person said so but they become speechless at the weapon Dustin used to mow down his enemies.
~~~~~~~
The monsters charged at us after we were done preparing like it was waiting for it.
And seeing this I jump over the walls and face all these thousand monsters.
They got closer and closer and when they are at the half line from the base I throw a few jars of liquid to every direction the monsters go.
And then
Fluish
Arrows were fired at the base. This was also part of my plan to create a firewall. When I gave my quivers to KIm I told her about its functions ,making this plan happen.
At first they were reluctant thinking that I would also be burned and that the walls are made of wood.
But I told them that my armor was made from special materials and that ordinary flames can go through it. As for the walls the enchantment includes resistance against fire so it was safe.
The monsters suffered a huge burn and they ran around bumping to each other making the flame spread and worse than before.
Luckily this medow is wide and they are far from the forest making this place free from forest fire.
But since there are thousands of them, I need to cut them down fast.
I attacked and each swing I killed at least two to three monsters. At this rate I can finish them off within an hour.
And as that continued the monsters that bypass my attacks charged at the base only to be stabbed by the spears.
And since there is fire the wall was engulf around it. But like I said to them before, this wall is fire resistant. and there is also something I haven't told them and that the wall has some low quality air conditioning ability.
So as the enemies get burned turning to ashes they can relax inside as Kim assists me from afar.
And then half an hour passed and suddenly the high ranking monsters showed themselves.
NGrrraa!
Although they don't number a thousand they are at least a hundred of them if my estimations are correct.
They dashed to my direction and slammed their weapon on me. too bad for them I just slipped past them and attacked.
But this time wasn't easy. I need to at least do a few more swings until I can kill one of them. Not to mention there are still half of the monsters left.
The monsters consist of wolves, hobgoblins and orcs. As for the leader, suddenly since the titan can only sense it I don't know where or what it is.
So beating these numbers is important.
The attacks go on and before we know it we are already feeling fatigued. I know this will happen. I need to get out of this mess as soons as possible.
Gathering a huge amount of mana I blasted a few of them away from me giving me a chance to escape and get back to the base.
~~~~~~~
"Amazing, he could fight against that number."
"Your right and his weapon cuts through the monsters so easily."
"Did you guys not see the base unscathed from the flames?"
"You're right."
"I need to report this."
"Eh now?"
"Yes, it's not going as planned."
"No need, I'm here."
"""Ma'am."""
"I was wondering what that unusual noise was so it was that magic tool he is using."
"Yes the monsters are dwindling fast as time passes by."
"No worries. Send the new batch."
"""Yes ma'am."""
As she commands the troop the female assassin is quiet without an ounce of her former arrogance.
'I wonder what you are, mister knight. If it is possible I would like to make you my toy but if you go against my mission then you're to blame.'
As she said that dialogue in her mind she sits quietly at the top of the chair as the battle goes on.
~~~~~
"How is it?"
"New monsters arrive and they are high ranking once and there are about hundreds of them."
"What should we do then?"
"Don't worry they can't breach the walls just yet. For now I return to tell you guys the next step and give you these to recover from our fatigue."
"Potions?"
"Yeah. Now drink up and I'll tell you the plan."
"Gulp." We all gulped up the potion and along with it we replenish our stamina and it is best to note that they use the potion that has my blood, while I use normal ones.
"Okay, here's what we should do."
After a few minutes of discussion we proceeded with the plan
~~~~~~~
"Now Charge!"
"""HHAaahhhh!"""
We divided ourselves into two teams: one attack and the other support as the flames spread we were able to minimize the number of enemies now they are only a few hundreds left.
We had two huge shields Gibson and James tackled the huge monsters while I assisted them from being attacked. then for the finisher it was the work of the twins.
Although two people are the only ones that are staying at the back we were still able to pull the agro of these monsters.
The plan was simple, smashing these guys with huge shields and these two shields are made from titans shell and they are also one of my prototype boomerang shields but they are too huge to handle and are not yet finished.
So as we bashed these monsters we are able to easily take down the high ranking monsters while mowing down the weak ones. just from a simple plan with a simple weapon, well an unusually huge one is not simple but still it did the job.
Now we are down to a few dozen and as we were about to finish the last of them James was blown away by a huge rock.
"guah!"
"""James!"""
Another one came and I sliced those rocks not to mention trees that are somehow flying our way.
A few seconds passed by and the throwing stopped and there a huge monster was standing faraway staring at us with a grim look on his face.
'So that's the monster Titan talked about, a mutant high troll.'
