After a brief moment of anger, he ran to where the 'Moon Rises' was and quickly gave instructions to his warriors.
"Brave wolf! Over there. Take care of it. Instead."
"······."
"Swift deer! Me. Bow. Assistant."
"······."
The warriors paused for a moment in confusion as they saw me running in the other direction. However, 'Brave Wolf' recognized the urgent situation and spoke urgently.
"Fast deer! Follow me quickly."
"okay."
The 'swift deer' ran past and put an arrow on the bowstring. 'Brave Wolf' ran with the rest of his warriors to deal with the Pequot warriors who had climbed over the fence.
"If we fall, we all die. Don't show mercy to our hands."
"Okay, brave wolf!"
'The Brave Wolf' and the warriors hurled spears and swung their clubs without hesitation at the three Pequot warriors.
Pfft! Pfftpfft! Pfftpfft! Pfftpfft!
As I was running towards 'The Moon Rises', I didn't look back even though I heard painful screams one after another from behind.
'Moon Rises', who was holding the child, was still unaware that the Pequot warriors were pursuing her. And the distance between her and the Pequot warrior was getting closer and closer.
'It's late.'
It seemed likely that the Pequot warriors would reach her and the child before I arrived. I looked back and saw a 'swift deer' running towards me with a bow.
Even if he fires a warning shot with the bow he has, the range is too short and the arrows don't even reach the target.
'I wish my trait had teleportation.'
Because the situation was so urgent, I expressed my dissatisfaction with my lack of ability. What should I do? Will it work?
There was nothing to worry about. Whether it worked or not, I had to try. Because her situation was going from bad to worse.
'Stone window!'
I used my inventory to change my weapon from a club to a spear. And I used the two remaining points to invest in strength and agility respectively.
[Tiring!]
[Strength increased to 27 by using +1 unused remaining points.]
[Tiring!]
[Agility increased to 20 by using +1 unused remaining points.]
It definitely felt different. I feel more energetic than before and I run faster. I thought this wouldn't be enough, so I ran as fast as I could while preparing to invest the remaining unused points right away just in case.
"The moon is rising! Bow down."
"······."
'The Moon Rises' looked at me with its eyes wide open.
"Bow down."
"······."
Seeing the 'very big two thousand days' and the 'fast deer' running towards her frighteningly, 'Moon Rises' realized that something was wrong and quickly bent down while holding the child.
As she bent down, I threw the spear in my right hand with all my might.
Swoosh!
The stone spear left my hand with a sound of cutting through the air and flew fiercely in a long parabolic arc. Before she knew it, the stone spear had passed 'The Moon Rises' and was digging into the chest of the Pequot warrior behind her.
Phew!
I ran and breathed a sigh of relief as the Pequot warrior fell backwards, blood spraying and a spear deeply embedded in his chest.
'Whew!'
My heart was pounding with anxiety, fearing that the spear I threw might hurt her and the child. And just then, the 'Swift Deer' began firing warning shots at the Pequot warriors who had come within his firing range.
Swish! Swish! Swish! Swish!
The arrows that flew from the speaker pierced the chest and shoulder of the Pequot warrior.
Phew! Phew!
"A very big two thousand days! I will continue to assist you from behind, so you finish it up."
"huh."
It's not over yet. I held my shield tightly and quickly passed by 'The Moon Rises', who was looking at me with surprised eyes while holding a child in her arms.
And he struck the Pequot warrior's face hard with his shield, who was kneeling on one knee.
puck!
In an instant, the Pequot warrior, his face covered in blood, fell backwards helplessly.
[Tiring!]
[You have defeated the Pequot Warrior (8).]
[You will receive 50 experience points as a reward.]
[Tiring!]
[You have leveled up.]
[You will receive a random +1 ability and +2 ability points.]
[Your Wisdom stat will increase by 1 based on the random ability increase.]
So far I've dealt with eight Pequot warriors. I was feeling frustrated because I hadn't leveled up for a while... I quickly gained experience and leveled up.
All injuries, big and small, are completely healed, and your whole body feels energized and full of strength, as if you just woke up from a deep sleep.
In addition, the random ability Wisdom has increased and the map radius has increased to 30m. Total 60m. Level up at the right time and get the abilities you need right now.
Without even having time to enjoy this joy, I approached 'The Moon Rises'.
"are you okay?"
"···Yeah. It's okay."
'The Moon Rises' got up with a pale face, holding the child in her arms, and kept exhaling to calm her startled heart.
"Where are you going?"
"Food storage."
Just then, a 'fast-footed deer' came up to me, panting and scolding her instead of me.
"···Are you crazy? What are you doing here? I almost died."
"Sorry."
As the atmosphere suddenly became tense, the girl, who was already scared, burst into tears.
"Eww!"
The 'fast-footed deer' was flustered and tried to comfort the girl.
"I'm sorry! I'm sorry! Don't cry. Don't cry!"
"Aaaah! Mom! I miss you."
Meanwhile, I took a quick look around. Fortunately, there was no danger or risk. Rather, they were doing well dealing with the Pequot warriors who occasionally climbed over the fence.
He turned his head and said to 'The Moon Rises'.
"Food storage. Bring it. Fast deer! Let's go."
"okay."
The 'fast-footed deer', who had been struggling to calm down the child, looked at me with gratitude and took the lead with his bow in hand.
'The Moon Rises' followed me, running to comfort the crying child. The food storage area was crowded with old people, children, and women, and it was chaotic.
'The Moon Rises', who was climbing down the ladder holding a child, said something she couldn't say before.
"You saved me again. Thank you."
"delicacy."
When I tried to ease her anxiety by telling a joke, 'The Moon Rises' laughed in disbelief.
"Okay. I'll make you some delicious food."
Shhh!
"See you later."
Because it was an urgent situation, after saying that, he ran into the battlefield with the 'fast deer'.
[Tiring!]
[You have used the remaining unused points +2 to make your Wisdom 21.]
The map range has been increased to 80m. I checked the red dot on the map window and moved first to where the Pequot warrior was outside the fence.
"Swift deer! Warriors. Take them. Over there."
"Huh? Yeah."
* * *
Kwaaaaang!
The tightly shut gate rattled whenever the Pequot warriors outside the fence pushed hard. The 'Strong Soul Warrior' shouted loudly towards the warriors of the 'Yellow Tree' who were holding on with their whole bodies to prevent the fence gate from collapsing.
"Hold on a little longer! The warriors will be here soon."
Kwaaaaah! Kwaaaaang!
Boom!
The warriors of the 'Yellow Tree', who were standing with their shoulders against the door, were filled with anxiety and fear.
"How many Pequots have come?"
"Damn it! I came here to get married, and now I'm stuck here and going to die."
"I don't think the door can hold up any longer."
'Red Face' also trembled with a dark expression.
"It's noisy, so be quiet."
"······."
The warriors of the 'Yellow Tree' said nothing to the chief's son, 'Red Face', but only glanced at him with eyes filled with discontent.
At that moment, the 'Forest Hunter' and twenty warriors came running towards the entrance, breathing heavily.
"Strong-souled warrior! You're a little late. Where's the door?"
"I'm holding on somehow, but it feels like it's going to collapse soon."
At the negative answer of the 'Strong Soul Warrior', the 'Forest Hunter' frowned and spoke loudly so that everyone could hear.
"Hold on as long as you can! You guys come and lean against the door!"
"Yes, Chief!"
The 'Big Turtle' warriors answered powerfully and rushed toward the fence gate at once. And then one by one, they took their seats and began to lean against the wall.
Kwaaaaang! Kwaaaaang!
The 'Big Turtle' warriors grimaced in surprise as a huge shock was transmitted from the door. The 'Strong Soul Warrior', who had made way for the 'Big Turtle' warrior, spoke to the 'Forest Hunter' with a serious expression.
"There are quite a few Pequots here for a raiding party."
"······hmm!"
"There are more than twenty who have climbed over the fence. There must be more at the entrance. It looks like the Pequots have made a deliberate move to invade."
Even without him saying anything, the 'Forest Hunter' had some idea of the enemy's numbers and the situation on the battlefield.
Unfortunately, the situation is worst. Perhaps, the village of 'Big Turtle' could have disappeared without a trace. However, he did not bring that up in front of the 'strong-souled warrior'.
"But we can't just sit back and let those Pequots take it. We have to fight to the end, no matter what."
"······."
When he didn't get the answer he wanted, the 'Strong Soul Warrior' shook his head and his voice became louder than before.
"Forest Hunter! You seem to be seriously misunderstanding something, which is not typical of you. Are we going to die like this? Do you understand what I am saying?"
"know."
The 'Forest Hunter' turned around and was caught by the 'Strong Soul Warrior' with a very angry expression.
"You said that knowingly?"
"I'm really sorry. If the battlefield becomes unfavorable, I'll buy you time to take the soldiers home."
"what?"
At that moment, the 'Brave Wolf' and the rest of the warriors were returning from dealing with the Pequot warriors who had climbed over the fence.
"Let's talk again later."
The face of the 'Strong Soul Warrior' was distorted greatly as he looked back at the 'Forest Hunter'.
"Crazy! You say that···?"
* * *
I sent the 'Brave Wolf' and the warriors to the entrance first, and then went around the fence from the beginning to the end and checked the map carefully.
"doesn't exist."
Only then did he nod, as if his tension had eased a little, and glanced at his inventory window, which was almost entirely filled with spears and clubs.
As I circled the fence, I secretly stored the weapons the Pequot warriors had dropped in my inventory without anyone noticing.
"It was also a weapon."
I turned around and ran towards the entrance to the fence. The door appeared to be tilted slightly inward and creaking. I checked the map and there were about fifty Pequot warriors outside the entrance.
But that wasn't all. Not far from the entrance, forty Pequot warriors stood ready to deploy at any time.
"I'm going to go crazy. Seriously!"
The friendly forces number forty, including the warriors of the 'Yellow Tree'. They are clearly outnumbered in terms of troops.
If you leave the quest and make a mistake, you will die here. At that moment, an absurd sight caught my eye.
"You're not an idiot. What the hell are you doing without any strategy or tactics?"
Perhaps anticipating the gate's imminent collapse, the village's warriors prepared for close combat, regardless of their unit's affiliation.
As soon as I arrived at the entrance, I went to see the chief, the 'Forest Hunter', and made a strong argument.
"Chief! If we do this, we will lose. The enemy. Is ninety."
"······."
The 'Forest Hunter's' pupils shook violently in surprise at the mention of ninety Pequot warriors, and then for a moment he asked me with eyes that were a mixture of hope and expectation.
"Then what should we do?"
