Book 5: Chapter 2 (5)
Vol. 5 Chapter 2 – Part 5
While moving into a crowd of monsters, a young soldier had a thought.
He would die here.
Chosen Ones, like Schnee Raizar, could exterminate a crowd of monsters all by themselves.
However, if the mutation class ogre was left unattended, it would reach Balmel before the reinforcements could arrive. Even the tremendously powerful shoots, which had originated from the top of the rampart, had been repelled. Because the defenses inside the castle were weaker than the defenses outside, he didn’t know how much damage it would cause if the gate broke.
Therefore, a suicide squad consisting of especially high-levelled troops from the cavalry unit were going in to buy some time.
He was afraid of dying. No matter how long he trained, that was one fear he couldn’t overcome. And yet, the young man and the knights riding around him had chosen to fight. Even if they could only delay the monster a little, they believed that it would protect Balmel.
“50 mels until contact with the enemy――!!”
Thanks to their training, they also knew the approximate distance to the target. It was the distance between the young man and death.
