Chapter 361
Air Raid Defense
The soldiers gathered on the castle walls held rifles and mounted them on the wall, standing in a line.
Soon after, they felt the things that had been faintly visible from beyond the Black Land drawing closer.
Those shapes were undulating.
"Didn't they say only a portion was approaching here?"
"Are those really part of those monsters?"
W еḃn о v̈ е̂l. Е̂ńumа̌
Even just what was faintly visible was close to an all-out attack.
Those who had participated in the fortress defense battle could gauge just how many there were.

'Five times more than back then.'
It wasn't just the numbers.
What had swarmed back then were straggler small monsters.
But now, the small monsters belonging to the horde had forms and characteristics specialized for attack.
W еb nоvеl̂ Ënům а̄
Placing those small monsters at the front, medium ones followed behind.
Individuals about 6 meters tall in giant humanoid form numbered over ten.
Those shapes maintained bipedal gait and each seemed to hold a weapon in their hands.
However, those hard-looking hardened bodies were clearly part of the monsters' bodies.

They merely looked like they were mimicking the creatures they had seen.
As if envying and jealous of those who received divine grace.

A bear-shaped monster was dangerous enough to give an entire army trouble, but medium ones were on a level where words were unnecessary.
The soldiers thought as they watched those giant shapes approach.
Even with this rifle that could take them down in one shot if lucky, would it be possible to kill those things?
It sprouted such doubts.
That was just from looking at the medium ones.
When the large monster revealed itself, even those doubts no longer had meaning.

"Good heavens..."
What had been hidden in the dark scenery.
That was why what had looked like simply a giant tree slowly moved as if it were clearly a creature with legs, following behind.
Height exceeded 30 meters, a giant so massive it could easily crush the Wall with both hands.
"It looks like a demon's illegitimate child crawled up from hell."
"Even demon bastards would try to adopt it, then turn away saying 'this is a bit much'?"
W̃ е b̀ nо vе́l̂ Е̊n ûm̃.а
It was a lame joke, but no one gave a retort or scolding.
In a situation this tense, without even such humor, it was an overwhelming appearance that would have drowned them in fear.

'That's just a portion.'
If those things launch an all-out offensive, would they really be able to survive?
"Everyone load! We must finish them in one go!"
"Don't try to snipe to save ammo! Know that your marksmanship is pathetic! The reason you trained so hard was only to maintain the defense line!"
En̊ umа̃
Each platoon leader shouted, trying to shake off the creeping fear.
We must catch them early.
The defense line collapsing was already a foregone conclusion.
Ferdá was inside the highest spire of the Frontesis Wall.

Being at the highest point, it was the perfect place to observe the entire wall situation.
The members who had been in the command room had moved there directly and were watching the situation.
Ẽ ńú m а̄ . і̆d
The supreme commander Mori and vice-commander Olivia.
And Hudret and Abdulmesid.
They formed an object on the central table.
A miniature tactical display faithfully containing the Frontesis Wall and its surroundings unfolded.
It was high-grade magic that visualized information confirmed through detection magic of the external situation.
"Flying entities confirmed. Numbers correspond to approximately 5% of small monsters."

The scouts deploying surveillance magic moved their mouths without rest.
A situation hectic enough that the slightest carelessness could miss something.
But Mori didn't miss those voices.
They were input into her mind, processed the input information, and output it directly.
"Deploy snipers for anti-air entities. After firing, snipers are instructed to operate independently."
"Confirmed."
Е̂ n ũ m̊ а .іď
"Grenadiers stand by. Execute after firepower enhancement order."
"Confirmed."

She controlled the entire situation with short, concise commands.
Even Olivia, who had considerable military command talent, couldn't easily throw commands that simply.
Commanding a large force alone, the command flowed like water.
Soon after, dwarven artisans climbed up to the spire top.
Ẃ ëḃ nо̇ v e l̈ Е́ñ um̆ а
They were each armed and dressed as soldiers.
Orin, wearing armor radiating brilliant golden light, was also in that group.
"Long time no see, Regent!"
Orin greeted Ferdá warmly as he looked at him.

"Because that thing is right on top of this spire. Want to take a look?"
The giant gun they'd been secretly making bit by bit among themselves.
W̃е b̀ ñо̌ vӗl̊ Е̊ṅ ù m а
He got to see that ultra-high-power gun that had been made into a warmonger's weapon.
Ferdá followed Orin and arrived at the spire summit.
The large, beautiful new form covered by a huge cloth revealed itself.
"Is that the gun?"
"Damn right, that's the gun!"
Since Ferdá had been holed up in his room for three days, this was his first time seeing the real thing.

He said he'd make a damn huge gun.
'It really is huge.'
Impossible for dwarves to lift, a gun so giant it would take five ogres bracing just to barely lift it.
So they fixed it to the floor and made it adjustable via gears.
"How is it? Seeing the real thing?"
"Magnificent."
Ё ṅ.ǔm а̊
"That's it?"
He wondered if anything more was needed.

Ferdá's mind had no leisure for flattery right now.
"Can't help it with the urgent situation. A masterpiece should be seen right after it's made, like fresh bread, for that emotion to come through."
"I see."
"I was dying to show you first, but the attendant said no because you were training!"
W̄е b̃n̂o v̊еl Е́n̊ ū m_а̇
"It was a bit tough."
"I can tell just by looking at your face."
Orin didn't ask for details.
He didn't seem curious in the first place.

"Is there a reason you installed it here?"
"I'd like to make several, but unfortunately there's no time, and this is the only place that can withstand the recoil."
Е.n̈ u mа
"If it can't withstand normal recoil, aren't we in danger too?"
With strong firepower, the aftereffects are also dangerous.
That applied not just to magitech but to mages as well.
"Not at all! I made it so all the recoil and such goes down through the supports!"
"Certain—."
"You wouldn't dare do something as foolish as questioning a dwarven artisan's work, would you?"

Ferdá closed his mouth.
Since that day, he keeps doing things he'll regret.
"So what's this called... do I have to call it 'damn... big gun'?"
Olivia hesitated to say the name and asked, and Orin spoke proudly.
"That's right! A really big gun! A damn huge gun!"
"Is there no special name given?"
Е̇n̊ u mа . і̂ď
"A gun is a gun! A tremendously big gun! Doesn't that alone give off intimidation?"
"You're right. Truly, dwarves' sense is different."
Baca cerita ini hanya di situs resmi Enuma.id!
Olivia spoke with a smile, but Ferdá could tell.
He felt a determination to never call it by that vulgar word as-is.
"How about this? Calling this giant gun simply a 'gun' isn't right. Isn't it a great achievement the dwarves accomplished?"
"Two words would be nagging, wouldn't it!"
E ňŭḿ а̃ ..іd
"Then something more noble and catchy would be good. I think calling it 'Frontesis's Spear' wouldn't be bad?"
"Frontesis's Spear?"
"Wouldn't the Bronze Dragon you serve like it? This wall was also named after him, wasn't it? The achievement is to be known across the Serdes Continent, right?"
"Hmm... That's right! Frontesis's Spear! A damn fine name! Human lass!"
Dilarang mengopy novel dari Enuma.id.
"Oh my, hearing you say that is deeply moving."
The damn huge gun thus became Frontesis's Spear.
Ë numã.i d̂
"So when will you use Frontesis's Spear?"
"Wasteful to feed it to medium bastards! You prepared it to feed that bastard way out there, didn't you?"
That's true.
The number of magic stones poured into that one shot was concentrated from the amount a whole platoon could fire nonstop for a day.
If it misses, a catastrophe will occur.
"Monsters have entered visual range!"

They passed the flag set at the 3km mark from the wall.
Hearing those words, Mori sent a signal.
"All shooters load simultaneously. Await command after effective range."
She sent the signal, and with that signal, all platoon leaders' shouts erupted.
"Entering effective range!"
"All shooters aim at effective range and defense line. Stand by to fire."
Wе́ b̄ nо̀v̇ е́l Е n̄ ů m̀ à
Mori calmly looked down at the tactical display.
Monsters drew closer, and the gluttonous sounds they emitted scratched at the heart.

Krrk! Krrk!!
Just as they passed effective range and headed for the defense line.
"Commence simultaneous fire."
With the supreme commander's command, gunshots erupted.
Ẇ èbnov̀ е̂l̆ Е̃ ň ū m̊ а̇
Papapapang!!
Thunderous sound resonated through the wall.
Dust rose from the ground and monsters fell as if swallowed by it.
Like enemies being sucked into a sand swamp.

"A spectacle like no other."
Hudret watching said that.
Е̇ ñu m̌ ă
He thought magitech infantry would excel in defense battles, but this was beyond imagination.
Yet the monsters' advance didn't stop.
Even before death, no one could stop their craving.
The defense line is completely breached.
"Firepower enhancement."
Mori's command was issued again.

"Grenadiers! Throw grenades!"
Purple grenades drew arcs from atop the wall and fell to the ground.
Kwang!
High-power bombs pushed back monsters.
Lightweight small monsters were of course destroyed, and even bear-sized ones had their forms shattered and movements stopped.
But the problem was the medium monsters.
Ẅе́ bn.о̊ v е l̂ Е n̆ ū m̆ а
Terrifying beings that despite overwhelming size were merely classified as medium.
With each step they took, vibrations climbed the castle wall.

Those individuals that had been walking slowly now approached effective range.
"Arrived at effective range. Commander, your orders."
Mori analyzed the medium monsters reflected on the tactical display with her eyes.
Her instructions that had continued without pause created a blank for the first time.
W.е̌b n о vе l _Е̇ n̊ ů m а̌
After about 30 seconds of silence, she opened her mouth again.
"Target change. Priority to stopping medium monsters over small monsters. Concentrated fire ordered."
Command reached the chaotic battlefield.
The command flying into the fierce fight flustered the platoon leaders.

"Kill those big things first!"
"What?! Monster brats are already climbing right up the wall!"
Е̄_ǹü m ӓ ._і̊ d̊
They say ignore those climbing the wall, but it's not easy.
They were at the very front of the frontline, and death was that much closer.
"Everyone follow the commander's orders!"
"We'll take responsibility for your lives!"
Knights who had been in reserve drew swords and shotguns to boost morale.
Knowing that if command trust collapses they'll fall like dominoes, the knights stepped up.

The barrage heading downward increasingly turned toward medium monsters all at once.
Blue light burst out with purple flesh and green blood.
-Geu-oo-ok!
Unlike small ones making sharp sounds, they groaned with rough, crude noises.
They raised hands as if in pain, protecting their heads.
Their advance didn't stop.
E n̂ u̇ m̆а̊. і̊ d̂
"They're not being stopped!"
"Seems time to bring that out!"

Orin got excited like he'd been waiting for this moment.
Since they'd made weapons for large monsters, they naturally had weapons made for medium monsters too.
"Dwarf army, stand by."
But the commander Mori replied coldly.
Е̌ṅùm а̂
Her eyes were on the tactical display moving terribly.
Orin reacted like he couldn't understand.
"When we're being pushed like this, showing our gear raises allied morale, doesn't it?!"
"Dwarf army stand by. Maintain firing targets."

But the only reply was mechanical.
Orin shouted with a face showing hurt pride.
En̊ ü ḿа
"What does a brat who doesn't know the ways of the world know! I'll order them to bring it out right now!"
Orin tried to gesture to the dwarf army on his own.
"Being hasty won't do any good."
Hudret blocked him.
"So you're saying obey a brat who seems to not know worldly things?!"
"That brat suppressed me and Abdulmesid here with skill."
Dilarang mengopy novel dari Enuma.id.
"You?"
He didn't know what kind of human Abdulmesid was, but Hudret's fame was widespread.
A man famous for his high nose wouldn't lightly listen to a young girl's words.
"The commander's orders are absolute. Observe the chain of command. Dwarf King."
Abdulmesid also sided with Hudret.
In the end, Orin tucked his tail and waited.

'I backed her up, but the situation isn't favorable in reality.'
How many magazines did a few gun barrels use?

Mana bullets pierced medium monster skin and dug inside, but tenacious regeneration showed no sign of slowing.
-Geu-oo-ok!
Some of them roared as if annoyed.
Then they grabbed handfuls of small monsters on the ground.
Ėn̂.u m а̂. і d
Abnormally shaped hands lifted three or four at once.
Sudden action, but the next action was immediately predictable.
They threw the monsters they held with force.
"Monsters are flying in!"
Dilarang mengopy novel dari Enuma.id.
"Everyone hold your positions!"
Monsters clearing the wall in a single bound and entering inside.
E ň u ṁ a . і̂ d̊
They didn't care about the impact of hitting the ground, entrusting their bodies to instinct.
"Kyaaak!"
From that point, casualties began to occur.
Only then did platoon leaders understand why medium monsters had to be removed first.
The most dangerous weren't the small ones climbing the wall right now, but those huge bodies throwing monsters to create melee chaos.
