The giant snow rabbits started to get flustered as they tried to evade the bullets that were raining on them from all sides.

Iron took advantage of this gap. He quickly rushed forward to the 3rd guard post to check on his men. He felt relieved when he saw that there were no casualties among his men.

Perhaps this lucky outcome was because the battle had just started but he knew that the situation would have been dire if he was later by just a second. He saw that the giant snow rabbits were rushing in quickly and with the skills of his men, they would have definitely been overwhelmed by their numbers if he and the troops from above did not arrive in time.

Ppiiiiiiiiii―

Iron quickly stepped foot on the 3rd guard post. His gun never stopped firing amidst the continuous loud ringing of the emergency horn. He kept on firing to help the others who were desperately fighting against the snow rabbits.

However, their bullets and bullet reserves started to get exhausted. Even the bullets that Iron had with him were disappearing quickly.

“Everyone! Prepare for close combat!”

The corporals quickly wielded their swords and spears after hearing Iron’s shouts.

All of the weapons that they carried had been processed with mana so they were weapons that could kill the monsters a bit easier compared to just firing magic bullets. Although the magic bullets were useful in battle for their long range, they were not efficient in terms of killing monsters. Magic bullets did not have enough penetrative power to dig through the monsters’ thick skin and mana strengthened bodies. Because of this, they were harder to use during battles like this. The giant snow rabbits were a prime example of this. Despite being hit by countless magic bullets, they were still able to jump up and run around to cause havoc. Because of this, rifles were only often used to keep the monsters in check.

“Private first classes, keep the giant snow rabbits in check with your rifles and make sure that they don’t get too close!”

Iron shouted loudly over the chaotic sounds of battle. The private first classes and the corporals understood what he wanted to do. They cocked their rifles up and immediately fired to block the snow rabbits from coming too close to the guard post.

Iron nodded his head when he saw that the soldiers immediately created a defensive circle around the guard post. He smiled in satisfaction when he saw Sean fighting fiercely and preventing casualties among their ranks. Perhaps, it was because Sean had been working hard so there were no casualties in their ranks.

Seeing that his men were fighting well, Iron lifted his sword as he pumped mana into his legs.

Dash!

Iron lightly kicked the ground as he dashed in front of a giant snow rabbit. He swung his sword down as soon as he approached a target. When his blue mana tainted sword fell down, the giant snow rabbit’s neck fell down together with it.
