I never imagined that I would see this kind of scene with my own eyes. I had only ever seen such in war movies and cartoons.

What was more unrealistic than that was the presence of monsters constantly running towards the wall.

"Ah uh uh uh uh!"

'There are so many of them...'

I didn't go hunting a lot, but the ones I saw for the first time definitely stood out. These were medium-sized monsters, which were about five times larger than humans, to small monsters that were continuously being stepped on by the bigger ones.

The monsters may each have their own purpose and size, but the ones with only one purpose of crossing the walls certainly felt terrifying.

As they stood there, magic and arrows began to fall upon them.

There was a momentary yet loud roar.

Kaw-ahhh!

Kwajiik!

Kaduuuk!

An explosive sound was heard, and debris spread to the ground in all directions. The small monsters quickly got caught in the fire.

Arrows were embedded in the whole body of medium-sized monsters, and thus, they fell. Arrows with magical power on each one of them were steadily blowing the heads of the small monsters.

However, the number of monsters in the crowd was more than I had first imagined. It was ridiculous to see that they all protruded from the forest side.

'Where are they coming from?'

It was clear that even the monsters residing within the deepest forest also popped out. As the forest was so large, their numbers would also, no doubt.

"Launch!"

When I went to speak once more, the secondary bombardment hit the ground from the wall. Once again, the same thing happened.

The monsters that ran towards us got knocked down, and the others tripped over the already fallen bodies. When I raised my hand, the wizards who specialized in handling the earth's properties cast their spells, and spears made of soil and rocks started to pop out from the ground.

The rest of the screaming mob got pierced by the spears.

'Good.'

Though it didn't show off very much, it proved to be quite effective in clearing up the monsters' forefront with a minimum attack.

'It's barely noticeable.'

The only thing we could do here was to use our arrows and magic efficiently. I thought about at least getting the experience by chanting spells, but I gave up on this thought immediately.

To efficiently take care of this large event prepared by the returner, it would be good to leave the common-grade monsters or rare-grade monsters to the unimportant people.

'I have to save up my magic power in case of a formidable enemy later on.'

"It was easy."

"Really?"

"Yes, honey. This is a good start. It is impressive that you put the brakes with earth magic. There are not many flying monsters in Castle Rock, so if you keep blocking and defending the entrance, it'll be easier in the long run."

"That's good news."

"I'm just saying this, but you'd better save your magic power. Opportunities like this are rare."

"I know."

I could see the reality here; the guys who had more power were taking more than those who didn't. Unlike those under orders, setting rare-grade and common-grade monsters, who didn't want to die, on fire, those who could be classified as commanders were saving their magic power and stamina for later.
