Perfected Tempest

44. Choosing My Escorts

                          Noble's POV

After we were ordered to take care of a small army of people we asked the dragons to take us there at a high altitude. The fall would do nothing to us since we all had mjolnir armor on. Sir Rimuru made it for all of us along with fixing my original one. It is said to be at the legendary rank and the others are still at unique rank. After getting high enough and getting a look at the camp from above we made our plan.

Noble- "Alright Ikta (Solork) you will stay up high and provide air support with the dragons. Help thin out the groups. Fluffy I want you in the forest line on the south side helping to pin them down. Fluffy you will be on the east side doing the same. Me and Cat will be helping Fluffy until we can see an opportunity to go destroy the crystal together. Understood?"

Ikta- "Aren't we outnumbered sir?"

Ikta is an average looking man whose lazy attitude often gets in the way of him improving himself. He is however highly intelligent and able to come up with sound strategy's. If he notices something it's likely important. However the intel from our leader is solid so we have no need to doubt it.

Noble- "It wouldn't be a noble mission if it were easy Ikta. Besides they have no way of damaging your armor. Now is everyone ready?"

Everyone- "Sir yes sir."

Noble- "Begin the operation."

After that we all dropped in from above except Ikta who stayed up high. When we landed we would use the dust to cover us until we dug in a defensive position. Then we'd begin the attack. While we were falling down unfortunately a few knights saw us.

Knights- "E-enemy's spotted. Prepare for an attack. It's from above."

We then landed and began the plan. It went well for the whole thing and eventually we were preparing to go destroy the crystal. Before When I asked our leader what would likely work to destroy the crystal he said a grenade wouldn't be enough. So over chosen to use my fists instead. It's risk so we decided to reduce the numbers first before going in further. Luckily the dragon support fire seemed to be doing better than expected. Since by the time we planned to charge in the enemies had all already been taken out. Either way some still survived by staying close to the crystal and continued to defend it. So we decided to ask for surrenders if possible. So we all walked up with the dragons hovering nearby to help convince them of their choice. Once I got close enough I asked me piece.

Noble- "Surrender knights or join your friends along with that crystal behind you."

Knight commander- "We will not show these heretics any mercy. Don't believe them for a second, for our goddess Luminous demands all monsters and their co conspirators are removed from this world. Hold firm there are only a handful of them left."

So they have chosen to die fighting have they. I can respect that choice. I'm running out of time so I'll oblige them. It's unfortunate I couldn't capture anyone and gain any good intel like I wished to.

Noble- "Very well then. Finish them."

After saying that the rest of the team put them out of their misery. I then went and destroyed the crystal with my fists. It didn't take as much as I thought it would but it was destroyed at least.

Noble- "Mission complete let's pack up and head home."

Fluffy- "Great I can't wait to go to the bar and have some drinks."

Fluffy is a husky tan man who often is on point in the team. He loves jokes and often gets himself in trouble. Done call him fat but he's actually just really muscular in his waist. Or as he calls it, "I'm not fat I'm fluffy." Apparently he heard a comedian say it and says the same thing ever since.
