E - Rank Hero In Another World
Chapter 96.5 - Fort Wood

Feris and his remaining troops immediately made their way back towards Eastfort.

The flames that engulfed the entire forest could be clearly seen under the moonlight. Even though it was night, the troops led by Feris did not rest at all.

"I don't care how tired you are, but if you still want to live, keep moving." Shouted Feris in a flat tone towards the row of archers.

The words of Feris are not without basis.

But since some of the troops were on foot, their movements were much slower compared to riding a horse.

Moreover, the flames in the forest would not hold back the demon army forever. And if you look from the sky....

'Why should it be cloudy at this time? It seems that the world is not so on the side of humanity.' Thought Feris in his heart.

If the fire in the forest was extinguished, then such a large army of demons could pass through it easily. And the big chance, they'll send another wolf rider to hunt down Feris and his army.

"Well.... How far away...."

"I can't walk anymore...."

"Is there really no rest?"

Complaints were heard among the soldiers. Feris and the commander of the army began to notice. But they can't do much.

"Miss Feris, I think this is bad enough to force them." Whisper the commander.

"I knew. But how else? Anyway, we'll be there soon." Reply Ferris.

"Until?"

The commander's question was not answered at all. But after continuing the journey, he finally found out the answer.

On a hill, right in front of them, there was a lot of light coming from the torch of fire as well as thousands of tents.

All of it was the tent of the troops who became the second ambush after Feris finished his plan.

"Miss Ferris, this is it...." Ask the commander with wide-open eyes.

"Everything! We'll take turns there soon! Strengthen your legs! This is the last trip for this mission!" Shouted Ferris loudly.

"Yahooooohh!"

"Finally!"

"We're free!"

On the other hand, Feris is seen walking towards a reddish-haired man with a dark red-colored armor. He's none other than Alex, one of the heroes.

"You don't usually have such a gloomy face, Ferris." Greet Alex while making a pretty wide smile.

"Is that so? Well, I don't really care about my face. Rather than that trivial thing, what about your preparations?" Ask Fris back.

"I brought 5,000 soldiers. Traps have also been made, and everything is ready. You and your men can rest tonight and come back with us tomorrow or the day after." Reply Alex who now has a pretty serious face.

"Thank you. I think I'm gonna cool my head down a little bit."

With that reply, Feris immediately went and followed one of the soldiers. He escorted her to a tent that was prepared for Feris. While the other soldiers immediately lined up neatly and followed the commander's direction.

......***......

A few hours passed.

When Feris and his entire army were resting, it was Alex and his army at work.

At the highest part of the hill, as well as the front of the wooden fort, Alex was standing quietly watching the line of Devils.

The torch they brought to light up the darkness tonight looks so bright. Because there are so many of them.

"You nervous?" Ask Amelia.

"No, it's just.... Aren't they too many?" Alex asked as he pointed towards the demon line.

Previously, he had indeed collected and obtained information that the number might reach around 80,000 more.

But right now, even after receiving a surprise attack from Feris's forces, Alex saw that the number of demon troops was still too much.

Calculating it manually is impossible. But if you estimate it, Alex is very confident that their number is more than 80,000 at the moment.

The worst thing that can happen right now is pessimism. And Amelia was trying to prevent that from happening.

"Maybe you're right." Reply Alex while giving a thin smile.

After a while, Alex immediately took a deep breath before shouting out loudly.

"Everything! Get ready in position! Balista and thrower squads! Lure them!"

Unlike the troops led by Feris before. This time, as an aid, Feris let Alex lead Feris' own upbringing in Eastfort.

The difference is like heaven and earth.

Without a doubt. Without any mistakes. And without much commotion.

After hearing Alex's scream, some of the people standing on top of the wooden tower waved flags according to his code. With a stock of 4 fire torches that are bright enough, they became the center of attention of the entire army.

For this situation, they raised a red flag and a black roundabout in the middle.

In an instant, all the troops behind the wooden fortress immediately responded according to the code he saw.

Hundreds of people appear to have started putting large rocks on the catapult. And a few more were seen preparing balistas.

Once everything is ready, they don't shoot immediately. Except waiting for the next command.

The flag raiser immediately put down his previous flag. Looking forward to the next words from Alex. After a while....

'Sat!'

Alex swung his arm strongly.

"Foot!"

At the same time, the raiser began to raise the previous flag as high as possible. At that very instant, all the soldiers fired those heavy weapons simultaneously.

'Swuuusshhh!!!'

Dozens of giant arrows immediately shot out in the middle of the night. It stabbed right into the direction of the biggest and strongest enemy, the Troll.

Even without orders, they have understood which targets to prioritize. What's more, the shots were completely accurate.

'Jleeebbbb!!!'

The giant arrow quickly pierced through the chest of the Troll. Killed him instantly and made his body that was more than 5 meters high fall to the ground. Overwrite all the demons beneath him.

Not long after, the huge stone that was thrown together with the Balista had also arrived.

Or rather....

Hundreds of stones as big as a human head. And all of it becomes a very deadly rain for any army line.

'Blaaarr! Blaar!! Blaarr!!!'

Thousands of demons died instantly in just one wave of the attack. Alex who saw it can only gap as if in disbelief.

"Govern next, sir." Said a Knight kneeling behind Alex.

"Well.... Yep. Hold that boulder until the devil starts climbing this hill. After that, take it all off and let the big rock grind it all out." Reply Alex a little nervously.

After all, he was not a figure accustomed to leading a large army. But a knight who carries out a mission to sneak into the demon territory.

Even so, his figure which is one of the 8 heroes is undeniable. Even with just its existence, and the existence of Amelia here, has made the morale and fighting spirit of the troops increase drastically.

Understand Alex's flaws in this....

"I'm sorry for my indecision, Mr. Alex. But allow me to take over from here." Reply to the Knight with a sharp look without the slightest hint of diminishing his respect.

"Te-of course! Go ahead...." Reply Alex briefly.

In the end, this battle on the hill continued with the absolute victory of mankind.

They rained down on the demons with arrows and stones and fire. Not only that, the human army also rolled giant fiery rocks from the top of the hill that at least swept away many demon troops.

After obtaining satisfactory results, the Eastfort troops withdrew in the early hours. Take safe steps not to obtain a single casualty.
