New Life as the Kingdom's Youngest Son
elf
the outpost has a high fortress inside the fort there are many tents from the soldiers who stopped there but now the outpost was attacked by monsters, they shoot acid from their telson (like a scorpion's tail), trying to destroy the fortress.
The soldiers did not he they fired magic bullets and shot their arrows towards the creature "how can there be a swarm here !" shouted one of the soldiers while shooting at the creature.
Their number is almost 900 while the outpost has 500, the outpost is notoriously peaceful so the number of soldiers there is very little.
"we can't let this fortress collapse!, come with me we have to face them head-on" said one soldier as he drew his sword and the others began to follow him.
Close combat ensued and it was a terrible fight the monsters attacked ferociously, the monster had a shape like a scorpion but with 2 pairs of claws in appeal 1, the monster has a shape like a scorpion but with 2 pairs of claws in 1, his armor was like a hard-to-break stone some managed to pierce through his armor with the help of magic yet it was not enough they were too strong.
the soldiers did not run out of their wits making a formation of sticks to hold them, the mostranked ones were directly pierced by them but this was less effective as the monsters could fire acidic liquids.
One by one the victims fell due to the acidic liquid or were torn apart by the monster, the ground there had felt a bloodbath.
In the end they were cornered and had to re-enter the fortress with the creature digging towards them through the fortress "come us"
"quiet reinforcements will come" said one of the soldiers trying to motivate the colleague "but... What does the nearest city have ?"
When hope began to fade a rain of arrows rained down on the creature, it, the tip of the arrow utu was very sharp and heavy making the brand easily penetrate the armor of the monsters some of them did not die but stuck to the ground because the arrows pierced through their tubh and plunge into their ground like wood on a nail to a wall.
The calvry troops were seen starting to blind the fortress and kill all the monsters with special spears, the spears exploded upon impact, the calvaries moved away and began to perform a manufer where they also replaced their spears that had exploded and started to clean up the remaining ones.
Some monsters who saw the number on the broom were exhausted by the calvary began to flee but they were chased by the calvary until it ran out.
The people who were in the outpost could only hear the sound of explosions from outside the fortress along with the sound of the horse running "who are they ?" said one of them look tabjuk someone then came to the entrance of the fort carrying the flag belonging to the family Aldric si back, see this people inside directly open the cage.
"i came on the orders of Mr. Aldric here to help you... What about your situation ?" leier asked firmly, one of the soldiers came to his knees he used the same armor as the other soldiers but there was a red ribbon tied in his right hand.
"report to my master in charge here, many of us were injured and this outpost almost collapsed, if not for the help of our master it would be over, thank you !" leier and get off his horse "good job you all managed to hold this fort"
A beautiful female elf with 4 elite elf soldiers surrounding her came out from the main tent of the leier who saw this directly asking "may I know who you are ?"
"my name is Miriel.... I am the princess of Arrely country" hearing that Leier immediately knelt "apologize for my ignorance mistress Miriel"
Miriel shook her head "no, no is this the first time I'm out of my territory" leier began to stand up "if you may know what the purpose of your coming here is ?"
"i am about to meet the king of the land of Solantia (this country) we will-" one of the elite troops of the country Arrely stopped Miriel's speech "I'm sorry princess isn't this supposed to be a political secret ?"
"ah!, yes I'm sorry I forgot" leier nodded "i have no problem with this ignorance" leier looked around in the fortress and saw no chariot of Arrely's kingdom and also saw a small number of leier's troops "it looks like you were attacked when you came here"
Miriel nodded "yes that's right..." Miriel looks sad to remember the incident, the other troops have come to follow and began to execute the monster dying "the remains of my troops have come, if you please I want to take you to a safe location, from there the army directly from the kingdom will pick you up"
Miriel, who saw the number of troops and the tools of her transformation left behind, could not resist, but before they go, they repair the damage to the fort and heal the wounded with magic before leaving behind food, medical supplies and additional weapons for them.
Leier quietly went to approach the person in charge of the outpost "listen to me there is something strange about this monster, they are only found in the desert right ?"
"i also understand there is something awkward here" leier nodded "staying wary of the possibility of them targeting the daughter of Arrely or this outpost, give this information also to other outposts to keep watch"
"get ready sir" said the soldier before he went to the information rauang and sent the bird to another post.
Miriel was given a horse to ride, people with shields around her were the same as her elite army of leier walked in front.
"master... Generals... May I know your name ?" leier looked over at the strip "ah. I'm sorry I haven't mentioned my name, my name is Miriel"
Leier kept silent for a while looking for the correct word "can I say yes he trained me" Miriel was even more surprised "trained ?!" leier looked at the dagger towards Miriel "is there a mistress problem ?"
Miriel shook her head "no I was just shocked... Didn't expect him to train someone like you"
"i'm honored for your praise, it's true that I was trained directly by him" Miriel began to wonder "what training did he give you ?"
"apologize but I can't divulge it, the thing I can say is that it's hard practice" Miriel understood that.
"noming speaking of the princess... Is anyone following you ?" Miriel looks confused "what do you mean ?"
"the monsters that attack your entourage and outpost can only be found in the desert" Miriel looks surprised "but the nearest desert takes 2 weeks to come"
Leier nodded "right, meaning someone called the monster to hurt you, whoever he is he does not want you to get to the capital of Solantia, maybe to advocate war or any grudge against your family I don't know"
Miriel now looks worried "don't be afraid my daughter will guarantee your safety" a hitak magic projectile shot towards Miriel's head but it was blocked using a mini barrier by one of the witches.
Miriel saw the syock she almost died, leier who saw this immediately shouted "up the barrier!, quickly raise it !" barrier was up to cover the entire team, another projectile shot towards Miriel seemed to be more than 10 people because the shots were very fast in addition to the distance of the enemy so far.
the rombing soldiers also directly raised their shields adding protection to Miriel, leier who saw their position thought for a moment "bust turtle formation, let's go"
With the barrier still protecting them, they began to slowly walk away "what are you doing?, what if the barrier breaks because we're moving ?"
"this is a turtle barrier formation will not be destroyed we move slowly in addition to that if we stay still we will be easy targets" Miriel nodded he can only believe it.
Several crossbowmen filled their weapons and began to approach the edge, their armors looking like their usual troops noticed where the shots were coming from, since they were shooting continuously the crossbowmen instantly knew where the shooter was "on that hill, it was likely that they were laying down and using blur magic" whispered to each other among the soldiers.
The crossbowmen then began to outer their weapons with magic making their crossbows glow blue, they ran out of the barrier and kneeled down while aiming and shooting at the same time the arrows that shot bright blue with high speed and a long distance.
20 Crossbowman shot into the hill, they were immediately countered with 3 shots of magic, this time not lead Miriel instead I do not know where they are headed, maybe they panic.
The crossbowmen go straight back into the barrier for refill before they re-shoot, each of them in and out of the barrier swaying like a water bubble, if too much movement maybe it will break, that was the reason they went in and out and also why the archers didn't shoot from inside the barrier.
After firing back at each other long enough the shooter stopped and things started to get quieter "mister should we lower the barrier ?"
"don't wait until we get to the blind spot of the hill and then we lower the barrier" the witch nodded and still broke the barrier with 4 other "good" witches"
They also entered a safer forest area but to keep the shield still up, Leier signaled his calvary to go somewhere, they started running into the forest area.
"are we still far away ?" leier shook his head "we're not far, right in front of us is a town in the oimoin of Mr. Aldric" Miriel was relieved he began to breathe calmly "sure the goddess Victoria still protects me"
Miriel then looked towards the magician who protected her from the first attack "thank you that you were addressing me"
The magician looked nervous "ah. i-iya besides this is my job" Miriel grabbed onto her pocket and gave a red crystal "just think of it as a thank you" the witch accepted it, she said, it was a small fire crystal, it would probably be useful in the future.
His colleagues who saw this were clearly envious of being rewarded by a beautiful woman plus the woman was a "hey princess... How we duel when it has been a long time we do not duel" said one of his colleagues.
"ah jya I also don't remember the last time we had a duel" said another colleague "ah.. You guys are just jealous right?, because of my achievements ? Haha"
"fuck if I knew there was a magician I would also raise my shield immediately" said the fellow, well they got into a fight but decided to keep it until they returned.
