17 - CHAPTER XVII Hawk Eye

Back

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　As we proceeded through the dungeon and battle after battle, one of the white army troops made a suggestion.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Instead of deploying in a horizontal line, he suggested that we deploy in a V-shape, with both wings raised.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　We would place Monica (Archer) at the bottom of the V-shape to keep her far away from the enemy, and if the enemy came into the V-shape, we would pincer them from both wings.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　If the enemy enters into the V-shape, you should fire from both wings. This way, you can check the enemy entering into the center, and the shooting time of Monica (archer) will be longer than when she is in a horizontal line.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Roland, who wanted to extend Monica's "bow shooting" skills as much as possible, immediately adopted this idea.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Ten goblins appeared shortly thereafter.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　As indicated, the troops formed a V-shape formation with both wings advancing and the center concave, in essence a crane-wing formation.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Seeing this, the goblins, however low in intelligence, hesitated to rush into a quicksand.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　If they jumped into the center poorly, they would be surrounded by both wings.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　But that was just what Roland and his men wanted.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The goblins who stopped were easy prey for Monica.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　In the blink of an eye, the goblins were felled by bows and arrows.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The goblins rushed to attack the tips of both wings.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　However, both wings repeatedly retreated after stacking their swords appropriately.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Then Monica's bow and arrows were hurled at them.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　In the end, all ten goblins were hit by arrows.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The white army unit finished the battle by simply putting the finishing touches on the goblins that had been shot and left for dead.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Roland decided to adopt this as one of the ideal forms.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

(If we are too lazy, we won't make it in time. (The formation of the troops would be decided as they proceeded.)

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　When Roland appraised Monica's skills, her bow shooting was up to a C.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　After the battle was over, Loran pulled the arrows that Monica had shot out of the monster's corpse and retrieved those that were still usable.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　In this regard, too, Loran was thorough in not allowing her to do anything other than shoot.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Monica, looking a little funny, accepts Roland's recovered arrows.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

(Really weird guy. I can't believe you went to this much trouble for me.)

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Mr. Roland. Come here for a moment."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　A member of the white army called out for Roland.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Apparently, some of the men had suffered significant wear and tear on their equipment in the battle that had just taken place.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Roland rushed over to the worn-out man and checked his condition.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Currently, Roland and his team's unit composition is as follows.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　30 men in all.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Monica (archer), Shakuma (support mage), Yuffine (healer), 20 white soldiers (5 of them as shields), 3 archers (archers), and an attack magician. 3 people.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Roland, with his low status, led the troops with light equipment, wearing only the minimum amount of protective gear.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The overburdened white army was divided into two groups of ten men each, with the vanguard and the rear guard taking turns at the end of each battle.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　While Roland was checking on the condition of the white army troops, Monica decided to check on the condition of her own equipment.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Without an arrow attached, she pulled the string and heard the "iron-breaking bow" creak.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　It was only minor wear and tear.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Monica let out a sigh.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

（I've already shot more than a hundred arrows," she said.　(Is the stone getting rattled?)

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　It had been almost 24 hours since the unit had entered the dungeon.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The dungeon itself did not distinguish between day and night, so as long as their stamina lasted, they could go all day without getting drowsy, but they could not prevent their weapons from wearing out.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　When Monica tried to consult with Roland, he realized his intentions without any need for her to speak and handed her the "Earthcraft".

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Use this."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

What? Are you sure?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Monica glanced at the troop.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　There were members of the troop who were far more depleted of their weapons than she was.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

The "Guardians of the Magical Tree" had close ties to the Medicine Guild, so they could get any number of potions to restore stamina for free, but items like "Earthcraft" that were produced from minerals were supposed to be valuable.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

But now, the top priority is to develop your 'bow-shooting' skill."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

...... yes."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

(Is it okay? I've gotten so much special treatment.)

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Monica had never been trained intensively like this, so she felt itchy to be treated like an ace, which she was still not used to, and used "Earthcraft" with trepidation.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　After making sure she was fully equipped, Roland reorganized the troops, moving those who had been lost in the white army to the rear guard, and proceeded through the dungeon again.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Meanwhile, Roland was carefully observing Monica to determine when to put pressure on her.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　In this short time, he had discerned that while she was serious, she also had a skeptical, low self-esteem side.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

(Eventually, he would put pressure on her. (I will pressure her eventually, but not now. (I'll put pressure on her eventually, but it's not now, and I'll have to be very careful about the timing.)

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Roland decided to continue observing her for a while now.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The troops continued to refine their battle formation and advanced through the dungeon at a breakneck pace.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　In the meantime, the group arrived at the first transition base.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　This base of operations is a sacred corner of the temple where monsters do not appear, and is located at each level of the dungeon.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Adventurers can use items to create a magic circle in this area.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　By entering this magic circle, adventurers can advance to the next level of the hierarchy.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Roland and his team proceeded to the second level by diving through the transfer magic circle.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　A wide variety of monsters appeared on the second level, and the equipment worn by the monsters was far better equipped than on the first level.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　As Roland and his team advanced through the forest, they soon encountered a group of monsters.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The pack consisted of five armed goblins (hobgoblins), four large-clawed wolves (crow wolves), and a sharp-beaked pigeon (beak pigeon).

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Roland's troops, nervous and braced against a different enemy than before, deployed in a V-shape formation.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The four highly agile, large-clawed wolves (Crow Wolves) immediately split to the left and right, trying to flank the flanks.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Without hesitation, Monica ignored the wolves on her flanks and fired an arrow at the armed goblins (hobgoblins) in front of her.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

The "iron-breaking bow" pierced through the goblins' iron armor and inflicted damage.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Monica stepped back and shot them down, then resumed shooting at the goblins.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Monica felt a flurry of white troops moving on both sides.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Monica thought that Roland was probably dealing with both wings of the battle line vertically to prevent the large clawed wolves (Crow Wolves) from getting around him.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　At this point, Monica's trust in Roland was growing.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

(I only have to keep shooting at the enemy in front of me. Roland will take care of the rest.)

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　She continued to fire at the enemy in front.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　On the flanks, Roland was successfully dealing with a large clawed wolf (Crow Wolf), just as Monica had imagined.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　He brought in rear replacement personnel to extend the line of fire vertically and horizontally to prevent the flanks from being flanked.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Roland was directing the troops while observing Monica, who continued to fire at the center of the line.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

(I'm getting much better at concentrating on shooting.)

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Monica was about to fire an arrow at the last of the armed goblins (hobgoblins) when she noticed a spot of light on the body of one of the armed goblins (hobgoblins).

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

(What?　(That light is ......)

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Monica squints suspiciously and shoots an arrow toward the point of light.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The arrow hit the point of light beautifully.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Then the body of the armed goblin (hobgoblin) explodes.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Monica was startled.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

What?　What?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

It's the skill 'one-hit-kill.'

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Roland, who had somehow come to her side, explained.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Apparently, she had finished dealing with the big clawed wolf (Crow Wolf).

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Is it a 'one-hit kill'......?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

It's a skill that can kill an enemy with a single blow if the attack hits a vital spot."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

(The enemy's vital point. Then those dots of light floating on the goblin's body just now were the enemy's kryptonite.)

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

It seems that as your 'bow shooting' skills improved, your 'one-hit-kill' skills naturally blossomed as well.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Roland appraises her skills.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　She already has a B in "bow shooting" and a C in "one-hit kill.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

(With this, there may be no problem to go to the next level. She is now at the stage of using her unique skill "Hawk Eye").

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Roland and his team easily devised a strategy for the second level's difficult enemies, the large-clawed wolf (Crow Wolf) and the armed imp (Hobgoblin), and continued to progress through the second level dungeon without difficulty, eventually reaching the transition base. They proceeded to the third level.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The third level was a dungeon of ruins spread out in the forest.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　It was densely packed with stone houses and structures that seemed to have been inhabited by ancient humans.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Ivy and tree roots crawled around every building.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　It was a ruined civilization destined to be swallowed up by the forest eventually.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　But for monsters, it was the perfect place to wait for humans.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

(Ugh. At last we have come to it. The stage of ruins. (I'm not good at this.)

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Monica anxiously puts her hand on her chest.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Even though the civilization had already been destroyed, its buildings were still standing.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Some of the buildings contained large spaces, and in such buildings, cliques of monsters lived in groups, and when they went hunting, they acted in large groups, so the number of monsters encountered in a single battle was incomparably greater than in the previous two levels.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　In addition, the buildings were often densely packed together, and the roads between them were incomparably narrower than the open land they had just occupied, with only four or five people able to move forward in a single file.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　In addition, towers, bell towers, and other high-rise buildings could be seen here and there, and aerial corridors bridged the space between buildings.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Because of this complex mixture of three-dimensional buildings, there were countless points of fire from high places, and troops had to explore the dungeon while exposing themselves to shots from high places.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Therefore, archers were required to take advantageous shooting positions before the enemy.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　If the enemy took an advantageous shooting position and shot at them unilaterally, the troops would be exhausted, and one wrong move would result in their destruction.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　In short, this stage was a devil's gate for Monica.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

(I always end up dragging everyone down here, don't I?)

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Monica was getting dizzy just looking at the buildings of the ruins and the narrow path between them.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

(I think you should give up trying to ace me now. What are you going to do, Mr. Roland?)

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　She looks at Roland as if to say, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Roland smiles gently at Monica.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Don't worry, Monica. I've thought of a countermeasure."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Really?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Oh, Monica. I'm going to use the skill 'Hawk-Eye' from here."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Is it 'Hawkeye' ......?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Monica is a bit of a kook.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　She has no idea that she has such a skill.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Roland chuckled.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　No wonder she didn't know.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Unique skills can only be found by an S-class appraiser.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Monica. Hawk Eye' is a skill that allows you to look at the dungeon from a bird's eye view, as if you were looking down on the stage from above. Have you ever had that experience of being able to look down on yourself from above?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Yes," he said. You can get that perspective if you stop blinking and unfocus your eyes. ...... But what does that matter?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Roland almost chuckles again.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　It was often the case that an act or ability that one performed thinking it was nothing was a tremendous skill.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

So, let's try activating the Hawk Eye anyway.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Yes, sir.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Monica stopped blinking and unfocused her eyes.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Her eyes begin to glow gold.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　A viewpoint spread out before her, looking down on her from directly above, as if she had switched the camera in a game.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　She now had a bird's eye view of herself, the members of her unit, the buildings and the road, like an aerial photograph.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Monica. Can you hear me?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"...... yes."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Then keep going, shift your viewpoint to the ruins.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Psst."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Monica shifted her viewpoint with a slightly pained frown.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　This was the first time she had consciously shifted her perspective in this way.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I never thought I would be able to do this.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Which is the tallest building in the area?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

...... that building.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Let's say the enemy was on the top floor of that building. "Now, let's say the enemy is on the top floor of that building, and they are targeting troops passing that way through the windows. What position would you be in that would allow you to attack the enemy?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Let's see. ......

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

You know the range of the 'iron-breaking bow,' don't you?　You should be back to your senses as a bowman (archer). Working backwards from the enemy's position, and taking into account the change in range due to shields and height differences, from where can you fire at the enemy?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Monica shakily points to a building.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

...... right over there."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I'll be right back," he said. Okay. You can deactivate Hawkeye."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

......

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Monica crumples to her knees.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　She puts her hand to her forehead to keep the headache at bay.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

She asks, "Are you okay?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Roland hands Monica a potion.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

'Excuse me. Thank you."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

That's good enough. This is fast enough for real-world use."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Are you going to use this ...... in a real battle?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

If you are attacked from a height by the enemy, you must, at all costs, step back and activate your 'hawk eye. Then you take out the enemy firing squad."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Roland selected two of the best men from the white army unit and assigned them to escort her.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The troops were reorganized and proceeded through the dungeon of the ruins.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Monica was anxiously making her way through the ruins.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

(Are we really going to be okay? I can't believe we're relying on these skills to go through the stages of the ruins. ......)

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The unit was still advancing through the stage of the ruins, led by Monica and the shieldmen on either side of her.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Suddenly, an arrow hit the helmet of the warrior shieldman next to Monica.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The man who was hit cowered, holding his head.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

（Here he comes. A preemptive attack from the enemy!)

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Tension ran through Monica.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Tension ran through the unit as well.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Monica looks in the direction the arrow came from.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　She sees armed goblins (hobgoblins) with bows and arrows high up in the building.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

'To the left. Bow and arrow squads and shield squads, deploy to the left!"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Roland shouts, and all the bowmen (archers) except Monica deploy with the shield squad to the left of the troop.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　At the same time, a mixed unit of wolves with large claws (Crow Wolves) and armed goblins (Hobgoblins) appear from the front end and attack.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The archers fired their bows and arrows at the enemy archers' troops to check them.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The armed goblins (hobgoblins) hid behind a building to avoid the arrows, and then fired again.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The shield squads held up their large shields in the air, but they could not block all the arrows, and some of them were hit.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The white troops hit the enemy in front of them.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The enemy suddenly appeared at the end of the road, so Monica had to fall back before she had time to fire her bow and arrow, and the white army was also lagging behind because the shield unit, which normally protects the enemy's first attack, was deployed on the left and the enemy took the high ground and rained down bows and arrows.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　This was the first time Roland's unit had fallen into a difficult situation during the search.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Under attack from the enemy, the unit was forced to retreat backwards.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Monica. It's 'Hawkeye. Follow the instructions I just gave you.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Yes, sir.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Monica activates her "Hawk Eye" and takes a bird's eye view of her surroundings.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

(The position from which she can snipe both the enemy bow and arrow troops and the white army troops is ....... There it is!)

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Monica's "Hawk Eye" captured the perfect position.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　She was in a position higher than the enemy archers, out of reach of their arrows, and within range of her "iron-breaking bow".

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Monica, with two or three guards, bypassed the enemy-free area and ran to the target building.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The others patiently withstood the enemy fire until Monica was in position.

　Since the enemy's bows were not as powerful as the "iron-breaking bows," the arrows did not pierce armor or helmets, but if they still hit, the armor and helmets would be damaged and dented, and the impact would be a blow that would cause damage to the body.

　Although the white army was outnumbered, they could not take advantage of their numerical superiority because the battlefield was unfortunately a narrow path, and only five men at most were allowed in the vanguard.

　The white army units managed to maintain the front line by replacing the vanguard members whenever they were wounded (when a vanguard member fainted, the rear members had to drag him back to take his place), but unfortunately, the enemy, who could take advantage of the covering fire, had the advantage and kept pushing us all the way.

　Within a few dozen minutes, the troops were visibly buoyed up.

　However, if they withdrew at this point, everything would go up in smoke.

　Roland tried to inspire his troops to somehow hold the line.

　As the troops began to show signs of fatigue and there were no more uninjured soldiers left, it looked as if the battle was finally over when an enemy bowman screamed.

　Monica fired an arrow from a higher vantage point than the enemy.

　The situation was reversed.

　The enemy archers were now being shot at from below and above, from the front and flanks, and from both sides, with nowhere to hide and no way out.

　Monica wiped out the enemy archers with "bow fire" and "one-hit-kill," and now she fired a volley of arrows at their white army.

　The enemy is visibly dismayed, floats away, and begins to flee.

　The longer they stayed where they were, the more they fell prey to Monica's "iron-breaking bow" and "one-hit-kill".

　On the contrary, Roland's white army suddenly began to gain momentum.

　Warriors, who had been reluctant to fight until then, regained their courage and joyously slashed at their enemies.

　Finally, the monster unit, unable to hold out any longer, turned its back on Roland and his men and began to flee in defeat.

　Roland and his men attacked the monster troop from behind with their swords, and when their swords could no longer reach them, the archers shot arrows to kill the enemy, and after a scattered chase, they annihilated the enemy.

　Monica was the first bowman (archer) to successfully provide covering fire.

　After collecting the loot, Roland joins Monica.

She says, "Well done. Monica. Now that's how to use the Hawk-Eye. Even if the enemy makes the first move, you secure an advantageous position and win in the end. This is how your unit fights.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Yes, sir.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

(This will work. We can make Monica a class A archer. And even build a formation around her!)

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Roland looked convinced.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　After that, every time Roland and his team were attacked, they struck back using Monica's "Hawk-Eye".

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　After repeated attempts, the unit gained confidence, and Monica responded by activating "Hawk-Eye" as soon as the enemy attacked.

　The troops came to trust her to hold the line, and she never seemed to get carried away.

　At one point, when the unit reached a terrain of buildings, Monica stopped and had a hunch.

（There they are. There's an enemy up ahead!)

Monica?　What the hell is going on......"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Roland stopped talking as he was about to say it.

　He noticed that she had activated her Hawk-Eye.

(Monica. You didn't find the enemy, did you?)

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Mr. Roland. Ten minutes after I start running, take your troops along the road. The enemy will be ahead of you."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Monica pointed to the road ahead, said that much, and walked away without a sound.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Roland did as she instructed, pausing the troop's advance and beginning to advance ten minutes later.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Monica reached the firing point.

　An armed goblin (hobgoblin) could be seen.

　Armed with bows and arrows, they are waiting for the troops to pass through the bottleneck.

(They cannot see me over there. There is a view that only I can see. This is the power of the Hawk-Eye!

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Monica quietly nocked the arrow so that they could not hear even the squeak of the strings.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Armed with bows and arrows, the hobgoblins watched from above the building as the troop entered the bottleneck and laughed.

　From their point of view, Roland and his troop were summer insects that flew into the fire.

　The armed goblins (hobgoblins) took arrows to their bows and tried to take aim at the troop.

　But then an arrow pierced his head and his head exploded.

　The other armed goblins (hobgoblins) who were standing by were startled and looked in the direction of the arrow to see Monica holding up her "iron-breaking bow".

　The angry goblins fired arrows at her, but she was in a better position.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The goblins were wiped out without a trace.

　At the same time, a battle started in the narrow passage.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The monsters, expecting to be covered by the bow and arrow unit, were so upset that instead of arrows falling on the enemy, they were falling on themselves, and they collapsed easily.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

(Yes, we did it. We made it. We were able to get into a better position than the enemy before they attacked us first. ......)

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Monica joined Roland and the others, stunned at what she had done.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

'Well done, Monica.

Lo, Mr. Loran ......, I ......

Repeat that and you'll be a class A archer."

(Can I be ...... a class A archer (archer)?　(Really ......)

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Roland also observed her progress in Roland.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

(Sounds good to me. He read from the terrain that the enemy was waiting for her and made the first move. He applied "Hawk-Eye" to his fighting style. Moreover, she also used "Silent Run" at the same time. A combination of two skills for covert combat. Above all, this time she acted voluntarily without being instructed by anyone.)

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Roland looked at Monica, who was shivering with anxiety.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　She still couldn't believe what she had done.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

(Shall we turn up the pressure a gear?)

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　As Roland thought about this and was about to call out to Monica, she suddenly became dizzy and gagged.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Psst!"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Roland hurriedly grabbed her hand and held her shoulder for support.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Monica?　What's wrong?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I'm sorry. I'm a little dizzy.

　When Roland appraised her status, he found that her stamina was severely depleted.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

She was fine. She will recover soon with a potion.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Monica tried to drink the potion, but Roland stopped her.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Drinking potions could instantly restore stamina in any amount, allowing adventurers to stay active for hours or days, but drinking too much was bad for one's health.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　It simply causes water to build up in the stomach and intestines, making it impossible to fight properly.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　So after drinking a potion, it is better not to drink another one for a few hours.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Monica had just drank a potion.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Roland let out a sigh.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

(It's still too early to put pressure on her.)

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　If they are forced to do too much in a state lacking in stamina, it will lead to serious consequences.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

(After she is able to use "Hawk-Eye" continuously for one level. That's when we will put pressure on her.)

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Roland made that judgment.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Monica. That's it for once. You've done well. Get some rest."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Mr. Roland. But ......"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　At this juncture, I think I'm on to something.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Her eyes seemed to be appealing to me.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　She had been treated as a liability all her life, and this was her one chance to redeem herself.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Monica. This is an order. Rest."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

...... yes."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Roland said in a stern tone, and she withdrew with a sigh.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The time was right, as they had just found the transition gate and were nearing the end of the stage of the ruins.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Shakuma. You're up."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Roland said, looking back to the rear of the troop.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

'We've been waiting for you.'

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Shakuma, dressed as a support mage, leaps to the front of the unit, looking as if he can't wait to get started.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Until a few moments ago, Shakuma and Yuffine had been placed in the rear of the unit to keep them from participating in the battle.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Instead of Shakuma coming forward, Monika is lowered to the rear.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

From now on, we will proceed with you at the center of the troop."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Yes, sir. Let me show you the power of supportive magic to help your allies fight and hinder your enemies!
