The Grand Alliance had succeeded in breaking away from the territory of the "Grand Fafnir," but the next threat fell upon them.

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

The dragon tribe, inspired by the cries of the "Grand Fafnir," suddenly became active and attacked the Grand Alliance.

Ten 'Fire Dragons (Fafnir)' are coming from the right!

d*mn, not again.

One after the other.

Deploy the 'Shield of Firebombs' on the right flank!"

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

The "Guardians of the Academy" who still have enough durability of their "fire shields" deploy them on the right wing.

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

Chi. What are the members of the Alliance Guild doing? We are the only ones fighting, aren't we?

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

Calm down, Sei-chan. They can't stand up to the firepower of Fafnir.

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

Yea, you useless bastards!

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

　Nevertheless, the "Guardians of the Academy of Magic" were able to cope with the "Fafnir" and dispose of them one by one.

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

"Okay," said the "Guardians of the Academy of Magic. We can do it.

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

Don't be in a hurry. Finish them off one by one."

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

Just when the entire army was relaxed, thinking that the threat of "Fafnir" could be eliminated, arrows suddenly rained down on the left flank.

What is it?　What the hell is going on?"

Bow and arrow?　Why are they shooting at us?　No way. ......"

　A group of men with white wolf emblems on their shoulders emerges from behind a rock.

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

　It was the bow team of the "White Wolf" bandit guild.

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

That's the Thieves' Guild!

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

d*mn, at a time like this ......

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

The "Guardians of the Academy of Magic" have their hands full with the "Fire Dragon (Fafnir)". The allied guilds can handle this.

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

　Arul gave such instructions, but the morale of the allied guilds, whose rewards were still unclear, was low, and no one showed any willingness to avoid fighting as if to give in and drive away the "White Wolf" for the sake of the Grand Alliance.

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

　Thanks to the "White Wolf's" bow attack, his strength and equipment were slowly being drained away.

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

I'll go myself in this situation. Get out of the way!

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

　Thane took up his sword and shield and tried to fight, but his current degraded equipment and status did not allow him to break through the rain of arrows and slash at them.

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

　Rather, he takes an arrow in the shoulder.

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

Gugg!"

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

Captain!　Are you all right?"

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

I can't. Please stand back.

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

d*mn. If only I had the 'Dragoon's Baskets,' I could kick those bastards to the curb in an instant.

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

　Thane pulled himself free of an arrow lodged in his shoulder and slammed it into the ground in frustration.

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

　Jamil and Rodo, who were watching the battle from a slightly elevated position, sensed Sein's exhaustion.

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

Look at him," Jamil said. That son of a b*tc* is all worn out.

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

Appraise me."

Yeah.

How's it going?"

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

He can't shoot the Dragoon anymore.

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

"Oh."

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

Good. Move the White Guard forward. Don't be afraid of the dragon's head.

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

The attack by the "White Wolf" became more and more intense.

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

　The Grand Alliance was on the defensive, and one by one, they were taken prisoner.

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

　By the time the right wingers had finally cleared the "Fire Dragon (Fafnir)" and rushed to the left wing, the bandits had had enough and were quickly on their way out.

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

d*mn, they got away!

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

They sure are fast on the run, aren't they?

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

What do we do now?　Shall we pursue?"

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

The still energetic "Guardians of the Academy" showed Arul that they were ready to chase after the "White Wolf.

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

No, let's leave it at that. No, let's just let it go. We have to go back to the city first. However, if the "White Wolf" comes next time, we will ......

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

Deputy captain!"　Also, it's a herd of Fafnir.

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

d*mn it, not again."

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

　The Grand Alliance (in effect, the "Guardians of the Academy of Magic") were forced to deal with the "Fire Dragon (Fafnir)" again busily.

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

　And as if anticipating this, the "White Wolf" attacked again.

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

d*mn. Again.

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

Why does Fafnir attack so conveniently for the bandits?

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

(It sure is funny.)

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

　Arul also felt suspicious about the movement of Fafnir.

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

(Since a while ago, Fafnir has been attacking only us and never going toward the White Wolf. I don't think it is a coincidence. I don't think it's some kind of skill!)

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

Look," he said. They're going down the mountain along the river.

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

　Jamil said, pointing toward the river.

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

From the other side of the river, shower them with Fafnir's breath of fire.

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

Here they come."

　Rodo put his mouth on the horn and played a tone that only a dragon could hear.

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

　It was the skill "dragon flute.

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

　The "fire dragons (Fafnir)" that had been wandering in the sky received Rodo's message and flipped their wings.

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

　Immediately, shouts and screams echoed from the place where the "Guardians of the Academy of Magic" were located.

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

The "Guardians of the Academy of Magic" were soon heard yelling and screaming from where they were. Success!

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

Kukuku. Let's have fun again then. A one-sided hunt with no counterattack.

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

One of the members of the "Guardians of the Magical Academy" loudly accused the "White Wolf" of insidious attacks.

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

'Enough of this, you people!　Is this how they repay us for fighting for their city?　They do not even collect their own items, but only snatch what they can get from others. And then, they attack us from behind after we have fought so hard and exhausted ourselves?　You are all cowardly. Is that your way?　Shameless bastards!　Have you no pride in yourselves as adventurers?"

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

He's saying something.

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

　Rod said.

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

Kukk. I can't hear you. Keep attacking.

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

　Jamil said with a sneer.

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

　After that, the Grand Alliance continued to be repeatedly pinched by the "Fire Dragon (Fafnir)" and the "White Wolf.

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

　As they were repeatedly attacked in this way, the Grand Alliance's stamina, equipment, and morale were gradually being depleted.

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

　Finally, some of the allied guilds began to surrender to the "White Wolf".

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

Help me, please help me. We won't resist anymore.

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

I give up, please don't shoot me."

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

　Sein sees this and is horrified.

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

(Don't be stupid, you idiot. If you guys surrender now, ......)

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

　Currently, the Grand Alliance is made up of those who have the strength of the "Guardians of the Academy of Magic" to fight the "Fire Dragon (Fafnir)," and the "White Wolf" attack was somehow able to be accomplished by using the Alliance guilds as shields.

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

　If the allied guilds were to surrender, they would not be able to support the attack from the White Wolf.

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

　As expected, the "White Wolf" white army did not accept the surrender of the allied guilds, but rather charged at them.

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

　The members of the allied guilds were driven back under attack and avalanche towards the "Guardians of the Magic Academy" who are currently engaging the "Fire Dragon (Fafnir)".

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

　The grand alliance was in chaos.

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

"Ohhhhhh!"

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

Oh, no!"

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

The "Guardians of the Academy of Magic" tried to fight back, but they were exposed to the enemy's attacks without being able to properly ready their weapons as the allied guild members fled to us in a state of panic.

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

　Finally, one of the mage knights had his armor destroyed and was badly damaged.

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

　The rare metals he had around him were scattered.

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

　Thieves swarmed around and picked up the rare metal.

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

　Sein was stunned.

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

(The rare metal I had collected so much ......)

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

Calm down. We'll rebuild somehow."

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

　There was a movement to bounce back "White Wolf" in one of the allied guilds.

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

(That was ......)

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

　Arul looks in that direction and sees a warrior (Warrior) from a micro guild fighting with a blue coated shield and armor.

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

　It was Erio and his "Shield of Dawn.

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

　Erio takes on the charging, heavily armed bandits single-handedly, rather than rallying.

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

　Thanks to this, the "Guardians of the Magic Academy" had time to get back on their feet.

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

'Oh, they're doing it, aren't they?'

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

　One of the mage knights said admiringly.

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

'That's an unfamiliar piece of equipment. Is that design engraved on the weapon a spirit holding a hammer?

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

Anyway, it sure helped. We'll get you back on your feet now, sub-captain.

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

Yes, those who have free hands can use the javelin. While the blue-armored men are holding up, let's take advantage of the space behind them. Get ready for the assault position!

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

　Arle gave the instructions.

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

Remember that we are proud to be knights of magic. Our strength is that we are mages, but we can also fight with white soldiers! Use the white blade to reap the enemy and stab them to death. Push and shove, don't take a step back, and let the enemy run away.

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

　Sein blasted.

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

The "Javelin" was a weapon for use against the "Fafnir" fire dragon, but it also functioned well as a weapon against humans.

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

　The heat emitted from the spirit that resides in the silver tip of the blade is powerful enough to burn iron, pierce shields, and pierce armor.

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

　The "Javelin" unit thus deployed charged forward to strike the "White Wolf" with a single, desperate blow.

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

　However, as soon as the "Javelin" crossed the shield of the "White Wolf," it was easily neutralized.

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

（What is it?)

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

　One of the mage knights noticed that his "javelin" did not fire well.

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

The shields of the "White Wolf"'s white army units were equipped with "silver crushing stones".

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

　It is the natural enemy of the "Javelin," which shatters silver, and is the worst weapon of all.

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

　The attacks of the knights were parried, and they were easily repelled.

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

　One by one, they were surrounded, damaged, and robbed of the rare metals they possessed.

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

'Such ...... nonsense.'

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

　Witnessing the hopelessness of the battle, Sein wanders and shivers.

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

Oh, no. Oh, no.

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

　Arle said as if spoon-fed.

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

Seyi-chan, any more will only drain your strength unnecessarily. We'll just have to run away in pieces and make it back to the city.

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

d*mn. How could we, a venerable guild, turn our backs on a bunch of bandits and fall back? d*mn!　What an abomination!

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

　The Grand Alliance collapsed and was forced to flee.

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

　Erio and the other "Shield of Dawn" stayed on until the end, fighting against the "White Wolf.

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

　However, this backfired and they were completely unable to escape.

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

　Erio was hurrying on his way to the city while standing on the shingari for all the guild members to secure a way out.

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

He was standing on the road to the city, making sure that all the guild members were able to escape. We are almost there.

　Leon, the leader, calls out to Jeff, the archer.

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

　He was out of breath, leaning on Leon's shoulder and somehow managing to keep on walking.

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

　He had been caught in an unfamiliar mix-up and was deeply wounded.

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

I'm sorry," he said. It was my fault.

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

What are you talking about? What are you talking about? Now, if you have time to whine, walk.

　Cecil, the thief (shifu), said to cheer her up.

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

　Elio escorted the party, looking worriedly at Jeff.

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

　(They had already reached the forested area at the foot of the mountain, but the distribution of the monsters had changed significantly as the hordes of "Fafnir" were rampaging all over the place, and the tough monsters of the upper "metal lines" were now on the move. Monsters were roaming around.

(If you manage to escape to the city, please contact ....... Please. Monsters, please don't show up.)

　He counterattacks, catching the claws of the incoming "Fafnir".

Fafnir" screams "gah gah gah" and returns to the sky.

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

I'll hold them off, guys. Take Jeff and get out of here.

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

　Erio says so, and the three of them do so, looking frustrated.

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

　They knew very well that they would be slowed down by being here.

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

　Fafnir," who thought his own claws were ineffective, began attacking Erio with his "breath of fire.

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

　However, even "Breath of Fire" could not break through Erio's armor.

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

　However, even Erio could not touch him because he was not wearing any anti-aircraft equipment.

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

　Erio and "Fafnir" glare at each other as if trying to find the right moment.

Fafnir" flapped his wings irritably.

(Be angry, be angry. While you're dealing with me, you can't touch the three of them. If you get tired while doing so ......)

　However, such an aim of Erio's was vain, and a scream came from the three of them.

　A "fire dragon (Fafnir)" stood in front of them.

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

　Cecil draws his dagger and holds it ready.

　However, it was too unreliable a weapon against the flying, steel-scaled "Fire Dragon (Fafnir).

　But it was too heavy a decision for him to make.

Fafnir's mouth is filled with the breath of fire.

（What the hell?　(You're saved?)

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

Are you okay?"

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

　I looked back at the voice and saw a young man who looked like a playful person and his sisters who looked solid in contrast.

The voice asked, "Was that attack by you guys ......?"

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

I'm not sure. We are the guild "Heavenly Horse Arrows. You guys have a partnership with the Arsenal of Spirits, don't you?"

Yes, the new "Dragon Piercing Sky" equipment from the "Arsenal of the Spirits. I was actually told by Roland not to get involved with the Grand Alliance. But then I saw that emblem on your weapons. As a fan of the Arsenal of Spirits, I felt I had to help you.

　Hans smiled that infectious smile.

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

We're here now, and you're safe," he said. Between here and the city, we, the Arrows of Heavenly Horse, will protect you from the threat of the Fire Dragon (Fafnir).
