Tsubaki, who already became a Dragon Horse, is wearing her complete armor today. Merildsan and her party shrunk away from the intensity of it.

the three parties squabbled and poked fun at Lyle-san as they got on the carriage.

「Let's go, Tsubaki!」

『Burururu!!』

Tsubaki began pulling away from the adventurers gathering by the south gate at explosive speeds.

When the carriage started moving, I called Kaede out. Kaege immediately got on Tsubaki's back.

「Have you guys thought of a strategy?」

「Not really. First we'll scatter them with magic from inside the running carriage, and then Tsubaki will plunge in. After that, I'll leave Tsubaki and the carriage to Marnie and Kaede, expecting them to annihilate indiscriminately.」

「Hm, that certainly can't be called a strategy.」

「Heath, I think what the kid's saying isn't wrong. We don't have a speck of coordination. so isn't it better for the parties to crush a group of monsters each?」

「…… you have a point.」

「「Here you go, we've brewed some tea.」」

Maria and Marnie brewed and distributed tea to everyone.

A little bit over 2 hours have pa.s.sed since leaving Volton, the walls of Wedgefort became visible. Arrows rain incessantly from the top of the halls, attacking the monsters, but it was like pouring water on hot stones. Even so, there's not even a single crack on Wedgefort's walls.

「Meri-san, it's about time we deal a preemptive / first strike.」

「……roger.」

I called out to Meri, the Crimson Rose's mage, so we could deal a preemptive strike.

Sophia, Maria, Laeva, and myself, the four of us began our preparations for a large-scale annihilation magic.

「Thunder G.o.d's Hammer, Thor's Hammer!」

「Tornado!」

「Fire Storm!」

「Dance of the will-o-the-wisp!」

「……Fire Storm」

A rain of thunder, a winding maelstrom of blades of wind, a fiery vortex that engulfs, ma.s.ses of will-o-the-wisps scattered, hitting the swarm of monsters as far as they eye can see.

The combination magic resulted in a large-scale annihilation magic trampling down the monsters.

「Go! Tsubaki!」

Tsubaki sped up and plunged into the monsters.

Doga! Baakyaan!!

Tsubaki hooks them to her horn, crushed them underfoot, and sent them flying with a ram.

Kaede's threads danced freely, mangling the monsters.

When Tsubaki did a U-turn, the members of the 『Lion's Fang』 and 『Crimson Rose』 jumped out. We followed after them and charged at the monsters.

We wielded the three magic spears. In the s.p.a.ce opened from monsters scattering, t.i.tan jumped out from the Subs.p.a.ce. His large s.h.i.+eld smashed monsters flying, and the mace he weirlded crushed monsters' heads.

Lion's Fang and Crimson Rose already took their respective places and were each crus.h.i.+ng monsters.

Sophia changed from her spear to Ranma's Round s.h.i.+eld and Sacred Sword Amaterasu and entered the melee.

Maria wielded her flame spear 【Explode】 and supported Sophia. Every time Explode was swung, the surrounding monsters burned.

Laeva did a rapid-fire cast of will-o'-the-wisp on the carriage's coachman seat.

I took out the Ice Spear 【Ice Bringer】, using it to mow down enemies and crush enemies with its b.u.t.t end.

.

I was getting a grasp of the locations and sitations Sophia and Maria, Laeva and Marnie, Tsubaki and Kaede were in as I swung the Absolute Sword Tsukuyomi and Ice Bringer.

「(Just what are those?!)」

Merilda received a shock when she saw 『Wings of Norn』. 『Crimson Rose』 is a B rank party, 『Wings of Norn』 is a C rank party. She didn't doubt that that the ones with the higher rank were themselves. That was, until this fight began………….
