The Extra Wants To Live

Chapter 69: Attack [5]

The battle entered a lull, giving the exhausted soldiers time to catch their breath and drag the wounded inside.

Milton, who had been quietly waiting in the center among the soldiers of Hilfin Castle, slipped his hand out between the shields to treat the wounded, and then put his hand back in.

Catherine, who was circling around the formation and killing gnolls, also managed to catch her breath for a moment.

Awwwwww-!

At that moment, a long crying sound was heard again.

However, there was one thing that was clearly different from before.

They were getting closer!

"Lady Catherine!"

Carl called Catherine.

However, even with her incredibly accurate intuition, Carl could not directly point out the direction Catherine should follow.

The tip of the spear, which was floating uneasily in the air for a moment, points towards the east, and at the same time as Catherine leaps out, the gnolls that had retreated rush in at once!

"Die! Die!"

"Aaaah!"

The gnoll suddenly seems to have lost its mind and rushes forward despite being stabbed by a spear. However, the soldiers, with high morale, did not take a single step back and courageously attacked and killed the gnoll.

However, with a short window, it is impossible to create a perfect dust protection with holes in one row.

Even though the gnoll suffered enormous damage, it dug in and began pulling out the soldiers one by one.

"Bilford! Take charge of the southwest!"

"Yes! … Yes?"

Bilford responded vigorously to Carl's voice, ran vigorously, and then turned around in surprise. Carl's vivid green eyes visible through the visor. They shone resolutely, looking at Bilford. For a moment, Bilford had no choice but to hesitate. His mission is to protect Carl. But now, with a firm belief that even Bilford himself could not understand, his master gave him orders.

What on earth did this wretched commoner see that gave him such unwavering faith? Bilford hesitated, struggled, made a decision, and then sighed. And following Carl's orders, they ran with all their might toward the southwest of the formation.

"The rest will take charge of the North with me!"

Carl personally led the knights of Bordeaux and Hilfin and headed to the north of the formation.

Once Carl gave the command, they moved along without realizing it, and then a question mark appeared in their heads.

'Why?'

The moment they thought that, the answer appeared before their eyes, as if they had been waiting for it.

A large shadow rushed through the trees, jumped up, jumped over everyone's heads, and fell into the formation!

Thud! Coogung!

Wow!

The fur all over its body stood up like thorns, and it looked at its prey with bright yellow eyes. It stood tall at a height of up to 2.5 meters, with long and thick limbs, large and sharp teeth, stiff fur that looked like it could hold a spear knife, and muscles that were ready to explode!

"Stop it!"

Carl screamed like a roar.

If they don't stop it, their ranks will collapse and everyone will be wiped out here.

"Ugh!"

There is no way for the soldiers to fight with confidence as they land on the back of a gigantic gnoll that they are unable to stop even if it charges at them from the front.

"Don't look back! Look ahead! "I am here!"

Carl shouted at the soldiers with all his might, using his voice as loud and deep as possible.

Surprisingly, some people trembled with fear at those words but focused on the front.

However, not everyone can do that, and soon the phalanx begins to slowly disintegrate.

There is a large gnoll in front of Carl and Hilfin's knights, and there is also one in front of Bilford.

So why can't Catherine help them even in this desperate crisis? … .

"… … ."

"… … ."

Catherine narrowed her eyes as she looked up at the giant gnoll standing tall before her. The gnoll, which is well over 3 meters tall and has fur as bright as blood, is closely examining Catherine with sunken golden eyes. You can feel both.

One mistake can cost you your life. A mere gnoll could threaten the life of Catherine, who had become an imperial knight, with only one skill. He was carefully examining his skills, and he quickly changed his tactics to attack.

Just like a human.

No, it's more dangerous than humans!

Carl was right.

Catherine realized that this was where it had to end.

There is no time to save mana and stamina. Go full force from the beginning.

Catherine took a deep breath, steeling herself for the intense battle ahead. With a swift motion, she tightened her grip on her sword and prepared to engage the towering gnoll.

As the gnoll lunged forward with lightning speed, Catherine's instincts kicked in. With deft footwork and precise swordplay, she dodged its initial attack and retaliated with a series of swift strikes aimed at its vulnerable spots.

Clang! Clang! Clang!

The sound of metal meeting metal echoed through the forest as Catherine and the gnoll clashed in a fierce duel. With each exchange, Catherine's determination only grew stronger, fueled by the knowledge that the lives of her comrades depended on her victory.

Despite the gnoll's immense strength and ferocity, Catherine held her ground with unwavering resolve. She danced around its powerful blows with grace and agility, striking back with calculated precision.

The battle raged on, each moment fraught with tension and danger. But Catherine remained focused, her mind clear and her movements decisive. She knew that she couldn't afford to make a single mistake if she wanted to emerge victorious.

As the gnoll's attacks grew more desperate, Catherine saw an opening. With a swift and decisive strike, she delivered the finishing blow, driving her sword deep into the gnoll's heart.

With a roar of triumph, Catherine watched as the towering creature fell to the ground, defeated at last. She took a moment to catch her breath, her heart still racing from the intensity of the battle.
