Chapter 433: Annual Monster Wave Part 5

Pov Aredhel:

This monster wave is being a little different from the previous ones, normally the Grade S monsters only start to appear during the second or third day, but this time they started to appear hours after the monster wave happened, something is wrong.

I look ahead and see the shield troops enduring the relentless onslaught of the monsters that are soon decimated by our Mages and Spiritualists.

The Fairies and Spirits are attacking from above, completely decimating the monsters below.

The few monsters that manage to get through the first line of shield defense are destroyed by the warriors behind the shields.

The Gray Elves are running among the monsters killing any troublesome monsters like those that use poison or illusions, these are the ones that caused the destruction of our strategies.

One of our countermeasures is to not let these monsters grow in numbers as it can be difficult to fend off many of them.

"All is going well so far Mistress Aredhel, but the number of monsters is worrying me."  (Carolina)

"Yes, me too."  (I)

I close my eyes and use the vision of the Fairies I have a contract with, I switch from one to the other to try to understand the situation as best I can.

"(These numbers are higher than last year and previous years, the only thing that happened differently this year was the Heretic God dead, the failed attempt to summon something in the Makari Realm, and that Vampire getting the Trinity.)" (I)

"(What happened to the Heretic God shouldn't affect that much, let alone a place as far away as this.)" (I)

"(At least the Fairy Kings who passed by here said so.)" (I)

"(What happened in the Makari Kingdom has already been confirmed that in two of the main cities there was an attempt to summon something, there is also the suspicion that the destroyed city actually has something that was summoned.)" (I)

"(But whatever happened in the Makari Kingdom the Annual Monster Wave this time is going to be worse there, that was expected, but it wouldn't affect us here.)" (I)

"(About that Vampire... as much as I'd like to say it's his fault, I can't do that, someone getting the trinity of nature shouldn't affect the environment like that.)" (I)

"What's going on here?"  (I)

Sigh

I look at our troops firmly holding these monsters, I knew this is only being possible so easily because it's still at the beginning of the monster wave, the monsters of the two dungeons still haven't reached this far, besides the stronger monsters not yet born, it will take a little longer for the energies to build up enough for that.

If it were any other year, we would be in danger when the end of the Monster Wave happens, but this time our forces are more closely concentrated on one side of the village, so even with this stronger Annual Monster Wave we should still be able to defend ourselves in a safe way.

"(I won't thank that bastard for helping us this time, he didn't do more than his duty after the help the Great World Tree gave him to obtain the trinity of nature.)" (I)

"Are the ritual spells ready?"  (I)

"Yes, we are waiting for your command to use."  (Carolina)

"We'd better wait until the Grade SS monsters are spawning, with the current progression they should spawn in less than two days."  (I)

"Maybe one day."  (I)

"I'll let the Mages know."  (Carolina)

I was suddenly curious as to how that Vampire was doing on their side, I sent a Fairy there so I could find out what was going on.

But when the Fairy gets there and I see what's happening there through the Fairy's eyes, I'm shocked.

That Vampire's troops were scattered in medium-sized groups that were fighting in different ways, it was all chaotic, one group didn't seem to coordinate with the others.

As I watch this amateur army I realize that they are focusing on versatility, I notice that groups move to areas that need it most quickly, even if I don't agree with this type of strategy I can at least admit that it's working so far.

But this kind of strategy is very risky, they don't have a line of defense, they only have a strong attack line, and besides that, they have troops resting in the middle, they also have archers and mages in the backline doing long-range attacks.

It seems that they are rotating their attacking forces to maintain a stable condition to continue an ongoing battle.

This will work now, but when the stronger monsters start to swarm they will have to use all their troops to attack, also without a line of defense to hold back so many monsters they always have to be aware of their surroundings, this strategy is very risky.

But I was surprised to see the overall strength of their troops, they are a level stronger individually than our troops, so far it's relying on this strength that they're supporting, but how long will they be able to keep it that way?

I keep looking and see the Dragon coming out of the shadows and devouring the monsters, I also see an unknown creature flying around while releasing bolts of dark energy from its jaws at the monsters.

But what caught my attention the most was the Fairy, this time I could see her real dorma that she had been hiding all this time, she had four arms and her wings had the energies of several different elements.

"(What kind of Fairy is this?)" (I)

The strangest thing was the happy smile that this Fairy had while she was destroying enemies, she seemed to be happy with all this death and destruction, the worst thing is that this Fairy was not the only one, there were more people who seemed to be happy with this battle.

"I should have known that anyone who agreed to follow that bastard Vampire would be crazy, now I'm sure."  (I)

I open my eyes and turn my attention back to just our battle, I can only hope that that Vampire and his followers are at least able to defend the other side of the village.
