When Haruto gave the order, the Blaze students scattered all at once.
In there, a large sword was swung down.
Holding the rusty great sword, was a huge ogre. It was about two hundred fifty meters.
Claude looked up at the giant figure while fixing his glasses.
“I’ve heard of it in class. That there are some ogres which are huge. …… So this was it.”
And, to the point that he sounds carefree,
“So, what about it in class?”
When Haruto asked, Claude said loudly enough for everyone to hear.
“Surround it!!”
Oooh! Then voices responded, and they surround the giant ogre in a long distance.
“『Flame』!!”
Half of them aimed at the ogre’s feet and the other half at the ogre’s upper body, to avoid friendly fire.
The magic hit it in an interesting way, and the ogre was set on fire by the bombardment from all directions, becoming a daruma doll . (TN: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Daruma_doll )
“Giyaaaaaaaaaaaah!!”
“Slash!”
The four of them attacked the ogre’s front and back, left and right, all at once.
“Gugah!”
While threatening the student in front of it, it was slashed in the back, and when the ogre turned its head, the student in front of it then slashed it.
In no time at all, the Ogre’s entire body was torn to shreds and it collapsed on the snow.
“At this rate, we’ll make it.”
“Yeah. But ……”
Another horde of ogres came over the stone wall.
Half of them attacked the students in the snowfield, while the other half headed for the fortress.
The gates of the fortress had been breached, and Vario and his garrison soldiers were defending the stairs leading to the entrance.
However, if the number of enemies continues to increase, they will be outnumbered.
“We’re not going to make it as it is huh……”
If Haruto takes it seriously, he might be able to manage this on his own.
However, he felt that there was no meaning then.
This is a real battle.
Everyone in Blaze is just getting used to fighting against the Northern Demons (Tempest).
The experience of overcoming a desperate situation by our own strength will benefit all of us. So Haruto thought.
As he looked out over the snowfield, he saw a wall of light standing in a circle in the distance.
Inside it, were the students of Luminous. They sing a song to lure the Northern Demons(Tempest) to crash into the wall of light, and invite them to their self-destruction.
Haruto called out loudly to Clara.
“Clara! Can you build a wall in the stone wall so the ogres can’t climb it!?”
“I’ll try it nodesu !”
Clara took the Luminous students with her to the stone wall.
“Let’s cover Luminous!”
A line that would never have come out in the academy, naturally came out of Haruto’s mouth.
Blaze met up with Luminous near the stone wall.
“Leave the climbing Ogres to Blaze!”
“Understood!”
They climb the cliff and intercept the oncoming Ogre in a group battle.
Meanwhile, Clara prayed and built up a wall of light along the stone walls.
The effect was so great that the ogre could not climb the wall of light without having a clue, and on the contrary, it fell down the cliff, bounced by the holy effect of it repelling evil ones.
“But, to keep doing this…… it’s difficult nodesu ”
Clara looks at the other students with sweats on their faces, and raises her eyebrows in annoyance.
Haruto clicks his tongue and looks at Claude, who was next to him.
And then,
“Seems like reinforcements have just arrived, you know?”
“What?”
And, when Haruto turned around,
“Jah~n! When troubled, there’s Adelina-chan~!!”
The Horizon students arrived, led by Adelina.
“That helps, but …… what are you going to do?”
“Well~, well~, leave it to me! This is the place to show off our earth magic!”
The Horizon students scattered appropriately and put their hands on the stone wall.
“Then, here I go~! One, two!!”
With Adelina’s call, everyone cast the magic of Horizon on the stone wall.
At that moment, the stones of the stone wall changed.
“Gah!?”
A stone spear pierced the chest of an ogre who was just about to climb the stone wall.
It was like an icicle made of stone.
It’s popping out horizontally.
The stones of the stone wall changed, altering their shape.
“Le~t’s take another shot~!!”
This time, thorns protruded from the entire slope of the stone walls at the cliff.
It pierced the ogres that were trying to climb the cliff, throwing them off.
A group of ogres was falling, while screaming and shouting. Then, a beat later, a chorus of death agonies echoed. The bottom of the cliff, surely should’ve turned into a hellish picture.
“Ehehe~, wha~t do you think? About Adelina-chan’s magic?”
Praise me? To Adelina who does a peace sign in front of her face,
““Do it faster!””
And Blaze and Luminous gave her a united quip.
However, now, all that was left for them was to eradicate the remaining ogres, and the defense would be a success in the meantime.
The ogres were scattered across the snowfield, and the Absolute is in pursuit of them.
Then, what about the fortress.
The fortress is being defended by the garrison soldiers.
However, it seemed that they were also having a very difficult time.
A group of over a hundred ogres has gathered on the three-meter wide stairs leading to the fortress. They were in a state of heavy congestion, pushing each other towards the entrance.
They’re like a crowd flocking to a market. A mere twenty or so garrison soldiers were trying to protect it against the crowd of ogres.
“This fortress must be defended till our deaths! Defensive formation!”
They all lined up their shields and were trying to push the ogres back.
However, it was difficult to resist them with human power alone. They were being pushed slowly.
“Captain! We can’t keep this…… anymore!”
“I,I can’t do this anymore!”
“Kuh!”
Just as the Garrison soldiers’ hearts were about to break, Vario leapt over the Ogre’s head and into the group of enemies.
“Wha!?”
Haruto, who was watching, was also surprised.
“Don’t give up! We are the defenders of the Imperial Capital! We are the shield of the people!!”
A sword of ice shoots out in all directions from Edelweiss, Vario’s shield.
“That, the Northern Demons(Tempest) are!!”
The sharp tips of the sword, pierced the ogres all at once.
“Oooooooooooooooooooohhhh!!”
He also swung his Edelweiss and tore through the surrounding ogres.
“He’s being reckless……”
Haruto unintentionally murmured to himself.
It takes a lot of courage to jump into a pack of ogres.
Vario’s courage and sense of self-sacrifice are real.
Nevertheless, why is he doing that much —— thinking about it, Haruto realized.
Right…… Leina is in the fortress.
Tsk, Haruto clicks his tongue.
Claude then asks him as if he was checking up on him.
“Haruto, what do we do? Do you want to help?”
“……No, not if it’s a melee. Blaze’s magic will burn the entire garrison to the ground.”
“Then, we’ll head out to clean up the remaining ogres.”
“I ask you”
“I’m sure Haruto’s been under a lot of stress keeping up with everyone, so go have fun.”
He couldn’t help but float a bitter smile when he said it with a self-satisfied look.
“Geez……”
Haruto then pulled Phoenix out of his pocket.
“『Flame』”
When he put his finger on the body of his sword, and let the magic of flames wrap it ——,
He ran towards the swarm of ogres that were flooding into the fortress entrance.
“Oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooohhh!!”
When the ogres looked back, the phoenix had flashed. All together, fourteen of them had their bodies severed.
“You are ……!?”
Vario’s eyes widened at the sudden appearance of Haruto and his fighting ability.
“What’s wrong, Vario! Is that only what you’ve got!?”
Vario smiled at Haruto, who wielded his sword casually and simply defeated the Ogres in front of him accurately.
“Don’t underestimate me. It was a preparatory exercise so far.”
“That’s right. Let’s show Leina something good”
“Fuh, if that’s the game, I’ll win.”
“Don’t say it…… here I go!!”
Haruto swung his sword with tremendous force. Rather than attacking the fortress, the ogres change their goal to defeat Haruto and attack him.
But Vario’s sword sliced through from his back.
“This fortress, the imperial capital, I will protect it!!”
“We’ll follow our captain!!”
“Ooooooooooohhh!!”
Following Vario, the garrison soldiers also rushed into the crowd of ogres.
When the ogres attacked to oppose the garrison soldiers, which had regained their liveliness, they were cut to pieces by Haruto this time.
The ogres were terrified.
They were now being hunted by humans who they were supposed to hunt.
Before long, the ogres realized that they were in a dead zone, and immediately fell into panic. They were howling with each other, squeezing forward and backward.
In this situation, even the Northern Demons(Tempest) were no longer enemies.
——Ten minutes later.
The biggest Ogres’ offensive in the history of Axstard came to an end with the complete victory of the Grand Magia Magic Sorcery Academy and the Northern Garrison.
