The three dragons that had rushed into the capital of Agartha continued their rampage, causing great damage to the buildings around the west gate and to the surrounding people.
"d*mn! I can't get through the attack!"
"It's those hard scales!"
Saying such things, the soldiers are desperately trying to hold off the dragons. Behind them, Mei, Roni, and the rest of the staff of the medical institute were working together to treat the injured.
"We got them!"
The soldiers cheer. It seems that they have killed a dragon that had invaded the vicinity of the Agartha army headquarters near the west gate. Although it was a little small, it was still powerful, and the soldiers had succeeded in killing it, even though some of them were injured.
"The eye! Poke the dragon in the eye!"
Such voices rang out among the soldiers near the west gate. Soon after, news arrived that the other dragon had also been slain, boosting the morale of the soldiers. However, the soldiers are astonished by the news that comes afterwards.
"What? The undead?"
Lowood, who is in command of the city's garrison, rolls his eyes in astonishment. Then, he calmly analyzes the situation of the war, staring at the dragon that is rampaging right in front of him with a look of disgust.
"Dragons and the undead....... That's nasty. But fortunately or unfortunately, they are attacking from the same western side. We should defeat this dragon and use its momentum to face the undead ......."
With these words, he ordered his soldiers to surround the dragon ten to twenty times and concentrate their attacks.
"Undead? And thousands!
It was Ferris who was the first to shout in astonishment. She looked surprised, but in her hand she was signing one document after another, one after another, in the correct position. She was doing the feat of checking the contents of the documents with her right eye while looking at the messages with her left eye. It is said that dragons have a wide field of vision and can see 360 degrees, and even though she has been humanized, Kulurkan, who is originally a high-ranking member of the dragon tribe, has not lost her wide field of vision. That is why she is able to perform such a feat with such ease.
"With all due respect, Ferris and Ruara, please move back to the east. This area is also in danger.
"No, we'll fight too. ...... is the wrong policy name! Disapproved!"
Before the startled soldiers, Ferris calls out to Ruara, who is standing next to him, chewing on the desk without moving an inch.
"Well? Are your hands free? I mean, can you spare me?"
Luara was silent for a while in response to these words, but eventually, without trying to hide her annoyance, she gave a quick reply.
I know, I know. ...... Oh my god! I knew the tax rate was wrong!"
With that, she draws a double line through the numbers on the form with a pen and fills in the new numbers. Ruara was responsible for all the accounting of Agartha, making use of her excellent mental arithmetic skills. She, too, grew up in the sea as a child, the daughter of King Poseidon. Because of the vastness of the sea, she would get lost if she did not calculate exactly how far and in which direction she had traveled from the location of Poseidon's palace. For this reason, she has been thoroughly trained in mental arithmetic since she was a child. Thanks to this, she now has the ability to calculate even a ten-digit number in just a few seconds.
"Hi! It's done! The supplementary budget for this fiscal year is over!
Ruara stands up, snapping her neck, and looks at Ferris, who is standing next to her.
Ferris stands up quickly and leaves the room with Luara. The soldiers follow behind them, looking puzzled. They had originally said that Ferris would take down the dragon, but when they heard that the soldiers were already working together to defeat the dragon, they decided to join in the fight against the undead.
"Um, ...... I was told that Master Hargi and Master Zeza will be joining us against the undead. ......"
Ferris looks at the soldier with a curious expression on his face as he hears his voice.
"Hargi and Zeza? Did they have any magic?"
"No, I think he's going to confront them with his sword."
Ruara's voice makes Ferris look stunned.
"Are you stupid? You're going to die for sure, aren't you?"
"So we have to take care of it before they arrive."
"Right."
With this conversation in mind, the two quickly ascend the stairs and head for the top of the ramparts. From there, they could see the undead filling the meadow in the distance.
"Let's get this over with, sister. I have other work to do.
Yes, it is. I haven't finished my work yet either.
Ferris and Ruara rolled up their sleeves and began to roll their shoulders.
"Now, let's get this urgent matter out of the way! Windstorm!"
"Work after work after work. ....... I don't like it. Ice Bullet!
A tremendous magic shot out from the city walls toward the undead, and the undead in front of me disappeared in an instant. But then the hordes of the undead reappear. The two men look at each other, smiling, trying to find the right moment to cast their magic.
Meanwhile, at the West Gate, the last of the dragons is being defeated. The soldiers attacked without a break, but the dragon used its hard body surface to avoid their attacks. They attacked around the eyes, which seemed to be the most important part of the fight, but the dragon turned its back and attacked with its tail, not allowing the soldiers to approach.
Lowood, the captain of the garrison, had already received word that Ferris and Ruara were attacking the approaching undead from the top of the city walls. In addition, news had just arrived that Hagee and Zeza of Miedai were on their way to join them. For this reason, he wanted to kill this dragon as soon as possible so that he could go out there and kill the undead.
"Yeah! What are you doing! Come on, come on, come on! We've got to take them down fast!"
"Aim for the base of the tail!"
Suddenly, a voice rises from behind. Startled, Lowood turns around to see Matkal in full armor.
"Matocalu-sama ......," he said, "I'm ......, Matocalu-sama ......."
She gives a gentle smile. But her complexion was so pale that Lowood could not help but gasp.
"All troops, break off! Three columns! Two squads in front of the dragon, the rest behind!"
Matkal's clear voice rang out. At the sound of his voice, the soldiers split into three groups and took up their positions in a single, unruffled movement. The dragon's expression was puzzled by their movements.
"Two vanguard squads, charge!"
The dragon quickly turns its back and tries to attack with its tail as the spear thrusts out in front of it. However, a group deployed behind it, under the command of Matkal, immediately launches a spear at it.
"Goaahhh!"
Surrounded by spears, the dragon rises up on its hind legs. At that moment, Matkal's order flew.
"Stick it at the base of the tail!"
Spears are unleashed from the troops behind the dragon. The spear easily pierced the dragon's body.
"Gogaaaah!"
The dragon falls over on its back. Seeing that the dragon has just fallen on its belly, Matkal gives a quick command.
"Now! Poke him in the gut!"
Spear after spear is thrust into the dragon's belly as it tries to regain its position. Soon the dragon stopped moving and the light faded from its eyes. Lowood, who was watching the scene, silently bowed to Matkal.
"Good, Lowood. You did a good job."
She gives him a gentle smile as she speaks to him. Then she quickly turned her attention to the soldiers and gave them further instructions.
"All troops, line up! After our dragon slaying job, we have one more job to do! We're going out there right now to take down the undead! Pull the horses!"
"Master Matkal! Your body!
I'm fine. Don't worry, Lowood.
She raises her hand to stop Lowood, who tries to stop her. Just then, a voice behind her, sounding like a man's shout, is heard.
"That's him! He killed my mother! This is the commander of Lamaron's army at that time!"
Matkal slowly turns around in the direction of the voice. There, he was met with an unexpected and startling sight: .......
