Anime Crossover: Master is Not Here Today

Page 372

Seeing this, Fujimaru Ritsuka obediently dispelled the summons.

Ushiwakamaru then belatedly realized what was happening and, somewhat embarrassed, said:

"Sorry, I got a little too engrossed in the game."

"It's ok."

Fujimaru Ritsuka smiled nonchalantly, already used to this situation. After all, there were plenty of Servants in Chaldea who loved fighting and sparring, and the simulated battle room had Servants battling almost 24 hours a day.

Musashibo Benkei also laughed:

"After all, it's rare to encounter a strong person who can make Lord Ushiwakamaru fight to that extent, so it's inevitable that he would devote himself to it wholeheartedly."

"indeed so!"

Ushiwakamaru nodded in agreement, then looked at Fujimaru Ritsuka again, excitedly approaching her and praising her without reservation:

"I truly never imagined that Miss Gudako's summoning magic was so powerful; it's simply breathtaking!"

Leonidas I couldn't help but echo:

"Now, with Gudako's powerful assistance, this horde of monsters will probably just be coming here to die in vain!"

"No."

Fujimaru Ritsuka scratched her head somewhat embarrassedly.

To be precise, the strength lies not in the summoning spell itself, but in the Servants that can be summoned.

Regardless, at this moment, the way Ushiwakamaru, Musashibo Benkei, and Leonidas I looked at her had undergone some subtle changes compared to before.

Before this, they were just partners belonging to the same camp, but after this sparring match, Fujimaru Ritsuka transformed into a strong person worthy of their respect.

In short, having gained a general understanding of Fujimaru Ritsuka's strength, today's matter is temporarily concluded.

The distance between the North Wall and Uruk is an easy journey for Servants to travel back and forth, but considering that the monster horde might launch a large-scale attack in the next two days, they decided to stay at the North Wall for the time being.

Although it was unclear why she wanted to conceal her identity, Leonidas I thoughtfully provided her with a separate tent, thus avoiding the awkward situation of having to sleep in a cloak.

With some time remaining, Ushiwakamaru took the initiative to invite her to tour the living area of the North Wall.

Although it was the most dangerous front, the prosperity and bustle of the North Wall were in no way inferior to those of Uruk.

Besides the stationed soldiers, a large number of logistics personnel and merchants who voluntarily come here to provide services also live here.

Of course, the vast majority of thriving businesses are military-related.

Ushiwakamaru smiled and said:

"Such prosperity is one of the reasons why the front line has only been able to hold out until now."

After touring the north wall, everyone gathered with the soldiers for dinner. Although it was certainly not as lavish as in Uruk, it was still plentiful and filling.

After dinner, everyone returned to their tents to rest.

None of them knew exactly when the monsters' all-out attack would begin, so every minute and second of rest before that was crucial.

Fujimaru Ritsuka, naturally adapting to local customs, went to bed early to rest. In her drowsy state, she thought of something else—

I wonder if Merlin will ask her to work the night shift tonight?

Considering the urgency of her situation these past two days, she felt it would be better to temporarily leave all the Tiamat matters to Merlin to handle...

……

...

"Gudako-san, Gudako-san!"

"...?!"

Suddenly, Fujimaru Ritsuka woke up from her dream. A cacophony of panicked noises came from outside the tent, including not only the soldiers' voices but also a few bloody roars.

At the same time, Ushiwakamaru's urgent cries for help also came through—

"Gudako-san, wake up!"

"The monster horde has launched a full-scale attack!"

Chapter 432 Warcraft All-Out Attack

Upon hearing the news of the monsters launching a full-scale attack, Fujimaru Ritsuka instantly snapped out of her daze, quickly tidied her clothes, stepped out of the tent, and immediately asked upon seeing Ushiwakamaru:

"What's going on now?!"

She felt that her question was somewhat unnecessary.

It was just before dawn; the sun had not yet risen, and the moon overhead was obscured by clouds. Although the area they were in was lit by torches, the night was still exceptionally dark.

In the dim firelight, countless soldiers, just like her, were rushing out of their tents, picking up their weapons and quickly entering the battle under the captain's command.

But in the flickering shadows of the firelight, it seemed as if some terrifying monster lurked, capable of easily tearing a person's body apart in an instant, creating even greater chaos.

"Alarm, alarm!"

"The 17th ward of Kijima has been breached! Residents in the vicinity, please evacuate immediately!"

"The Lion Corps, hurry and march to subdue them!"

Watching the demonic beasts wreaking havoc under the cover of night and in the chaos, Ushiwakamaru didn't offer much explanation, only briefly stating:

"Let's take down those monsters first."

"Yes!"

Fujimaru Ritsuka immediately nodded in agreement.

"Then I'll go first!"

The moment he received the response, Ushiwakamaru rushed out and arrived in front of the monsters at an extremely fast speed, his footsteps constantly weaving past them.

In the instant the two figures crossed paths, sword light flashed, and in the blink of an eye, the three-headed monster's head was severed.

But Ushiwakamaru didn't stop for a second and continued running towards the other magical beasts.

Whoosh whoosh—

Just then, several whooshing sounds passed by her. The next moment, the magical beasts that were originally her targets fell to the ground without any time to react, and were lifeless.

"This is……?"

Ushiwakamaru was slightly taken aback and subconsciously looked towards the source of the attack.

Before Fujimaru Ritsuka stood a petite figure shrouded in black mist, holding a longbow. If nothing unexpected happened, the attack just now was launched by it.

Besides the powerful warrior from the daytime, how could he possibly summon such excellent archers?

However, before she could observe carefully, Fujimaru Ritsuka released the summons. Not many monsters had successfully invaded, and they had already wiped them out.

"Lord Ushiwakamaru, Miss Kudako!"

At this moment, Musashibo Benkei, who was fighting monsters on the other side, rushed over and said to them:

"Lord Leonidas is waiting for us on the city wall, let's go quickly."

"Yes!"×2

The three climbed the city wall and soon spotted Leonidas I, but their attention was immediately drawn to the view outside the wall.

The night was dark, and the wilderness outside the city walls looked chaotic, with only a faint sense of something surging like waves.

Upon closer inspection, one can discover that the true nature of those waves is an attack wave composed of tens of thousands, countless magical beasts!

"Those were just the advance party of the Warcraft; the real action is about to begin."

Gazing at the approaching horde of monsters, Leonidas I said in a deep voice:

"Playing the time difference? What a cunning fellow."

Like humans, monsters are still biological beings. They need to eat and sleep just like humans, and they are even more difficult to control. Therefore, in the past, most of their attacks were launched during the day.

This time, the opponent deliberately chose the time before dawn, so as not to completely deviate from the biological rhythms of the monsters, thus catching them off guard.

Fortunately, one of humanity's strengths is cooperation and organization. By taking turns patrolling 24 hours a day, a tragedy could not be averted.

only--

"General Leonidas, it's too dark now; it's difficult to aim firearms and the Seal of Authority!"

A squad leader quickly ran up to report.

"This is probably one of the reasons why the other side chose to launch an attack at this time."

The divine seal alone was not too bad. However, due to the enormous size of the turret, it was very difficult to change the angle of fire. Most of the time, it could only aim at the general direction and could not pose a strategic threat. Therefore, the enemy had not paid much attention to it before.

However, the other side has probably realized the enormous advantages that firearms bring recently, which is why they came up with this move to restrict both firearms and the seal of divine authority in one fell swoop.

Leonidas I hesitated for a moment, then quickly gave the order:

"Then let's wait until they get a little closer before attacking, and keep the formation unchanged."

"Tell the soldiers not to panic. The worst-case scenario is that we'll just go back to the initial combat mode!"

"Yes!"

After arranging the soldiers, Leonidas I looked at them, first addressing Ushiwakamaru and Musashibo Benkei:

"As always, the defense of the city walls is in your hands."

Ushiwakamaru smiled and said:

"Rest assured, I will make sure they never return!"

"please."

Leonidas I nodded, then looked at Fujimaru Ritsuka and said:

"Gudako-san... speaking of which, you said before that you could change the weather, so could you find a way to make the moon show?"

"It should be no problem."
