The northern front.
Kotori looked down from high above.
On the ground below the city wall.
A dark, dense mass.
But that's not what bothers her the most.
What she cared about was the size of those black dots.
Although the previous monster army was large in number, most of them were ordinary-sized grunts.
A dozen or so Ushumgallu are already considered large individuals.
And today.
Below the city wall.
It was densely packed with beings whose size far exceeded that of ordinary magical beasts.
Ushumgallu is no longer an "elite minority," but an ordinary unit.
Dozens of them advanced side by side.
Even beings of the Babylon mythical beast level, Mushussu, appear in large numbers.
A dozen or so headed in a row.
as well as.
In the very center.
Kotori's gaze locked onto that figure.
Its size was larger than all the surrounding magical beasts.
Its upper body is that of an adult male, with a long, dark beard and a solemn face, unlike other monsters that have a ferocious appearance.
But its lower body is that of a scorpion.
Its heavy, dark brown carapace reflected a metallic sheen in the sunlight.
A pair of enormous pincers.
A curved scorpion stinger was at the end of its tail, and some kind of liquid was dripping from the tip of the stinger. When the liquid dripped onto the ground, the soil made a "sizzling" corrosive sound.
It did not charge forward, but instead stood at the rear.
The scorpion's stinger rose slightly, as if giving a command.
And the monsters surrounding it.
Under its command, they advanced towards the city wall in an extremely orderly formation.
Their attacks were organized, rhythmic, and conducted in waves and tiers.
What's that?
Kotori muttered to herself.
She had never seen anything like this in anime or games.
On the city wall.
Leonidas I's expression had never been so solemn.
"All soldiers, listen to my command!"
His voice echoed on the city wall.
"Not a single step back!"
" The Sparta and Uruk people don't have the habit of fleeing!"
The soldiers regained their footing at his roar.
But their hands were trembling.
The monsters that surged up from beneath the city walls.
Both in terms of quantity and size, they are large enough to inspire despair.
" Leonidas!"
Ushiwakamaru and Benkei had already reached the city wall.
Tomoe Gozen followed closely behind.
All three of them simultaneously focused their gaze on the scorpion-man below the city wall.
What is that?
Ushiwakamaru asked a question.
"Have no idea."
Leonidas shook his head.
"But judging from its command style, that guy is the commander of this group of magical beasts."
The words had barely left his mouth.
Fuuma Kotarou and Amakusa Shirou also arrived from behind.
Amakusa Shirou glanced at the situation on the battlefield.
His expression changed.
"This number... plus that scorpion-shaped individual..."
Even if all six of us went, we might not be able to hold them off.
No one objected.
Because that's the truth.
"Waaaaah--!"
The monster army below the city walls launched its first attack.
Dozens of Ushumgallu charged ahead, spitting corrosive venom at the city wall.
The venom landed on the city wall, instantly corroding deep pits into the stone bricks.
"Raise your shield!"
Leonidas roared.
The soldiers raised their round shields.
But those shields were simply no match for attacks of that level.
The venom pierced through the shield and landed directly on the soldier.
A scream rang out.
"Damn it--"
Leonidas leaped off the city wall.
Landing.
A round shield sweeps horizontally.
It directly knocked the three charging Ushumgallu away.
The spear followed, piercing through the head of one of the snakes that Mushussu.
But he had just landed.
More monsters had surrounded him from three directions.
Ushiwakamaru and Benkei also jumped off the city wall.
Benkei's massive razor swept across, forcing back a horde of charging monsters.
Ushiwakamaru's katana weaved through the horde of monsters, each strike taking a life.
Tomoe Gozen stood on the city wall, firing arrows in rapid succession.
Each arrow glowed red and hit its mark precisely.
But that's not enough.
There are too many Warcraft monsters.
Moreover, these were not the same grunts as before.
Each Ushumgallu requires at least two to three arrows to take down.
The poisonous mist from the multi-headed serpents spread across the battlefield, and soldiers fell in droves.
Leonidas was surrounded by five or six large magical beasts. Although he was not in immediate danger, he was being held back.
Ushiwakamaru and Benkei were separated in two directions.
The situation is deteriorating.
And in the sky.
Kotori Itsuka just flew like that.
Observe with indifference.
She had no intention of interfering.
What does it matter to me whether these Uruk people live or die?
In the original story, Ritsuka Fujimaru will come to repair the Singularity.
I don't need to do anything.
Scorpion Sage Kitablil.
It stood at the rear of the monster army, its gaze sweeping across the entire battlefield.
Leonidas's position, Ushiwakamaru's movement trajectory, Benkei's defensive range, Tomoe Gozen's shooting angle, Amakusa Shirou's support route, and Fuuma Kotarou's hiding position.
It recorded everything.
Then.
Its stinger twitched slightly.
The dozen or so Mushussu around them simultaneously changed direction.
They surrounded the position where Asahi Amakusa Shirou was located.
Amakusa Shirou was treating wounded soldiers in the rear.
He sensed the approaching monster.
Turn your head.
More than a dozen scorpion tails from Mushussu simultaneously lunged at him.
He had time to block with both hands.
However, Amakusa Shirou's fighting style has never been good at close-quarters combat.
Pierced by more than a dozen scorpion tails.
He blocked the first three.
The fourth one pierced his left shoulder.
The fifth one slashed across his abdomen.
He dodged the sixth one by sidestepping.
Amakusa Shirou's body flew backward and crashed heavily into a protruding rock.
Blood gushed from his left shoulder and abdomen.
" Amakusa Shirou Shiroden!"
Ushiwakamaru noticed the situation during the battle.
Her expression changed.
Benkei!
"Exist!"
"Protect Amakusa Shirou -dono!"
"Yes--!"
Benkei immediately abandoned his current position and rushed towards Amakusa Shirou's direction.
His massive body blocked Amakusa Shirou's path.
Several pursuing Mushussu back by his razor.
Ushiwakamaru glanced at Amakusa Shirou, who was being protected.
Then she made a decision.
"Decapitation strike tactic."
She said it in a low voice.
If this kind of attrition continues, Uruk will only be the loser.
The six Servant were divided and surrounded by the monster horde, and each of them was fighting a fierce battle.
The only breakthrough.
That's the scorpion-man commander.
If you kill him, the monster horde will lose its leader and revert to disorganized, scattered soldiers.
Ushiwakamaru took a deep breath.
Then she disappeared.
This is a technique for explosive acceleration.
Her body slipped through the gaps in the monster horde, rushing straight towards the scorpion-man.
The monsters didn't have time to react.
Her speed has exceeded their perception limits.
Ten meters.
Five meters.
Three meters.
The scorpion raised its pincers.
But Ushiwakamaru is faster.
" The Tale of the Wandering Shana-oh, Scene Four."
Her voice rang out during the sprint.
"Dannoura: Eight Boat Jumps!"
In an instant.
Ushiwakamaru's figure split into eight.
Each one is exactly the same as the original Ushiwakamaru.
A black and white samurai outfit.
He held a katana in his hand.
Eight figures charged toward the Scorpion Man from eight different directions simultaneously.
Moreover, it is a clone with a physical form.
It's impossible to tell which one is the original.
The scorpion-man's eyes narrowed slightly.
It didn't panic.
Eight figures arrived in front of it almost simultaneously.
The eight sword strikes landed simultaneously from eight different angles.
The scorpion's massive claws swept across.
It blocked the three frontal attacks.
The scorpion's tail bends and thrusts backward.
They forced back the two figures behind them.
But the remaining three cuts had already reached its carapace.
"Clang--!"
Sparks flew everywhere.
The katana struck the scorpion-man's carapace.
Several cracks appeared on the shell.
But it's just a crack.
It didn't cut through.
"Hard."
The word popped into Ushiwakamaru's mind.
The shell was much harder than she had imagined.
The scorpion-men gave them no time to react.
Its massive claws snapped shut, attempting to clamp down on the nearest clone.
The clone barely dodged.
The scorpion's tail simultaneously lashed out from another angle, forcing back the other two attacks.
Its movements were so agile that it didn't seem like a creature of such enormous size.
and.
Its stinger was twitching.
He issued some kind of command to a small group of magical beasts in the vicinity.
A dozen or so Mushussu direction.
They surrounded the area where Ushiwakamaru was located.
Ushiwakamaru spotted the returning magical beasts.
Once you're surrounded by them.
It's impossible to escape once it has wings.
" Yoshitsune Yoshitsune--!"
Benkei's voice came from afar.
He wanted to rush over and help.
But at his feet.
And there's Amakusa Shirou.
Ushiwakamaru asked him to protect Amakusa Shirou.
Benkei looked at Amakusa Shirou lying beside the rock.
Then he looked at Ushiwakamaru, who was surrounded.
His face was filled with conflict.
He really wanted to rush up and fight alongside Lord Ushiwakamaru.
But he cannot act on his own.
He promised Lord Ushiwakamaru that he would protect Amakusa Shirou- dono.
