A Frontline Soldier Awakened as a Gamer In The War! - FSAGW Chapter 41 (Part 1)

Crash!

Kwaaaaah!

“Whoa! Back away!”

“Move quickly!”

The fortress known as the Great Canyon had completely collapsed.

The fortunate thing was that thanks to the Multi-Haste magic, more than half of the soldiers had successfully escaped.

“It’s really fortunate… thanks to the Multi-Haste magic scroll.”

If Kaiyan hadn’t used the magic scrolls, more than half of the surviving soldiers would have been buried along with the fortress.

It was truly a miracle that such a magic existed. However…

“What was that just now? I felt myself getting faster.”

“It seemed similar to the Haste magic we’ve heard about, right?”

Some of the soldiers who had escaped from the Canyon were discussing magic.

It was unrealistic to hope that they wouldn’t notice the sudden increase in speed.

“As long as they don’t suspect that I used it.”

Since the 7th Special Unit had used the magic scrolls before exiting, they were unaware that magic had been used.

But if the soldiers kept murmuring like that, it would be suspicious, especially for the old knight, if no one else.

“But… the fortress has collapsed. Panielun Fortress…”

“This is unbelievable.”

“The fortress that withstood for hundreds of years…”

“Is this what we call fortunate?”

The collapse of the fortress was so shocking that the soldiers stopped talking about magic.

It was inevitable since one of the pillars that had protected humans from monsters for hundreds of years had crumbled. Despite numerous monster waves, such a thing had never happened before.

The morale of the soldiers had plummeted along with the fortress.

“…It’s over. There’s no way to stop them anymore.”

“We’re all going to die.”

Shouts of despair filled the air more than cries of survival. The ones who had plunged them into despair were…

“Kaaaah!”

“Eeek!”

“Harpies…”

The harpies dominated the sky.

Unlike other monsters that entered the points without knowing the collapse of the fortress, these creatures continued to linger in the air.

By the looks of it, they were clearly aware of what they had done. No, it was precisely because of the harpy queen.

“Where on earth did they get those things from?”

Black masses that caused powerful explosions.

He had never heard of such things existing in his life. That small mass caused such powerful explosions.

“The harpy queen… She’s truly dangerous, to the point where the Orc Lord would look cute.”

The monsters, who had been foolish and simple, had become so threatening under the influence of the harpy queen.

Now we have to stop those creatures without the help of the fortress. And with only half of the remaining soldiers.

“Soldiers!”

At that moment, a booming voice that could soothe the cries of despair echoed through the gorge.

It was a voice so grand that it was hard to believe it belonged to a human.

“Form up, everyone! The magical runes in the underground of the fortress are still intact! We’ll risk our lives here and stop them!”

As they turned their gaze in the direction of the voice, they saw a person wearing splendid plate armor, with a silver crown on their head instead of a helmet, standing atop the rubble.

“Commander… It’s the commander of Panielun!”

“Commander of Panielun!”

“Commander!”

“That person is…”

The person with the silver crown. They were the Supreme Commander of the Panielun Allied Forces.

The soldiers of the Allied Forces who recognized him all shouted until their voices went hoarse, calling him “Commander.”

“Holy Crown.”

The crown he was wearing was the Holy Crown created with the consent of all the human kings on the continent.

The silver crown, which only those who carried out sacred missions could wear. His proclamation lifted the spirits of the weary soldiers once again.

“That’s right! We’re not defeated yet!”

“Form up! The only monsters left are the harpies! It’s a fight worth giving our all!”

“We can’t lose to mere monsters!”

With his presence alone, the morale of the Allied Forces, which had been plunged into despair, quickly rose again.

“…Impressive.”

Honestly, although he had brought the soldiers with him, after that, he was at a loss as to what to do. There was no fortress, and the morale wasn’t particularly high either.

But when the Supreme Commander appeared, the morale that had hit rock bottom surged again. It proved the deep trust he had built with the Panielun soldiers.

“What… What’s going to happen? Aren’t we supposed to run away? Say something!”

“Tarien, calm down for a moment!” The old knight sternly said.

Contrary to him, Tarien was unable to keep his composure since the moment the fortress collapsed.

“It’s hard to believe that he’s a noble.”

What an amazing person he is.

“Huff…! Waaaaah! Let’s kill those bastards!”

In return, Kaiyan shouted his lungs out, hoping that his voice could reach the entire unit.

“K-Kaiyan…”

As he suddenly raised his voice, a ripple spread through the 7th Special Unit, which had been quieter than the Allied Forces.

If the commander is someone the Allied Forces can trust, then his 7th special unit can put their trust…

“That’s right! Let’s give it a shot! It’s just harpies! Let’s kill them!”

“Yeah, let’s kill them! Let’s kill every last one of them! Waaaaah!”

“We survived even in that fierce combat zone, so we can’t die here!”

In him.

The soldiers, as if responding to his shouts, one by one, yelled their lungs out toward the harpies, instantly regaining their lost momentum.

With this, they have averted the worst situation. Though they don’t have a fortress, as long as their morale is high, they can easily deal with small-scale monsters.

Kwaaaaah!

The harpies, as if they didn’t like the sight of them, began screaming and descending.

There were tens of thousands, no, at least over a hundred thousand.

Clearly, even though many harpies were killed yesterday, there were more of them than before. It’s obvious that the harpy queen brought more of her kind from somewhere.

“Archers, assign zones according to the orders of the point commanders and shoot your arrows! Don’t harm our allies under any circumstances!”

“Archer Unit 76, cover this airspace!”

“Archer Unit 41, cover this airspace!”

As the Supreme Commander’s orders were issued, the point commanders quickly designated their zones and dispersed.

As expected, they were veterans who faced no obstacles.

“Knights! We’re an infantry unit, so let’s support the other units!”

“Understood!”

There’s no time to explain and persuade Tarien, who is currently in a state of confusion.

Fortunately, the old knight seemed to have made the same judgment as him and directly commanded the soldiers to protect the archers who were nearby.

“It would be better for Tarien to stay put and help.”

Considering the current situation, where they are at a significant disadvantage, they need to avoid any unnecessary loss of power. It’s not a situation where they can tolerate the sloppy commands of noble children like in the Gami-an Plain.

Kiaaaaah!

“Now! Shoot them all down!”

As the descending harpies entered the range of the arrows, the Supreme Commander ordered the soldiers.

Thud! Thud! Thud!

Tens of thousands of arrows shot toward the sky.

If there was a slight disappointment, it was that the effectiveness of the bows was reduced since the targets were in the air.
