Academy’s Weapon Replicator Episode 85 Chapter

25 Barrier (1)

The invasion of monsters continued.

It was natural for the purpose of the monsters interfering with the restoration of the wall.

However, despite preparations, the damage on the human side continued to accumulate.

The opponent is a monster from outside. No matter how small the number, casualties cannot be avoided.

People’s hearts gradually sink just by seeing the death of the person right next to them.

Above all, they have been fighting since before Frontier came.

My fatigue was already at its peak and my spirit was collapsing.

However, those who looked like they might collapse at any moment were still holding on.

The reason was because of Frontier.

“Hold on!! Just focus on what’s in front of you! Get ‘bird’ out of your head! “They are nothing but a bunch of dogs!”

As Frontier entered the war, the situation of the war changed, but the most noticeable thing was the air combat.

Knights and soldiers who were not slaves suffered the most damage from ‘winged things’ more than anything else. Because they can attack beyond the barrier.

Ordinary arrows cannot easily pierce the hard skin of a monster and it is difficult to hit them.

When those guys attack the knights and soldiers stationed on top of the wall, everything goes wrong.

Even if you suppress everything before reaching the barrier, there is no guarantee that will always happen.

In other words, everyone who fights is dealing with the monster in front of them, and at the same time, their nerves are being eaten away by the fear of not knowing when an attack will strike from above.

puck! Plop!

However, Frondier alone crushed all the troublesome wings.

He took out almost all of the flying monsters alone, and even if he missed some, the remaining people were enough to suppress them.

“Frondier! Move to the left! If possible, make sure there are monsters at their crash site!”

“I will try.”

As the situation progressed, Sanders gave separate instructions to Frontier.

It was a certification of Frontier’s ability, and Sanders’ loud cry was also a signal for the prisoners and soldiers below to hear.

Giving instructions to Frontier means that he is alive and well.

The troops fighting on the ground suddenly gained confidence. At least I am confident that there will be no attacks from above while Frontier participates in the war.

And one more thing.

‘No knight dies while I’m at Tavern.’

This statement from Frontier gave the knights more power than expected.

The prisoners die the most in this battle, but one knight’s life is more important than all of them combined.

He can partially command prisoners and soldiers, can fight against multiple monsters alone, and his morale on the battlefield does not fall as easily as that of prisoners or soldiers.

If there is a hole in the knight’s position, it means that the balance of the war itself is shaken.

But surprisingly, Frondier’s words, which started from a bet, were still being kept.

It’s been 10 days since Frontier came to Tavern. Among the knights, 0 people have died so far.

‘Hmm, because that guy woke up the knights.’

Hector, who was talking non-stop next to Frondier, thought.

Until Frondier arrived, the knights’ thoughts were also heading towards despair. I thought it was natural that one of the knights would die.

But Frontier said:

-Who among these people do you think will die? Is there anyone out there who wants to die?

Someone will die. Definitely on this battlefield.

Then who is that?

When you face that question, you will know it even if you don’t like it.

That someone can be you.

“Kill! Cut down without leaving a single one behind! “The monsters outside are good at deception!”

But today,

“Smash the heads of all the fallen!” “Don’t turn your back on me!”

Also, it is still said,

“The injured who can walk, come here!” Get rid of their bodies quickly! “Find someone who’s still alive!”

There were no deaths among the knights.

* * *

A meeting of the knights attended by the head of the household, Ridwi, and the princess, Aten.

“It’s ‘outside’ so there’s nothing wrong with it!”

“Originally, we were blocking them in front of the gate, but now we are trying to push them out!”

“I thought we were advancing again.”

“ha ha ha!”

Of course, before the meeting, the knights were excited and excited about this battle.

“Frondier was great. “Because I got rid of all those annoying things!”

“At first, I thought there was a guy with no blood on his head.”

“No, it’s true that the blood hasn’t dried. Isn’t that why you fight better? “Because my blood is running fast!”

There was also a barrage of praise for Frontier.

After Frontier came, fewer people died.

That simple fact was enough to overturn Frontier’s assessment.

Frontier was still winning the bet, and in fact the bet didn’t really matter anymore.

“…Hmm, okay. Today can be called a successful defense. “What do you think, Frontier?”

Sanders listened to the knights in silence and asked Frontier.

Frontier, who was just standing by, finally had the right to speak.

This was also an acknowledgment of Frontier’s contributions over the past ten days.

Casualties among prisoners and soldiers were kept to a minimum, and none of the knights were seriously injured, let alone killed.

It was a tough fight, but it’s not that bad. Frontier, who had made a remarkable contribution, slowly opened his mouth in front of those whose morale was high.

“The situation is not good.”

“….”

It was Frondier’s word that broke the atmosphere, the cold water, and the colic pain.

Frondier’s expression was too serious to just be indifferent.

“At the order of Director Sanders, we inspected the entire barrier from the left.”

Frondier pointed to the map placed on the center table.

“The right corner here has already become untenable.”

This was almost certainly something Frontier investigated through ‘analysis’.

The right side of the wall was now as precarious as Jenga, with only the last block remaining.

“Are you saying that you confirmed the defects in the wall during that busy battlefield situation? “With your eyes too?”

“That’s right.”

Frontier answers calmly. But the content was so unbelievable that Sanders turned his attention to Aten.

“What do you think, princess? “You inspected the wall.”

Aten raised his eyebrows and put his hand to his mouth. In a way, she was also surprised by Frondier.

“…It is true that the part that Sir Fron Roach pointed to is the weakest point of the wall. I just don’t know if it’s enough for Lord Roach to say that it will collapse right away…”

Aten’s answer made the atmosphere even more solemn.

Even though it is not certain that it will collapse right away, his credibility increases because Frondier and Aten are pointing to the same location.

Ridwi said.

“Then I guess we’ll have no choice but to lure the monster to one side. Gather the prisoners together. “That’s what I’ve done so far.”

Attracts monsters so that they do not touch weak parts of the barrier. If you place an archer on the other side, open the castle gate, and send the prisoners out, you will be able to extinguish the immediate fire.

But this time, Frondier shook his head.

“It won’t be easy.”

“What are you doing?”

“The part that I said was in danger is in a completely different state from the vulnerability of the other walls.”

“How dangerous is it to be different?”

“…okay. For example,”

Frondier then swept his entire hand around his mouth. He seemed to be contemplating what to say.

“If you hit any part of the wall now, the right barrier will collapse.”

“…!”

The crowd grew cold at those words. Some people’s eyes widened in surprise at what that meant.

It literally meant that the current barrier had reached its limit, like a sand castle where if a single pillar was touched by a wave, the entire wall would pour down.

The starting point is the right barrier.

“…Isn’t that too pessimistic? “Maybe you saw it wrong.”

Sanders said.

“It’s because I became anxious due to the rapid drop in casualties. “They neglected to check the barrier.”

Frondier’s words reminded everyone of the past ten days.

Frontier said it was his fault, but in fact, it was all of them’s fault. It was all the knights who slacked off and were lazy.

“…But the actual battle…”

Sanders said again.

The reason Sanders continued to put forward counterarguments was because, regardless of the facts, there was a problem of fraud.

Now all the knights are listening to Frondier’s words. There was a risk that morale would be shattered before the battle even began. Even if I was telling the truth, I had to move on from now on.

Frondier nodded, knowing his intention.

“Of course there are measures.”

“Measures?”

“Is there a solution?”

Sanders and Ridwi asked simultaneously. Because I couldn’t find an answer just listening to Frontier’s words.

“yes. If the wall is in danger of collapsing, it must be rebuilt. Even if it’s temporary.”

After speaking, Frondier looked at Aten.

“First, we need the princess’s help.”

“…It’s ice.”

Aten guessed the answer and said.

If there was enough time to develop the technique, it was possible to cover some walls with ice.

Moreover, it is extremely cold here even in the north. It won’t be a problem for ice to stick.

…But the problem was mana.

“…Maybe 30 minutes at most.”

Aten came up with an answer based on his own calculations.

As expected, the knights’ expressions did not brighten much. 30 minutes. It was too short a time to withstand the monster’s attack.

“yes. So we need one more person.”

“One more?”

“yes. Even if you can’t start from 0 and perform magic like the princess, it’s enough to just add mana to the created magic.”

“…Is there anyone like that?”

Frondier may sound easy, but just adding mana to someone else’s magic should be enough to remove the label of a beginner wizard.

“It’s not there yet, but there’s a guy who could become that in a short period of time.”

“A person like that… ah.”

Aten also said and guessed that much. Frontier nodded slightly as if that was the correct answer.

“Sibel. That guy can do it. “You can probably learn it in about 5 days.”

Ridwi, who was listening, couldn’t stand the absurdity and decided to change his mind.

“5 days? Saibel Is he some kind of undistinguished genius? Just feeling and handling mana would take an ordinary guy several months, but beyond that, injecting mana only takes 5 days?”

Of course, from the perspective of someone like Ridwi who knows the virtues of magic and has very common sense, this is nonsense.

But there was only one answer I could give.

“For Seibel, the term ‘unexalted genius’ is too poor.”

“….”

Ridwi looked at me in a daze, blinked, then looked at Aten.

Aten nodded without any expression. What I meant was that it was very obvious.

“──Assuming that is possible, what about the remaining 5 days?”

It was Hector who opened his mouth this time.

The invasion period of monsters is getting shorter. Hoping that the monster would not come within 5 days was more than just hope, it was a delusion.

Of course, my answer to this was very obvious.

“I will handle it.”

“…Huh?”

Hector asked back very innocently what I said.

So I explained it a little more kindly.

“We will eliminate all monsters before they reach the barrier.”
