Positive little sun, magical girl, I am awesome

Chapter 442: Great Beast Tide

The stirring bell sounded so harsh, noisy and tireless in the night, and the sentry post was boiling in an instant. Bobby felt the rumbling vibration under his feet. He could not tell whether it came from inside or outside the wall, but as the magic fireworks for help shot into the sky and dyed the sky red for half a day, he could see the frightened face of the sentry on the city wall.

——It’s a great beast tide, and it’s night time!

Bobby struggled through the hurried crowd and returned to the barracks, where he quickly put on his armor and took up his weapon. At the same time, the magicians and guardians under the city wall had already gathered and climbed up the wall to meet the first wave of beasts.

The cold wind was like a knife, and the biting cold almost pierced through the heavy armor. It seemed that the goddess of luck was not on the side of humans today. There was no advantage in fighting at night. Once the cold wind passed, even the stars and the moon were obscured by the thick clouds. The night became even darker, and only the torches on the city wall were left swaying in the wind.

Suddenly, light condensed from the sky again, transforming into the shape of a spear, illuminating the huge bat wings, and then was thrown down suddenly by the guy holding it, like a huge arrow of light shooting straight into the black fog below!

The gargoyle that had just issued a warning attacked again.

"boom--!"

It was like a god pouring a vat of red-hot molten iron onto the ground. When the light spots splashed, a large area outside the defense line was suddenly illuminated. A void beast was pierced directly by a spear of light while running, and was nailed to the ground, letting out a painful and angry roar.

The gargoyle's attack acts as both a guide and an alarm, marking the direction of attack for everyone while warning: the enemy is very close!

The light magic flew into the air with a sharp whistle and suddenly exploded, illuminating a large area of vision. The figures of the void beasts were looming in the black fog, and their eyes flashed with faint green light. From a distance, they looked like a connected group of ghostly fires, which made everyone who saw it feel palpitating.

Low chanting sounds were heard everywhere, and above the city walls was a strong wind brought by the leaping magic elements. After the Void Beast rushed to a closer distance, fireballs, ice arrows, and lightning formed a gorgeous light net in the air and all smashed towards the monsters on the ground.

Explosions sounded one after another, countless Void Beasts were blown away, and many were killed or injured. But before everyone could breathe a sigh of relief, more Void Beasts rushed out from the black fog, stepping on the corpses of their companions and continuing to move forward!

Claire climbed up the city wall with horror in her heart, her knuckles turning white from the force of gripping the hilt of the sword - there were too many, and there seemed to be even more this year. Was this a counterattack by the Void Beasts in the face of years of pressure on the defense line, or was it just... they had bred more and more offspring, so they could come to harass at all times of day and night.

But the young general's face did not reveal anything. His voice was as steady as always, and he shouted loudly, "Guardians, please take cover! The call for help has been sent, we just need to hold on for a while longer!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he suddenly felt a flash of light in the corner of his eye. He turned his head and looked, his eyes widened immediately - in the distant sky, another red light shot up into the sky, and stayed above the dark cloud-covered night sky for a long time.

That is... to the west of the Golden Sands Outpost is... the Laughing Skull Bay Outpost? Is there danger there too?! Claire was in doubt and before he could react, he heard the exclamation of the people next to him. He followed the sight of some people and looked east again. There was another red light rising into the sky. That was the Pilot Whale Outpost where his mother was stationed recently.

Claire's heart sank. Three outposts were hit by a tide of beasts at the same time tonight!

But no matter how anxious he was at the moment, Claire's face still showed no trace of anxiety. The eldest son of the Duke of Bishop stood on the high wall, trying to stabilize the rhythm of defense, "Magicians, pay attention to the distance, don't let them get too close! Watch out for those ghosts climbing up on the corpses! We have to be the first outpost to deal with the beast tide tonight, and then laugh at those slow ghosts loudly, understand!"

"Understood!" The guardians who could only protect the magician at this moment responded loudly, even though they knew that this was just a word to boost morale.

Bobby stood at the foot of the city wall. All he could do was wait. Listening to the roars of the void beasts coming closer and closer like a tide, his palms were sweaty. Could those seniors hold on? Could they wait for reinforcements?

“Boom—” The last magic array trap outside the defense line was triggered, and the void beast was blown away by magic. Blood plasma splashed several meters high, and the broken flesh fell into the snow. It was quickly eaten by its companions, and the gap in the beast tide disappeared again...

An atmosphere of despair filled the air above the stone wall. After they ignored the power of the magic circle and forced their way through the last line of defense, everyone understood what they were about to face.

"My fellow countrymen! Take up your weapons!"

Bobby looked up and saw His Highness Claire drawing his sword and raising it above his head!

"-- We can't let them break through this wall. The first line of defense must not be breached!" Claire shouted harshly, his tone full of determination. He looked at the magicians on the city wall. In between chanting spells, they opened the potions and drank them desperately, not daring to waste a single moment of time.

"——We have to buy time for the magicians and other outposts. Please trust your partners! Now, all guardians, follow me and prepare to meet the enemy!"

Claire's voice was mixed in with the north wind, and Bobby, who was standing under the stone wall, could not hear it clearly, but he heard the unanimous response from the city wall, and -

There were uniform shouts coming from the door again. The mechanism on the heavy stone door was being turned by the guards at this moment. Bobby widened his eyes.

"Learn, Captain, Captain!"

Bobby caught up with Joan who was hurriedly coming down from the city wall. The girl's eyes were still as bright as when she won the college cup, but sharper. At this moment, she glanced at Bobby without stopping.

"Captain, I'm willing to fight! One more person is always better than one less!" Bobby's heart was beating as hard as a drum. He knew that this was the opportunity he had been waiting for for a long time. He could finally go out of the city to fight and prove that he was not just a rookie who did odd jobs.

"Follow me." Qiong pulled out the two daggers from his back and stared at the city gate that was slowly opening in front of him. The fishy and burnt smells immediately floated in.

"It may be the brilliant beginning of your outstanding achievements, or it may be a few words of eulogy at your funeral." Joan looked at the pairs of faint green lights in the distance and said without turning her head.

"I hope to see you again later, new recruit." After saying this, Joan rushed out under the guidance of Claire.
