Reincarnated into a Game As the Hero’s Friend

Chapter 213.2

The ground-shaking vibrations and footsteps that accompanied the demons’ screams and yells along with the mercenaries’ spirited voices as their massive bodies moved made Welner’s ears ring with pain and his headache.

Each of them, including Welner himself, had changed their weapons to their specialty, so they had a good grasp of the situation. It was as if they were running around in a chaotic situation with elephants running amok, wielding weapons and hurting their opponents.

“…It’s a wild idea, but that’s the way to do it.”

Welner could not think of any other good ideas at present. He had some concerns for a moment, but as long as they disabled some of the Cyclopes, they couldn’t continue to throw their forces into the interior of the royal capital in the literal sense.

“Neurath, Schunzel, you guys fight while protecting the wounded, don’t worry about me!”

“Ye, yes!”

Welner was in a hurry. After giving instructions to Neurath and the others, he ran through the crowd and got under the belly of Mubrial’s huge body. He thrust his spear into the ground, pulled out a spare magic whistle from his magic bag, and blew it loudly under Mubrial’s belly.

Immediately, there was a different commotion than before. Cyclopes around Mubrial rushed toward him, and their huge bodies hit Mubrial so hard that he turned his head away from the royal capital, not understanding what had just happened.

Mubrial, who was a senior-level leader, was immune to the effects of the magic whistle. However, it did have an effect on the surrounding Cyclopes. Cyclopes, obscured by the whistle at close range, rushed forward, crashing into Mubrial because of his huge size.

Later, the newly created Dark Knights and Bicorns that heard the sound of the whistle also rushed towards Mubrial. Mubrial, under the illusion that he was being attacked by the enemy, struck the demons in the opposite direction. An indescribable havoc broke out further in the center of the demon army’s core troops.

Welner abandoned his whistle under the belly of the Mubrial and took up the spear, piercing the Bicorn that rushed towards him. It screamed and fell backward, and was struck by Cyclopes.

At the same time, the mercenaries attacked the Cyclopes, which turned their backs, and the Cyclops, having lost its vision, swung their arms aimlessly at the mercenaries, hitting the Dark Knights instead.

Mubrial writhed uncomfortably. Welner rolled on the ground, ducked, and clashed spears with a Dark Knight who approached him amidst the confusion.

Welner thrust his spear several times, sliding its tip at the armor of his opponent, but his opponent ignored the damage and continued to slash at him. Welner caught the heavy blow, parried it, while using the momentum to distance himself from his knight-suited opponent while being mindful of the surrounding noise and Mubrial’s movement above his head.

“As expected of a mob demon from the latter half of the game, strong.”

Welner acknowledged the difference in cold sweat. He had to admit that it was quite difficult to win a one-on-one fight against this opponent. But the reason he was able to even last so far was because Welner himself had gotten stronger.

Although he was unaware of it, he had fought together with Mazell, a hero who had defeated the Demon General Gezarius in Anheim, and it was Welner who had killed Juliane. Welner was stronger than the average knight.

In this one-on-one fight, Welner would have to fight with all his might, but ironically, Mubrial saved him. Irritated by the surrounding commotion, Mubrial started stomping and knocking away the Cyclopes, which refused to stop their rampage.

Mubrial’s huge body and massive legs shook the earth as he moved around, making it difficult for Welner and his foe to make a move as well as the others in their surroundings. Welner also had to fight while moving around to avoid being trampled by Mubrial.

Sometimes the vibrations would even cause Welner to lose his balance, but because of this, neither side could deal a decisive blow because his opponent was also suffering the same effect.

Meanwhile, the battle situation around them changed again. From the ramparts, with ballistas and crossbows resuming fire on the enemy below the city.

At about the same time, Marquis Nolpoth rallied his men and launched a powerful counterattack, cutting off the enemy forces from the south, and the knights in the north also regrouped, crushing the newly manifested demons and cutting into the demon army.
