Chapter 250: chapter 250- Horde Of Beast
"How's the situation, Sir?"
"... It's a Nightmare"
Sir Ignus replied with a worried face while looking at the dust cloud far away, created by the Horde of beasts running towards them.
"From the direction they came from, it seemed like the city of Ashdown had already fallen, while our strength had not fully recovered. Due to the previous Viking attack, the only troops that could move at the moment were, the troops led by that bastard Hans, he was nowhere to be seen when the Vikings attacked the city, and only appeared at the very end, I hate to admit it but his rank is higher than mine, just because his Background, he's coward to the core," Sir Ignus continued.
"Oh~ Was he also the one who ordered the gates to be closed?"
"... I don't have a choice"
Sir Ignus answered, then a soldier approached him and whispered something to him; hearing this, Sir Ignus nodded his head and then looked back at Taufik.
"... Sir, I'm sorry but Hans has asked about my Presence, A little advice, immediately go to a safe place for shelter, Then excuse me"
Sir Ignus said and then immediately turned his body around, but Taufik stopped him by asking.
"Sir Ignus, I have questions"
"I don't have much time, so please make it short, Sir"
"Will there be a problem if people outside the gate enter the city?"
Hearing Taufik's question, Sir Ignus pondered it for a while before answering Taufik's question.
"... Everything is safe as long as the gate is not open"
"I see, Thank you"
Said Taufik, and Sir Ignus nodded his head before leaving Taufik.
After Sir Ignus left, Taufik looked at the crowd of people in front of the gates begging to enter the City and then looked at the Horde of Beasts that was getting closer by the second.
'... Let's see, there were about hundreds of people below, and looking at the speed of the beasts, they would arrive in a few minutes; that was more than enough.'
Taufik thought, then turned his gaze to the line of soldiers behind the gate, and he also saw Sir Ignus who was talking to the person who had told Taufik and Marzuki to open the way; from the expression that Sir Ignus showed; it seemed like it was not a pleasant conversation.
'... Strange, why they didn't mobilize the soldiers yet? Even the Magician is still there, What are they planning? Well, that's none of my business; I'll just do my part and leave the rest to them.'
Taufik thought, then started to do something with his Imagination Magic.
'Imagination Magic - Gravity Manipulation and Space Manipulation!'
Said Taufik, and with a simple movement of his hand, hundreds of people outside the gate suddenly floated by themselves, seeing this the soldiers around Taufik were amazed, as were the people who floated, but with the addition of panicked screams, which immediately attracted everyone's attention including Sir Ignus and Hans who were behind the gate.
But in contrast to Sir Ignus who showed a relieved expression, Hans, on the other hand, didn't seem happy with what was happening.
"HEY! YOU!! MOTHERF*CKER!! WHAT ARE YOU THINK YOU'RE DOING?! PUT THEM BACK!! PUT THE SACRIFICE BACK OUTSIDE!!!"
Hans shouted, the soldiers around Taufik looked shocked when they heard what Hans said, in contrast to the soldiers and Magicians who came with Hans, who looked calm even with the terrible thing that their captain, Hans, had just said.
"HEY!! STOP IT!!!"
Hans shouted once more, but Taufik did not show any signs of stopping and continued to move the hundreds of people in the air, to move them into the city.
"... FUCK! SOLDIERS! GO STOP THAT MOTHERF*CKERS AT ALL COST; I DON'T CARE; I WANT HIM DEAD!!"
At Hans's command, the soldiers started running to climb the wall and the Magicians started preparing their spells.
Seeing this, Sir Ignus also looked panicked and then ran up the city wall to protect Taufik.
However, it seemed like he was a little too late because the Magicians under Hans's leadership had already finished casting their spells and were ready to launch their magic attacks, and the soldiers who were also under Hans's leadership had also approached Taufik first, seeing this, Sir Ignus shouted to his men.
"... PROTECT HIM AT ALL COST!!"
Hearing Sir Ignus's order, the soldiers under Sir Ignus immediately surrounded Taufik, with their weapons ready to repel the soldiers who were getting closer, filling both sides of them with large numbers.
"IGNUS! YOU KNOW THAT WHAT YOU ARE DOING IS A REVOLT! YOU KNOW WHAT AWAITS YOU IS THE DEATH PENALTY!!"
But as if not caring about Hans' warning, Sir Ignus continued to charge forward, passing Hans' soldiers who tried to stop him, even though Sir Ignus was arguably quite strong and could use Aura, the number of soldiers blocking him was very large and he also couldn't kill them because even though they were Hans' troops, they were still allies, and Sir Ignus didn't want to do something like that.
However, the Magician's magic attacks were already directed at Taufik and some were also directed at the hundreds of people who were still in the air. The soldiers around Taufik seemed willing to use their bodies as shields, and they could only hope that Taufik would do something to protect the people who were still in the air.
All kinds of magic attacks were directed at Taufik, from fire, water, earth, and wind magic to lightning magic, and all of them were directed at Taufik and the people Taufik was trying to help on a large scale.
"NOOO!"
Sir Ignus shouted in frustration when he saw the magic attack heading toward Taufik and the people who were still in the air. Sir Ignus, who couldn't stand what would happen next, could only close his eyes.
One second passed, two seconds, three seconds, until almost half a minute, and there was no sound of an explosion from the magic attack, feeling something strange, Sir Ignus opened his eyes, seeing that everything was fine Sir Ignus was confused, not only him, but everyone who witnessed this was also confused, even the Magicians were confused about this.
The area instantly fell silent with only the roars of the beasts and their footsteps running towards them being heard.
"... W-WHAT KIND OF SORCERY IS THAT?!"
Hans shouted, which made everyone aware; immediately, all the soldiers under Hans' leadership moved again to attack Taufik.
"MAGICIAN! ATTACK HIM AGAIN!!"
Hans' scream brought back the Magicians from their thought, who were still trying to process what had just happened, realized what they were doing, and assumed that what happened before was just an error on their part; the Magicians chanted spells again and fired magic attacks at Taufik.
But the same thing happened again; their Magic Attacks just disappeared again; at this moment, the magicians finally realized that it was not their fault, but Taufik, the person they attacked, must have done something.
The same thing also happened to the soldiers under Hans' leadership who tried to attack Taufik. They tried very hard to attack Taufik but when they tried to approach Taufik, some kind of invisible force pushed them back.
It should be remembered that the area around here has become Taufik's space, with just his thoughts, he can control anything that enters the space, so as long as he is still in the space, magical or physical attacks will never be able to hit Taufik.
At that time, Taufik had finished landing hundreds of people behind the walls of the city.
"... WH-WHY ARE YOU GUYS STOP ATTACKING! A-ATTACK HIM!! I SAID ATTACKING HIM!!!"
Hans said, but the soldiers and Magicians thought that their efforts were in vain; they thought Taufik might be a Magician in the Grandmaster Realm or even higher.
"
*Tsk*
You're so noisy, come here"
Said Taufik and with just one movement of his index finger, Hans then floated.
"WH-WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO DO TO ME? P-PUT ME DOWN!!!"
Hans said in panic, as Taufik brought him closer to him.
"... You said before that you'll make them as Sacrifice, right? What about you do it yourself? Let me help you"
Said Taufik, who then brought Hans, who was in the air, out of the city wall area.
Hans was shaking like crazy when he saw the horde of beasts that were only one or two kilometers away from reaching the outer walls of the city.
"... You wear shining white armor like a hero in legend, but your actions are like the demon king himself, someone must punish you, and I will gladly take on that role."
"N-No! P-Please forgive me, I'll give you everything you want, so please forgive me"
"No, Thank you, I already have everything I want"
Said Taufik and then simply let go of his control over Hans' body, which caused Hans to fall freely from a height.
"AHHH! NO!!"
Hans shouted in frustration, then fell to the ground and broke several bones in the process.
The Soldiers and Magicians under Hans couldn't do anything, not because they didn't want to, but because they couldn't.
Seeing Hans groaning in pain below, Taufik just snorted and turned his gaze to the horde of beasts.
Someone then approached Taufik's side, and that person was Sir Ignus, who then said.
"... This may be a little embarrassing to ask you, sir, but can you do anything about that horde of beasts?"
