A Frontline Soldier Awakened as a Gamer In The War!
Chapter 34: (1)

The silver bracelet hanging on his wrist.

It wasn’t an ordinary bracelet but a player item that Rieka, the beginner’s guide, emphasized checking.

‘I spent a whopping 500G on this.’

He bought this bracelet to compensate for his lack of archery skills, but originally, his plan was to buy a bow.

After all, the bow was the most helpful for archery.

“Sigh…”

The problem was that he couldn’t see the appearance of the bow until he purchased the item.

What if the purchased bow was shiny and gleaming?

‘It would raise suspicion if an ordinary soldier carried such a bow… in a bad way.’

Although Tarien’s bow, which was given to him, was also eye-catching, it was officially received by the nobles. There was no need to care about others’ gazes.

So, instead of a bow, he bought this bracelet.

‘Saragana’s Fury.’

The name of this bracelet. Maybe it was because he was quite angry at that time, he felt drawn to it and boldly made the purchase.

An item with an enormous price of 500G.

If it weren’t for the Orc Lord, it would be an item that could only be purchased by hunting on the Plain to the end of the monster wave.

‘But the effect is exceptional. I made a good purchase.’

The first thing he felt after purchasing the bracelet was that the player system never disappointed the user.

‘He should have bought it earlier… Item Check.’

Player items had a slightly special function.

Saragana’s Fury (C)

Type: Bracelet

Stats: Strength +15, Agility +15

Item skill: Fury

If the player wanted, they could directly check the item’s stats.

To think that his stats would increase by a total of 30 just by equipping one item.

Those were stats that would require leveling up a whopping 15 times to obtain. And there were even new skills he hadn’t seen before.

‘However… there is one regret.’

There was no description of the Fury skill.

By looking at the name, he guessed that it instantly increased his stats for a moment, but he couldn’t be a hundred percent certain since he hadn’t used it yet.

‘Well, the stat increase alone is sufficient. It should be enough for dealing with airborne monsters.’

Although the item didn’t provide significant help in handling the bow more skillfully, he was satisfied with the fact that he could shoot the bow stronger and faster due to the stat increase.

Moreover, this bracelet’s abilities would be a tremendous help when using a sword.

“Gather around, everyone. I will teach you how to deal with aerial monsters.”

While lost in various thoughts, Uncle Max, who was taking a rest, gathered the soldiers.

“I will teach you ways to survive… no, absurd ways to avoid death in Panielun. So, listen as if it’s survival know-how.”

‘Survival know-how…’

Certainly, Uncle Max was the only one among the soldiers of the 7th Special Unit who had experienced Panielun, so his advice was worth remembering. S~ᴇaʀᴄh the NʘvᴇlFɪre.ɴet website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of nøvels early and in the highest quality.

As all the soldiers’ attention focused on him, Uncle Max calmly began speaking.

“First, let’s skip the Harpy Queen… and talk about how to defeat other aerial monsters. Unlike the plains, you all should have realized that fighting monsters in the fortress is different.”

Of course, unless they were fools, they would know that if they had checked the fortress.

‘Otherwise, there would be no reason to turn the canyon into a fortress.’

One soldier with short brown hair raised his hand and opened his mouth, looking curious.

“Yes. So, are we going to fight in those holes scattered throughout the canyon?”

“That’s right. There are about 1,000 defense points, as far as I know. We will be assigned to one of them and protect it.”

1,000 points.

Indeed, it was a tremendous number that matched the scale of the canyon.

“Which place do you think is the most dangerous among them?”

“Well… wouldn’t it be the top? Since they are airborne monsters…”

“Heh heh, no. The most dangerous place is below. Conversely, the safest place is at the top.”

“…Why is that?”

The soldier with brown hair furrowed his brow, seemingly unable to understand.

“Because there are magic circles that attract monsters below. Why do you think aerial monsters choose to fight against the coalition forces in the canyon? They’re winged creatures.”

Of course, Kaiyan already knew the answer as he had entered before. But when he first heard this story from Uncle Max, he was quite surprised. The reason why battles took place in the Great Canyon was because of the magic circles.

“Well… the former Archmage and renowned hero supposedly created the magic circles in the underground of the canyon. Thanks to that, instead of the aerial monsters crossing over to the continent, they are drawn to the canyon and fight against the coalition forces. Naturally, the monsters are after the magic circles that exist underground.”

“Magic circles… I see.”

Why did the Archmage come up with such an idea? To attract aerial monsters to the canyon.

Then, how did people on the ancient continent block airborne monsters before that wizard created the magic circles?

“…If I get the chance, I really want to solve that curiosity.”

Kaiyan had already asked Uncle Max and the old knight about it, but even they didn’t know the facts.

To be precise, the old knight said there were no remaining records because it happened so long ago, in the very distant past.

“Now do you understand why I say the bottom is dangerous?”

“Yes… I understand.”

“Then I’ll continue. When fighting in the canyon, under normal circumstances, you must never go outside.”

“If outside…?”

“I mean the protrusions of the assigned locations. You could be hit by friendly arrows if you make a mistake. Ah! Be especially careful of the Giant Monster Weapons. Their power is fearsome.”

“…I see.”

Looking at the composition of the Panielun Coalition, with over 80% being archers, one could only imagine how many arrows would be fired.

Although the number of personnel was smaller compared to the Great Plain, with at least 500,000 soldiers, even if they shot one arrow each toward the monsters, it would be 80%, which is 400,000 arrows.

“The number is dizzying… 400,000 arrows.”

Considering the size of the canyon, it couldn’t be called a large number when thinking about the entire range. But just imagining 400,000 was an enormous, unimaginable number.

In Gami-an, there would be hundreds of ballistae and spells continuously being fired.

“I… I have a question! I don’t know how to shoot a bow, so what should I do?”

One soldier who was quietly listening to the conversation from the back carefully raised his hand and asked.

“Don’t worry about it. We were never meant to be an archer unit. It’s not like you were brought here to shoot a bow. You all roughly know this, but we came here to capture the Harpy Queen.”

“…I heard that she’s a dangerous one. Is it okay?”

As the conversation between the old knight and the carriage had been briefly relayed to the other soldiers, they also had a vague understanding that the Harpy Queen was dangerous.

“Sigh… There’s nothing we can do about that. If you want to blame someone, blame the commander.”

“…I guess so. We should blame the commander.”

Thus, another person who disliked Tarien appeared. No, to be precise, it would be more accurate to say that another person who was already angry with him increased.

“Depending on the commander’s orders, we will decide how to move, but one thing is certain. When defending the positions, we only need to stop the monsters that come close to the archers. We defend, and they attack. Keep it simple.”

That’s why the Panielun Coalition wasn’t composed entirely of archers. Although archers were effective in capturing airborne monsters, they were too vulnerable when the monsters got close.
