A Frontline Soldier Awakened as a Gamer In The War!
Chapter 43: (1)

Pwook!

“She’s finished,” Kaiyan thought as he observed the harpy queen, whose body was pierced all over by the knights’ swords.

While her head wasn’t destroyed and her heart remained intact, surviving those injuries without the regenerative abilities of a troll was out of the question.

“Now, the harpies…”

“Heh heh heh! Clear the way, everyone! I, Tarien de Cheniavin, will finish off the harpy queen!” Tarien declared.

His aim was the harpy queen’s life.

To ensure that he wouldn’t lose his achievement like he did with the Orc Lord, he intended to personally end the harpy queen’s life. However…

“You fool! Protect Tarien!” an urgent voice with curses erupted from the old knight.

“Damn it. What a foolish guy! He should just be watching from behind!”

Kaiyan knew that the harpy queen hadn’t descended alone.

She had descended to the ground with thousands, no, tens of thousands of harpies.

She had merely arrived a little earlier than the horde due to her superior flight abilities.

“Kyaaahh!”

“Kyaahh!”

Gulp.

Before they could take any action, the sky darkened, and sharp, piercing screams echoed from all directions, assaulting their ears.

Covering the sky were tens of thousands of harpies, the surviving horde from the arrow onslaught.

“If I make a mistake, it won’t be Tarien who’s the problem, but me,” Kaiyan realized.

Due to Tarien’s sudden charge, the formation of the 7th Special Unit broke, and the knights formed a defensive line, protecting Tarien with a small group of shield soldiers.

The lives of the other soldiers meant nothing to them.

“Uncle Jeff! Uncle Max!”

“Kaiyan! This way!”

“Hurry!”

At that moment, Kaiyan trusted only the two uncles to have his back.

Thanks to their immediate response, they joined Kaiyan just before the harpies collided with the ground.

“Kyaahh!”

Kwaaahh- Sᴇaʀᴄh the NøᴠᴇlFire.nᴇt website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of nøvels early and in the highest quality.

The tens of thousands of harpies attacked the 7th Special Unit and the Panielun Alliance.

“Grk! Your queen is dead! So, scram!”

Pwoof-

With each swing of their swords, harpies fell one by one.

There was no need to deliberate on targets anymore. They swung their swords recklessly, hitting anything in their path and splattering blood. But there was a problem…

“There are too many.”

Even if it was tens of thousands, harpies were still small-sized monsters.

If they could hold out for a moment, the tens of thousands of Panielun Alliance soldiers would slaughter all the harpies.

The problem lay in whether the 7th Special unit, including Kaiyan at the center, could endure that long.

Pwohaak-

“This won’t do! We will fall before they do!”

Uncle Jeff, who swung his sword vigorously, bought them some time while glancing at Uncle Max and Kaiyan.

“What about you?”

“How should we approach this? Are you suggesting we break through here…?”

Phew!

“Of course not?”

“That’s right, Uncle Max is right! It’s impossible to break through here.”

“But… I can do it alone.”

If Kaiyan utilized his increased abilities, he was confident that he could endure some injuries and breakthrough.

The problem was that he couldn’t bring the uncles with him.

“That’s not it! Haaah!”

Kaiyan continued to create time by swinging his sword fiercely, even at the cost of his stamina, as if there was a good plan in Uncle Jeff’s mind.

“Is that so?”

Yes, if it’s the experienced and seasoned mercenary, he should have a plan.

“We go toward the center!”

“What?”

“The center where Tarien and the knights are!”

But contrary to Kaiyan’s expectations, the method Uncle Jeff suggested seemed extremely reckless.

Where do the harpies concentrate their attacks the most?

Right where the harpy queen is. And that place is where the knights and Tarien are.

But to go toward the center…

“No… Are you crazy? Are you out of your mind?”

Uncle Max seemed extremely bewildered and stared blankly at Uncle Jeff, apparently forgetting to use his shield to hold back the monsters.

“He’s not! We need to decide quickly. We won’t last long like this! We need help from the knights before it’s too late!”

“Kruhh… Do as you please! I’ll follow whatever decision you make.”

“…That’s right.”

Uncle Max seemed to have given up on thinking and raised his shield, striking the harpies more ferociously than before.

“Kaiyan, what about you?”

“Well, of course, I’ll follow, Uncle.”

“Then… Haaah!”

Pwoof-

Uncle Jeff, who had been defending in place, took a step forward and swung his sword widely, cutting down the harpies.

“Let’s go before it’s too late!”

“Yes! Leave the rear to us!”

“Phew… This must be what they’re good at, right?”

That’s how the somewhat reckless assault began.

“From a distance, it’s about 20m.”

Because the situation was such that Kaiyan couldn’t even see clearly what was one meter ahead due to the harpy horde, he couldn’t accurately predict where the knights were.

They moved towards the location where the knights first took their positions.

“Powerful Downward Strike!”

Paaahk!

“Kyaaahh!”

A harpy that was aiming for Uncle Jeff’s back shattered into pieces as it fell to the ground from Kaiyan’s sword.

“But Uncle Jeff…”

“Huh-hah!”

Uncle Jeff, who had mowed down several harpies with his sword, blocking the front with great vigor, turned back at Kaiyan’s call.

“What if… the knights try to escape?”

“Hmm?”

Perhaps unable to hear Kaiyan’s words amidst the harpies’ screams, Uncle Jeff stood still without a response.

“Uncle! I mean… what if the knights attempt to escape…”

“I heard you. I just didn’t think that far and got momentarily confused.”

“…”

In this place where the monsters’ screams echoed, Uncle Jeff and Kaiyan exchanged bewildered glances.

“Eek! What are you guys doing? Why are you standing still?”

Only Uncle Max, who couldn’t hear the conversation, was vigorously moving, pushing away the harpies.

“Well… it’s not like that. Please keep moving. Kaiyan, let’s go for now.”

“Yes.”

At first, Kaiyan thought Uncle Jeff’s decision was a mistake, but upon reconsideration, there was no better option available.

Otherwise, the only way was for him to escape alone, leaving the uncles behind.

“I can’t do that.”

Even if he survived alone, could that be considered living when he had to leave behind his two uncles, who were the closest family he had left in this world?

“I won’t abandon precious people anymore.”

With a firm grip on his sword, Kaiyan prepared himself.

Even if he dies here, they’ll die together, and if he lives, they’ll live together.

**** ****

Meanwhile, Tarien, the knights, and a small group of shield soldiers from the 7th Special Unit were in a very dangerous situation.

“Stay close together!”

The old knight blocking Tarien’s path was leading the small group of knights and soldiers, trying to withstand the terrifying onslaught of the harpy horde. However…

“Uwaaah! Save me!”
