My Magical System

Chapter 271 - 271 Hopeless situation



271 Hopeless situation

Lieutenant Davis was contemplating inside his temporary headquarters. While resting his elbow on the table and clenching some of his hair, he looked somewhat exhausted as his gaze was on the report in front of his eyes.

“Sir, the monster’s number has never decreased. In fact, more and more are coming,” one of his trusted men reported in a solemn expression. “Please, sir, get out of this town along with our men before the monsters take over the entire place.”

Lieutenant Davis knew exactly the gravity of their situation. With the current standing, it was very likely to happen that the monsters would overrun the town any moment from now.

It wasn’t only because of lack of equipment or supplies, but also their exhausted magical power already took over everyone.

Lieutenant Davis knew that at this rate, only a miracle could save them from this situation. But, is there such a thing as a miracle? Of course, the Lieutenant knew that chances for that to happen is closer to zero.

With such thought in his mind, the Lieutenant let out a sigh. He looked through the window, towards the distance. It was already dark. He also saw the snowflakes were falling continuously.

Even with such the current situation, Lieutenant Davis returned his gaze at his subordinate with an unwavering determination.

“No. I will die along with everyone.” Lieutenant Davis just could not turn his back towards the people in this town. The ordinary people who had no means to protect themselves.

“B-But Lieutenant Dav—”

.....

Cutting his subordinate’s words by standing up, he

took his sword that was leaning nearby and said, “Let’s go. Let’s see what we can do. At this point, we can only fight till the last drop of our strength.” He could only struggle a little longer until the help from the Skyblaze family arrived.

His subordinate frowned before he followed him. He looked up at him. There were many strong people in the empire, but only few with such courage to brave the danger.

Seeing the Lieutenant’s courage, a glint returned in the subordinate’s eyes.

“Okay, sir!”

Arriving on the battlefield, they saw their barricades breaking up and the defending people were trying to fend off the attacking monsters by throwing fires at them. Yet, the monsters did not retreat. As though most of them were in a frenzy and had no sense of fear of death.

Ahh!

A soldier cried out when one monster stepped on its kind and used the chance to leap so high and arrived on the other side. The monster went directly towards one of the defending soldiers.

Noticing it, the soldier’s face lost all colors as he stared above with wide eyes and agape at the monster silhouette.

Hii!

He could only produce an inaudible cry but could not move due to the speed of the event. When the monster was finally about to smash him into a pulp, another silhouette suddenly arrived and pushed the soldier away.

Then,

Peng!

A clashing noise was heard. When they looked, they saw their Lieutenant standing in front of the 6-footer ape-like monster that was surrounded by a sinister aura.

“Lieutenant!”

“Ah! Lieutenant!”

Seeing the Lieutenant, everyone called out.

“Let’s protect this town till our last breath!” Shouted the Lieutenant as he summoned his strength to push the monster away.

The ape-like monster looked surprised. It stared at him with bloodshot eyes. But, the Lieutenant drew an arc in the air towards the monster. His sword cut the monster’s arm from its shoulder.

GWAR!

An ape-like monster cried out in a deafening roar as muddy black blood tinted the white snow. On the contrary, the defending group looked at him in awe.

“The Lieutenant is very strong…” muttered one of the soldiers around.

The monsters looked at the Lieutenant angrily with their sharp fangs showing.

As though that was the cignal, the final defence line finally crumbled to pieces.

Then they scampered towards the defending personnel like raging predators.

Some strong-looking monsters rushed towards the Lieutenant. Perhaps in their minds the Lieutenant was dangerous that was why they needed to take him down first.

Seeing the five hideous beasts approaching him in a hard stomping run, Lieutenant Davis remained standing as his sword raised above. The Lieutenant calmly used his skill in the sword to produce brilliant energy around it.

Woosh~

Energies in golden color spiraled on his sword while producing a gushing sound effect. Arriving at the range of his sword, the Lieutenant pulled down his sword.

“Take this!”

[Furious Blizzard Strike!]

There was a thunderous rumbling after that. As if a blizzard befell all the nearby monsters. The snow around him was furiously scattering away due to the extreme invisible pressure generated by his sword skill.

At that moment of attack, the surrounding area brightened up due to the magical force of his attack. All the monsters around him could be seen shredded to pieces like puzzle pieces till they broke into nothing.

The five monsters along with the other monsters around had disappeared, leaving nothing, not even their cores.

The soldiers and other groups looked with wide eyes at the Lieutenant. As expected of a Lieutenant, he was on another level compared to them.

“Everyone! Don’t falter! Let’s destroy all of them!” The Lieutenant shouted after taking a huge breath.

“Don’t let them pass!”

“Ahh! They’re breaking our defense line!”

“Let’s kill them!”

With such chaotic shouts, the battle against the monsters sparked once again.

“Hern! Take some of our men and build another defense line at the final point!” Lieutenant shouted at his trusted subordinate.

“B-but…” the soldier called Hern looked hesitant. It was natural that he was hesitant because it also meant that some of their men would be sacrificing their lives here to obstruct the monsters for a while to give them time to build another defense line.

Hearing the Lieutenant’s command, it was easy to understand that he was one of the people who would be sacrificing his life here.

“I will try to buy you time as much as I can!”

As expected, he was truly intending to sacrifice himself here.

Noticing Hern did not move a single step, “What are you waiting for?! GO!!!” Lieutenant Davis shouted.

Hern then summoned magical energies and slashed the monster in front of him.

Gwar!

The wolf-like monster cried out and died after its body was sliced in half. He gasped for air after killing it.

After that, he called some of his fellow soldiers and they rushed to the back without looking behind them. Tears were visible at the corner of his eyes. That attack just now was the last magical attack he could produce with his current state.

Seeing their running figures, Lieutenant Davis secretly sighed. If only the monsters gave them a little more time, they would probably be able to defend this barricade till the additional help from Dona family arrived, or if lucky, they might as well be able to last till the help from the Skyblaze family arrived. That was if they would choose to help them.

At this moment, their barricades had completely crumbled to pieces and most of the monsters were able to surround them.

Lieutenant Davis could only grit his teeth as he rolled his eyes at the monsters around him.

“What a hopeless situation…” he muttered, then bang!
