Elysion Online ~The Dragonewt and The Summoner~
Chapter 169: Vehicle raid and goblin trap

So, we headed to the field as soon as possible. My members are Koihi, Konoha, Byakuya, Yuuga and Sabik. Then there was Mel´s group and Ruin-san´s group. That's 17 people. There are 13 of us left.

Rook, Tyrol and Reppuu each took out two summoned beasts and Raiden, the beastmaster, took out three tame monsters.

First of all, we had to reach King Kong's fort before we could talk, so the first step was suitable for scouting. The flying and wolf types were chosen.

"There is a sense of security~"

"Yeah...I'm sure this will work, right?"

"Don't worry, both of you. We don't want to be a burden or anything"

""I, I'll do my best""

When Ruin-san pulled herself together, Yuko-san said,

"Well, I'm sure this group will be fine! It's going to be easy"

"That's right. Then, Yuko should do her best with King Kong. I'm allergic to monkeys"

"You fought him at the event!?"

"Yuko doesn't know...the fear of that monkey's erotic face"

Apparently, Mel was targeted by King Kong. I was caught by an ordinary monkey and it may have been a terrible event.

"Well, you've got a trusty knight this time, so you should be fine"

"That's right. Keigo. Good luck"

"You're talking to me!? I mean, if you don't do your best, we have a different agreement!"

"I have a disease that will kill me if I fight a monkey"

"That's old news! I mean, you've been fighting monkeys too!"

"I just got sick"

"How is that possible?"

I'm telling you because there is.

Now, as we continued on our way, talking about such trivial things, we passed through the forest and came out on the meadow. The wolves are all on guard at the same time at the place where the forest continues on the other side.

"Takuto-oniichan...something's coming"

Koihi also warns.

"Everyone prepare for battle!"

"I'm going forward"

"Please. Be careful"

"Yes. Everyone, let's do this"

They all responded and took their fighting stances.

Mel and the others signaled with a glance and separated from each other. If you are not good at it, the cooperation will be broken.

Now, what's coming? As I was wondering, I heard a rattling sound.

"This is...I have a bad feeling"

And my bad premonition came true. Goblins appeared, but to my surprise, they were riding in carriages.

And not just one.

"Four...no, five are coming!"

Koihi told me the exact number. Thank God. But five carriages is a lot...and the Goblins that are riding in so many carriages are probably...

The Goblins take out their bows. I knew they were Archers!

"That's not good! Hurry up with wall spells!"

Ruin-san also ordered a wall spell. But it's just too late.

"Hoo!"

Then the bird squad led by Konoha attacked the Goblin Archers at once. Konoha, the best!

『Earth Wall!』

Multiple earth walls appeared. I'm not afraid of bows now. But the opposing carriages are also excellent. I fired my attack magic, but it couldn't damage the carriages.

If this happens, I'll just have to crash it.

That was when I thought about it. It seems that everyone has the same thought process.

『Bottomless Swamp!』

Everyone must have leveled up in the event. It wouldn't be surprising if they were able to use Bottomless Swamp. But I thought about this too and it's probably a bad idea.

Ruin-san and the others will keep attacking, but a carriage sunk in the mud is tricky. The magic doesn't work and the Wolves are unsure of what to do for fear of falling into the mud.

If this happens, it can't be helped.

"Byakuya, you can get into the carriage, can't you?"

"Gau!"

"Okay, Sabik, get Byakuya to take you. Is it too much for Koihi and Yuuga?"

"...Yes"

They both have droopy ears.

"If you can't do it, it's fine. The other party is coming with a carriage, so we just have to get rid of it. I'll leave you to deal with the Goblins”

"Yes!"

"Gau!"

I'll talk to Ruin-san and the others about it.

"I'll slip the carriages coming towards us. It might be dangerous, so please be careful"

"All right!"

"Everyone! We're going after the Goblins who crashed!"

You're right, though. I feel like a terrible bad guy.

Byakuya jumps to the carriage that sank in the mud with Sabik. Archers aim for Byakuya, but the wind-covered Byakuya is no match for them.

Then, with a great leap, he bites a Goblin on the carriage, Sabik bites as well and when it's poisonous, Byakuya throws it into the swamp.

"Ah, chance"

"Go for that one!"

The Goblin fell into the swamp and Rook and the others immediately went after it. Seeing this, Byakuya threw them away one by one. Sabik tightens his grip on a Goblin Archer and bites it. There's no escaping for that one.

Then comes Rekka.

"Sorry, can I ask for the carriage in the swamp? I'll crash the carriage"

"Roger that"

I guess Mel and the others can't jump. Keigo can do it, but he won't be able to do it while avoiding the arrows. Apparently, the battle between Byakuya and the Goblins is over, so I will change positions.

I crash the carriage using the earth wall method that Rekka showed earlier.

The Goblin Archers who were thrown out saw the smiling faces of Ruin-san´s party and Rook´s party.

『Welcome』

Everyone is beating the Goblins to a pulp with their staff. But the goblin tragedy was not over.

A carriage rammed into me. Unlike Rekka, I don't have to do that.

"Slip!"

The horse and carriage slip on the ice and the carriage accidentally heads towards the Goblins and Ruin-san´s goup.

『Get away!!』

The players run away, but the Goblins, who were hit by the carriage, can't move. They are caught in a huge carriage crash.

This is terrible...and the Goblins who are safe are surrounded by Wolves, including Yuuga. Archers won't be able to save them.

The last carriage was also aiming at me, so I slipped and crashed it. Mel's party and Koihi finish them off and the battle is over.

After defeating the Goblins, we gathered.

"Was there any damage?"

"We're fine. I was surprised by the carriage, though"

I'm sorry about that. I didn't see that coming.

"What was that all about?"

"There were so many goblins that I couldn't identify them well, but I think it was probably the goblin rider from the library driving the carriage"

"A rider and a carriage...that's terrible"

You're right, Reppuu-san.

"Yug, can we use the carriage?"

"No! I couldn't touch it! I hope I can get it by dismantling it"

Is Ruin-san aiming for a carriage? But you can't get a carriage by dismantling goblins, can you?

When everyone dismantles it, it's all stones.

"They're picking a fight"

I agree with that opinion. But you can make magic stones from stones, right?

"What about the formation? It's not like the wolf formation is going to be safe when those things keep coming"

"That's why I didn't come to fight"

When I say so, I feel the line of sight and look back. But there's nothing there.

"What's wrong? Takuto-kun"

"There's something...maybe a Thief"

When I said that, everyone became alarmed.

"Sabik, there's something. Find it"

When I say this, Sabik doesn't hesitate, he moves forward and suddenly a knife is thrown at him. Sabik ducks.

"There!"

When Rekka shoots a Laser, the Thief that was hit appears and escapes to the forest on the other side. As the Wolves and Konoha try to stop it, Gray Wolves howl.

This is not good!?

"It's a trap! Return the summoned beasts!"

『Eh?』

While most of the players couldn't react to the suddenness of the situation, Koihi and the others did.

The other summoned beasts reacted slightly when Koihi and the others tried to return. This was a relief.

A rain of bows and arrows rained down on the summoned beasts from the forest.

"Watch out!"

"Arrows! Get back!"

The summoned beasts all returned at once. However, the summoned beasts that were slow to react were hit by arrows one after another and returned to their summoning stones.

Damn it! They got us! I didn't think they'd do something like this!

Thief was spotted on purpose and lured the summoned beasts into the attack range of the Archers who were hiding in the forest.

"!!? Again!"

"Not good. Koihi"

"Eh!? Why!?"

I appease the impatient Koihi. I know how she feels. I also want to kill the Thief. But it's impossible. Ruin-san speaks.

"If you go to kill that guy, that rain of arrows will come"

"Even if we approach him while building a wall, it will be impossible. The wall won't hold"

"There could be Mages, right?"

"There'll probably be Fighters too"

Everyone agrees with this opinion and a retreat is decided. But before we do, I ask Koihi.

"Do you know how many enemies there are?"

"I don't know...why?"

If there are Goblins, the Wolves should be able to detect them. Ruin-san answers Koihi´s question.

"I think they're probably equipped with items that interfere with Sign Detection"

"That..."

Koihi´s ears droop. She must be in shock. I stroke Koihi´s head.

"You got the information about the enemy. You can be proud of that. Let's go home and plan our strategy"

"Y, Yes!"

After that, it was decided to retreat with Return and have a strategy meeting.
