Being Strong On Your Own

Chapter 44: The Fortress Attack

In front of them was a fortress standing with torches placed around it as lighting. Not only that some guards were actively patrolling to and fro with spears in their hands.

Irena explained to all of the 30-man troops, with their small numbers relying on impromptu attacks.

"One of the generals leads his army in this fortress, if we can defeat it then the other forts will be easy to drop, all prepared for the position we have determined and Angel, I rely on you."

"Give it to me."

While everyone was hiding behind the bushes, Angel pulled her bow and arrows were released from her finger, making one by one the guards fall to the ground.

They started to sound the alarm to anticipate it. There was only one path to enter and inevitably they had to go out to check it out.

Grey who had since stuck himself on the wall entered easily through the gate coincided as they walked outside.

Arrows are jostled to hit those who are on standby above.

"The land is coming from there, forward," shouted one of them.

"I've finished the above," said Angel get a nod Irena.

"Good work, now it's our turn, pick up your weapons and move on."

"Because, they have come in quite a number, but attack not until this fortress is defeated by the enemy."

"Ooh."

A battle had broken out between the two, meanwhile Grey had defeated those who had an important role to guard the entrance so that they could break through forward.

Grey hits the head of one of the guards to the ground and leaves the gate open until the enemy realizes it.

"Why the gate is still open, don't tell me, everyone," before he could pull back the troops, Winy's sword first split his body in half.

"Good."

In between the fight. Eva deftly provides first aid through her healing magic. And until all enter, Grey alone must guard the gate.

"Via I think it's time we fight, too."

"I always wait for a time like this" he said before turning into a great sword.

"If you want to close the gate, attack me if you can."

They attacked in unison towards Grey one by one, they knew that if they did not defeat this person in armor, the gates would continue to open, he said, on the other hand if they were to close it without fighting it, it was likely that this man would also kill them.

Grey thickens several enemy weapons and kicks them away, one of which has a body doubled with it and mercilessly rains Grey down with a loud bang from a spiked mace.

Dentrang, Dentgang.

If he were to use an ordinary weapon his sword would have already been destroyed, he thanked Via who had become his partner now, he countered his attack with a powerful slash. The big man lost his balance until he lost the momentum to retreat and with a slight diagonal slash he managed to get dropped.

Blood pooled from his body until the enemy troops slightly held back their footsteps before returning to move. For three minutes Grey fought alone until Irena's army advanced.

"Drop them all."

"Good."

Unlike the adventurers, the guards did not always fight often, they were not very good at fighting until they started to retreat into a corner until someone appeared from there.

Wearing an iron armor without a helmet and carrying two large swords in his hands, he had a face in his 40s, with short hair and a well-built body.

"I admit you guys are great but unfortunately this way is really too bar-baric, what if we fight a duel?" said so.
