After Gerald's speech, the survivors around shouted in response, they sure looked excited, but Billy still was keeping his cool, unlike his friends. They already had many reasons to win that battle, and those words only increased the fire in their hearts. However, Billy was the type that couldn't show all his strength unless he stayed calm. The complicated situations also required soone to keep analyzing things with a cool head, after all. In his group, he was probably the only who could do that.
"Let's fight together and do our best to reach the other side of the enemy's army," Billy said while looking at the guild masters. "Once we do that, we will turn to the sides and then destroy the enemies from inside."
"All right, you take the right and we will take the left," Gerald nodded. "We need to affect this entire battlefield if we want to win."
"I will tell the others to stand on their ground and hold their positions no matter what." Gustav said.
With their numbers, they could hope that so allies would be able to help them. If they show any opening, the enemies will climb the walls, after all. Nevertheless, the enemies were already upon him, so everyone readied their weapons. Billy had used so stamina before, but he didn't hesitate in opening holes in the enemies' chests by using Light Spear. They had to hurry, so he couldn't waste ti thinking about saving his energy.
Billy's friends also followed his example and used their best attacks to defeat the infantryn. They were wearing heavy armor and tower shields, so Kate, Lily, and Sarah had a hard ti surpassing those defenses. It required too much mana to do so… Most likely, their strategy against magic. Nevertheless, that wasn't the only thing they could do, so they focused on decreasing the already small mobility of those heavy infantryn by going to their legs. Even with their heavy armor, a re iron boot couldn't withstand their attacks, and Natalie approached and finished off the knocked-down enemies.
Billy and Alexander opened the path ahead with Light Spears nonstop. Even the tower shields couldn't stop them. Thanks to that, they quickly got the attention of many enemies. However, with the guild masters on their left side, they never got surrounded by enemies.
"Those kids sure are sothing, ha!" Gerald said, and then he swung his greatsword to cut down a shield and then another ti to cut down the wielder. "Even I can't deal with these specialized enemies in a single strike."
"You are getting out of shape, gramps," Marie said. "Is that a belly beer that I am seeing?"
"Give a break, I am already 105 years old," Gerald said. "You can't expect not to enjoy my free ti in tis like these."
While they were talking and slashing the enemies like that, the guild masters were slowly falling behind Billy's group. They had so close followers behind them giving their support, but even that wasn't enough. Gerald and Gustav grit their teeth and then begin to move forward more aggressively than before. Instead of trying to block and dodge all attacks, they decided to let so hits land in order to find so openings faster. Fortunately, that showed so results pretty soon, and their moving speed increased.
The enemies had divided their forces into fifty battalions of one hundred n. They also divided those fifty into ten lines, so the defenders had to deal with five hundred n on the first wave. Despite that, Billy's group and the guild masters managed to pierce the first line without much of a problem. However, before they could move to the sides to eliminate all the enemies of the first wave, the second was already upon them.
"It seems that your strategy isn't going to work, Billy…" Alexander said while showing a complicated expression.
"If you have any better ideas, I am all ears," Billy said.
In the end, Billy and his group decided to help little his allies behind while they recovered so stamina. Thanks to Vigor, Billy could use Light Spear three tis every minute, which was quite an insane number given the power of the skill and the fact that he could only use it once every ten minutes in the past. However, it wasn't nearly enough to deal with the massive number of enemies marching toward them. While not all enemies in front of them were heavy infantryn, the first ones were, and they would tire the soldiers and the adventurers out really fast. As if things weren't troubleso enough, the soldiers on the eastern and northern gate were facing the sa problems…
"We have to help them, but we are already facing so problems here… we aren't even close to defeating all of those guys," Billy thought while clenching his teeth. "Regardless… I will have to harden my spirit and find strength inside … harden, inside … this is a dangerous combination of words, but…"
Billy had an idea… it would be a bit dangerous to try sothing like that in the middle of a battlefield. If he fails, he will end up wasting a lot of mana. Nevertheless, it was in his plans to improvise and try to find a way out of that ss while he fights the enemies. He had used a lot of mana the previous day and even a considerable amount that day, so he had only five hundred points… he could only hope that it would be enough.
Without touching his body, Billy tried to focus his mana into a single spot between his lungs; he didn't want to infuse a single organ with his mana. He wanted to create a spiritual one made of mana… a magic core. Billy heard that so monsters had that, but it was only a hypothesis.. No one has confird that yet. Nevertheless, Billy focused all his mana in a single spot creating a sphere, and then it happened…
