Chapter 179: The Knight Order That Appeared

We fell into despair at the sight of the newly appeared massive horde of monsters. At that moment…

The sound of many horses’ hooves could be heard. “Could this be…” Before long, a group of knights appeared amidst a cloud of dust.

“Reinforcements!” “We’re saved!” It was the long-awaited knight order reinforcements. The faces of the Woodpole knights relaxed from their fatigue.

I let out a long breath in sheer relief. “We did it, Will.” “Yeah, we somehow held on until reinforcements arrived. This is thanks to Letty, too.” “It’s because everyone did their best.”

“Even so, I wonder which knight order it is? I thought it would take more time for the Royal Knights from the center to arrive.” “William-sama, it appears the reinforcements are not the Royal Knights.”

Looking in the direction Theo pointed, I saw the flag the knights were raising. The design was a silver-white shield on a green background. It signifies protecting the country from the Sea of Trees—a design I am very familiar with.

“It can’t be…” A sword of light burst forth from the front of the knights. “There’s no mistake; that’s Father’s Light Sword. That knight order is our knight order!”

“However, our knight order shouldn’t be able to operate in another noble’s territory.” “Gil is right.” “Did they obtain the Kingdom’s approval in this short amount of time?” I wonder. Could it be that Father…

From the look of it, there are about 400 knights. Since the Fairchild family knight order has 500 knights, it seems the main force has come, leaving behind minimum defenses.

The veteran knights are slaughtering monsters one after another. As expected. The massive horde of monsters is being pushed back.

As we watched with relief, lightning suddenly rained down on the knight order from mid-air. “Brother, will they be alright?” Sophie‘s face clouded over.

“I heard Count Waterford‘s knights were injured by lightning.” “Are the Fairchild family knights okay?” Erenruel asked worriedly.

“I gave the knight order armor with magic resistance. It’s armor where one of the two traits that can be imbued into iron is set to magic resistance.” “Will, you made things like that too?” “Yeah. I just hope they are wearing them.”

The Fairchild family knights stopped moving under the raining lightning. But no one fell, and they began fighting again. “Phew, that’s good. It seems Father had the knights wear the armor with magic resistance.”

“As expected of William-sama’s enchantment. I heard from Grandmother that it is high-ranking Magic Tigers that release lightning, but to block their powerful lightning…” Luna always praises me too much.

“Will, if they are led by high-ranking monsters, that means that herd is the main force of this monster invasion.” “Yeah, Letty. It seems we weren’t fighting the main force after all.”

“Even if it wasn’t the main force, it was that strong? Monster herds really are a threat.” “True, Theo. According to Grandmother, tens of thousands of monsters surged forth during the previous offensive of Darkness.”

“It seems we need to prepare more for the monster threat.” “Yes, Will. It was completely different from the monsters in the Sea of Trees or the undeveloped lands. This is the true threat of the forces of Darkness.”

The Fairchild family knight order is fighting slightly better than evenly. However, the main force of monsters contains many high-threat Magic Deer and Magic Bears, so it doesn’t look like they can push through immediately.

If it becomes a prolonged battle, I worry about running out of magic power and the knights’ fatigue. We want to help too. But the Woodpole knights and Golems are damaged, and Luna and Sophie don’t have much magic power remaining.

Just as I was wondering what to do, the sound of thundering hooves came from the north. Could it be new reinforcements? “I can see a flag with a white griffin on a blue background. It’s the Northern Duke’s knight order!”

Ria, who has good eyesight, noticed it first. “They came faster than the Royal Knights.” “Yeah, Gil. Thank goodness, it looks like we’ll manage somehow now.” We were relieved for real this time.

“It seems the massive monster horde will be repelled, Master. I was thinking of collecting Mana Cores around here.” “Ah, Legato is right. Please do collect them!” Legato nodded, gave instructions to the mobile Golems, and they all began picking up the Mana Cores scattered on the battlefield.

“Alright! With this, I can make as many Golems as I want. I can increase my stock of Magic Stones too.” “Fufu, Will really does love making things.” “Yeah, Letty. I am a Producer, after all.”
