Cecilia and Philiana succeeded in repelling the enemy with their combined technique.
The magician, bound by Lauren, struggled and shouted.
“Damn it! Why are you guys struggling against these young girls!”
Seeing one of their companions fall, the other three stopped their opponents and surrounded their boss from behind. There was a male swordsman, an assassin, and a female swordsman.
“I’m sorry, I couldn’t capture them easily,” the female swordsman said regretfully. Karubene, who had likely been fighting her, appeared.
“Hahaha, what’s wrong, sister? Is that all you’ve got? I’m sober now. You’re no good if you can’t even beat this.”
Even as he said that, blood was flowing from his arm. He must have been injured during the fight.
“Damn you, you beast! Don’t you dare spout such nonsense at me! I intentionally didn’t take your life.”
“Tch, you can talk, but that’s about it,” Cecilia said as she turned back to the Dark Elves.
“So, what are you going to do? You’ll lose if it continues like this. Surrender if you don’t want to die.”
The magician, wrapped tightly in threads, let out a growl.
“Ugh, you brats! Kill all these women! Don’t hold back, just kill them!”
Just then, Elana and Piyo returned from their fight with the wolves.
“Your summoned spirits have disappeared, but can you still say the same thing?”
Their spells must have run out. Without their grimoires, they couldn’t use magic. Furthermore, even if they cut through Arachne’s threads with swords, it would take time. We had won. The Dark Elves no longer had any means to resist. At that moment, angry Kobolds rushed in. Their anger, stoked by the loss of their homes and the arbitrary actions taken against them, could not be contained. The three warriors looked at each other, abandoned their boss, and fled.
“Hey! You guys, wait! Wait, you scoundrels! Are you going to leave me behind? Don’t mess with me, come back, you bastards!”
With a death cry, he was surrounded by a swarm of Kobolds. The big man Cecilia had dealt with also glanced back at her before disappearing into the deep forest. With the battle decided, I decided to treat everyone’s wounds for the time being.
“Karubene, is your arm okay? You were bleeding a lot.”
“Yes! Brother, are you worried about me?! Well, then, could I have a little sake?”
“…Have Cecilia treat you. With her recovery magic.”
I apologized for bothering him when he was tired, but he was the one I could rely on now. Philiana, who had sheathed her sword after the battle, rubbed her wrist.
“Phew, even though we won, it was quite a tough fight. Is everyone alright?”
“I’ll say! They just never learn. I got my tail bitten by a dog. Speaking of which, is Veronica okay?”
Nina’s words reminded me. It seemed Pauline had been looking after Veronica. She was cooling her skin with a water-soaked towel, but she was listless and didn’t seem to be opening her eyes.
Just then, a few Kobolds came from behind.
“Oi, you okay? Come here, we help your home.”
We decided to accept their kind offer.
