Chapter 160 I Can Participate And Have Just One Hot Moment Together
Well...
While the freaks of ≪Wooden Sword Way≫ were fighting with all their might in Necronia's city streets, the remaining members had their feet set in a district with the mansions of the [Four Great Families of the Seals], which was closer to the city center.
Originally, they had planned to take down the "core" of the Stampede that would appear in front of the Seal Temple with all their might, but as they approached the mansions of the Four Great Families, they witnessed intense battle sounds and smoke rising from within the vast grounds.
It was expected that some monsters would rush towards the Four Great Families, which were closest to the Seal Temple, but it seemed that wasn't the only thing happening.
The [Four Great Families of the Seals] each had their own private knight orders. With their military power, they shouldn't be threatened by the initial monster hordes of the Stampede, and their mansions shouldn't be damaged.
Yet, it seemed that considerable damage was being inflicted within the grounds of the Four Great Families.
Using [magical energy sense] to probe the internal situation, and with Glen's exceptional eyesight, they climbed up to the rooftop to take a look, and it was revealed that not only monsters but also human groups were attacking each of the families.
So, Fiona and the others stopped in their tracks and began to discuss.
"What should we do?"
"It goes without saying, but our top priority should be protecting the beautiful ladies――."
Glen's joke was interrupted, and Garon declared, "Our top priority should be taking down the 'core' of the Stampede."
By the way, the members present at the scene were from Fiona, ≪Iron Wall Alliance≫, ≪Glen Squad≫, ≪White Lily Maiden≫, ≪Wood Sword Appreciation Club≫, ≪Bastard≫, ≪Holy Knights≫, and ≪Silfied≫.
In fact, more than half of the clan members were aiming for the [Seal Temple].
The reason, as Garon said, was to prioritize the defeat of the "core" of the Stampede. If they didn't defeat the "core", the monsters' rampage wouldn't subside, and the damage from the Stampede would only spread, taking more time. On the other hand, if they defeated the "core", the monsters' rampage would calm down, and they could cooperate with each other beyond their species, making it easier to defeat them individually.
To put it in human military terms, the "core" was like the general commander or command center, and if they lost the "core", the monsters would lose control and fall into a state of disarray.
Therefore, defeating the "core" as soon as possible would weaken the entire monster army.
"But we can't ignore the situation with the 4 houses. If the attacks on the 4 houses stop, we can have each house's knights focus on suppressing the Stampede."
"In other words, we're dividing our military power?"
Fiona summarized Garon's words concisely.
"That's right," Garon nodded, and Fiona said,
"Then, I'll head to Kirke's mansion."
Eva was probably still there, and Fiona was worried about her friend. However, Garon understood that and firmly refused.
"No way, that's no good. With Aaron gone, our strongest ally is you, Fiona. So you should focus on being the 'core'."
"...!"
After being told that, it was impossible to argue with Fiona. Reluctantly,
"I understand."
And then, she decided to move on with the conversation. They didn't have time to waste.
"But, how should we distribute our forces?"
"I think it's best if I'm with Lady Fiona. I hope I can participate and have just one hot moment together!"
"I also think it's best if I'm with Dear Big Sister Fiona!"
"Then let's all get hot!"
Just as Glen and the girls were saying whatever they wanted, Garon interrupted them, addressing Fiona.
"Fiona, you decide. We'll have 4 parties to deal with the 4 families, and the rest will go to take down the 'core' of the Stampede."
"...Alright."
After thinking for just a few seconds, Fiona immediately gave her answer.
"The 4 parties to deal with the 4 families will be the ≪Iron Wall Alliance≫, ≪Glen Squad≫, ≪White Lily Maiden≫, and ≪Wood Sword Appreciation Club≫. The rest will follow me."
"Got it."
"""Roger that, Dear Big Sister!!"""
"""Eh–what?!"""
There were both voices of agreement and discontent. By the way, the ones who expressed discontent were Glen and a few others.
The others understood that it was a reasonable decision. They also understood why Fiona had chosen those parties.
The ≪Iron Wall Alliance≫ was chosen due to concern for Eva and trust in them. Since Garon and the others were serving Kirke, they believed they would definitely be able to protect Eva.
Apart from that, it's not even worth explaining... but partnering with the Lust Demons or the Maiden Squad puts her life at risk.
And then there's the ≪Wood Sword Appreciation Club≫... but they boast high combat ability even in PvP battles. Therefore, when it comes to fighting against those who attack the Four Houses, they're the most suitable choice... that's the pretext.
For all these reasons, this selection was inevitable.
"Alright, let's go! Everyone, pray for a good fight!"
"""Huzzah!!"""
Garon announced, and Fiona and the others split into teams, one for dealing with the Four Houses and another for dealing with the "core," before resuming their movement.
