I finally reached where Thalia was and let her know with my voice that I had returned.

As she was fighting frantically, she noticed my appearance and frowned.

“You broke your promise.”

“sorry. “There were unavoidable circumstances.”

“It must be awkward.”

I guess he didn’t expect me to keep my promise in the first place.

‘After all, it’s easy to commit something and be forgiven.’

But thanks to that, wasn’t it possible to deliver good news to Thalia?

“My direct unit killed the target.”

“I guess we’ll have to clear the road again soon.”

“Are you blocked?”

“okay. I felt like it would cost too much to try to stop it, so I backed off. “They said they killed the target, so now we can go through again.”

“You were conserving your strength.”

“If I had kept holding on, I would have lacked stamina.”

Thalia’s strategy was reasonable.

If I were her, I would have made the same choice.

“It took longer than expected. “Are we done with destroying the hatchery?”

“okay.”

“I guess we’ll have to start clearing the road soon.”

Start pushing down the road and the kids will arrive.

“Whoa… .”

At that time, Thalia was breathing heavily.

Now that I think about it, I thought it must have been difficult to deal with monster attacks so far.

“You look exhausted. Are you okay?”

“It’s still worth holding on to.”

It didn’t seem okay to me, but it seemed like he was forcing himself to endure it.

Didn’t you reset the boss monster and catch it again in the first place?

As time increased, the burden she had to bear also became heavier.

Saying that something was bearable was never a good sign.

Kwaaang!!!!

Pugh-!!

“what?”

“Probably Damon.”

In a moment, Damon was running wild.

“I told you to play as much as you want.”

“Good. “Thanks to you, I can take a breather.”

If the direct unit joins, the burden that soldiers must bear will be greatly reduced.

For now, the best option was to clear the road and wait for the children.

“Can we take a breather and start?”

Damon, who began rampaging on the battlefield, was becoming peerless as if his past fame was not in vain.

Like an eagle waiting to catch a salmon as it swims up the water, Damon caught the large ones and ate them to cheer them up.

It is true that the bigger he is, the stronger he is, so Damon’s actions were of great help to the soldiers.

“It’s not good to waste time. “Let’s start right away.”

However, Thalia seemed to have wasted a moment of rest and chose to clear the path straight away.

Since she was the final decision maker and could not object, she had no choice but to follow.

‘I can’t do it. I guess I can protect it.’

I was worried about overdoing it, but I thought it would be okay since I climbed the biggest mountain and didn’t think anything bad would happen.

Even though I had emphasized to the children how dangerous it was to lose physical strength, I thought it was too complacent.

※ ※ ※

“Tsk!”

Patter!

Blood dripped from Thalia’s body.

“Talia!!”

Using telekinesis, he pushed away the monster that was trying to attack the bleeding Talia.

I took out a random weapon from the item window and stuck it in the guy’s neck.

After checking the dead monster without even being able to scream properly, he approached Thalia and helped her as she stumbled.

thud!

I realized this when I saw him completely surrendering himself to me.

Her physical strength is much more worn out than expected.

It was unbelievable that I was able to endure with so much loss of strength.

“If it was like this, I should have fallen into battle!”

“ha… under… It was a momentary mistake. “It’s been good so far.”

“I was so weak that I ended up being attacked by a guy like that. “You know.”

“… okay. For a moment, I lost all my strength. “It was unexpected.”

Exhausted, Thalia was unable to show the full strength she had shown at first.

It was amazing that I had survived until now.

“Now get some rest. “The soldiers are clearing the road well.”

The members of the direct unit had also just arrived and were clearing the road.

“In times like these, we need to step forward more. “Only then will the soldiers gain strength and push forward.”

Despite this, Thalia did not stop fighting.

I understand why she acts like this.

‘If Thalia is having a hard time like this, the other soldiers must be in dire straits.’

Everyone is struggling to survive even though it is difficult.

But what if the girl who leads them shows signs of being difficult?

‘Morale is falling.’

If the higher-ups are fighting so hard, shouldn’t the lower-level soldiers work harder?

But now, I think we have gone beyond the limit for such a fluke to work.

This is because the soldiers were also beyond the limits of their physical strength.

‘It’s not a situation that can be achieved by stubbornly holding on.’

It could have been a hopeless situation, but the timing of the arrival of direct troops prevented the crisis.

So there is no need for Thalia to try to show it anymore.

“I’ve endured this well enough. look. “Everyone is so busy looking after their direct subordinates that they don’t even pay attention to this area.”

Thalia then looked around and checked the soldiers.

“The road has already been cleared. “The soldiers are cheering for that.”

“It’s already been penetrated…” ?”

Until a little while ago, it was difficult to break through because of the monsters that kept coming.

But now there was a clear path for the soldiers to move around.

“Yes, and the monsters are being pushed out. “Now, if we leave here with the soldiers, it will all be over.”

A series of explosions were heard nearby from a while ago.

It was an explosion sound made by all the members of the unit directly pushing away the monster.

“It’s amazing. ha… .”

Thalia looked over and felt relieved.

I also sympathized with the reason why the soldiers had no choice but to cheer when they saw their direct unit.

Their appearance means that we can live.

“We’re going now too. “Let’s go get treatment and get some rest.”

“… … .”

“Talia? Thalia!”

Thalia seemed to have relaxed, closing her eyes and going limp.

I hurriedly picked her up in my arms.

I thought the wounds might be severe when I was hit by a monster, but I had no idea it would be so severe that I would lose my mind.

He probably fainted due to his lack of stamina as well as his injury.

When I checked the wounds on her body, I saw that they were deep and bleeding continuously.

‘It won’t stop bleeding.’

I quickly tied the wound with a cloth to stop the bleeding and looked around.

‘There is no therapist.’

It wasn’t easy to find a therapist because everyone was busy going out on the open road.

The good news was that the soldiers didn’t know that Talia had fallen.

He picked up Thalia’s body and covered her body as much as possible with her cloak.

This was to ensure that the soldiers would not be shaken by the sight of her fallen body.

‘If you’re in a position like Thalia’s, you can’t fall down with peace of mind.’

I thought it might be better to remain unconscious, but Thalia, in my arms, was regaining consciousness.

“Umm… .”

“Talia.”

“soldier… “Did you hear?”

“We are heading out through the open road. “The monster is retreating backwards.”

“ha… okay.”

“Can you hold on? “I’ll find a therapist as soon as possible.”

“I wonder if I can’t endure this much.”

For someone who could endure it, his complexion was too pale.

I don’t think I have much time.

If I knew the therapist’s face, I would have gone to see him, but unfortunately, I couldn’t remember the therapist’s face.

‘Well, it’s about running away, but I guess they sent the therapist first.’

The safest place right now would be the front line where your immediate unit is breaking through.

When planning a strategy, unless you were an idiot, it was normal to place the therapist at the forefront.

‘Is it right to take him to Fran?’

Even if I took him to a therapist, I didn’t think he could heal his serious wounds.

In the end, I flew into the sky with Thalia.

“Don’t lose your mind and just hold on a little longer.”

“… … okay.”

My heart becomes anxious as I see Thalia struggling to come up with an answer.

The cloth I had tied up was already stained with blood.

It’s clear that hemostasis isn’t working properly.

As we moved forward quickly, we were soon able to reach the place where our direct unit was fighting.

‘The therapists were gathered over there.’

I saw therapists, but I didn’t go there.

I had francs, so there was no reason to entrust them to someone else.

I went down among them fighting fiercely and shouted to Fran.

“franc!!!”

Fran immediately realized that she had come to him hoping for treatment.

“Have you lost your mind?”

“no. But I won’t be able to answer because I don’t have the strength. My stamina and mana are exhausted. “I also suffered quite deep wounds.”

“It’s serious.”

Franc was more concerned about the depth of the wound than confirming who the patient was.

I carefully informed Fran of the identity of the patient.

“By the way, this is Thalia.”

“Commander?!”

“Shh! Even if it becomes known for no reason, the morale of the soldiers will drop, so treat them quietly. “How’s your stamina?”

“It’s still okay. But for now, I have to focus on treatment.”

“Are you talking about children? “I will be assisting, so please do me a favor.”

“Yes I will.”

I put Thalia down on the floor and helped the children fight while Fran took care of them.

Since Fran, who had been supporting the children reliably, was away, it was necessary to provide assistance to prevent the children from getting hurt.

“Who did you bring?”

Rebecca asked as I joined the fray.

As soon as I arrived, she was checking that I had entrusted the patient to Fran.

“Talia.”

“Commander is hurt?!”

“uh. I asked him to treat me quietly so he wouldn’t get agitated. “As you know, it’s not good to know a lot of people.”

“Good job. “Is your injury serious?”

“It looks pretty serious to me.”

“I can fix it for francs.”

“Of course you should. “I came here because I thought it would be useless to show it to another therapist.”

Now that she has started receiving treatment from Fran, Talia will not die.

The problem is that I have to be able to fill her void well.

“I’ll give you an order when it’s urgent. “For now, please help me out on my own.”

“check.”

As soon as I heard Rebecca’s words, I joined the battle.

The stamina that was empty from fighting the boss monster was taken from the monster that had just died and used.

I was not satisfied at all when I drank a lot earlier and gained a lot of strength, but it was as strong as a fingernail, but it was enough for using my strength from time to time.

“Move! Advance!! “Don’t stop and fight!!!”

The end of the fierce battle is just around the corner.
