I Try To Enjoy My Life But This Woman Keep Calling Me Villain-Chapter 152: Fight for Burab City

After healing the two soldiers, the two of them take us to the castle where the steward of the Burab City, Saman, is waiting for us. Saman takes us to the meeting room, where the soldiers tell us what is happening.

The soldiers are doing their regular patrols. It is quite like usual, but it changes when they are ten kilometers away from the wall where a Void Crack appears, and a lot of monsters are pouring from it. Out of ten soldiers, only two of them survive the encounter with the group of monsters.

From the report, at least two hundred monsters just left the portal. Or at least that was the last thing they saw before they left the area to inform us.

I look at Saman and say.

"What will you do?"

Saman thinks for a few seconds and says.

"I’m sorry to ask you this, my lord. However, can you help us defend the city if there are more than a thousand monsters?"

I give the old man a small smile and say.

"We will help you in the fight. Leave the healing and protection to us. Focus the soldiers on attacking and leave the defending to us."

"Thank you, my lord. Burab City will remember this."

I nod and say.

"Anyway, let’s go and ring the bell to notify the others. We need to prepare."

"Yes."

=//=

I frown a little when I see there are only three hundred soldiers in this city. I look at Saman and say.

"Why are there only three hundred soldiers in this place? This is a busy city, right? There should be at least five hundred soldiers."

Saman stays silent for a few seconds before saying.

"Because the lord brought most of our soldiers to the wedding ceremony."

"Why?"

"I don’t know. I’m only the servant and did not question my lord liege’s decision."

Ah, I know that expression. That is the expression of someone who is tired of a stupid decision. I think the lord of this place wants to show his military power to the other noble houses. However, because he did not have any military achievements, he decided to show how his soldiers were doing by equipping them with fancy armor.

I’ve seen this kind of behavior before. It is just like the nobles from Northern Gipan, where they decide to equip their soldiers with fancy armor. That thing is not good in battle. It is fancy, but it was at the lower end of quality when facing monsters.

I look at the soldiers in here and nod. At least the soldiers in this place did not wear fancy armor but rather practical armor and weapons. They are well-maintained and sturdy. They are ten times better than the Northern Army.

"I see. From the information, they are coming from the West. We have sixty archers, fifty horsemen, and two hundred and ninety-foot soldiers. We did not have a moat, but we can make a good wooden spike."

I look at the wooden spike the soldiers stab on the sand.

"Also, is that a wire?"

Saman nods his head and says.

"Yes. The only reason why this place is still standing even where there are a lot of monsters spawning around the city is because of the trap we can build from the ground up. Those wires are special wires that will be enchanted with the power of lightning to cut through the monster’s flesh with ease. However, even with all of these traps and preparation, we cannot handle more than a thousand monsters or a bunch of high-ranking monsters."

I nod and say.

"What about flying monsters?"

"That tower over there? The lookout tower."

"Yeah. What about it?"

"There is a throwing machine that copies the mechanism of the grappling hook thrower, but it is bigger and can trap quite a lot of monsters in a single throw."

I really need to get the blueprint of that thing. It sounds useful because we are still struggling with flying monsters and only depend on the magicians.

"Hmmm, we have a solid defense. I don’t think the monsters can even touch the wall."

"Not really. We still have one weakness, the digger-type monsters."

"What?"

"There are many types of monsters that can dig through the sand and swim inside of it as if it is water. It can make our defensive trap useless."

Ah, that kind of monster, huh? Second Life also has that kind of class and monster that can swim inside the sand. [Sand Dancer] is a unique rogue class that lets the user get a massive buff when they are in the desert and savanna. They are a situational type of class that is not very popular, but there is this one player that other players hate because he is a [Sand Dancer].

The other players call him the [Sand Bandit] because he is known to PK other players who try to hunt in any Desert and Savanna biomes. Because of him, the dev needs to create a particular item that gives other players a chance to fight him.

As a [Sand Dancer], that player can get into the sand, move unnoticed, and combine it with his second class, which is [Assassin]. He can one-shot kill a player. [Sand Dancer] lets players get inside the ground, buff all their skills up to two hundred percent, and reduce the skill’s cooldown up to fifty percent as long as they are in the Desert and Savanna biomes.

After balancing the [Sand Dancer] class, the dev created a new storyline in the desert and savanna because of this one player. They also create a new monster that mimics his fighting style.

Anyway, I know how to help if there is a sand-hiding monster. I look at my companions, including Jonathan and Jullian, who are waking up from the bell, and say.

"Wait here. I need to take out something."

The other did not understand, but Silva knew what I meant and nodded her head.

I jump off the wall and quickly get into our inn, where I open the portal to my pocket dimension. The items I want to take are not in the guild vault or my personal inventory but rather in the other member’s inventory.

I run to the private room and open the second door, leading to my guild’s greatest DPS. When I open the door, I can see a statue of a player holding a bow and arrow with a belt full of potions. She uses the highest burst damage class of Archer kind, the [Sniper], which releases huge burst damage but lower attack speed. Her second class is [Green Death], a hidden [Alchemist] class that only five people can get. This class is a class that specializes in any poison-making skill and poison attack.

Her [Sniper] class provides massive burst damage, and her [Green Death] is the one providing the DPS. Of course, she will be useless if the enemy has a high resistance to poison or immunity to it. However, if you do not have either of them? Well, you will be dead in a minute.

I shake my head and walk to the chest in the corner of the room. I open it up, and a massive screen appears in front of me. I press certain items and take five of them. I nod, leave the room, and get out of the pocket dimension.

I quickly ran out of the wall and planted the device on the sand. After planting the fifth device, I activate it and see a blue light coming from the device and disappear into thin air. I nod and join back to my companion, who is looking at the device curiously.

When I arrive at the wall, Saman looks at me and says,

"What kind of devices are that?"

"That is a small device that will help us ensure the monster hiding inside the sand cannot get inside. When they get inside the radius of that device, they will forcefully eject the monster out of the sand."

"That is... a very useful device. Can I ask you to sell some to us? I promise you that I will give a high price for that device. It will help us maintain the peace."

I give the old man a small smile and say.

"Sadly, I’m not the creator of that device. If you want one, you can visit the Eastern Continent. That is the place where I got that device."

I decided to tell a small lie because I didn’t want to tell him about my pocket dimension. That is a secret I want to keep to a few people.

"Ah. What a shame. The Eastern Continent is on the other side of the world, and I don’t think we can buy them without losing a good amount of money."

"Young master... The monster is here."

I snap from my thoughts and look where Jullian points to see a massive cloud of sand in the distance. I frown a little and shout.

"Prepare to fight! Close the gate! Archer, prepare! The enemy is coming!"
