Chapter 67 What Must Come Will Come (5)

It took no time for her soldiers and knights to saddle up.

Half of them were still on the wall defending against the stones being thrown at them and the other half had saddled up with her.

The one thing that they had over the monsters was their speed.

The horses that they had were able to outrun the monsters and they had the cover of the archers if the monsters chased them too close to the walls, so they would be using this advantage to its full potential.

Cecilia was going to lead a cavalry charge to disrupt the monsters from throwing rocks at the walls.

Of course, this was very dangerous since it meant clashing head on with the monster wave. This meant throwing away their advantage of being on the walls and avoiding a physical fight which the monsters had the advantage in.

But there was no other choice.

If they didn't do this, they would be crushed by the flying stones eventually.

Cecilia gave one last look at the men who were going to follow her out before saying with a nod, "I'm proud of you all."

Not a single one of them responded, but they all had determined looks in their eyes.

After all, they knew that many of them would not be returning from this suicidal charge.

Still, they knew that they were doing this for their family, so not a single one of them backed down. Even if it meant death, they would do all they could to keep their families safe.

Cecilia turned back to look at the gatekeepers and gave them a nod.

The gatekeepers looked over the men on horses who were about to charge out with a heavy look on their faces before turning back to give Cecilia a firm nod.

As the gate started dropping, Cecilia took a deep breath as she remembered who she was doing all of this for.

Then as soon as the gate came down, Cecilia grabbed the reins with one hand to whip her horse into action while raising her sword in the other. As she charged forward, she roared out, "Charge!"

The men behind her were all stirred into action when they heard this cry from her and they all started dashing forward on their horses.

All of them gave battle cries as they charged out after her, shouting out so loud that they could even shake the ground under them.

With the speed of their horses, it didn't take them long to reach the monster wave that was heading towards the city.

Of course, since they were on flat plains and with how much noise they made in their charge, it was impossible for them to sneak up on the monsters.

As soon as they came close, the monsters immediately focused on the cavalry that were charging at them. There were quite a few of them that came out from the center of the monster wave to face these cavalry head on.

These were all middle class monsters that were large and powerful, perfect for stopping a head on charge from these cavalry units.

But right before they collided, Cecilia gave the order, "Fire!"

As soon as her voice fell, there were arrows that came from the back of this group of cavalry.

At the back of these horsemen, there were some that had been holding bows that immediately shot at the monsters in front of them.

However, none of these arrows proved to be fatal as these were normal archers that were firing at the monsters. The specialized archers were still on the wall dealing with the rocks.

The arrows just simply bounced off the thick hides of the monsters without even causing a single scratch.

There was a guttural sound that came from the monsters when this happened, almost as if they were laughing from being tickled. However, these monsters didn't stop as they came forward to bear the brunt of Cecilia's charge.

It was just too bad for them that before Cecilia's cavalry could hit them, she suddenly made a sharp turn. Then all of the cavalry followed her sharp turn and they immediately started to run away.

The monsters were a bit confused when they saw this, but after a moment's pause, they started chasing after the cavalry that was running away. Since they had come, they wouldn't let these humans escape!

But not a single one of the cavalry had a worried look when they saw the monsters chasing them.

Instead, they all had looks of anticipation, as if they had already expected this and were even waiting for it to happen.

Once they got far away enough from the main monster wave, Cecilia once again turned her men around and started charging at the monsters chasing them. She led the charge as she charged right into the center of these monsters.

There were hobgoblins and ogres that met her head on, but her sword didn't even stop for a second as they cut right through their thick hides.

While she wasn't able to bisect them like she had done to the weaker monsters, she was still able to cut deep into their flesh. Each wound that she left was a fatal wound, so each slash that she made cut down a monster in front of her.

With each slash, she inspired the men behind her.

It was just too bad that not a single one of these men could match her.

Most of the men couldn't even cut through the thick skin of these monsters and it was only the knights that were able to deal any damage to them.

So other than that one path carved out by Cecilia among these monsters, the rest were all stalled right away.

These middle class monsters had a certain amount of intelligence and they were able to immediately recognize that it was only Cecilia that they had to be afraid of.

So they quickly left some of their members to deal with the rest of the cavalry while most of them quickly came back to surround Cecilia.

But even when she was surrounded by all of these monsters, she didn't show any signs of panic.

She just raised her sword and held the reins with her other hand, moving forward step by step towards them.
