I Am Not A Goblin Slayer

Chapter 655 - 347: Severed Threads Barrier (Part 3)

Other adventurers naturally do not receive such treatment.

After all, even if a few adventurers are individually more powerful, they are not in the same system as them.

Adventurers are governed by the president of the Adventurer’s Guild.

And these outsider support soldiers only listen to their direct commanders and Sir Belock, the chief commander.

But, Gauss is different from ordinary adventurers.

He is too strong.

Many people even believe that, in terms of individual combat power, Gauss might be the strongest in this town.

Even the local president Abelhard can’t compare to him.

After all, he has a record of killing Extraordinary adventurers.

Furthermore, the majestic Red Dragon that appeared days ago is also his mount, instantly making Abelhard’s griffin mount paled by comparison, indicating Gauss’s immense power.

Gauss shook hands with the squad leader.

"Hello."

"Is Lord Gauss here with any orders?"

"No, I’m just here to check the situation." Gauss waved his hand.

His gaze turned to the monster army slowly advancing outside the town.

"According to the commander’s estimate, these monsters might reach the engagement range tonight."

"At night, huh..."

Gauss nodded.

This timing is clearly not a coincidence but a deliberate speed control by the monster army.

Night time is a huge advantage for the monsters.

Compared to humans, many monsters have superior night vision.

However, Gray Rock Town also has its advantages, relying on solid walls, towers, battlements, and various large crossbow arrows, rolling logs, rocks, hot oil, gold water, and other defense tools and equipment.

Gauss and his teammates walked along the city walls, reaching Abelhard and Sir Belock.

They were currently holding telescopes, keeping an eye on the outside situation.

"Roughly ten to twenty thousand."

Abelhard put down the telescope and said softly.

"Sir Belock, you brought twenty-four hundred men this time, eight hundred heavy infantry, six hundred archers, four hundred light infantry, three hundred cavalry, two hundred engineers, and one hundred special teams."

"Plus eight hundred from the town defense team and militia."

"About a thousand adventurers."

A total of four thousand."

Honestly, the enemy versus our troop count sounds rather disproportionate, yet it doesn’t lead to despair.

Because they are not on a wide open plain for both sides to engage in a field battle; they are backed by the town’s complete defense system.

The stance of offense and defense naturally gives the defending side a huge advantage.

So Sir Belock, the battle-worn old general, showed little fear on his face.

"We need to be wary of those big guys in the sky."

Abelhard looked at several small spots on the distant horizon which now appear small, but each one is a large flying creature. Although there are crossbows installed on the walls, hitting them is still challenging, and they can cross the walls to disrupt the town by dropping monsters.

"Then we’ll rely on Mr. Gauss to take care of them." Belock looked at Gauss who had just arrived.

"Rest assured."

Gauss nodded.

"As long as they’re not at the Extraordinary Level, I can take them down."

Gauss’ words, although calm, reassured the two as if swallowing a calming pill.

"A hero emerges at a young age."

Belock stroked his white beard, speaking in admiration.

Abelhard is alright, having a flying griffin mount, but as an elderly warrior whose powers still maintain at level 8, dealing with flying units is truly beyond his capability.
