Shota's Isekai NTR Adventure

Chapter 68 What Must Come Will Come (6)

?

The first one to charge at her was an ogre, but it wasn't just any ogre.

This ogre's skin was completely blue.

This was a special blue ogre variant that was much stronger than the normal ogre.

But in the end, there was no hesitation at all as Cecilia's sword cut right through the Blue Ogre's club and the Blue Ogre's chest.

It wasn't surprising to see it cut through the Blue Ogre's club since that was just made of regular wood, but the Blue Ogre's hide was as thick as iron armour. It was no easy feat cutting through it without any effort like this.

The momentum carried that Blue Ogre back and it landed on the ground with a large thud. 

However, when she was surrounded by monsters like this, there were plenty of monsters to take the place of that Blue Ogre.

In no time, there were two more Blue Ogres that had taken the place of the one that had fallen.

This time, they didn't charge right at her, but rather they went around to her sides. Then once they were there, the two Blue Ogres swung at Cecilia at the same time, trying to sandwich her between their clubs.

Cecilia didn't hesitate at all as she laid back on the saddle of her horse, letting the two clubs go right above her.

Then once she was past the two Blue Ogres, she immediately sat back up. Turning around on her horse, she used one wide swing to cut down both of the Blue Ogres at the same time.

Seeing how easily she had taken down the three Blue Ogres that had charged her, the other monsters started to feel a bit of fear.

They had thought that it would be easy to take down Cecilia since they had completely surrounded her, but now it seemed like that wasn't the case. It seemed like she was more than enough to pose a threat on their lives.

But still, there was something that was even more of a threat to their lives if they didn't take care of her.

So there was only a single second of hesitation before more monsters charged forward.

Cecilia's sharp eyes didn't miss the trace of fear that the monsters had shown before charging her.

She couldn't help thinking to herself, "Why are they so afraid? Or rather, what are they so afraid of?"

As this thought passed through her mind, there was a bad premonition that filled her heart.

But she didn't have time to think this through right now as there were more monsters that were charging at her.

This time, it was a mix of different monsters that came at her instead of just Blue Ogres.

Before, the Blue Ogres had thought that they could overwhelm this small human female with their size and strength, but that plan clearly didn't work. The monsters took note of this and decided to use a different plan.

This time, there were still two large Blue Ogres that came forward, but they didn't charge right up to Cecilia.

Instead, they created a wall around her so that she couldn't escape.

Behind those two Blue Ogres were Barghests and Hobgoblins.

These Barghests and Hobgoblins had methods of attacking other than physical attacks, so they used these to bombard Cecilia while the Blue Ogres restricted her.

The Hobgoblins had spears that they threw while the Barghests released flames from their bodies that came at Cecilia in a wave.

Being completely surrounded by monsters like this, it didn't seem likely that Cecilia would escape.

But with her refined riding skills, she was able to dodge the spears that came flying at her. At the same time, she swept out with her sword, creating a wall of wind that slammed into the wall of flames coming at her.

This collision destroyed the wall of flames and she was able to make her way towards one of the Blue Ogres surrounding her.

The Blue Ogre quickly moved backwards since it knew that it couldn't beat her in a contest of strength.

It was just too bad that the Blue Ogre couldn't beat Cecilia's horse in terms of speed. This was a special horse that had been bred just for Cecilia, so its speed was nothing to laugh about.

It was the one thing that the Lord Baron had insisted on when he had brought Cecilia on as his head knight. Of course, he had thought more about appearance than usefulness, so this wasn't what he had been thinking when he bought that horse.

Still, it was a big boon to Cecilia since it allowed her to have the strength to protect the ones that she cared about.

The Blue Ogre realized that it couldn't run and swung its club at Cecilia.

Cecilia saw this and swung her sword out to meet it. However, this time, she swung up instead of straight forward, which carried the Blue Ogre up into the air.

The Blue Ogre flew right through the air and then landed on the Barghest that had been behind it.

As soon as the Blue Ogre landed, Cecilia didn't waste any time in dashing out of the blockade of the monsters. She went through the small gap that had been created with the Blue Ogre landing on the Barghest, trapping it.

As she ran, it almost seemed like she was completely abandoning the soldiers who had followed her out.

When the monsters saw this, they couldn't help hesitating once again…

After all, even if they were monsters that didn't have any sense of camaraderie, they never expected Cecilia to just abandon her men like this.

But after that moment of hesitation, the monsters started chasing after Cecilia.

Even the ones that had been engaging her men pulled away and started chasing after her.

With them withdrawing, the men were far less pressured by the monsters and were able to catch their breath.

Indirectly, Cecilia had been helping her men.

After dashing out a bit, Cecilia suddenly turned around and swung her sword down at the monsters that were chasing her. They were completely caught off guard by Cecilia suddenly turning around and charging into their lines.

The monsters in front tried to hold her back, but all of them fell with a single swing of her sword. There weren't any of them that were able to stop her.

However, the momentum that she had only carried her so far and soon she was stopped by the monsters in the middle of this group. Once she was stopped, they had regained their positioning and were ready to face her head on again.

It was just too bad that Cecilia didn't have any plans of staying to fight them.

As soon as they had regrouped, she immediately turned around and ran away again, leaving the monsters to stand there with stunned looks.

After being in a daze for a bit, the monsters still decided to chase after her. After all, they had already committed to taking her down, so it would be embarrassing for them to let her go. Not to mention, their lives would be in danger if they just gave up and let her escape like this.

But after they chased her for a bit, Cecilia turned around once again to attack them head on, catching them off guard once more.

The monsters were cut down by her sword and the worst part of it all was that her men had caught up. As soon as they caught up, they started attacking the back of the group of monsters.

While they weren't able to inflict much damage, it was still a nuisance that divided the attention of the monsters.

Like this, Cecilia was able to make it even further before she was stopped.

But this time, she didn't run away again.

That was because the group of monsters had been reduced to a point where it was manageable for her.

There had been fiftyish monsters that had come out to face her and her men, but she had already slain thirty of those monsters all by herself.

With her men distracting ten of those monsters, it was easy for her to deal with the rest all on her own.

Just like this, the monsters realized that they had been completely outplayed by Cecilia.

In short, it was a bait and switch tactic where they were lured into chasing her and whittled down slowly by her.

They realized that now they were the ones being hunted.

But before that happened, there was a roar that came from the main monster wave.
