Lord Summoner's Freedom Philosophy: Grimoire of Love

---Xena's PoV---

"G-Goblin champions spotted!!! There are dozens of them!!!"

One of the archers on the watchtowers shouted to notify the Madam and the others. A hint of fear is visible on his face as his hand is slightly shaking. It's not that surprising since goblin champions emit a much more powerful and terrifying aura than other goblins. Not to mention before we are not normal goblin champions.

"R-Red goblin champions..." One of the mercenaries on top of the walls uttered in fear.

Not only them, but I could feel a slight shake on my hands as well. It seems that my body still kind of remembers about the time when I got captured by the goblins together with Alina.

I could barely remember it, but I could feel a distinct fear when I saw them approaching. I'm afraid.

This is bad, I always continue my archery training, but this is actually the first time in a while since I enter battle while using a bow again. No, don't lose focus, Xena. You must focus and do your job well or it would make the others get into danger again.

I took a deep breath, take an arrow, and aims at one of the approaching red goblin champions. Let's do this, I could-

*Whoosh!*

I unexpectedly loosened the arrow faster. When I focus my aim, the sight of the goblin champion got clearer, and my hands lost their strength. The arrow fell right beside the goblin champion, and its sight met mine as if sneering at me.

This is bad, this is-

'Mama,'

Galia's thoughts entered my mind as she perches on top of my shaking hands. Suddenly-

!?!?

She transformed, a warm hand suddenly appeared and holds my hands, stopping its shakings. It's a big hand of a man. Of course, Galia and I know only one person that could stop my shaking such as this. The hand that could wrap me warm and overwhelms the fear.

"Thank you, Galia. Let's make your papa proud, okay?"

I could do this. Let's focus.

And kill all of them.

"W-Why there are strong wind suddenly gathering here?"

"Look! That hooded girl! The winds are gathering on the arrow she is about to loosen!!"

The archers around me seem to be making a ruckus about something, but I pay them no heed. I need to focus. Not just my aim, but my mana and my killing intent in every shot as well.

This time, I'll be the hunter.

*Whoosh!!!*

This time, the string was released right at the moment I wanted it, but something is strange. It's true that I used the wind mana that I got from Galia to shoot the arrow, and it seems that Galia also helped me enhance my arrow. But isn't that blow too powerful?

"H-Hey... Did you see that? The goblin champion's head got blown by that girl's arrow!!"

"I saw it... Unbelievable... She's an elemental mana user, isn't she? That's wind mana isn't it?"

"So powerful... No wonder they are so rare..."

"But the goblin champion immediately lost its head. The blood spurted out like a fountain. What a barbaric way of killing..."

"H-Hey! She'll blow your head if she hears you, you know?"

I won't.

"Seriously?"

"Yeah! You better keep your mouth shut!"

I said I won't, damn it.

"What are you doing, archers!? Don't stop your arrows!!!" (Madam)

"""Yes Ma'am!!!"""

Hmph! That's what you got for saying whatever you want.

"*Phew!* Now, let's continue this,"

There are 12 red goblin champions and about 30 normal goblin champions approaching, before they are about 300 red hobgoblins and 500 normal green hobgoblins. At the very front acting as pawns are 900 red goblins.

They are rushing from the distance in a disarray, it's clear that they are desperate in destroying the gate and the walls. This is bad, if the rest of the red goblin champions reached the gate, it'll only be a matter of time until the gate got breached.

"Open the gates!!!" (Madam)ραпdα `nᴏνɐ| сom

The Madam's voice resounded throughout the battlefield. Following her stern voice, the ones assigned to maneuver the gate immediately moved and opened the gate.

"So we're going to lure them in and face them with a semi-circle formation, huh? Then we must not stop our bombarding! Continue to rain them with arrows!!" One of the archers shouted, raising the morale of the rest of the archers.

He's right. As the one assigned as one of the sharpshooters on top of the watchtowers, I need to narrow down the number of goblin champions to make sure it's easier for the madam, gramps, and Alina.

The archer team continues our bombarding, and the magicians also deliver their magic and give a great blow to the incoming goblins. Since the one-shot one-kill arrow I sent needs quite the time lag since I need to gather my wind mana first to increase the strength and speed of the arrow, I could only kill 25 of the goblin champions.

"Tch! I guess that's the limit for now,"

After knowing that I could now use wind mana, I found out that my whole mana had started to get assimilated and merged with the wind mana. But the amount of wind mana I could use now is still limited. I could feel that the remaining wind mana inside my mana pool had become less than half, I need to make sure I have some remaining in case of emergency.

"They're coming inside boys! Don't let them get past us, you hear me!? We're going to kill all of these living golds and enjoy the golds!!!" The Madam shouted as she stands at the front of the gate, leading the mercenaries together with gramps beside her.

"""Yeah!!!"""

Not long after, the goblins started to enter the gate, but there was something strange with them. Some of them fell before they even enter the gate, while some of them didn't even have the strength to swing their weapons at the moment they entered the gate.

"Paralysis?"

Galia flew and went to take a peek at what was happening, and saw that Belle's monster child, Pilia, is spreading her poisonous powders at the goblins in front of the gates. Since the goblins rushed with only entering the gate in mind, they didn't notice that they inhaled a lot of paralyzing and poisonous powders and ended up paralyzed and dying. Those who didn't die because of the poison got killed by the infantries waiting before the gate.

"That's nasty... As expected of Belle. But she hasn't thrown any of her poison vials yet, didn't she?"

As an aspiring alchemist, Belle usually brought the poison vials that she made to throw at the enemies. I remember her bringing some of them inside her bag, I guess it's not the time yet for her to use them, huh...

ραпdα nᴏνa| сom The goblin champions finally entered the gate as well. Now, where is Alina...

""Kkiieeekk!!""

I saw one by one, the goblins that entered the gate suddenly turn white and fell motionlessly to the ground. It's different from Belle's poison, it's as if they suddenly got an instant death befallen them. All of them became like that after getting a single slash of a single person.

"That's Alina...?"

"T-That girl! She's as crazy as the one-kill archer on the walls!"

"Yeah! I saw it! Every goblin that got even a single slash from her suddenly lose their strength and die!!"

"That sword of her must be cursed! You'll die if you touch it!"

"Why are there so many terrifying women around us!? There was that barbaric archer before, and now there is a creepy girl that sucked a person's life with a single slash?"

Hey, who are you calling barbaric archer, huh? And that creepy girl is my best friend, I'll blast your head like the goblin champions, you know?

"But terrifying women, huh..."

My eyes stopped at the sight of the Madam facing two red goblin champions alone at the same time. But the smile on her face is still there. She leisurely avoided the strikes of the red goblin champions, smashing at the ground and shaking it, making the red goblin champions stumbled on their footings, and smashed their heads with her morningstar.

She's much more barbaric than me, didn't she? By the way, where is gramps?

"Oi! T-That white flash! Is that the white shadow!?"

"Yeah... To think that I would be able to witness the strength of the Madam Fury and the White Shadow directly like this..."

A white figure traveled from one point to another with a flash-like speed, slitting the throats of the goblins he passed cleanly and beautifully. Of course, that white figure is our gramps. He's crazy strong as always, just like the Madam.

"I guess the defense is proceeding very smoothly, huh..."

Just like that, the goblins slowly got completely annihilated by us, leaving a mountain of goblin corpses inside the walls. We then heard that the eastern gate has a little bit much more casualties than our side.

The mercenaries cheered for the successful defense and how the goblins got completely annihilated. Well, there are some uncomfortable rumors about terrifying women on the western gate, but other than that, everything is great.

"I wonder how Lyan's faring there..."
