Just when everyone was about to breathe a sigh of relief, a carrion sandworm emerged from the foot of the city wall and suddenly appeared directly in front of Owen.

[Wow! Be careful, Owen!] Winster, who was watching the last wave of fierce battle, couldn't help but exclaimed.

When did this big bug come here?! Everyone present was shocked.

Perhaps everyone's attention was attracted by the fifty or so large undead monsters, and they neglected the carrion killing insects that were sneaking underground.

In short, the scouts responsible for monitoring movements in the north were negligent.

At this time, Mapel, who was supposed to be by Owen's side, happened to not be nearby.

Because Owen felt that his side was unlikely to be in danger, he sent Mapel to support the dangerous section of the city wall.

Roar--

The carrion sandworm opened the huge mouth of the abyss, leaned down and stretched towards where Owen was.

"No! Lord Owen!" Mapel suddenly became anxious.

She raised her magic sword and slashed an ice blade towards her, even though she knew that this attack could not stop the carrion from killing insects.

This was another deep self-blame for Mapel. The first time was when he encountered a strange silver ball in the experimental field.

If she had known earlier, she should not have obeyed the order and continued to stay by Owen's side.

Time is running out, and it is estimated that using fireballs will be difficult to repel the Carrion Sandworms. Turning around and running away will only lead to faster death, and it seems that others will have no time to save themselves.

With no other choice, Owen could only use defensive magic - fire shield.

After reciting the short incantation quickly, flames ignited all over his body. With a wave of his staff, the flames gathered in front of him, forming a huge flame shield.

This thing can block a bow and arrow, but it's unclear whether it can withstand the attack of the carrion sandworm, and Owen is not sure.

At this critical moment, a huge gunshot sounded across the sky.

Bang!

An iron ball quickly flew over and directly penetrated the carrion sandworm near its head. The body was instantly broken into two parts, the head in front fell on the city wall, and the skirt in the back collapsed.

The head that fell on the city wall twitched a few times and then stopped moving.

Owen turned around and saw that it was the artillery shell fired by Blue's artillery team.

The iron ball flew far away and finally landed on the transverse mountain range.

After giving the order to fire, Blue took a long breath and reached out to wipe the cold sweat from his forehead.

It scared me to death, but luckily I was hit. The lord should be fine.

[What a thrill. The artilleryman who ordered the firing made a great contribution. You must reward him well.] Winster was also a false alarm.

【This is definitely necessary.】

Mapel rushed back as quickly as possible and hurriedly asked: "Sir Owen, are you okay?"

"fine."

Withdrawing his magic, Owen looked down at the dirt on his body.

Just now, the carrion killer was hit by a cannonball right in front of him, causing a large amount of unknown yellow liquid to be sprayed out, as well as some minced meat.

Although the fire shield blocked most of it, some of it still splashed onto the clothes.

Feeling a little disgusted, Owen raised his hand and patted off two small pieces of minced meat on his chest.

"Lord Owen!"

Arriving in front of Irving, Mapel, who was out of control, hugged him and tears instantly burst into her eyes.

"I thought... I thought... you would die here, I'm so scared..."

"Uh... Mapel, I'm fine, I'm fine."

Don't think that Owen enjoys the embrace of beautiful women. In fact, the armor on Mapel's body is extremely hard. He wishes he could break away early, but he just doesn't want to embarrass Mapel.

Viscount Jarvis and Bray, who came over later, saw this scene and quietly retreated.

They took away Rusala who had just arrived, and urged everyone to quickly eliminate the remaining undead monsters and not to disturb the lord.

After calming down a little, Mapel let go of Owen as if he was electrocuted, and her cheeks suddenly turned red and hot.

"Um...oh...ah!! What did I do?!"

Regarding her behavior, Mapel was too shy to confront Owen directly, so she simply turned around and ran away.

Could it be that Mapel is interested in me... Owen seems to have noticed something.

Not far away, Viscount Jarvis and Bray looked at him with inexplicable smiles.

"Hmm." Owen had to fake cough to cover up his embarrassment.

Next, the various units continued to work together to annihilate the remaining undead monsters.

As the last undead monster fell, the people present raised their weapons and burst into loud cheers.

After a whole winter of defensive battle, they finally won.

Facts have proved that Bianzhu Town can survive the winter safely by relying on its own strength.

In the medical hospital behind the city wall, Teresa and other priests were actively treating soldiers injured in the battle, including both humans and lizardmen.

Withdrawing the healing spell, she smiled and nodded to a human wounded person.

"After the treatment, you try to move around."

The wounded man tried to move his arm and found that the wound only left a scar and was not painful at all. He was immediately excited.

"Thank you, Priest. Thank you very much."

"You're welcome, this is what we should do."

After the wounded retreated, Teresa turned to look at the north window, her eyes full of worry.

I have heard the roar of artillery several times in a row. I wonder what the battle situation is like on the north side of the city wall? Is Lord Owen still directing everyone to fight hard?

After a while, a militiaman ran into the medical hospital with great joy and informed everyone of the victory in the battle.

"The battle is over. The undead monsters still failed to break through our defense line in the end. We won!"

"Oh yeah!!"

"Thank you God for blessing!"

"We must also thank the lord who led us!"

Knowing that the northern city wall had successfully blocked the undead monster's attack, the wounded couldn't help but stand up and shout.

Reaching out to wipe the sweat from her forehead, Teresa also showed a happy smile. Then, she went to the north window, opened it, and looked at the city wall in the distance.

It's finally over, and Border Guard Town has spent the winter safely. It's great, Lord Owen.

The news soon spread to the small town, and the townspeople walked out of their homes one after another, cheering and running around to tell each other and spread the news.

More and more people know about this happy event.

Clive immediately took out the victory announcement he had prepared in advance and prepared to post it on the bulletin board in the square.

Weiru looked up to the sky and laughed: "Hahaha! This is all thanks to me repairing the gap in the city wall. Of course, the cement from the Marquis also helped a lot."

Gita is still concentrating on blacksmithing, ignoring what is going on outside the window. Now he just wants to quickly build the machine on the design drawings, and while serving the lord, he can pry into the mysterious power of the unknown field.

Fanny beat her shoulders and said to the uncle beside her: "Uncle Garcia, we have made a huge contribution to Border Guard Town, right?"

"Probably so," Garcia responded.

In the church, Bishop Flynn stood in front of the statue of the god, clasped his hands, lowered his head, and prayed with gratitude: "Thank you god for blessing Border Guard Town and allowing us to get through this difficult time."

【well--】

There seemed to be a brief sigh in his mind, which made Bishop Flynn confused.

Huh? What's going on? Was that the sigh of the gods you just heard? Or was it an auditory hallucination?
