Oh, is that what it is...?

Shaga had answered this question to many people, but the answers always disappointed him.

"If I said this world is real, would you believe me?"

Although Yuuki didn't understand why Shaka suddenly asked this, she didn't hesitate:

"I believe!"

Yuki's eyes welled up with tears: "I could feel my heart pounding, my muscles aching, the guards' enthusiasm, and the stories they told."

"To me, this is the real world."

Shaka was also moved. My God, this was the first time someone was willing to believe him unconditionally.

"Everything you take out here is real! As long as you're willing to believe it."

Xia Jia said firmly, "Whether it's an antidote or a panacea, it's all the real deal!"

It's hard to say about other weapons and equipment, as those were deliberately priced high and promised by Shaga. But it's different with medicines. The door is only the size of a pinhole, but liquids can pass through smoothly.

Yuki got excited: "Then, then my sister, dad, mom, them?"

Shaka, recalling Yuki's parents' ordeal, nodded earnestly:

"While I cannot guarantee that the disease can be completely cured, the antidote will definitely kill common bacteria and provide some relief."

Immunodeficiency syndrome is a rather troublesome disease, mainly because the body is unable to fight off external viruses, and even a simple cold can be difficult to cure.

Therefore, as long as you eliminate excess viruses in your body and stay in a sterile room, this disease is not actually that scary.

Xia Jia patted Yuki's head: "So, girl, work hard, everything will be alright. After this battle, I'll exchange some antidotes for you. If your contribution isn't enough, you can pay on credit."

Although Xia Jia was kind-hearted, he believed that kindness was appreciated but excessive generosity was resented, which was not what he wanted.

She couldn't start giving things away for free, so even with acquaintances, Xia Jia only offered to pay on credit.

On the city floor.

The residents cooperated with the guards to carry supplies, and Shaga also found two people to bring out the raw materials he had prepared earlier.

Sorami Natsuka came out carrying a wooden box, looking very curious.

"what is this?"

Xia Jia smiled mysteriously: "Wine."

Empty: "Liquor? High-proof liquor?"

Xia Jia frankly admitted, "I originally wanted to sell it for money, but now..."

Kong Daxi pressed on, "Does this world have dish soap?"

What the hell is dish soap? That's a chemical product. How could they even make it in this world? Wait, maybe some genius could. The technology tree in DanMachi is weird to begin with; they can even build mechs now.

Xia Jia asked blankly, "If you want it, you can have it, but what would you need it for?"

"Really?" Kong chuckled. "Find a way to get it out, and I'll give you a surprise."

Time passed second by second, and soon the Takemikazuchi clan also joined the castle defense.

Just as noon arrived, a guard, panting, dragged a basket up the city wall from outside and reported, "The monster army is here!"

Chapter 50 Monster sieges the city

"The monsters are here?"

Xia Jia gazed into the distance, where dark shadows flickered faintly in the mountains and forests, densely packed, like an army.

Bai estimated the distance: "1562 meters."

The city is surrounded by mountains, which slows down the army's advance. However, once within a kilometer, there is a vast plain where the monsters can reach the city in just a few minutes.

Kong grabbed a guard and ordered, "Bring back the people digging the traps outside."

"Yes." The soldier replied solemnly, then turned and left.

Shaja's expression was equally solemn; it was also the first time he had witnessed a war of this scale.

There were too many monsters, and the Sword City itself was not a fortress city. As a commercial city dealing in weapons, its city walls were not high and its defenses were weak.

The good news is that there are many blacksmiths in the city, and a huge amount of equipment, so much so that you can't even throw it all away.

The bad news is: the strongest fighter is [Mud Dog], and the rest are all level 1, with not a single high-ranking adventurer (level 2).

The distance of over 1000 meters was quickly leveled out, and Shaga could already see more than a dozen Minotaur carrying giant logs charging towards the city wall.

"They actually use siege equipment?"

Such a comical scene unfolded before everyone's eyes, and the soldiers panicked.

How can they defend against monsters that obey orders without question? With their heads?

Kong frowned, his morale plummeting right from the start, something he hadn't expected.

"what happened?"

Xia Jia hurriedly explained, "Most monsters are not intelligent. Let alone cutting down trees or making siege equipment, they are considered smart if they can even find weapons to kill people. This is equivalent to the collapse of our worldview."

"If it were just about using trees as weapons, that wouldn't be a problem. The key is that we're currently in a siege. That makes all the difference."

Blank smacked his lips, swallowing his anger, and shouted, "Soldiers, proceed according to plan! Archers!"

At Kong's command, the soldiers, though flustered, still dutifully formed ranks, demonstrating their professionalism.

Draw the bow and nock the arrow.

Holding a sword in his hand, he pointed it at the battlefield ahead and shouted, "Release!"

Whoosh whoosh.

Hundreds of arrows rained down, splashing blood onto the Minotaur, but it didn't hurt him at all.

Unlike ordinary siege battles, one arrow is not enough to take down a monster.

As the Minotaur approached, a series of thuds echoed beneath the city walls, causing them to tremble and scatter clods of earth around them.

Giant logs were embedded in the city wall, forming an upward ladder. Cerberus, earth spirits, and goblins climbed up the logs towards the city tower.

The one that charged fast had already bitten the guard's shoulder.

Kongmian remained calm and composed as he commanded, "Dwarf troops! Step forward and throw! Logistics, take care of the wounded!"

Behind the archers.

Thirty-odd benevolent dwarven blacksmiths rolled up their sleeves, revealing their muscular physiques, and grinned as they pulled a pile of battle axes from chests behind them.

"Hey brothers, let's show these monsters what the blacksmiths are all about."

Hu Hu Hu.

The dwarves, wielding battle axes, hurled them directly at the monsters below the city walls. These were no ordinary small throwing axes, but giant axes with blades a meter long.

Wow, this is incredibly extravagant?!

Shaga was stunned. Those were valuable pieces of equipment. You're treating them like consumables?

Even if you win, you can get it back, but aren't you really afraid that someone will steal it?

Without further hesitation, Shaga grabbed a weapon he couldn't afford and threw it at the monster.

This feeling of throwing money around is just so awesome!

Under the city.

The monster army pressed forward en masse. As they charged, three or five monsters fell into pits and were pierced by swords and blades. Most of the monsters charging at the front perished under the rain of arrows and attacks from giant axes.

A few magic swords, which were sold as commodities, were also brought out, releasing sporadic bursts of flame and lightning.

The situation has reached a stalemate.

The tug-of-war lasted for an hour.

As the cannon fodder among the monsters gradually died out, more and more elites remained. These monsters, whose average potential ability was above B-rank, could no longer be killed by simple bows and crossbows; ballistae were needed to inflict damage.

A saber-toothed tiger charged out from the rear of the troops. It was all black, with black, scattered scales shimmering on its body. In a few flashes, it had already leaped up the city wall using the giant logs.

"Cherry blossoms! Enhanced species!"

"Here it comes!" Sakura, holding a giant shield, immediately blocked the saber-toothed tiger that pounced on her. Then, she ordered her poisoned katana to slash from the side.

The wound was only three fingers long, but it was black and oozing pus. The saber-toothed tiger roared, and with one claw, it knocked away the cherry blossoms and roared again.

"Switch!" the cherry blossoms, which had been blown away, roared.

Yuki, wielding a rapier, charged forward. With an incredibly simple thrust, she instantly created two sword shadows that struck the saber-toothed tiger directly in the eye.

Then, with the cover of Chigusa and the others from the rear, three arrows pierced his brain.

Yuki took advantage of the situation to retreat after a single attack. In her first battle, she appeared clumsy and awkward. If it weren't for her ability to develop into a "Swordsman," she probably wouldn't have been able to form a fighting force.

Such small-scale battles broke out in all directions from the city walls.

From this moment on, the city walls, amidst blank calculations, were engulfed in fierce battle.
