my guy, stfu about "it's not a big deal" or "i'm only doing what's expected". it's like it's his catchphrase wtf

merlin: don't be arrogant
mc: does humble bragging any chance he got

 

[Kaarme]

Just how rotten was the city wall that the defenders couldn't rely on it? Of course the wall was drawn really thin, but that's just the usual manga graphical mistake and shouldn't affect functionality. Although perhaps the wall really was decorative this time. Quite a funny frontier town in that case. Maybe most of the wall budget was embezzled. Probably the hero's grandpa was responsible for it, haha.

When you have such a master, your confidence and common senses are utterly crushed. They raise you to their standards, not to others.

With how many monsters like that and they're rushing straight to, high chance it won't hold the kinetic force.

That thought visited my mind as well, but then I realised the adventurers and knights are stopping the monsters with their shields anyway. So, there's no such unstoppable force. Who knows, maybe they did it to gather all the monsters in the same place. Otherwise it's possible the monsters would have encircled the whole town. Perhaps the defenders didn't have enough people to watch the whole length of the wall, thus risking some arthropod monsters climbing the walls and assaulting civilians.

There's a difference between rushing straight to the gate, which is a wall's thinnest point, and rushing, then jumping upward to a wall of shields. In the former case, the full kinetic force of the impact will transfer to the gate and likely, if not immediately, break it. In the latter case, depends on velocity and angle, the force is decreased. Shield bearers can also lower their shields on purpose to lessen the force then push back, pushing monsters down the trench they prepared.

I agree with you about gathering all monsters to one side though, based on the number of combatants presented it's clearly not enough to defend the city wall.

 

[androgynous]

Well one of the biggest mistakes made in manga and also in many movies, is the absence of moats,barricades and other defense gadgets

That's exactly what I said, him acting all nonchalant about the shit he pulls off, would make me wanna punch him in the face, he was told by Merlin to not be arrogant when he becomes powerful, but he's doing exactly that, just not like Allen


Shit is so aggravating

His master tells him not to be cocky/arrogant

Yet her teachings literally groomed that behavior into him, and killed his self confidence in the process

She's an L teacher imo, idc if he's powerful and knows shit, if he gets reduced to that

 

[LordScat]

Since the mages uses weak fire to burn the monster, i think it'll be wise to combat outside the wall to not risk burning the city with burning monsters too...

Not that it doesn't exist but it only seems to exist when the MC specifically builds it like 5 minutes before the raid lol

My guess is, it's built of low-level stone that isn't as tough as fantasy metals they make shields from, and that can't compare to the strength of a typical frontline combatant of the setting. So monsters that reach the wall would be able to break through it easily.
Perhaps there just weren't any good stone quarries anywhere near, and the wall is still useful against low-level monsters or siege engines.

 

[TheProtectorOfPureHeartedGirls]

I definitely want the shield girl in my harem. The most logical character out there.

 

[BigPoppaEffy]

That actually wasn't too bad of a defense though they should've had people with spears right behind the shield wall. Still, they held out...or Lloyd and crew just got there faster lol

 

[Coldlight]

Yet another "I created my own magic, but it's nothing special" BS right after performing near miraculous healing that outdoes most specialist healers.

But I will give this credit for having Silica, the offensive magic specialist, actually do the monster nuking with buffs instead of the MC doing it himself as is typical of such stories.

Also I kinda like that the entire combatant force of the town mounted a defense with at least halfway decent tactics. I would've liked it better if they relied on the walls first, but I suppose there just weren't enough people to man the entire perimeter, so luring the enemy force to one area and then doing point defense was the next best thing.

I hope the mc stops being a complete retard at some points. will drop this soon otherwise
