Oh no! After I Reincarnated, My Moms Became Son-cons!

Chapter 28
“Your Majesty, it appears that n.o.body will attack us . ”


I stood here until the sun went down, when we ran out of energy . The sun couldn’t relieve us of the cold air in the North . The sky had started to turn dark . All I could see now was a vague black fortress, which was our simply constructed wooden walls that we just made, and also our current camp .


We didn’t have the time to build a complete fortress yet, because we had too many things to do today . Building the simple fortress was the best we could manage .


The cannon formation now lost its purpose . If they couldn’t be watched over, both we and the enemy would be at high risk of being blown up . Initially, I wanted to create fireworks out of them, but it didn’t seem possible now .


I said to the messenger next to me, “Have the cannon team prepare . Transport them through the night . ”


Philes looked at the fire torches and the bonfire . He asked, “Do you intend to cross over now, then, Your Majesty? It looks like safe now . n.o.body has come over; our scouts have also reported no anthropoid activity sightings nearby . Perhaps the anthropoids do not intend to attack us . ”


“Ah, we’ll cross during the day tomorrow . ”


I shook out my cloak, and then looked at the people still crowding on the bridge . I elaborated, “It takes time to transport cannons . Let’s not cross over and cause chaos yet . It’s also dangerous for us to cross the bridges at night . We’ll cross at daytime . If you don’t locate any anthropoids, then there’s no need to strengthen our defences . Our soldiers are likely tired today, so let them have a good rest, tonight . We’ll advance tomorrow during the day . ”


“Roger . ”


Philes nodded . He then turned around to pa.s.s down my orders .


I looked at Tanya, who sat next to me . I bent over at the waist and stroked her head, “Tanya, what do you think? You understand the anthropoids better than I do . Do you think we’re safe now?”


“I don’t know . ”


Tanya looked toward the other side . Bored, she sniffled as she kicked her feet, “I do not know if we are safe or not . I am here right now, and I do not have a scout team to go out there with me . I do not know if there are anthropoids nearby just by looking, either . However, if the scouts have reported so, then we should be safe . The anthropoids are brainless, after all . ”


Ling Yue, who was next to me, frowned unhappily, but she didn’t say anything .


Ling Yue and Tanya had a poor relationship . Tanya’s family was killed by plundering anthropoids . She wanted revenge; she resented every anthropoid, including Ling Yue who suffered an ill fate as she did . Tanya had no sympathy for her .


Other than Ling Yue, the other person Tanya disliked most had te be Freya . I didn’t know why they disliked each other, but they were full of hostility for each other upon first meeting .


Ling Yue didn’t say anything . She just looked to the other side and softly said, “I never imagined that the North would’ve fallen to this state . I thought that they’d obtained power, but they haven’t fulfilled their duty at all . I would be consoled if I got to saw the races unite… but by the looks of things as they are now, the North really has completely fallen . ”


“That’s good news to us, however . I’ll be able to send my men over without any casualties, and you can destroy the four races without any negative sentiments . ”


I smiled, and then turned around . I knocked on the ground with my sword and went on, “All right . Everyone, it appears our first day here is over . n.o.body is hurt, and there are no turbulences . I hope things continue this way . Now we can go back to have a meal and sl-…”


A sound resembling an avalanche suddenly came from our northern direction before I could finish . I quickly spun around to look in the direction of the North, but I couldn’t see anything in the darkness .


It sounded as though there was something rolling toward our camp . I saw the men around the fire jump up and pick up their weapons before rushing over in its direction . The sentries on the wooden walls threw a large number of fire potions, lighting up the oil inside the ditch in front of the camp .

It sounded as though there was something rolling toward our camp . I saw the men around the fire jump up and pick up their weapons before rushing over in its direction . The sentries on the wooden walls threw a large number of fire potions, lighting up the oil inside the ditch in front of the camp .


Only then did I finally see clearly what had happened . It was large snowdrift coming toward us, but it wasn’t an avalanche . At most, it was snowdrift rolling toward us slowly .


I let out a breath of relief . It seemed it was just a minor avalanche . I was glad it wasn’t an enemy attack .


The soldiers let out sighs of relief . They had reloaded their guns and prepared for battle . They then turned around, but then I suddenly noticed that something stood up from the snowdrift…


‘Snow can’t stand up!’


“s.h.i.t!!!”


I cried out, but it was too late . It wasn’t snowdrift, but a disguise . White silhouettes popped up from the snow . They pushed the snow into the ditch, putting out the fire in the ditch . The white silhouettes roared as they charged toward our camp . A light jump was all it took for them to vault over the ditch after which they immediately rushed to our timber walls . They didn’t have any technique . They simply jumped up onto our walls . All of them were as light as cats . Our timber walls were child’s play to them .


I mentioned it before . In a long distance fight, I could take down the anthropoids without any casualties, but I couldn’t say the same for close-quarters combat .


The anthropoids in the snowdrift came out similarly to the soldiers that poured out of the Trojan horse and entered Troy . They roared as they swung their weapons . They didn’t have spears, but that didn’t affect them, since spears hampered movement when fighting in close quarters and in densely packed zones . The soldiers weren’t the stupid anthropoids; all of them were oddly strong and extremely agile .


Behind them were more white silhouettes that jumped out from the snow . They leapt up high and rushed into our camp that was already in disarray . Metal reflected the flames, while gunfire and cries before death transmitted into my ears .


“d.a.m.n it! d.a.m.n it! d.a.m.n it! d.a.m.n it!!!!!”


“d.a.m.n it! d.a.m.n it! d.a.m.n it! d.a.m.n it!!!!!”


I thundered as I watched the chaos below ensue, I clenched my fists tightly, yet couldn’t do anything . The soldiers were evidently shocked by the anthropoids’ random a.s.sault . A fight between two races is bound to not end nicely . Behind my soldiers was a bottomless cliff . With the anthropoids pushing and squeezing, the anthropoids in front of my soldiers appeared to them as death G.o.ds that were here for their lives .


“d.a.m.ned humans!! p.i.s.s off back to your lands!!”


I heard angry shouts from anthropoids amidst all the shouting .


“Reform the ranks! Reform the ranks, idiots!! The enemies number few! The enemies number few! Hold the lines! We just need to recover from the chaos!!”


I grabbed the rifle to my side, took aim at a white silhouette and pulled the trigger .


That was just the initial chaos . We just needed to hang in there for a bit, and then we’d be able to push them back . They only had so many men, so they had no hope of driving us back!


Our generals shouted over the ruckus to reform our ranks . The platoon stationed at the rear of the fortress, finally returned to the front . Our normal soldiers retreated to the rear and raised their guns .


‘Once our formation is formed, we’ll kill as many as they have to offer!’


*Horn sounds*


A strange horn sound then suddenly came from between the valleys . I lingered for a moment, as I had no idea what the sound meant . The anthropoids in our camp clearly knew, though .


They immediately stopped in their tracks, and then began to take turns covering each other to swiftly disappear into the darkness .

Our soldiers opened fire, but n.o.body knew if we hit our targets or not . I couldn’t see them any longer . They were akin to phantoms .


‘They acted far too swiftly! This group of anthropoids were far too nimble!’


“Ling Yue…”


I wore on a cold and stern expression . I threw the gun away . I looked at the fortress now in a sea of flames and coldly asked, “Do you know which race that was?”


Ling Yue looked at me with a hint of fear and timidly answered, “They should be the personal guard unit of the panther race . Their commander is Marvel… If their race leader is personally leading them, then…”


“Marvel…”


I repeated the name, and then ruthlessly slapped myself across the face .


‘I was too careless this time . ’
