Others Summon Dragons, I Summon Legendary Knights

Chapter 203: Dread In Athens

”Send them to the attic.” Andreas whispered to Zoe, his wife, and continued looking through a small opening in the fortified window. He could see short beings with digitigrade legs, red scales, dragon-like heads, and long tails slaughtering unfortunate people.

Some of them even used their crude spears and knives, but mostly their claws and fangs.

These kobolds wore ragged loincloths, and a good number of them had slingshots, which they used to shoot down those far away. The power of their slingshots was able to open holes through the body.

The driver, who peeped from a different opening, shuddered as he saw a kobold much bigger than the others, with a broad axe swung over his shoulder.

It broke through the wall of a building, and both men didn’t need to think much to know those in that building were dead. But didn’t this also mean their house couldn’t save them?

Just at the thought of that, the huge kobold came out of the building, his axe dripping with blood as he glared straight at Andreas’ home.

Their hearts pounded, eyes shrinking as fear took hold, gripping them tight as death flashed before their eyes.

The huge kobold spoke a strange language, and the minions with their slingshots, knives, and spears turned toward Andreas’ home.

But at that moment, bullets came flying in, piercing through the kobold minions’ scales, and many of them fell, but the huge kobold was able to protect his eyes while the bullets bounced off his tough scales.

Andreas, who saw all this, hurried to another window and peeped. From there, he saw an armoured truck with a good number of foot soldiers moving alongside it.

Their summons were white hounds that could stand like humans due to their well-developed digitigrade legs.

They could also run on all fours, making them able to excel at both. They wore military-grade armour matching the camouflage uniforms their summoners wore. Some of them had the kind of machine guns mounted on helicopters at their backs.

Each shot tore through a kobold with ease. Together with their summoners, the number of Athens forces was over forty.

The bullets from the summons were enough to make the huge kobold stagger, but it lost control of its rage and charged toward them, the broad axe scraping the asphalt road, unleashing yellow sparks.

With each step, the huge kobold, a Lord Tier dungeon monster, cracked the asphalt, and he got faster and faster. But right at the moment it leaped high, the broad axe aloft, the armoured tank lifted up its barrel and unleashed a shot.

It shattered the huge kobold, and its axe fell, pinning itself to the asphalt as if such a hard road was wet mud.

Andreas almost cried out in relief as the soldiers and their summons began to clear up the kobolds in the vicinity.

When all the kobolds were shot dead, a coach bus suddenly manifested behind the tank. On it was a chameleon. It was almost as big as the entire length of the bus.

This chameleon must have had an adaptive skill that allowed it to adjust its weight and an innate skill that allowed it to camouflage itself so well it couldn’t be seen, smelt, or heard, and that ability hid the coach bus from the kobolds.

Andreas breathed lightly as a soldier approached their door with his summon and knocked before retreating and aiming his gun at the place.

”Is anyone still in there?”

”Y-Yes, we’re still here.” Andreas breathed out in relief as he opened the door.

”Please head for the bus, we don’t have much time.” The soldier said. Andreas gathered his family and left the house while the driver was ahead of them.

Several other families were on their way to the coach bus, everyone moving quickly as some had already settled inside it. No one wanted to be the last to discover there was no more space for either them or a member of their family.

George looked around as his father carried both him and his sister. His eyes widened at the sight of strange creatures flying toward them.

”Dad... what’s that?!” George hurriedly tapped his father’s shoulder.

”Stop, George! Let’s get to the bus first!” Andreas responded while gasping for breath, but George didn’t stop.

”T-They’re... they’re monsters!”

George’s scream made Andreas, his wife, and others who heard the little boy’s scream tilt their heads to where he was pointing. To their horror, they saw winged kobolds.

The soldiers had already spotted them, and they unleashed bullets. Dozens of winged kobolds fell, but the few that remained summoned fireballs that consumed over a dozen summons and less than a dozen soldiers!

Screams filled the air. Seeing the commotion going on around the bus and the number of people rushing toward it, Andreas turned back.

He couldn’t take his chances when that was the sole focus of the monsters.

The sound of explosions roared behind him as he ran. He could feel his children clutching tight to his skin and hear his wife’s pants behind him.

Just then, there was a loud explosion as the tank blew open like popcorn. The bus was sent lurching backwards, right into a building with the people within it.

The forceful air blast caused by the explosion lifted Andreas and his wife off their feet. Andreas groaned when he hit the floor, but his worry was his children. He turned and saw his wife bleeding from her head as she was already unconscious.

Andreas’ eyes reddened. ”Zoe...” He almost went, torn between his children and his wife.

Then, crude spears tore through the chests of the winged kobolds. Andreas’ eyes almost widened in relief when he heard malicious chuckles as green-skinned monstrosities, goblins, came out from the distance, hundreds of them.

What terrified him the most were the taller beings behind these goblins. Hobgoblins, armed from head to toe with blood-red armour and gleaming yellow eyes.

It was an entire army, and Andreas doubted anything survived from where they came from. And soon... he and his family might be amongst the dead.
