The Support Manages the Adventurer Parties!! Chapter 27

The battle tactics of an ordinary adventurer is similar to that of a hunter.

In the modern world, it would be similar to the special forces.

In a party with a small number of people to sneak up on a monster and overcome it with attack power.

If there aren't enough people to overcome a monster, they turn to traps and other strategies.

However, the s.h.i.+eld and crossbow soldiers make up more than half the members of Kenkiba. They are expensive to maintain.

In both my world and this world, s.h.i.+elds are thick wooden boards usually with metal around the edges and backed with leather, it is also standard to throw away a s.h.i.+eld after battle.

If you block attacks with a s.h.i.+eld it will become riddled with scratches and holes.

You can ask for a s.h.i.+eld to be repaired, but you are better off using a new one. Otherwise, there is a larger possibility that it will break when blocking an attack.

This is why s.h.i.+elds are less popular with adventurers.

Entirely metals s.h.i.+elds are too heavy to use effectively. I have heard that in the military there are s.h.i.+eld soldiers that use a s.h.i.+eld with two hands. Though I have never actually seen them. Are they used when fighting Dragons?

Although crossbows are powerful weapons, they are expensive to manufacture. They are fragile and it is impossible to fire quickly and in succession. However, if you can arrange a number of them and keep them maintained properly, they are a force to be reckoned with. If you have a vanguard equipped with s.h.i.+elds protecting them while they reload and if you have someone to break the enemies s.h.i.+elds their combat prowess increases.

However, it is not cheap.

It is necessary to have warrior blacksmiths to carry spare s.h.i.+elds and parts and repair crossbows and s.h.i.+elds.

You can reduce the need to repair and replace s.h.i.+elds and armour by having them blessed with defensive magic by a war monk. (TN: Can be monk or priest will leave as monk unless it is stated that they are actually priests.)

Though this way of fighting the Kenkiba corps completed many quests and racked up a lot of achievements.

The best way to fight an ogre is using traps.

When I was an adventurer I ricked my life fighting a two-meter-tall hob-goblin. After somehow defeating it I swore I would never fight one head on again.

However, the Kenkiba corps is equipped and trained to be able to crush any opponent from the front.

They have both talented people and a first-cla.s.s combat doctrine.

I may end up releasing less chapters because I am currently in the middle of picking up another novel to translate that I am interested in. I will not drop this series but there may be 1 or 2 fewer releases each week depending on how busy I am.
