I climbed down from an observation tower and headed to the northern gate of the outer wall.
Whats the plan? I very much doubt that even us can take down that many orcs.
Unsurprisingly, even Selen was feeling anxious.
According to Satins report, there were over 200 orcs sighted so far.
It would probably take at least about a thousand experienced soldiers to take down that many orcs. We had many with combat-type Gifts, but even that would still not be enough.
Oh, how about you build thicker, taller walls? That way, they wont be able to get in.
Thats certainly one thing we can try.
A normal stone wall could be destroyed and climbed over by the orcs with relative ease. If I used facility customization on a stone wall to make it larger though, even the orcs shouldnt be able to enter the village.
However, in that case, the orcs might simply surround the village and wait for us to co out to look for food.
But then again, most of our food supply were produced within the village, so we should be able to stay indoors for quite a long amount of ti.
But leave things to ; I have another idea. Ahm, please open the northern gate!
I gave such command to a forr bandit who guarded the northern gate.
They might have thought that I wanted to open the gate temporarily, for just enough ti to let the rest of the elves in.
No, keep it open! And everyone, step away from the gate for now!
?
When the bewildered guards stepped away, I built a pair of parallel stones walls that stretched toward us. The two new walls established a path from the northern gate.
Is your idea to funnel them through this path? I an, sure, itll limit the number of orcs we have to face to maybe 5 at a ti, but well likely run out of stamina before we take down all of the orcs.
Thats not it, Selen. Ahh, here!
At that mont, a group of young n arrived.
Our village had many won. Our population was currently over a thousand, but only about 300 of us were young adult n.
At any rate, in their hands were a spear I mass-produced through facility customization.
Wait, whats this? Dont tell youre going to make them fight!? Youve got to be kidding. These are orcs were up against; simply increasing our numbers wont be enough!
No, dont worry, I wont make them fight normally.
After pacifying Selen a little, I spoke to n who just arrived.
Everyone, please lend us your help!
Count on us, chief!
For you, chief, Id lay down my life!
Even at the cost of our life, well take down those orcs!
W-wait, theres no need for that much resolve
Their village bond level was quite high, so they tended to say so frightening stuff from ti to ti
anwhile, the elves have passed through the gate.
Because of the obstacle I placed in front of the orcs, the elves made it to the village with so ti to spare.
Eventually, the elves also made it through the path created by the two walls.
SsoLuke-dono, were so sorry! Sorry for getting you wrapped up in this
Among the elves was Philia-san who was catching her breath.
When she found , she suddenly apologized.
Lets talk about the details later. For now, although I know youre all tired, Im going to have to ask you for your cooperation.
Certainly, well do anything! We dont have many who could still fight though
She did say that theyll do anything
Then, can you and your warriors stay here? And just to be sure, be ready to fire your bows.
Are you planning to funnel the orcs with this path and have us shoot at them? Considering our numbers and theirs though
No, like I said, the bows will be just an insurance.
It was less about shooting the orcs and more about being in a place where the orcs could definitely spot them. That way, the orcs would run through this path for certain.
In other words, the elves would be our baits. But as to be expected, it was difficult to directly ask them to be such.
To those who have a spear, please spread yourselves as evenly as possible behind both of these stone walls!
Right after giving those instructions, the first of the orcs entered the path.
Looks like we wont have to worry about at for a while.
