Chapter 40
[Because I have [Divine Protection]]
Of course everyone already knows about it from Feryu’s story earlier .
It might be possible to manage with the power of my Divine Protections, the real aning is sothing like ‘don’t mind the details’ .
However, because I was told they couldn’t leave everything to it was decided that I’ll have a couple of extra people help .
[Do you have any requests?]
[Well, since you’re asking . Please lend us several people who are good at archery . ]
A total of 8 combatants and 2 ssengers were prepared .
I don’t rember their nas from when they were introduced individually, but I was surprised that there was a woman among them .
When the introduction ended, we head towards the West gate at once .
It’s only a short hour before the attack . It took ti because of that idiot .
Ayla and Raru’s group were waiting outside the West Gate . Even though I already explained to the assistants about our subordinate monsters, they still seem uncomfortable around them .
We are prepared to intercept, but before that we dig a ditch about 200m from the gate . it’s about 50 cm deep and it covers an area of about 25mx50m .
Raru’s group has already almost finished working on it .
Next, we prepared a formation of several panic ghosts in the forest .
Finally, Amy, Zir, the assistants, and the goblin archers were gathered in front of gate . They’re behind a 5m tall improvised brick wall we made with earth magic and water magic, and dried with wind magic and fire magic .
I should study how to make concrete so ti .
The exterior of the brick wall is curved so that the inside has a gentle slope making it possible to retreat towards the gate, while on the outside it looks like a vertical cliff surrounding the gate .
I also considered digging a pithole outside the wall, but I gave up on it due to lack of manpower .
I told our archers not to venture out by themselves as they might get hit by enemy projectiles .
We completed our preparations ten minutes before the arrival of the monsters .
It’s thanks to Zir that we had enough ti to prepare .
『Master, The ones being lured by the sll will arrive shortly . 』
[Is that you, Zir?]
I heard Zir’s voice from the approaching ghost behind . This one is called a whisper ghost and has the power to deliver the voice of the human who summoned it .
[Please tell earlier if such a convenient ghost is available . ]
[Sorry . But Master, We’ve hardly been apart since the day you bought . No good opportunity to talk about it appeared either . ]
[So it is . ]
The monster vanguard had appeared from the forest while I was speaking with Zir . they co toward the sll which drifted from the ditch beneath my feet .
Half of the monsters were afflicted with [Panic], and were rushing towards the [Demon’s Perfu] which drifted from the liquid from the ditch .
With room to spare I cast Firestorm towards the leading monsters .
The firestorm used the flow of air to send a breeze of [Demon’s Perfu] adrift towards the forest .
The monsters who appear as the vanguard mostly consist of light-footed beast monsters and flying-type monsters .
The flying type monsters spun in the air because of the violent turbulence created by the magic .
Moreover, the wall of fla was cast in the front of beast-type monsters on the ground to stop their movent .
This way both groups were driven to the sa place and were finished off by the firestorm .
[Fuu . Now it’s ti to sweep the monsters that escaped . ]
The vanguard numbered only 50 monsters . more are coming .
15 minutes behind the monster vanguard the main forces arrived at last .
Around 30 percent is in a state of [Panic], but we don’t know what effect this has on such a close formation of monsters .
Orcs, fragrance ants, and armor mantis… There were a lot of familiar monsters . They’re approaching at an amazing speed .
Finally, the main force reaches the center of the ditch which we dug earlier . A thick red liquid fills the ditch which was the origin of the sll . This is also my trump card .
[Ruby, you can eat now!!]
And then, the liquid in the trench forms tentacles towards the surrounding monsters and restrains them . The ones who escape the restraints are deprived of their freedom slowly by the new tentacles that appear at their feet .
[Welco to the [Sli Pool] (kanji: mucus paradise) . Make sure to not drown while having fun!!]
One by one the monsters fascinated by the [Monster Perfu] were inflicted with [panic] .
To this end the monsters are enjoying their tentacle play and their lotion play all around . To be honest, I didn’t expect such hobbies other than in hell .
[Owner, I request an explanation about tentacle play and lotion play]
That [Lewd Book] seems to be doing just fine at this ti as well .
I blew the monster whistle while ignoring it (TN: he ans the Lewd Book) . Right away the goblin force led by Raru cos from the behind of monster horde, pushing more of the monster horde into the [Sli Pool] .
[Raru, good job~]
Only Ayla and are besides the [Sli Pool], but we efficiently finish off the monsters who keep resisting .
30 minutes later, Raru’s group has pushed back all the monsters into the [Sli Pool], and completely encircled the ditch .
Because Ruby can’t distinguish between Raru’s group and the invading monsters in the ditch, my job is to push back the monsters who try to run away .
The monsters who still remain inside the ditch numbered around 50 . Ruby absorbs the monsters into its body with its skill and dispose of them in an instant . (TN: The monsters)
[Yosh, it’s all good around here . Zir, how is the east gate?]
[Let’s see, the east gate is not yet breached because everyone is fighting hard]
According to our plans the battle around the east gate relies on the town walls . Although they’ve used a lot already they make use of offensive items at the base of the walls .
However there are a lot of tricky monsters left like skeletons and nitro powder butterflies . (EN: seriously how does the author keep coming up with these nas)
[Does the east gate stand a chance to win the battle?]
The Necromancer who released the zombies in town might control the skeletons .
I pass Raru’s group so potions while I make preparation to rescue the east gate . .
[The main unit has arrived already and the majority of the monsters are clinging close to the gate itself . Although we keep attacking from the town walls with throwing stones and magic, it seems we won’t be able to defeat them all . ]
We decided to initiate an attack from the side of the town walls near the East Gate . The invading monsters are already reduced by half so it’ll probably work out
I inford our assistants of the strategy and let them go ahead to convey it to the East Gate .
I’ll have them help Zir out over there .
As soon as Raru’s troops have finished their recovery we received a report from Zir that the combat preparations for the assault is complete .
『If possible I’d like you to co over as soon as you’re ready . 』 (ED: said by Zir through whispering ghost)
[Understood, I’ll let you know before we begin the attack, so please stop throwing stones and magic attacks at that ti . ]
『I get that, I already let everyone know . 』
[I see . oh, we’ve arrived already . I’m starting the attack now . ]
We charge the monsters who cling onto the gate .
While swinging my sword Raru and I form the vanguard .
We charge the monsters . Several Orcs were sent flying .
Using the montum of the charge we distanced ourselves again from the monsters . Before the invading monsters could reform their lines we charge again .
I cut down the Ogres who stand before with my sword . The monsters blown away by my attacks are groaning all around .
Once again we make the best use of our montum and take so distance again . The monster might beco accustod if we continue the hit and run tactics, so instead of charging again we adopt a tight formation .
Rather than engaging in another lee we switch to long-range magic attack .
[The necromancer boss doesn’t seem to be around, huh . ]
While I was saying that, the earth started rumbling from the East .
When I looked to see the origin of the noise I saw a giant near 20m tall approaching us .
[C-cyclops!]
Indeed, there is only one big eye on the giant’s face . This is a cyclops .
The giant slowly approaches the adventurer town . It’s like it was ridiculing our victory after repelling the large horde of monsters a mont ago .
