Chapter 126: Monster Wave (2)
It had been a few hours since I started collecting deer with .
It was not an easy task to gather deer.
The animals around ran away as soon as they heard the sound of the deer’s hooves.
But I was a man of stubbornness and guts.
For the sake of my dream of a deer horde, I could find deer without much difficulty.
I opened my eyes wide and searched for deer nearby for my goal.
It was not a simple thing to ta a fleeing deer and join it with other deer.
-You used .
-You used .
-You used .
-You used .
After wandering around for hours looking for deer, I finally made the deer horde I had been longing for.
A horde of terrifying deer that flashed red eyes and breathed out steam.
I had made a fearso unit that only had cavalry.
I couldn’t help but be moved by the sight of the deer that emitted a dreadful aura.
Since it was the result of wasting hours of ti, I had a lot of affection for the deer horde.
“Why do they look so cool when they’re gathered?”
The sight of the proud deer standing with their horns in front was magnificent.
They wouldn’t look awkward even if they got up and punched with their hooves.
When I moved the marker that tied them up slightly forward, the tad deer moved their feet forward gracefully.
Thud. Thud. Thud. Thud.
The sound of their heavy footsteps echoed as they moved in sync.
I looked at the deer rolling forward and expressed my short admiration.
“It feels like I’m a commander of the Demon King’s army.”
They were more like monsters than deer.
When I gathered and moved monsters like this, it felt like I was a commander of the Demon King’s army that would appear in novels.
Usually, the Demon King’s army didn’t collect monsters that were so ferocious.
I usually scoffed at stories about evil gods and such, but today I felt like becoming a commander of the Demon King’s army.
-Grrrrrrrrr.
-Grrrrr.
As they looked at the guidance marker and breathed out together, I decided to move the marker with determination.
I wanted to see the power of the deer horde that I had worked hard to collect.
As I pulled the guidance marker, all the deer started running at once, led by the first one I tad.
A huge dust cloud rose as they ran forward together.
Kugugugugung—!
The earth shook and a loud noise ca out of the speaker every ti the deer stepped on it.
It was a sound that made my chest swell with pride.
I moved the marker on my finger back and forth to guide the direction of the charging deer.
-Grrrrrr!
Every ti the deer’s hooves tore up the ground, the trampled place beca barren.
The flowers that blood brightly were broken and rolled on the floor, and the lush grasses flattened and rged with the ground.
They affected the terrain just by moving in a group.
I felt a different kind of fun from when I tore up the map with magic, as I saw the ground change every ti I moved my finger.
It felt like I was painting over the natural scenery with the guidance marker.
“Ah… This is why I raise deer.”
I led the deer horde through the golden field, and they trampled it with their hooves.
Nothing remained intact where the deer went.
Sotis, beasts blocked the deer’s path, but they were eliminated by their sharp horns.
Nothing could stop the deer that ran in a group with enhanced power.
That was true even for predators that preyed on deer.
The deer’s eyes that glowed red did not discriminate.
-(Drinking water)
-Grrrrr!
-Craaaash!
The deer showed no rcy to the wolf pack that was drinking water.
The wolves were flung into the air by the deer’s horns.
Did Genghis Khan feel like this when he road the plains with his n?
I tried to control the rampaging deer delicately, and removed all the obstacles around them without rcy.
As I guided the deer without pause, I spotted a hunter holding a bow in the distance.
-“Is that a deer?”
-Grrr.
-“It looks sturdy. It would be perfect to roast and eat.”
The hunter aid his bow at a deer that was running ahead of the others, as if he had caught sight of it.
He spoke in a speech bubble.
But there was no way he could stop the charge of the enhanced deer horde with one asly arrow.
The arrow that the hunter shot flew past the head of the leader deer.
The hunter looked disappointed as he watched the leader deer run away.
-“Eek… My hand trembled and I missed.”
But he didn’t seem to give up just because he missed one arrow.
The hunter pulled the bowstring again and aid at the leader deer.
He only realized the true nature of the deer horde a few seconds later.
Koo-goo-goo-goo-gung!
Far behind the leader deer that was running around.
There, the invincible deer horde with glowing eyes revealed themselves.
The deer horde that appeared in front of the hunter imdiately charged at him.
-“Aaaaaah!”
-Karma increased by 1.
The hunter was hit by the deer horde and flew in the air, spinning. Soon, he beca a star in the sky and disappeared.
Of course, leaving behind 1 karma was a bonus.
I smiled with satisfaction as I watched the deer horde blow away the hunter.
The performance of the deer horde that I had collected with difficulty for hours was more than satisfactory.
After checking the power of the rampaging deer, I moved the marker to select the next destination.
“I should take them to the castle this ti.”
How far could I break through with these deer?
I was going to experint with that from now on.
***
A city in Atelot region, Ode-Atelot.
The captain of the guard who was in charge of security there yawned, unable to bear the boredom.
Today was the day that his hundred-man unit guarded the gate of the castle.
He blinked his eyes as he yawned and looked beyond the gate.
In a little while, it would be ti for the ten-man unit that had gone out to patrol around the castle to return.
The reason he ca out to the gate was also to receive a direct report from the ten-man captain.
“Captain. It’s ti for the soldiers who went out for patrol to return.”
“Is it that ti already?”
As if to remind him of that fact, one of his subordinates told him.
It was a procedure to check again in case of ergency.
The captain answered his subordinate and looked at the distant forest.
The atmosphere that swayed under the scorching sun distorted the appearance of the forest.
The captain took off his helt and wiped his sweat, and then his subordinate who had reported to him pointed at sothing far away with his hand.
“Captain…”
“Do you see them coming back already? You really have an amazing eye.”
“That’s not the whole ten-man unit that went out for patrol… It looks like only one soldier is rushing back here.”
The captain praised him for a mont, but he couldn’t help but be confused by the content of his report.
Despite sending out a ten-man unit for patrol, his subordinate only saw one soldier returning. That ant sothing had gone wrong.
The captain’s eyes turned to where his subordinate’s finger pointed.
While they were talking, the soldier was running desperately. Maybe because of that, the captain could also see a soldier bleeding and approaching slowly in his sight.
“Did they fight in the forest…?”
This area was patrolled regularly by Ode-Atelot’s guard unit.
If a soldier who went out for patrol ca back injured from there, it ant there was sothing problematic around.
For example, like encountering an enemy force that was exploring their patrol area.
Sensing an ominous atmosphere, the captain gave an order to his subordinates in his hundred-man unit.
“Everyone! Raise your alert!”
“Yes!”
“Stop the checkpoint for now! I’ll give further instructions after I get the report!”
The captain’s eyes stared at the soldier who was approaching with injuries.
The soldier was running with blood dripping from his head, gasping for breath.
There was no sign of any other soldiers behind him.
The captain raised his hand at the sight of the soldier.
Clank.
The guard unit raised their spears and stopped the soldier who was running urgently.
The soldier stopped in front of the guard unit that had a fierce aura.
He caught his breath and looked at the captain.
“Huff, huff…”
“What happened? Why did you co back alone?”
“It’s a disaster, huff… a disaster, sir!”
“Explain in detail. What happened to the other guards?”
“That’s, that’s…”
The soldier who was reporting trembled as the captain interrogated him.
The soldier who had turned pale looked behind him periodically, as if he was terrified.
The captain reached out his hand to the soldier’s shoulder and cald him down.
The soldier’s eyes that t the captain’s were bloodshot.
The captain gripped the soldier’s shoulder firmly and asked him.
“I’ll ask you again. Why did you co back alone? And what happened to the ten-man captain and the other guards?”
“They were all killed by them! I had no choice but to run away!”
Ouch.
The captain’s hand that held the soldier’s shoulder tightened.
The captain pressed his forehead against the soldier’s and glared at him.
The soldier’s face beca even whiter under the captain’s fierce gaze.
“Make yourself clear! Who killed them all?”
“Deer! Watch out for deer!”
“Deer? What are you talking about?”
“Deer are coming!”
He suddenly warned them to be careful of deer.
It was an incomprehensible story for the captain.
What did he an by deer coming?
They could easily catch a deer or two if they stuck together as a ten-man unit.
That’s what he thought as he was about to question the soldier again.
“What do you an by deer, ah…”
He saw a huge herd of deer coming from afar and stopped talking.
Koo-goo-goo-goo-gung!
From the forest far away, deer were running with smoke rising behind them.
They had sharp horns on their heads and glowing eyes.
They looked like demons from hell.
As he saw the deer running with a loud noise, he quickly threw the soldier inside.
And he gave an order to the guards who were guarding the gate.
“Deer are coming! Close the gate!”
“Close the gate!”
It was obvious what would happen if the deer ca into the city.
The guards who heard the captain’s order rushed to the gate and started to close it.
Those who were being checked also ran inside, but the guards had no ti to stop them.
Screech.
The heavy gate moved and made a loud friction sound.
The guards who closed the gate quickly locked it with a bolt.
Barely in ti to close the gate, one of the guards who was on duty on the wall shouted in a loud voice.
“Deer are coming!”
Right after his warning voice ended.
There were successive impacts on the closed gate.
Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!
A pile of deer ramd into it and made a loud noise.
The captain looked at the gate that was shaking from being hit by deer and felt a chill on his back.
Despite being made sturdy, the gate was shaken by the deer’s collision.
If this continued, the gate might collapse because of the deer.
He looked at his subordinate next to him and gave an order.
He had to call those who he needed most at this mont here.
“It’s an ergency! Report to the lord and the guard commander imdiately!”
“What should I report?”
“A monster wave has occurred!”
