8th floor – Lv. 55 Disciple (3)
Let’s worry about space later. There are a lot of issues that need to be overcome.
A thousand lucky things happened.
The lava hammer shock corps, which seemed to advance toward the gates at any moment, joined the devastated Stormcrying Brigade.
Since there is no grass nearby, the power of the God of Nature is not even reachable.
A few wizards and fairies went to the vicinity to observe.
The two armies that joined seemed to begin by rebuilding their garrison.
The surviving shamans will also be detecting this.
The identity of the bombardment must have been known, and there is a high probability of thinking that it will be difficult for an attack like this to occur again.
I would love to betray that idea nicely, but unfortunately it’s true.
Most of the leaf fairy spirits are scattered around the corner of the forest in a state of exhaustion of their magical powers.
Magic power doesn’t recover quickly. After exhaustion, it takes at least a day to recover to full power, and a week to fully recover.
If it was not completely discharged, the recovery would be faster.
However, if you empty it to the bottom, it takes time for the flow of mana to reestablish itself in your body.
I didn’t go to exhaustion.
As much as possible, I use only the magic of others, and my own magic is the virtue of being intact. This is a trick that can only be learned through magic, so fairies cannot.
Nevertheless, it is impossible to create great magic as it is today.
As such, the magic class is not a very versatile battery. Modern artillery, which is free of ammunition, may be better if it only feeds ammunition.
However, in this era, the artillery has not yet developed thanks to the existence of magic. Some dwarfs make and use it as a hobby.
Priest-level leaf elves, who had enough power, wandered around the ruined forest, leaving a fire spirit to maintain the body temperature of the wounded.
The sun had risen quite high that day, but the weather was still cold.
said the hunter.
“The deadly dawn is over.”
“Is it morning?”
“I’ll have to eat. And I’ll go help the fairies.”
“Help? What?”
“The stump fairies will be living in that forest, so why not clear the forest?”
The hunter is surprisingly accurate in the way the fairies think.
They are not the ones who will live in man-made buildings.
Some of the leaf fairies are also pitching their own tents.
Move the injured inside first. It may not seem like much, but if you call a lazy salamander, it will be very warm.
“By the way, where should we get our rice? If we go to the lord, can we get a meal?”
“The lord has already escaped.”
“Escape? Why?”
“It seems they thought this castle would be captured.”
“I don’t think he was the one to run away from, but I thought he was going to come back with the reinforcements.”
A sneaky fairy wizard intervened.
“I know there is such a system. If there is good news there, the Lord will come running.”
“Then why did he leave?”
Before the brief battle, I only heard that he vaguely returned to his family. I thought it wouldn’t be normal if the person who threw it away did that.
“Sir Dusbourne Tigris, you’re the bastard of a prosperous duke.”
“Oh, you’re the heir, so you’re the noble one who came out of the sack?”
“That’s it. So I got stuck.”
“indeed.”
I thought he was a prince, but it doesn’t seem like that. But it is true that he is active in Night Crow with such an identity.
Manny is right.
Still, his humanity was wonderful. It must have been that the clothes of nobility did not fit the body.
Even when I think of the visuals again, my long, messy hair is shaking from one eye to my shoulder.
He’s a sword master who feels like he’s dead.
“Is the human faction politically unstable?”
“As always.”
“Anyway, it’s the same in every episode.”
“Humanity united. Isn’t this a true urban legend?”
Actually I’ve never seen it either. Unlike other races with strong racial colors, humans are very individualistic.
These are groups that are difficult to reconcile.
“The Lord must come with good news.”
“Still, I’m glad that there aren’t many countries.”
“There are three or four kingdoms in strife, and even in the midst of war, it’s not like seeing that it’s a foreign country, it’s just not connected with a human faction.”
“So did I.”
This time, they’re just enemies, but in fact, Greenskins are pretty good guys when you get to know them. It’s frustrating because it’s stupid, but because it’s stupid, it’s not that different from the outside.
Even the fairies are sullen, but the orcs and ogres, who only worship the power to the point of being innocent, are sometimes cute.
* * *
It’s a common perception that trolls and ogres are stupid, but not everyone.
Older creatures are mostly cunning and clever.
Of course, considering the average lifespan of trolls and ogres, the ratio is very low.
In any case, the battalion commander of the observed Lava Hammer Impact Squad was a very old troll.
Old trolls are usually cunning and clever, but they also have an evil temperament.
It seems that there is no one in the world who is stronger and stronger than you, so it is likely.
Taken from n̲o̲b̲l̲e̲m̲t̲l̲.̲c̲o̲m̲
Just because you’re old doesn’t mean your strength is less threatening.You can’t become a commander if you can’t subdue the young people by fighting in the first place.
If left as it is, he is a brave troll at a level that could later appear as a [hero unit].
It’s not just that the enemy is right now, it’s not a problem, but we also have to think about when we will meet again.
It is important not to leave grudges behind, but also to the inhabitants, not the exiles.
For exiles who do not know when they will meet their opponents again, there are cases where the potential enemy that was missed this time becomes a really powerful boss and waits.
If you do, it’s really painful.
The spirits with the power continued to observe.
The shamans must have known the spirits flying in the sky, but they left it alone.
Greenskins do not hide themselves. Greenskin is the one who overcomes the disadvantage in battle.
In the rounds where I rose to the position of commander-in-chief as an orc, I used goblins better.
Goblins worship the god of war, but they will do anything to win. The enemy is tired and the ally is reassuring.
At first, I tend to pursue a style that is far from being fair.
Let’s think again about what the future me might have arranged.
After thinking to the point of steaming my head, I decided on the immediate direction.
First of all, I was curious about how big the map would be, so I asked him to look at the map.
The maps of this era expressed disappointment because they were military secrets themselves, but knights with the second highest rank after the lord flocked to the civil servants and made an impression.
Sweetness of power.
There is a limit to listening only verbally.
In this episode, I saw the map properly for the first time.
The upper end of the map is known by going there.
This is the reason why I stayed for several days to search even though I had already been to the area once on the 6th floor.
As the name suggests, a wide map is a formula that is attached as long as it is roughly wide.
It appears because it is an important branching point of something like [Racial Main Stream], which is difficult to handle with a small map.
The size of the map is, of course, arbitrary. The northern end has already been confirmed.
I thought that the snowy theme would cover even areas that were not very cold.
“Greenskin Fortress is very close.”
It really was.
In the movie Going to Throw the Ring away, there was a cinematic permission in which the capital of the kingdom and the Demon King were very close, but strategically, it was almost at that level.
If you ride a horse and run non-stop, it will probably take less than three days.
A knight nodded.
I feel respect for me in my attitude.
“It’s the front line among the front lines.”
A knight who has reached a certain level becomes sensitive to magic.
Even if you don’t necessarily climb the Sword Master’s tree.
Even the Berserker, who seems completely unrelated to magic at first glance, doesn’t mean that he doesn’t use magic.
So, rather than soldiers, knights were astonished at the appearance and attack of the king of spirits, and they tend to treat them appropriately.
The civil servants seem to think of him as a strong exile.
“This is also the base of the Greenskins who have been visiting this area recently. In addition to the fortress, retired veterans and cubs live in villages around it.”
Of course, I am also polite. If Greenskin’s light tanks are troll cavalry, and their heavy tanks are those heavy ogre trolls over there, then human tanks are knights.
Since then, they have been really strong. Even for me now, three generations is the limit. I can’t stand it more than that.
It is a beautiful society where mutual strength creates respect.
“It’s been a while since we crossed the border like this.”
The knight answered in a voice full of pride.
“As for the knights, only those who are confident of being the strongest can be appointed.”
The front line of national defense or something like that.
“So, by the way, I have a plan. Could you call some other commanders?”
I don’t really have enough time. According to observation, the lava hammer battalion was also having lunch.
If Greenskins eat and are full, what will they do now?
it’s war
* * *
The conclusion I came to after looking at the map was that it was really dirty even for a wide map.
It seems that there are too many forces that have made contact now.
Even after the kingdom, our party seems to be constantly dropping wide maps or dropping at important points equivalent to it.
Specifically, how wide it is, and a residential area that can be called a greenskin city that appears after a while past the fortress is also included in the map.
Most of it is plain and it gets colder as you go down, but it is still northern.
A land on the outskirts of the orc empire.
The position of humans is probably comparable to that of a troublesome heterogeneous race in the north.
Even in the game setting, the size difference between the faction that appears as a kingdom and the faction that appears as an empire is striking.
“Then there must be a staircase over there.”
“Yeah. You’ll have to go to that city.”
The law of wide maps.
Stairs exist in the most similar and dangerous places.
I thought this day would come at the time when I was arguing with the god of war, but it was really fast.
Did I mention that the 11th floor is called the universe? That’s a big deal. How am I going to be passed on to the Greenskins who have advanced into space?
The hunter looks at me with a calm gaze.
“why?”
“If it were me, I would try to infiltrate, but if it were a leader, maybe.”
“No, I’m going to infiltrate too. How to push the city. I don’t even have command here.”
A startling response comes from the other side.
“no?”
“Isn’t it?”
The girl has her eyes wide open. Even the youngest blinks his eyes.
“Hey, I’m a human too.”
But sooner or later it will be.
You have to push all the green skins. The god of nature asked me for something absurd.
[The god of nature wants a fairy kingdom to be established again on this continent.]
I’m so glad I didn’t say it was an empire. It’s not that I didn’t want to ask why you wanted that from me, though.
The help I received was too great for that, and the help I will receive in the future is also great.
If you were going to push the greenskin anyway, it was something that could be done at the same time.
[The God of Nature smiles.]
What is the gender of this yangban? We know about our Goddess, but usually it is not so easy to know the Goddess.
He’s a god of war, everyone knows he’s a troll.
While chatting with the party members, all the commanders who were scattered and chasing the soldiers gathered.
As I enter the conference room, my eyes are focused.
Knights, soldiers, fairies, and fairy wizards and night crow crews.
It was nominally a meeting convened by a civil servant as the deputy lord of the lord, but everyone seemed to know.
If you can come up with a trick in this situation, it’s an exile.
“The gods of nature have also said that there will be war against the greenskins.”
The good-natured stump fairies smile. Great guys who even laugh at war.
The leaf fairies just scratch their heads a bit. Seeing his ears pricked up, he seemed excited.
How is everyone so militant? I love peace.
“It has been confirmed that the reinforcements led by the current lord are heading here through the communication of the realm wizards.”
A civil servant frowned at the fact that he had leaked a secret to an exile.
The commander of the wizarding corps of the territory smiled and whispered something in his ear, and his impression was widened.
“Assuming that it will be captured, please do not forcefully defend this place and delay the war as much as possible.”
“It’s a delayed battle. Isn’t it a water battle in the first place?”
One of the guards raised his hand and spoke.
He said that his face was familiar, so he was the deputy commander of the alumni. Was the thick garrison commander killed?
“The delay here is to think about abandoning the castle.”
Fantasy medieval walls are built much higher and thicker with the help of magic.
So, it’s hard to break through with a troll cavalry charge.
In the first place, most trolls and ogres are weapons, and what they use is wood from where they came from. It’s an effective blunt weapon for skin, but not for walls.
The Banmyeong Shock Battalion is a unit of heavily armed monsters. When everyone gathers and starts hammering walls and gates with hammers, it will eventually collapse.
Now that the Spirit King cannot be used, it is very difficult to defend this castle.
It’s not about being what I am. At first, I thought of giving up and running away.
The atmosphere becomes somber.
In fact, we have already seen the evacuation of citizens and peasants from the outside.
The mercenaries are also trembling with anxiety. Because they don’t have a special sense of mission or professionalism.
The same goes for ordinary soldiers.
There is no way to protect the castle right now. You have to give it first and then take it back.
Everyone must have known that, but they must have wished there was some other way.
If I was going to finish talking there, I didn’t call them together like this.
“If you take the time like that, our party will take the fortress. Please hold on for just one day.”
Everyone’s eyes widen.
After all, once you start gambling, you have to go to the end.
Believe in the future me and bet.
If you can get through this situation, there will be some support. And both Saints and Tedund are clearly somewhere on this map.
Were they both members of the Stormcry Brigade in the first place?
Oh I don’t know. Ask and go double!
