Crest Forest/East Edge
At midnight, the Crest Forest remained quiet. Most monsters that originally lived in the forest were diurnal, and there were only a few who were active at such a time.
However, there were monsters that were not from this forest. In spite of their huge bodies comparable to the height of the trees and a commanded movement that would not be seen in the wild; it was, rightly, an army of monsters.
“Vice commander, the preparations are complete!”
A young man who seems to be a subordinate saluted a mature man sitting on a fallen tree. Whips were attached to their waists. It is also used for attacks, but its main purpose is to keep discipline. It is a weapon that trainers prefer to handle.
“It was faster than I expected.”
“Of course. Today is the fourth invasion, and I think we can finally wipe out the aliens Even if it were to attract Gown, everyone is tired of abducting them. Is that right Vice-commander?”
The grinning youngster laughs as he distorts his mouth.
Trisen advocates for human supremacy. The people have been educated so since childhood and treated slaves and demi-humans like insects. This young man applies without exception, and he volunteered for the “Hybrid Demon Beast Corps”, which uses monsters and demi-humans. It is a promising stock that was promoted to captain at a young age.
“Well, but I could laugh about the non-resisting elves. They really think they wouldn’t be killed if they didn’t resist.”
“No, I’m told that they are going to be used as human experiment or a tool for the release of the soldiers… Ah, I hate to deal with Demi-humans, don’t I?”
“Are you an aristocrat? Don’t say that. try it. it’s pretty good?”
“Please refrain. It would be more interesting to put them in the same bed as the demi humans I use.”
“You really have a good taste…”
The moon hiding in the clouds showed up. The area was dimly illuminated by the moonlight, and the forces gathered in the Crest forest appeared. The number was well over 1000, and all of them were B-class or higher monsters. Not only the giants mentioned in the Elder’s tale but monsters of all races.
There are less than 500 humans in the mixed demon corps, the smallest in Trisen’s army. However, all 500 of them were professional trainers and used the subordinate monsters. The trainers had no affection for monsters or slaves, and because they are treated as mere weapons, they play their role at the forefront as the most effective force. With the advance of monsters who are willing to sacrifice, the opponents had fallen into fear at the time of the war.
Half of the Hybrid demon corps were gathered in that place, and the vice commander was in the lead to prepare for the next battle.
“I gave enough information to Gown and I beat the forces they have send. This operation devised by General Tristan, Gown’s army has finally arrived for the third time, but after all it is the last unit. Probably it will be the real deal. Well, if they’re not there, you’ll just get the elves in peace.”
“With this strength, you can win even when the Beast King and his sons come. That is what the vice commander does.”
“………”
A giant kneeled behind the old man. The thick neck had a collar with ancient letters on it.
“Where did the General get this collar? Thanks to it, it is easier to capture monsters.”
“It’s a rumor, but it seems that it was bought from a merchant who recently entered and left the castle. I don’t know when or when, but it’s a magic item because the monsters grew-up just by wearing it. It’s a great magic item. This collar is also effective for the S class monsters.”
“There is a total of 3 special items. One of them have been given to Prince Asgrad, but…”
“It’s a waste of money. How much can one strengthen the troops? Well, it’s a general. I think I have some idea. I sold the prince a favor.”
“A favor?”
“For example… Well, it’s about time. You lead the 4th unit and lead in front. Let’s have the battalion commander Dill lead the 5th unit as a follow up.”
“Where will be the vice commander?”
“I will judge the situation… Well, let’s start trampling.”
The vice commander swings his raised arm toward the village. The monster army began to act, while the earth trembled.
Crest forest
The fourth unit is on its way to the middle of the forest. He’s constantly scouting with flying monsters, but so far there’s no sign of an army from Gowns.
“Captain, it looks like the gowns aren’t stupid. If they feared us, did they run away?”
“Oh, it’s such a loud march. We can’t go unnoticed… I mean vulgar guys, let’s keep an eye on an ambush!”
The laughter of the soldiers explodes in the last row of the unit. I wonder if the trainers, do not feel nervous because they are in the so-called safety zone behind the team. Or maybe the tough monsters are advancing while fortifying the front line…
Even if it seems like it, there is no absolute safety on the battlefield, but they continue marching without worrying. Without knowing that they stepped over the boundaries of the kill zone ―――
“Gua!?”
Suddenly, a soldier riding a monster in front of the battalion fell on his back.
“What happened!?”
“I don’t know! Suddenly he fell down…”
The soldiers around run to wake up the fallen man…
“Hey… huh!”
There was a small hole between the man’s eyebrows. There is a clear hole just like something was stabbed just before. The bright red blood was flowing from there. Even to the untrained eye, he was dead.
“Is this the mark of an arrow?”
“Idiot, I didn’t hear anything like the wind slashing of the bow! Above all, there is still no response from the monsters in the scout! The Elven village is still a long way away!”
“But this guy is–“
“Gya!”
The last breath was heard from a unit a little away. Apparently, the next victim was killed.
“Enemy attack! Enemy attack!”
“Defend yourself with the monsters as walls! The attacking enemy is invisible!”
The air just changed, and the troops fell into confusion. Soldiers hide using monsters or trees as shields, but if they tried to show their heads, they would be immediately shot dead.
“We haven’t been attacked like this before…! Do you say that we will proceed to the elven village like this? It’s stupid!”
Even though he stepped forward, unidentified attacks poured without rest. The face of the young battalion captain turned blue as I looked.
Elf Village, Bow Tower
“Efil, next is the guy behind the troll.”
“Understood.”
“The man who seems to be high in that rank is back. I’ll catch him and make him spit.”
A few minutes after Trisen’s troops came within Efil’s range, I started intercepting the invaders while borrowing Efil’s “Clairvoyance.”
Apparently, all human soldiers are trainers. As a tactic, the force pushing the monster to the front may be the theory. If so, if the trainer in the back is defeated first, the unit will naturally collapse. This is because the control of the monster under the defeated trainer is released. If the soldiers of Trisen were treating their monsters with dearness, they had to take a different strategy, but well, they aren’t the only ones.
“The condition of the bow doesn’t seem to be a problem.”
“Yes. It seems that it will reach as long as you pour magical power it. It also does not make any bow sound.”
The new bow I gave Efil is for stealth. In “Merciless Hidden Bow”, an arrow is created by staking magical power, and the flight distance increases in proportion to how much magical power you use. What is most characteristic is that there is no sound of bowing or shooting, and the arrow thrown has a concealing effect. The effect continues until the arrow hits, and as soon as it hits, the arrow disappears. It’s a scary bow that leaves no proof.
“I checked for intruders. We will update each person’s information to the network from time to time.”
Thanks to the map of the forest that I got from the elder, I already know the surrounding land information. All I must do is write down the enemy’s position. If there is “parallel thinking”, it is possible to update in real-time while issuing instructions.
[Umu. Everyone, Ic will do my best for the Liege to the extent I can.]
[It’s okay! Gerard, you have no chance here, so sleep and wait!]
[Sara, don’t kill them all, okay?]
[Yes, Yes. As Mel says, don’t you have to catch the leader?]
[If possible. The goal is to protect the village. It’s also prohibited to do things that would damage the forest too much.]
It seems that Sera and the others have begun to scatter in the forest. Good.
[Well then, let’s start trampling.]
