Never touch Eldmia Egga - Episode 315

Hearing the bad news, he hurriedly called Karl Gouls and Mr. Ciel and held a meeting at the Pantheon. I could see that the people around me were anxious about the sudden summons, but there was no other way..

The information Asilier brought was as concise as that of simple ignorant orcs. Additional troops from the Orcs. However, compared to the simplicity of the information, the situation was serious..

"During the last reconnaissance, I focused on checking the passage where the orc shamans entered, and suddenly dozens more orcs poured out from there.."

They looked at it as closely as they could because it was possible that they were hiding in the large pupil located inside, but it is said that the orcs that came out reacted in confusion and looked around as if they were in another world..

"It's hard to believe... but it would be reasonable to think of it as a gate.."

I should say that I was very fortunate that he was not an incompetent person who tried to escape from reality. Although Visquente was quite embarrassed by Asilier's story, he properly recognized the situation. Although it is very contradictory that considering the possibility of orcs using the gate is the most reasonable situation..

"There is absolutely no possibility that shamans created the gate, so I think it is reasonable to assume that they accidentally found the key to activate the ancient gate.."

"Honestly, I don't want to believe it, but... if I look away from here, my chances of dying will only increase.."

Even Karl Gulls silently agreed with my opinion, and Bisquente, who made his decision, acted quickly..

Those in the field can see with their own eyes and move on their own, but high-ranking people who receive reports have to read reports written based on reasonable reasoning to consider whether or not to move their heavy buttocks. Visquente, who believed that there would not even be a proper response if he sent out a message saying 'the number of orcs has increased', wrote a document and sent it to Pavalma as soon as he had developed a hypothesis that at least everyone in the room could agree on..

"The orcs didn't keep pouring in after that. Considering that the exhausted shamans came out late, it is clear that there are restrictions on activating the gate and moving personnel.."

"Still, the threat that time may not be on our side is looming.."

I don't know where it leads. Just looking at their eyes and looking at their panicked appearance, they could be the ones that flew in from the steppes, just as Visquente had guessed..

Crazy fucking prairie? Even if you ride a horse day and night from here, it would take several months, and it was creepy that there was a gate through that distance. The demons' gates are also impossible to move that much, so they create a midway point and operate it. How advanced was magic in ancient times, and why did it regress?.

Today, I focused on the meeting, pushing through the questions that were quickly rising. Maybe one day we will find out, but not today.

"I know that orcs always perform magic rituals before war. The fact that these guys, who not only could not properly adapt to an unfamiliar environment but were also poorly nourished, started calling in additional troops... at least it would be right to say that the ritual has already been completed.."

"That means it wouldn't be strange to go to war right away.."

"No, it's highly likely that he's already been deployed.."

Orcs are typical monsters that follow the instinct of strength and weakness. And from the moment they attempted to attack this village, this place was weaker than them. It was clear that the additional troops were a preliminary preparation for a larger war..

Since they have simple principles of action, it doesn't take much time to explain them to people..

"Asilier came in a hurry so we have some free time, but at least it's only half a day. There's nothing surprising even if the orcs attack tomorrow afternoon.."

"The construction of the fence was not even completed properly...."

Ciel muttered in despair, but since he wasn't assuming the worst, there was no way to comfort him..

The really worst thing is when they can't get over their temper and run at you like crazy. They may lose some strength, but they have little left after excluding physical strength and strength, so they are enough of a threat to adventurers below their level..

"It's just as Ciel said. It's obvious that only the village will be damaged at this rate, so we need to attack them before they reach the village. Otherwise you won't get the right results.."

"...Is it possible?"

The meaning of Bisquente's question was clear. Is it possible for this number of people to deal with over 200 orcs? It was a very reasonable question since there were more than three times as many enemies, but the opponent was a monster that was only slightly stronger..

"Hammer and anvil tactics. I don't think it's impossible if you put a little effort into it.."

"Are you saying we should divide our current troops? Dividing only 70 combat troops when the defense base has not even been completed is difficult...."

I raised my hand to cut off Bisquente's extremely realistic and valid rebuttal, and answered with confidence..

As I said, it was a crazy and nonsense plan, but there was no other way to survive safely right now. Ridiculously, this was the best way to reduce damage without giving up on the village..

As a result, Asili sighed deeply and the others couldn't believe their ears. They tried to reject my opinion, but I insisted that they should also listen to the opinion of the person who was the key to the plan, and Visquente reluctantly agreed and explained my crazy plan to the person who had been brought in..

The key person, who listened to the entire explanation in an extremely serious and calm manner, asked me for my opinion with his eyes shining..

"Can't I ruin it? It also ruins the weapon.."

Even the mercenary Karl Gulls shook his head at Catherine's expectant response, joking as if there was no threat..

"I can't play the role of an anvil properly.."

"Okay, I feel this every time, but the funny thing is that it always seems like Eldmia does everything.."

While Bisquente and Karl Gulls, who were quite surprised to see Katrina smiling with her arms crossed, dismissing my plan as something fun, could not even say a word, a dumbfounded Ciel stammered and asked back..

"Ash, did you say fun? This reckless plan?"

"huh? Aren’t you reckless? It's an orc. It's quite possible. Unless you die.."

Catherine's appearance, showing her teeth and showing off her confidence, was truly trustworthy..

Nevertheless, we managed to convince Visquente, who refused three more times, and turned the watch to all residents and construction workers and told the combat personnel to get as much rest as possible. Fortunately, there were no idiots who were happy to hear that, and the entire village was very nervous and faced an anxious night..

And the next day, a clear morning without a single cloud.

"Oh, it's an orc! an orc appeared!"

The village's alarm bells and shouts accompanied by shouts signaled the start of the operation..

"A day of idyllic slaughter begins.."

Asilier, who heard me muttering as I relaxed my body and raised my saddle, finished getting ready, got on the horse, and with a deep sigh made a request..

"Haha... you really have to be careful.?"

"Don't worry too much, sister. I am the one who slaughtered the knights at Envelde Mansion.."

Although it is difficult to use needles because the body is not in perfect condition, when it comes to simply using magical power, the efficiency is much higher than before. I don't know if the opponent was human, but as long as he was an Orc, I was confident that there would be no setbacks in this plan..

Of course, that setback only meant that I became incapable of fighting or died in the middle of the battle, and it did not mean a complete victory in this battle..

"Rather, I'm worried about my sister. You have to do the scouting role alone.."

"Are you going with Leica?."

[Leica! Protect Asili!]

That guy confidently wagging his tail next to the horse Asilier was riding was assigned as an auxiliary combat agent, so there was no change in the fact that she had to do the scouting alone, but just as I didn't want to worry her, Asilier had the same intention. Since it was just a word, I had to just accept it and move on..

She's putting up with it too, but there's no benefit if I say more. I smiled and patted Laika..

"Yes, you have to take good care of Asili.."

[huh!]

The plan to deal with the simple, ignorant orcs was simple. The village's combat troops, led by Catherine, become the anvil, and Laika and Asilier become scouts to determine the status of the enemy's troops at the halfway point..

And I become a fire puncher... no, a hammer..

"Then let’s go."

It was a plan based entirely on the simple ignorance of the Orcs. Whether they are orcs on the steppe or in a dungeon, their nature is the same..

This means that for a tribe large enough to maintain such a large number of troops, they naturally spent a long time fighting against the strong and obsessing over their own honor. Because their fighting instincts are structured that way..

Therefore, it is quite possible for someone with sufficient skills to single-handedly draw aggro from the rear of the Orc unit. It doesn't end there, and the effect is even better if a similarly skilled person holding a large and beautiful weapon that would be dazzling to Orcs is placed at the location of the anvil to attract aggro once more..

The absolute majority of the orcs will focus on the two people, creating a good structure for others to hit the orcs in the back..

"Eldmia! Shall we make a bet on how many orcs we can catch today?!"

Catherine, who naturally reveals her presence among the hurriedly moving crowd, shouted as she saw me running away on horseback. The adventurers who were running towards her showed signs of anxiety and looked fed up at her reaction, and I was able to realize once again the importance of a trustworthy companion..

"Return to the capital and pay for your meal!"

"ha ha ha! It'll be a good match!"

I lightly ignored the gazes that were busy looking at all the crazy people in the world. Anyway, once this battle is over, I'll either be trembling and not be able to make eye contact, or I'll be so drunk with victory that I'll go crazy..

"safety! It’s safe again, L.D.!"

"Sister too!"

I took a sharp detour from the direction the orcs were expected to be coming from and fell away from Asilier. It wasn't long before I was able to see the orc troops visible between the tree branches with my own eyes. They seemed to be much more numerous than I thought, perhaps because of the trees in the forest..

It was a strange feeling. Although the 200 or so muscular pigs are not easy to see, they do not feel particularly intimidating. In reality, if you go into battle, you have to abandon your horse, so I did that even though I knew I couldn't get out until I dug in among those pigs and killed them all..

As I rode my horse to aim for the last of the orcs, feeling uncertain whether it was my liver that had come out of my stomach or my leisure, I heard Catherine's cry from far away..

"Who is this! They're pigs who are so scared that they even curse at their ancestors who are already dead.!"

It was really an insignificant provocation, but the effect was amazing. As the forest seemed to be about to leave, angry orcs began making pig-snapping sounds in all directions. Fortunately, Catherine's voice was loud enough to be heard through the noise..

"You nameless pigs! I am Catherine the Battering Ram, the Gatebreaker! Cowards run away, only warriors attack.!"

A planned provocation, a planned signal. The pace of the Orcs, who had been moving with a certain level of composure, became almost as fast as running, and the end of the unit came into sight in my eyes..

"Kuiiii!!! profit? human?"

At the tail end of the unit, which had the lowest physical strength, an orc who was panting and making angry clucking noises noticed me and tilted his head..

This guy, I got cognitive dissonance because the direction the sound came from and the direction I was in were different..

"You bastard."

Just by driving the horse and swinging the sword, 1 orc stack was accumulated. Fortunately, even as he was dying, he didn't forget to shout the sound of "slaughtering a pig" and served as a great alarm to draw the attention of the other orcs while I pounded the horse's butt and made it run away from the battlefield..

"Squeak? This, human?"

"Kuik? why behind us?"

What should I shout to turn off the aggro?.

Unfortunately, it doesn't have anything like the monster Chojang, a notorious thing known to the Orcs, so there's nothing that comes to mind. Now that I think about it, the orc I killed last time shouted out its name. Still, they have some camaraderie, so wouldn't that attract aggro??

"I killed Kakula Vashem.."

There was some reaction to the bait I threw out just in case, but not as much as I expected. On the contrary, I was a little perplexed by the reaction of asking what to do..

"...It seems there is no warrior among the cowardly orcs who can avenge Vashem.."

"Kui Iik!! kill!!"

"Squeak! There are no cowards among orcs!! For Vashem!!"

"Bassaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!"

Damn, these idiots only show camaraderie when they feel bad..

Looking at these guys who were truly consistent, I swung my sword at the orcs who would soon become good..
