It was a magic tool that should have been in the possession of the one on guard.
It was supposed to signal the approach of the enemy. ……!
“All troops! Prepare for battle!”
I shouted to the adventurers as I flew low to the ground.
Meanwhile, the sound of the magic tools seemed to be increasing in number, so that no matter where they were, everyone could see the enemy’s position.
While flying at low altitude, I saw where the enemy must have been coming at us …….
They were definitely there.
As reported, they are all monsters that should be underground or in dungeons.
At a glance, the threat level is not that high.
They are monsters that can be dealt with by the adventurers here.
There is no problem there.
However, the number of monsters is still high, according to the report …….
“Isn’t the number larger than …… reported?”
That’s a swarm, a horde, even these word is too lukewarm to describe this situation.
It’s like a tsunami.
A tsunami of monsters
That’s the most appropriate way to describe it.
What a number.
I heard reports of about 10,000 ……, but this is not 10,000!
How many of them are there ……?
There could be as many as 50,000 or more.
“O-oi ……, what the hell is that ……?”
“I-I don’t know. ……. They are monsters, aren’t they?”
“There’s too many of them! What are we going to do about this?”
The moment they see this, their morale drops. ……
It can’t be helped, I didn’t really want to use it, but it was inevitable.
But first, I had to observe.
Thankfully, the enemy was moving slowly.
After all, they are monsters that are supposed to be in caves.
Their mobility seems to be slower on the ground.
If this is the case, we should be able to escape even with a horse-drawn carriage.
These monsters came with some various sizes, including large, medium, and small.
The most numerous are medium-sized ones.
The small ones are in the lead.
This time, it is our role to exterminate them.
We have to retreat as soon as we’ve taken care of those. ……
Even I, as a marvelous person, would not stand a chance but swallowed by these numbers
It would be wiser to annihilate everything on defense.
The vanguard is not going to be useful. ……
We’ll end up being pushed out by sheer numbers.
“Notify all forces! Vanguard units prepare to return! Mages, prepare to attack! Supply teams, pour the oil you brought onto the mounds! Quickly, hurry up, we’re running out of time! We’ll buy you some time, just hurry!”
“I-I understand!”
“After I attack, the mages will begin their attack! Fire powerful magic until you run out of magic! As soon as the shooting is finished, retreat with the supply team! The vanguard unit should be able to proceed smoothly.”
After shouting, I flew high into the sky.
The only thing that could be seen was a black mass.
The forest is already in shambles as the large monsters are walking through the trees, ripping down trees as they go.
Despite their haste, the adventurers manage to communicate the information and get to work.
Morale had dropped dramatically, but hearing the word [retreat] boosted it up again.
The adventurers were very grateful for the presence of someone who could give them precise instructions.
“In the meantime, I’ll buy you as much time as I can. ……!”
This is the second time I’ve used this!
“Here I go, ……. Myth skill, 【 Bud of Crimson Lotus】 .”
