A Chronicle of Life in a Different World
Episode 440: Fighting the Vampire Species Part 3
After confirming Natalia's attackers from the front, Slaus stumbled between his eyebrows.
I sent residents to try, but I was not surprised that they were easily disabled.
As a result of a far-sighted sight of Natalia standing at the top, she couldn't help but frown.
"More and more strangers... who is she? It's not the same thing."
Slaus asks Eliza, looking out the window with a purely surprising look. The voice color seeped with vigilance, and his eyes turned sharp.
"... do you think I'll tell you that?
Upon hearing the sound of Slaus' voice, Eliza fished up in intimidation.
Not only the Reurus, but also the “um” Natalia. Eliza has not seen Natalia fight with all her might, but she knows her career.
Natalia is a wizard who once led an army in a great country called Mataroi. It is Rovarma, the capital of the King, and although in the form of a game, it is the same position as Bernard, who overwhelmed Reurus.
When compared to Bernard and Natalia, Eliza doesn't know which is stronger. But Natalia's strength won't be much worse.
If Natalia is joining us as reinforcements, it's more likely to defeat Slaus. Eliza decided that she shouldn't give the information to Slaus.
"Let's do this - 'Tell me what you know about her.'"
But I have to say that the opponent is bad. Eliza tried desperately to shut her mouth against the slaughter that was used to extract the information, even though she knew it was useless.
"Gu, uhh... that was Natha, Leah... the administrator of the abandoned city of Laval... the neighboring territory of this town... the Baron... originally served as captain in the national army of this country..."
Eliza resisted, but her mouth moved freely to reveal information about Natalia.
(Eh... I'm just pulling my legs...)
Resistance was difficult, but Eliza felt anger and remorse at herself, who easily divulged the information. However, Eliza's mood jumped from one eyebrow to the other as if she was impressed.
"Hmm... a general who led an army in this country?"
After hearing Eliza's words, Slaus nodded convincingly, confirming Natalia's face again in the distance.
"Well, there's no gap to see from a distance... then I'm convinced of that skill.” If you were a Gregorian, you'd be at the top of the bishops. "
Without fighting directly, Slaus sees through and praises Natalia's modest moves. But soon he leaned his neck strangely.
"I don't know where you are, but why are so many dwarves working with you?
Although I “knew” that there was a dwarf in the town of Speranza, the number was more than I could imagine. As far as Slaus knows, unless there are dozens of monsters called dwarfs gathered to live in a human town, it won't be possible.
"... well, isn't that a threat?"
Dwarfs are skilled at forging with dexterity, and there are things to watch out for when it comes to producing superior armor and magic tools, but they don't deserve vigilance from a slaw. Some monsters are classified as intermediate dwarfs, but their combat abilities are known to be high.
The magic that can be used is about the "strengthening" of auxiliary magic. The strength of the auxiliary magic is not diminished, but the method of fighting is only close combat. If you use magic from a slaw that can wipe out the surroundings, it is only a combat force that can deal with one-handedly even if attacked by a herd.
Speaking of which, it is right to use the dwarves as “transporters” to bring out the inhabitants of the town of Lemona, not as a combat force.
(Probably from a woman named Natalia....)
While observing Natalia in the distance, Slaus murmured inside. The decision to pull the inhabitants away from the town of Lemona, which is a magical source for Slaus, is accurate.
Even if you had a "contract," if you were too far away, your connection would be interrupted. If you are too far away, the magical connection is not absolute, as the magic of "ideological call" “breaks the line.
Although simple as a means, it should be difficult to implement due to the difference in material quantity. Still, it would be a cumbersome and accurate hand for Slaus if it were executed.
(As long as there is a man named Reurus, do you see a certain distance where the contract is valid? I see, this is a way to pull us out.)
Slaus is convinced that Reurus has a "contract" with Eliza and that the magic will be too far away.
The actions Natalia and the others are taking cannot be left unattended, nor can they continue to hit the volume like this. In the worst case scenario, Slaus realized that Natalia would kill all the inhabitants and destroy the magic source.
Even Rebecca and the Gregorians could do it if they wanted to, but Slaus, who had thought so much, remembered suspicion.
(... where is that dwarf's daughter?
It was a slaw that confirmed Natalia and the others, but found no sign of Meer in it. I checked again and found no sign of Meer among the Natalians.
But that suspicion will soon disappear. Not much has been done in the previous battle, and it cannot be a threat from Slause.
Slaus decided that it would have been among the dwarves carrying the inhabitants more than useless in battle.
Above all, there are people who should be more vigilant now. A magical user named Natalia is with Reurus, who was originally particularly vigilant.
With Natalia's help, how much more threat will the Reurus pose?
"'You keep an eye on Eliza so she doesn't get away from here. Fight to the death if the enemy comes."
---Don 't let the token be reduced like this.
Slaus, who decided so, gave instructions to the soldiers who had refrained from doing so, and they quickly started moving.
"Oh... you moved faster than I thought."
Natalia, who had “temporarily” disabled about a hundred residents of the town of Lemona, quickly realized that the huge magic she felt in the distance had begun to move.
I narrow my eyes as I look from afar, but I don't have any reluctance to stand up. Natalia holds a wand in her left hand and a smoke tube out of her pocket in her right hand. Then the smoke tube was rolled and turned with a familiar technique.
"Did you not simulate putting your strength into battle?"
Gilba says while keeping Natalia's manners at the edge of her vision. Natalia nodded at Zilba's words and caught the edge of her mouth and smiled little.
"It would have been easier if I had shredded the opponent's strength like this... well, within my expectations."
Behind Natalia's gaze was Slaus. Slaus goes up to the roof of the mansion where Hector, the lord of the town of Lemona, lives and looks down.
Natalia was observing how Slaus would move, but showing herself on purpose would mean joining the fight. And that means I decided that I couldn't win just by manipulating the inhabitants of the town of Lemona.
"That's the bloodsucker... that's a big difference compared to Eliza's daughter. One of the towns could easily be destroyed."
Just as Slaughter saw through Natalia, Natalia also saw through Slaughter.
I didn't actually shoot magic at each other, nor did I swap blades. However, I was able to discern the opponent's skill roughly from the perceived magic and slight behavior.
"... I see. If that's who you're dealing with, it wouldn't be strange if you couldn't get rid of Reurus. Isn't it strange whether Gilba or the bishop is with you or not...."
Natalia raised her eyebrows in suspicion as she murmured.
The strength of the slush is not good. I will now lay aside the monsters that will undoubtedly be classified as advanced - and the bloodsucking species that were once destroyed by the Gregorians - that have appeared in the town of Lemona.
Natalia's appearance was the first to question the strength of the slaw and why it appeared. The Lord of the town of Lemona, Hector, for some reason, leans his neck inside.
Have you 'changed' your mind in deciding that you need to deceive your surroundings in order to bring the town of Lemona under control? However, they are taking “missed” actions, and their identity is being discerned.
(Is there a reason why strength and behavior do not seem to be proportionate? There's still room for the “time limit” Reurus was talking about. That's right, this naivety is not so dumb as to deceive your surrounding eyes....)
Behind the strength you can feel from the slaw, you can glimpse the naive parts of your behavior. Natalia cared about that, but being strong was not tied to being good at politics or tricks.
Natalia has been scattered in King's Landing as a daughter of the Baron of Amendura and as a general of the army, but Slaus, a bloodsucking species, probably had no opportunity to gain such an experience. Perhaps as Slaus himself, the possibility that he could deceive the surroundings is not zero.
(In addition to the naivety of our actions, it seems that our accidental arrival in the neighboring territory caused the plan to fail...)
Natalia came to the conclusion about Slaus' behavior so far.
It may not have been noticed if people who would normally be exploring the territory had just come to the neighborhood, but it would have been normal to think that a heterogeneous group such as the Reurus would bring a group of dwarves into the exploration.
Natalia has no intention of clearing up Slaus in one word. However, from Natalia, who has the experience of running through the battlefield as an army general, the element of luck cannot be ignored.
(Besides, the opponent is on schedule... so how do we deal with the rest?)
I was able to pull out the ”as planned” slug. The rescue of Eliza is still unfulfilled, but Natalia thinks it's Reurus's job.
Visible mouse and gaze intersect. Natalia feels her eyes are on guard, even though it's supposed to be separated.
That's why Natalia opens her mouth to declare war.
Well, let's fight it, bloodsucker. Don't play games, do your best. "
That said, Natalia turned the smoke tube around provocatively.
