Blue skies, white clouds, reminding me of a morning of hope a few days ago, a great picnic day. The meadows where the white rabbit sleeps idyllically are still truly peaceful today. But now this is a battlefield for a bunch of monsters to push. To make that interception, we let sweat seep through our foreheads and hit the prep.
"Mr. Nell, I'm done cutting vegetables!
"This is ok too"
"Thank you. Keep it near the iron plate."
"" Ha!
"Captain Nell! I've been collecting these moonos, branches that are going to burn!
"Late! Daganov built the fire pit a while back! Look, hurry, hurry!
"Also, I'm sorry!
"Hey, Cannon. Pull harder that way. You don't stand a tent well."
………
Yes, the preparation of Nell's barbecue was steadily progressing. Hal and Chinatsu, who cut non-meat ingredients, old Daganov built an incendiary platform that would set the iron plate on fire, and Moono picked up the branch tree where you would fuel the fire, and me and Kanon assembled a tent that would serve as a rest stop. As Commander-in-Chief, it's Nell who helps each squad.
"Um, Mr. Derris. We're here on a monster crusade, aren't we?
"Hmm? Canon, what are you talking about now? You bet."
"No, I got a little anxious..."
"Hey, Cannon! My hands are stopped!
"... well, I don't even know what it's like to be confused, but now you should be committed to installing a tent"
I'm not doing this barbecue without a second thought. I do have free time to just wait, and I'm hungry... for a number of reasons. But that sincerity is aimed at attracting a bunch of monsters here! If there is smoke, we can see that there are people in the distance. If you smell the smell of roasting meat, the hungry beasts will come by. If the battlefield gets here without error, there will be no damage to the fort or the surrounding villages. The point is, when the opponent drops by on his own while filling our bellies, it's a good thing to do!
Nell had to take his hat off when he came up with this ingenious ploy in just a few moments. When I was an adventurer, I was a firepower full swing assault girl. Harness old knowledge and minimize damage. It's amazing.
"And then we need to secure the meat... maybe we should come soon."
Nell stares at the distance with the eyes of a lion hunting a raven. No, wait a minute.
"Nell, are you willing to procure food from the monsters that I know are coming?
"Oh, yeah?
"" What!?
Thousand Natsu and Kanon are surprised to see their voices together. I can't help it, it's for the Xuan.
"Dude, goblins and oak didn't stink and eat meat. You used to belly each other with that. Require a careful selection of ingredients"
"That's when you starved in the dungeon and had no choice... it's okay. Because they say a bore-based monster is confirmed in the Oak King population. It's like a pig, and it's fatty and delicious."
"No, Master... in that kind of talk..."
"Oh, my God. Say it quickly. Worried and lost."
"" Mr. Derris!?
Two people speak up again. It's okay, 'cause Boa says it's no different than regular pork. Because the past me and Nell proved themselves.
"Boa, pig...... I miss you. I used to eat when I was training in the mountains."
"Oh, Harna's a good mouth. Now, learn from Kanon."
"Oh, uh..."
"Well, more than that, Yona, you can't hunt pigs without qualifications."
"Your father and mother were with you, and you're gonna be fine."
"Captain Nell! This moono, it started a fire!
And it was getting busy, and old Daganov came hunting for the rabbit. I was reluctant to handle it downstairs, but I left it to Canon, and he said it was time for us to confirm the division of roles and move on to the last meeting. I spread the map to a simple table for dinner, and I look over everyone when Nell throws me and I become a facilitator.
"The role of this expedition, but proceed with what we talked about in the fort. First an army of oak kings coming from the south, it's Nell who intercepts this. Goblin kings looming from the opposite north are Hal and Chinatsu, and as their guardian, I'm on my way. Moono is on fire at this campsite, Kanon is the downhandler, and Captain Daganov is invited to turn ad hoc to the support of the two. Any questions?
"Um, down processing...?
Hands up that Cannon is not confident.
"I'll bring my prey while I deal with the southern monsters, so I'm in charge of that processing. Let Daganov teach you how to peel the skin, because I'll do the blood draining this way. We're going to have to do it on another expedition anyway, so just remember it right now. Let's start with the rabbit."
"but I'll do my best..."
Kanon and Muno, you have old Daganov on you, and well, you'll be fine. Even if you fail, the material can rot.
"Don't worry, Nell will be in charge of the south as well. Now, gentlemen in charge of the north of the problem."
"Ha!"
"Yes!
Hal and Chinatsu are finished dressing in combat clothes. Hal has the usual style of orange robes with black canes, Chinatsu with light armor that seems to move easily, and a bandage on his hips. Chinatsu's light armor is also ancient to Nel. I remember seeing it quite a while back.
"I'm here for a while, but first think of it as something that's not a force for war. There are only two of us on this battlefield, and two of us are going to defeat the monster. Knock that in your head. In case two people leak a monster, this campsite behind them is over. Aware that he carries the lives of the three remaining men in the camp, don't be cowardly, relentless, knock him down by the horns. You got that?
"" Okay!
Well, I'll help you to an unnoticed extent.
"Ha, Harna, Chinatsu, be careful......! (OUR) Life is on the line!
"Ooh, I didn't know boulders put the lives of their best friends (Canon), the warriors they send out first. Don't worry, Lord Harna. This moono, the fire is the survival of risking your life!
"This, neither Cannon nor Moono can be burned weirdly. Both of you, well, don't feel that way. I'll cover it whenever I can, even if it pulls out somewhat behind me."
In the Guard's liaison, Goblinking's army is a mixed unit of over 1,000 monsters. Unlike oaks, which include boreal systems, this one is a completely subracially centric configuration. They seem to have pretty good gear for goblins, even those who handle bows and arrows. I'm a monster opponent, but I wonder if it would also be a training assuming a little army.
And refrain after such a simulated war is the goblinking of calling himself the Demon King. If normal, it's a monster about level four, and even one Hull can deal with it enough, but now -
"Master, do I catch ingredients too? Goblins!"
"Ha, Yona!?
"You really do succeed..."
But that's NG because it really doesn't taste good. There's no reason to repel them while sourcing ingredients like Nell, and they'll be fine as long as there's not much left to do. Isn't that a flag? Instead, it's worth it for you to come.
