Dungeon Master Makeup Money (formerly known as Dungeon Master Funding)

It suddenly appeared.

"... yeah?"

During the banquet, Gelato instructed the soldiers to be more vigilant when he knew of the commotion outside.Vigilance by mobilizing all those who are not drunk.Those who have drunk alcohol also intend to wake up the next morning.

They were enemies with petrifying abilities that I thought I had defeated, but some had similar abilities.

There was some anomaly in the village, and the Mars were on their way.Knights who could not grasp the current situation could only be wary.

The knight-ordered soldiers stood drowsy in front of the wooden fence that surrounded the place where they were stationed.

The sound of "cheating" and crawling from the depths of darkness.

……

Nervousness runs through the soldiers.

Everyone knew what kind of monster the monster with the ability to petrify was in the forest.I was also informed of the reason for the sudden deployment.

Snake Monster.

Even though I could not see her due to the dark night, the sound signaled the snake's approach.

When I stared at it, it lit up in the dark.

"... Vigilance!"

The captain shouted, and his men put their strength into the hand holding the weapon.

I was able to run if there were more signals.I also knew what the opponent was capable of.I was petrified immediately after my eyes flew.

But this power has its weaknesses.Only one person can be attacked at a time because the means of attack is the gaze emitted from the eye in the head.However, just by looking at it, it wasn't an attack, so it was necessary to aim firmly with both eyes.

One of our people could be sacrificed.

But if you can defeat your enemies while your allies are petrified, you can free them.

".... All right."

The soldiers could see the gray snake in their eyes.

Multiple people ran in different directions, trying to take them out.

"Eh......"

I noticed it by moving forward.

It wasn't just a pair of eyes floating in the dark.



"What's going on!?"

The report that came to Gelato was unbelievable.

"... once again, petrification is spreading from the south, engaging the enemy in a long-range attack."

"I know that."

A young soldier guarded on the south side when Mars left.

His role is to preach. It was run to the headquarters in the center because of being young.

Well then, I will return to my place.

If you've finished debriefing, return to your positions.

It was only natural as a soldier.

Wait!

However, as for Gelat, it was an unacceptable move.

"W-what is it...?"

"Where I went, it was pointless."

"Eh......"

I'll report it!

Another soldier enters the tent.

Petrification is starting from the north too!

New soldiers reported being attacked not only from the south, but also from the north.

Gelat holds his head.

Petrochemical erosion had already been carried out from the east.

Petrification from the east, south and north.

“What do you want to do?”

Carlyle, who was beside Gelato like a first officer, asked.

"There's nothing I can do."

“How about fleeing the West?”

"I don't think it's going to work that well."

The opposite of the forest where the great serpent was on the west side.Even if a gray snake came out of the forest, it was a long way to go.

For this reason, there was no encirclement by gray snakes.

"It's opened up as if it's a made escape route. The opponent has the intelligence to attack from three directions simultaneously. Isn't it natural to drill a siege in one direction?"

Carlisle underestimated the fact that the opponent was a monster.

However, Gelato was searching for a way to survive the siege by eliminating the premise that he was a "monster".

We need to get out of the siege somehow.

Under the circumstances, I needed to be prepared to break through the dangers, but I quickly gave up.

"The person surrounded was like a person who would be petrified just by being seen."Do you think you can escape from such an opponent? "

"That's..."

Carraris said.

Several soldiers escaped after seeing their people petrified.However, it has been told by the Sentinel that he was unable to escape and was petrified.

It is impossible to escape when under siege.

We had to get rid of them somehow.

I don't think I can deal with monsters outside the standard either.

So, what do we do?

"A monster outside the standards is a monster outside the standards."

……

Carlisle realized that she was looking for her brother to help her.

Aren't you back yet?

"It's only been ten minutes since I left here."

……

I want you to come back soon.Originally, I would like to send someone to deliver relief, but in situations where it is difficult to get out of here, it is difficult to send a message.

"It's unavoidable."

The way Gelato came up with it was not a compliment given ownership.

But it's an emergency, so I make a hard decision.

Prepare the artillery.

When I went outside the tent, it was ready to fight the gray snake.

The ordered soldier turns the flaming arrow into a bow and points it outward, probably with a gray snake.

No.

Gelato's aim was not a gray snake.

"Whatever. Light a cottage nearby."

"Well, but..."

“If you want them to stay here and stay away from you, you need to burn them flamboyantly and let them know it's an anomaly.”

The ordered soldier fires the artillery into the cottage in a stray.

Wooden buildings with lit arrows gradually spread fire, and eventually it became a big fire.

All right.

Gelat clenched his fist as he watched the fire brighten up.

"What...!!"

But the next moment, my smile froze.

Faster than the cottage was set ablaze, petrification spread and everything, including the fire, became stone.

The fire went out and darkened again.

"Ugh..."

Gelato jumped to the side.

"Eh......"

Shortly thereafter, the archer next to him becomes a stone statue.

I hid behind a petrified building and looked around.In another place, Carlisle hid herself as well.

What's the situation!?

“No, petrochemicals are spreading.”

Even though it was close to the center, petrochemicals had already spread.

While hiding, the gray snakes approached to see if they knew exactly where Gelato, Carraris, and those hiding behind the building were.

The unbearable gray snake flickered its eyes and petrified.

"You son of a bitch!!"

One of the knights with the spear jumped from the petrified cottage and skewered the gray snake that was crawling towards Carraris.

A grey snake with a spear piercing its head was desperate.

"Heh, what kind of thing..."

I couldn't put words before that.

At the same time, my eyes shone from multiple gray snakes, and my whole body turned to stone in an instant.

"Shit..."

The gray snake is playing.

If you feel like it, you can destroy it at the time of the siege, but you don't have to attack it all at once.

"Carlisle, your brother was avoiding these people after seeing their eyes."

"Don't be ridiculous.My brothers are the only ones who can do that. ”

"... which one do you prefer?"

Only Gelato and Carraris remained among the Knights.

Soldiers have survived, but the Knight needs to do it in order to test the methods they've come up with.

And I'm willing to take the risk as a soldier's leader.

"... I'll go to the warehouse myself"

Well, I'll take this as a gift.

Are you okay?

"Don't worry." It's not that easy to get hit. "

While saying that, she showed the necklace she had been holding back.

A magical tool that prevents the petrification provided by the Allister family in case something happens.I don't know how effective it is against the power of the gray snake, but there's no countermeasure.

"... please."

In a few words, Carraris ran.

Of course, the gray snake would not let him escape.

Let me do it!

Gelat, with his shield set up to hide the running caralis, was blocked.

Petrification is spreading with eyes all over the shields and armor.But Zelat throws away his shield, and by removing his armor, he prevents his body from becoming a stone.

The necklace made it in time for my body to petrify.

Next, remove the large wooden box from the storage ring and place it on the wall.

The soldiers who were nearby also saw what Gelat was trying to do and placed obstacles on the path.

I'll help you!

It's dangerous.

"I understand." In the end, this body..... "

The petrified soldier turned to stone.

Gelat is safe thanks to the soldiers hiding while they are sacrificed, but the soldiers who place obstacles blocking their path continue to petrify.

Apparently, you're not intelligent yourself.

The escaped Carraris caught my attention.

However, the obstacles that had been petrified were getting in the way and I couldn't go straight after them.

But I have the intelligence to surround myself.

There's a commander somewhere.

At that time, a huge pillar of fire rises in the place where it was stored.
