Episode 27: Truce
"I didn't know you could really drive the Imperial Army back!
The Alliance Master, who has stormed all the way to Flood Village, is slapping me on the shoulder laughing.
"I'm glad you're all okay."
"What are you talking about? We're just really here to storm (...)"
The forces on Krashel's side that stormed us with the intention of going to the dead to fight our enemies, but most of the Imperial Army fled back without actually fighting, so we didn't have a chance to pick up the enemy.
"Uh, I'm tempted to ask people like them to do this kind of work..."
"Exactly because we don't have enough people to do it at your party. We can't leave this place alone, and we're gonna help dispose of the body."
"Of course I'll pay you for that."
500 Alliance Masters brought you here.
Considering the rewards I've earned in this war, the rewards are acceptable.
The adventurer alone has a bit of a hard time handling more than 3,000 bodies, so I'll get personnel out of here as well. However, I am not a party member.
"Damn, why are we doing this?"
It is the slaves of former Imperial Army soldiers who are reluctantly handling the bodies.
I have them working fast because they were going to have the village of Flood rebuilt from the beginning. The bodies of the villagers in the village of Flood they killed were properly buried outside the village, so that the adventurers could make a request later and be properly buried.
The Alliance Master walks to the Adventurers to push the job.
"This is over,"
"Good luck."
Iris, Ira and Melissa, who finished the fight beside me, are approaching.
"The power of the Labyrinth Family (Dungeon Servant) is amazing."
"Did you feel it when you defeated the Imperial Soldier?"
"Yes."
Even though it was full of creativity to just deal with dozens of people in yesterday's battle, it didn't look like I was tired of Illis coming down on a larger number of enemies.
"The same is true of increased health and improved ability to continue fighting, but with light force you can also slash enemies from above your armor, and avoid enemy attacks without difficulty. And I've used magic so many times, there's no way I can run out of magic."
If Illis could fight all round just like me, he'd feel all kinds of favors.
He seems confused now compared to himself until yesterday, but he'll get used to it right away.
"Was there a problem?
"Yes. All Imperial troops coming this way have been defeated."
Most were the Imperial Army that fled back, but not all soldiers escaped. Inside, a soldier who found the body of an acquaintance abandoned in the village was about to storm into the Krashel army.
I had no problem leaving it to the Krashel army if it was just a small number of soldiers to storm, but I didn't want to reduce Krashel's power as much as I could, so I left it to focus on Iris and asked Ira and Melissa to get support.
Now Illis should have been able to protect his hometown, too.
"What do you say, satisfied?
"Yes, it's just that I didn't accomplish it on my own like Mr. Tiana did"
"The power gained from being a family member is yours. So merit is yours, too."
"Okay."
She had a look of regret that she wasn't convinced, but I want her to convince me that there were nearly a hundred opponents she fought in the main.
"Your husband."
Sylvia shows up beside me without a sound.
I was a little surprised because there was no sign until just before.
I'm supposed to call myself a maid of honor, so I don't need to acquire skills like an assassin, but when I realized it, I wore it at some point.
There are no ambushes nearby.
"They weren't going to do that because they were just going to rendezvous with the winning ally."
Seeing how the squad was didn't make it look like they were at war with outstretches or colluding with soldiers next door during the march.
We had the lead from start to finish.
"And you can really drive back tens of thousands of troops,"
"It would have been tougher to deal with a thousand demons."
Reminds me of the battle nearly a year ago.
Sometimes there was only one demon when he fought 1,000 demons in his home village of Dayton, and he didn't have enough experience to set a massive trap and sweep the demons away. Though it was necessary, it was hard to consume a lot of magic.
"Weren't you able to win that time because you were able to use the trap?
"I do, but we mustn't think together about when we fight humans and when we fight demons"
Demons are attacked by humans who are loyal to their instincts and in front of them. Even if there was a trap before that, I wouldn't avoid or disarm it. In the smallest trap, they are easily eaten and torn apart.
On the other hand, humans have the wisdom to avoid or disarm traps.
However, such wisdom is also useless unless it is in a normal mental state.
"The Imperial Army would have been in a state of panic at the stage where I first dropped nearly a thousand people into the pit. Besides, they were defeated shortly afterwards, so they only chose to" run away from me "over" defeat me "."
So I can't even notice if there's a trap in front of me.
It was a battle that was unilaterally dropped into the pit, but in order to generate the pit, it was necessary to stab the knife where it was intended. In order to prevent them from creating a pit, it was necessary to grab it and stab it on the tree shield instead of tapping down the knife needed to activate it.
But all I thought about was escaping from where I thought the knife would pierce me without realizing anything about that.
"Indeed, there were only a few opponents this time, but they were of such low quality that they conscripted from the people in the first place. If those guys panic and panic, they can easily be defeated. That's why I said before the war, 'It's no bigger than dealing with a thousand demons'"
"I see."
It took me a while because of the high number, but I haven't struggled at all because I've been strong since then.
"And you've thought of that a lot."
Ira's questions are good too.
If it's the first time I've been in a war, it's never happened anywhere near me.
I've never thought about how to win a war or anything.
"Oh, that's..."
- I taught you.
The labyrinth nucleus said where it was appropriately made fun of.
As for me, I wanted to keep it a secret because I seemed to cheat somehow, but the labyrinth nucleus that made the situation interesting couldn't have missed it.
'Cause war hasn't changed the way it's done for a long time. I taught you how when the old Labyrinth Lord joined the war.'
I simply got on with the proposed strategy for the labyrinth nucleus.
"If we keep going, we'll have an application for a truce from the Imperial Army within a few days. Then the Lord, the greatest meritor and master of many former imperial soldier slaves, will be in a troublesome position, so shall we finish cleaning up or something before then and return to Alistair? '
"Clean up, or..."
There are no elements against the words of the labyrinth nucleus.
I knew I wanted to get some rest at home.
Just the maintenance of the streets that we've vandalized before that. Then the treatment of the slaves in the distribution of the supplies obtained.
I have a lot to do.
"It's a hassle, but shall we go clean it up"
'... Yes'
I get a powerless reply from the four of us.
It would seem to take at least a few days to clean up.
Even though the war itself ended in about an hour, we need a few days to clean up later. It's not like we're going to have a war that takes more time to prepare and clean up.
