I’m a NEET but When I Went to Hello Work I Got Taken to Another World (LN)
213 Tales Hiragis Northern Battle - Fight Back
"Apparently there are no enemy attacks yet..."
Satti snorted at my words, too. The Eastern Fort is in a state of calm, which was immediately discovered by post-metastatic detection. There is no major movement in the fort.
"Then why don't you come back soon?
That's what Lilia has heard. In the town behind the Duchy, in Sias, the end of the war will soon be opened. But...
It is a fortress that will prepare you for the magic. You'll be ready for the raid, and your normal preaching will arrive late, but is that enough to fulfill it?
Today would be tomorrow if we were to make a timed offense. After that, the effect of simultaneous attacks becomes diminished. Because in two days there will never be a trend of fighting in the North.
How long has it been since a transmission came from near the capital? Three, four hours if Harpy can fly? If that's the case, it's long enough that it's not weird when the attack starts anymore.
He's the one who can put all that energy into it. I don't think I have the strength to break the Eastern Fort. Rather, it could even be that the north is positive and this one is destiny. The more I thought about it, the quieter it seemed now just before the storm.
"Let's warn and scout."
I answered that with a few thoughts and headed to the rooftop of the accommodation at the transfer base as I told him what I had in mind.
Exactly. It's suspicious to get out of a dormitory that's supposed to be deserted, but I don't even have time to fake it. He immediately jumped out of the roof into the sky and headed straight for the walls. Well, if it wasn't for surveillance, it shouldn't be.
"It is a decree. Who's the commander here?
He seemed surprised at us all of a sudden coming down from the sky, but soon one of the soldiers named him after Lilia's words.
"You think this is gonna be a battlefield, too?
That's what soldiers have asked me with a tough face when I tell them that the Great Offensive of Demons has begun after roughly dropping the situation in the North, the Duchy Capital.
"The Northern Front is an unforeseeable circumstance, but it will take time to get here, and we do not know at the moment whether it will come true. More problematic than that..."
Soldiers also nodded at Lilia's gaze toward the demonic side.
"Let's be more vigilant than ever"
"That may not be enough. General Erdo told me not to increase my strength immediately."
Of course General Erdo didn't say that, and I haven't even seen him since it happened in the first place. I'm sure you thought you needed Lilia, and the general would forgive you that it's an emergency.
"But epidemics are raging in the South. How much power can you muster in this situation where you can barely get in touch with other towns..."
It didn't seem like the plague had converged yet. Again, normal preaching takes time. You were right to go out in person and warn me.
"Then the Virgin has gone out and suppressed herself."
But that's not complete either. It is highly likely that it will become endemic again from the withdrawal of treatment.
"You no longer have to worry about the plague. Arrange for medical treatment to be available in case anyone falls ill here. If it's cured by the time the disease progresses, it won't be the same as the cold you get in winter."
Mouth like that out of the back. The descent of the cold is Ann's word. If the medical condition progresses, the damage will be considerable, but if it is treated early, it will be of such magnitude. Well, in fact, the town with the most widespread infection was the snort shout. It's no longer a matter of time until total annihilation and the infected had a desperate look on their face, but if treatment is confirmed even if the patient comes out here, it won't lead to a major upset.
"We're going to scout the perimeter."
That's all I said, I signaled Lilia to fly, and the soldiers rushed to start skipping the preaching. The necessary warnings would have been given.
From the fort to the demonic realm, it is a mountainous area. It is easy to protect on narrow roads, but the outlook is poor. If you can't see the demon army by flying to the realm gently, fine. You don't have to worry if you see some demons. The Eastern Fort is tough. We need quite a large unit to drop the Eastern Fort...
"Ooh. Ooh, ooh, ooh."
Flying for a few minutes. There he is. I was so fucked. With two earthly dragons at the head, the rear guard has all the demons he can see. Definitely a full-scale offense. Is it like an hour before you reach the fort? Go back and issue a warning and report to Ellie...
What do we do? I don't care what you think. I don't have enough hands. Seriously, what am I supposed to do?
"You're not gonna do it?
"Right."
Thinking about it first is behind you. I discovered a bunch of demons. Hit the lead. It also buys me time.
Looks like they found him.
On the way to a point that seems easy to attack, Satti reports back to me.
"I'll do it!
Harpy again? Those are the grumpy ones. Satti happens to shoot off the approaching harpy at the spot where he stepped down. Lilia started chanting and said in a bouncing voice.
"You're unhappy that we were here!
This is a dressed location to intercept. The demons are the only terrain that can come straight this way, and the more well they fit into the range magic breadth. The full extent of the demon army is unknown, but it seems to be possible until it is completely destroyed here.
Lilia's blow destroyed the demonic avant-garde, including the ground dragon, beautifully. Forward immediately. You can leave the others alone, but the two dragons are delicious prey. Recovery. Lilia's chant again wipes out the aftermath. Again, a third range attack was just about to turn backwards and surround us.
"We're retreating."
Some of the reason I left the extermination to Lilia alone, but it still pushes me in faster when it's a small number. If you have a fight, you should have brought your master. It still seems possible to continue the fight if you want to, Lilia seems unhappy, but you have to worry about the other fronts as well. Ellie would be totally into the fight by now. I said I'd be back soon, but I might be worried.
"There's still a bunch of demons headed this way. That's a real offense, too. Prepare for emergency response."
When he returned to the fort and issued a new warning, the soldier's complexion changed slightly.
"I've crushed the avant-garde, so I can earn some time, but it won't take as long as half an hour. We..."
Lilia sees me in the way she does.
"That's how it falls here. We're headed north for rescue, but I'll see if I can get some men over here. You must gather as many troops as you can."
That's all I said, I instructed Lilia to fly outside the fort to find the right transfer point. The Eastern Fort has some time to spare, and is more conducive to defense than the town in the first place. Do you want to place one of us as part of the Orange Squad? You'll need to talk to Ellie.
"We're gonna have to do it all."
Reporting the raid on the Eastern Fort, Ellie said calmly during the explosion and the flying battlefield of anger. The town behind the capital of Rigoberd's army headquarters (Sias) was surrounded entirely by demons, and the Orange Squad and Erie had already scattered all over the town and hit the defense.
"But when it's all there, how do we fight? Here and Erdo Army, Eastern Fort......"
In order to consult confidentially, the scene is left to the Orange Squad and General Rigoberd's troops to gather at the corner of the town inside the walls and count fingerprints to sort out the situation.
Barbarossa's army.
I thought Lilia hated General Barbarossa, but that's surprising.
"Not at this time. You'll be thankful again."
Oh, that sounds disgusting. Well, either way, I got to know the Barbarossa Army. If you need help, it doesn't matter what General Barbarossa thinks.
There are seven Majes who will be in need of battle power. Me, Ellie, Anne, Tirica, Lilia, Luciana, Charlencia. One or two people at a time won't be able to place them all. Plus, the Orange Squad can be increased, and we can expect a lot from it as a combat force.
"You can stay with General Barbarossa later. Three places for the time being."
Nodding at Ellie's words. There's a distance over there, so you can probably leave it until tomorrow morning. I have the power of war, and I gave the order. It would be hard to be attacked with the same amount of force here as Sias, but it's pretty far away. How much power the demons send in. It's unknown whether we'll even reach the Barbarossa army in the first place, and we have a brilliant army of wizards. The formula for jumping demonic attacks without our support is high.
"This is me and Anne, Charlencia. And Syrah and Will. The rest go to General Erdo."
Ellie gives instructions without even thinking about it. The rest is me and Tirica, Lilia, Luciana, Satti, Miriam, and the Master. Charlencia would be better off with Ellie for the fry in case of an emergency.
"What are we going to do with the Eastern Fort?
"Massal will follow you on the metastasis. And I can just get the Orange Squad out."
With General Erdo's support at heart, can we manage if the Eastern Fort helps to an extent that it won't fall?
"The Orange Team has 100 additional support teams to the 100 who are here now. Then 200 more are organized in reserve. If this isn't all we need right away, we can get more out."
"Then we'll send 300 men, a hundred each."
"At the gate..."
If it's just us, moving the Orange Squad on such a scale just makes it harder to hide the metamagic through. It is suddenly triple where only 100 people have basically moved in the first place.
"Not if you're already saying that, are you?
"Right."
What should be given priority in the present situation is obvious. The damage will be enormous if we reluctantly destroy it in one place or another.
"Fine. No spare time."
Traveling with metastases is also our greatest strength. Immediately issue a decree from the Orange Squad to gather the rest of us who were scattered all over town to explain the new situation and the operation. As far as support for the Barbarossa army is concerned, it was to be dealt with on an ad hoc basis depending on the war situation here.
"Start moving immediately. We need to hurry. It's about time the Erdoz hit the demons. What's the matter, Massal?
Ellie asked me not to move. We can't waste our time, but now is the only time we have everyone together.
"We've got a tough situation..."
What shall I say? Run as soon as it sucks? Not now.
"Whatever you do, you're going home safe. Without missing anyone. All right?"
There is no coward, no one here who is not prepared.
"Absolutely."
"You will be well protected by our Orange Squad with this body."
When Ellie nods naturally, one of the Orange squads says forcefully.
"So is the Orange Squad. I won't allow anyone to lack it."
The death of the elf in the elf is hard to forget and engraved in memory. If you don't fall into battle, there will be 500 years of living elves scattered. Even I was sad. How was the grief of my companions and family? Even though the Orange Squad will combine our escorts, I have trouble getting them to try to make a mild sacrifice.
"Lord Elf's Guardian is right. This level of battle is only the beginning. I still need you to work. [M] Words of the Guardian, tell them all."
"Ha!"
I'm done saying what I want to say.
"I'm sorry I took the time. Then expect everyone to fight!
We placed Tirica's subpoena for our usual contact, blowing up the demonic siege and immediately flying to the Erdo army formation.
The timing of arrival was slightly different. The demon front is about to reach the town.
"Oh, that's a really good time!
That's what General Erdo, who was at the head of the castle wall, said and welcomed me. He was right to put the Orange Squad's summons behind him, saying there would be a risk to get out of the enemy formation. Considering the formation and movement of a hundred people, it would have been after the town of Palmas was completely besieged.
"I'm a little late. Trouble."
I'll leave the demon interception to Lilia and I'll speak to General Erdo.
"The great offense of this demon to the spread of the plague. Is there anything more we can do?
"Looks like the Eastern Fort is under attack too"
"Mm..."
That's right. General Erdo doesn't seem to have a word either. Even if the North could not stand it, if the Eastern Fort fell, all of Hilagis would once again be turned into a battlefield.
"So we're going to turn some of them from us to the Eastern Fort, so I want them to endure as much as possible here at the general's gesture"
"That much of a situation?
"So much for the situation."
I'm sorry, but the Erdos have to fight for their lives. It is possible and ideal when it comes to destroying all the enemies that come by us. But it takes a lot of magic to do it, and most importantly, it's inefficient.
Previously it had been exterminated with the utmost magic in order to reduce the damage to the army, but still it was impossible to prevent the dead from coming out when fighting broke out.
Orcs are stronger than average soldiers when they're one-on-one. That's due to a simple difference in stature and strength, and if you hit it decently, even if it's a fully equipped unit under prevailing circumstances, the death from the blow of an oak will occur like a day in a row. If you get hit properly with an oak power with an axe or a stick, it's like a thin veneer plate, like a shield or metal armor.
You'll have to be prepared for a considerable amount of damage today.
"Eastern fort here and in the Rigoberd army. Barbarossa army in addition to that. We'll handle the whole area."
That explains briefly the amount of demonic armies and movements we have seen so far.
"Then this is good, but the rear is a little dangerous."
In the rear there are a number of repressed towns and villages. Orders were issued to consolidate the guard where the troops were stationed...
As soon as General Erdo pointed it out, I realized that was a failure. Large towns have troops of considerable size and fine walls. But can some of the smaller towns withstand demonic attacks?
"Some towns must be abandoned."
"We need to get the message out again."
Nod and answer to General Eldo's words. On my way here I could also see quite a few demons flowing backwards. Even if it's a cage battle, there's a small squad and so on. We need to concentrate our troops on a hardy defensive town.
"Can you afford that?
I have to twist it out. Normal military orders may not make it, and this town is about to be surrounded in the first place. A land order would risk your life just to get out of town.
"Do something. And I already skipped some preaching when I said General Erdo's life..."
"It's an emergency, I don't mind. Elves have the best idea of this whole battlefield."
I think of a town that dominated as far as the capital. Most towns have to be abandoned. General Erdo nodded that was fine as I raised the name of the town to retreat.
"Then let's skip the transmission again."
I'll have to call Ellie and ask her to do the same. Or to General Barbarossa.
The first step is to summon the Orange Squad. Enter the stronghold in the town of Palmas and once transferred to the town of Sias, join Ellie. We have to bring in the Orange Squad with Ellie's gate magic.
There are 100 Orange squads to call first. All of a sudden you're going to show up from base, but if you think about it, that's all the information when Elf has a gate use where the gate is found out. I'm rather good at magic, but why didn't you have a metastasis user? There's even talk about it.
Apparently, the system of spatial magic was developed by the human (human) tribe, and because the elves that had difficulty in mastering were less necessary, the user did not show up at all. Sometimes it seems like learning space magic until you bow your head to a human being involves self-esteem.
Anyway, we could be suspected of metamagic, but we just found out and now we have a powerful back shield for the elves. There is no longer a force in Hiragis that makes obsession with elves.
"You're busy."
"Really."
Explain the abandonment of the town to Ellie, who was waiting at the base, and laugh at him for saying so when he reconfirmed his behavior after this. Ellie manages some transfers, while the point of defense is at the forefront. I came out to the point where I needed to pay attention to this upper rear town. I've been stuck in motion since yesterday's plague.
After dropping the Duchy, this is the situation where we thought the battle in Hilagis was over, taking control of the Northern Fort at once with the Erdo army that was waiting for us. I can't do it without laughing.
"So I'm going to take spatial magic to level five, too."
It's inconvenient that spatial magic is level 4 when this happens. There are few transfer points that can be secured, and there are about 10 people who can travel. I'm still short on points because of wind magic to 5, but I have extra minutes to strengthen my flesh.
Above all, there is also a need to ensure that the massively mobilized elves are withdrawn when an emergency results in the withdrawal of all personnel. That's how dangerous it is to ask for Ellie, and the movement is dull when the party is scattered, like this one. Luciana is also now earning points, but it will be level five after this raid.
"Then I'll take care of Erdo's army and the Eastern Fort."
That's what I said, but I activated the gate. I'll take Ellie for a ride, and I'll move into the elves, too. The transfer location isn't the usual castle veranda, it's like the castle hall where we partied one day. A lot of elves in scorched tea robes were already gathered, and our appearance stifled and attention was drawn.
"Prepare two hundred troops at a time. And we need an urgent, additional transmission!
The elves began to move hastily on Lilia's directive. Apparently, 100 people are ready to leave.
"They will be asked to turn to the support of the Erdo army. And by order..."
Lilia began to explain the situation in detail. Especially if the conductor is to know the situation to the maximum extent possible. Still, information seemed to be in it until around the fall of the metropolitan area, and the explanation took a short time.
"Is Hiragis' geography okay?
Lilia confirms that to a few of the people who gathered in the transmission.
"Yes, we've all learned and had enough experience as missionaries. I won't let you get lost!
"Oh well."
It is very different from Lilia, who got lost in one shot when going to a southern town. I think I can count on you.
"Ellie asks for the gate. There 'll still be room for the Eastern Fort, and I'll do it."
I already have spatial magic in 5, but I am anxious about mass transport in bumps. According to Ellie, it doesn't feel like expanding range magic at all.
We have to hurry. We have to pull out of town. Besides, he withdrew his orders to defend him. I don't care how much time I have.
No, can a near-field town retreat be done in time? You need to hold back.
"Luciana, please command the Orange Squad"
Immediately after his transfer to the town of Palmas, he tells him so. Erdo army support will be fine with that for now.
"Yes, sir."
"What are we going to do?
"I'm sending a message and I'm going to launch it. Join us to the nearest town while we destroy the demons along the way."
Like the town of Sias, the town here in Palmas was surrounded by demons, and more than a few demons were about to flow backwards. There will be a little while until we can form a unit for the Eastern Fort, one way or the other.
"Right. Let me remind you that it's a sweet idea to ignore us!
The two towns on the front line have a defensive posture. Thought we'd buy some time for the retreat of the rear troops, but it might fit when we could get out on an aggressive offense from here.
The massive input of the elves made room, as well as increased means of withdrawal in the unlikely event. I'm starting to feel like I can handle it, and I'm finally feeling a little better. Confirming this, the magic is almost entirely fast thanks to the fact that it has been kept warm so far.
It's time to fight back.
Lilia nodded at my words and activated the fry.
