I’m a NEET but When I Went to Hello Work I Got Taken to Another World (LN)
220 Stories Hilagis Northern Battle - Price of Life
The attack on the Northern Fort was decided by summary judgment at an early morning meeting.
"First of all, the Erdoz army sent me a hundred elites."
General Erdo nods. Seems like he intends to lead troops on the ground as well as operational meetings.
"Then there are 200 or so Swordsmen of Biels."
Um, my master nodded, too.
"And 200 Orange Squads."
The Elf Orange Squad is constantly solidifying our perimeter, and a few of us are still holding back on the walls of the big room in the base.
Then, of course, we're the main force behind the operation. One for the defense of both towns in Ann and Luciana at the answering machine. Anne is a little noisy with the Temple Knights when she takes them, and Luciana is also a messenger in emergencies because she can also use metastases.
Then we'll confirm the operation.
Although the terrain on the ground is somewhat grasped by listening, detailed operations are difficult to put in place to understand the current situation and enemy forces.
"Me and Tirica first, a small number of people around Lilia sneak in close to the local area. Send out Tirica's subpoena and build a bridgehead on the ground. Transport personnel at the gate all at once to control the Northern Fort. Me and Ellie are gonna fix the walls."
If only the walls were suppressed…… If we maintain them later, the demonic influx would stop and the Hilagis recapture should succeed if we drive away minutes within Hilagis.
"The rest, as usual, do it ad hoc"
Ad hoc. Good word. It's our basic style to push it off with fire and do something about it. I can't change it now.
Then I'll make some checks on the chain of command, the means of withdrawal at times of need, and the defense policy of the walls.
"Then the decision will be made in a moment. Everybody get ready and rest."
The truth is, after the meeting, I was going to go out as soon as I could, but if I just couldn't afford it, I decided to see two extra hours.
I have some things to prepare for, too. Only I need to carry the supplies, the arrows, after the Northern Fort is taken, as well as confirmation of the preparation of the elves who will eventually emerge and the transmission of the operation. I've already told him to some extent, but I also need him to keep in mind because he's suddenly entering the battlefield with a metastasis.
"What will you do to replace Fort Orient?
That's what Luciana asks.
"I'll do it first."
Alongside the Northern Fort in Hilagis, another preparation for the demonic realm is Fort Orient. I receive reports of the defense from time to time, but I have time, and you can check it again with your own eyes. If you can drop the Northern Fort, and the others fall, it makes no sense. But...
"Barbarossa Army, it won't last long!
Waiting at Fort Orient was another battlefield crisis.
"The walls have been destroyed and the demons have gone to town. Once pushed back, the situation was overwhelmed near the walls and could not be repaired."
An elf in a preaching order has been waiting for us to come at the base. Pretty bad, huh?
"What's the time?
"I have just arrived. From here to the town where Barbarossa's army is located, Lilia should be able to do so in about four and a half minutes."
Thirty minutes to travel. I can use it for an hour and a half because I can transfer home. Enough time to sweep the local demons and dispatch the Orange Squad.
"I have time. I'm going to help. All right?"
"Of course not. Let's give him a big thank you."
It's me and Lilia now, and Miriam with a master. You're a little short of a hand. I want more firepower because I have time limits.
"Once I get back. Tell Ellie the situation and increase the fighting power to take her."
Start chanting of the metastasis. Attach a fight in two hours. I've already consumed about five minutes out of two hours, but this one with no exact clock is a big mess in time. One hundred and twenty minutes can be considered as an error.
I also asked Ellie to explain the situation and replenish the Orange Squad, and then there were a few appropriately...... Ellie needs to stay and have a look at the whole thing. Ann is troublesome when the Knights are together. Lilia naturally goes, then Charlencia, Luciana and Tirica. Plus some avant-garde. Should we go that way and then bring him in with a metastasis? But I don't know what's going on over there, and Lilia's speed shouldn't slow down at this rate.
"Good. Ellie, it's an emergency."
When they moved to the base, Ellie and the others were still talking about any overlooks or holes in the operation.
"Tirica, Charlencia. One or two more avant-gardes will be here shortly. I'm going to rescue the Barbarossa army."
"What!? Are you starting now?
Ellie raised her voice of surprise.
"They can't afford to be pulled out of the walls already over there. I'll be back by the end of the operation. Oh, and go inside the elves and ask for reinforcements for General Barbarossa. All right, gather around. We'll be transferring right away."
After transferring to Fort Orient, pick up the elf's preaching and leave.
If you ask the preaching in detail while travelling on the fly, the force will be severed in the first place because of the plague noise, the supplies won't arrive. So the situation didn't seem very good from the start. Of course, General Barbarossa knew about it, and when he received reports of a massive demonic raid from the north, he deliberately withdrew his main force from the main streets to a town off.
Especially when it sounded like supplies. Without arrows, defense battles can be relied upon magically. That's how the walls are destroyed when the magic runs out.
"Is that it? But you pulled out of the main route, didn't you?
"Yes, that's right. Master Masal has sealed off the streets, hasn't he? Perhaps that's..."
Me!? Soon after the demonic rebellion began, they built a moat with dirt magic, one place on the street to buy time for the troops in the rear towns to retreat. I was just trying to buy some time, but the demons also avoided the main route with the moat, and it seems that General Barbarossa had concentrated his forces before he escaped.
"Oh, it's not my fault, is it?
Demons, General Barbarossa's movements, etc., are out of range of expectations. But no one uttered a clear word of denial.
"Yeah, let's just say we didn't hear this story"
What matters is what we're going to do. Don't do anything if I don't. The other demons just went, and I'd rather say that there's a side to Barbarossa who ran away that helped me take on the damage. Yeah, safe.
I could see the demon as I talked more about it than that. A good number of them are headed further south. If I can afford it, I'm just taking it down, but now I just have to leave it alone.
"It won't be long."
Instruct Lilia to raise the altitude in the words of that decree. Increasing altitude makes it harder for enemies to find, and the range they can foresee is wider and more advantageous, as is the case for humans when the air is thinner, but the Spirit also seems to suffer and consume more magic in vain, so they usually fly low altitudes.
"Well, you can see it."
"The walls remain broken, but you don't seem to have been fully pushed in yet"
Sati explains for members without eagle eyes. And all the chance and all the demons are concentrating on the place. It appears that the demons have not been able to repel effectively, even from parts of the walls that are close to destroyed, and that barricades have been erected throughout the town to prevent them desperately.
"Let's get down there on the walls. When you get down, Lilia, let go of the demon outside immediately. Near the walls..."
"I am."
"Then it's Luciana. I'll fix the walls if I destroy them near the walls."
"What about Riku?
Riku the Land King Turtle, is it your turn...
"You don't seem to need it yet."
Most of the walls are secured by the Barbarossa army, so there's no need for scaffolding, and if you repair the walls, you can afford it. Besides, even if we let them out here and they misidentify us as our enemies, it's bad luck.
"Everyone's, shut your mouth. We're going through!"
Lilia said it. Fluffy floating came and went into acceleration all at once. It drops vertically with tremendous momentum. "Hino," I heard someone push him to death. I'm just used to flying high, too, but I'm afraid of vertical falls. I'm with the jet coaster. I'm scared even though I know I don't have to worry about falling.
But thanks to its speed, it gave no time to accommodate the harpies who were flying around the town, and stepped down to the walls with little clashing momentum.
"Whew!?
Whatever the surprised soldiers, Lilia begins chanting and breaks in so that the avant-garde protects the wizard group. But soon the guards cheered.
"Elves? Elves!
"Elf? You're here already!
"Yay, this will help!
The name of the elf and his appearance are of course blasted by the Barbarossa army as well. Well, I've helped you many times already! General Barbarossa hates the whole snake scorpion thing, but he's gotten a lot of favor from the average soldier, which is why he went to help him over and over again. Well, this is probably one of the reasons they hated scratching the manpower's expectations.
Almost simultaneously the range magic of Lilia and Luciana bursts.
"We're moving!
The next step is to restore the walls. There's quite a bit of blurring. I couldn't do it with one shot, but it's a town wall. The more magic you consume, the more you finish building.
"Then call the Orange Squad..."
"Wait, Masal"
"Hmm?"
"We just defended the town on our own here, and Barbarossa's abalone won't be able to thank you for a single shard, will we?
Though there is no difference that you would be absolutely right.
"So what are we gonna do?
"Luciana, Charlencia. Keep your walls guarded for a while."
That's what Lilia said when she gave the two elves instructions.
"Negotiate. Make him bow his head for help. With the pride of the elves!
Hmm. Well, if that's what you're gonna say, let me do it. The immediate crisis has left, and time remains for more than an hour.
General Barbarossa's whereabouts were not so far from the walls that the SS was able to protect him disappointingly and discover him noticeably and immediately.
"Again! You guys!
That's how General Barbarossa yells when he enters the tent where he was passed by his face pass.
"Ooh, ooh. I saved your life. Isn't that rude?
"I don't remember telling you to help me. I don't care what you've done."
Lilia lowers her back to the chair in front of the general without permission and looks at me like I said.
"Then I don't need any more help. The demon wave won't hold for at least two days, but it's good to survive."
Hearing at least two days, General Barbarossa just as well roared "Mmm".
"Money? How much do you want?"
"Just keep your head down and ask me to help you, okay? Would it be easy?
"Two million... No, five million. How about that?
5 million gold is worth 500 million yen. Quite a reward though...
"What the hell is that money? Are you making fun of the elves?
"Then there's going to be 10 million."
"Don't talk about it. One hundred million, if that's all you got, I can help you, okay?
"Hey, such an amount!
100 million gold, 10 billion yen. Looks like a tough sum, even for a great nobleman. But I don't have the option of not paying. Suppose General Barbarossa doesn't bow his head, doesn't give money. But whatever happens to us, saving this unit is a certainty. The General's voice falls to the ground. My career as a soldier will be over. At least I will surely lose the trust from my men.
Well, if you look at your attitude so far before then, you'll never think you'll get help for free. Though I took a breath now, the future of this town would be hopeless without relief as it is. Even if you skip the fact that your own life is at stake, no matter what happens to the general, there is no other way left but to stand by the elves.
"I don't think you know what's going on. Everywhere now, defense alone is a critical situation. I support it with my elves. You don't have any shards of war you could have sent anywhere else, do you?
There are no shards, but I've only been here for two hours to see a respite under critical circumstances.
"We are now preparing a counter-attack operation, a plan to seize the Northern Fort. If you succeed, let's stop the influx of demons from now on. It hurts to see a corner of the Rebellion disappear, but it's never fatal, is it?
"But a hundred million! Golden Deceased."
"At the price of your life and the lives of your men. Isn't that the amount you can't pay? Or do you want me to bow my head and ask you to help me?
That's all General Barbarossa looks like from the bottom of his heart.
"Hmm. Then I'll give you half the price if you answer the concubine's question honestly. You can store it. It's not exactly food. The Lord's land is a good barn, isn't it?
Food. I thought it was just harassment, but I found out what Lilia was thinking. I guess the money and the demand for food were for Hiragis. Lilia can lower her drinks. The Hiragic people are helpful. Two birds a stone is the one.
Then... General Barbarossa said with a little thought.
"What's a question?
"Were you going to abandon General Erdo when he fell into distress in the town of Comb?
"... isn't it a really stupid story to risk our army for him?
The general looked closer to us and said, lurking his voice. I guess you just don't want me to hear anything else. Normally I can barely hear anything but Lilia.
"I mean, were you gonna abandon me?
……
"Answer."
"Yes."
"Fine. I could hear an interesting story. Don't worry, I'll keep this quiet. Sure. Why don't we just change that disrespectful attitude again?
"Hmm. Whatever you say, who believes in it?"
The general responds to Lilia when she smiles happily that she has taken hold of her weakness, and flinches back again. I don't seem to be willing to change my attitude. But this attitude, even though it's the body I hired for money. I would definitely abandon him if he were the only one.
"You know someone who's a real cop, right?
"Our family has been loyal and trusted to the royal family for generations, and we are still fighting at great sacrifices here. I don't care what you say when you're a lowlife."
Even though Tirica was listening, she was unofficially treated as a situation where she was hiding and listening. Still, it should be certain as a testimony, but is there any manipulation to mislead? When I thought so and looked at Tirica, she shook her head gently.
"I didn't hear you."
Yes, whisper Tirica. Seriously. It's a distance you can't get a voice unless it's also a hearing skill in a standing position. Even though I haven't even heard it, it would be hard to imitate it like it would come out if you let me talk to you.
"I'll pay you more than that exactly. Let's get to town protection."
Er. Then it would be a failure to concave Barbarossa even though I took precious time. Well, that's not the main purpose, and I hope you got plenty of money or food.
"Lord Barbarossa, you should keep it that way"
"What, you?
"Lord Barbarossa's words, I did hear them, too. So there's no shortage?
That's what I said and Will moved forward, taking off the helm he had been wearing and exposing his face.
"Hmm... Did you see it somewhere..."
"Loyalty to the royal family, I'm glad, but disrespect to my people over and over again, can no longer be overlooked. It's been a long time since I've tried to improve my relationship with elves, beasts and dwarves as an imperial policy. Come on, let's go again."
Will, who speaks that way, has a serious look as if he were unusual. These days, thanks to my hard work, my rigour has increased, and I look more handsome when I look serious.
"Then, stupid...... Prince Wilfred? Why is the prince here!?
General Barbarossa's face turns blue.
"I've been working with Elves for a while now."
"Oh, do you know your father?
Will's father is the first commander-in-chief of the Imperial Army to inherit the throne. In other words, he is the next king of the Galais Empire. As a prince, I was humbled to say that he was the eighth son and that inheritance rights were pretty inferior, but this wolf of General Barbarossa's. Conne is still important.
"This is my personal behavior. So, if there's no problem, there's no need to report it, is there?
"See, that's what the prince says. Don't you owe us anything?
The general sees Lilia, who says thank you, and again sees Will.
"This is Lord Liliane, the first princess of the elves. If you're as noble as Lord Barbarossa, you should know as much as to thank the royalty of another country.
Looks like Will finally got that far and the general noticed, too. I turned to Lilia and got my place right.
"... Lord Liliane's repeated help is greatly appreciated"
When I said that, I bowed my head just a little.
"We don't have time for this. Well, good."
That's what Lilia stood up for.
"Oh, yeah, yeah. Please don't tell me I'm here. I don't want to worry about your father for nothing."
As he walked away, Will said the same and put the helm back on tightly. I think he's pretty worried at the time he runs away from home and becomes an adventurer.
"Now he can't get his head up on us. Well done."
I'll snort at Will for Lilia's words, too. I gripped my weakness, and there's a leak outside about Will. Well, I don't mind leaking at all.
"That was such a good time!
Goddamn it.
"Wouldn't you be hotter if you were as serious as you usually were earlier?
"Uh, I mean, it's easier this way."
Waste.
"Somehow the last few months I've spent with my brother have been darker than all my life combined..."
"Oh, I know. I know how that feels."
Everyone nods to Lilia's consent. Well, since I've been here, my life has been tens of times thicker than when I was in Japan.
"All right, then we'll fly inside the elves. Make sure you get some space here."
But now it's more coming than ever. Like Lilia said, everywhere is full of hands now, but would the elves alone be tough to defend this place? Time seems to manage to fit within the limit, but to be certain, one person will need a protective hold... and Luciana who can use the metastasis.
An additional burden where you just can't afford it. Please don't let anything more unforeseen happen.
"Brother, I... I'm going to confess to Mr. Francesca when this battle is over."
Hey idiot, stop the death flag!?
