Jujutsushi Wa Yuusha Ni Narenai

Episode 123: Goma's Fort and Strategy (1)

Come on, whenever you want.

As if to live up to my feelings, I visited at that time.

It was after a whispering lunch that I hadn't had a walnut with in a long time on this day.

"Kyaw, Kyaw, Kyaw, Kyaw!

A grunting squeal echoes. This voice belongs to a raptor who turned it into a corpse doll.

Apart from Raina, Raptor always sends her out for reconnaissance around the tower. That means you called me back out loud.

"Are you here? Finally, this tower is Osaraba."

Confirming the arrival of the enemy, we are finally leaving the dense forest tower. Quietly, then smoothly leave the tower with the baggage you have packed in advance and thanks to the evacuation training you have provided.

"Waterfog (aqua mist)"!

The lower river is the full chant and unfolds the fog in a temper. Soon I was surrounded by a side, wrapped in bright white mist, and I couldn't see anything. Still, I feel like my filthy tongue is going to fly along with a nasty laugh from across the fog. Horizontal warfare is a little traumatic, isn't it?

"All right, let's go. First, we don't have to hurry, so let's proceed quietly."

In the mist of poor vision, the only operator who could see ahead, led the way down the river, and we started walking carefully in the jungle in a row. It's tough if it comes off, so we're tying each other's bodies with black-haired tied ropes, like when we climb a steep mountain.

"Wow, wow, wow!"

"Ngaaaaaaaaaa!"

The more I started walking, the louder the scream sounded.

"Apparently, here we go."

In the face of nervousness, says Yamajun, who goes before me.

Goma raided, only my Raptor and Ramdain flew to reconnaissance. No one has actually witnessed the Goma Legion, but if they have bothered to approach it until we can confirm it with the naked eye, they will lose the time to escape. In this case, you have to trust me (Simobe) to act.

And when I hear the noisy voices that a large number of Goma give, I can feel that the great army really pushed me over to the tower. As far as I'm concerned, I'm more relieved to hear them.

"I wonder if the tower is all right"

Yamajun whispers and asks anxiously.

"I don't know. I think the battle has just begun."

Unfortunately, I can't imagine sharing Rem's vision, so I don't know what the tower looks like either. When it comes to understanding, it's just whether Rem and No. 3 and No. 4 are alive or not. When the mud doll is destroyed, you know how it feels to lose its connection as a spell.

"Now we have to hurry."

"Yeah, you're right"

We've already taken a step that we can't take back. Everyone will feel the meaning of it. We had nothing better to do than go silently through the deep mist.

That's how I continued my whole day marching with a strong sense of nervousness. I'm terribly tired, but Rayna the boulder doesn't complain either, I mean, he's just on Engardo, so it's easy chin. Well, I made it a lot easier because it was my own saddle and saddle and a ride on a raptor that made me feel better.

Anyway, thanks to each one of us, we made it to our destination safely.

"Is that Goma's fort?"

Just as we came out on a chopped cliff, we had a view of Goma's fortress, the place called.

The surrounding area is cultivated by the circular felling of trees. In the middle of it, a stone tower was built, about the same height as the dense forest tower. The difference is that a temple like a bungalow supported by a thick cylinder is connected to the ground floor part.

Given the structure of the ruins so far, I guess there's a transfer magic formation on the top floor or in the basement of that tower.

fort, the part to be called is structured around this group of buildings. In the vicinity, though crude, a fence protruding the thick round-tails is strewn all around the guru, standing also on the four corners. In the distance, on the top of the ledge was a goma with a bow, no, from that physique was a gove or a pair of archers placed together.

The gate is one place to the front. Here too stands a gove of musculoskeletal stature with spears and axes. Others, like the outpost, were seen roaring around there with their weapons in their hands.

After all, even as we went out to attack our dense forest tower, Honmaru's defenses didn't seem too thin.

"But this isn't a fort, it's totally their settlement."

Outside the fort there were several coarsely built tents like dirty cloth and fur. Apparently, Goma's building capacity can't build a wooden house, but it can be enough to set up a tent with Marutai as a strut.

If you look closely, you can see how Goma and the others are busy going between the tents. I've only ever seen them with weapons, but when I see them gathered for dinner in a potted dish or baggy ingredient, I realize they're inhabitants of a different world. If we observed it even more closely, we also saw female-like individuals and small individuals who obviously seemed to be children.

Apparently, Goma's females have bloated bellies, not swollen breasts. Like a pregnant woman, her abdomen is rounded up. Maybe everyone I see is just a pregnant woman. And the color isn't black, it's brown. It's an increasingly cockroachy hue, and creepy.

"What are you going to do, Peach River? It doesn't look like much has changed since I got here."

"First, let's get some rest. Don't walk all the time. We're all tired."

"Are you okay?

"The sun can already set. They can't walk in the jungle in the middle of the night either, so the main unit shouldn't be back until about noon tomorrow."

The temporal respite for the fort attack should be modest. I want to keep in a hurry and give it a break to storm with my tired body.

Besides, as far as I'm concerned, after looking at the entire fort, it's not as splendid as a tactical maneuver... but I'd like to decide on the procedure.

Before the sun goes down and you lose sight of it, let's sketch the whole picture gently on the notebook and make it a simple map.

"Now, eat well. Whatever, you can take a nap. The fort will have a night raid."

"Okay, I'll tell everyone."

Well, what do we do? Though I've taken the lead so far and pulled everyone... I'm here, that fort, fine, it's well guarded.

Already, the reaction between Rem and No. 3 and No. 4, which has been left in the tower, has disappeared. Halfway through the journey we walked, I can see that you fought for quite a while, considering there was a reaction.

If you think about how Rem works, I just want to give him a break for a while.

"-" Dirty Mud Dolls ""

I recreated the lem using the surplus of basic and raptor materials I had prepared in advance for the re-summons.

"Thank you, you've done well. But, sorry, for the fort offense, do another good job."

"Ga, gaga!

I'll take care of it, Rem, who just replies with a cheerful posing. I kept it warm, I just felt jerked off saying I could storm it right now if I gave Mr. Nogumiya's spear, which is the main wappon, and the dagger of the subwappon, and then a carefully selected bow and arrow. Rem, you're always fine and I envy you.

I don't make numbers three or four. I mean, I can't afford to make it. There's no magic, and if you can't make it, where there's two more mud dolls with no great specs, it won't contribute much more to the power of the war.

Again, let's see what we have.

First of all, I'm the "Magician". As a horseback rider, there is one corpse doll raptor. One lem reinforced with raptor material.

The avant-garde are "Heavy Warrior" Yamada, "Swordsman" Ueda, and "Warrior" Nakai. The rear guard is "Hydraulist" Shimogawa, "Healer" Yamajun.

And it's a freelancer that can't be incorporated anywhere, under, independent guerrilla captain 'Spiritualist' Raina.

Again, the point of the offense will depend on how well you use Raina. If he gets serious, to be honest, I think the front breakthrough would normally be handsome too... but if I put too much strain on him, he might get laid and get away with it.

No, on the contrary, shouldn't we keep it away from the metamagic formation, which is where we flee in? Yes, if Rayna's capable, even if only one person is separated, she has the power to just come back.

"Yamajun, gather everyone together. We've got a plan."

Lurking his breath, Yamajun speaks up and gathers them all together where they had each been in small pauses. Even the triviality of assembling members can make a difference for some people. I'm sure everyone Yamajun called would move faster than me speaking directly.

"So, what about Peach River? Are you going all at once like this?"

Well, don't be in such a hurry, Yamada. I told you I'd explain the operation.

"First, I think the Transition Magic Formation is in that tower. So infiltrating there is the primary purpose"

Since the sun is already setting, we all look around at the abbreviated map of the fortress of Goma, which I hastily drew in the evening.

"Even so, the gates are tight, there's watches, there's a wooden fence."

Ask Ueda what she should be concerned about at the level she sees first. Simple, but only difficult to clear for that matter.

"Basically, I hide in 'Water Mist (Aqua Mist)', rope in with my 'Dark Hair Tie' and break in over the fence. Even if the tower door was closed, the window was open, so you could put a rope ladder in there as well."

The windows of the tower, like the dense forest tower, remain open, with no glass or doors, of course. It did not appear that treatment such as blocking with plates or the like was also applied later.

If we succeed, we may be able to break into the tower without being distracted by fog and fighting.

"But that much better? No matter how much goma, be vigilant if there's fog in your place?

Well, that's right.

The outlook works around the settlement, including the fort, cutting down trees to some extent. So if we don't get close, we can't get close in hiding unless we let the fog unfold from afar.

From the archer's gov 've arrayed in, the obviously suspicious mass of fog will look good from the top as it slowly approaches toward the fort. I'm sure, before we get to the fence, we'll decide it's an anomaly, ring bells and drums and tell them about the crisis.

"Yeah, so, I'm gonna set up a Yang Maneuver"

"Yang Dynamic? That means, uh, creating a noise that draws the attention of the other person, right?

"Yes, set fire to the settlement of Goma's tent"

Their settlement, while so small, should be called the castle town. Surrounded by fences, the only fortifications that boast a strong guard are the fortifications in the centre. The general Goma settlement, which spreads concentrically from there, is just lined with tents, nothing else defensive.

It is easy to approach in the dark at night and set fire to it. Do you still have pine oil?

"Oh, yeah..."

I know it's a great operation, but does it feel outrageous to set fire to their homes, no matter how many goma opponents, obviously like the general public? Everyone's reaction is not very fragrant.

"I don't care. It's all Goma over there, meth or kid, but if you look at us, you're just a demon."

Instead, though he lives in a human form, as if he were a human being. But for that degree of reason, I wouldn't hesitate to kill you. Even our ancestors extinct Neanderthals, right?

"The question is, who's going to do this yang, what is it? - Ayase, please."

"Huh!?

The obviously amazing reactions are endlessly wussy. Just shut up and take it on, damn it, I guess it's boulder to think. Even if it wasn't Raina, I would never forgive you for acting like such a throwaway pawn.

"It's a dangerous role, but only Ayase can do this. I want you to go around flashy, light a fire in Engald, and ride back to Ramdain where we secured the tower."

As a positive move, the firepower that instantly turns the tent group into a sea of fire, the power that just kicks through the gathered Goma, and finally the mobility that allows you to come back to the Tower of the Transition Magic Formation.

It can't be all there is but Rayna the Spiritualist, who can follow a brilliant spiritual beast.

"If Ayase can't, maybe because the fort can't attack"

There are only six of us, and we will enter the enemy's main circle. If it's a front-cut battle, we'll be pushed by the number of Goma and wiped out in no time.

But if the settlement were to turn into a sea of fire, the fortified soldiers would also jump out to digest in a hurry. If Rayna storms around, we find out it's an enemy raid, and we'll do even more.

If we can pull the soldiers away from the fort, the chances that we can occupy the tower alone will soar.

"Fuck, Raina! Because I'm coming with you!

"Yamada, I can't do that. I have the strength to secure the tower, Mr. Yamada. Then I don't think you'll carry Ramdain."

In other words, even if non-Raina members participate on the positive side, they will eventually be left behind. It would be a pattern like an example of a wasted sacrifice.

Yamada can't eat down, either, if he tells me to leave a death certainty on the boulder. Yeah, don't look like you're gonna cry, woman!

"Ayase, I'm sorry, but I was wondering if you could follow your instructions here in Takawa... I'm sure this is the only way for us all to survive."

Oh, boulder Yamajun, we're in persuasion mode here.

"Yeah, so, so... I'm scared..."

"It's okay, if Engardo and Ramdain are here, Ayase won't lose to Goma or anything."

No, really, not flattery. Seriously, you're right. If I could follow these two, I'd give them two replies to take part in Operation Yang. That's how strong the spiritual beast is.

"Please, if Ayase works hard here, we can all survive"

Then, while we sat back and watched what Yamajun's negotion was all about, and were frustrated by Raina's attitude, which continued to go on throughout this period, finally,

"... yeah, I get it, I can't help it"

"Thank you, Ayase!

Safe, successful negotiation. In the execution of the operation, we crossed the largest mountain range.

No, this would have been completely packed if Yamajun hadn't been here. Because if I were you, I would never be able to negotiate this tenaciously. No one pinched their mouth on the way, even if it wasn't me.

"All right, that's settled. Ayase set fire to the tent and moved yang. In anticipation of what has become a commotion, hide in 'Water Mist (Aqua Mist)' and approach the fort. Stay on board and secure the tower at once"

Once inside and close the main entrance from the inside, you should be able to buy a lot of time. We have enough time to destroy the Goma inside the tower to find the Transition Magic Formation.

"The question is whether there is a boss, with a core to move the metamagic formation. Maybe there's a 'gogma' that sounds like a Goma general, but maybe it'll usually be a battle with Boss Mons in the boss room"

As for the startup core, the rest is completely beaten. Worst of all, there could even be no gogma... but if you think that the magic compass keeps showing this fort so hard, you have to believe that this is the only place we're transferring.

"It's a hit-and-run, no exit, leeward formation. The operational decision shall be taken at 2: 00 p.m. And then, get ready and try the fort."
