~ Kilik side ~

Believing in Alto's nose, I insisted that I should take a break in the city of Achilles before moving on, and kept 15 members of the Ignorant Fire team at the scene.

I know it's a long fight, but when you leave the scene without knowing what the enemy is aiming at, and the city is devastated, it's the end of the line.....

"When a dragon is attacked like a stun while flying, allies who have not mastered flying magic will crash to death."

I can't wait to help the people, but I'm not going to make a move by betting too much!

While communicating with the residents of the city, I was recovering my body with and...... I had a "bad feeling".

After Master Alto frowned, he gave instructions aloud.

"Hmm, definitely. This rotten smell is different from the monster's stench... it's a zombie." Everyone be on alert, the Undead are nearby! "

"Undead?" There's no labyrinth around here, and I'm not expecting any zombies... whoaaaa!? "

The residents who disagreed with Alto's words looked around to confirm... and screamed as they discovered the real thing.

The ordinary people living far from the labyrinth rarely encounter the Undead, so they must have been surprised by the grotesque appearance.

That's what I thought... but I was reminded that I missed him a lot because of the line he let out when he bent over and cried.

"Giggle... my sister... she was burned to death by a zombie." Uuu... who would do such a terrible thing... "

That's right.

The zombies the inhabitants found were made from his sister... who lost her life in a burning fire!

"Purify the zombies by stabbing them with the Holy Sword that Master Zink has given you!" "Don't break the body of someone you want to steal more than necessary."

"" "" "" "" "Yes!" "" "" "

"It looks like there are others." Are the victims of the fires zombied? If this is the enemy's "true aim"..... "

"An undead like a zombie is not enough for an attack." There must be another reason. Alto-sama, they're probably after the fields. "

"Oh, I'm thinking the same thing as Kilik." If you create zombies and disperse rotting fluids all over the country, you can reduce the population without labor. "

Soil stained with undead rotting fluid is contaminated, planting seeds and water will prevent crops from growing.

When that happens, the peasants who depend on the harvest will no longer be able to eat and fall into slavery... even the lords who live on taxes and those who are not self-sufficient in food will be in trouble.

After decades, the sunlight purifies the fields and the influence of the rotting fluid fades, but before that, civil unrest or something will destroy the monkey battle empire.

Naturally, it was not possible to restore the fields by the time the demon king arrived... and it was likely to be a "annoying country" where people would leave the front or pull their legs.

"Wow. There's a lot of skeletons outside the city!" In this country... you didn't even take the basic undead measure of cremating and burying them with fat bones. "

Alto, who explored the situation from above with his flying magic, told me about the tragedy on the outside with his "face."

Whether it's a zombie or a skeleton, the undead are "those who died with strong negative emotions".....

It is a "great problem" in itself to dig a hole on the spot when he dies, and to leave the remains of sinners and slaves who are thrown into the garbage with the satisfaction of the five bodies.

I know how it feels to get rid of my hands because it costs me a lot to deal with, but what are you going to do now when you "suddenly wake up"?

Human thick bones are particularly prone to remain, so I want you to think a little bit about future generations... damn it!

"It's a patchy look... but in proportion to the number of people, the skeletons must be dizzy to keep the zombies away." The purpose is Kilik says, "soil contamination" should be seen. "

"Yes. The skeletons are the lowest Undead, so they are not very effective." There are no benefits to evacuees other than hesitating to return to the countryside or "soil contamination". "

In that case, we can choose between "clearing the stampede and hunting the zombies" or "cleaning up the undead immediately".

Stampede is more urgent, but if you overlook the "soil contamination" of zombies, you'll hit them later... no matter where you prioritize, you'll only see a future that's packed.

"I think Stampede is a priority, but just in case, let's follow Master Zink's instructions." If we don't align our legs together, we won't be able to clean up. Kilik, please write to me. "

“Very well, I will send Mr. Zink a report summarizing the current situation. Alto, along with his spare people, will defend the fields near the city!”

"Yeah, leave it to me!" If you're a skeleton opponent, you can swing the Holy Sword without any problem, and I'll make good use of your time until you give me instructions. "
