The Death Mage Who Doesn’t Want a Fourth Time

Episode 18: The enemy's enemy starts to move, but prepares to attack without noticing

A female adventurer who surrendered to the oak without resistance was hit by a thick vine instead of a rope.

A grinning grin and a laughing young Noble Orc hold the edge of the vine as if it were a pet dog. The demons who follow it were equally laughing.

It would be nice to keep the master's mood while this woman was a master's sniffer.

The female adventurer was then pulled up by the Noble Orc and taken to his father's orchid kingdom.

The female adventurer remained expressionless, even though she might continue to be born with monster pups until her death. But no one noticed, including the Noble Oak.

It is impossible to read the detailed expression of a human being with a demon, and the expression of a woman is not a problem for Noble Oak.

A long man sitting deep in a chair, closing his eyes as if sleeping, quickly opened his eyelids and quickly held his mouth with a handkerchief.

"Oh, how filthy ..."

The breath of a stinky oak, the laughter of a goblin, the clever Kobold. The ultimate is for pigs who consider themselves noble. And women who cannot be killed by them and are treated like livestock.

I was prepared to see them and I knew it was such a request. However, the man still struggled with nausea.

"Are you okay, Luciliano?"

"Well, no problem. Uh ... I'll call the Butler, Viscount. There's a report."

"I'm afraid, I'll call my husband. I'm sorry, meanwhile, Luciliano, please wait for a while."

A butler who seems to have come to see him brews a cup of fragrant black tea and then leaves. By the time your husband comes, you will probably want to drink this tea and recover from nausea.

Luciliano felt the fabulous sight of his mind waning over the wonderful tea scent. No, it's a job, so don't forget.

"Is reconnaissance successful?"

So Kaisel's beard came in, shouting at the secret request. No, a nobleman with a Kaisel beard came in. Leaving the cup quickly, Luciliano bowed to the nobleman and greeted him.

"I would like to report, Viscount Bernau Balches."

This nobleman, Viscount Bernau Bartez, was the lord of the area and the client of Luciliano.

A nobleman who looks smart for his middle age and has no special features other than having a respectable Kaiser beard, he is not incompetent. An average noble.

"My Life Dead has managed to sneak into the orc settlement."

Life dead. It is a special type of undead that is created using the magic of life attributes.

It is a corpse whose magic has been applied to a fresh corpse that has stopped beating and breathing and has resumed life activities.

Although the heart and lungs are moving, but have no soul, they are classified as undead, but their appearance is indistinguishable from the living. Even if you touch it, it has a body temperature, and you can use magic to detect life reactions. It can only be seen by a person with no expression and a flat tone.

The only drawback is that you need to eat and sleep because your body is magical. Later, unlike the pure undead, the poison works, and you get sick.

Luciliano was used by Viscount Barches to use the life dead as a messenger and to use his senses to verify the truth of a rumor.

Rumors circulate among the adventurers .... Rumors say that powerful monsters are nesting in the jungle that resembles a dense forest far away from town.

For some time now, the party of adventurers heading for a magical forest-like magical area has often not returned. Initially thought to be the whining of an armless adventurer, a bandit working solo witnessed a horrible thing. Noble orcs, led by orcs, goblins and Kobolts.

Noble orcs, higher ranks of orcs and intelligent, often organize herds of demons, numbering in the hundreds.

Find out if the bandits really witnessed a Noble Orc, and if so, how many Noble Orcs are currently in the swarm. That was the job of Luciliano.

"A squadron-sized fleet led by Noble Orcs captured my life dead, and were taken straight to their village. Is it about three days after entering the Makai?"

"So how many noble orcs are there !? The size of the group!"

"The number of Noble orcs we could see were two, the commander of the company and the king of the village, but there was one or two more.

The total number of demons is about four to five hundred. "

"Three noble orcs, five hundred demons ...!"

Viscount Baruches is almost crushed by Luciliano's report. Noble orcs are at least rank 6 monsters, of which the higher one also kills dragons. That's at least two, at most four or more. In addition, if the 500 monsters follow, the total strength of his territory ... from the knights to the town guards and active adventurers, the two characters of destruction can be seen.

"But the Noble Orcs are not so good individuals, including the king. Oh, of course, as a Noble Orc. What can we do if we collect about 200 classes? "

"Really!?"

Suddenly, Viscount Baruches returns to a paper-like complexion. However, he sighs immediately.

"Even so, it's important. You have to recruit 200 or more adventurers to a class B or better class. Knights and soldiers are worried about their ability to respond to demon opponents. Surplus.

You must consult Military Palpapek. "

If you can't deal with it yourself, as a ruler, ask for help. Because of the height of the pride, if you defeat the demon by trying to respond by yourself, you may be able to overrun the territory rather than the blunder.

In that respect Viscount Barches is a nobleman who is not ashamed of Kaisel beard.

"Noble Oaks are going to move in the summer. Apparently there is a group of demons that do not follow themselves at the Makai, and they seem to be busy with their response. Probably a ghoul."

"If so, do you have time?

Luciliano, you had a hard time. I'll pay the commission to the adventurer's guild, but I'm still confidential about this. The people panic. ''

"Thank you"

Luciliano was relieved that the road bank was finally earned. From the Amid empire and its dependencies, where the power of the Alda religion was limited and the use of the undead was limited, he had long been willing to escape and was accumulating travel expenses.

Let's go to the nearby Orbaum election for the time being, and then search for a cozy town.

"Then, don't continue to receive a nomination request."

However, the schedule was postponed in a word by Viscount Barches.

By February, Vandalu had gathered the surviving ghouls at the Maju to form a noble orcish army.

The king is usually stout in his hometown, but in the case of Vandaloo, he joined the messengers directly, visited under the ghouls, and persuaded him to cooperate.

It was an effect of [Death attribute charm], and it was to gather the ghouls smoothly ...

"Is it a King choreographer, I am"

"No way, King. By the way, build a new house because the number of people has increased, King."

"Yes yes"

[Golem training] Skills are used to change the shape of wood golems and the like to create pit-type dwellings. A full-fledged house is difficult because it has no knowledge of architecture, but since it has been staying for more than a year, a pit-type house can be made.

This golem architecture is very easy as the material moves from itself and moves to the commanded place and takes shape. It doesn't take much to make a pit house if you have the materials.

"Wow!

"King expands the village and asks for the outer wall."

"Yes yes"

The trees that have been felled are turned into wood golems, shaped and forged into wood. The earth on the ground is turned into an earth golem, and they are retreated and dig a hole to make a pit dwelling. Ten houses can be constructed simultaneously as long as they can be seen.

If you go to the Orbaum election kingdom, can you eat with this? I don't know if there is a need for pit dwellings in that country, but I can afford to think about that.

When ten more pit dwellings have been built, they will start working on the outer walls. This is a simpler task than living. You just need to build a sturdy wall.

If you order it, you can leave it alone and it will take only a few minutes.

"It's a king!"

"Nice!"

"King, King, King!

Ghouls who make a king call by raising their fists. Since ghouls are basically lazy breeds, they will spare no praise for those who can quickly perform cumbersome tasks like Vandalu.

I don't think I'm going to emulate.

"Hey, Van. My mother is calling."

"I see. Well then, thank you."

Vandalou leaves after being bowed with Pecoli. The cheering of Ghouls who did not work hard thanks to him continued for a while.

The number of ghouls that absorbed the four herds, including the village of Tarea, exceeded 270. Half of them are women, and there are a few elderly. But Ghoul is a race that continues to be an excellent warrior, regardless of gender, until nearly 300 years old.

At the top of each of the four flocks is a rank four ghoul warrior, no strong ghouls of rank five or higher, such as Vigaro and Zadiris, but they are well-equipped by Tarea.

Iron turtle shell armor boasting defense power comparable to full plate armor but much lighter.

A spear that uses the horns of the lanceble that penetrates the iron armor at the tip.

Even if the adventurer is below D class, it is a fulfilling way that it is hard to reach. Although not a magic item, the combat abilities of armed ghouls are not simply measured by rank.

Humans who are inferior to demons due to their physical abilities and special abilities can win the demons. It is collaboration, skill, and substantial equipment. They have the last one.

But the price was something they didn't have.

"What does it mean that you can't fight well in that year?-Are you really living ten times as much as me?"

"What's that?-I've built armor and a woman's own weapon so far. Keep the puss who never gave birth to a child."

Basdia and Tarea gazing at each other. A female warrior of one and a half-teens and a height of one hundred and ninety, a small girl of one and a half-teens. In fact, a 26-year-old daughter and a 260-year-old patriarch who has lived a fierce life.

For some reason, they were not on good terms.

However, Talea and the women in her settlement didn't know how to fight. In addition to martial arts skills, magic that should be suitable can use only simple things that are useful for life, and it is difficult to use for battle.

But by Treasure, they are functioning as a group of profession that is unlikely to be a ghoul race. Even though they are all less than Talea, they are more than one armorer, so they are still making weapons for warriors to use.

"This, the child will give birth to the van!"

"This little girl has Van !? Is that so, Van !?"

"... the nuances are different, but they are."

In the sense that we are working on the problem of declining birthrate. But why were they quarreling? Vandalou looked far away.

"I'm familiar with vans in the first place."

"It's only you who are calling you without any kind of familiarity."

Two people glaring at each other sharply. Ghoul seems to be where the fangs make a noise all the way.

The bad affair of the two began when Vandaloo returned with the Taleas.

To get into the Ghoul King, Treasure jumped into the wagon, saying, "I have a consultation about the upcoming battle." He arrived at the village with Vandalu, who took a nap like a toddler.

Basdia, who came to meet him, witnessed and argued ... This is how it looks.

No, the cause is also known by Vandaloo. But I don't know why Ghoul's Basdia, who doesn't have the concept of marriage, hits Taleah. Even if I feel like I've got a good brother, I can't think of what I've done so far. First of all, why do they seriously compete for a two-year-old child so far?

"What about thinking a little old?"

"Oh, I'm sorry. I'm just as if I'm a former human being, I'm going to behave exactly as she looks. I'm jealous, old people like you."

"... I hang down for that."

"That's dripping !? No! It's not drooping but big!"

"I see. I'm not looking down at all."

Talea protests violently, and Basdia looks down on her with a generous expression. Both are rich bust owners, and in fact Basdia's chest protrudes forward like a shell and does not seem to hang down.

"This muscle stupid!"

"Don't you know? Evan likes muscles."

"Well, I like or love it."

Muscle is power, if you have power you can graduate from the strong, that is, if you have muscle you can be trampled. Oh, wonderful, muscle.

The quarrel between Basdia and Taleah continues, as to whether or not such a mutter of Vandalu is heard. The feeling is that Basdia who can afford the Treasure that gangsters can afford can see only the future where the merits of the year will be defeated before youth. However, the future does not come midway because Talea does not give up.

What time is the future to start constructive discussions on Noble Oak?

"How do I stop?"

When asked, Zadiris muttered, "Let's make me with neither muscle nor chest," and Vigaro looks up with his arms folded. . The heads of the other settlements seem to have no intention to speak out because they were originally defeated by Talea in power relations.

"Here should be stopped by a chan"

Saria, who is present on behalf of Sam who cannot leave the carriage, said so.

"Do you want to be a nobleman? If it ’s, you ca n’t do that much ”

"... It's going to be a big change to my noble image."

"Aristocrats struggle with women. So was the house of the noble where we worked. ''

The fight between the wife and the concubine seems to be amazing. Speaking of which, Bandarou remembered that the Oku of the Edo era that he heard while living in Japan seemed to be a great thing.

Basdia and Talia are neither wifes nor concubines, but it is true that the cause of the fight is himself, so Vandaloo stood up to stop himself.

"Fun! I'll wait until the weapon I made has dropped the Noble Oak's neck!"

"Oh, after I used your weapon."

What will end when you get up?

"Now, I'd like to work on a strategy to capture Noble Oak."

It would have been nice to just say that without being upset.

Ghoul's current strength is about 230, with Bandarou and his colleagues. Armed with magic items provided by Vandaloo and equipment produced by Talea and others.

Despite the loss, the level of equipment is clearly higher than the Noble Orcs. No matter how many orcs, goblins, and Kobolts are put together, their heads will not be better, so arming will be a little better than other demons.

I don't know if that alone could overturn the difference between number and quality.

Regarding the difference in the number, there was a plan for Vandalu to mass-produce golems and undead, but this is used as a material for stone golems and rock golems that can cope with oaks in dense forest, and golems are rejected because there are few stones and rocks .

Even if it is undead, it is rejected because it is only rank 1 in the state just made from monster bones and corpses, so it does not become a strength for orc opponents.

There is a way to increase the number of living armor that can be made from rank 3 from the beginning, but it was rejected to use it to enhance the ghoul's weaponry rather than to use armor, because it definitely increases the strength.

It doesn't stay.

"First, the raid here. I think this is the rule."

Everyone agreed with Vandaloo's words. There is a lot of difference in quality and quality, so there is no choice but to attack from here.

In the first place, the opponent's mainstay, the orc, is a monster with excellent rush power and strong power. Only those who can build a solid fort can defend against such opponents. The outer walls of the wood surrounding the outside of the ghoul settlement will not last for a few seconds.

Conversely, orcs are not good at protecting.

"We have already identified the opponent's position and have scouted it through the eyes of the insect undead we released. This is what we struggled to raise on the map."

I couldn't see the details because I looked through the insect's compound eyes, but it was enough to explore the layout of the building. When you show a map drawn with dye on the skin of a monster instead of paper, the ghouls of Ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooowe.

"Is this a map?"

"What is this square?"

"Amazing van, can you draw a map?"

"Van, Ghoul doesn't usually use maps, so ... I need a little more explanation."

"... my efforts"

I forgot to stay here for almost two years, but the cultural differences were great.

Remembering the time he worked hard to draw the map, he fell lightly, so Vandaloo turned the ground of the pit dwelling into an earth golem and made a model of a Noble Oak settlement with Golem Training.

It is a matter of conviction.

"Boy ... Isn't it hard to draw a map with this method from the beginning?"

"Ah……"

I was depressed.

"Oh, this is amazing!"

"Soil attribute magic !? But I've never seen anyone with such fine control!"

"It's even more amazing! @ Much easier to understand than the map!"

In addition, the gallery's evaluation was higher here. From now on, let's make a model like this, without having to draw a map. It was Vandaloo to decide so.

"It's a rabbit, an enemy's outer wall is made of wooden logs, two entrances, one east and one west, and a watchtower is one east, west, south, and north. However, there are Kobolts or goblins."

"Oaks are heavy. You will not want to climb the tower."

The average oak is about two meters tall. Weight easily exceeds one hundred kilograms, and becomes heavier with weapons and armor. Rather than wanting to climb the turret, it may not be possible to make a turret that can bear the weight.

"Basically, all buildings are made of wood, but fires should be used as little as possible."

"Um, if the fire spreads, the women caught will burn and die."

More than a hundred female ghouls and more than a dozen female adventurers are trapped in the settlement and made into comforters. They are a precious mother for the orcs, but I don't think they will endanger their lives during the battle.

"On the contrary, it could be taken hostage."

"Oh, I'm going to do it."

Until now, Vandalu has never worried about rescue targets being taken hostage. However, it was because the undead boners were in the front of the battle, and the enemies who saw it convinced themselves that "the hostage was meaningless."

This time, Vigalo and Ghoul are the main players, so of course, the orcs will also consider hosting the female ghouls.

"So my primary goal is to secure this building first, here and later."

Female ghouls in captivity are determined to help. There was no objection because Vandaloo was enthusiastically asked by the spirits of Ghoul for help, and even the Zadiris would be willing to help if they could attack.

"What is a human woman doing?"

"I'm going to help that too. I'll decide what to do after helping."

Vandalou answered Vigaro's question. Although captive, the female adventurer is a common enemy of Ghoul and Vandalu. It doesn't always mean you'll benefit from helping them, and you may think they're just changing their owners from oak to ghoul.

On the contrary, they may run away or get the worst attack, but it's probably okay. The orcs can't handle the women gently, so they're going to be mentally and physically tattered right after helping them, so they can't move properly.

There are also reasons for Vandaloo that he wants to help him as much as possible in order not to give him any material to attack with cheats that will be reincarnated in the future.

"Then, at the signal of Vandaluo, the women are secured after the charge, and then killed until the enemy escapes. That's fine."

"After all, it is a flock tied only by fear. Goblins and Kobolts should escape if the number of orcs decreases to some extent."

"Noble orcs are unconditionally obedient to subordinate orcs."

The group of demons is basically dominated by fear by the ruler of the group. Therefore, if you are exposed to fear that is greater than that fear, you will easily break it down.

The oak will continue to submit to the noble orc, a superior species, but we need to leave it. It is because there is no drill if a large settlement is built a few years later after fleeing easily.

"Well, when the Noble Oak in question is defeated with the support of Vandaloo,"

He speculated that Vigaro, who had the best fighting abilities, would be able to make a good match even with Noble Oak opponents of one or two ranks if Vandalu's support was added.

"And until the leader of the settlement, Noble Orc, comes commander Vigalo and Zadiris. We are shortstop."

"I don't know if King is a shortstop, but that's the best way to harness the little boy's power, but we need to get in touch with the reconnaissance undead and contact. I can't hear you. ''

Vandalu, who was appointed Ghoul King, does not have the commanding skills in group battles as he said at the time of his inauguration. So despite being King, he decided to act as a shortstop in this battle.

"Be careful, Van. Your life isn't just for you."

"Yes, it's not just my life in the sense of a declining birthrate, and I'm careful because I still want to do something."

[Alchemy] Resolve ghouls' falling birthrate problem by learning skills. After that, I would like to try making walnut miso and acorn miso, and I also want to make a [aged] magic item and a refrigerator using [oniki] before traveling to the Orbaum Selection Kingdom.

There is a lot to do for the ghouls and there are many reasons why you have to kill Noble Orcs. You have to be careful and do nothing.

Moreover, Darussia must be revived and revenge must be achieved. There is no shortage of reasons not to die.

"So, departure is three days later."

Bubububububu.

A number of insects flew their wings east to east.

There are beetles, fly and dragonfly, butterflies and ladybirds. Some of the insects have a predator-predator relationship, but they are flying without saying that it does not matter.

The insect was an undead using a carcass of a bug that Vandalu had released more than a month ago, just in case.

Their mission is to find other magical areas where the ghouls escape in case of an emergency. And exploring what's on the way for Vandaloo to travel across the eastern mountains in the future.

The insects progressed without night or day. I was caught by some birds and living insects and reduced the number, but I can proceed. It passes over cliffs of sharp rocks like blades, and hills full of fearful herbaceous plants, just passing by.

And the insects stopped on part of a long stone wall just over one mountain range. After flying around a wall that was large enough to be a part of a mountain range, but where some cracks had broken in some places, the insects stuck to the wall after exploring.

Mission accomplished. All you have to do now is wait for your husband to contact you. Until then, I stay still.
