The Death Mage Who Doesn’t Want a Fourth Time

About half a month after the planting of spring wheat, villagers living in one of the settlement's rural villages had forgotten the expedition's expeditionary forces.

The faces of the villagers were all bright, and everyone really supported the expeditionary forces.

By participating in the pioneering project of Viscount Bartches, they were given a simple but family-friendly home and a territory of Maju, where they could afford a certain amount of harvest from the first year of planting and receive tax incentives. They are less than three sons of former farmers, peasants, and residents of favela.

In this expedition, Viscount Bartez did not interrupt tax incentives, and there was no food charge. Since the soldiers participating in the expeditionary force are limited to elite, there is no recruitment.

If the expedition is successful, a new Milg shield territory will be created beyond the border mountains, and the development of that territory will begin. Then crops from their villages can be sold for use in the settlements.

At first it may be a small profit, but for the generation of children and grandchildren, their village may have developed into a town as a stopover between the new territory and the Mirung shield.

Of course, if the expedition fails, the economy of the Milg Shield will fall. But the villagers did not doubt the success of the expedition.

The soldiers are the elite of the Milg shield country. In addition, [The Return of Michael the Tragedy Hero], Riley of the A-Class Adventurer [Green Spear], and the Vampire Hunter, who is famous for the Amid Empire, and the High Priest Bomak Gordan are also participating.

And the purpose of the expeditionary forces is Talosheim, which has won a great deal once two hundred years ago. He recovered the ice age, an artifact left by Michael, and settled Tarosheim this time. That is the purpose that was ostensibly announced.

I've heard that the Border Mountains are a dangerous place, but if there is a high priest who has defeated many A-class adventurers and vampires who can also defeat dragons. And Talosheim took it 200 years ago. The citadel is sure to be tattered, and the enemies are just undead and monsters of the Woai people. Not an enemy of Arda's Priest Warriors.

The expeditionary forces must defeat the evil undead and flag Talosheim with the Milg shield and the Amid empire.

It was not only the villagers of the settlements, but also many of the people of the Milg shield country.

"good luck!"

"I'm supporting you!"

The villagers were sent off, and the expeditionary forces set out for a tunnel in the border mountains.

The expeditionary forces arrived from the royal city of Milg in a month and a few days at the entrance of the tunnel on the border of the Milg shield in the border mountains.

He was going through the tunnel for the next three days and heading to Tarosheim for about a week.

Today, the troops will have their last resupply at a simple fort / gateway built at the entrance of the tunnel on the side of the Milg Shield, and the troops will rest well. In the tunnel that follows, all monsters have been exterminated by Rileys, but they will march while fighting an invisible enemy.

It has been known from lambda that even if lambda is spent in the dark for a long time, the mental state may be modulated. Of course, they march while securing lighting with magic items and lanterns, but if they do, they will inevitably lose morale.

So rest on the day before, eat alcohol and eat uncooked meat.

"So what's over the tunnel?"

The tent where the main members of the expeditionary forces gathered was the last contest before crossing the border mountains.

The tents at the entrance to the tunnel are small enough to make this tent more comfortable.

"The terrain is the same as two hundred years ago. Despite the extent of the makai, there are no sudden volcanoes or lakes.

Cesare Legston, deputy commander of the expeditionary force and the second son of the current Milg Shield of Military, points to Gordan's question, pointing at an old map.

"In the expedition two hundred years ago, we crossed the relatively safe route of the mountains and headed to Tarosheim, so this is different from the way we are going. We have to go through the woods, but only ..."

"But what is it? I don't have to get accurate reports, Cesare."

The nobleman, Count Rangil Maubitt, who appears to be a middle-aged or middle-aged man wearing a magnificent mantle in the back of the tent. The commander of this expeditionary force.

Maubit's attitude is far below Cesare, much more than the commander-in-chief and deputy commander, but that's the difference between the treatment of the sovereign and dependent states.

"... but there seemed to be a struggle between large monsters, and traces remained. For that reason, there seemed to be few powerful monsters near the tunnel exit."

"Oh, I hunted some."

Risley cried at the report, and Cesare looked down uncomfortable. It is said that the adventurer's rising feeling, but the general commander has instructed that he is the core force required for the expeditionary force and treat it as the same rank as the expeditionary officer, so it will not pick up I can't go.

And, strictly speaking, there is a Gordan High Priest who has the same secular status as a commoner, so it is also a problem to drive out only Riley.

"Oh, thanks to you, I was able to hold on until the C-class adventurers were dispatched.

"Leave it, Lord, General. I'll kill my spear no matter what the dragon or whatever."

Cesare and Gordan struggled to keep their eyes offended, with Maubit and Riley laughing at that.

If you are an A-class adventurer, your influence will outweigh the poor aristocrats, and in some cases you will build more trust with the aristocrats and great merchants than just a connection. However, they felt weird and weird.

"I don't know if it's an undeveloped Great Demon, but the danger is that it's not a big deal if you get over it in the mountains. Thanks to the Count who found this tunnel, we can do this expedition That's a thing. "

Riley said that fueled Maubit, but it seemed true to those who were here.

In fact, the fort across the mountains has been attacked by dragons several times, but all have been repelled by Riley. Most of the other monsters that attack are rank 3 or so, and they are a mixture of Wyverns and giant reptile-type monsters (dinosaurs) that have never been seen in ranks 5 to 6.

The frequency was high, and could be easily kicked by ordinary adventurers and soldiers, but far from the horror of the Border Mountains they had heard.

In fact, that's all it has to do because the Volks and the others have swept away the goblin kingdom and dragons in the process of discovering the tunnel.

In addition, the area was near the territory of Tarosheim, including near the exit of the tunnel. At the time, there were many areas that were magical, but when Tarosheim was alive, giant warriors thinned out monsters to protect the reclamation village.

That is why some dragon species still live. In the Makai, monsters are born one after another, but it is rare that a monster with a rank of more than 10 will outbreak in about 200 years.

Sub-human monsters have a shorter cycle of breeding and growth than dragons, etc., but this is not the case, but there are few sub-human monsters other than goblins in this area, and it seems that they rarely increase except in dungeons.

"So Cesare, haven't you encountered Ghoul yet?"

"Yes. Only sub-human monsters encountered about goblins, and there are some reports that they once encountered an ogre."

"Muh ..."

Gordan, who joined the expeditionary force by oracle from Arda, groaned low after passing through the tunnel without any clues to Dumpel, but convinced that they would have nested further back.

It is quite possible that Dampir occupies the destination of the expedition, Tarosheim. Sub-human monsters often use unoccupied ruins as settlements. Dumpels and ghouls are no exception.

"Then, after we get out of the tunnel, we will go ahead and check out if there is any danger. We want you to join the spy unit, Riley.

"Oh, of course. If a dragon or something big comes out, it would be harder than me.

"Hmmm. Don't lick, youngsters."

After that, they checked the planned route of the march, the formation of the scouting units, and the means of contact with the resupply units that would carry supplies later. Finally, they discussed the capture of the destination, Tarosheim.

However, this also advances while defeating monsters mainly in Gordan and Riley, and when arriving in Tarosheim, first the knights command the troops and defeat the elephantless creatures and reduce the number. After that, he searched for important bases where monsters such as the Royal Castle and the ruins of Vida Temple could hide, and defeated advanced monsters.

For most of the expeditionary forces, what they do in Talosheim is not war, but the purging of the magical lands and the search for lost national treasures. Even in Gordan, even if the oracle is true, what is done is to defeat monsters, so he does not appeal for "more elaborate operations".

And as soon as it was done, Gordan left the tent. From the perspective of him, who does not intend to flirt with the aristocracy, participating in the army was a penance, and it was just a kind of pain that could not be practiced.

Cesare went out of the tent, saying, "I'll check the soldiers and knights."

"So generals, what time do they get rid of them?"

"I'm in trouble, Riley. The old boss had to take over the commander-in-chief after the retirement of the rabbit to Horned Cesare for health reasons. If she died before that, she would be responsible for this expedition. There's no one to take it. ''

As Gordan, Cesare, and his cousin's subordinates disappeared from their tents, Riley and Maubit began a real military dispute with the survivors.

All those who remained in this tent, including them, knew the true purpose of the expedition, and were linked to the vampires who serve Hijryshkaka. The exception is about three people.

"Well done, it's annoying to me as an adventurer.

"That's not, Riley. Even so, our world is complicated."

Replied to Riley, he looked like a mercenary from the past with blonde blue eyes and scars on his face.

However, the next moment she was a woman in her thirties. It seems as if the mercenary and the woman have been replaced by [momentary movement], but the truth is that the woman has turned into a mercenary man.

"Sometimes it's more complicated than human society, so I understand your situation, just do it."

The woman whose voice changed, not just her appearance, showed white fangs and laughed.

The woman was a precious vampire from Tennessee, a former vampire, and was a member of the expeditionary army as a mercenary unit specially hired by General Maubit.

"So, I can help you with the help of the dumper and vampire traitor, Ira."

"Of course. Well, traitor Eleonora isn't much of a problem if he pays attention to [Evil Eye of Enchantment], though it's highly likely that Cellcrent is dead.

I'll lend you a hand if it seems difficult. Sneak so that it can't be broken. ''

Ira's role was to dispose of the Eleonora traitors. Many expeditionary forces are unaware that there are vampires in Tarosheim, so they are more likely to escape. As a result, Ira, who has been lent a magic item to detect the whereabouts of the Lord of Blood, is dismissed by the traitors.

It was also a trump card to assassinate disturbing vampire hunters during the expedition, and above all to ensure that Dampir ordered the eradication of the evil gods down to the oracle.

"Tenesia sent me out for that. I'm a Vampire account who is one of the five fingers under her control."

Vampire account. A vampire who claims to be Earl, ranks 10.

If you want to get rid of it, you need an A-class adventurer, even if the vampire stands from the front. The noble vampires of this rank are, of course, accompanied by many subordinate vampires, often hiding and lurking in dangerous castles rather than poor dungeons.

As a result, even a party made up of A-class adventurers may be able to go back to fight. Gordan has never defeated the count vampire.

In addition, thirty vampires, including vampires sent from Birkine and Goubamon, follow Ira. At least rank 7, which is one step down from her but there are also two rank 9 vampires.

It is a great force that can destroy this expedition alone by themselves.

"Hey, you don't have to. I'll get rid of the dampiles you're committed to."

However, if I'm not an afraid of being an A-class adventurer and a hero, Riley will show the Islays the edge of their mouth without shame. The credit is mine.

Ira, on the other hand, didn't seem particularly offended and returned with a smile.

"I'm expecting, Heroes"

For her, fulfilling her mission is paramount, and there is no benefit in spite of boring credit. If Riley kills Dumpel, that's enough.

"But is it okay? This is an expedition, so it will be a daytime battle?"

It is a time when the sun, the weakness of vampires, is in the sky. Naturally, they are taking countermeasures, and it will be the same for the opponent, but this is disadvantageous because it is the attacker. Ira smiles at Maubit, who points out that.

"No problem. And Tarosheim is a city between mountains. You destroyed the mercury mirror, already a Zacht heritage, two hundred years ago, and the sun will soon disappear."

Vandaloo opened his eyes in Tarosheim, where he continued to warm up and remember the dawn of spring. He is staring at the vacant sky without blinking.

"Come, they came."

The view of the surveillance golems and undead near the tunnel showed the lively appearance of the fort built by Milg Shield.

When you switch your view to the dispatched familiar, Remulus, there are so many human figures inside the walls of the fort that you have never seen this lambda.

The number is about several thousand. 10,000 is unlikely, but 5,000 are likely.

"Are there vampires?"

"You can't tell just by looking at it. There are quite a few knights wearing sheet metal armor."

Vampires can lose blood from their eyes, fangs, and skin, and their appearance is not much different from the race from which they came. However, since it is weak to sunlight, it is usually noticeable when you go outside with a thick cloth, fur cloak, hat, or hood so as not to burn your skin.

However, it is inconspicuous if it is natural to wear armor and helmet like an army.

"I don't think you're a knight, you're probably a mercenary or an adventurer."

"In such a case, the Milg Shield has a troublesome practice of not hiring free adventurers as much as possible.

Kelia, a former Milg shield country adventurer, supplements Eleonora's words, which tell her about the vampires.

"Is that a group?"

Vandaloo took notice of a group of armor and shields different from other soldiers. They are all heavily armed groups wearing helmets, but marching without disturbing the line.

The number is about thirty. And, of course, I don't know my face because I haven't exposed my skin to sunlight.

"Well, if I'm sure I'm there, I'd better go out today. Which way to go, west or east?"

"Then on the east side, they would come after noon if they came."

"Um, leave it to me."

After sending out Zadiris, the Bandarou and others started to move. Call back your friends during the dungeon capture and get ready.

There was no panic because I was preparing for this from two years ago. I have prepared many secret weapons and trump cards. Nobody, including Vandaluu, felt sorrowful even if he inferred that the elite expeditionary forces would be imminent, as guessed by the 6,000 voices that could be heard, and the leaking voices to express.

If the expeditionary force doubles, their complexion will remain the same.

"Final confirmation, please refrain from eating on the spot even if you kill the expeditionary force."

"I know, King. Use more mayonnaise instead!

"Oh, dinosaur fried in miso is better than human meat!"

"I want shogi!

"Yes, I'll give mayonnaise, miso, shogi, and celebration of the victory, so we'll do our best not to die.

"Did you die undead! I understand, His Majesty the King!

The atmosphere of the town is brighter than usual. Evacuation sites for non-combatants such as Pauvina are well-equipped, so there is no such thing as the escaping civilians often found in panic movies on Earth. ... There is nowhere to go if you flee from Tarosheim.

Naturally, in the southern continent, sandwiched between border mountains, there is no other safe area than Tarosheim.

"Because it's always the backwaters, it's natural to fight without preparing yourself."

Even after crossing the border mountain range, ghouls and giant undead are still hunted as monsters in the Orbaum election.

So you have to repel that expeditionary force. And almost no prisoners can be taken.

No matter how elaborate, usually consider withdrawing if your army drops by about 30%. Particularly for expeditionary forces, the war has bad conditions here.

The same is true for expeditionary troops where there is no safety zone around them, and now thousands of people are marching together, so watch out for monsters, and go for debates like goblins and needle wolf, Only a small herd attacks the thin spots. However, if you reduce the number and run away in pieces, you will be almost destroyed by the demon.

Even if you retreat while maintaining the military form, it will take a few days to escape to the tunnel in the Border Mountains.

So if the Bandarurus call for surrender, hundreds, perhaps a thousand, may realize that they will not be able to escape, even if they are ghouls or undead, trying to surrender.

"But even if you take prisoners ..."

"I can't help it."

Sam instead spoke the second half of Vandaloo's words.

`` While POWs are treated during the war either by receiving ransom from the enemy and releasing them, or taking them back as slaves, neither the Amid Empire nor the Milg Shield will have any intention to negotiate with us, nor can they be used as slaves It's difficult

In ordinary wars, the treatment of prisoners is almost exactly what Sam said, but from the perspective of the Amid Empire and the Shield of Mirgu, Talosheim is not a country, and Vandaloo is not a king. It's just a monster.

Negotiations are never established. Even if the Vandaloos try. Neither the Empire nor the Shield will ever admit that Dumpel has king ghoul and undead lands.

"If you have dozens of slaves, you can't manage a rabbit if you have a horn, a hundred or two hundred."

As Nuaz says, and how to make a prisoner a slave is difficult. There are collar-type magic items in the world that force slaves to obey, but since they are not in Talosheim, they will work while monitoring like a prison on earth.

Elite soldiers who have gone through rigorous training and practical battles, not gorotsuki or thugs.

Even if your heart breaks when you surrender, you may regain revenge and religion for Arda over time.

"In the first place, we have a small number. We can't manage hundreds even though we don't have 2,000."

The current total population of Tarosheim is about 1,000 giant undead, about 700, including ghouls and children, and about 200 new species of Braga, excluding Cemetery Bee and Immortal Ent. About 1,900.

With a golem, you can see only a future where the prisoners can get a chance, and it's the same as letting a zombie of swift do it. An elite soldier who defeats rank 3 demons alone. If it is about 2 ranks, it will be anything, and if you cooperate with several people, you may be able to beat at rank 3. In any case, the martial arts in this world can be broken as easily as rocks using martial arts.

These guys will do something if they are just brown bears.

In the first place, there is a question of what to do after enslaving a prisoner of war.

Even if you use it until you die, Tarosheim has a tireless undead and golem, so its workforce is inferior.

It will be much more difficult to reconcile and be allied than to do miracles. Even if they are from the same country, they may be relieved even if they are patient.

But they are not human for the expeditionary forces. A monster. Moreover, it is an enemy of the POWs who killed their comrades and should be defeated in the state religion of Arda.

And, above all, no one in the band has the know-how.

"But if Miko uses the [Enchant Death Attribute] skill, can she be confident?

"Thinking about that skill is almost the same as killing it."

Even if it is a living person, it is known by Katya that it is affected by [Enchantment of death attribute].

But to do so, you must be desperate to live from the bottom of your heart and be in a mental state that seeks salvation when you die.

So, if you want to turn over with the POWs and keep them alive with [Death attribute fascination], you will break the POWs' hearts with terrible torture and break them into pieces, and mutter with their dead eyes, "Kill me" or "I want to die" You have to be in a state where you can only do things.

"Isn't it more humane to kill them quickly, make them undead and then make them allies"

"Yes. Regarding information, it's faster to get the information after killing the boy if you kill it. "

"But, Miko, why are you worried about the treatment of enemy soldiers now? You must have decided to kill all of them long ago?"

"That's the case, but when it comes to that ... he'll surely come up with troublesome things."

"Hey?

"Yes, I'm a reincarnation other than me."

Kill all expeditionary forces and degrade Milg Shield.

Reincarnates will probably see this activity as wrong. That made Vandaloo feel depressed.

"Well, if you explain the situation deeply, you'll understand ... I guess.

In the end is this conclusion? This world has too much motivation to become strong.
