The Grand Prince Has Run Away

Rrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!

The short burst of reel spiders echoes across the wire.

It is a one-sided massacre. In front of the mighty firepower of Fort Zabbol, a group of reel spiders collapse into miserable ruins, unable to mount a proper attack.

The instinct of a demon to attack, neglecting death, or the physical ability of a powerful reel spider, was meaningless. They fall without a hitch in front of the shoals, and the rest of them burn and die in front of the heat of Jorgan's Flame, the furnace of hell.

Of course, there are some who sometimes crawl over the walls through fire, but they become a smokescreen in front of the soldiers' Magic Shotgun attacks.

But I couldn't rest assured. The current firepower can't last long. I gave another order to return fearfully after the floater bombed the orb.

“Sprinkle Lauren's poison in the middle of the South Field! ”

The creature that inhaled Lauren's poison is paralyzed and unable to move. This means that a large group of reel spiders will gather at the place where poison is sown. As soon as you drink the smoke, your body will become rigid and unable to move.

Focusing the artillery on this area maximizes the efficiency of the artillery.

By my command, the stiffeners unloaded a pile of Lauren's Poisonous Herb on the south field, immediately surrounded by yellow smoke.

“Take care of Gunnery Mana! ”

At the behest of the first line commanders, the guards unleashed their grenade launchers, armed with bows and spears. Loran's venom has left the Reel Spider horde at a critical juncture. Cold Weapons are enough to stop them, so you can save Mana from the Magic Ammo Launchers.

In the meantime, a group of reel spiders, returning to the outskirts, begin to attack the eastern and western walls. But not so many. Soon they were defeated by Nazir's defensive forces, by Ser Sanctis and by the paladins.

‘That should do it. ’

After a while, I raised my hand with the flag. By this time, there should be plenty of reel spiders around the poison. I was going to give eternal sleep to those who were intoxicated by poison.

“The target is around Lauren's poison! Magazine fire!”

Once again, the shotgun baptism disappears into Lauren's poison. I had no way of knowing what was wrong with Reel Spider to cover the yellow smoke, but I ignored the order and continued firing.

And by the time all of Lauren's poison was burnt to ashes, I could see Reel Spider's endless body lying around.

“How is it that so many reel spiders are so easy? ”

Katrina gets up and walks out of her room, her eyes wide open. He was afraid of the genocide of Fort Zabbol.

The group of reel spiders, which was 50,000 years old, was almost annihilated in no time. I couldn't help but be surprised by her.

I stand beside Katrina.

“What do you think? We've grown a lot, haven't we? ”

“Well, yeah. ”

Katrina shakes her head because it must be true.

If you want to fight this much magic, you have to mobilize boosters in the heavenly city of Kronos. However, Jabbol Fortress solved it with only 16,000 troops. Still, the quality was still far superior to the heavenly city of Kronos, but it was never something to be seen.

In particular, it was a matter of great concern in the heavenly city of Kronos. It means that Humans can now invade the heavenly city of Kronos without authorization.

‘It's getting roughly organized. ’

The battle has now erupted into a workshop. There are still some reel spiders rushing to their deaths, but they are quickly eliminated by a heavy attack by the defensive forces.

As the battle nears its end, I open the gates and march through the armored horse-drawn carriage army. The armored magic car was also the power I was expecting. It was not bad to take this opportunity to do a practical test.

I put the finishing touches on the armored cart and started looking into the damage.

“Bayan, report the damage. ”

“We're not sure yet that we're in combat, but reports say three were killed." ”

I looked at the sliding Bayan. There was not much reason for this battle to result in casualties. It was more one-sided than I expected.

“How did you get killed? ”

“The gas pump unit caught fire and two soldiers got caught in the fire. ”

I tasted beautifully.

That was the downside of Jorgan's fire. I don't know if I'll be able to turn it off once I'm in contact with it, but if I get the pump device wrong, it could lead to a big accident.

“What about the other one? ”

“Magic grenade launcher malfunction. ”

After all, it was an accident. Unfortunately, it was also common during combat.

“I see. After the battle, send the warriors to the rear." ”

“Yes.”

“And by the way, how much battle supplies did you spend? ”

“You'll need to look at it carefully, but it looks like about a quarter of what you have, and that Jorgan's fire and Lauren's poison are about a sixth of what you have. However, the arrows and other combat supplies have not been used much, so they should be nearly intact. ”

“Really?"

I sighed a little. There's still a lot of battle supplies left, but it was a significant expense anyway. The consumption of the shotgun was particularly alarming.

Even after catching only 50,000, this was not enough to deal with countless spiders to come forward.

“But the rear fortress is stockpiled with a lot of battle supplies, so we could use your help. ”

In Bayan's reply, I waved. Literally, it's enough to get supplies, but we can't continue the battle until we know the consumption is larger than expected.

I needed to rethink my supply and combat strategies in response to the changes.

Moreover, in just a few moments, a large group of reel spiders march on Jabbol Fortress. Spider Queen would have spotted us. Spider Queen must have seen the battle that took place here to share all reel Spider rituals.

“No. I give up Jabbol Fortress and retreat. ”

“Yes?”

I spoke to Bayan with my eyes wide open.

“We only have 16,000 troops now. Soon there won't be much need to gamble on reinforcements and combat supplies from the continent. ”

“But didn't we win? ”

“Bayan. Don't brag about winning once. I've only won 50,000. I don't know what the next battle will be. Zabbol Fortress is a recently pioneered area, so there are no civilian areas. This land doesn't have to be guarded, so there's no need to overdo it. So we're good to go. ”

“Yes, I understand. ”

Eventually, Bayan nods. Like I said, Fort Jabbol isn't that important right now. A large logging field was built around it, but it was not yet cleared for farming, so there were no civilian villages to protect.

It's okay to give up now as long as there is a guarantee that you will get it back later.

I tapped Bayan on the back.

“Then let's quickly retrieve the chaos piece and run. There's no time.”

“Yes.”

After the battle, I dispatched my troops to retrieve the Chaos piece I obtained today. That's roughly 800,000 units. It was able to make around 100 of the best essences.

After that, I abandoned Jabbol's fortress and retreated from the army. No matter how hard I try to abandon Jabbol Fortress, I can't give it to you. A guerrilla war based on underground shelters can do significant damage to the reel spider horde and have the effect of tying a large number of reel spiders to the Jabbol Fortress.

Because I do.

* * *

Three days later, as I expected, there was a massive attack by reel spiders on the Jabball Fortress. According to Nazir's report and reconnaissance report, it is close to 600,000. If we stay here, all our troops could have been fed on witchcraft or trapped in an underground shelter.

There was none.

The 600,000 magical hordes themselves were frightening, but the fact that they gathered in three days was even more frightening.

If you look at Reel Spider territory, that means there's a lot more of them than we anticipated. Using simple arithmetic, we calculate the proportion of their distribution to their area, which is between 2 and 2.5 million.

‘This must be the largest in human history. ’

In her past life, the information Katrine shared suggests that a group of reel spiders have appeared dozens of times in the world, ranging in size from tens of thousands to hundreds of thousands. But these guys are 10 times the size of their old crew.

The celestial city of Kronos was a island of Jores that didn't care, so it was very publicly numbered.

I stockpiled a large quantity of war supplies, as well as strengthening the defense of Crete Fortress, a new forward base.

And a lot of the stimuli were deployed to attack the drop. We had to reduce the population of the reel spiders somehow, and we needed to turn their gaze to the other side until we were ready for battle in Crete Fortress.

“Nazir's troops are doing well. ”

Commander's Office in the Fortress Command.

I have expressed my satisfaction with the situation of Jabbol Fortress, which has flown through Magic Communications. Right now, Nazir's troops are mounting an ambush on the underground refuge and are attacking Reel Spider who is staying in Jabbol Fortress.

We've been in a very intermittent battle, so we haven't been making any big progress, but tying 600,000 reel spiders to the Jabbol Fortress has helped us a lot. Thanks to you, Fort Crete was able to stabilize its power supply.

Six thousand of Sir Leonardo's venereal diseases and knights had already joined Stronghold in the north-eastern part of the island, and the Earl of Burto's 20,000 Bastian Islands were soon to arrive at Stronghold.

Although only the 5,000 Kara troops led by General Adan are a little late, they were expected to join soon as a fleet of sailors from Ramis arrived at Jores Island.

I reviewed the following documents: It was a report document containing the performance of the dependents.

‘You're making a fortune. ’

Over the past month, the stimulus has increased to 18. It is a pity that the production was so poor due to difficulty in crafting, but the performance of the stimulus has been truly stunning.

Approximately 15,000 reel spiders have been slaughtered since their retreat from Jabal Fortress. The amount of chaos pieces obtained here reached 230,000 units.

Thanks to this, we were able to produce an additional 30 of the finest essences and increase the firepower of the firearms we have.

Knock-knock.

I folded up the document and said with a knock on the door of the office.

“Who's there?”

“Sir, it's me. ”

It was Bayan's voice.

“Come in.”

Bayan opens the door and says,

“I have a visitor for you. ”

“Me? Who? ”

“She's a Blood woman. He said he knew your husband well. ”

My eyes were glowing. The only Bloods I knew were Evelyn.

“Yes. Where are you now? ”

“He's outside the North Gate. ”

“Then bring him quickly. ”

“Yes, I understand. ”

Soon after, Evelyn came to my office. As soon as I sent Bayan away, she grumbled.

“Back skin. Isn't this place a little heavily inspected? If a beautiful lady like me is here, you'd better open the door. Why is it so complicated to get in and out? ”

“It's a battle zone. ”

“Even so. It wasn't a battle with the humans, was it? ”

“That's what our army used to be. But if you didn't want to be examined, why didn't you sneak in? ”

“Armida and Katrina are here, how did you get in? They'll notice as soon as I break in. ”

I laughed bloody.

“Valkyries have good senses, though. So, what's going on this time? ”

“Your previous order of stimulus is complete. I've made three propositions for each of them according to the contract. ”

There were three types of support that I ordered from Evelyn: One was for air warfare, and the other was for shotgun and shotgun.

I was glad to hear that. Operatable suspension went from 18 to 27.

“Where is she now? ”

“I put it in your circle. ”

Aerial One was strictly off-limits, but Evelyn had access at all times. A lot of people who work there are from Evelyn's side.

“Blueprints?”

“I left a copy with Area One, and a copy with me right now. ”

“Give it to me."

“Money first. ”

Evelyn reaches out her hand, and I lift her pockets out of my arms. It was the money she had prepared for her arrival.

“Here's a 450,000 gold leaf. ”

The remuneration was half the price of the last shipment's float. Previously, the cost of producing three dependents was 300,000, but now three dependents totaled 450,000.

But it was natural. At that time, many new technologies, such as aluminum extraction technology, were included, but not this time.

Evelyn picks up her sub-space pocket and says,

“Thank you. You don't have to count, do you? ”

“Yes, I did, exactly. ”

I stared at the slimy Evelyn.

“Hey, what are you guys doing with that money anyway? ”

“Well, most of it's used to make floating weapons like you. We'll have to fight against the heavenly city of Kronos one day. ”

“Ah, to take the Valkyrie Queen's key? ”

“Yes. We must destroy it to fulfill our purpose. ”

“So you need a lot of essence, too? We need to make weapons, right? ”

Evelyn shakes her hand.

“No, not at all. ”

“Why?”

“My master stole a lot when he escaped Kronos. That's why they haven't activated the Divine Coming Machine yet. Honestly, if it weren't for our Lord, we'd be dead. ”

Somehow I felt like I was obstinately pursuing Savondia in the heavenly city of Kronos. If we get back the essence she stole, we'll be able to bring down the gods in no time.

“Tell your master to be careful. ”

“Don't worry. He's not easy to beat. ”

“Still.”

“Got it.”

Evelyn glances at me.

“By the way, you're having a hard time with Reel Spider. ”

“Yeah, a little bit. ”

“Can we help you? ”

“That's it. You guys take care. ”

I refused Evelyn's favor permanently. Kronos is now interested in this battle. If I get help from Evelyn and get caught by them, it's no big deal.

And it seemed that the comfort of Savannah was in direct line with the lives of all mankind, including me. I didn't have to put myself at risk.
