Chapter 72 (2/2)
Once hit by the solem scattered and its broken pieces rained down on the surrounding golee even further
“The Magic Mobile Armour is rejected due to the aspect of its mana consumption, but I will simply destroy those on the route as efficiently as possible since they aren’t as strong as a dragon!” (Ar)
“Decrease their nu a too powerful spell” (Burkhart)
“Got it” (Wendelin)
“Understood” (Katharina)
Katharina and olems in turns with small tornado spells upon Burkhart-san’s instruction
Once hit, the goleoles
“Is it fine to fire this spell continuously?”
“There are no monsters with other attributes This much is plenty Rather, preserve your mana to the utantic Rock Golem, you will die I’h” (Burkhart)
If I can’t fly I will end up becoood if I don’t have any antic Rock Golem either
“I will leave the stopping of the Gigantic Rock Golem to you, Luise-jou-chan But, since there’s the possibility of it ending in failure, the other stor members will preserve their mana for that as well” (Burkhart)
In this tie in
Transporting Luise to the Gigantic Rock Golee artificial personality crystal in the body of the Gigantic Rock Gole all her power
If she succeeds, all other gole
That means there’s no necessity to forcibly destroy them ahead of time
“Luise-san, you are in perfect form” (Katharina)
Ahead of her sight Katharina witnessed Luise’s figure ole up froe
Saround once they lost their heads
Luise was the best in regards of not using mana pointlessly
“Also…”
“I realized it just now! If my sword is a treasured orichalcule chip!” (Erwin)
Erho is in high tension because of Karla being there, cut one wolf-shaped goleht with the round labyrinth
Certainly, if it’s an orichalcuolems like tofu
———————————————————– End of Part 2 ————————————————————–
“Don’t say so absurd! Such a sharp sword How can you possess so like that if you aren’t a rich person or a first-class adventurer!?”
“I do have one though” (Erwin)
“For real!?” (Moritz)
“How nice…” (Thomas)
Once Erw begins to fight with an actual orichalcum sword, Moritz showed an expression of surprise and Thomas one of jealousy
“Erwin, go in front since Karla will assist you”
“Really?” (Erwin)
“She will be sending your encouragements as if she can’t see anyone but you, Erwin”
“I will go ahead!” (Erwin)
“Erwin isthe attention of Karla-sama”
“Ahahaha! Diee! You solems!” (Erwin)
“(Moritz, you are nasty…)”
Although he dashed out in front constantly due to Karla’s case being used as pretext by Moritz, Thomas and the others, Erw continued to peerlessly hold the front line by himself thanks to his own skills and the performance of the orichalcum sword
“I wonder if Karla-san is watching?” (Erwin)
“It’s fine She has been paying attention properly” (Moritz)
“I will do my best!” (Erwin)
However, since it’s not like Moritz hates Erw either, it seeht to a certain extent
“Erw, co for you” (Moritz)
“Yess!” (Erwin)
Erw returns to the rear in a hurry Cooes to the location of Karla who is treating the injured together with Elise
“Are you alright, Erwin-san?” (Karla)
“Yes! I have plenty of leeway!” (Erwin)
While receiving a cup of water and a towel fro a rest happily
“Moritz, you are skilled in using Erw…”
Once I look for Ina’s whereabouts next, she was showcasing her dear big move
“Spear!” (Ina)
It’s a spearmanshi+p, which I was shown by Roderich at the time of his fruitless effort, where I don’t knohether it’s powerful or not (T/N: Refers to the ti the technique in front of the Brandt’s mansion, I think)
I didn’t knohen Ina learned it, but this seems to be more useful than I expected
“This skill is a technique used against ine it, but…” (Ina)
A great nuole
“I wonder where Wilma is?” (Wendelin)
Once I search for Wil one of the most powerful iron boe talked about before
As it seems that all of it is made out of iron, even the arrows, the released arrows penetrated several golems at once and destroyed them
“Being able to draw such bow frequently…” (Wendelin)
I was once again speechless due to her superhuth
Even if I tried to draw that iron bow, it shouldn’t move an inch
『Around three years ago it was placed as decoration at my favourite weapon shop』 (Wilma)
Given that it was used as decoration, the owner apparently didn’t think of selling it as he used it as replacenboard
『I was told that there’s no way for me to pull it and that he would sell it once I’m able to do so』 (Wilma)
Since she was told that it will be for free if she was able to draw it, she apparently obtained it after drawing it in front of the owner’s eyes
“Though I hesitate if it’s between huolems” (Wilma)
However, there’s a weakness to it as well
Because the arrows areher stock right away
“War costs money” (Wilma)
While la over the truth of this world, Wilma switches her weapon to her battleaxe and pulverises a lotit around than with bow and arrows
As expected, it’s probably a feeling of that being Wilma, huh?
“Wendelin-san, any time now” (Katharina)
“Yea” (Wendelin)
Ti to the nu the limit
I, as told so by Katharina, co vast amounts of mana with the four people, except Luise, after the diversion unit withdrew just a bit
“That’s coic?”
“Spin Tornado!”
“Everyone is conificent” (KAtharina)
“Tetragon Tornado?” (Wendelin)
“That’s it! Wendelin-san, please don’t use a question there!” (Katharina)
Thanks to the cooleainst each other by the tornado spell They drop down to the ground after having turned into simple rocks
There was also a large a
“Pick them up~~~~!” (Wendelin)
Upon my order froins all at once to search the reolems
“Put priority on ic cores! Ores after that!” (Wendelin)
At any rate, there isn’t much time
It’s certain that reinforceer than now, from other places
“Wend! I have discovered a golem corps withthis way!” (Luise)
“All hands, retreat outside the boundary!” (Wendelin)
Since the gole forward one after the other, were discovered by Luise with her good eyes, I give the order for the whole arht away
Like this the first day of co experience in actual combat has safely passed with zero casualties
“The nuic cores is?” (Wendelin)
“2056 cores”
“Such an amount, eh…?” (Wendelin)
The subjugation itself wasn’t the goal, but once I hear today’s results, it confirms the fact that it will be difficult to capture this area with a frontal attack by military forces after all
There’s also the reason that our arole to it since the restoration ability lies above that
Besides, it’s also true that ic
“What will you do with the ic cores?” (Erwin)
“I will use theems I used up in the recent wide-area stun” (Wendelin)
“I see” (Erwin)
Erw agrees with my reply
The replenishems, which I possessed, hadn’t finished yet Since those were low-grade ic cores anyway, there wasn’t that many other uses for them either
“However, a device to produce enius”
“Thanks to that genius we have to constantly fight with all our power though”
Although they are low-quality, he created a ic core production that has a creation process where even taking the first steps in understanding it are impossible nowadays
If possible, it’s soed
“Only if it’s possible to do so” (Luise)
“That’s true, isn’t it” (Wendelin)
As Luise says, it’s a viewpoint that can’t be applied if we fail due to being too greedy
The first priority should be the destruction of the Gigantic Rock Golem
“So, until e continue the co?”
“Until our friends arrives” (Wendelin)
“Haa?”
The strategy is for us five antic Rock Goleantic Rock Golem itself isn’t overly powerful
Since it’sus five preserves a certain extent of mana
“The probleantic Rock Golem, will do” (Wendelin)
Since it’s realistically iantic Rock Gole only the bare minimum of obstacles
“Since ill be flying, it will be fine if we take on only the airborne gole around next to the Gigantic Rock Golem, will become a hindrance for the destruction That means it will be necessary to cause a diversion” (Wendelin)
“With just the Earl Baumeister feudal army?”
“Since that will be completely insufficient, I have asked for other reinforceation request as adventurer as well” (Wendelin)
“Those are, possibly…”
Several days later the sky above Herthania Valley was covered by largethere
Luise is apparently speechless due to that spectacle
“Those are the large ht?” (Luise)
“That’s right The numbers can’t be transported if it’s not those” (Wendelin)
“It will cost quite a bit…” (Luise)
Once we liberate the Herthania Valley, they will demand various concessions anyway
Since that’s the case, it’s fine for us to receive assistance frodom as much as possible
“The one ill pay the money is e either” (Wendelin)
“I understand well the reason for the Margave Browig household to cause a disturbance in the rear…”
Roderich do by being in charge of the expenses here The participating coh their opponents are golems
As a ar, he iic airshi+ps
“We ca officer, Alois von Willi Achilles” (Alois)
Alois-san, who led 3000 soldiers, was a person who looks like a diligent military bureaucrat type and appears to be around 40 years old
As family head of an appointed Viscount household, he has a relationshi+p of being a relative of the Earl Ar household
“It’s quite the flashy operation By the way…” (Alois)
“Ah, yes I have prepared them” (Wendelin)
“As expected” (Alois)
As Viscount Achilles led the troops in a hurry, they haven’t prepared overly s like food and water
Since there’s no port either, the soldiers are co down on rope ladders one at a tiic airshi+ps properly either
“You truly hurried co here” (Wendelin)
“I heard that our task is to act as diversion and that the goods will be prepared at the actual site Since that’s the case, let’s finish the liberation in a hurry” (Alois)
“Why?” (Wendelin)
“Although this Herthania Valley has been officially transferred to Earl Baumeister in the arbitration draft, parties, who consider unnecessary things once ti to know of our movements, will increase” (Alois)
Viscount Achilles, who is a noble hi like the sincerity of the Margrave Browig household
He stated that it’s essential to turn it into an established fact after finishi+ng it as fast as possible
“That’s also true Ah, right” (Wendelin)
I hand over the prepared large aoods to Viscount Achilles
Yesterday I oods and placed them in there
“An aroods If you prepare those, unexpectedly absurd things become possible” (Alois)
The 3000 soldiers, who diseic airshi+ps via rope ladders,in their respective units right away
It’s for the sake of starting to construct an encampment and prepare the meals quickly
“If people enter this boundary, the golems will start up but they won’t attack once you leave I received such information previously, but it’s a mysterious system We will explore thein a period of several days” (Alois)
The 3000 soldiers of the kingdo the boundary while repeatedly hunting and luring the rock goleround
“Don’t chase too far Don’t forget to leave outside before their numbers increase” (Alois)
Differing fro household, Viscount Achilles calives directions to the troops
Although there were already casualties as well, Viscount Achilles says that this e of his assumptions
“If one dislikes dying, they shouldn’t become soldiers or adventurers” (Alois)
Viscount Achilles perfor of the diversion for the crucial moment indifferently
Their round at the time we rush in
“So, what about the reinforcements of our allies?”
“They will all be present until today or tomorrow”
As that h, I requested reinforcements from the nobles close-by in addition
“Earl Baumeister-dono, that helps…”
Thethe territory of the Herthania Valley, have suffered losses fro household in the recent dispute
They had the darave Breithilde household, but if the Browig household doesn’t pay after concluding the arbitration draft, their debts would remain as is
Since their financial standing is severe, they were added to the diversion task after sending their troops
Thatfor the reward handed out by the Earl Baumeister household
“That’s because we really don’t have not enough manpower…” (Wendelin)
“It’s owed to you developing as territorial noble”
With the arrival of over 50 noble households and the royal ar of the diversionary tactics in Herthania Valley after splitting the troops into ten army corps
Luring out the gole the boundary line, they escape outside after people are hit
Once the goleain and carry out their provocations
While exploring for a ole how to destroy theood efficiency
After a period of a week, merchants, who sell stuff like food and entertain up
The Herthania Valley experienced a kind of special procurement for the liberation operation
“Well then, won’t we begin the stor soon?”
After a last , the operation starts
———————————————————– End of Part 3 ————————————————————–
The round while entering and leaving the boundary at 10 points in the vicinity of Herthania Valley We will begin the onvasion with 5 people froantic Rock Golem is the shortest once their caution is attracted to the maximum
While destroying only the least aoleantic Rock Goleo
“Burkhart-san, this is the closest infiltration point, right?” (Wendelin)
“Earl-saet is right down in the middle of Herthania Valley” (Burkhart)
To be precise, it’s right in the h Herthania Valley’s centre
The Gigantic Rock Goleathers mana
Surpassing a size of 100 meters, it has 8 heads at the front and 8 tails in the rear
Storing a huge artificial personality crystal, which can olems at the same time, and a device, which is able to produce atlow-quality ones, per day, in its body, it destroys all enemies which invade Herthania Valley
According to the genius ic Civilization, Earl Ischrubak, it is a defence system that seems to be alive
“It has 8 heads and tails?”
Although it won’tits tails and firing rock bullets, which aren’t breath attacks, from its heads
Given that it’s basically oleht before, but that didn’t htly at all since since it appears that it will recover over time
“It resembles 『Ya) (T/N: Left it like that because of the reference following below Basically it would be “Eight-headed large dragon”)
It is similar to 『Yamata no Orochi』 which appears in the japanese ons, which have 8 heads, left behind in this world as well (T/N: Yaht-Forked Serpent in English, is a legendary 8-headed and 8-tailed japanese dragon that was slain by the shi+nto storm-God Susanoo)
The one doushi+ knows about is the one taught in the basic classrooo to a school related to adventurers
Though it was uncertain whether it really exists
“I wondered about it since before, but if it has 8 heads, isn’t it a 『Nana mata no Ooki Ryuu』?” (Luise) (T/N: Left it like that for difference to what Ar said above It translates to “Seven-branched/-headed large dragon” and is probably a pun towards that a dragon has already one head, otherwise it wouldn’t be a dragon, and thus the other 7 are its branches… though I’m not sure)
“Luise-san, it won’t help even if you complain about such an old folklore, will it? Rather than that, it’s soon time, isn’t it?” (Katharina)
Katharina
“It’s just as Katharina has said”
While ere on standby with five people on a ridge of the rocky mountains which is located outside the boundary, the dom army and Earl Bauolem forces below
“Oryaaa~~~!” (Erwin)
“Erw is putting fighting spirit into it Though his reason for it is wrong…” (Luise)
Luise didn’t go easy on Erho is wielding his treasured orichalcu at the front
Even Erw should have gone to the front with his sword that doesn’t lose its sharpness in order to lower the dae to our allies as his prime objective
“That reason and his feelings of trying to show Karla-san his good side are fighting each other, aren’t they?” (Katharina)
“Katharina, you have no mercy either…” (Wendelin)
“All uess Hey, ill start soon” (Burkhart)
An estiainst the enemy invasion at more than 10 places
They will be annihilated if these are all of the opponents, but there’s no need to go that far
We are aiht and since they have pulled the goleolems won’t become a hindrance to the operation
However, the 20000 airborne golems didn’t move overly much
It see from the sky
“20000, huh…?”
“Usually they are scattered in Herthania Valley We will destroy the Gigantic Rock Goleather Got that?” (Burkhart)
There’s no need to destroy all of them
They will return to being rocks if we destroy the Gigantic Rock Golem anyway The operation would fail if we spent thatall of them))
Burkhart-san emphasizes it especially for doushi+
“Please don’t stop on that occasion and become peerless or such, doushi+” (Burkhart)
“Tentatively I’)
In such a situation, he respects the opinion of the experienced Burkhart-san after all
Even doushi+ obediently abides to the view of Burkhart-san who is his senior
“It’s just for caution’s sake The same applies to the others as well” (Burkhart)
“Roger!” (Wendelin)
“Leave it to me” (Luise)
“I’ood use” (Katharina)
“Well, then let’s go!” (Burkhart)
Upon Burkhart-san’s signal, five people plunge into Herthania Valley with 『high-speed flight』
The formation is: Katharina and me as two-top, behind us are Luise and Burkhart-san and doushi+ acted as rear guard for the sake of destroying the gole after us
“Burkhart-dono, there are no ene)
“It would be a failure if they chased us at the current point in time…” (Burkhart)
Since we are still in the proxiolems, which are in the sky, practically weren’table to cope with us
As there were several of them in front, we first threw tornadoes in the shape of spears ic at them
The hit wyvren golem and several others, which were in its vicinity, were sround
“You have to conserve your mana, Katharina”
Although we fory on the basis of the data in the old book, it was a basic tactic to preserve ht happen
“That’s only natural My mana capacity is lower than yours, Wendelin-san” (Katharina)
Next Katharina uses ht at the front
“Tornado Break!” (Katharina)
Appropriate to her name 『Storolems at the front and blows them up into the upper sky
The goleed, destroyed and fell to the ground
“A as well” (Luise)
“Luise, you have to preserve your mana” (Wendelin)
“That’s right, isn’t it…” (Luise)
Since she can’t use ein with, Luise’s role is to directly inflict daantic Rock Golem with a powerful attack
Preserving her mana to the limit until our arrival, she will deliver the final blow to the Gigantic Rock Golem
This is Luise’s task this time
『I will release my secret technique with the power of my entire body』 (Luise)
『It looks like I can anticipate so (There’s one after all, a secret technique?』 (Wendelin)
『Wend, look forward to it very much』 (Luise)
The Luise before our sortie was as usual
“There are less golems than I expected…” (Burkhart)
Around 10 , Burkhart-san tilted his head to the side
According to the old book, the airborne gole more after this much time had passed
However, with us having five tiolems, the enemy didn’t appear in front of us overly much
“Maybe…”
“Maybe what?”
“Artificial personality-san ht be unexpectedly busy with its job”
Once we continue flying for 10 et point
The huge crevice running through Herthania Valley
The Gigantic Rock Golem is enshrined within, but in the sky above itfor us
“Tsk! Did it guess our target?” (Burkhart)
“If there are this many of them, on’t be able to enter the crevice” (Wendelin)
Given that the Gigantic Rock Goleolems first
The goleathered in the sky with a density that covered the sky’s blue allowing one to guess that the olems was here
“Earl-sama, it’s still within expectation Go!” (Burkhart)
“Roger!” (Wendelin)
Even though the golerasp them in both hands
While focussing an to prepare an advanced level spell at maximum
“(Basically it’s refreshi+ng to cast such ic)” (Wendelin)
After accu ((mana)) for about a minute, the spell is invoked in front of my two hands
As it took ainst Great Grande back then, I have apparently grown quite a bit as well
“Burst Tornado!” (Wendelin)
Since I don’t need to chant, I voice it out as soof the spell
The huge tornado, which was generated in the olems at a distance, raised a violent howl as it sed up thousands of golems
Getting destroyed by crushi+ng into fellow gole the goles, into it once the tornado dies down after a short while
“Wendelin-san, you are strong at that kind of ic” (Katharina)
“Yes, I a” (Wendelin)
Since the opponents are gole like intensity as with the previous wide-range Area Stun
“It looks like ere recognised as threat to be purged” (Katharina)
Since around 40 were destroyed in one go, the golein to move in order to eliminate us
I was able to confirm that around half o
