「So that’s why I’ in a battle without of the ordinary, so don’t worry」

『Vandalieu, I don’t think there’s a single parent ouldn’t worry after hearing such words from their child』

「 So you don’t want ht?」

『H your life, and if you try hard, you won’t die, Vandalieu But you have to make sure you cooperate with everyone else properly, okay?』

「I know, Mom」

The spirit of the Kobold Shaic sword spent seven days traveling to this Ghoul village to deliver the precious infore village and was now attacking other Ghoul villages and kidnapping adventurers while a military force

Vandalieu had been worried that the Ghouls wouldn’t believe this information, but they didn’t doubt him He was earnestly happy that they trusted him

「Three hundred Orcs, and a hundred each of Goblins and Kobolds What e do? Can we beat them?」

「Hey, does that mean that there are three hundred enemies?」

「That’s five hundred; you’re an idiot, aren’t you? You can’t even add numbers?」

「Goblins, Kobolds and Orcs, they’re all enemies of Ghouls, aren’t they?! Each of us just needs to kill five of them, then we’ll win!」

「Hey, are you including us in your numbers? We still have babies in our stomachs, you know?」

『Bilde-san is four nant, so I do believe that strenuous movements such as those of battle would be impossible for her』

「And their leader is a noble Orc No er than Mother and Vigaro」

「What?! Basdia, are you saying that Vigaro would lose to him?!」

「Of course! It’s obvious that I’d lose!」

「V-Vigaro, I’m sure you’d win」

「Face the facts, you morons!」

Well, while Vandalieu was feeling happy about being trusted, the Ghouls were seriously discussing what to do about the large village of Orcs This was only natural; their survival depended on the decisions they made here

The Ghouls were seated in a circle around a fire in an open space, holding a large ee would take

「Boy, could you please confirm the enemy’s numbers one more time?」

Since the Ghouls at thedown, Zadiris asked Vandalieu to repeat the Kobold Shaman’s information Incidentally, the Kobold Sha this information to Vandalieu

In order to gain revenge over the noble Orc who had killed it, it had used its experience as a Spiritualist even after its own death to co journey to this village nobody would knohether it was sie on its killer, or affected by Vandalieu’s【Death-Attribute Charm】skill from very far away

Either way, now that it had delivered the infor around Vandalieu, like it was dozing off

「The enemies are three hundred Orcs, a hundred Goblins, a hundred Kobolds and a few dozen tamed beast-type monsters There are about six hundred enemies in total The chief is a noble Orc and he has three sonsThere are also quite a few Orc Generals, Orc Knights and Orc Mages The Goblins are Soldiers, Chiefs, Knights and Mages But there are no Generals or Kings Also, the enees, captured the females and used them as mothers for their children, and they’ve recently started attacking parties of adventurers as well」

The Ghouls grimaced at the news of the enemy’s forces, their extreme actions and also the fact that h they belonged to other villages

Both the norher race of noble Orcs were races that only had males That hy they used the females of other races to breed In most cases, they used the females of Goblins and Kobolds, and they also soes However, possibly because they were a race created by the De and his servants to harm humans, they preferred female humans the most

Though Ghouls were treated as monsters by humans, their females were exactly like human females other than the color of their skin and eyes Since their roots could be traced back to the Goddess Vida, from the monsters’ point of view, they were just like humans

Ghouls found it difficult to get pregnant unless Vandalieu cast his spells on them, and only one in five of their children were born safely However, for some reason, if the father was an Orc, there were no problems

Though that wasn’t a good thing at all

(Is this because Orc breeding is parthenogenesis that looks like nor cell, if the Orc sperenes, then that would explain why the offspring never belongs to the enes exist in this world Well, either way, none of this helps to solve the Ghouls’ declining birth rates)

Vandalieu was contehts, but the Ghouls had calan to discuss what to do oncehis words

There were four very different opinions expressed at the

「Hey, the Orcs are targeting hu to do with us, do they? In that case, we just have to sit here and do nothing」

The opinion that the Ghouls should simply watch what the Orcs decide to do

They felt sorry for the female Ghouls that had already been captured and the Ghoul villages that would be attacked in the future, but since they couldn’t defeat the Orcs in battle, fighting theerous

Well, Zadiris’s village had no obligation to risk thees It was cold, but it wasto help others

However, this would be a poorfor Zadiris to die The reason for this was obvious – he was planning to attack this village once Zadiris died

Groups of enerally ruled as dictatorshi+ps, where the ruler decided everything Since the ruler of these Orcs had been observing this village, there was no chance that they could avoid his attention

Conflicts between huh peace treaties, but monsters didn’t possess such concepts

And even if the noble Orc soe alone, ould come next? If the Orcs failed their attack on the hue numbers They would hunt down the reroup of Orcs would ever forain

The nation of Mirg was the country at the front of the Orgaudom Its army was likely powerful, and it would surely have many adventurers The chance that the noble Orc’s plan would fail was close to 100

「How about running ahile the Orcs aretheir noise?I suppose not」

There was a Ghoul suggesting this, but he rejected his own idea

Of course, this was because it was unrealistic for a hundred Ghouls to be able to run away The forest of this Devil’s Nest was quite spacious, but it would be difficult for a hundred Ghouls, including pregnant women, to run away unnoticed by the Orcs

It was possible to escape to another Devil’s Nest or simply outside of this Devil’s Nest, but these Ghouls had lived in this Devil’s Nest generation after generation and were unfaraphy outside

Darcia and Saeable about it, but they only knew that escaping to a Devil’s Nest on the Mirg-side would take over ten days, and even if theydiscovered by huh

And nobody kneas around the e Just in case, Vandalieu had sent out small Undead such as insects and se today, but it would take the

「Then are we going to surrender to the Orcs? Definitely not; we’re better off dead than doing so like that」

As Bilde said, the option of surrendering to the Orcs and falling under their control was out of the question

The men would be used as slaves and soldiers like the Goblins and Kobolds, used to fight against the humans until they all perished The women would become mothers for the Orcs

That would be the worst possible outcome

「Let’s fight Let’s reach out to the other Ghoul villages as well」

In the end, Basdia’s vieas the most realistic They had to reduce the difference in numbers as much as possible, and then attack before they were attacked

Vandalieu knew that they would be busy for the next little while

「Well then, before that, there’s so I need to say」

Vigaro, the next chief, spoke in a serious tone, staring at Vandalieu

「Vandalieu, you should leave this village as soon as possible」

「No Anyway, I have a suggestion –」

「Wait, wait! Don’t change the subject!」

As Vandalieu iaro’s request for hiaro became flustered for some reason

「At this rate, you’ll end up fighting the Orcs with us, you know?! Are you alright with that?!」

「That’s fine with estion is –」

「That’s not fine at all! Don’t be so stubborn –」

「I won’t leave」

「Stop interrupting me!」

Vigaro had been doing nothing but interrupting people up until now, and noas telling Vandalieu not to interrupt hi,「That’s fine with me」a bad idea? He supposed that it sounded self-important to be safe, should he have replied,「I do not mind」?

Vandalieu pondered whether it was his choice of words that was the proble

「This is a fight between us Ghouls and the to do with you!」

Vandalieu had stayed in this village for a long time, but he was not a Ghoul And he had said that he would one day leave this village and cross the dom

That hy he shouldn’t tie his fate to that of the Ghouls He was only a two-year-old child He shouldn’t get involved in a battle whose outcome was so uncertain

「It does have so to do with me; you are all my cogestion now?」

However, this two-year-old boy did things at his own pace

He said these ens of ee the subject once more

「What can you even do in the first place?!」

Resisting the urge to s told that the Ghouls were faaro shouted this question at him Indeed, if one were to divide the people of this world into the strong and the weak, Vandalieu would fall into the weak side

His Mana pool vastly exceeded as north exceeded that of a nore of two On top of that, he was able to use Death-Attribute Magic that nobody in this world knew about

However, that was all He had no understanding of roup battle tactics and strategy was all self-taught There was no way that he would be a good tactician

His vast Mana pool was nothing more than simple Mana He couldn’t use it to directly kill monsters, and no matter how much Mana he had, he would die if his Vitality dropped to 0

The only ways Vandalieu could use his Mana was through Death-Attribute Magic and No-Attribute Magic Death-Attribute Magic was limited in its options for direct attacks, and he had only just recently learned No-Attribute Magic and he was still inept with it

If the eneic Absorption Barrier】to render them useless, but the enees, and as a race, they relied on their physical strength to charge at their enemies with their weapons

Vandalieu himself had been aware of all of this ever since Darcia had been killed However, he was also aware that there was any nus that he was able to do

「First,here would contribute three Rotten Beasts, a Phantom Bird and a Skeleton Soldier as well as Sam, Saria and Rita」

「Muh?!」

Sam and the others were all Vandalieu’s servants Of course, if Vandalieu were to participate in the battle against the Orcs, they would participate too Since they were all at least Rank 3, the th that they added wasn’t small by any means

「And I think when you reach out to the other Ghoul villages, having me around will be convenient」

It was already known that Ghouls were affected by the【Death-Attribute Charm】skill, so Vandalieu pointed out that this would be useful Knowing that he was right, Vigaro could only let out a groan

「You should leave it at that, Vigaro Everyone knows that you were thinking of what is best for the boy when you spoke」

「Yeah And Van is faoes for the others of our race, right?」

「Yeah, yeah! Vigaro, don’t push yourself!」

「That’s right, you can’t say that he has nothing to do with it, even if you don’t mean it!」

Vigaro was on his own

「Y-you Ah, I don’t care any to make sure you’re so heavily involved that nobody will ever say that it has nothing to do you with you again!」

「It seeiven his authorization, boy So what is your suggestion?」

Finally able to talk, Vandalieu gave a sigh of relief and estion

「It’s nothing special, but I was thinking of distributing the equip to use in the near future to everyone」

But judging fro special

In this world, Magic Iterades

From the bottom, they are lower-class (this is a poor way to say it, so these have also recently started to be called beginner-class), endary-class and mythical-class

TLN: I’ht have to do with the fact that 下級/kakyuu (lower class) can also translate to “junior”

Lower-class ites like swords that aren’t as susceptible to rust as normal swords, leather ar an alaras stoves of Earth, hts and the like; many of them are plain, everyday iteic Items

The real Magic-Item-like items start at theto this class Upper-class itenificantly more valuable and difficult to obtain, and special-class items are few and far between, treated as national treasures

Items called Artifacts such as sacred swords that only chosen heroes can wield belong to the legendary-class, while the cheat-like items of myths are in the mythical-class

The classification of Magic Iteth of the ic they contain, but also the effort and materials needed to create theical stoves were once consideredthem was feasible

「Oka~ay, line up, line up」

The Magic Ite the Ghouls were of lower and middle class

When Vandalieu had first obtained the Magic Itehly how much Mana was stored inside theic【Appraisal】spell, he had no knowledge tothe what kind of items they were

However, he thought that the Ghouls needed to be stronger for a difficult ave them out

Of course, for free

This careat cost to Vandalieu, but he had si them with no way to sell them for money anyway, and he had sieon or found them inside treasure chests, he felt no attachled to obtain theave them away

「This has a low-level agility enchantment, and this is a low-level stamina recovery accessory Both are little ic Items」

「Then please give those to Guda-san and Gibli-san」

Vandalieu had Zadiris use【Appraisal】, and then distributed the Magic Itee human town, he would be able to sell thenificant but not exorbitant either Even so, they were precious itee in the Devil’s Nest, so everyone accepted them

(The happy feeling of giving presents to people is a fresh experience for me)

On Earth, Vandalieu had no friends or decent fa his first opportunity to give presents to someone in Lambda, Vandalieu felt very happy

「I’ with this!」

「I’ll give you a belly full of Orc meat to repay you for this bracelet」

Incidentally, Orcmethods, unlike Goblin and Kobold meat Its taste was si forward to it

「Give the special battleaxe that I got froaro And the kite shi+eld is for Basdia」
