Isekai Tensei no Boukensha - 282 Chapter 19-7 Fire and Whirlwind

“It’s more than I expected… I hate to count it.”

“At least not in tens of thousands.” I think more than 100,000 is light. ”

Too many to know the exact number, but not at least 34,000. From the reports that tens of thousands of Imperial troops are marching, I thought it would be about 50,000 to 60,000 at most, but it might be a little harder if it was more than twice that… I’d wipe it all out.

Well, even if the number of enemies is higher than expected, you’ll be fine if you work harder than planned.

“That’s right. After all, it looks like they haven’t noticed us yet, and even if they do more than expected, they won’t change what they’re doing…!”

While saying that, I repeatedly fired the [Fireball]. I was surprised at the sheer number, but I didn’t change what I was going to do, I was just firing my magic at the herd. With this much, there was no need to aim for anything in particular. Thanks to the intensive march, I was able to deal damage to several or even a dozen magic shots.

”The fire speed is really slow… if that’s the case, I’ll bring you some oil”

There are certain things, but I don’t have enough to use on that herd of stones.

Even though I said that, my grandfather and I kept casting our magic. It was enough to get started, but I think we’ve already scraped nearly a thousand.

”With such a large number of stones, it would be inefficient just to emit magic from the sky… I wonder if people could escape like this.”

“Well then, let’s get closer and use stronger magic.” Besides, I’ll aim as far behind the herd as I can. ”

Well then, I’ll just keep going like this.

Splitting up in front of and behind the herd, I decided to defeat the zombies with more powerful magic, and my grandfather and I approached the herd at once from the sky, and the herd was destroyed.

After all, Firestorm is more efficient than Fireball.

On average, four to five fireballs are burned in a single shot, while at least twenty firestorms are defeated in densely packed locations. However, as time passes, the zombies are trying to escape, so it seems that there are people who give orders to the zombies, like in Kukri Village. Well, those with a dragon zombie-like presence in the boulder are not caught in “Exploration”… but some might be able to erase the signs like Namitaro, and some might be stronger than ordinary zombies. Moreover, even if you use “appraisal”, the individual that said it has the status of a characterization and does not know its identity, and it is more eerie than saying that it is a zombie. Well, like any other zombie, it’s magically easy to defeat, so it’s not a threat… but sometimes they try to throw weapons at it, so it seems more intelligent than a zombie.

”I think I can destroy you like this… after all, I was (…) (…)!”

When the attack was about to become a simple operation, four-armed monsters jumped at the burning zombies.

Currently, they were attacking from a height of about 10 meters from the ground, and the zombie attack (except for the occasional throw) could not be reached at this position, but it seems that the four-armed monster could reach at this height.

However, I had originally expected that the four-armed monster would involve the Empire, so I thought it was highly likely that it would be in this herd as well. Therefore, from the start of the attack, I used “Exploration” to pay attention to the presence of zombies moving at a speed that I didn’t think was possible. Therefore, the monster attack that flew over moved a few meters up and dodged, hitting the [Fire Blit] on the falling back and knocking it down.

“Ah! Grandpa… looks like he’s okay.”

I didn’t have to worry about surprise in “Exploration”, but I realized that my grandfather would be okay and turned around… but at the same time as I turned around, he dodged the attack in the air and knocked down the monster with his beloved cane. Besides, I could afford to use my magic to stop the fallen monster.

“No, don’t wave, just look in front of me…”

Grandpa noticed that I was looking at him, and he could wave his hand, but… the stone thrown by the zombie passed beside his face, with a rather impatient expression on his face.

That’s what I’m afraid of, but even if a monster comes into the fight, it won’t lose my and Grandpa’s superiority. All you have to do is watch out for new monsters flying up and throwing from them.

“However, because of the monster, the speed of the zombies’ annihilation has slowed down… I wonder if this place is going to release a big shot… Grandpa!”

What’s the matter, Temma?

To use that big magic, I stepped back to my grandfather and proposed a plan.

“The filth is poison!”

Grandpa began to fly around with a pleasant blast of fire magic. At the same time, the wood and oil in the magic bag were scattered, so many zombies were immediately consumed by the fire.

“Grandpa, it’s time to do it!” Come back! ”

“Oh! I’m begging you!”

On my signal, Grandpa quickly stepped back. Seeing my grandfather fall back, I spawned the wind magic tornado at the center of a burning herd of zombies.

The [Fire Tornado] is as powerful as ever.

The magic that dealt the zombie herd a heavy blow in the battle in Kukri Village once again began to rage against the zombies.

Unlike in the past, I can do this now.

“Oh! Can you move it?”

Since the situation is different from the past, and the technology and magic are increasing, it is not entirely possible to move the “fire whirlwind”. As a result,

”In the zombie’s motion, you can’t escape and are swallowed up”

The [Fire Whirlwind] approached faster than the zombie’s escape legs, sucking in the zombie and rolling it up.

“Grandpa, watch out for falling things.”

“Hmm, I know.” Rather than that, what should we do with zombies that are alive even if they’re sucked in, or zombies that are out of range? ”

I haven’t been able to confirm, but perhaps there was a miraculous chance that some of the zombies caught in the [Fire Whirlwind] would die? It is also possible that there is an individual. Besides, because of the size of the herd, there are still many zombies out of the range of the “fire whirlwind”.

“The one who was out of range was reduced from a distance by Grandpa.” You don’t have to think about stabbing it, so you can stop it while watching out for the ‘fire whirlwind’. Maybe we should let the golem deal with the stranded one and the one who survived the sucking. ”

However, if a block of soil or stone like a golem is sucked in and rolled up into the sky, it is dangerous. Therefore, it must be activated at a distance that does not get caught by the “fire whirlwind”. However, thanks to the sucking zombies, the rough but safe distance can be known, and it will be okay if the order is given to dispose of the zombies at a position different from the course direction of the “fire whirlwind”.

”Um, that’s probably the most efficient… even if you make a mistake, don’t let it go my way”

When he said that, Grandpa was lucky to be out of the range of the [Fire Whirlwind] and flew towards the zombie who was trying to escape, casting magic from behind. The half-killed zombies have been dealt with by further golems.

“I wish I could increase the speed a little, but for now, this seems to be the limit.” My grandfather seems to be complaining too, so speed is a challenge for the future. ”

Ideally, I would like the speed at which the horse can run, but the current speed is about the speed of a person. It’s possible to speed up a bit… but if you try to speed up a little bit more, the control will be disrupted. In fact, when I tried to see how fast I could increase my speed, the “fire whirlwind” almost headed towards my grandfather, and I was in a hurry. Well, Grandpa would have been more impatient…..

“Still, did you inhale 10,000 to 20,000?” I’m telling you that the zombie’s legs are late and saved… but what’s running away is a four-armed monster, or more powerful than a swallowed zombie. ”

Although some individuals may be strong even if their legs are slow, it seems that individuals who move quickly tend to be stronger than normal zombies, so it is highly likely that only the weak ones will be able to defeat them. However, the original purpose is to reduce the number of herds, and even if it is strong, the locale is a zombie, so if there is no one outside the standard, one-to-one members of the guard will be able to deal with it.

When the [Fire Whirlwind] was advancing while thinking about such things, it seemed that the power was decreasing slightly compared to the first time. And when the inhaled zombies exceeded 30,000 and reached 40,000, the power rapidly dropped, and finally disappeared naturally.

“What’s the matter, Temma!” Something’s wrong! ”

“No, it just disappeared naturally because of something, so it’s not like there was a problem.”

Although “Fire Whirlwind” is a large and powerful magic, it uses natural phenomena in a large part of the world, so changes in terrain and atmospheric pressure may cause it to disappear. Well, I only used this magic a few times, including in Kukuri Village, so I don’t know if it really is, but if it’s gone, I can use it again without any problem.

That’s why Grandpa, I’m going to use [Fire Whirlwind] again, thank you for your help.

“I don’t have as much magic power as Temma, and I was using magic while flying around… well, I think I’ll crush a third of the herd in the next round, so I’ll do my best a little bit more.”

“That’s why, let’s go!” “And Grandpa rushed to a fleeing swarm of zombies.

I’ll send out an extra golem to clean it… I’ll go too!

With an extra golem, I was a little late for my grandfather and headed for the herd to cast fire magic. There was less wood and oil, but the two of them burned carefully, so the fire became more intense than the first time.

“Grandpa, it’s time to do it.”

”Um… this time it seems more dangerous, so just in case, let’s step back a little bit more”

Confirming that Grandpa had lowered enough, he cast the [Tornado] magic again, and the [Fire Whirlwind], which was bigger than the first time, attacked the zombie herd and began to inhale with tremendous momentum.

“At this rate, it’s almost over.” Greetings, Grandpa. Please be careful not to get sucked in. ”

It’s up to you! Temma, don’t make a mistake like you did before.

After all, I was told… that when I turned forward to push the [Fire Whirlwind] forward,

“Grandpa, defend!”

“Nnnnnnnh!”

Suddenly, the [Fire Whirlwind] was disturbed and exploded the next moment. Rather than the result of the rampage, I felt that I was prevented from playing by some kind of magic (…) method. This blast shattered thousands of zombies in the vicinity of the [Fire Whirlwind] and blew me and my grandfather apart. However, when I noticed the disturbance, I immediately defended myself with magic, and my grandfather’s defense was too close in time, so the impact caused by the two blasts could be reduced considerably, and I did not take any damage that would immediately make me incapacitated.

“Grandpa, it’s okay!”

The blast damaged my body and my vision was blurred and I felt nauseous, but I didn’t say I couldn’t move. But it didn’t seem to be the case with Grandpa.

For now, it’s wobbly, but it’s floating in the air, but it looks like my eyes are spinning more than mine, and it doesn’t look strange when I crash. Furthermore, it seems that the hearing is abnormal, and there is no response to the loud call from before.

Grandpa!

“Huh?… oh, Temma.” I’m sorry, but I don’t know what you’re talking about. ”

I quickly grabbed my grandfather’s arm and decided to leave the place for a moment. In the meantime, when I called again, Grandpa told me that his ears were strange, and he told me what was happening. Otherwise, I felt pain in my body and decided to use recovery magic to deal with it. This should get you better soon, except for nausea and dizziness.

Temma, just in case, maybe you should step back a little bit more.

“I see. Somehow, when the dragon zombie shows up, the situation is similar… and I have a really bad feeling about it.”

I feel like the dragon zombies of that time might be able to handle it, but if there were such a big, conspicuous bunch of them, they would be the first to notice, and the Sangha dukes would report anything. In the first place, I’m going to tell you how many of those guys are going to get away with it.

“Maybe a dragon zombie is a better monster…”

And when Grandpa flagged the ominous, we finished evacuating. My current position is five kilometers away from where I was first. I took the distance with great care, but I swallowed the first smoke when the “fire whirlwind” exploded, and I haven’t seen it clear yet. If there really was a dragon zombie-class monster in the smoke, it could be dangerous at this distance.

“Anyway, let’s use recovery medicine while keeping an eye out not only for the smoke, but also for the surroundings.” I may not be able to recover much, but I would have been better off than not recovering. ”

That’s right. I’d like to go down to the ground and take a breath… but it’s too scary to do that.

I do want to do the same, but if you descend to the ground at this distance, you can’t see the center of the smoke because of the terrain, so if you can give the opponent a way to attack from a long distance or move at high speed, it may give you a deadly gap.

That’s why my grandfather and I waited in the air and used the recovery medicine with vigilance. Originally, it might be better to put a little something in my belly, but now I even swallow the medicine for recovery.

“The smoke seems to have faded… but isn’t it true that the [Fire Whirlwind] was an accident?”

“I don’t have any movement after a long time, so I hope so too, but… I don’t think so.” I don’t know why it’s quiet, but I’m sure there’s something there. ”

Even though I wondered how good it would be if Grandpa was right, there was a person who believed that it was absolutely impossible.

“Grandpa, I don’t know what’s going on, but let’s keep our distance.” If we stay like this, we might both get killed. ”

Well, I don’t know why you don’t show up, but it’s not going to end like this.

If the opponent was a single person, they would engage, and if there were multiple people, they would decide to escape. When they tried to distance each other to a certain extent, a strong wind blew around the area, and the remaining smoke was poured all at once.

The one who appeared out of the smoke…..

People?

It was the same size as us, the type of person covered with a cloak all over his body.

What happened to our damage?

“Of the five squads waiting outside the fort, the three squadrons positioned in front of them were engaged and defeated!” I was able to retreat to the rear with about half of the three squadrons that were engaged! ”

“A few four-armed monsters that have been chasing us have been attached to the fort, but they are now defeated!” At that time, I allowed myself to enter and several people were sacrificed! ”

That sucks! I’ve kept my balance, and I’ve been pushed all at once!

So is it true that the Imperial army was a group of zoons?

“There’s no doubt about it. There are testimonies of the survival of the warring forces, and above all, there are numerous witness testimonies of zombies in pain as they fight alongside the four-armed monster. Even though the sun has set, we try to keep the lights on near the fort so those who testify can’t be mistaken at the same time.”

That’s true, but… if you say that, I can’t even imagine that the forces that were supposed to be alert will overlook the enemies that have been advancing hundreds of meters ahead.

“However, it seems that the enemy forces are not willing to take down the fort with their hips on their heads at the moment, and instead of conquering the fort, they are allocating the majority of their troops to conquering the capital.”

In that case, we may need to set up a team to fight right now. If we can work with the Duke of Sangha and the Marquis of Samons, we may be able to reduce the number of Imperials significantly and halt or cancel our march… but how many of us will survive? Fighting among the enemy forces, defeating the enemy, and maintaining a military system can be quite a dream.

Uncle Frontier, I just heard from the Duke of Sangha and the Marquis of Sammons!

“Give it to me!… damn it!” They’re in the same situation! ”

I mean, I can’t come to your help. Even over there, I’m sure you want the same kind of help as we do.

If this happens, we’ll have to use the castle plane. Even if the three armies are in line, there is a high possibility of destruction, but the Frontier Army alone will die in vain.

Fortunately in misfortune, the Duke’s and Marquis’ forts have been completed and strengthened, the three forts are well supplied with food, and there is a secret core of Golem from the House of Otori.

Even though the Temma Golem’s performance is high, it will be difficult to defeat enemy forces who do not know how many in 5,000. Instead, a golem that doesn’t need a break is reassuring in the present circumstances… but if the timing is wrong to reveal the existence of a golem, we may need to be crushed before we march, and the same will happen if there are informants from the Empire among the Border Troops.

“(Perhaps you should stay down until the last minute…) So, what’s going on with the Royal Capital and Shellheim?”

“You’ve already done it.” First, we will send news to Shelheim, and then we will send it to the capital. ”

It seems that the merit of hiring a few tamers who were using bird-shaped monsters when they couldn’t move. The tamers we hired were deposited with the Duke of Sangha and the Marquis of Samons, so it’s easy to get in touch with the three armies without leaving the fort. Besides, it was nice to send Lila, who was originally in charge of this fort, to Sherheim in exchange for me. If I had stayed here, there would have been no one in Shelheim who could safely entrust full military authority to me.

“Hmm… let’s get some more messages to Shellheim quickly.” The content is as follows: “Exit the surrounding residents and soldiers to Shellheim, gather them, and overpower the Imperial Army. Only allow residents to bring in the minimum supplies they need when collecting, and let the soldiers bring in the supplies at each base as much as they can.” Also, tell the Duke of Sangha and the Marquis of Samons that the Frontier Army chose the Castle. ”

You can contact me later for more details. I’m sure those two will understand what I’m thinking. If I hadn’t formed a castle for the castle before that… this might have affected my troops since the ambush.

“Tell your soldiers to insist on military discipline.” Even though we’re in a tough situation, we can’t exhaust the army by being boring. ”

Though the situation is tough as never before, we will have to wait a little longer for the situation to change. I have to pray to my hair that it changes as much as possible.
