𝐂𝐡𝐚𝐩𝐭𝐞𝐫 𝟔𝟗: 𝐓𝐡𝐚𝐭’𝐬 𝐫𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭, 𝐥𝐞𝐭’𝐬 𝐝𝐞𝐬𝐭𝐫𝐨𝐲 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐜𝐢𝐭𝐲

Fired up, I started my next action within that day.

Since Leif woke up, we had breakfast together first.

After that, I asked Leif a few questions and said, “I’m going out for a bit,” and dispatched the Automata to the destination.

ㅤ

This time, the destination is the city of Bordeaux, where I bought Leif.

I bring along the stealthy zombie, and use the Spirited Away skill to pass through the gate.

The key here is to take the zombie-sensei with us.

Because the zombie-sensei can only teleport to places she has been to before.

ㅤ

I return the stealthy zombie to the dungeon, and have the Automata continue to walk around the city of Bordeaux with the zombie-sensei.

The destination is the other gates set up around the city.

The city of Bordeaux (or rather, most cities in this world) is surrounded by defensive walls against monsters.

And apparently, there is one gate each in the east, west, south, and north on the walls of this city.

I heard that from Leif.

ㅤ

That’s very convenient.

For destroying this city.

ㅤ

Yes.

Today, I intend to destroy this city.

I’ve thought about it before, but considering the distance from the dungeon, it would be better to destroy this city.

It’s a bit worrisome to deploy enough forces to destroy the city, but the dungeon’s defenses have increased from before, so it should be fine.

ㅤ

Besides, the capital of this country is now in ruins.

Most likely, no reinforcements will come no matter how much I rampage here.

On the contrary, I think the country will be ravaged by the Demon Lord’s army pouring in from the former capital in a few days, even if I do nothing.

So, there should be no problem if I crush it.

ㅤ

The reason why I would do such a thing is simply for experience points.

I’ve greatly increased my Lv through hunting heroes, but I’m still far from the Demon Lord.

So, I need as many experience points as possible to close the power gap.

There’s no reason to miss out on the defenseless and easy-to-hunt sitting ducks like the cities and villages of a crumbling country.

After crushing this city, I plan to crush all the human settlements within reach one after another.

ㅤ

But to gain experience points and DP, you can’t just kill.

You have to kill properly within the dungeon territory.

Of course, this will use the Automata’s pseudo-dungeon territory, just like when I destroyed the village before,

But to kill all the inhabitants of the city within the range of the pseudo-dungeon territory, within a radius of 10 meters, is an enormous task.

It takes time, and if not careful, there may be missed targets.

That’s why I need to prepare carefully.

To trap all the inhabitants like rats in a bag, and make sure I can kill them.

ㅤ

So, I took the zombie-sensei with me and made all the gates on all four sides teleportable.

Then, I immediately put my plan into action.

Since no reinforcements will come even if I stand out this time, I decided to kill grandly from the daytime.

ㅤ

First, I sent zombie troops and a golem & gargoyle force to the gates on all four sides, and sealed the gates with the grandpa zombie and zombie-maki’s ice magic, and the gargoyle’s earth magic.

Then, leaving just enough forces to defend the gates, the others spread out to corner from the edges, just like when I crushed the village.

I set fire to the houses near the city walls, making the residents gather in the center to escape from the fire.

ㅤ

The trainer zombie played an unexpected role at this time.

As expected, the [Taming] skill was effective on humans, but what was unexpected was that I could control a large number of adults with its effects.

The trainer zombie has a low Lv.

Therefore, the MP required to activate the skill is also low.

So, I thought I couldn’t spam the taming skill.

ㅤ

But, however.

It seems that the skill of taming doesn’t use much MP to activate, regardless of the success rate.

Golems and the like weaken the targets, and the trainer zombie throws a Monster Ball.

With this, I was able to control hundreds of people at the same time.

I tried it just to see what would happen, but I didn’t expect to achieve so much.

ㅤ

Those I controlled were made to commit suicide when the Automata approached after being used as pawns.

The feeling of using it is similar to a slave with a slave mark.

Unlike zombies, they retain their consciousness and ego, but they obey orders unconditionally.

However, I don’t plan to make them long-term pawns like Leif.

Watching people attack their neighbors crying and die glaring at the Automata, I lose such an intention.

It’s a parade of anger, sadness, and hatred.

It’s scary if the control is released by any chance when using such a thing as a pawn.

I made sure to kill everyone without exception.

ㅤ

And so, the city of Bordeaux was destroyed very efficiently.

There were soldiers and adventurers who resisted, but this was a city where the undying zombie from their previous life was called the strongest.

With no chance of winning against the overwhelming power of zombies with far greater status, along with the mass-produced golem & gargoyle army, the city was destroyed in less than half a day.

Unlike the village, I didn’t go through the trouble of completely eradicating the buildings to cover up the evidence, but I set fire to the entire city, so I think there are no survivors.

The only residents left alive are those I deliberately spared.

ㅤ

And now, the Automata is in front of those survivors.

To do the last job in this city.

The current location is the Adventurer’s Guild.

In front of me, there are many guild staff who have been beaten half to death and controlled with the taming skill.
