“. . . They’ve arrived.”

ㅤ

A few days after the end of the scouting mission.

Finally, the time had arrived.

The horde of monsters filled the space in front of the fortress.

Among them stood a gigantic black dragon, conspicuously prominent.

At last, the Demon Lord’s army had attacked the border fortress.

ㅤ

The moment I sensed this, I used the teleportation function to send Leif back to the dungeon.

With his current stats, he wouldn’t be able to keep up in a war like this.

He had a look like a puppy left behind when we parted, but what can’t be, can’t be.

Instead, I built a room for Leif on the first floor, and left there another Mamori-chan doll I made. He’ll have to make do with that.

ㅤ

“ROOOOOOOOAR!”

ㅤ

While I was thinking about all this, the dragon let out a roaring cry.

At the same time, a black light began to gather in the dragon’s mouth.

Even from a distance, it was clear.

That was the same attack that obliterated the capital of the Wolfeus Kingdom.

It was the prelude to the dragon’s breath.

ㅤ

“Here it comes! Prepare to intercept!”

[“Yes, sir!”]

“Repel it━’《Poseidon》!”

ㅤ

The commander who was up on the fortifications declared loudly, deploying his true equipment, a trident.

Following him, several individuals positioned around the fortress also deployed their true equipment.

Moreover, many magicians took their positions at the forefront.

ㅤ

The dragon’s breath was released.

ㅤ

The black aurora, destroying everything in its path, was advancing straight on.

The people of the fortress greeted it with all their might.

ㅤ

“‘《Tidal Wave》!”

[《Water Wall》!]

ㅤ

The commander unleashed a water magic spell that resembled a tsunami.

Along with that, it seemed most of the magicians had chosen water-type magic.

Of course, there were exceptions.

And so, the black breath and the large magic spell centered around water collided and neutralized each other.

…Incredible.

They blocked the dragon’s breath.

Even though the capital was easily blown away.

I guess the difference lies in whether they were prepared for the interception or not.

“Begin the counterattack! Archers, prepare!”

[Yes, sir!]

ㅤ

Following the commander’s orders, arrows were released from all over the fortress.

Whether it’s due to the excellent quality of the bows in this world, or the effect of the [Archery] skill, the arrows flew like bullets.

Certainly, in terms of range and power they are inferior to magic, but unlike magic, anyone can learn to use them and they don’t require MP. As long as you have arrows left, you can fire as many as you want, which is a unique advantage of archery.

In terms of Earth, it’s like bows and arrows are guns, and magic is tactical weaponry like missiles.

You can easily understand if you think about it like defeating a horde of gorillas with it.

ㅤ

The large amount of arrows caused significant damage to the Demon Lord’s army.

Many monsters were killed, pierced by the arrows.

Followed by a barrage of magic, the casualties of the Demon Lord’s army increased.

ㅤ

However, the critical dragon was unscathed.

ㅤ

“HAHAHA! Your weak arrows can’t scratch my beautiful body!

Charge! Follow me!”

[ROAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAR!]

[ROAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAR!]

ㅤ

And so, completely unconcerned about the damage to his side, he charged in at the head of the army.

A complete muscle-brain.

I can understand why the Demon Lord would sigh.

ㅤ

However, this strategy is surprisingly effective.

The dragon doesn’t budge from ordinary attacks.

And since the dragon’s massive body acts as a shield, as a result, the damage to the Demon Lord’s army is minimized.

Well, I really can’t imagine they thought it through that far.

ㅤ

“Close combat troops, ready!”

[Yes, sir!]

ㅤ

In response, the human side prepared for close combat.

Of course, the long-range attacks of arrows and magic didn’t stop, but they formed a formation prepared for the approach.

ㅤ

And finally, humans and the Demon Lord’s army clashed directly.

ㅤ

The first to clash were the commander and the dragon.

The dragon went for the commander, who was conducting the battle in a conspicuous position, and swiped its claws.

However, it was pushed back by multiple spells and the water attacks released by the commander, and retreated.

But it didn’t seem too damaged.

ㅤ

In the meantime, other monsters had started to cling to the walls of the fortress.

They were hit by arrows and spells, dropped off, stepped over the corpses of their comrades, and climbed the wall.

It was like a horror movie.

ㅤ

If they kept doing this, eventually a monster would appear that had climbed the wall.

ㅤ

“Intercept! Intercept them!”

ㅤ

The field commanders who were everywhere raised their voices, and the prepared melee units started to annihilate the monsters.

The Automata also mixed in and killed some.

I’m scared to think what would happen if the Demon Lord found out, but at that time, I’ll get them to accept it as a necessary expense.

I think they’ll probably forgive me if it’s just a few small fry.

The ones I defeated were foot soldiers like the rock golems in our place.

ㅤ

As we continued to fight like this, the battlefield gradually became chaotic.

The number of monsters crossing the wall increased, and the melee combat units were running around here and there.

This is the timing I was aiming for.

ㅤ

Now, I don’t think anyone would notice if one of the adventurers disappeared.

ㅤ

At that moment, when I was sure of it, I moved the Automata.

Looking at the floor plan drawn by Leif, my goal was the upper floor where the commander was fighting.

Now, the operation begins.

ㅤ

🔹𝘈𝘸𝘦𝘣𝘴𝘵𝘰𝘳𝘪𝘦𝘴.𝘤𝘰𝘮 ― 𝘐𝘯𝘥𝘶𝘭𝘨𝘦 𝘪𝘯 𝘢 𝘤𝘰𝘭𝘭𝘦𝘤𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯 𝘰𝘧 𝘵𝘳𝘢𝘯𝘴𝘭𝘢𝘵𝘦𝘥 𝘯𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘭𝘴 𝘸𝘪𝘵𝘩 “𝘥𝘢𝘪𝘭𝘺 𝘶𝘱𝘥𝘢𝘵𝘦𝘴” 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘦𝘹𝘤𝘭𝘶𝘴𝘪𝘷𝘦 𝘢𝘤𝘤𝘦𝘴𝘴 𝘵𝘰 𝘢𝘥𝘷𝘢𝘯𝘤𝘦𝘥 𝘤𝘩𝘢𝘱𝘵𝘦𝘳𝘴🔹

“Huh?”

ㅤ

At that point, I saw something reflected on the monitor from the perspective of the Automata.

Something like a bird was flying at an incredible speed from the back of the fortress.
