Chapter 181: Battle For Tiamo (4)

An elf was running frantically.

Beside him, a clearly deformed group of magical beasts headed in the same direction of travel.

It was a group of magical beasts from the Demon King’s army numbering in the hundreds of thousands.

That elf seemed to be wondering why he was doing this. ‘This is a time of crisis for the survival of Rosenheim. This is not the time to be doing this. If you want me to gather information, I’m willing to infiltrate a city that has been destroyed by enemy forces. If it leads to the protection of Her Majesty the Queen, I don’t mind losing my life.’

However, the orders of the superiors were absolute. I stuffed the instructed items into a bag to the limit and ran towards Tiamo.

It took my breath away to see that the 3 layers of temporary walls that the elves had built were filled with magical beasts.

And the running elf was relieved as he noticed that the real outer wall on the north side had not yet been pulled out.

He entered the city, making his way around to the gate on the east side of Tiamo. Of course, the main gates were not open. The entrance for the gatekeepers was open, so he run through it with little stalling.

There were no elves on the main street. He ran as fast as he could through the empty streets, aiming for the north side of city.

“I’ve brought the Magic stones!”

Inside the northern hull, there was a superior officer of the Thieves group. He reported back to his superior that he have accomplished his orders.

“Thank you for your help! Go to Mister Allen and ask for instructions.”

“Ha!”

The commander couldn’t afford to say mor than those 2 lines. The elves were desperately fighting to keep the magical beasts of the Demon King’s army away from the outer wall.

From the inside of the outer wall, under orders from the commander on the outer wall, Healers were casting Recovery Magic, Spirit Wielders were cast Attack Magic, and archers continued to shoot arrows.

He was told to go outside, and he didn’t hesitate to go out through the gatekeeper’s entrance next to the huge closed gate, where the magical beasts were.

(It’s just in time. Don’t be confused, come here.)

I was about to run out of magic stones, so I was very relieved to see that an elf had brought them safely. The number of B-rank magic stones in my <Inventory> was already less than 3000.

“Uh, excuse me. Please pour the magic stones into this hole!”

“What?”

“Please hurry!”

“Yes, yes!”

In front of me, there was a hole about a meter square. It was also about a meter deep.

The Thief elf, rushed and unsure of why, opened a large bag and poured in a bag full of magic stones.

“How many magic stones is this?”

“About 5,000.”

“Thank you for your help.”

“Ha, ha.”

The elf didn’t know what to make of it, but he poured in so much magic stones that he thought it would fill up the hole and overflow, but for some reason the bulk of the magic stones diminished, and more and more of it was sucked into the hole, which was only a meter wide.

(Thank god I can replenish my supply of magic stones from the elves even if they can’t see the Grimoire.)

The hole was dug by F-rank Beast summon who looks like a mole.

I had it dug 1 meter cube square hole , and placed a Grimoire with the <Inventory> page open in it.

The elven Thief couldn’t see the Grimoire, but I made it visible by digging a hole to see where he would put the magic stones.

(Now I can still fight. They’re coming! They’re coming! They’re coming!)

With a look of delight on my face, I checked the scene when I received from E-rank Eagle via <Sharing>. More than 10 elves were coming in rapid succession, carrying large bags.

Then, the elves, who had reached an unthinkable speed due to their Extra Skills, passed through the gatekeepers gate and came infront of men. Not much time had passed since the E-rank Bird had sighted them.

“‘I’ve got it, I’ve got it, I’ve got it!

I explained the same thing as before, and they poured more and more magic stones into the hole. The soldiers seemed to be committed to their work, even though they were wondering where it was going to.

The Thieves were quite often given unreasonable orders. It was also the role of the Thieves to confirm the total number and direction of the Demon King’s army this time. Naturally, they were forced to do unreasonable tasks, and it was said that Theives were the first to die on the battlefield.

The fact that they were dealing with a magical beast meant that their disguise would not work and they would be killed if they were found.

After studying the role of Thief and the battlefield at the Academy, I understood why the Thied I had fought in the past, Dagraha, had become an assassin and why he resented the world and his superiors, the Nobles.

(Now I’ve over 50,000 B-rank magic stones, and there’s more to come.)

Not long after the first group of Thieves, more and more elven Thieves arrived. There were more than 30 of them this time.

This time, the Demon King’s army’s offensive was very simple. Through sheer force of numbers, they wanted to capture Tiamo, where the Elven Queen, the head of the enemy army, was thought to be.

In contrast, my strategy was also simple.

First, we spent 3 days and 3 nights defeating the magical beasts from the front of the Demon King’s army. The Demon King’s army would plow through them without a care in the world, go around to the front again and do the same thing.

As a result, there were about 400,000 corpses of magical beasts that we had defeated over 3 days and 3 nights in the march track of the Demon King’s army. It’s a situation where the corpses of magical beasts were lined up in an endless line straight north from Tiamo.

From that magical beast, I had 3,000 elven troops recover the magic stones. The recovered magic stones were brought together by 100 Thieves who had Extra Skills that could increase their [Agility].

At this very moment, the elves with large sacks full of magic stones were coming one after another towards Tiamo. All 100 elves came without interruption and poured the magic stones into the hole.

(I’ve got over 300,000 magic stones. I’ve been pushed too far. Now, let’s get started.)

I used <Delete> and <Create> to summon 20 new B-rank Dragons.

“I’m starving. Let’s end this hunger. Dora-Doras, it’s time to use the [Fires of Wrath] with all your might.”

“””I’ve been waiting for this! My Lord!!!!”””

The B-rank Dragons, with their arrogant personalities, grinned and opened their huge jaws to swallow something from the void.

Then, a light several times brighter than the special skill appeared in their mouth, and then they shot glowing flames at the magical beasts.

The 20 B-rank Dragons spewed out breaths of power that were more like obliteration than burning.

Nearly 1,000 magical beasts were reduced to charcoal.

I then used [Fast Summoning] to <Delete> and <Create> 20 more B-rank Dragons.

“Let’s go! Unleash [Fires of Wrath]!”

“””Oh!”””

I continued to let B-rank Dragons use their awakening skill [Fires of Wrath], which had a cool down time of 1 day.

To do so, 20 of them would consume 580 B-rank magic stones, each time they were summoned.

I changed the speed at which the magic stones were consumed depending on the situation.

During the first Tiamo siege, I only had about 1,000 B-rank magic stones, so I fought mainly with B-rank Insect summons.

The next time we conducted a delay operation against an army of 1 million, I used more B-rank Dragon summons and consumed a little over 20,000 magic stones per day.

I was at that moment using magic stones at a rate of 50,000 per hour, turning magical beasts into charcoal.

Then, for the first time, we started to push them back and move forward.

The speed of our annihilation finally surpassed the progress of the Demon King’s army.

While riding on B-rank Bird summons, we slowly moved forward. To make sure that the magical beasts was in the attack range of B-rank Dragon’s awakening skill, I moved forward.

We had already pushed back to near the third layer of stone piles and were still decimating the Demon King’s army that was coming towards us.

And finally, the annihilation was over to the end of the Demon King’s army’s ranks.

“Okay, the Demon King’s army is no longer on the march. We’ll go around to the west side and defeat the magical beasts we couldn’t defeat before.”

“”Oh!””

By the time I started consuming a large amount of magic stones, there were nearly 300,000 Demon King’s army troops that had scattered to the east and west of the north wall.

We joined the west side of the north wall first. On the east side, there was Gatoruga present so we joined the weaker side.

“It’s a magical beast…”

The soldiers on the outer wall chortled. It was too one-sided of a massacre.

This time, the number of the Demon King’s army was reduced as if they were sandwiched between the outer wall and us.

The speed of annihilation was so fast that one could see it from the top of the outer wall.

The elves should have been relieved that the magical beasts were gone, but they couldn’t stop shaking. The Demon King’s army was burned to the ground in an instant. It was a one-sided massacre beyond their comprehension ability.

Thus, some of the magical beasts of the Demon King’s army began to retreat, but the battle against the army of 1 million magical beasts ended with the bodies of hundreds of thousands of magical beasts spread out on the north side of the outer wall of Tiamo.
