311 - - Thirty-nine times, Han.

After finishing the treatment of Mr. Blast, I proposed a plan. I named it "Blast's Zombie Attack ......". It is not an uncommon strategy in games, but it would be a devilish deed if we actually do it.

Mr. Jude, who was apparently in command, is called back to the room and plans a strategy centered on Mr. Blast's zombie attack. When Mr. Jude and his gang of ruffians hear the story, their faces are all scrunched up. I am a little relieved to see that many of them have ...... sane sensibilities. Of course there were those who objected to the danger of the operation, but Mr. Blast prevailed.

Mr. Blast seems to be rather pleased with this operation, even though he is the most dangerous one. This is a plan I proposed, but I'm afraid I'm going to back down.

"So, sir, the guys who can use bows will be by the wall, defending and covering. The guys who can fight to some extent should focus on defense and follow the leader so that he won't be surrounded. The skilled ones will support the retreat if the leader is in trouble, and buy time for the ex-adventurers. The wounded will be carried to the doctor as fast as they can be carried.

Mr. Jude seems to have made up his mind, and proceeds to confirm the plan without hesitation. He's quick to make the switch.

"Yes, as long as they don't die, they'll be fine, but please bring them in as soon as possible.

"Yes, sir."

"Okay!　This is getting interesting!　There are five former adventurers left. If we can kill two of them, the rest will be easy. First we'll take out the shields!

Mr. Blast is waving his arms around happily. Come to think of it, I don't know anything about ex-adventurers. Let's ask Mr. Jude.

...... They are a party of six men, two swords, a spear, a shield, a bow, and a thief. The first one to be crushed in the first battle is a spear, and the next one is a shield.

The meeting is over and suddenly there is a lot of noise around. Mr. Jude gave instructions, the positions were changed, and Mr. Blast started equipping ...... some kind of ridiculously large gold bar. If it has spikes on it, it must be a weapon that ogres have.

I use a hammer too, so I feel close to him as one who uses the same blunt weapon, but in my case, I'm a cheat, and I guess Mr. Blast can't ...... understand my muscle power. When Mr. Blast is swinging his club, his muscles are so dynamic. I'm sure if I met the Muscle Stars, I'd get along with them instantly.

****

"...... Hey, Mr. Blast is going to hit us now, right?"

I am shown to a room on the second floor where I can see the battle and ask a question to a gruff man who has come to pick me up from the liaison office.　

"Yes!　My boss is going to charge in now!"

You look at me like I'm not surprised. He doesn't seem to understand what I'm trying to say at all.

"Then why are you walking out of the front door so brazenly and slowly while doing warm-up exercises?　Shouldn't we surprise them all at once instead of taking it slow so they don't get ready?"

"Strong men don't do that!"

I want to slam my fist into his smug face, but apparently it's a matter of male aesthetics. It's a world I don't understand at all, but I guess Mr. Brust, with his chivalrous air, has a line he won't budge.

"...... But Jude-san used the hidden passage to surprise them from behind, didn't he?"

"Jude's brother is strong, but not as strong as his boss. If you're not as strong as your boss, you're not a Han!

......It seems that there is a difference in the word "man" between me and this rascal. I have no idea. Well, at any rate, when you're in Mr. Blast's class, you're supposed to be up front and proud.

Mr. Blasto is leading his henchmen through the garden at a leisurely pace. Nello's side seems to have noticed Mr. Blast's action and is now ready for battle. Mr. Blasto walks out of the gate opened by his henchmen, proudly carrying a gold bar on his shoulder. This is very different from what I had expected.

But Nello's side is making a lot of noise. Maybe they're confused because Mr. Blast, who was so battered and bruised, has come out in high spirits.

"Osh!　Come on out, you ex-adventurers!　Let's play!"

Mr. Blast says loudly while swinging a gold bar. Numerous arrows are shot at Mr. Blast. Mr. Blast runs into a group of enemies while flicking arrows flying at him with his club. His henchmen follow behind him to make sure that Mr. Blast does not become isolated. A war has begun.

"I'm gonna get you, boss!"

A gruff man leans out the window to cheer.

"You're an idiot."

Sylphy, who was watching from next door, blurted out something, and Vita was smiling bitterly next to her. Sylphy might be amused by this absurd situation, but it seems it's not her thing. Is it the hot and bothered feeling that she doesn't like?

As I was looking away, I heard a noise. I hear a loud noise and turn around to see Mr. Blast's gold bar being caught by a large shield. It seems that a group of former adventurers has come out. The quality of their equipment is obviously different from the others. It seems to be true that they used to be a party of high ranking adventurers.

The former adventurers try to surround Mr. Blast, but his henchmen are blocking their way. The ex-adventurer bandit tries to do something, but Mr. Jude attacks him.

As planned, the henchmen are more defensive, so it's Mr. Blast versus the ex-adventurer party. It was not planned that Mr. Jude was holding the bandit, but he was trying to take out some tools, so I guess it was right to hold the bandit. It's a common practice that things don't turn out well when you let the bandits run free, isn't it?

"Wow ......, crushing shields is just what the saying goes ......."

Mr. Blast's fight ...... a powerful blow of a gold bar striking from a huge body . He is just slamming it into the man who is playing the role of a shield. That's all he does. He's not thinking about taking a chance on his opponent. He's really going to smash the shield. Is he trying to avoid attacks from other ex-adventurers at ......?

They seem to be defending themselves against attacks that might lead to death, but they seem to be ignoring half-hearted attacks in favor of attacks. It hurts, but the wound will heal later, so attack first! I guess.　

Guynn!　GUN! A dull thud echoes through the plaza. From above, it looks as if the man acting as a shield is backing away every time he is hit by Mr. Blast's attack. If he is able to defend himself from an attack that would have crushed him in a single blow if he were a normal human being, even though he is falling back, it might be a lie that he is an A-rank adventurer if he has a good behavior.

"You can fight so well, but you were ripped to shreds in the first battle, weren't you?　Was the first person you beat really strong?"

I ask the gruff guy I'm cheering for.

"Well, they were strong and the spear was troublesome, but they were not so different from the others. But they used their skills a lot at first, so my boss was in a lot of trouble!

Oh, I had skills, too. I had forgotten about them because I rarely use them myself.

"Don't you use skills, Mr. Blast?"

"It is hard to use the master's skill in such a case. The skill to raise the defense and the skill to make the enemy hit very hard with a strong blow by gathering up power. I heard that he was stabbed the first time he tried to use it.

...... is certainly a hard skill to use in this situation. You'll get stabbed while you're building up your strength. What if Jude and the others can buy some time ......?　Is it too risky to just get stabbed if you get out of the way?

"Oh, sir. They're bringing in a wounded man!　I'm going to have to ask you to go downstairs now."

It was. We can't just sit up there and watch the game. I go downstairs and enter the room where the injured will be brought in.

"Sir!　Please!"

As soon as they entered, the injured were brought in. His right arm is torn to pieces. I look at Vita and pretend to cast a recovery spell.

"Oh, it's healed!"

Hey, stop, don't wave your bloody arms around. You'll get blood all over the place.

"Thank God, doctor. I'll make sure you pay for this!"

A man runs out with a bang. ...... maybe if he doesn't, he goes to retaliate against the enemy who cut him on the arm. After that, people started coming in with injuries.

I guess they have been told about the importance of defense, and there are few people who are injured to the point of death, but there are some who are brought in with wounds on their necks and others with blood flowing down their bodies. It is quite a heartbreaking sight.

I can't see what's going on outside from here, but Sylphy is giving me a live report to some extent, so I can understand what's going on. So far, everything seems to be going according to the plan.

"Oh my God, Blast has been stabbed!"

What?

**

"Oh, no, I missed. We almost took them out!　Doctor, I'm sorry, but you've got to hurry!　Jude and the others are in danger!"

...... I don't know, I'm sure he's badly hurt, but seeing Mr. Blast with a sword growing out of the right side of his ass is comedic and disarming. But he also has scars on his face, arms and back. It must be a tough fight.

"When I give you the signal, please draw your sword."

I ask my escort to help me and hold my right hand over Mr. Blast, who is on all fours with his butt up in the air. ...... It's a disgusting picture. He pretends to chant and signals with his left hand. The attendant pulls the sword from his hip and blood spurts out, and Vita heals him accordingly.

"You're cured!"

"Thank you, doctor. I'll be sure to thank you and take care of my men.

Mr. Blast bowed his head and hurriedly left the room. His buttocks are bright red. ...... I don't know if it's dignified, but I guess he doesn't have time to change in this situation.

Blast is back and your opponent is screaming. The guy with the shield who's been getting hammered so hard, he looks like he's about to run away.

Sylphy tells us about the situation of the war, and it seems that Mr. Blast's second return has given quite a shock. Other opponents who were supposed to have been defeated are coming back one after another. It must be a terrible situation for the other side.

On our side, three people have retired due to mental illness. The other side does not seem to have such a good treatment system, and those with minor injuries continue to fight. If the injuries are dangerous, they are treated with potions. At this rate, while Mr. Blast is holding off the former adventurers' party, the difference in resurrection rate might settle the issue.
