Chapter 4 Initiating Operations – We are the Proud Warriors

The goblins and slimes took about 7 days to grow exponentially. Within that period, everything from small animals to large animals and even some outsider goblins that entered were exterminated.

The results of the 7 days earned me 332 DP.

Using this, I fixed the dungeon’s deficiencies and made it so that it would be easier to work. I added more traps to support us. The new goblins and slimes started being brought in to prepare for the next enemy.

And so 2 days later [Humans] were detected by the slime scouts.

Right now the main force is on the 3rd floor in the war room being briefed on the situation.

[Right now we have detected 5 enemies near the dungeon. We will be able to obtain more information when they enter the labyrinth. I will convey the preliminary information. There is two front-line spear men, and 2 more support-type magicians behind the first 2. And finally there is 1 thief-type who is thought to be acting as their scout.]

The goblins and slimes were listening without showing any particular response. Aren’t you guys a little too dependable.

[Breaking them down by gender, the front two and the 1 in the rear are men and the remaining two are women. My impressions are that its a stable party…formation. The front-line will engage the enemy while the rear attacks with long-range attacks. The thief will use his speed to find the enemy and will support the entire battle.

In games, this the usual formation, sturdy, meaning…

[The enemies are experts so be prepared. G unit will deploy 3 squads to attack and two squads will standby as my guard. S unit will deploy 2 squads to backup the nearby G unit. The other 3 squads of S unit will be deployed in the 1 in a 1000 chance that the enemy won’t be taken out by the main force in which case they will launch a surprise attack to eliminate the enemy.]

G unit are the goblins and the S unit of courser are the slimes.

[The interception location will be the back of the 1st floor. Then let me convey the operation goals. Primary goal is to annihilate the enemies. Secondary goal is to capture the enemy. In regards to the secondary goal, I would like the leader but its alright if you give priority to the primary objective. Then the ETA for the enemy is 1430 hours so standby until 1400.]

The secondary goal of capturing them alive was to get some information from the outside. It will help me manage the dungeon more effectively but this time I think it will be difficult to capture the enemy.

In any case, I can’t judge the situation until they step withing the dungeon allowing me to analyze them.

And so everyone was assembled. Switching standby position.

And so at 1430 the intruders arrived starting the operation. They arrived earlier than expected. As I expected they appear to be veterans.

Starting analysis.

First I check the statuses of the men…of course I already reported the information to G unit and S unit. The average is around 40 huh. From our perspective that’s plenty strong but the statuses proportions compared to their levels show that my subordinates are stronger, aren’t they? Or does it mean that gaining levels will be easier from now on. There maybe more progress since their races are different? I can’t come to the conclusion right now though.

Also under rewards and punishments, ruler of the past and hero of the past is worth noting. They seem to have some grand history. Well let’s judge them after looking at the women.

…A maid huh. No, but is the rewards and punishments section for the women ignored? Even though I haven’t heard the circumstances from the slaves themselves I can still understand that their circumstances are bad. I can make this the secondary goal then.

[I will start giving you individual directives. The information is as you see it is. The main obstruction are the 3 men. The two women according to their statuses are pretty much powerless. As such make the two women priority for the secondary objective. G unit 1st squad will capture them. The remaining men will be shifted to primary objective. There’s no need to hold back, crush them with your full might. If they survive by coincidence capture them too according to the secondary objective.]

[No change in the operation. The first interception will take place at point alpha, point beta will be the second interception point. Point theta will be the last defense line of the 1st floor and will be the third attack point.]

After finishing giving out orders, I opened up the map to see G unit and S unit approach the enemy at point alpha. The enemy markers seem to be slowly moving forward. Monitoring them in real time I can see that the two girls’ statuses aren’t looking good.

The heroine flag and the troublesome flag usually seem to coincide but from  my perspective who knows nothing about this world, this royal and the escort are greatly appreciated. Using the word protection if I can get them on my side even though it might be troublesome will have great deal of merit.

And so the enemy arrived at point alpha…

[Start Operation! We are the proud soldiers! Ladies and Gentlemen, I expect a good fight!]

Let’s see, how far we can fight enemies with statuses above ours?
