Gaiden episode 57
similar personality Grigori couldn't understand the current situation.
[Why are you enduring this far?]
I couldn't understand the struggles of humans.
[Human nature would not be able to withstand the threat of this army?]
There was no other reason for the giant stone statues to be used as the main force, but it was mainly to stab the human psyche.
Not only humans, but living things are afraid of beings bigger than themselves.
[...] ... Is it because of Arell Ernesia's intervention?]
After all, is he manipulating it from behind?
But it won't be a big problem. Conversely, that would mean that if we destroy their rebellion, then the future plans will go smoothly.
[Then put in a little more power... ... .]
Grigori decided to open up additional troops. I'm not ready yet, but I've already prepared enough energy in advance.
[I'll make sure to crush it.]
It hits and falls out.
Use a large weapon to destroy it once, and quickly advance your troops to finish it off additionally.
It was about time to repeat the method and steadily reduce the number of giant stone statues.
“More changes ahead!”
With the observer's report, the change was immediately noticeable.
“Hoo... ... Looks like they're going to fight back in earnest.”
Nerel gnashed her teeth in annoyance.
What appeared in the enemy camp were beings that gave off a presence different from the giant stone statues.
The first thing that appeared was a huge slime object.
“... ... Could it be that it’s just a slime?”
A voice that sounds a bit drained.
I was nervous about what to bring out, but what suddenly appeared was a clumsy lump.
When it comes to intimidation, the giant stone statue was one step higher.
“no! Stay alert!”
But being careless with that would be different.
According to common sense, there is no way to send something worse than the stone statue from before into the back row.
“No matter what... ... home?!”
The commanding officer was stunned, forgetting to even breathe for a moment.
The huge slime starts to melt.
“Is it self-destruction? ... ... What?!”
The immediate surprise is that I noticed the phenomenon it caused.
“Is it melting?”
It was literally melting.
When the slime melts, strange things happen to the places where the fog touches.
Some burn, some freeze. Also, some melt or turn black and rot.
Another rushes through a foggy place, then flies into the wrong sky and falls.
There is no such thing as anything that touches that fog that ends successfully.
“Kuh... ... retreat! Don't touch that!”
Hastily, the commanders bit the soldiers from the front line.
The slime itself is not a threat, but the phenomenon it causes is a threat.
“A monster that literally causes disasters and pestilence?”
“Honestly, it doesn’t feel good.”
Hetia's intuition and Nerel's instinct felt a strange revulsion from that monster.
Man-made malevolence against nature.
“Above all, I can't advance like that... ...
Perhaps the purpose is to block the soldiers' path.
In addition, additional bombardment takes place in the giant castle.
Shocking shells that seemed to pierce the ground one step at a time threatened them with a ceaseless fall.
Urgently spread the barrier to protect the soldiers' heads, but there is a limit to holding out.
They would have had to back off for a while.
“There is a limit to holding out with soldiers alone!”
If you rush at it recklessly, you will die.
“Why don't we try bombing from this side as well?”
“... ... It would be pointless.”
Knowing that resistance would be strong if they tried hand-to-hand combat, the other side also used artillery bombardment and other means to block the advance.
“I can’t... ...
widely! The one who got up from the table was Nerel.
Up until now, she, like humans, had been quiet as a commander, stood up.
“Nerel... ... sir?”
“Now that this has happened, leave it to us. I was getting tired of just sitting there. Your wings are sore.”
They are doing just fine on their own.
The provision of weapons or a little advice was necessary, but it proves that they are dealing with it in their own way even without direct intervention.
“Above all, I like that you didn’t choose to retreat.”
Grigori's large army of stone statues are gradually crumbling as if they were being cut away, and on the contrary, humans are making a way to advance.
And finally, the human army reached the giant castle.
It's finally open!
They waited for the humans to open the gap by fighting on their own.
“... ... It is now.”
I nodded towards the reincarnated people.
They also immediately followed me without a word.
At the point where they proved their strength by breaking through the road, now I have to do the finishing touches.
We immediately broke into the giant's interior and moved swiftly.
“What we’re aiming for is that damned piece of scrap metal!”
“I know!”
“... ... I have a lot to repay.”
We had a lot to say and we had our own grudges, so we broke through and moved upwards without anyone saying anything.
“hmm?”
However, when I was in a bit of a hurry, my footwork stopped for a moment not because an enemy worth noting had appeared.
“This??????
Those who stopped there like me did not speak.
I was at a loss for words after seeing the same thing.
“indeed... ... It goes like this.”
Surprisingly, it was Rirensen who expressed his impressions calmly.
“I was a little curious. How will he deal with the people he has reaped after revealing his true nature?”
“Well, there is that too.”
In fact, in that case, I wasn't too sure. For the sake of his desire and the desire to be recognized, Mileus collected and ruled over ignorant humans.
However, Grigori, who revealed his true nature, is different.
He's already declared that he doesn't need humans.
If so, what to do?
Unfortunately, I considered the possibility of disposing of it.
Fortunately, they didn't reach the worst assumption, but their ending was really strange.
“... ... Literally keep it.”
Shen murmured.
It is presumed that this is the compartment where humans lived.
It is divided into numerous compartments.
And inside that compartment is blocked by a hard, transparent wall... ... inside it.
“.. I”
There is a person trapped in it, struggling and shouting something.
“Are you locked up?”
“I don’t intend to kill... ... He must have preserved it in his own way.”
He said he would re-spray the humans he made to his liking. Then, of course, you need a specimen that is the original species.
There was no particular movement to go out to save it, so it must have been an attempt to use the humans who had already been harvested once.
“What are you going to do?”
“I should sleep and take it out, but... ...
It's a bit cumbersome for us to go out on our own. I don't even want to be seen.
“You guys stay and induce the invading army to come this way. And in case you don’t know, I secretly protect you.”
We can entice the allied forces to find and save it.
It was like he was entrusted with the perfect job because he thought he needed to control the speed of the intrusion.
After that, as we chased up and came up, the defense measures arranged by the guy greeted us.
Each time, he left it as if he were entrusting a task to each of the guys accompanying him.
In the end, I reach the top floor alone.
“For now, is this as planned?”
top of the giant.
In terms of human beings, it is literally a place where there could be a ruler there.
But no fancy decorations. There is no shining throne.
A room filled with the smell of iron, oil and chemicals.
“It’s nice to be frugal. But do you decorate a little? Don't you know how cool the interior is?
If so, would you like to give me a gift? Even if I look like this, I have a bit of a knack for decorating the house.”
[Human extravagance is a logic that does not apply to me. Above all, Mileus didn't particularly like it either.]
“Oh, is that so?”
Well, I have no intention of lecturing Arell's interior know-how.
I just came here to destroy everything. How
