Day 70 Daytime, Murimuri Castle interior
Shouts of agony continue coming from the bamboo grove, or rather the thicket.
Since it was frustrating to simply run away, I mass produced wire traps and pitfalls before retreating, so outside is still noisy with constant banging of explosions, but losing 100 or 200 wouldnt even begin making a dent on their numbers.
That aside, why do middle-aged men of this world keep flocking to me? And just as I thought, middle-aged men ratio of this world goes against principle of causality itself! At this point it seems like its better to start investigating it from the cause and effect relation itself?
They already entered the castle, so it became more of a indoor guerilla warfare than siege defense, but it actually feels more like Bomberman. The issue is that Im on the side that is getting exploded, so its not fun at all.
The mere concept of enemies doing nothing but setting up exploding already makes it one shitty game, but with all enemy characters also being middle-aged men it makes me want to smash the screen before even trying?
Moreover, with photo-realistic middle-aged men Couldnt they at least be a bit deformed for comedic effect?!
There are still more than 10,000 middle aged men, and the Churchs forces that were hiding in the Fake Dungeon are also beginning to gather up. But the existence of suicide troops, which I didnt expect to see, prevents from thoughtlessly getting into close combat.
But, like, close combat is all I can actually do? If I start carelessly shooting magic there Ill immediately reveal my position, get surrounded, and then BANG.
Im successfully crushing middle-aged men by stirring them up with guerilla attacks to bait them into traps, but with the excessively excessive number of middle-aged men is excessive. No matter how many are exploded or caught into traps they keep coming.
Itll be all over if I get surrounded, so Im creating confusion while culling their numbers, assaulting groups that were isolated, only to then immediately retreat.
Its our loss if they get past Murimuri Castle. So I have to lure them to me, but I absolutely dont want to lure any middle-aged men! And those middle-aged men also have short fuse, exploding right upon seeing me.
But if they manage to get through the castle and cause a stampede in the Frontiers territory, it will be the Frontiers defeat, as the army is currently all outside the region.
I went around creating walls around every town and village, but I couldnt get to every single one, and having farmland devastated will also destroy agriculture. Moreover, knowing their history, its clear that the Churchs army must be a bunch of scum who like taking hostages.
Thats right, lets go back to the basics.
I couldnt raise my level, remaining quite weak, but I have a lot more small tricks, and great equipment now. However, that is the reason why I lost sight of something else.
Thats right, at first I was fighting with nothing. I fought while being unable to do pretty much anything. So lets go back to the roots.
HYAHAAAAAA!
Sneak up from behind and whack them on the head. Hit them and run, while avoiding middle-aged bombers. What a nostalgic feeling.
MIDDLE-AGED MEN ANNIHILATION!
I mean, if they were regular filth, then sterilization wouldve worked, but since even after disinfection a middle-aged man remains a middle-aged man, the only solution is a total physical annihilation?
Actually, adjusting the strength to knock them out without killing is quite difficult, but if they die, they will explode, and if they are still conscious, they will explode too. Either way, middle-aged men are still annoying no matter what you do.
Even so, to think Id get to play a real life version of bomberman in this world, but isnt it weird that Im on the to be exploded side? Th. most uptod/at nvels a/re published on n(0)velbj)n(.)c/o/m
If I knew itd come to this I wouldve either learned archery or at least made a bow gun. Well, running from place to place makes it more advantageous for me.
And bludgeoning middle-aged men is surprisingly refreshing, which means the stress from the hell of highly-concentrated middle-aged men in the Fake Dungeon have accumulated to the point of ruining this world for me.
Moreover, I also tried to scatter some poison mushrooms around, but unexpectedly, middle-aged men arent eating from the floor? Yeah, I only got three of them with this so far? If only I could figure out middle-aged mens weakness Id be able to exterminate them in one go From this world.
The Churchs knights are staying as one group, so I cant target them. They seem to be maintaining what appears like a defensive formation around that small unit that remained in the very rear all this time.
In that case, Id like to destroy the mage unit and middle-aged bombers in the meantime, but the remnants of the nobles armys mercs and bandits keep getting in the way. And since it keeps stressing me out, I keep venting it out by clubbing middle-aged men?
In other words, it seems to be an infinite stress release and generation cycle that will keep going until I exterminate middle-aged men from this world.
