335 311 Personnel

The night before Stampede, I managed to get enough gear for everyone.

It was thanks to the blood and hard work of the blacksmiths led by Yukari.

When I went to look at the situation in the evening, I heard that it was almost finished, and Yukari said, "Please stay away from me now."

That cold power and strangled Yukari is so hot for everyone...!

I secretly chewed on my emotions.

"Maiden's Heart"

When I told Laz, he said it with a smile like a bodhisattva.

What's that supposed to mean?

Lynn opened her mouth as I was tilting my neck.

Wasn't it smelly after taking a bath for a while?

Ah... yeah, that's a theory.

"Let's get out of here..."

Laz muttered in a whisper. I know, Mr. Lin Lin sometimes does that.

”... and yet, there are so many bear gears (...)”

Lin Lin skewed the conversation, perceiving that it had become a subtle air.

It sounded nostalgic for bear gear. Were some people going to call the gear that was given to them "Anaguma"?

In front of us, there are tons of cave bear gear. Everyone who has finished their training will come to pick up this equipment one after another.

There are more than a hundred of them.

Six parts of the head, torso, hands, legs, feet, and fingers are aligned to reach all 20 or more participants.

The cave bear has a 150% defensive specialization. Since it is a hexagonal part, the vit of the equipment owner is 400%.

Well, I'm trying to improve everyone's defense and even their survival rate a little bit.

Ah, Mr. Lynn, this would be nice.

What's this?

It's a feather.

"... thank you"

We handed over only the champagny design feathers to Mr. Lynn, who did not need the cave bear equipment nowadays.

Looks like they're all in black except for the members of the Firth Test. It's nice to be able to identify them at the scene.

"Do I have to wear this...?"

If possible.

Ah, yes.

I don't think so, but do you hate it? No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. No, no, no, no, no, no

Alright, tomorrow is finally the real thing, so let's go to bed early today.

"Shit. We all eat cutlet bowls for dinner, and there's nothing else we can do about it."

"Do you mean waiting for your destiny with the best of your ability in human resources?"

It's been two months.

I can say with confidence that I'm ready.

There is a little more room than the line originally envisaged. Specifically, Zero Ring's support and everyone's unexpected growth are two things.

Especially because Masamune has mastered turning too big. The fewer people who can ignore the problem of travel distance, the better.

What's left to do... is to decide which table will be chosen and which occurrence point will be chosen.

If Table B with the highest difficulty or Table H with the next highest difficulty were chosen, it would be a bit of a struggle.

Honestly, there is no big difference between the four occurrence points anywhere. Speaking of greed, I'd rather be near the Castle Kingdom or the Marvel Empire. The soldiers of the Kingdom of Orange and the Republic of Dizzart are slightly less skilled than their counterparts.

Now, what will happen? I'm looking forward to tomorrow at 10: 00.

I'll... make some final adjustments before I go to bed.

"- Hey, that's depressing. Sit down."

I-I 'm sorry.

The morning of the stampede.

We are all waiting in the great hall of the inn-style mansion.

When Jerez wandered to the right and left, he was restless, so he told him to sit down, and this time he began to suffer from poverty.

"Ahh, ahhh..."

Shelley leaves her seat in some frustration, wondering if she can't stay still. Is it the bathroom again? As far as I can see, it's the third time I've left my seat. This restlessness is very similar to that of my brothers and sisters.

... or, if you look closely at everyone, there are overwhelmingly few who are calm.

I wonder what's going on here.

Well, it's Choba, so you'll get used to it while you're doing it.

Second, you're quite calm, aren't you?

Masamune spoke to me as I drank the tea after breakfast.

Oh, Masamune, that's normal for you too.

I see? Actually, I'm thrilled to see it like this.

Really?

Do you want to touch it and check it out?

Seems like it's true.

"... sorry, that was an unusual joke."

I didn't expect Masamune to make that kind of joke. This is pretty nervous.

"Still, that's amazing. I'm impressed again." Everyone in the Firth Test seems to be calm. ”

No, no, no, no.

Masamune's unexpected point made me completely deny it.

No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, nobody's as calm as Eco and Laz.

"Sylvia doesn't want to be hardened into a cock and make a motion." The cats are overthinking and trembling. Was Renko unable to sleep last night? Alpha has glasses, and I don't know her expression, but if she's bad, she might be half-vesoed. "

"Ohh... you're looking at the stone."

Yeah, I guess so.

Is it okay for a second like that to have only one yukata?

What's the point of equipping it now?

"... certainly"

By the way, Laz and Lynn would change their gear when it was their turn.

For some reason, everyone except the Reincarnation Team was already fully equipped and stunned to the feathers. It's too early, isn't it? It's not even 10 o'clock yet, and we're scheduled to start at 13 o'clock at the earliest.

"Take your time, Masamune." I've been exerting myself from now on, so I'm going to be exhausted in real life. "

That's true, too.

Masamune sat down next to me as he took off some of his gear, apparently convinced me.

Some of the people who were watching it likewise took off their gear and seemed to have regained a little calm.

... oh, while you're doing that, the event timer starts counting down.

Event starts at 10: 00 in one minute.

It would be funny if Stampede didn't happen.

"Five... four... three... two... one..."

Because it is a corner, I suddenly try to count down from five seconds ago.

Everyone was reacting in a daze and quietly staring at me with a nervous face.

”0... here we go”

When I said it, everyone nodded silently.

Immediately thereafter - successive reports began to arrive.

This is a report from the servants who had been waiting for you at the origin point in various places.

…………

I look at everything... and inadvertently shut up.

No, but we have to accept it.

"Listen to me, everybody."

In the meantime, we have to share.

"The table is" H. "It occurs four times: south of the Bitter Valley, southeast of Lake Vanilla, west of the port town of Coola, and east of the imperial capital of Malmö."

It was a monster of armor with a long sword. Definitely, table H.

The table of the highest difficulty was avoided. But the next point has come.

Places are lucky in misfortune, three in the Castal Kingdom and one in the Marvel Empire. Not a bad placement.

Now, in this case...

“South of the Bitter Valley, we have soldiers led by Steam Frontier and Count Lumberjack. Starting at 13: 00, take Alpha, Baileys, Lily, Jerez, Rossman, and Rock 'n 'chair.”

Distribute your forces as planned.

Me and Sylvia, Eco, Laz, Lynn, Masamune, Vogue, and Sherry have mastered turning, so we plan to move around and be flexible.

“To the south-east of Lake Vanilla, the First Knights led by Klaus and the First Court Magic Division led by Eileen. Starting at 13: 00, go to Nova, Cubelo, Elle, Rave, and Prince.”

Nova is on the scene in case of an outbreak in the Kingdom of Orange. We have to bring them back later.

“From the west, the port city of Kula will be served by the Court Magic Division led by Commander Zephyr and the Second Knights Group led by the Temporary Deputy Knight Commander Garam. Starting at 13: 00, you will be asked to meet with Renko, Gloria, Eve, Muratti, and Karen.”

Oh? By the way, I haven't seen Muratti for a while, but... I don't know, he's got a much braver face than before.

“The Imperial City of Malmö is served by the Imperial Guard, led by General Cigarone, and the Knights Guard, led by Knight Guardian Nato. Starting at 13: 00, you'll be joined by Acorns, Champagny, Cosmos, Alfred, and Mixed Sisters.”

It's really not a bad arrangement. The ideal distribution of combat power in the current situation was achieved.

The rest is how violent Table H is going to be.

Table H is also known as the Revenant Corps.

A monster like an armored soldier with no contents marched in line.

Well, that's why I'm talking about it.

Alright! Then...

Of course, there was a strategy. Everyone already knows that. It was two months for that.

― ― Rest till noon ~

I heard a rattling sound, which everyone could hear.

Bitter Valley South.

Located south of the Bitter Valley Fortress, the base of the Steam Frontier Fort, there was a stampede.

"From the predicted point of occurrence, a humanoid monster is heading south towards the commercial city of Reñado!" That number is more than three hundred! "

"Yes, table H, I see." Then it will hit from the southwest side as planned. I'll timed it with the Lumberjack uncle on the southeast side, so it's on training schedule. "

The team received a report from the scouts and issued a prompt order.

Everything from the type and number of monsters that emerged from the occurrence point at the time of the occurrence is as received from the second. Therefore, there is no confusion. For two months, I did my best to use this material as a basis. The PvP version of the "trail" was already complete.

"The only remaining problem is that it's very simple..."

The steam muttered in front of the soldiers and monsters facing each other.

The problem was clear. But there's nothing we can do about it now. I've gone to the bottom for the last two months... but I don't know if it's enough.

In a nutshell, it's "strength." Whether a soldier is strong enough or not, how strong is the monster? Even if you read and understand the material, you often don't know until you actually try to fight it.

"Please--"

Just before the soldiers and monsters collided, the steam suddenly prayed.

I've never prayed in human-to-human wars before.

That doesn't mean you believe in God.

The more that man felt like he was praying... the army of monsters in front of him seemed too threatening.

"--wow!!"

Someone screamed.

It was the first soldier to come into contact with a monster.

Immediately after, I saw something dancing in the sky.

It was the soldier's right arm.

"Retreat!!"

The steam raises its voice.

I immediately decided that it was impossible to push in with a white soldier's battle.

"Sorcerers, cover us!" Archers, prepare to attack! "

It was barely within my expectations.

Melee combat is the best way to hold them down, but if it's too difficult, it's better to switch to killing them with ranged attacks. Whether you can confirm it or not, the steam convinces itself.

"... because it's simple, it's difficult to solve"

Concerns were raised in the debate.

The problem is simple. That's why the steamers wanted to hold their heads in Russia.

It was still -- "10 o'clock."

I heard that the monsters that emerged become stronger every hour.

All right.

The enemies' legs stopped as the Sorcerers barrage.

Then, the rain of the silver general's bow shot by the archery team put a number of monsters to death.

There are still no ranged attacks from the enemy. If this situation persists, the steam has decided that we can push in with only a ranged attack, and they have ordered the attack to continue.

"Oh dear, how about the rest of it...?"

Compared to other occurrences, the steam team has a larger number of soldiers but a lower level of practice.

Proficiency may have been many times more important than numbers.

If so, the lack of firepower must be compensated by tactics, and the team renews its determination.

Still, if nothing happens...

I may not be able to say that it is preserved.
