Of course, the half-nymph Viola and Lyle-sensei traps that produce poisoned grass on wells are also being utilized in this war.Visit no(v)eLb(i)n.com for the best novel reading experience
From the territory of the Lauren Knights to the City of Spike, the soldiers and horses must have drunk a lot of poison but no one fell.
It seems like the empire has switched its focus in supplying antidote potions.
Does that mean that there are people in the empire that know about it?
The cause of the mysterious plague has not yet been discovered to be nymph poison.
They still dont know what kind of poison it is until now because no one had thought it to be the curse peculiar to nymphs.
However, even if the cause is unknown, they knew from the previous battles that it can be treated with antidote potions.
There are logistics officers in the empire who know what they are doing.
In addition to the 70000 troops, there are also horses. They will never be able to procure enough recovery potions for them so it makes sense.
However, not being able to stop them hurts a lot.
The empire is also in a total attack mode to bring forces that you would normally leave behind to control your country. They are desperately advancing their troops to end this as soon as possible.
So, as the imperial troops made their way to the City of Spike, they were stopped by a large number of monsters from the Oracles Great Cave.
It wasnt enough to hurt them but it wasnt something they could ignore either.
If Oracle-chan, the dungeon master, were here, she would probably lament that this is an evil way but this place is currently in automatic management.
As the avalanche of ogres and goblins made their way out of the dungeon, the volunteer corps and the knights of Viscount Oracles domain lurked in a hidden room, watching.
Oi, quack captain. Are the imperial troops really coming this far?
A female knight, Dross Tocord, wearing full plate armor in the service of Viscount Ortholet, asks a niichan, a brown-haired man in leather armor, who is scouting the outside of the dungeon using the viewing window next to him.
Dross-oneechan, stop calling me a quack and let me remind you that my name is Mars!
The brown-haired niichan, who looks like a punk, is the general of the Oracles Great Cave Siege Army of less than a thousand men.
He is the son of the village chief of Ona Village, where the base camp of the volunteer army is located. He has been given the title of first captain of the volunteer corps.
However, for the odd reason that he is cheerful and has a loud voice, he has become the leader of the ex-local troops of the Ona Village, and every one of them is now a veteran.
He is the son of the village chief, and even though he is their captain, he has an open and honest personality which makes him a surprisingly capable general.
You are the one who should stop being a sissy. This sister is a proud knight.
Im a proud captain too. And let me remind you, I was personally appointed by Hero Takeru-sama.
The black-haired female knight signs when she sees the brown haired punk laughing proudly.
From a knights point of view, the battle of the young volunteer army looks like peasant children playing.
