YM778.TV Chapter 311
Chapter 311
Humans were starting to amass in front of the sectors facing the Gifu Prefecture.
“They’re not attacking, huh?”
“The humans definitely want us to surrender…maybe they’re trying to apply pressure?”
“Pressure?”
“They want to make me call back Rina and the others…is what I could think of as their aim.”
“I see. So the humans aren’t really looking for a fight after the sudden attack by the Aster Empire…or something like that?”
“Their opinions might divert whether to use this as a good opportunity and challenge us, even while being ill-prepared, or whether they should get everything ready perfectly before attacking us at a normal timing.”
“So, what are you going to do?”“Hmm, let’s see…”
If the staring contest in front of my Domains continues like this, it’s not a problem, but…I think it’s extremely unlikely for that to happen. If they’re going to invade us, I’d like them to do it before getting their preparations in perfect order.
I mean, after an hour, the human combat forces will have grown even further, but our defenses will remain the same.
“I guess I’ll provoke them a bit.”
――Saburou! I’ll lend you 10,000 troops! Get ready to sortie!
“Roger!”
The humans are encamping the sectors 301 to 310. Sector 305 has the most humans waiting in front of it. On the other hand, sector 310 has the least.
――Saburou, sortie from the 310th sector! You’re not allowed to chase them too far! Just give the silly humans a light greeting from our side.
“Alright! I shall drive the dread of Team J――the strongest unit of the Aster Empire――into the hearts of the humans!”
――The humans likely don’t expect any attacks from our side. You’re forbidden to give useless speeches. Just go out there and deal with them as soon as possible!
“――Wh-!? I-I’m forbidden to speak…”
――You think I’m messing with you? Okay, Team J is dissolved. Instead, Izayoi will――
“Team J shall sortie at once! We will accomplish tonight’s operation with lightning speed and annihilate the enemy in no time!”
Team J, the 《Clowns》, led by Saburou departed to fight.
◆
― Saburou’s Point of View ―
Shion-sama’s voice lacked its usual composure. It looks like the operation this time comes with a fairly high grade of difficulty.
“I planned for us to flashily parade around the battlefield, but it cannot be helped, I guess…10th Calamity! Get ready for ranged attacks!”
“I will prepare…the Darkness Wave!”
The 10th Calamity, a former Elf Demon King, kneaded his mana alongside his elite subordinates who all excel in ranged attacks.
(It’S sHOwTIMe!)
――Wha-!?
The 10th Calamity and his men fired countless spells at the humans as soon as we heard the 1st Calamity’s telepathic message.
“Isn’t it my duty to call the shots!?”
(i PriORiTiZeD ShIOn-SaMa’S deMaNd)
“Wha-!? You say Shion-sama skipped me and ordered you directly, 1st Calamity!?”
(nO ThAt wAs mY oWN DecISiOn tEHe)
“Uuuuugh!”
“0th Calamity, I assign the duty of bringing death to all those harming the Aster Empire to you!”
“Uoooooohhh! 3rd Calamity, you come as well!!!”
“I won’t let a good chance to be recognized by Shion-sama slip away!”
“Ahahah, who am I going to turn into my toy today, hmm?”
“Tonight the seal binding my eye shall be released!”
“Dear humans, shall we have a dance?”
Using the opportunity of me being preoccupied with the 1st Calamity, my subordinates successively launched their attacks against the humans.
“Uuuoooh! Team J Commander-in-Chief――the Calamity of Demise――”
(Did you forget my order?)
T-The tone of this voice…!?
“――《Dark Night Tempest》!”
The storm of darkness unleashed by my hands engulfed the panicking humans. The enemy was immediately overrun after they didn’t know what to do thanks to the storm that appeared upon them all of a sudden.
◇
― Shion’s Point of View ―
Hmm, the preemptive attack is going well, I suppose.
I felt satisfied, watching the movements of Saburou’s group as it was displayed on my smartphone. Did the humans really believe that they wouldn’t be attacked after coming right in front of someone else’s home?
We succeeded in taking them by complete surprise.
“Now then, how are the humans going to move next? Will they head over to rescue their brethren who are being attacked by Saburou? Or are they going to start an invasion of my Domain? Or…are they going to prioritize their preparations?
As I muttered all this to myself…
“Hmm, according to my forecast…”
…the self-alleged strategist sure enough commented on it.
“Strengthen their vigilance…and stay like that, I’d say.”
“Hoh, why would they do that?”
“This time the humans are clearly moving as an organization.”
“The government must be calling the shots.”
“Right. The weakness of government people is that they can’t move if there are no orders from above.”
“It’s possible that they have a leader with the necessary authority to command on-site, isn’t it?”
“Assuming that would be true, they’d have already moved…their current movements suggest that they’re waiting on orders from above.”
“You might not be wrong here.”
It’s not very interesting, but this time my prediction aligns with Kanon’s. The human probably can’t keep up dealing with the invasion of the Aster Empire after its sudden attack.
Having said that, in the case of a government-related leader…they cannot handle it flexibly, but once they get going, they’ll become a troublesome opponent. The question will be how much of the enemy forces we will be able to chip away until the enemy’s command chain starts working.
――Saburou! Don’t rest your hands and keep overrunning the enemy!
――Izayoi! Depart from the 310th sector together with 10,000 subordinates! Get rid of the enemies outside!
I deployed another unit to deliver the final blow against the routed enemy.
