Chapter 340 – Like the Claws of a Platypus (4)

“In conclusion… I think you can get support. Lord Havel said he would send the Silver Knights even if it was difficult.”

“Oh… ! That’s great!”

“The problem is that even if we leave now, it will take quite a while to arrive.”

“Even if you teleport to the vicinity of the Great Forest, you have to travel inside by yourself. Can’t you use Nidhogg?”

“It meant that it took quite a while to write.”

“Ah.”

Come to think of it, it took us about three days to get here too. Speed ​​is important, but I can’t wait a few more days leisurely. Even at this moment, the army of ugly prosperous will be increasing.

“So, I made a plan to leave first and join the locals… How would you like it?”

Saying so, Milone hands over a document.

The contents of this plan were written in an easy-to-understand and well-organized manner.

Roughly summed up, we arrive first and use the Nidhogs to hit and run to keep the enemy in check without loss as much as possible.

Then, the World Tree, which received Nidhogg’s information, will send the belatedly arrived reinforcements exactly to where we are.

“This would be better. It’s the same that if you wait, the power will be replenished, but the number of people over there will be much larger.”

“Yes. I thought so too, and made a plan… In any case, it was the Duke of Lindelheit who would eventually go to the battlefield, so I asked for his intention. If you’re okay, I’ll proceed as is. Please accept this.”

“Huh?”

Milone handing over a wooden plaque that feels spiritual energy. Looking closely, the pattern of the World Tree is elaborately engraved.

“This plaque symbolizes my agent. Quite a few people will move without much complaint. The problem is Sir Grimhill, an Auror Expert, and Cardinal Tumilla, a high priest…”

“Cardinal Tumilla is the Priest of the Circulating Life. Then you will not set an edge on me.”

“It just happened that you were blessed by the circulating life. Then again, the problem must be with Lord Grimhill.”

“If that’s the case, leave it to me.”

Iris, who had been listening quietly, interjected, sticking her head out.”

“Iris? What are you going to do?”

“It’s not a big deal, I just saved Grimhill’s grandfather during the height of the Great War. If you ask for help as if paying off the debt then, it will be all right.”

“…”

“? Why are you looking at me like that, master?”

“Your father and not your grandfather?”

“Is there something wrong?”

“No, there is no problem, but should I say that I felt the difference in age. Anyway, that’s it, old man.”

“Oh, don’t call me old man!”

Iris jumped around saying that she would just sing it normally. She pressed the small crown of her head to calm her down and turned to Milone.

“Is this resolved?”

“… That’s right, I’ll prepare Nidhogg right now.”

“When can we leave?”

“Perhaps tonight will be enough. I told the others, but be careful about conditioning.”

“Don’t really worry about that.”

Thanks to the favor of the sun god and the elixir made from the ingredients of the World Tree, it became a body that was not easy to get tired of.

***

Do you know that A male platypus is said to exude venom from her claws when she is in heat.

Poison to mammals. Even the poison is so strong that it can send a small dog to the goal.

What an amazing creature it is. To think that such a blow could come from that small and cute appearance.

How many creatures have perished under that secret and insidious venom.

I can assure you, there is no creature more terrifying than the platypus.

“… Are you saying that such creatures really exist?”

Dark basement. Helena tilted her head from the inside of the Needhog boarded with the people gathered this time.

Is it an innate temperament? Or is it something like the characteristics she acquired after becoming a righteous saint of light?

Even underground, where the only light was luminescent moss attached to the tree roots, Helena’s appearance seemed to glow.

It’s not a figurative expression, but is it really good alone?

Of course, it might simply be because I can find Helena right away, no matter how many people I’m among.

“Really. They say that such a strange creature lives far away from here.”

“No matter how you think about it, it doesn’t look like a naturally occurring animal. Or, is it not a chimera created by some crazy alchemist in the past?”

“Uh… It’s not a chimera because it reproduces once, right? … Instead, it lays eggs.”

“Mammals lay eggs? Don’t lie, brother. No matter how ignorant I am, I know very well that I cannot do that.”

“Because it’s real…”

“Yes, brother, if you want, count it like that. So? What were you trying to say?”

“Just… Aren’t we just feeling that way right now?”

Although the circulating life remaining on the ground is a little annoying, the opponents are the elves who are weak in sexual desire.

Even if we can’t do anything about the world tree, we pat in front of those who think that Alfheim itself will be as easy to eat as eating cake! It will appear

“You must have thought that there might be resistance. But you wouldn’t have expected me to come.”

“You are saying that your very existence is a contradiction between cultists. In fact, I felt that way until now, but…”

“It doesn’t just feel like that, it really is. I will prove it from now on, so can you bring the people together?”

“You’re trying to tell the story of that bizarre creature…”

“No. But… You need to know how to fight the ugly forces of prosperity.”

When Helena stepped forward and called the people together, everyone gathered politely, albeit a bit late.

Grimhill, who only sighs when he sees Iris, but listens well anyway, and Cardinal Tumilla, who focuses on Helena and me with a friendly attitude. And the rest of the people gathered quietly, looking at me, as if the greeting I showed them was impressive.

She made a small podium with her feet, as if mimicking what Milone had done the other day.

She climbed on top of it and looked at the crowds, smiling.

“Everyone knows the rough outline of the operation, right? I mean hit and run. Then, from now on, I will tell you how to attack the ugly prosperity.”

“Strategy… ? Are you talking about weaknesses?”

He nodded his head at Grimhill’s questioning, who still had a puzzled look on his face.

“You have to tell us about your weaknesses. But besides that, I would like to tell you about the habits and opponents of the main monsters, the effectiveness of powers and how to deal with them, and finally, the characteristics and patterns of high-ranking cultists to be aware of.”

“Do you know what he is talking about? It’s kind of like a military secret. You won’t be able to figure it out with your hands using ordinary methods… Could it be that you planted a spy?”

“No way. The fanaticism of the cultists is not normal, so how can you inject a spy? Even if he melted somehow, he would be brainwashed and turned into a spy on the other side after a while.”

“I’m glad you know that.”

“But you can know everything. Let’s listen.”

Having said this, Grimhill nodded, unable to say anything more.

Seeing that, she grinned and raised the corners of her mouth.

“First, let’s start with the monsters. As everyone knows, the main monsters are goblins and demons. Among them, goblins are very obsessed with smells.”

“Hmm. A common story. When dealing with goblins, pay attention to the smell… It’s common sense even a novice adventurer knows.”

“That’s right. But do you know what kind of smell you like?”

“… I’m not sure, it’s like a rumor, but I know you like the smell of women.”

“You’re right. That’s true. As you know, goblins have an extremely large male population, and they are blessed with ugly prosperity, so they always suffer from frustration. So, if it smells like a woman, I can’t use it.”

If it gets worse, he likes it to the point that the formation he has made will collapse and run wild. Unless you don’t know if a top-level entity like the Goblin King or a high-ranking priest of ugly prosperity directly stops it, it can’t be calmed down in the slightest.

“I knew you were sensitive to smells, but that much?”

“Of course, I don’t react so violently to just about any smell. It reacts severely only to liquids that are fermented by mixing female urine with hallucinogenic mushrooms and other ingredients.”

“Crazy! Are you planning on collecting the urine of the women here? Shame aside, even if we collect them until we arrive, the amount won’t be too much.”

“Even if I collect it now, it is meaningless because there is no time to ripen it. … So I made it in advance. Fortunately, I had something I usually carry.”

“What?”

Eyes were staring down at me asking why I was carrying around something like female urine on a daily basis, but I was proud.

Monsters like goblins that were unnecessarily numerous remained on the ground even after the Great War ended.

Of course, the population was much smaller than before the War of the Gods, and goblins were at best treated as harmful birds if they didn’t form a group. .

Before I met Carla, I was more of an asshole than that.

No matter how many magical tools and potions he carries around, if he is unlucky, he could be killed by a goblin sword!

So, I just stocked up on a few bottles of goblin-attracting perfume (?).

Really. Isn’t it because you have strange tastes?

That’s why I want you to open your eyes wide and don’t make a determined expression.

I shook my head desperately at my party and looked ahead again.

“The number is not that large, so we can only share one per person. Use it deliberately.”

“There are enough of them, but…”

Ignoring Grimhill, who had a shy expression, handed out bottles the size of a finger one by one.

Time almost stops in the inventory, so there’s no risk of getting damaged. … No, in a sense, has it already been spoiled?

“I just got a drug that makes goblins crazy, but it’s a waste to use it just to lure or disrupt formations. So we’re going to throw this at Yinma.”

“I’m thinking of making each other horny.”

“That is correct. Hmmm, they just frown at the nasty smell, but the goblins are going crazy. And as you all know… Inma is both a succubus and an incubus. In other words, either way looks like a living hole to the goblins.”

“Civil war… ! It could start a civil war!”

“You’re right. It is true that we do not have enough personnel, putting aside the power of each individual. So let’s use whatever is available.”

A distraught goblin attacks Emma. Either kill the goblin as it is, treat it politely, or just subdue it without killing it.

What is certain is that each other’s power is weakened.

Having said that, a faint admiration lingered in Grimhill’s blunt expression.

“At first I thought it was crazy, but I had an idea!”

“Of course. You don’t have to fight fair and square against cultists, right? Even if it’s Archbishop level or higher, it won’t work… At least you can fight without worrying about miscellaneous guys.”

“Awesome. I wish I could give this tactic a name for future use, but do you have anything in mind?”

“Uh, um…”

I couldn’t think of a suitable name, so I gave the name of the strategy that the users had giggled with each other during the H&A days.

“Don’t fight and be nice?”

“…”

Somehow, the gaze returned to me as if I was looking at a madman again.

I’m sorry
