Volume 2 - Ch 31
Mia and I listened to the cries of the orcs being squashed after falling to the hole, and looked at each other.
These experience will be given to who? If they are given to the orcs who squash them then it will be bad.
If they evolve, it will become troublesome.
If the holes we dug end up allowing the orcs to evolve into elite orcs
Just thinking about it makes one feel irritated. But actually I do not know how elite orcs came to be.
Among the helpless orcs, a few due to lack of means, began to create a path into the left and right side of the forest. Perhaps it is to go around it to finish us off, but
Laments from the orcs came through the forest.
That was done by Tamaki and Arisu.
I had them hide in the left and right side of the forest, and wait until the orcs began to cut the grass that was as tall as them to enter, and then finish them off.
Hearing the tragic cries of their companions, the fear in the other orcs caused them to want to turn back, which can be said to be in a pinch.
Missile team, attack!
Hearing my command, the girls, who are apt at long range and are hiding on the trees on the left and right side of the forest, began to attack together.
The girls who have the Throwing Skill threw the plastic bags that had kerosene.
The plastic bag split open with a Pa sound when it hit the orcs head, and the kerosene in it sprayed over the orcs head and shoulders.
Next the fire magic users release fireballs.
Those fireball hit the orcs bodies, and sparks scattered.
The kerosene ignited, causing the orcs bodies to burn. The orcs who are covered in flames, rolled around on the ground in pain, causing even more chaos.
The girls who have throwing skills threw the spears and axes obtained from the orcs, further deepening the chaos midst the orcs.
Actually it will be better with archers, but we do not have the most important bow, hence no one chose the shooting skill.
If we can obtain bows and arrows, it means that the orcs have archers. If there are long distance hitters in the orcs camp, then our strategy will not hold, so I can only hope that such ranged weapons do not exist here.
Thats right, the basis of Shiki-san and my plan is that the orcs will always take melee actions.
Currently we can only confirm that the orcs weapons are spears, axes and swords.
Actually if we categorise it carefully, there will be more types
For example spears, there are roughly 5m and shaped sinisterly spears until those that are short enough to be called short spears.
There are various sizes for swords and axes, every one of them have something that is different.
And as for whether they will throw their weapons, the answer is definitely a yes.
The truth is that yesterday at the level 2 of the Cultivating Centre, I was nearly killed by the orc which threw a short axe.
Even so, as long as the basic movement of the orcs are melee combat, our tactics should be effective.
Currently there are a few orcs beginning to throw the axes and spears in their hands at the girls in the trees.
But the trees that they are on, are all very sturdy, as long as they hide behind it, they can dodge the majority of the attacks.

We are just trying to stop the enemies movement, increasing their chaos. I also commanded everyone to not push it too much.
Our real targets are on the ground.
Mia, you should take the chance to retreat and rest.
Mia nodded with ammm sound, and retreated to the courtyard in front of the Cultivating Centre.
Okay, we have successfully dampened the enemies spirit at the beginning, but next is the main show.
Shiki-san who replaced Mia, ran over.
Can you call out another wolf? I want it to go over to the left and right side of the forest as support.
I already have a wolf beside me, to ask me to call out another, is to let them enter the 2 sides of the forest separately to support Arisu and Tamaki?
Shiki-san has been using Detection Skill to erase her presence until now, and hiding in the forest scouting. Seems that she confirmed that the orcs will rush into the forest soon.
Because of the continuous battles, my MP is left with only 30, from just now I have been barely hanging on. If I summon another gray wolf, I will use another 9 MP.
But this concerns Arisu and Tamakis safety.
Understood, although the MP will be abit tight, but if its just one, it is still fine.
Please, Mighty Armwill be enough as buff.
I followed her instructions and only gave the wolves Mighty Arm before ordering them to enter the left and right side of the forest, to support Arisu and Tamaki respectively. The orcs are only repeating this process pushed forward due to the pressure from behind, then falling into the hole; or enter the 2 sides of the forest, then killed by Arisu or Tamaki.
In such a smooth situation, I was sent to the white room.
Arisu leveled up.
Arisu, Tamaki, how many did you 2 kill?
The 2 of them reported their spoils of war. If what they say is true, then the number of preys to the level up is not enough. The wolves result is not enough to cover the gap, in other words
Mia, the orcs that are squished to death after falling into your Earth Pit, seems to be considered your kills.
Hmm, such a nice design.
Mia raised her thumb. After we discussed briefly, then we return back to the original place.
Arisu: Level 7 Spear Skill 3Healing Magic 3 Skill Point 2
After returning from the white room, I confirmed the situation.
The intense battle is continuing in the frontline. The 3 girls used their spears and stabbed harshly at the orcs in the holes, and before long, their next prey will deliver themselves.
But they are a 6 person party, to level up to level 2, they have to defeat 13 orcs, to level up to level 3 they have to defeat 18
As I was thinking of this, the girls movements suddenly stopped. They leveled up.
We raised Spear Skill
The girl who is only level 1 until just now, said so. Hmmm, very good. Their spear skill are all Rank 2, and the skills at finishing of the orcs are becoming more trained.
With this, the 2 person who are originally level 2 will need to kill 6 more orcs to level up? Okay take it easy. I ask Shiki-san who is beside me:
Then again, did you discover the traces of elite orcs?
There are 3 at the back.
I bit my lip tightly. Only Arisu and Tamaki can hold back the elite orcs, in a 1 on 1 situation, they could at most buy some time.
If Weapon Skills raised to 4, then it will be easier to score a victory in a 1 on 1. But in the situation in front of us, they still have to rely on Mias magic as support.
Or perhaps I can use Reflection well
But this skill is not only harsh on the timing, and full of risk, I do not know if I can target correctly in the chaos of the battle.
Indeed I have to depend on Mia. But this is also restricted to the time when there is one opponent, dealing with 2 together is too harsh.
And now there are 3, along with a lot of underlings.
Wait a moment.
After Shiki-san finished, then she disappeared from my sight, seems that she used Detection Skill.
The short spear that flew out from the shadows of the tree, hit the stomach of the orc that is about to enter the forest.
The orc disappear like dew.
This moment Shiki-san also returned.
Now I only need to kill 1 more to level up.
To be correct, Shiki-san is still level 1, and she defeated an orc when hunting with me, so her current experience is 90, 30 points away from the next level.
Shall I keep the white room for now?
After all there is nothing to think about for now.
Hmm, thats right. The orc group is clustered together, in confusion. We should take this chance to reduce their numbers as much as possible.
Theres hope. Before the elite orcs appear, Arisu and Tamakis weapon skill may raise to Rank 4.
Luckily, there are many prey orcs for us to get experiences, but
At the frontlines, the 3 person who are using spears are staring down as the orcs who are separated by the trap.
The orcs who decided to go around the forest are also picked out one by one by Arisu, Tamaki and the familiar wolves, giving out dying cries. The orcs are all very stupid, hence there will definitely be ways to settle it, but if this carries on
When I realised it, I have already gone to the white room.
Mia and I leveled up!
Tamaki said so. Ah I see, they rose to level 5.
But the 2 of them currently only have 3 Skill Points, they need to raise their level by another before they can raise their main skill to Rank 4. According to calculations, Arisu will reach level 8 around the same time, and then Spear Skill will be Rank 4.
We have to defeat 24 orcs more.
Then, Arisu and I will *dash and rush over, then *bang to defeat a lot of orcs! Ah, Arisu, lets go!(TL note: * indicates sounds said by Tamaki)
With a face of excitement, Tamaki kept dancing around, and her golden-coloured ponytail jumped around like whips.
Argh Kazu-san
Arisu revealed a troubled look at me. Hmm, Tamaki has already lost herself to excitement, this fellow will probably fall due to gambling or something in the future.
Tamakis suggestion is currently rejected.
Eeee Why!
According to Shiki-sans report, there are 3 elite orcs.
Tamakis face turned blue.
Iif that so! Then isnt it more important to level up faster?
If we forced our way deep into the enemys camp to defeat the small fries, then when we meet the elite orcs, we will not only be in an exhausted state, we could be surrounded. I feel that dealing with the small fries and fighting with the elite orcs together is too difficult.
Dont get it wrong, even if weapon skill is Rank 4, we could at most go toe to toe with the elite orc.
I wish to let Arisu and Tamaki battle in the best state. For this fellow who disregard peoples good will, I have to give her a bit of punishment.
Tamaki, next time you leak, I will make you wear diapers to battle.
W..wait a moment, thats too much.
I looked at Arisu.
You should say something to her too.
Ah, erm, this okay! Argh Tamaki, not going to the toilet properly is not good?
I feel that the place to tsukkomi is not there.
For the sake of not letting Tamaki lose control, how should I advise her? Hmm I am glad that her spirits are high.
But regarding this Although it is only a prediction, I always have the feeling that because she had failure, hence she had the mentality ofneeding to make some achievements.
In the battle at the girls dormitory, Tamaki did not help and hence her mental wounds opened again. Perhaps because of this, she felt that she gave us some trouble.
She must be afraid that if she did not give a brilliant performance this time, then she will be abandoned by me and Arisu.
Perhaps she herself did not realise this.
If it is like this, no matter how we try to convince her, it will be hard to change her thinking.
What she needs now is confidence, hence I decided to change my thinking.
Mia, how many MP do you have left?
About 20.
I see, it is about the same as me? Should save the MP needed for casting Rank 2 Earth Magic Heat Metal thrice, for the sake of dealing with the elite orcs Hmmm, this method should be fine.
Please cast Earth PitandRampage Plant twice each.
Are you sure? This is a trump card?
As long as we defeat 14 orcs, I can level up. Arisu, Tamaki, follow my instruction. You two should bring the wolf and temporary leave the forest and return to my side.
I have already ordered the familiar wolves for them to listen to Arisu and Tamakis instructions. How much of their words can the gray wolves understand? Even though I felt some unease, but they have been cooperating well with the wolves for now. They should be able to pass the instruction to the wolves successfully this time.
Regarding the next battle..
I immediately continue to instruct everyone, according to what Shiki-san said, express myself with confidence, as thougheverything is in my predictions.
Arisu, Tamaki, wait until I leveled up, then I will use the remaining MP to strengthen you. Then I will leave the rest to you.
Okay, Kazu-san!
Mmm, leave it to me, Kazu-san!
I nodded to the 2 of them, expressingvery good And after discussing the details with Mia, we left the white room.
