Pioneering the Apocalyptic World - Chapter 84

Chapter 19: Blowing off steam in the name of stress relief

“How many they are! What’s their composition!?”

“There are more than fifty as far as we can see! There are mainly goblin riders, but also archers and mages!”

Many people have gathered in the hall in front of the village chief’s— Tigar-san house, listening to the reports of those who seem to be watchers.
The attack is coming from the north-northeast direction. It seems that the attacks of monsters in the last few years are coming from roughly the same direction. When things like this often happens, of course, I think they have already sent some scouts to know what’s going on ahead … Let’s ask when things calm down.
The composition of the monsters seems to vary from occasion to occasion. Sometimes it’s full of goblins like this time, but sometimes it’s mixed with orcs, ogres, dire wolves, garms and bicorns.
It should be noted that, Goblin Rider is a general term for goblins that ride on some other monster, and they often ride on wolf-type monsters, the ones that are coming now is exactly like that. In rare cases, there is also the case of riding a bird-type monsters and attacking from the sky.
Speaking of goblins, I think that they are often drawn as a major small fry monster, but their levels are high and there are many subspecies, so you can’t let your guard down. A typical example is Goblin King with command ability.
The attack this time is a good example, no matter that’s almost the evening, they are moving before the sun goes down—In the Creator God’s time, from the point that they can already move, It can be said that they are already stronger than normal goblins. Since they are coming in large numbers, the level of danger increases even more.

“From the first to the fifth, get on horseback and prepare to intercept! The sixth will stand by at the defensive line in case they slip in! The remaining ones, be ready to receive the wounded at any time! Don’t forget to be vigilant to the other directions!”

After sharing the situation, the villagers disperse according to Tigar-san instructions. Their movements were smooth and without hesitation, so for better or for worse, they must have gotten used to it.
And in this village, except for small children (that looks like they are under ten years old), most of them will participate in the battle. I can see that children about the same age as Uru are also preparing. If it’s a situation where they can’t survive without mobilizing that much, I think that is everything is already going downhill, but… For some reason, I have an image that’s because this is a ‘village of warriors’. From what I can see from their princess, they custom of putting power as the number one priority…

“Miko-sama, I’m also going to intercept them, so you’re stay??”

“No, I will cooperate too, of course.”

I’m not that strong, but I’m not so weak that I have to retreat and be protected. …… Should be. I wonder how strong Eris is in this village…?
Well, there’s no need to fight foolishly honest with a single weapon like that time. I have plenty of arrows and items.

“… I appreciate your help.”

Tigar-san gave us the OK, but I don’t have the confidence to cooperate with the people of this village, so I thought the three of us would be treated as guerrillas, but just as I thought so.

“… Rion, can I go on a rampage?”

“Uru?”

Uru asked me quietly, but with a flame inside.

“I’m really, really stressed.”

“Umm……”

She seems to be restless as she taps the ground with her tail while waving her hands.
Is it my fault? While breaking into a cold sweat on the inside, while smiling wryly on the surface, I gave her permission because there was no particular reason to stop.

“… Don’t get the villagers involved, okay?”

“I know that much.”

While saying that, Uru turned her back to us and ran to the entrance of the village in the north.

“Wait, it’s dangerous to go alone! Join a unit somewhere??”

Eris, who was also preparing for battle, hurriedly intervened, but Uru either didn’t hear her or ignored her, and continued running without stopping.

“Rion, Regulus, why are you taking it easy! We have to catch up with her quickly!”

She urged us to hurry as we saw her off slowly, but Regulus scratched his head as if he was confused as to how he should respond.

“Ah, you don’t have to worry about Uru-nee-san.”

“What are you saying—”

“Well, well, calm down.”

After calming down Eris, who was trying to argue further, I grinned.

“Our maximum strength… Take a closer look.”

…… Well, only Uru’s strength that’s special, but I won’t say that part.

The Uru’s battle cam be described with just the word ‘overwhelming’.
You should call it a trampling rather than a battle.

I thought it would be bad for me to leave things to her and stay in the back, so I went to the defense line of the village with my bow out, but.
There was also the group on horseback that seemed to be an interception unit, including Tigar-san, but they stopped without charging and were simply stunned, watching the battle. You guys won’t going to fight? I would like to say that to them…. But, well, if they are like this, I don’t have to worry about them getting involved, so the result is all right… Is it?

Don! With a loud sound, the ground was gouged out, and the Goblin Riders… The things that were them was scattered around.
Even when the Goblin Archers fires arrows, but they can make a wound, sometimes the shot arrows are grabbed and thrown back, and they end up having their heads blown off.
The Goblin Mages hits her with a fireball, scattering explosive flames, but… She emerges from the smokescreen almost unharmed, and with a fist strike leaves a hole on their torsos.

Even if they are mere goblins, they were more than fifty?maybe close to one hundred?group. Numbers are power greater than anything.
…… It was supposed to be.

It’s not like the goblins are fighting one-on-one. They encircle her with their numbers, launch attacks in turns, and rain arrows and magic.
However, even if she was attacked from behind, she avoided it as if she had eyes on her back, and on top of that she guided them to attack each other.
Just when I thought that the encirclement was broken by the one point breakthrough by Uru’s quick rush, she picked a goblin corpse and took a full swing, mowing down the surrounding area.
In the midst of such confusion, if they shoot an arrow, it will naturally hit a friend, and as for the magic, just before it was activated, they had their arms twisted and pointed at a place where their friends were crowded.
The goblin army was completely at the mercy of Uru.
In addition, some of the relatively calm goblins were heading towards the village where it would be easier to fight, but I shot them through with my bow. Uru is so overwhelming that no one is seeing me and I feel a little lonely.

By repeating, ripping and throwing goblins away, the number of goblins decreased in an instant, and the goblins were annihilated in no time.
There were some goblins who tried to escape, but they were also annihilated by stone throws without fail.

The monsters around us have disappeared, and I tried to go and say thank you to Uru who was basking in the setting sun while turning her shoulders.
I noticed that the body of Eris, who was right next to me, was trembling.
…… C-Could it be, Uru was too strong and became a target of fear, I prepared myself mentally and physically. Regulus and Lieze were also scared for a short period of time… Though it was also because of her Rage Mode.
However… The words that popped out next made me doubt my ears for a moment.

“… That child, I want her…”

“………… Aaan?”
