Volume 1 - Ch 4
The first thing Kazuya decided to do whilst he was waiting for the second platoon to return. Was to check what ability and privilege he gained from defeating the other world man.
[Privileges]
Has only one of my privilegesincreased.
The privilegei stole hasnt increased much.(TLN: He got luck from the man, but its only average level)
[Abilities]
Complete healing
Peerless
()
Im thankful for the ability at the top, but the ability at the bottom.
Well, i wonder if its better than nothing?
Under peerless it shows () i wonder if it cant be read?
After Kazuya has finished confirming his abilities, hetilts his head as he wonders what it could mean. Suddenly, the soldiers who have finished their mission return home.
The first and second platoon have just returned!!
Youve been through a lot, rest easy
After the platoons return, Kazuya orders them to rest. From the soldiers who didnt go on the recon mission, he organises a platoon to travel to to the fort the ninth division found.
Well then, im going to go and see the fort now
Eh.? I? Master, I?
Ah, Chitose, please take over command in my absence. If i get into any trouble, ill ask for your support
Master.Please take me, i am your aide! Am i unnecessary for master!?
Her eyes grew dark as she becamesurrounded by a disturbing aura.
Oh.i didnt expect this..it seems like shes become a yandere.
No, thats not what i meant. The only reason i can freely leave is because i trust youenough to leave everything in your care
..somaster isnt deserting me.
Chitose smiled at Kazuya with a relieved look.
Then, ill be going
Yes, please leave the command to me!
Chitose responds with a smile whilst saluting.
When she turned into yandere mode so suddenly, i was surprised.
Luckily, the words Chitose murmured next did not reach Kazuyas ears.
does master not understandwhat would happen if he threw me away.? Fufufufu
The serious and threatening words of Chitose had already dissolved into the air before they were heard.
Then, the first platoon will sortie
Understood
After he calls the platoon together, he sets off for the fort.
Eh?is someone coming to welcome me?
Weve been waiting commander, the fort is this way
Soldiers from the ninth division met up with the platoon halfway and guided them to thefort.
Suddenly whilst walking, the forest opens up and a meadow spreads into view.
The fort was sitting in the centre of the meadow silently.
This.is definitely a fort. Its completely enclosed with a gate. The outside walls seem extremely strong, even though it is worn down
The fort seemed to be made completely from stone and wood.
However, how long has it been since it was abandoned? Ivy twines around the fort, its almost completely buried by it.
Ill call the head of the ninth division
After saying so, the soldier runs into the fort.
I wonder why the fort isnt on the map? Is it because it is abandoned?
Why is the fort even here?
The head of the ninth division walks up to Kazuya whilst he is thinking this.
Im sorry to have kept you waiting. As we have already searched and secured the fort, would you like to have a look inside?
Yes, i would like to confirm the inside myself
Then, please follow me
Kazuya entered the fort, whilst being guided by the head of the ninth division, Lieutenant Ibuki.
empty.
Furthermore, the majority of the rooms inside wereworn down.
Kazuya chose a room that appears to be the least degraded, he summons communication machinery so that they can contact headquarters at any time.
As hewanted to know if there were any concealed passages or doors, he ordered the platoon to conduct a more detailed search of the fort.
After around an hour, the entire fort had been thoroughly surveyed.
Kazuya received the report from the Lieutenant.
First of all, this fort is around 3 kilometres away from command. Its length and width is around 250 metres, the only entrance is the gate up front.Neither a concealed passage nor a door were discovered
Is that so? That could become a problem
Yes, it seems as though the previous inhabitants were removed by force
Kazuya, who was receiving the report from Lieutenant Ibuki peered outside.
He noticed that it was starting to get dark.
What time is it? Did we spend too much time searching the fort?
Kazuya saw the night sky through the window.
As he was not in a hurry to conclude his business, he decided to spend the night in the fort.
At night its very dangerous, the demons are most active at this time.
Kazuya thought about safety first and decided to spend the night in the fort.
He ordered a communications officer to relay that fact to HQ.
Because it is nightfall right now, we have decided to spend the night in the fort. Discussamongst yourselves the patrol rotation times. If you have to move about, do so with at least two people. Distribute combat equipmentfor night time use and walkie talkies, we will be leaving in the early morning
Various equipment was handed out, Kazuya summoned a tent and decided to take a rest.
Various things happened today, so he was tired.
Should i have made the lieutenant rest first?
Kazuya, whilst feeling tired, tells the lieutenant to rest and thengoes back to bed.
Whilst Kazuya was lying down, the lieutenant came to visit him.
Lieutenant Ibuki, is something wrong?
Kazuya asked the lieutenant whilst rubbing sleep out of his eyes.
You were resting, im sorry. It seems the patrol spotted moving shadows in the forest
What did you say!? please say that earlier next time
Kazuya quickly equips his armour and weaponry and rushes outside his room with the lieutenant.
Hemet up with the patrol shortly afterwardsandbegan to speak with one of the soldiers.
What do you have for me?
Themoving object is over there
After hearingthis, Kazuya peeked into the forest using night vision goggles.
Theres definitely something moving..but i cant see it clearly
Although he could see the forest with the night vision goggles, he couldnt see the moving object verywell.
Lieutenant, prepare for action
Understood
Shall we report this to command?
It has already been reported. I hear that the preparations for bombardment were completed ten minutes ago in case of an emergency
Good job Lieutenant
Thank you for the praise, Commander
After the conversation was over, the lieutenant issued an order to the 80 soldiers at the fort using a walkie talkie to prepare for combat.
We will put our entire strength into our combat formation! Close the gate to the fort. You are prohibited from firing unless ordered to do so! That concludes my report
Understood!!
Five minutes after Kazuyas instructions are relayed.
The platoon had blocked the front gate. Kazuya prepared someflare bombsto launch into the forest.
Fire them!
On that signal, in every direction, north, south, east and west. Two flares were fired for a total of eight, deep into the night sky.
The light from the bombs begin to illuminate the vicinity.
Ohthats not good
A large amount of monstersappeared from the forest, surrounding the fort.
I cant believe it. The scouts didnt encounter a single monster, where did they all come from?
Im sorry i dont understand, is the current situation bad?
The amount of demons surrounding the fort increased as the lieutenant asked this.
Goblins, Kobolds, Orcs. I think even an orc has come
All the demons who were approaching the fort were armed with rusty swords and clubs. They were also wearing worn out armour.
We cant run away now, were surrounded
Agreed, the only way to survive now is to annihilate the enemy
In total, Kazuya had around 80 soldiers. 20 in one platoon and 60 split between the two divisions.(TLN: Remember, he sent two divisions to the fort then brought a platoon to reinforce them)
8M2 heavy machine guns and ammunition set up. Along with 10 type 97 double barrelled machine guns, 5 type 2 12cm mortars and 10 type 89 grenade dischargers.
Even though we have a bombardment on standby, will it even be able to annihilate all the monsters? Even if we call for reinforcements now, they wont arrive until the morning..
Wait, because combat has not started yet, can i still summon weapons?
Unexpectedly, when Kazuya checked his menu screen, a strange text box appeared.
[Gods trial: Number 1]
Survive the demons attacks!
Total amount of enemies:
17,829
so this is the reason why there are so many demons.
Now its impossible to summon anything, damn it!! Why would you make such a trial you ridiculous God!! How is this an apology for accidentally killing me.
I cant believe it, what a waste of time God.
Instantly, Kazaya thought of a plan.
Lieutenant Ibuki, how long is it until morning?
Around 2 hours
It that so. Communications officer!! Request a bombardment at once. Also, request for reinforcements
Understood!!
The communications officer began a wireless communication with the command centre.
Itsalmost time.
The moment whencommunication with command was cut, Kazuyas preparations were complete. The nearby monsters raised a unified shout and surged towards the fort.
Ah, theyre coming!! Lets show them our strength!! We will survive!!
Ooooooo!
Kazuya stares at the approaching monsters. He raises his STG44 and aims at one of the running goblins, then pulls the trigger.
Thus the nightmare-ish battle began.
