Translator: NovelMultiverse | Editor: NovelMultiverse

Five hundred soldiers and knights were lined up in front of the castle gate.

In front of the line of soldiers were Harold, the chief soldier, Takeo, and Alice.

“Well… what are you going to do after this?”

Alice asked.

“Well, what do you want to do, Takeo?” Harold also asked.

“What? Me? well let me think.

The Knights will be tired, so I don’t want them to push themselves too hard.”

“Hmm, don’t underestimate my men.

That’s not a problem.” Harold said.

“Is that so? Hmm…

How are the soldiers?” Takeo asked.

“As I thought, the recruit platoon and the mage platoon are exhausted.

Other than that, the rest of the platoons are mostly operational.” the chief soldier replied.

“Well… can I make the decision then?” Takeo asked.

“Yes, of course.”

“Very well, sir.”

Harold and the chief soldier said.

“Well, I guess we’ll have to finish this for now.”

“Oh, yes.

Well then, I guess the chief soldier and I will go back to the line then.”

Harold and the captain return to the line.

“…. hmm?”

“What’s wrong?”Alice asked.

“No… I just thought Harold would wrap it up,” Takeo said.

“What? No, he wouldn’t.”

“Well then… Miss Alice?”

“What? Takeo-sama is going to do it, aren’t you?

You did make the plan.”

“…Me? Me?”

“Yes.”

“I’m Miss Alice’s subordinate, aren’t I?”

“Well, as your boss I’ll give you an order then. Wrap this up.”

“Okay.”

Takeo thought to himself, “Isn’t that odd?”

Then he stood in front of the soldiers.

“Chief soldier, give me a status report.”

“Yes! Currently, there are no enemies that can move in front of the castle gate.

All 300 of the deployed soldiers are safe.”

“Harold, report the current situation.”

“Yes!

We’ve confirmed that all 200 deployed troops are safe.”

“Understood.

This concludes the battle at the castle gate!”[Read this novel and other amazing translated novels from the original source at the “Novel Multiverse dot com” website @ novelmultiverse.com]

“””””” Waaaaaaaaaaaaaa ！！！！”””””

The soldiers who were lined up shouted with joy.

Each one claps his sword and shield or claps his hands.

And then, gong, gong, the six o’clock bell rings.

The cheering stopped when the bell finished ringing.

“Well now let’s get rid of the small work”

As Takeo said this, I felt the atmosphere around me grow dull.

Should I not have said that? Takeo regretted saying it, but he already did.

“It’s still daytime, isn’t it? Let’s work hard.

Let’s start with you, chief soldier.”

“Yes!”

“Three platoons at the back gate, 60 men, over here. In their place, the 10th, 15th, 16th, and 17th platoons should guard the back gate.

The rest of you will be handling the goblins and other corpses.

There is a possibility that some of them are still just unconscious.

Please reconfirm their deaths before disposing of them.

Also, please make sure to deal with them in groups of several.

I’ll leave it up to you how to do it.”

“Yes sir!” Chief soldier said.

“Well, Harold.”

“Yes!”

“Earlier, when I asked you if the knights were tired, thinking I should give you all a rest, you said, ‘This is not a problem for my men.'”

When Takeo said that, all the knights looked at Harold… Few of them were glaring at him…

“So, please search every 10km around this city and check for goblins and other threats.

If you happen to miss any, you are invited to a training exercise organized by me and Miss Alice.”

The word “training exercise” that Takeo said made not only the knights but also the soldiers jump in fright.

“That’s the end of the message.”

“salute to Kitamizato-sama and Alice-sama!”

The 500 people in line saluted.

Takeo nodded.

“Dismissed!”

With a shout, everyone starts to move.

“It’s decided.”

Takeo reported to Alice.

“Yes, thank you for your hard work.

What are you going to do, Master Takeo?”

“There’s something that’s bothering me, so I’m going to go check it out.”

“Hmm? What is bothering you?”

“During the first bombardment, when we were about 150 meters away…

There was a glow around the waist of the Ogre in the center.”

“I didn’t notice it…”

 “Maybe I’m wrong about this, though.

So I shot the glowing ogre, and the crowd stopped marching for a moment.”

“…That’s suspicious.”

“Yeah, well… we probably won’t know the cause, but we’ll check it out just in case.”

“I see… Do you want me to come with you?”

“No, I’m sure you won’t mind.

No, I’m sure you’ll be fine. Please go back to the house and take a bath.

The dust is ruining your pretty face.

I’ll go back to the mansion and change my clothes as soon as I check if anything is still there.”

“Hmm? Are you going out again, Master Takeo?”

“Yes, I’m going on a date with the fruit and vegetable shop lady I met yesterday.”

“…Oh, the young lady that was waiting for Master Takeo, wasn’t it?”

Alice thought for a moment and then said as if she remembered.

“Yes. I’ll go check it out quickly so I don’t miss my date.”

“I understand. I’ll go back first.”

Alice went back to the mansion.

Takeo saw her off and took another look at the battlefield.

“Well… I wonder what’s left…”

He held his rifle at the ready and went in search of the ogre whose waist was glowing.[Read this novel and other amazing translated novels from the original source at the “Novel Multiverse dot com” website @ novelmultiverse.com]
