“Aaaa!!!!!”

I quietly muttered as I looked at Pete, who was screaming and withering away.

“Fit cut.”

After killing Marona, I returned to the base camp, collected herbicides, a gas mask, and other members to defeat Pete, and headed toward his territory.

In fact, there were only two members, Philia and a small mid-level knight named Remi.

Originally, I was going to bring Liza with me, but the captain and unit commander couldn’t vacate the base at the same time, so I had to leave Liza behind.

Liza looked at me with an expression full of betrayal, but what can I do? Philia alone would be a hit.

As expected, defeating Pit was not very difficult.

Philia took the lead and cleared the path, and Remy and I just had to comfortably pass through the path sprinkled with the sap of the plant monsters.

However, Pitt’s resistance was stronger than expected. Pete was manipulating the entire forest and saying hell-bent on it, to the point where I thought he would have just been left behind if it weren’t for Philia.

As expected, home advantage cannot be ignored.

The resistance that lasted for a long time became weaker as the number of plants gradually decreased, and eventually a small gap was created. Remy took advantage of the gap and hit the vial of herbicide. It just screamed and withered away.

In that way, the subjugation itself ended neatly.

The problem arose when Philia took off her gas mask, saying that the subjugation was over.

Pete’s area was filled with a strong scent of fascination. There was no way the scent would disappear instantly even if Pete died, but Philia thought it was over without considering such things and took off her gas mask.

In the end, Fili quickly became addicted to the scent of fascination,

“Sniff. Sniff… .”

Right now, he’s sticking his nose into my body and smelling it.

I wanted to just shake it off, but it was holding my body so tightly that if I did it wrong, my bones might break, so I had no choice but to leave it like this until the scent expired.

‘Should I call it a blessing among misfortunes?’ .’

People who are addicted to Seductive Fragrance don’t really attack me. Just smell it.

If they tried to attack… . Wow.

“Hey, Mr. Zeke… .”

Remi, who has a timid personality, spoke to me.

“Yes. Why is that?”

“That… . therefore… .”

It was frustrating to see the female knight hesitating and not knowing what to do. Do you want to go to the bathroom at least?

“You may leave your seat. Filia will protect me anyway.”

“Oh, that’s not it… .”

“Then what is the reason?”

“……I’m out of gas mask cartridges.”

ah. Right. The gas mask’s purifier tank has run out.

If I don’t have a replacement cartridge, this timid Remy will get addicted and stick his nose in my body to sniff me.

No, why the fuck are you saying that now?

The next destination was Zot’s territory.

As we have seen before, Zots are insensitive and do not notice at all even if they roam freely within their territory. Thanks to this, even though the entire knights infiltrated Zot’s territory, Zot was still sleeping without the world knowing.

After that it was simple. Philia cut off Zot’s head, and the remaining knights spread out throughout the territory to eliminate the monsters.

After cleaning the area, wait for the Zott to play. Then Zot will rally his flock.

“Khahaha! human! You just walked into a pit of fire!”

Jot is a sick idiot.

If you gather troops from different locations, there will be a difference in joining time. Therefore, if you think about common sense, it is a reasonable tactic to designate a separate concentration point for troops, wait for a while, and then attack all at once to gain numerical superiority.

But can we really expect such common sense from this idiot? Even during the war, you were the one who forced the crowd into that narrow entrance just because it was open?

‘Is that possible?’

chuck-.

Observers raised their flags. This is a signal that monsters are attacking in small numbers.

How could it be so unexpected?

The monsters that attack in small groups are still more numerous than the knights, but it is not that difficult to deal with them. From the beginning, when fighting 1:1, the knights would overwhelm the monsters, but now that they are not strengthened with demon energy, they melted like soft tofu.

To voluntarily give up numerical superiority, which was our only and most lethal weapon.

You idiot.

Creep – Creep – Creep –.

Afterwards, Philia tore Zot into pieces again. So that no more orders can be given. To ensure that the worst order given just now is maintained.

After that, high-level knights who can cause significant damage to Zot gather together to cut down the regenerates that Zot regenerates, and Philia helps deal with the monsters and that’s it.

‘All that’s left is to deal with the hordes that keep coming, like stopping a zergling.’

It’s not like a game where 100 million people flock, so won’t it end by tomorrow evening?

Oh, it’s not tomorrow, it’s today.

I looked at the clock, which had already passed midnight, and waited endlessly for the annoying repetitive tasks to end.

“Mr. Zeke! Wake up!”

“…Ugh.”

When I opened my eyes, the sun was high in the sky. When did you fall asleep?

“…Are we finished?”

Liza nodded to my question. Judging by their bright expressions, it appears that there were no deaths or serious injuries.

“Everyone is ready to go back. All you have to do is prepare, Zeke.”

“What else can I prepare? I just came here.”

“The body has to be ready.”

Liza took my hand and dragged me. My body was lifted up with tremendous force, and she slapped my back.

“If you want to ride the hoverboard, you have to wake up a little.”

Hoverboard, a single-person vehicle that is often used in the Eastern Continent. As the name suggests, it is a device that moves while slightly floating off the ground.

Hoverboards can be used even in environments where it is difficult for cars to pass, their speed is quite fast, and because they use arc as a power source, they do not require separate fuel, making them a very useful means of transportation.

However, there are a few downsides. One is that the fuel economy is garbage, so ordinary people get exhausted after riding it, and the other is that the price is extremely expensive.

I was on fire when I suggested distributing this to the security department of the management bureau. Tanya is small, so why are her hands so spicy?

In any case, since the drivers had one of these expensive hoverboards per person, they were able to travel around this large area of the Eastern Continent relatively quickly.

Without this, it would have taken an entire day just to get to the boss’s territory.

“Phew… .”

I roughly warmed up. I moved dynamically to wake up, such as stretching and doing PT exercises.

Another disadvantage of hoverboards. Since it is for one person, there is only one fixing device. So, if you’re a loser like me, you have to hug the driver tightly to avoid falling.

The speed is so fast that if you lose strength even for a moment, you die. Riding the plane in your sleep is just like making suicide a little more complicated.

While I was trembling like crazy, a knight who had been watching from afar approached me.

“Wait a minute, commander. Aren’t you overdoing it?”

“Is it impossible?”

“You drove Zeke around all day today. On the way back, give way to others… No, it would be better to share the burden.”

Other colleagues also chimed in with the article’s comments.

“That’s right. Just enjoy the unit commander… No, you can’t force it.”

“Good or even hard things should be done together!”

At first glance, they all seemed like colleagues full of camaraderie who wanted to carry the military uniform of their unit commander, but hidden inside was a dark secret that they wanted to ride the hoverboard together with me and bond closely.

“What a burden. How difficult is it to just bring one more person on board? I’m fine, don’t worry.”

Liza has a refreshing smile and shows off her biceps muscles, as if she is still strong.

“Don’t pretend to be strong. Because we know very well that the unit commander is working harder than anyone else. When you rest, you should rest.”

“That’s right, that’s right. Liza, your role is to give us instructions, right? There is no need to lead by example.”

The knights also did not back down.

A tense battle of wits continued between Liza and the knights, but in the end, Liza had no choice but to take a step back. Because you’ve already monopolized me all day.

“Ha… . okay. Then who will give Zeke a ride instead of me?”

A question Liza casually asked while sighing.

Because of this, the knights who had united against Liza just moments ago suddenly split.

“Of course it’s me! Even if I don’t tell you who the number one hoverboarder in the garrison knights is, don’t you all know?”

“What’s so great about rankings that are based on techniques that have no practical use? The most important thing is safety. I have never fallen while riding a hoverboard.”

“No, the most important thing is Zeke’s riding comfort. In that sense, I can see myself as the best fit. There are two handles that are just right here.”

“Because I’m small… . I think it would be suitable for two people… .”

Articles that everyone claims their own merits. Even the timid Remy was included in the group. Are you timid?

“…Everyone stop.”

The person who silenced the noisy knights was Philia, the leader of the knights.

You have some sort of charisma because you usually lower your voice on harsh topics.

“Take turns burning it. Then it’s fair.”

Philia seemed proud of the thought of clearing up the situation.

but,

“Mr. Philia. Then there will be too much time delay.”

Philia tilted her head at my point and said,

“… Ah.”

With a short sigh, he went back to the corner and crouched.

That guy really doesn’t seem to know anything other than how to use a sword.
