Chapter 313: Agares strategy meeting
Chapter 313: Agares strategy meeting
Add Prince Finist, who is being cared for by the red flower girl, we talk about Agares.
"Agares has Agares himself and his messengers, a female hawk and a crocodile. If he is going to attack the village, he will surely use them"
I knew it would come to that. I don't see any crocodile coming out yet, but now the crocodile is going to join in. Then Prince Finist speaks.
"I will deal with Agares Hawk. Revenge for my fiance. I will finish him off"
"Then we should deal with the main body of Agares. Let's show that old devil how scary witches can be"
Oh~! That's a great help. Hmm? So we are dealing with the crocodile.
"You boys take care of the crocodile"
"Yes"
"I can handle a crocodile with ease"
When Arleigh says this, Baba Yagas laugh.
"Huehue. That's reassuring. In a way, that crocodile is the most troublesome..."
Eh......
Crocodile is the most troublesome?
"Umm...do you know how big it is?"
"Unfortunately, I don't know. But I'm sure it has the power to crush a village easily"
That's already a very big crocodile. And it would definitely be strong. I wonder what they would do.
"Huehue. Don't worry, boys. The only way to defeat Agares is to use our trump card. But it takes time for the trump card to be activated"
"So our job is to hold the crocodile back until that time?"
"That's what I mean. And apart from the trump card, I will also support you. How's that? Can you do it?"
They have reduced the difficulty level to stalling and support. We've got to do something. I'm just concerned about the support.
"What is support?"
"First of all, it's the weather. I'll make it sunny, but only temporarily. That should weaken them somewhat"
She's going to clear the weather? Then Koihi and the others can join in.
"And I'll weaken them, too. I don't know if I can go any further than that"
No, it will be enough. If they set us up this far, we have no choice but to do it.
"I understand. I'll give it a try"
"Takuto!? Hey! Can you do it?"
"It's going to be tough as it is. Do you know where Agares will show up or something?"
"Huehue. Indeed...wait a minute"
Baba Yaga takes out a crystal. Is it a future vision crystal?
"Umm...it looks like Agares Hawk is going directly for the village"
If it's a flying monster, it'll be the first to come. Prince Finist is motivated.
"It looks like Agares and the crocodile are coming from the opposite side from here"
Seriously...that was close. I will set up a trap right here.
"Thank you. I'll go get ready as soon as I can"
"That's a good attitude. We'll take care of it. I think we should get ready too. But first, you can take Prince Finist and the girl back to the village"
"I'm sorry, but please"
We returned to the village with Prince Finist and the red flower girl.
"What are we going to do after that?"
"I'll get ready to intercept. Why don't the three of you go out and score some points?"
"Is that okay?"
"That's what we originally talked about. It's in my best interest. I'll be fine"
We log out and have lunch. There I ask Kaito about his level and he seems to have leveled up successfully. He told me that at this rate, he might be able to get a higher level position in the boss fight. He thanked me again.
So during lunch, Chiffon and the others were earning points and leveling up. I asked Mir and Aranea to set traps. Thank God Baba Yaga told me the exact location for the traps.
If the objective is to buy time, the more traps you have, the better, but this time I decided to increase the accuracy of the pitfalls because the enemy was large in size. I made the pitfalls wider and deeper than usual.
Using Entrust with Setia and MP potions, we managed to complete the trap setting. After that, I summoned everyone and had a strategy meeting with Chiffon and the others.
"First of all, we will use the traps set by Aranea and Mir to stall for time"
"Pitfalls"
"Yes. This time, however, the size of the opponent is said to be large, so we will only use an oversized pit. We have to buy some time with this"
And when I brought out items that could be used, Arleigh took an interest in one of them.
"...Can you do something like that?"
"I'm sure you can do it. This time, the damage inflicted on the boss should be worth points as it is and I think it can be used. But it's Takuto's, so you have to decide if you want to use it"
"It's certainly valuable, but it can be produced, so I'll leave it to Arleigh"
"Sorry. When I saw this, I just had to try to make one"
Give the materials to Arleigh. If I can get a lot of points for this, it's a small price to pay.
So when I explain the plan I've come up with, along with the new weapon Arleigh has devised, the three of them pull back.
"That's unfair..."
"Takuto is really relentless..."
"I'm sorry. Crocodile-san..."
Chiffon even apologized to the crocodile. It can't be helped... you don't know how strong it is, so there's no way you can go easy on it.
"Then, the bomb"
"I've got that. It's all right"
"We bought some too"
Oh, no. I guess I missed making it...no, there will come a time when I will use it. According to the story, there is a bomb competition among alchemists and production workers.
I made it this time, but if that's the case, I'd better buy it from a specialist.
Miranda speaks.
"Timing is important for Takuto's strategy"
"Yes. I know it's difficult and dangerous, but can you help me?"
"You can get me summoned beast to take a ride, right? Leave it to me. I'll show you. My magic ball"
"I, I'll do my best!"
I've got my hands full directing Lily and the others. I can only ask Chiffon and the others to do this.
"What if they break through the pit?"
"We have to fight to prevent any damage to the village. We will have insurance, but in that case, it will be a hard-fought battle. Are you ready? Everyone"
Lily and the others reply...I can't help but see Lily and Ion when they grow up in my mind. If possible, I should finish without using the dragon breath... but if I must use it, I must use it.
Then Setia talks to me.
"Takuto-sama, this time we just need to stall for time, right?"
"Yes, but what's wrong?"
"If you need to stall for time in the forest, why don't you leave it to me?"
"...Can you do it?"
Setia nodded at my question.
"Yes. With the true power of Clannleap, I promise"
I didn't know she had such a trick. I don't know what kind of power it is, but if Setia says so, I'll believe in it.
"I understand. I'll rely on you if I have to"
"Yes! I will live up to your expectations!"
"Chiffon and the others will support you if they can"
"I'll take care of it"
This concludes the strategy meeting. All that's left is to cook and prepare for battle.
