Chapter 95 (1/2)

While I had Elena heal the rescued Lela, I asked the soldiers about the situation.

Somehow or another, it seemed to have been this flow:

1. An orc appeared at the town’s gate. 2. When Lela charged, the orc ran away. 3. Lela chased after the orc who had been lost in sight alone. 4. The battle against the orc horde had began during Lela’s search. 5. They learned that a detachment force of the orcs were attacking the town. 6. They withdrew to the town’s gate and engaged in a defensive battle.

Lela was completely deceived by the orc’s strategy, huh. As the one who commanded the troops, weren’t her actions a bit thoughtless?

Should I also participate in the war momentarily? Just when I was considering it! A soldier from the front line voiced out.

「It’s the orcs’ reinforcement!!」

There’s still more?

「Elena, I’ll be going out in a bit. I’ll entrust this place to you.」 「Understood, Seiji-sama. Be careful.」 「Alright!」

When I arrived at the frontline― Around 200 orcs came out of the forest and head towards the town. High orcs can be seen sparsely amongst them. As expected, it was impossible.

I decided to give up quickly.

What did I give up on? It was to hide my abilities.

「【Magic power reinforcement】,【Summon lightning spirit】!」

When I exclaimed so, from inside my body, the spirit flew out.

「Finally, I got bored waiting for my turn. Hm? It feels like my magic power is somehow stronger than usual.」

It seems【Magic power reinforcement】also affected the summons as well.

「I’ve kept you waiting.」 「Are those preys? Can I finish them all?」 「Ah, permission granted.」 「Oh!!」

After I gave the confirmation to the spirit, it flew out energetically. I went back to where Elena is. I erected a barrier which insulated Lighting and sound around us and the soldiers.

At the same time as I finished setting the barrier up, the surrounding area became pure white and a delayed explosion which can break the eardrum resounded. Though I insulated the sound, the sound probably circumvented around the exterior of the barrier.

The orcs’ reinforcement had all been roasted brown and a part of the forest had also been burnt. As for the soldiers and orcs who were fighting against each other, though they were far from ground zero of the explosion, were knocked unconscious, or paralyzed to move.

『Level went up to 31.』

As one would expect, I also leveled up after defeating that many.

The allied soldiers, though they received no damage, stood stock still and dumbfounded.

「Iyaa, it felt gooood.」

The Spirit, with a clear refreshing smile, went back into my body.

「Seiji-sama!  Please say it earlier if you’re going to do it.」 「I-, I’m sorry.」

I was scolded by Elena. (てへぺろ)*Tehepero*

After seemingly a moment passed, none of the soldiers could understand what had happened.

Since the forest has started to burn, I fought fire with【Water magic】― The soldiers who recovered their wits, started to clean up the remaining orcs.

During which, I selected the high orc corpses which weren’t burnt too much and put them away in the inventory. With High Orc x 20 and Orc x 100, they should sell for a fair amount of money.

After a while, the sound of the battle ceased. The townspeople fearfully came out and looked at the situation.

The scene which the townspeople saw was―

Around 150 orc corpses, though ragged,『Iron wall Lela』with the soldiers survived and defended the town.
