「Why won’t reinforcements arrive already!? At this rate we can’t advance any more!」
The Imperial army was aiming for the capital of the non-human alliance, they were advancing slowly. An aristocrat was raising his displeasure at the slow progress, to which a commander voiced out.
「There is a story about a group in the woods attacking our supply routes. The soldiers who have heard the rumour call them the “Reapers”….」
「Reapers? If they’re helping the monster group, then kill them quickly!」
「We can’t tell if they are working with the monster group」
「If so then why did they attack our supply routes!?」
「I don’t know. After all…..no-one who has seen them have returned alive…」
The commander was anxious about whether or not to report this matter to the troops.
「Ok!! Then send a unit to find out about these so called “Reapers”!!」
At this, 1000 soldiers as well as 40 magic weapons and 500 automatons had entered the forest in order to subdue the “Reapers”. (TLN: This isn’t overkill. Supplies routes are essential in military campaigns)
