「What do you have for me?」
「The moving object is over there」
After hearing this, Kazuya peeked into the forest using night vision goggles.
「There’s definitely something moving…..but i can’t see it clearly」
Although he could see the forest with the night vision goggles, he couldn’t see the moving object very well.
「Lieutenant, prepare for action」
「Understood」
「Shall we report this to command?」
「It has already been reported. I hear that the preparations for bombardment were completed ten minutes ago in case of an emergency」
「Good job Lieutenant」
「Thank you for the praise, Commander」
After the conversation was over, the lieutenant issued an order to the 80 soldiers at the fort using a walkie talkie to prepare for combat.
「We will put our entire strength into our combat formation! Close the gate to the fort. You are prohibited from firing unless ordered to do so! That concludes my report」
「「「「Understood!!」」」」
Five minutes after Kazuya’s instructions are relayed.
The platoon had blocked the front gate. Kazuya prepared some flare bombs to launch into the forest.
「Fire them!」
On that signal, in every direction, north, south, east and west. Two flares were fired for a total of eight, deep into the night sky.
The light from the bombs begin to illuminate the vicinity.
「Oh……that’s not good…」
A large amount of monsters appeared from the forest, surrounding the fort.
「I can’t believe it. The scouts didn’t encounter a single monster, where did they all come from?」
「I’m sorry i don’t understand, is the current situation bad?」
The amount of demons surrounding the fort increased as the lieutenant asked this.
「Goblins, Kobolds, Orcs. I think even an orc has come」
All the demons who were approaching the fort were armed with rusty swords and clubs. They were also wearing worn out armour.
「We can’t run away now, we’re surrounded…」
「Agreed, the only way to survive now is to annihilate the enemy」
In total, Kazuya had around 80 soldiers. 20 in one platoon and 60 split between the two divisions. (TLN: Remember, he sent two divisions to the fort then brought a platoon to reinforce them)
8 M2 heavy machine guns and ammunition set up. Along with 10 type 97 double barrelled machine guns, 5 type 2 12cm mortars and 10 type 89 grenade dischargers.
Even though we have a bombardment on standby, will it even be able to annihilate all the monsters? Even if we call for reinforcements now, they won’t arrive until the morning…..
Wait, because combat has not started yet, can i still summon weapons?
Unexpectedly, when Kazuya checked his menu screen, a strange text box appeared.
[God’s trial: Number 1]
Survive the demons attacks!
Total amount of enemies:
17,829
……so this is the reason why there are so many demons.
Now it’s impossible to summon anything, damn it!! Why would you make such a trial you ridiculous God!! How is this an apology for accidentally killing me….
I can’t believe it, what a waste of time God….
Instantly, Kazaya thought of a plan.
「Lieutenant Ibuki, how long is it until morning?」
「Around 2 hours」
「It that so…. Communications officer!! Request a bombardment at once. Also, request for reinforcements」
「Understood!!」
The communications officer began a wireless communication with the command centre.
It’s almost time.
The moment when communication with command was cut, Kazuya’s preparations were complete. The nearby monsters raised a unified shout and surged towards the fort.
「Ah, they’re coming!! –Let’s show them our strength!! We will survive!!」
「「「「Ooooooo!」」」」
Kazuya stares at the approaching monsters. He raises his STG44 and aims at one of the running goblins, then pulls the trigger.
Thus the nightmare-ish battle began.
