"But the total number of the enemy is smaller than we thought.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The Sabnak forces attack the castle in a frontal attack.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　They take a position behind the moat and shoot bows and throw stones at the enemies who have descended into the moat. If they try to come up to the moat, we thrust our spears into them.

　This alone reduced the number of enemy soldiers considerably, but since our army was divided into two, we had to fight 200 soldiers with 50 men.

　The soldiers of Sabnak are surprisingly brave and hard to fight.

　The enemy forces that crossed the moat and overcame all difficulties were brave and valiant, but they were Kobolds after all.

　They could not use magic, nor were they equipped with magical weapons, so there was nothing they could do against the wraiths.

　In no time at all, the Kobolds are destroyed.

"There are many demons that only work with magic. You should have taken countermeasures against them."

　I add a light laugh, but Eve chides me.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"This is no laughing matter. If we don't do something about it, Subnak will come rushing in here.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"If that happens, I guess I lose. If they destroy the core, I lose, right?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"That was because we were outnumbered. But now it's different. If we gather our forces, we will be able to defeat Sabnak.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

But at that rate, they'll do some serious damage. They may be demons, but they're still my men. It's best to minimize the damage.

Skeleton soldiers have no ego.

"Eve thinks I'm no better than Sabnak?"

　I apologize for my unexpectedly serious expression of concern.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　It is not enough to defeat Sabnak.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Another reason was that I was no better than Sabnak.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com
