Since Brooklyn had informed him about the existence of the magic bag, he knew that he would give the enemy plenty of room if he waited idly in the barriers as he had done before. Therefore, Chrystia decided to strike out from here and had the major clans start preparing for it.

　The huge monsters, the old bone turtles, were suppressed by Luke's summoned mounted golem, and the monsters in large numbers bounced back with many elites, mainly the Labyrinth Control Squad and Aldoret Crow. And as for Orvis and Mina, the elements of anxiety this time, they were to be dealt with by a small number of elites of the Red Demon Squad with unique skills, Golden Examining, and the Infinite Circle.


'The girl is an insect-based monster. Orvis seems to have the characteristics of an animal-type monster. The girl has been found to have an unusually hard shell, so we will leave it to the Red Demons. Orvis should be hit with a golden probe and an infinite circle. Do you have any objections?
I don't disagree.
I'm fine.
I'm fine.


　Leon, Weiss, and Tsutomu nodded to Chrystia's instructions and began to organize themselves into clans as people moved around. And the infinite circle of ten people in total, and the golden investigation carefully selected for about twenty people, gathered next to each other.


''Hmm, are we with you again?''
..........
What?　You have the good nerve to ignore me!
Shut up.


　Tsutomu pushes Eunice, who is still the same, far away with his staff and calls out to Leon, who is getting ready. As far as coordination is concerned, they can do it without getting in each other's way, so Tsutomu decided to match up with Leon, who is probably the most skilled in combat skills among them.


'I see. You're going to expect so much from me?
This time it's a man, so it shouldn't be a problem.
"Hey, hey, hey!　I don't care about that!


　Although Tsutomu knew that he had been caught unawares against Mina, he still had faith in Leon's unique skills and fighting ability. Although the clan's reputation of the golden investigation was low, Leon's personal reputation was moderately high.

　After exchanging a few words with other juniors of Eunice, such as the silver fox man and the tank Barbara, who was a familiar face, Tsutomu looked at the clan members of the Infinite Circle once again.


''Don't take it too hard on the attacker group. Also, Amira, keep your big sword swinging less than usual.
I know what I'm doing.
That's good. Tankers, take care of your attacker support. Hate skills probably won't work, so just stand around with that in mind.
Yeah.


　The opponent this time is a former human with intelligence, so hate skills such as Combat Cry would not work. Therefore, the tanks will have to use their sturdiness to handle the battle, but Garum, Daryl, and Xeno will have no problem with it.


'Can Hannah stand around with an attacker leaning this time?
Okay, okay.


　Hannah, who seems to be sulking, nods with an appearance of reluctance. Since all the clan members have already grasped that Hannah is somehow rebelling against Tsutomu, no one is particularly surprised.


''Hanna~. You need to get back in a good mood~
No, I want to be left alone.
I'll listen to Tsumaru complain all day long.


　In the meantime, Amy is teasing Hanna, who is acting differently from the usual, and although she herself looks evil, she doesn't seem to be refusing. Seeing such a situation, Garum, who had been worried earlier, also looked a little dumbfounded.


''It's about to begin, so brace yourself.
Yeah.
I know what I'm talking about!
Okay, okay. Then you'll do what you always do.
Mmm.
Hannah. Switch over.
Yes, sir!


　Hanna, who was lightly mocked, made a grimace, but she finally got a decent look on her face, perhaps switched after being lightly slapped on the back by Garum.

　And the barriers between the Kanchelsia family and the Babenberg family gradually opened up. Most of the knights who were preparing their anti-monster magic tools had never experienced a stampede battle on such a large scale, so most of them looked nervous.


''Alright, no problem.''
I'm gonna try my new skills.


　Many of the high level explorers enrolled in Aldoret Crow began to inspect each other's equipment, and among them, Stephanie and Bittman could be seen. Perhaps because they did it every day, their movements were as refined as a trained soldier's.


''I want to try something, can I borrow your fire dragon?''
Yes, sir.


　The summoner man graciously agreed to Luke's suggestion on the mounted golem. The other summoners also summoned fire dragons and shell clubs, and the large monsters began to gather.


'Alma, give me a big one, please.
I'm on it.
..........
Isn't there anything from Vice for Alma?
Hey, Cecilia.


　The small number of elite Red Demons were having a meeting with Cecilia at the center of the meeting, and Weiss crossed her arms and listened to the conversation in silence. And when Cecilia asked him for his opinion, Weiss' dark eyes wavered as if he was upset. Then he was silent for a dozen seconds, and he stared into Alma's eyes.


''Well after talking to Tsutomu, Alma's air has changed. It won't be a problem anymore.''
Oh, really?
I'm counting on it.
..........
Oh, you have a terrible grin on your face.
Oh, shut up!　I'm not happy about it!


　Weiss has a strange look on his face at Alma, who has been teased by Cecilia and has turned red to her ears. Seeing Weiss like that, the surrounding clan members were shaking their heads, wondering what was going on.


''Well then, let's play a bit!
You mustn't be so reckless.
I'll be there. Safety first, please!
Oh!


　The clan members of the Golden Investigation, which was formed by narrowing it down to twenty people, were mostly women who had been former soldiers and mercenaries. The level of attackers in the Golden Probe is high, and although they are women, they are all experienced in combat. Leon's ability, which these women fell in love with, was also high, and it was enough to make Weiss and Camille take notice of him.


''Open the barrier!　All hands, are you ready to go!
Shut up.


　Brooklyn, who is listening to the Babenberg family's command next to her, opens and closes the barriers one after another with a disgusted look on her face and lets the explorers move forward smoothly. Brooklyn is not happy as she watches the explorers advance one by one through the multiple layers of barriers.

　Then, when Chrystia, who is floating in the sky, confirms that they are all ready to launch, she picks up the loudspeaker.


'All hands sally forth. Annihilate the Stampede.''


　The final barrier opened with Chrystia's indifferent voice, which just seemed to tell the truth, and the searchers set out in unison.


　oo


　The swarm of monsters that had been out in numbers to the horizon before they realized it would be overwhelming for an ordinary person to see. There was no room for the knight who was actually loading his magic cannon in the safety zone inside the barrier, and Brooklyn also looked at the explorers who had gone out by the hundreds against the tens of thousands of monsters with a skeptical eye.


''The big ones will be dealt with by the mounted golems, so take care of the miscellaneous fish around you!
Yes!


　Luke, who was casually chatting with the clan members, was sitting at the head of a mounted golem covered with a barrier. And the mounted golem was much redder than before.

　At first, the mount golem was slow to move, and during that time it created a golem from its body to protect itself. And as time passed, its body became redder and redder and its mobility increased.

　Luke, who has been challenged and killed many times on the seventy levels, also understands its structure well, so he had warmed up the body of the mounted golem with the fire dragon's breath just now. This increased the reddish color of the mount golem's athletic ability, and it had already become a mid-range performance.


''Ikkei!''


　The mounted golem with Luke on its head ran with a swift movement that was not commensurate with its huge body, while the monster on the ground lightly kicked around and advanced towards the old bone turtle. Those who saw the mounted golem for the first time seemed surprised that such a huge body could move so quickly.


''It's doing a mess!
Follow Luke!
Isn't that kind of unfair to start with?


　The explorers who had suffered a lot in the seventy levels laughed happily as they looked at the Mounted Golem, who was taking a flying knee kick to the old bone turtle's face. Then the fire dragons and shell clubs followed the single path created by the mounted golem, followed by the other explorers.


''We'll take care of the small fry. The Infinite Circle, the Golden Examining, and the Red Demons, go ahead and don't let Orvis move freely. If it's too tough to take them down, we can just stall for time.
Yeah.


　Kristia, who has killed dozens of monsters at once with a single arrow released from a bow made from a tyrannical dragon, instructs the three clans to do so. Then the three clans also enter a path that has begun to gradually close.

　At first glance, walking into a swarm of monsters would seem to be a suicidal act. The monsters look like an army made up of goblins, orcs and kobolds in their gear. Plus the insect-based monsters that lurked underground and the winged monsters that lingered in the sky.

　Certainly, these monsters, equipped to a certain extent and placed by the will of man, are a threat. It's true that this is different from the usual stampede.


'It's Combat Cry in three. Let's go, one, two, three!
Combat Cry!


　But even though they are placed in disgusting locations, they are still just low intelligence monsters. They can easily be fished out with Combat Cry and Warrior Howl, which stimulate their fighting instincts, and the monsters are well dispersed by the troops led by the Maze Hegemony Squad.


''Twin Wave Slash!''
Â


　The twin-wave slash unleashed by Amy, who has a contract with the Sylphs, cut the legs of the approaching monsters in half. Wyvern, who tried to launch a surprise attack from above, was knocked down by the arrows of Diniel and the other archers, while the ground-crawling insect-based monsters were burned by the skills released by the black mages and others.

　With the swarms of monsters dispersed by the tanks and their thin walls, it is impossible to stop the advance of the high-level explorers. Led by Aldrete Crow, who spends most of his day exploring God's dungeons, the explorers of the major clans spend their days fighting monsters. And that is usually with a limited number of people, five people, who deal with monsters, a single combatant. When those people join forces with hundreds of others to fight, there are only a few monsters they can take on.


''There's some kind of fire dragon like thing!　Attacker, at least four more of you come over here!
Hey, that tank is surrounded by too many of them!　Somebody cover him!
"Oh, I'm fine, I'm fine. The support and recovery is fast approaching, unlike usual. I'm in good hands.


　One tank had been sacked from a large number of monsters, but he was being healed endlessly thanks to the wishes of a few prayer warriors. With the musicians applying general support, the healer didn't have to use his support skills this time, so he could focus on recovery in this situation. Furthermore, many tanks will take care of the hate as well, so they won't be afraid of monsters.


'Meteor!
Meteor!
"Meteor Stream!


　Dozens of other black mages also unleash overwhelming attacks from their skills, and spirits in various forms unleash spirit magic all at once. In addition, the constant support of the musician's band composed of bards allows you to do things that would be impossible in the usual five-man PT framework in a stampede battle.

　You will be able to find out if they are the same as you.


''Multiple dragons were seen from the sky. We have confirmed the appearance of a large snake from the ground as well. Attraction has already been done here. The dragons are Aldoret Crow and the giant snakes are hit by the infinite circle. Red Demon, keep the golden probe intact and hold them back.


　However, the Stampede side had also anticipated this, and soon, besides the old bone turtle, other large monsters had started to appear. The major clans obeyed Cristia's instructions and followed the guide sent by the Labyrinth Control Squad.
