Chapter 81

The Maou Army .

The thing that I heard from the Hobgoblin after using 《Many Tongues》 was this .

What is this . I have suddenly heard something very chunni .

Maou .

What kind of era is this, still using words from Dragon Quest .

《Many Tongues》, just how are you translating this .

No, wait .

I calmed down and considered it .

I wanted to throw something .

This translation, from what Mia said, like the names of the monsters on the computer, there is a high possibility of “being replaced by words that we are the familiar with as the native’s words”For example, when I first knew the name of the orcs from the computer, someone in the mountains has already recognised that pig-face monster as an orc, hence the computer registered the monster as ‘Orc’ .

What I want to say is that, is it possible that someone among us had recognised this as a “Maou Army”?

Even if we have some translation method like 《Many Tongues》, this group has already been registered as “Maou Army” in the translation method .

Or it could be that when they first met the orcs, they called out「what the heck, is this a Maou Army!」

Mmm, it is not that it will be like that .

Just that I don’t really want the strange thinking of something like a Maou is really real .

Ah, because… . . .

Maou .

If we got to such a world with that sort of thing, what can we do…… ah I don’t even want to consider about it anymore .

My expression must have been strange?

Mia gazed at me .

Ah right .

Compared to what there is a Maou or it is just nonsense, first we must consider the real problem .

「If we stay here, there will be danger . 」

「So we retreat?」

After Mia hesitated for abit, she spoke「above」 and used flying magic on herself and the Centaur Knight .

I see, no matter if we escape or not, it will be different if we have the mobility of flying magic .

I am not good at flying so I sat on the back of the Centaur Knight .

「Then I will leave it to you, Centaur Knight . 」

「Leave it to me, Owner . 」

I jumped onto the Centaur Knight’s back .

Mia and the Centaur Knight flew into the sky .

The 2 Wind Elementals followed .

Oh, my familiars are flying better than me…… ah .

What was that deep-sounding voice just now .

… . . . huh? Just now, did this guy spoke?

I looked that the face of the Centaur Knight .

The deep red eyes of the familiars also looked towards me .

「Perhaps this is also due to 《Many Tongues》?」

「Yes, Owner」

I see, until now I have been communicating with the crows with something like telepathy, but some other familiars are completely unable to speak .

But the familiars should have their own languages as well right?

Ah, ermm, but .

If we can speak like this, then I will hesitate if I use them as disposable pawns .

「Master, our bodies here are only substitutes . Our real bodies are somewhere else . So there is no need hesitate and use us as pawns to the utmost . 」

「Okay I understand . 」

Okay, in a second, my thoughts are read .

Ah ah, in front of the familiars, to talk about how to treat them as disposable pawns .

Is probably a thorn in the familiars’ hearts .

Honestly speaking, the concern from the Centaur Knight is really rare .

Right now, if my thoughts slowed down because of weird thoughts, then it will be quite dangerous .

They are pawns, convenient pawns that can be disposed of .

If I don’t think of it like this, then I may not be able to protect the things that are important to me .

「Oh, right, the Wind Elementals… . . . 」

「Yes, please give us the orders . 」

Ah, indeed they could speak .

I get this feeling that I knew it .

But this is fine too .

「The 2 of you will move to the rooftop of the house on the left and right, and check out the movements of the enemies . 」

The 2 Wind Elementals separated after listening to my instructions .

Mia looked at me, saying「I want it too! Give me《Many Tongues》 . 」

Ah, right .

It is better to give it to you too .

I used the magic on Mia .

Mia who have gotten 《Many Tongues》, immediately start a small chat with the Centaur Knight .

「Girl with big boobs, girl with big butt, which one do you like?」

「Oi oi . You can choose not to answer . 」

「Chiii . … . . . then Ken-chan, how much do you know about this world? For example if we want to know about things in this city… . . . 」(TL note: Chiii = Mia staring, Ken-chan = Centaur Knight as in Japanese, Centaur is kentauros)

Ken-chan? Oi .

Although it’s reasonable .

And the problem is very direct .

「It is a pity that I am not an existence of this world . If necessary, you can continue with the details later . 」

「Hmm . Next question . Can we summon you again the next time?」

「In the current situation, I may not be the next Centaur Knight that is summoned . 」

「”Current situation” huh . Then there is a method to summon you again the next time?」

「If we have an exclusive contract, then it can be done . But I don’t know that method . 」

「I see… . . . 」

How should I say this, Mia is incredible .

Although it is the thinking of a gamer, but she developed thoughts that I have never even considered .

What is an Exclusive Contract .

But now we cannot create that kind of contract……?

It is pretty good to summon the same familiar many times, and we can also use it as an information source .

Then we will treat it as a topic for future investigation .

Maa, that will be the thing to do afterwards .

For now we have to take care of the Hobgoblins before us .

What we saw when we reached the rooftop of the buildings, were the Hobgoblins separating into 2 teams to pincer attack us at the narrow alley .

Then some of them discovered that we are on the rooftop and they shouted to communicate, with the troops heading to another rooftop .

It seems like they wished to use arrows to decide the victory .

There are a total of 20 Hobgoblins approaching us . 。But one of the important thing to say is that, among the words of the Hobgoblins, there is「Call the Inju over . 」

「Inju, what do you think about it, Mia?」

「Inju… . . Ah, no no, don’t bother me,l my ears . If the meaning of these words are translated to Japanese…… then it is something like Curse Troops」(TL note: Inju sounds like pervert beast in Japanese . )

Ah ah, although I don’t really understand it, but I get what it meant .

「Magic users huh?」

「Probably…… So Kazu-chi . 」

I know, Resist right .

The type of magic that the enemies used—— according to the result of our investigation—— we roughly know some of them .

At least they know fire magic .

At this timing, the Wind Elementals returned .

Seems like no other enemies appeared .

「《Deflection Spell》 . . . . . . 《Resist Element: Fire》」

I will not be stingy with the MP here, so I will put 《Resist Element: Fire》 for everyone first .

Just like the Mage Orcs, there is the possibility of the green-skinned Mages having all sorts of attributes, but the attack by fire causes the most damage .

And if it is Earth Magic, they can do disturbing actions like 《Heat Metal》 .

So being wary is correct .

After 《Resist Element: Fire》 is casted on all the members .

Countless of fire arrows flew over, roasting the skin of the Wind Elementals that are slightly above us .

We were really lucky .

Thanks to 《Resist Element: Fire》, the Wind Elementals are nearly unscathed .

Towards the direction where the arrows of flames are released, a total of 4 robed guys are seen .

They are standing on the roof of the buildings about 30m away .

「Mage huh?」

If this drags on, it will be troublesome .

Then… . . .

「Centaur Knight, attack . Wipe out those fellows . 」

「Understood, Owner . 」

I sat on the Centaur Knight who is nimbly using flying magic to rush towards the Mages . 。The Mages panicked, and released fire arrows at us without caring for the sturdy body of the Centaur Knight… . . .

Instead, the Centaur Knight flashed its sword .

The arrows made of flames are cut .

Oi oi, you can even cut magic .

This could be because of 《Resist Element: Fire》, but even so it is amazing .

After we got closer, the Mages released 《Fire Bomb》 towards us .

This is a wide range explosion magic when it reaches its target, it can be said as a Magic Grenade .

The difference with a hand thrown grenade, is that its shooting range is quite far… . . .

Hence, before the Centaur Knight that I rode on, the 《Fire Bomb》 exploded… . . But before that, the Centaur Knight threw his sword .

The sword split the ball of flames into halves .

The fireball disappeared before exploding .

The thrown sword continued forward, towards the chest of the Mage .

The Mage panically shrink his body into a ball .

Tsk, he dodged it .

But thanks to that, his long robe was peeled off .

Green skin, and hairless .

With a flat nose, flat face, sharp ears and a wide mouth .

And oranged coloured eyes .

Until now the Hobgoblins have been covered by their helmets, so now we finally saw their faces… . . .

This is the face of a Hobgoblin?

This guy is indeed the Hobgoblin mage .

Anyway we will call it as Mage Hobgoblin .

The other 3 Mages, jumped around in order to put some distance, attempting to escape to some other building .

Is this 《High Jump》?

If so, then they can also use Wind Magic?

Shit, if we are hit by something like 《Lightning》, I will feel the pain too .

No, I believe that it will definitely be painful… . . .

The long spear that the Centaur Knight had, pierced through the Hobgoblin in front .

The Mage gave a final cry, and his body began to dissolve .

After the Mage disappeared, a blue gem is left .

Immediately, the 3 Mage scattered in the buildings around, released 《Lightning》 at me continuously .

Ah, did they think that I am the commander .

Correct, you beasts!

My chest, shoulder and wrist are hit by 《Lightning》 .

The intense pain swam in my nerves, stiffening my entire body .

I screamed, but…… endured it immediately .

It was tough that I did not fall, but now I am in the state where I am desperately clinging onto the Centaur Knight .

Ahh, damn!

「Wind Elemental!」

The Wind Elementals listened to my instructions and attacked the Mage on the left and right .

The Mages wanted to escape, but our side are faster .

The Centaur Knight also chased after the last one .

The Mage desperately released 《Lightning》 at me… . . .

But I endured it too .

My teeth are chattering but I am fine .

The pain in my heart is concentrating, but I am still alive so I must be fine .

Hmph, don’t underestimate the HP of a level 23!

And if these Mages are defeated… . . .

After closing the distance, the Centaur Knight killed the second Mage Hobgoblin .

Slightly slower, the Wind Elementals killed their targets .

The 4 Mages are wiped out .

The Centaur Knight picked up the sword that was left on the rooftop .

I breathed quickly, almost unable to use any strength .

Ah, it’s so painful .

But we killed the enemy’s magic users .

Considering the situation after this, this is a big advantage for us .
