Summoned Slaughterer Chapter 178\n“I got a cooompletely late start!” (Alyssa)
Alyssa, who filled her stomach to her heart’s content after hearing that the big dining hall for nobles in the royal castle is for free, dashed through the castle at full speed with tears in her eyes right now.
Given that she’s running with a full stomach, an unpleasant feeling rises up from her chest to her throat, but she somehow manages to swallow it down. She’s angry at herself for only noticing the noise outside the castle when she was about to enjoy her fourth cake after getting caught up in the moment. As a result of catching a knight, who was preparing himself hurriedly for battle inside the castle, and confirming the situation, she learned that a great number of demons had apparently flowed into the plaza in front of the castle.
“They have already started!?” (Alyssa)
Alyssa pretty much knows about Hifumi’s “plan.” The final wish of Hifumi of course, and she also knew that he’s actually making Queen Imeraria and the other races dance on top of his palm. Why was she told about it? Being given a handicap of possessing this much information ahead of the others, and yet only having few troops at her hand. How she’s going to deal with this situation is no more than a “homework” given by Hifumi, the previous feudal lord.
“I-I will be scolded…!” (Alyssa)
She was careless due to being able to anticipate the course of events. While praying for the safety of her subordinates, she rushes out of the castle. The battle has started, and the short Alyssa can’t overlook the whole battlefield, but the soldiers, which sortied from the castle, were standing in a line, frantically holding back the pushing demons. It appears that the battle has spread across the whole plaza.
“You’re a hindrance!” (Alyssa)
Jumping upon a demon, she kicks his head while climbing the tall wall enclosing the plaza. As the battle has developed into a melee, neither the demons nor the humans can fire arrows or spells. First she discovered Hifumi, who is throwing a remarkably huge presence, in the middle of the plaza, and then she found Origa who swung her iron-ribbed fan at a demon at a slightly distant place, unleashing wind blades at the lowest size even within this melee battle. And, once she spotted Fokalore’s soldiers, who were in a defensive formation in a corner of the plaza, on the opposite side of Origa, Alyssa ran on the wall and jumped down in the middle.
“Sorry for being tardy! What’s the situation?” (Alyssa)
“The precise circumstances are unclear!”
The vicinity is a melting pot of screams and encouraging yells with desperate fighting going on except at the back of the walls. If one doesn’t shout at the top of their lungs, a normal conversation isn’t possible either.
Some idiot apparently used exploding magic. A couple of demons and humans each were blown away.
“The demons suddenly, umm, gushed out of a hole that opened up at the plaza’s entrance! Straight after they talked about something with the previous lord, the battle started…the exit from the plaza should be under control by the knight order and the royal army!”
While listening to the report, Alyssa intently wracks her brain. What should Fokalore’s troops do right now? Hifumi’s aim. No, wish. That is “to show what’s possible.”
“The knights, who have appeared from the castle, and the soldiers in the city; who do you think is stronger?” (Alyssa)
“Likely the knights. They were trained by the previous lord, weren’t they? Besides, the number of demons heading for the castle is still a minority!”
“Then it’s settled!” (Alyssa)
Alyssa went into action and repelled a longsword, which came flying from somewhere, with her ‘s counterweight, he flings it into the face of a demon.
The instant he tried to pull back the chain, a presence passed next to Hifumi. He perceived that, which displayed flexible movements, swinging its arm at the edge of his vision. He swiftly dodged the attack by inclining his head, however, one long cut is carved into Hifumi’s cheek.
The small person with his tiger-like face landed with a small sound, and licked the blood on his claw while glaring at Hifumi. It was Malfas who left the beastmen settlement after saying that he would join the demon army.\n
