Tensei Shitara Slime Datta

Chapter 89: Different Packages

Hinata was resting at a certain location one day trip away from the Tempest country monster.

And then, the last meeting had begun.

Judging from the situation, the opponent might not be ready to fight and they were waiting for a reply.

However, this was a group of monsters, he could not be rash.

More than anything, even in a battle that would result in a complete victory, to reduce the sacrifice even a little was Hinata's fighting style.

Using anything, even cowardly tricks, this was the monster's natural mindset when fighting.

According to Church doctrine, monsters should be killed without sympathy for them. Everyone is told about it.

Of course, the knights were not happy about this.

Victory is a certainty, but they also understand that if they lose, this will be a threat to human society.

Precisely because they cannot lose, they believe that this must be achieved through all necessary means.

In this battle, the enemy kingdom was too big to cover it in the barrier.

Thus, through the use of bait, they wanted to lure the enemy's main invader into the battlefield.

However, if it arouses suspicion, this plan will be threatened.

Initially, Hinata proposed a plan to send an envoy, but this was opposed by the holy knights and dismissed.

Firstly, even though there were only 100 of them, each of the holy knights could rival a thousand people.

Among them, the 15 individuals consisting of the captain and 2 vice-captains of the 5 squadrons all wanted the title of the strongest holy knight.

Their influence had made a clear distinction between them and the others.

This time, the plan was for 5 captains, 2 of their vice-captains, as well as 5 escorts to form a cubic barrier.

Steps were taken for the worst case scenario, the three captains would form a triangular barrier, and the effect would still be visible. For that purpose, instead of a cube, the pentagonal barrier will be activated instead.

Even if the enemy had taken steps and managed to disrupt the erection of the barrier, the location where the barrier would be erected could easily be changed.

The main combat force would now have 40 fewer fighters, but in order to neutralize the battalion lured to the barrier, this was the best method.

The plan is simple, the remaining 60 will be used as bait to lure enemies to strategic locations.

The fighting spirit of the holy knights was enough.

After all, the enemies this time were only evolved orcs and goblins. For some people, they are enemies who have been encountered many times in the past, and have lost the ability to feel fear.

Among them, there were also Lizard men evolving and evolving, anyone other than the main force would probably not be able to match their strength.

All they had to watch out for was the existence of that warped demon.

While the Hinata they worshipped killed the enemy demon lord, they had to restrain other monsters to ensure they did not interfere.

Their biggest obstacle here is believed to be the demon arch.

However, they were pushing themselves there was nothing to fear. After all, they were wearing spirit armor.

The spirit that they contracted to make the embodied armor easily adjustable, was called a holy letter.

Hinata also wore it, although it was inferior to an actual holy letter, still better than ordinary equipment.

Unable to feel its weight, it was a type of superior armor that felt as light as feathers.

The weapons they use are also articles used to conquer evil, weapons that can negate resistance and deal actual damage.

(Yuuka: Pure damage to your Dota player)

It rarely requires this much power in a single battle.

The equipment used was extremely powerful as far as subduing the arch dragon, 10 people with such equipment was enough.

It could be compared to an army of 10,000 elite soldiers of a country, but compared to a monster that they could not hope to make comparisons.

The holy knights were scattered in various places, but all the knights that could be contacted were gathered.

For the holy knights, this was one of the conquest wars that they could not possibly lose.

Hinata looked at the knights while thinking.

Should we really fight in this battle?

Usually, he did not doubt the decisions made until now. Even though he had already decided on this in the holy capital, a piece of doubt appeared.

This was the first time he had experienced this.

First and foremost, the battle prediction results. The predicted result seemed too good, too comfortable.

The strength on this side is few in number; on this vast open field this will prove uncomfortable.

Instead, enemies could easily take advantage of the vast terrain, making escape difficult.

The terrain is too comfortable.

However, to predict all this is impossible. It felt as if he was dancing on someone's palm, but he brushed it off because he might be thinking too much.

Initially, opponents thought that Hinata lived in the holy kingdom of Ruberius. But they are not taking action on this.

The existence of the teleportation gate was a secret, they even practiced in the wilderness around the outskirts of the Ruberius kingdom just in case.

TN Note: .. yes um Hinata, hate to divulge it to you but I'm pretty sure the demon lords and dwarves have been using the teleport gate for some time now …

Needless to say, his existence has been discovered. He had faith in his actions because he did so carefully and carefully.

But, even so …

If he trusted his intuition, this was a dangerous place.

Although this is an irrational way of thinking, it cannot be ignored.

Thus, Hinata stopped thinking and opened her mouth.

"Consideration! 」

Hearing this, the holy knights stopped talking and focused on Hinata.

Hinata, looked at everyone from their faces and said,

「I'll give you your command now.

Bait team!

The likely location of the predicted battlefield was a trap.

Coincidentally, any disruption to barrier activation was a loss.

However, we will deliberately follow the flow of the opponent's strategy.

We will deploy obstructions so as not to arouse suspicion on the enemy. However, there would be no captain, and the vice-captain would replace them.

The captain and escort will defend the vice-captain with their lives on the line.

However, there was no need to think of anything other than the maintenance of the barrier.

A hostile act to protect the barrier would be allowed.

It would be great if we could fight as planned. But if we want to be scattered due to the preemptive attack, reply back in full force. I will say this again, do not go to great lengths to put up barriers, the survival of everyone is a top priority.

Depending on the attacker, permission to stop defending the barrier and join the fight is granted.

For barrier groups, consider that the enemy will be scattered.

The central decoy force, you guys, relies on barrier aid.

And don't be too confident trying to make a surprise attack out of pride.

Lure the opponent towards the playing field, where we will claim victory.

Considering that your own power might eventually annihilate your comrades.

Besides, while you guys act as bait I will kill the enemy general.

Never be careless! Consider that there will be no reinforcements, then act! 」

Yuuka: That was one long speech.

He trusted his instincts, and gave orders.

Either way, this was their only combat power.

Other combat troops other than this one would only end up as a hindrance.

The troops conducted another meeting to review the complicated maneuvers after declaring the role of each of the holy knights.

Signs of arrogance instantly disappeared from their eyes.

＊ ＊ ＊

It had been two weeks since the scheduled meeting with Hinata.

If it was Hinata, we thought a surprise attack might be a good idea; she even obediently let out a fireball explosion in the sky to let us know.

He's either very confident, or an idiot.

Well whatever.

Here we will proceed as planned.

…… I thought of this and although I still have time before the battle, I cannot understand what.

My head somehow feels ….

What happened, why did this happen ?!

I was at a loss for words at the spectacle in front of me.

This is what happened .

TN Note: Do not ask us about what this mess is .. Even we are also 100% unsure …

As expected, 60 holy knights came to attack.

This is good . This is because everything went according to plan.

However, if they come to attack us, it means they have a certain battlefield.

In addition to digging this tunnel into the open field requires a lot of effort and difficulty, but there is a bit of complexity; I actually stated that I would set a trap here, yet they went and triggered it.

The opponent may also have a trap here, and if we take the pass it will be painful.

Mentally, 『Sorry Veldora! Now it's your turn, or maybe not 』, I'm sorry, and move to another location.

Note: Please check who or what Suman is.

Yuuka: Many others and I laughed loudly at this XD

Silly bear.

TN Note: ... I understand why Clown san is giving me Japanese lessons now... Wait, who do you mean when you say "Many others"?

The place where Hinata and I will face each other.

This was why; the battle had begun on the side.

The first important thing was the situation where the Yomigaeri clashed with the Holy Knights.

「Ba, bangana! Our attacks are ineffective against them! 」

BACANA - Impossible, but in a very intense and dramatic way.

「They are not even undead, what happened? 」

The Holy Knights spoke in surprise.

Instead of replying, with a knife in hand, the Yomigaeri army quickly injured the holy knights.

It seemed that they were using their own bodies as bait to deal blows to the holy knights.

TN Note: So they are like deadpools without any mental breakdown, using only a knife, and can even come back from the dead. Goodly

Using their immortality to fight, so far it looks impressive.

And like this, the holy knights prepared themselves while witnessing what they believed to be a one-sided development (game), however …

The holy knights collapsed in less than 3 minutes

Due to the huge difference in potency, it was impossible to think that the immortal would lose.

The result was that the Yomigaeri were resurrected intact, and the paladins had fallen.

The wolf riders quickly gathered the fallen holy knights, bound their shadows and closed their movements.

「Hehe, holy knight-san, from the moment you attacked us, it has been our victory. In addition, this knife was coated with a powerful sleeping medicine.

Or did you previously prepare the antidote? You know it won't reject anything other than poison, right? 」

Thus, the low-ranking warrior explained with an arrogant look.

Seriously.

The holy knights chuckled in response to their sermon and my thoughts had fallen into confusion.

Of course, that was not the only situation in the war.

In this clever scheme, only the Yomigaeri had such an effect on the opponent.

The next groups attacked without any carelessness and without even receiving a single blow.

Even so, the enemy wore shiny armor to begin with; almost covering their entire body, hurting them was difficult.

It was precisely because they lowered their defenses after delivering a fatal blow, that the Yomigaeri were able to scratch them.

However, the dozen people who managed to leave the battlefield with scratches evaluated this.

To fight the holy knights, the trinity formation was used to support them.

Yomegaeri as the main rider, Hiryu and the wolves in turn as support.

By cooperating in a perfect formation through communicating with the mind transmission, they were on par with the holy knights.

They were able to reduce the number of enemies at first because they had set the foundation and were able to cooperate well.

Or rather ... yes?

Is there such a strategy?

When I dueled Hinata, wasn't the location of the fight a bit isolated?

While I was thinking this, Shion sent a signal.

Diablo who floated in the air due to the gesture made an evil smile and nodded.

(Kufufuf. Leave me. However, please take responsibility Shion-san.)

Parting with such words, he flew away happily.

Huh huh? Shouldn't you be monitoring from above?

About the ecstatic smile earlier, the holy knight squadron should have something in mind. Perhaps, they were planning to put up a barrier.

Thanks to the monitoring network through Souei's shadow that was associated with thought, various information regarding the war situation flowed in.

Therefore, Diablo does not need to move anywhere …

While I was thinking about this, Shion jerked her chin with a cute yet flirtatious move.

Before, Gobuta and Gabil looked at each other,

(Um, It feels like this is a little different from what was discussed during the strategy meeting, what ..)

(That's why! I'm not sure why, but I feel like I should have fought someone stronger?)

Gobuta and Gabil questioned this.

Fine .

I already thought something was wrong. I'm happy, I'm not wrong.

Despite this, though,

(Are you idiots? Do it quickly and do as you are told, or do you want me to test my new work (trial) on you?)

I'm sure that's what Shion thinks.

No, I may not be sure, though,

(I understand! We want to go all out anyway. Of course, I'll hand out the dishes! ”

(Then go to Gabil-san. If you don't go, I'll catch you.)

And he left in a hurry.

No, you're not wrong.

But, this is weird. For some reason even with Gobuta and Gabil, the flow of fighting has deteriorated.

Then, when the two joined forces, Souei and his 5 subordinates began to move.

They matched the number of small saint knight squadrons with 8 people perfectly. Apparently, 8 of them had decided to suppress the small squadron of opponents.

Wait, huh? Shion, since when did you split up? That's not this kind of strategy?

(Shion, I have reached the location, I will be the opponent of this squadron.)

Souei's mind had just been transmitted.

Ah, is that really so. Souei has also been reassured..well, Souka and comrades. having returned and will support Gabil is what I thought at the time.

Yuuka: Until now I felt like a blind kid playing football. What is happening again ~

Smoggy: I think Souei's group attacked the barrier team.

Thus, they were divided into 3 directions, but the enemy still had two forces left.

I can do this myself. I am willing to do it! I've got to say it .

Now, where's the rest of the army?

(My master, please give me permission to start the attack!)

(Ranga, you wake up)

(Yes! My body feels light. I want to exercise lightly after waking up ..).

I wonder what's with that.

It's dangerous to let this guy off! This seems to be what my risk prediction tells me.

Well, maybe it's not me who will be in danger, but my enemy …

(O, ok! But don't be so rash. I'd rather you don't kill them ..).

(Give me!)

Ranga howled happily, and happily ran away.

Now, I can only pray for the safety of the Holy Knights. Good luck! The fact that I cheered for the enemy is a secret.

Shion looked at them with satisfaction, and licked his lips.

I glanced at the pink end of his tongue, but there was something fishy about that wetness.

Yuuka: This really turned into an ero novel.

Smoggy: Maybe to fight?

He turned and looked at me,

「Now Rimuru-sama, I will go first! 」

Nodding as strongly as possible, he leaped out with great force using both feet and flew with momentum as if he was trying to pierce through the sky.

Ah, good luck ... uh, what?

It's become a series of events now.

The reason my head went crazy, I wonder if I ever know?

Yuuka: I actually banged my head against the table at this moment.

Smoggy: Make sure to fix it afterwards ok? oh, and there's a little used ice block to cool your head afterwards in the fridge.

One way or another, the battle plan seems to have been largely revised.

Indeed, the 1 vs 1 situation with Hinata was done as intended.

The environment around the area was made so that not once could interfere with a fight.

Even so ... Hm? I don't think I plan to be like this?

Let's change my point of view for a moment.

Even so, I might have the feeling to schedule things to change like this in the first place.

I also changed my emotions, the situation was ideal.

No problem .

I said that to myself, I went to see Hinata.

YUKA?: WHAT HAVE YOU MET HIM ?! WHAT AM I EDITING NOW?

Smoggy: Rimuru's observation of the battle?

Hinata looked like she had something to say, but she had a bitter expression on her face ……

Suddenly, he laughed out loud because he had made a breakthrough.

「Well, yes it is true. In the end……

I probably think too much. Am I right, am I wrong.

Let's solve this in the most ancient way.

Are you going to accept this? Single battle.

Mister demon slime ... no, Rimuru.

I admit this. At this point, a small trick is useless.

The tactics that I had carefully planned, were all in vain.

This was the first time I felt like laughing at my own helplessness.

Based on the situation we have gradually lost, meaning the fight here might also be planned by you.

But, if you want me to accept your thoughts, show me and hit me.

If you win over me, I'll listen to what you say!

Not just you, I will believe that monsters and humans can understand each other.

Of course, if you feel that I still cannot accept your thoughts, I will die fighting to the end. 」

Without a hint of confusion in her eyes, Hinata looked at me.

His facial expression, losing all misery, made him appear younger than he really was.

No, based on appearances alone she looks like a high school student.

Compared to the previous adult-like Hinata, this Hinata gave off a more natural feeling.

Throwing away everything he shouldered, he only wanted to challenge me.

Like he said, based on the situation I've won. However, unlike what he had thought, there was still a reason for me to fight him.

It's a situation I want, there's no reason for me to refuse.

I did this to open his eyes.

「Ok, I accept your challenge! I'll make you open your eyes! 」

At that moment, a promise was exchanged between the two.

The presence or absence of promises makes no difference.

Words were no longer necessary, the fight between the two signified the beginning of the end.
