When Victor arrives at Mu

At that time, he found that the village was surrounded. The Ischfanian scouts got there first.
Thankfully, all the training and drills paid off. Everyone in the company of V&V Adventurers was armed, and the citizens set up a roadblock south of the village, where the main source of troops was. Allison and Rollo rallied a thick barrier of brambles and blackberries around the village to delay the invaders' advance and tangle the soldiers with the plants.
Riding on the back of the Black Beast, Victor rushes from the north to the town square, where his followers fight off dozens of invaders around Winkle's statue. Most enemies are heavily armed elven soldiers with tridents or cursed bows, and giant gargoyles are their main weapons.
Thanks to weapons purchased by Barnabas or from Malfoy - who all took part in the battle - the dwarfs, kobolds and undead held their own against their opponents, grouped together in numbers three to one. The completely transformed werewolf, under the leadership of Croissant, dealt with the more powerful gargoyle.
Little Winkle joined in the melee, grabbing the elves with his hands and swallowing them whole. Other imitators shaped like boxes, swords and cakes followed, like wolves eating sheep.
Seeing everyone working together, Victor's heart warmed.
The strangest attackers are disembodied, demon-like living shadows; they cast lightning spells on natives and kobolds, killing one each. Red and the commandos tried to shoot them with arrows and musket balls, but they phased through them. Only Chocolat, who remained in human form, and Moonman's priest hit them with a light spell.
"Sir!" Rhett was delighted with Victor's arrival. "Our weapons cannot hit the shadows!"
But chocolate spells can. As immaterial beings, they may only be vulnerable to magic or special abilities. Victor used his [Monster Insight] on the nearest shadow monster.

All of them could get him promoted to the finance department.
"You must be a representative of international business," the Shadow Demon hissed at Victor. “Genocidal chocolate!”
"You're half right," Victor replied. "As far as I know, no demon in hell can beat me."
"But we're not from hell," the demon said in a smug, amused tone. "We come from Happy Paradise."
Your (Leave Hell KaPe
k was canceled because, the devil.
Son of a bitch... Trusting his [Monster Insight], Victor rushed towards the shadow demon and slashed it with his weapon. The shadow-like monster laughed it off, only to find itself accidentally dragged into the scythe.
Heavy attack! [Helheim] and [Steal Life] activate!
Aha! His Helheim benefits work great on non-corporeal beings!
Victor felt the creature's life force enter his body, easing his fatigue, and the demon's soul joined Freeburn's scythe. "A roommate," the Lich said, sounding both annoyed and strangely pleased. "Finally someone to talk to."
In the end, he will have a lot of money. "I've always been here," Victor pointed out.
"Good company".
Victor, like a mounted Grim Reaper, strikes out at any soldier or demon he can, receiving critical hit notifications for half of his blows. Months ago, he had doubted that he could kill so many enemies so casually; he probably took advantage of the chaos of the battle to escape. Surviving Winkle's antics makes him braver.
A hideous monster that looked like a demon covered in bone spikes engaged Victor, blocking his scythe with a shield and trying to drag him off his mount with a thorn whip. His black beast mount tried to crush his attacker, but the agile demon leapt back. Victor prepares to attack him with a necromancy spell, while his enemy waves his whip menacingly.
The monster then gargles blood as a reptilian hand runs across his back and chest. The body collapses, revealing Savou in full assassin mode
euse, her claws were sharp and bloody. "Dried sausage!" The sight delighted Victor. "You didn't run away, did you?"
"I can't!" she replied, making him cover his face with his free hand. "The elf beasts from the north have cut off my retreat!"
Fairy beast? "Melodieuse," Victor cursed, beheading a gargoyle before it could drag him off his horse. If she had come from the north, the entire village was now surrounded.
Rollo and Allison also joined the fight, and the iron golem hit a gargoyle with a shovel. "[Sheepi
ize]. "
With these words, the giant gargoyle transformed into a black sheep, and Rollo kindly moved it away. "Can farmers do it?" Victor asked in surprise.
"On the 51st floor," Rollo replied, raising his shovel towards his friends threateningly. "You will all be Rollo's sheep!"
"It's a sheep, Rollo," Allison answered, summoning a giant flytrap to catch the gargoyle. "Here are the sheep."
Victor suddenly realized that he didn't want to know Mu

Where do most of the sheep come from. Unlike other rangers, Pi
Instead of firing cannonballs at the devil, K. began singing, "Arise, children of the dragon, the day of glory has come!"
[The bard's song increases your strength by one level.
"The bard's song?" Victor blinked, cutting down an elven archer before he could dismount him. "Pi

“Since I wrote ‘Hoarder Wars!’” Pink shouted, before continuing to sing. "Arm up, servants!" Form your battalions and advance, advance! Let the blood of the cows nourish our crops!"

Inspired by k's bloodthirsty hymn, Victo
and other minions cornered the remaining Scouts against the wall of a house and massacred them, with only the Shadow Demon successfully escaping from the massacre.
"Meat baby!" Little Winkle rinsed his mouth and spit out the remains of a half-digested elf.
"What's the situation?" Victor looked at their troops and asked Red. Most of the minions survived, but they lost dozens of them in the initial attack, with their bodies scattered on the ground. Hundreds of followers and citizens gathered in the town square, awaiting instructions. His [Mook Promotion] Pe
K told him that many people can be promoted because they gain experience from fighting.
"We fought off the scouts, but more are coming!" Red said, his claws trembling as he clutched his rifle. "Tens of thousands!"
"Too many!" Croissant said, Charlene beside him. She looked troubled by her boyfriend's wolfishness, but stood beside him, brandishing her spear. "We must evacuate!"
"They've surrounded us!" Savou
euse replied.
"They still have cavalry," Allison pointed out calmly, noting that she herself couldn't leave the village. "If we try to escape, they will catch us."
"Charlene," Victor turned to the only person in the crowd. "Have you informed Gadmani?" Since the king would be visiting them soon with his entourage, they could warn the king in time for him to mobilize his troops and stop Moore's army.
"I sent out homing pigeons, but most of them were shot by the archers," she replied, clearly fearing for her life. "I don't know if any of them got through, it would have taken them hours to get an army out."
They can only rely on themselves.
As everyone looked at him, Victor realized that the task of organizing the defense fell to him. "There was no way we could win a protracted battle against their overwhelming numbers," he admitted, especially since they were just scouts and most of the army was running toward them. "All we can do is delay until Wacker takes the Flying Fortress, causing the army to collapse."
"The Emperor has taken over the battlefield?" Blue raised his undead skull to the sky, flames blazing.
"Lead us to victory!" Victor raised his scythe, bringing hope to the hearts of the minions. "As we speak, the Emperor is fighting for the great treasure! It is his gold and ours! If these beggars take over the village, they will steal our lives, our sheep, and our Coin! Are we going to run away with our tail between our legs? No! We are going to send them back to where they came from! Remember how we won the Battle of the Horde? We defeated them once and we will win again! Because We are V&V! We are powerful! We are treasures!”
It was a complete, desperate improvisation based on a cartoon speech he'd seen on Earth, but it worked. "We are the treasure!" the servants cheered, while the most level-headed citizens like Allison and Charlene tentatively raised their hands in support. "We are the treasure!"
"They will meet them..." Kobold Huang couldn't help it.
"For my local monopoly!" Malfoy also shouted.
"Follow my orders and we will win!" Victor shouted. "For the treasure!"
[Minions of the Gathering] is activated! The attributes of all followers are increased by one level!
Victor immediately selected the servants he could promote, namely 10 dwarves and all the kobold rangers except Red himself. "Come here," he said, and touched them, causing them to evolve in rapid succession. "Hereby give you a salary increase!"
As they evolved, the gnomes grew from tiny to three meters tall, huge, emaciated humanoid gnomes with skeletal faces and ashen skin. Their eyes turned red and boiled with bestial rage.
Pink and Black, one half of the Kobold Rangers, became a red copy of Pink and Black, though Pink had a more girly figure. Blue and Yellow turned into skeletons of their own kind, with a beating black heart on their chests; Blue's bones turned dark blue, and Yellow's turned gold.
Your goblin evolves into a grave goblin.
Kobold Pink Ranger and Kobold Black Ranger evolve into Raptor Ranger.
The dog-headed Blue Ranger and the dog-headed Yellow Ranger evolve into kobolds.
"We have all grown up, and our skin color has changed!" Blue's joy.
Victor immediately started distributing orders. "Allison, keep pestering the enemy. Rangers, once enough soldiers are trapped, set the thorns on fire. Shoot anyone who breaks through with arrows and bullets. Malfi, fill the sky with insects so they can't Arrows are being fired at us. We must create chaos so that they cannot avoid friendly fire. Pi
k, keep singing. You, Squidward Priest, and Chocolat-"
"Yes?" Hearing her name, the werewolf's head stood up, which made him shudder.
"You want to focus on buffing werewolves and grays with spells, or healing the wounded, unless you encounter a shadow demon, in which case you want to roast them." She seemed to like this wording too much. "Rollo, Junior, Savi, we will fortify the north with new troops. The others are hit and run; ambushed, isolated, swarmed, and then retreated behind fire and thorns. Squeeze every inch of them dry."
"What new troops, Vic?" Savou
euse asked anxiously.
"These: [Animated Death]," Victor activated his Pe
k, resurrected zombies from both sides. Since he didn't sacrifice any gold, he only created sentient monsters, but they make for decent meat shields and complement heavy hitters.
As Malfi summons a swarm of hungry locusts and Allison begins planting a trench of thorns, Victor turns to the kobold Red. "You decide. Remember, ambush and retreat, just like in Haudemer."
"Yes, sir!" the ranger struck a pose. "We must protect the treasure with our lives!"
Congratulations! Because you led an army of followers in the name of your dragon master against overwhelming odds, your [Monster Servant] profession has been promoted to [Monster Knight (Red Dragon)]!
Your [Rally Servant] and [Mook Ascension] career perks have been enhanced!
Hmm? Not bad…
At least that's what he thought until his whole body started itching and burning. Within seconds, black wings nearly identical to Winkle's sprouted from Victor's back and cloak, and a crimson reptilian tail protruded from his pants.
Victor remained motionless on his mount for a few seconds, uncomfortable with the new sensation and the looks of the other minions. Fu

Laughing like a madman from his scythe.
"Shut up!" the wielder complained. It could wag its new tail as if it had grown up with it, but...
Damn, he's going to be a mini version of Weigel! How disgusting!
in spite of. He would worry about it later. He ordered his mount to charge north, followed by his undead slaves and other minions.
…
It turns out that riding a beast with a tail is very uncomfortable.
The improvised group soon arrived at the sheepfold to the north of the village, where five Elf Hounds, like the ones they had fought in Ishfania, broke in and trampled on the things they had collected for the dragon guests. on the food. Melodyus looked down at them from above on the back of a horned black pegasus, flanked by three huge, terrifying ravens and a group of dragon riders.
"My flock!" Rollo saw his sheep being trampled and his rusty body began to heat up; the golem outran Victor's own mount and broke through the fence like an unstoppable behemoth. . Behind him, Death cut the flesh of an elf hound that tried to pounce on him, and both the beast and the squire's own horse circled around each other. Savou
Euse hides among the frightened sheep, waiting for an opportunity to attack.
The fairy birds swooped down upon them like birds of prey, and one of them suddenly seized hold of Saviruth and tried to drag her up. Ju

Captured several sheep as they tried to escape and used them as makeshift projectiles to throw at the crow, forcing the crow to release its captives. The Mimic then took the sword as bait and used it to cut the neck of an Elven Hound that was reaching for him. "Sword!" Ju

Roaring, showing off surprising swordsmanship.
Above them, Melodyus began chanting a spell. Victor, still struggling with the pain in his hip, tried to attack her by blasting hellfire from his fingertips, but she immediately summoned a purple barrier around herself and her mount.
Her Wyvern bodyguards began firing at them with volleys of arrows, Victor incinerating the projectiles before they could hit him. Rollo just shrugged and was busy manhandling an elf hound, beating the hell out of it with a shovel. The arrow struck Junior, causing him to cry out in pain, while Xavierus dodged everything.
"[Death Candle]." Victor cast a spell, summoning a small bundle of will from the remains of the sheep. He sent them to besiege the Dragon Knights and stop their attack. Meanwhile, the undead he created finally joined the fight, gathering together in hordes like a horde of zombies. The beast collapsed under the weight of dozens of walking corpses.
Well, this is much better than expected! Maybe they can handle it
"Crimson lightning."
As melodiuse spoke these words, a powerful red lightning bolt struck Victo
and his mount. The black beast of the Cuckoo Forest fell with one punch, and its rider jumped from his back and crashed to the dirt, losing control of his scythe along the way.
You've taken huge damage! Important health!
"Oh." Frippon chuckled in his scythe as Victor struggled to his feet. "Is your luck going to run out?"
Victor looked up from the dust to find an elf hound with its mouth open hungrily, ready to eat him. A large, dark bird also flew down to eat him.
No.
It is much larger than a bird, or a flying dragon rider.
Before the elf hound could even look up to see its impending death, the giant fly landed on it, and its immense power scattered a cloud of dust and sheep in all directions.
When Victor regained his sight, he found himself staring into the yellow eyes of a green dragon, almost as big as Winkle but more like a crocodile than a lizard.
"You smell like a chief of staff, and you look like a dragon, enough to make you half-civilized," the green dragon said in a grandiose, arrogant tone. Seeing the ancient reptile, the beast and the dragon knight stopped attacking. "Tell me, Vink's minions, is this a welcome buffet?" I was told that there was a sweet poisonous sauce that tasted great to cows and pigs, and was for the trendy morning crowd. "
"Yes!" Victor replied, realizing that this was his opportunity. He pointed at the elf beasts. "But those farmers are trying to destroy the food!"
"Are the fairies trying to play tricks again? Didn't they know about the food chain when we first ate their cows?" The dragon turned to the sky and roared. "Winkle brought us elves and delicious birds As a snack!”
"The elf belongs to me!" A red dragon smaller than Winkle roared down from above and pecked a dragon knight like an eagle attacking a dove. Melodiuse immediately cast a spell that strengthened her barrier, but her companions were not so lucky.
Soon, a group of dragons descended from the sky. Most of them went south to find Ishfania's army, but four swooped down to prey on flying dragons and fairy birds. The green dragon lets Victor feast on fairy dogs and sheep indiscriminately, turning the battle into a one-sided feast of massacre.
Melodyus looked down upon the devastation, leaving her escorts to die while moving closer to Victor with a look of hatred. "The gates of hell have fallen," she said. "My plans for a garden fell through. You ruined everything."
"It's been you all along," Victor realized, hands reaching for the scythe. "Apple, Scorch Man, Moore's invasion...you arranged all of this!"
"None of this would have happened without you." Melodyus glared at him. "You taught Winkle the secrets of this cursed class system, and now our legitimate mission to retake Overmond will become more difficult than ever."
"Teach? You are exaggerating."
"It doesn't matter. More lizards will follow in his footsteps. But you won't live long enough to see it. (Fear of the Dark)."
Before Victor could fight back, he was engulfed by the dark aura, draining his life and vitality. As he looked down from above, an inexplicable fear of death gripped him.
HP and SP reduced to 1! [Horror] Disease! [Death Horror] Disease!
"Any last words?" Melodiuse asked Victo pretending to be polite.
. He noticed Savou
Euse rushed to save him, but she was too far away to do anything.
Victor used [Monster Insight], trying to decipher any weaknesses the woman might have.
???
Damn it! "We can't... say it?"
Charisma check…
Failed!
"We just did, Manling," Melodyus raised his hand. "Death peak."
As sharp spears of ice rise from beneath Victor, he realizes that maybe he should have a better insurance plan.
