Shota's Isekai NTR Adventure-Chapter 63 What Must Come Will Come (1)

Over the next few days, we continued making preparations for the monster wave.

Cecilia continued making skirmishes against the monster wave, slowly bringing down their numbers.

In the few days that passed, they were able to take out another two hundred monsters out of the total over eight hundred that were left.

From the original over a thousand monsters that were heading towards the town, there were now only over six hundred left.

That was almost half of the monster wave that had been taken care of because of these skirmish attacks.

But now was the hard part.

These guerilla attacks were fights against small groups of monsters that had wandered off, so they never fought a single fight where they were outnumbered. Every single time, it was the humans who had outnumbered the monsters.

Now they would be completely surrounded and outnumbered by the monsters…

Humans were already weaker physically compared to monsters, so they would be even further at a disadvantage.

At the very least, they would have two hundred soldiers that would be able to fight.

Cecilia had always only brought out a hundred with her so that half of their forces would remain in the town. That was just in case they were wiped out, the ones that were left in the town could help those that were still in the town run away to lower the number of casualties.

There would be those that wouldn't run, but at the very least, they would be able to save some of the women and children.

If the women were caught by the monsters…they would be violated to the point where even their parents wouldn't recognize them anymore. It was the same with the children…the monsters violated them regardless of their gender…

Monsters were cruel like that, they didn't discriminate.

No matter how one looked at it, this was a losing battle still.

But at the very least, they would have the walls of the town on their side.

When they fought the monsters outside of the town, they fought in wide open spaces. But if they were to protect the town, they would at least have the thick walls of the town to depend on.

Even if the monsters were powerful, it wasn't as if they could break through the strong walls that the humans had constructed. That was why human towns were safe in this monster filled world in the first place.

From these walls, they would be able to shoot down at the monsters without taking any casualties.

This would help make up for the difference in terms of numbers and strength.

As we stood on the walls, Cecilia and I looked out at the monsters that were approaching with knitted brows.

These monsters would be here soon, so it was too late to escape even if someone wanted to escape. The moment that they tried and left the town, they would be completely surrounded by the monsters outside and killed.

So the only path of survival was to take down these monsters.

All of the other soldiers on the wall were tense, but I could tell that Cecilia's expression was worse than normal.

She might have had a bad look on her face facing these monsters, but it wouldn't be as tense as this. It was clear that there was something new that she was worrying about…

So I couldn't help asking, "What's wrong?"

Cecilia didn't say anything at first, but then she said with a sigh, "It's worse than I thought."

I couldn't help revealing a surprised and confused look before asking, "What do you mean?"

Cecilia was silent for a bit again before saying, "It seems like the scout reports weren't accurate. It seems that this wave is much stronger than we thought."

I looked out at the monster wave spread out in front of the town and I slowly began understanding what she meant by that.

Since I was now the baron, the amount of information that I had access to was incomparable to before. I was able to see all of the scout reports that were sent back, so I had a good idea of what the situation was.

But the scout reports had only stated that there were low class monsters that were a part of this monster wave.

We had thought the same since only low class monsters were encountered by Cecilia when she made her guerilla attacks.

However, that didn't seem to be the case.

Since I had seen them in the game before transmigrating, I was able to recognize them immediately.

Out in the field in front of the town were several middle class monsters that were standing amongst the low class monsters. These were monsters that hadn't been in the scout reports.

There were hobgoblins, direwolves, goblin riders, barghest, and all kinds of other middle class monsters.

These were monsters that were much stronger than the average soldier and even when several soldiers worked together, they would still be defeated. These were monsters that could only be defeated by the knights working with the soldiers of the town…

There were only twenty knights that had been trained in this town and as for these middle class monsters…

There were over two hundred of them.

It was clear what would happen if they were to fight.

But in the end, this couldn't be blamed on the scouts.

The job of the scouts was already very dangerous, especially so since they were scouting out this large monster wave. They wouldn't have been able to approach this wave that easily and they could only scout out the outer regions of this wave.

These middle class monsters had been in the center of the wave, hidden behind the low class monsters, so the scouts weren't able to find them.

But the fact that we were only learning about them now was a very disadvantageous thing for us.

Cecilia said with a tense look on her face, "It seems like it will be a very hard battle."

I could only nod in response to this.𝗯𝐞𝗱𝐧𝐨𝘃𝐞𝐥.𝗼𝗿𝐠
