Chapter 61: Call

Nearly ten days have passed since then.

I was called by a demon officer and I’m walking around the city with his cronies. I don’t know where we’re going, but it looks like we’re going outside the city.

The demon officer is heading straight into the forest. I wonder where they are going?

After going through the forest like that for a while, my vision brightened and I came to a large open space.

It was a clearing surrounded by a large forest where a large number of aliens were training for battle.

As I stood there, the demon officer called out a command.

The aliens gather in a huddle. Each one of them seemed to be in a frenzied mood, each one having its own target.

Even looking at them this way, I can see that they are using very traditional weapons.

Swords, axes, spears, clubs, bows, and arrows. In addition, they use magical catalysts such as wands and amulets, and some of the aliens are apparently bare-handed. I’m wearing a knife, an apron, and a paper bag.

Some of them are wearing armor, but many of them are wearing only light clothing. I don’t look like I’m going into a battlefield with bullets flying around.

But they are really strong, which is a problem. Most of the time, new recruits are taken aback by the appearance of the aliens and end up getting hurt or even dying without even realizing it.

First of all, aliens are very defensive. Their clothes can catch a bullet from a pistol, and in some cases, they have a magical, but invisible membrane that bounces the bullet back to you.

To kill them, you need at least an assault rifle or shotgun. If you’re dealing with a heavily armed alien, you’ll need more than a Fifty-Cal heavy machine gun.

The attack power is also not to be underestimated.

Their swords, axes, spears, and clubs are very effective weapons for killing human soldiers.

To begin with, they are no match for human soldiers because of their physical structure. If you get close to them, no matter how you resist, they will cut you to pieces.

If you use a large caliber gun at close range, you can fight the aliens, but they’re not stupid.

If they hide behind a shield or approach you from a blind spot, it’s over. It’s especially bad if they have a shield. When it comes to guns and shields, the shields have the advantage in this fight. What a joke.

The incomprehensible power of magic is also deadly.

Why does a simple wave of the hand activate a burst of flames? The selection of sniper targets on the battlefield was a real gamble because you never knew who was going to attack you back.

Even if you manage to get around it, you’re at a disadvantage because of the number of bullets in your firearm; if you can’t kill them with one magazine, you’re done. There was no time to reload.

I’ve become a Butcher, and it’s clear to me that people are vulnerable. Without guns and bullets, they are too weak.

That’s why humans always try to form a team and put up a barrage, but that strategy has been exposed long ago.

In order to break the human group strategy, and approach rapidly while using magic for protection. They used to fight in melee and destroy each other individually. And this was extremely effective against physically disadvantaged humans.

Large machines such as airplanes and tanks can be an effective countermeasure against aliens, but they are too costly to be effective. An aircraft or a tank that costs a lot of money and takes a lot of time to build is evenly matched by a group of ten live aliens. That’s unrealistic.

Aliens can magically intercept missiles and planes flying at Mach speed if they are properly prepared to intercept them.

It’s easy to do. You put a barrier in the air. It’s probably the same thing that stops bullets. That’s it. planes and missiles will disperse and crash if they are grazed by the barrier. Aircraft have to be light, so their bodies are actually thin.

Moreover, the barrier can be instantly deployed in the sky, making it impossible to detect. They were invisible to radar. Once a large number of such thin layers are deployed, it’s like a summer bug that flies into the fire. Jets are not designed for blindfolded obstacle runs.

A big, slow tank is nothing more than a running coffin if it’s not managed very well. The aliens are waving their arms gracefully like conductors in the distance, and with a yell, light falls from the sky and boom. A shiny, seven-colored arrow flies, and then boom. The alien sneaks up on you, and with a soft touch of his bare hand, boom. It was a nightmare.

Nowadays, such large weapons have been saved to fight against the big monsters on the alien side, i.e., dragons, giants, and phantoms, or for the decisive battle over the Fort.

Instead, there was a weapon that emerged on the human side. Heavy artillery. Artillery is the god of the battlefield.

In fact, it turned out that simply hitting aliens with lead bullets were far more effective in killing them with flames, poison gas, or lasers.

They have unusually high defenses against exposure to high heat, shock waves, and poisons, but not so much against kinetic energy projectiles.

In a way, this was not surprising, considering that they used swords, axes, bows, and arrows to hit each other. If they were hit with a kinetic energy that could penetrate mysterious protective barriers, mysterious clothes, and mysterious armor, the aliens would usually get hurt.

In the end, it was much more efficient to spread shrapnel on the battlefield and fight guerrilla-style with infantry armed with cheap and portable heavy weapons than to operate expensive and sophisticated weapons in the fight against the aliens.

So humans built fortified cities called Forts, which were defended from within walls strong enough to withstand the magic attacks of the aliens, with powerful heavy artillery raining lead bullets on the battlefield outside.

This would make it extremely difficult for the aliens to attack the Fort.

As expected, they would not be able to withstand the rain of shrapnel or the targeted fire of fixed artillery. They didn’t have ultra-long-range weapons like cruise missiles, so they were at a disadvantage in that they had to get somewhat close to the fighting.

It was during this time that the heavens once sided with mankind in the process of building a defensive city fort on the front lines, which was crucial in the fight against the aliens. This was before I was born.

In the early days of the war, when there was still no Fort, the alien attacks were swift and merciless, and humanity was unable to counter them and was being pushed into the war with tremendous casualties. To put it bluntly, we were doomed. The invasion was so blitzkrieg-like that we could have perished.

However, there was a time when the alien front line all pulled back and stopped aggressively attacking for almost twenty years.

We don’t know what happened to the alien camp at that time.

At one point, there was a rumor that the aliens were so horrified by the nuclear weapons that humans had used just before that that they withdrew, but that turned out to be wrong. Aliens are not afraid of nuclear weapons. Later, they came to the conclusion that the use of nuclear weapons would only strangle the human race, and now their use is forbidden.

In any case, humanity was able to build a strong front line by building the fortified city of Fort and the supporting military base Stronghold in the gap.

After a while, the alien invasion resumed, but the humans fought back with guerrilla warfare, sometimes getting support artillery from the Fort and support troops from Stronghold.

And here we are.

While looking at the aliens’ abominable antique equipment, I was thinking back on the history of the war.

The demon officer said something to the soldiers there and stepped forward with me.

As he walked away, I saw around twenty people.

If you look closely, you can see that the target is a human being that is being used for alien combat training right now.

Humans were thrown into cages, tied to pillars. About half of them were already scattered like pieces of meat. They were all silent.

From the way they’re dressed, that looks like a tango team. I wonder if they are the survivors of the people who attacked Ferris’ house last time. Are they still hanging around here? Why don’t you just get the hell out of here? Or maybe they were preparing for a second attack.

There was also another guy in the cage who looked like an alien. That could have been a spy in disguise – an AASPINT.

Judging from the situation, it seems like this is for execution purposes as well, but why here? Why not do it in the city? That way they can sell it as fresh meat. If you kill it here and take it away, it won’t be fresh.

While I was inwardly showing my butcher side, a person was dragged out of the cage and rolled in front of me.

A woman with tabby ears and a tail, she looked like a leopard beastmen. Is this woman also an AASPINT? That’s a high level of disguise.

With a pop, the demon officer’s hand landed on my shoulder.

『This is your prey. Do as you please.』

Oops……this demon officer is a telepath. He put his hand on my shoulder and spoke to me without a control terminal. A husky voice. Pretty cool voice.

…… I guess I’m put on the test again…….

I was slightly suspicious of his words, as the incident with the orc officer the other day was still lingering in my mind.

At the same time, the phrase “my prey” stuck with me a little.

I look down at the appearance of the leopard woman lying on the ground slowly.

……I then notice.

This is the person who was following Ferris the other day.

I see, after that, Lydia seems to have been able to quickly spread the information. It’s probably because of that information that they got caught.

Hahaha …… So, by any chance, the people here are an infiltration group who were caught all at once like harvesting vines of potatoes?

Good. I see you’ve rounded up all the people who were after Ferris. Nice work, demon officer.
