Chapter 77 Crushing the Commanders While Dealing with Inventory

I tried to think of a way to overcome the current situation while fighting the ants.

No matter how you look at it, it’s impossible to escape with Nina and Esther.

I mean, we’ve already fulfilled our role to buy some time, so we would have escaped already if we could.

Should I and Ian challenge our limits with our guts while letting the children rest?

There’s a high chance that someone will be killed if we lose our concentration halfway through…

How about feeding the ants?

I think it can be a temporary solution.

However, considering their nature, they won’t back down unless we defeat the leader, the Queen Ant.

Queen Ant

Rank: A

Skills: Body Strengthening 61, Bite 50, Command 31, Coercion 29, Egg-laying 51

What about just targeting and defeating the Queen Ant?

Currently, the distance between us and the Queen Ant is too far.

Besides, Queen Ant is an A-rank monster.

Even if we could land an attack, it’s not a small fry that will die in one hit.

But in the end, if we don’t do something about the Queen Ant, there’s no way for all of us to survive….

It’s an enemy that must be defeated in order to survive.

Queen Ant is an A-rank monster, but looking at her status, it’s an opponent I can defeat in a one-on-one fight.

The only problem is the distance….

What should I do to somehow drag her out to the front line…?

The reason why the Queen Ant is staying in the back and doesn’t need to move on her own is that they have a solid chain of command centered on the General Ants

In other words… if we defeat the General Ants one by one and throw food on them to disrupt the chain of command, then the Queen Ant will eventually be forced to go to the front line to take command.

As long as I can close the distance between me and the Queen Ant, I can charge in alone and take her down….

We can win this!

Let’s go with this strategy!

When I threw one piece of orc meat as a test, the movement of the ants at the place it landed was temporarily disrupted.

The orc meat we have can only be sold at a low price due to excess inventory, so there’s no need to hesitate to use it like this if it’s so effective.

「Ian, use Wind Magic to send the orc meat flying to disturb the ant’s formation. It should loosen up their attacks a bit. I’ll charge into the swarm and defeat the General Ants one by one!」

「Understood!」

After replacing the magic buff ornaments with those of the swordsmanship buff… taking advantage of the opening that Ian created, I rushed into the swarm of ants and slashed the general ant into two.

After defeating the commander, as expected, the enemy’s movements slowed down….

Then, I returned to my original position while cutting down the ants that were blocking my way.

After a while, the group of ants that was moving poorly resumed their coordinated attacks once a new commander arrived on the scene.

「Yeah. Rather than annihilating the ants, it’s better to just annihilate the commanders. I don’t know the exact numbers because there are too many of them, but there shouldn’t be more than 1000 general ants…」

From what I can see, there must be hundreds of general ants at most.

「Yes. The ants were attacking poorly, so the three of us could manage somehow even when Master wasn’t around. With this strategy, we should be able to fight easier than before.」

「If Onii-sama decides that it is the best way, I will do my best as his pawn!」

「I also have recovered a little, so I can still do my best~」

Unlike before, the three now have bright expressions.

I think I can trust them with this….

「Thanks. I’ll continue to defeat the general ants, so I’ll leave spreading the meat and reducing their numbers to you three.」

「「「Yes!」」」

I went around crushing the general ants as quickly as possible.

Along the way, my MP reached the limit several times, but the enemy’s chain of command was greatly disturbed, so they were just small fry monsters, so I could afford to go back to my allies to take a break.

Now, only a few general ants are left, so the ants are having a hard time.

The Queen Ant also has come out to the front, so it’s about to start the battle.

「Let’s end this now. I’ll defeat the Queen Ant, so use meat and wind magic to make a way.」

I drink a few potions and force myself to recover my MP to full.

Come to think of it, everyone drank a lot of potions, but no one has gone to the bathroom….

I’m moving around a lot, but are the three of them okay?

Just in case something like this happens in the future… let’s give them some underwear enchanted with item box later.

…… The battle hasn’t ended yet, so let’s stop thinking about vulgar things and do it seriously.

「Air Cyclone!」

「Air Tornado!」

At the same time as the three created a path with wind magic, I rushed toward the Queen Ant.

「Water Cyclone! Water Cyclone!」

While defeating the ants with my magic, I forced my way deeper and arrived at the Queen ant, which is about 15m tall… even larger than the general ant.
