Chapter 310: Clean-up Operation
โTakumi-san, be careful.โ ๐๐ฟ๐๐ฆ๐๏ฝ ๐ฃn๐ฐ๐ทeฦ.c๐ฐ๐บ
โโOnii~chan, be careful.โ
The next morning, the children, Rebecca-san and Velio-san saw me off.
โIโm the Captain of the accompanying troops, Orlando.โ
โIโm looking forward to working with you.โ
โIโve told Orlando to follow your instructions, Takumi-san, so if you need anything done, please donโt hesitate to ask.โ
โEhh!?โ
It seems that the adventurers will basically be in charge of the battle, and the soldiers will only participate in the battle if the adventurers are in danger, and the rest of the time they will provide logistical support.
I was introduced to the captain who would be in charge of the soldiers, but for some reason I seemed to have some sort of command authority as well.
โTakumi-san, itโs if something happenedโฆ so you donโt have to think about it too much.โ
โโฆ Understood.โ
Reading my hesitation, Velio-san took the initiative to explain. I canโt refuse it if Iโm told like this.
โAllen, Elena, should I leave Joule and others with you?โ
โโNope.โโ
โTake them with.โ
โYou, Onii~chan.โ
Before we left, I talked to the children again and suggested leaving Joule and the others behind so that they wouldnโt be lonely, but they refused.
โHuh, is that fine with you?โ
โโYeah.โโ
โIf in trouble.โ
โCall everyone, okay?โ
It made me happy to hear why they refused.
I guess they were worried about me because we had a lot of enemies this time, so they wanted me to take Joule and the others with me.
โThank you. I will properly call for everyoneโs help if the situation gets out of control.โ
โโYeah, donโt get injured.โโ
โGot it. Then, I will see you later.โ
โโHave a safe trip~โโ
When I went to the Adventurerโs Guild, many adventurers had already gathered there.
โTakumi, over here.โ
Evan-san, who noticed my arrival, beckoned me over, calling out loudly.
โGood morning.โ
โMorning. Everyone is already here.โ
โHuh? Am I late?โ ๐ณ๐ฏ๐e๐e๐๐ฏ๐ฮฝ๐l.๐o๐ข
โNo, we are just about to begin. Look, here he is.โ
Noah-san, the Guild Master of the Adventurerโs Guild, instructed the adventurers to gather.
โAre we all here? Alright, listen up, everyone.โ
Then, Noah-san explained the details of this subjugation.
It takes about half a day to reach the Orc nest by carriage. We will move out and meet up with the reconnaissance team ahead of us at a safe place near the site. Weโll reconfirm the situation, decide on a strategy, and start the subjugation the next morning.
โAnd lastly, we need to decide the leaderโฆ normally, the leader is supposed to be the one with the highest rank, butโฆโ
โThatโs Takumi.โ
โIndeed.โ
Noah-san, Evan-san, and Scott-san were looking at me. Furthermore, the gazes of the adventurers who noticed his gaze also turned towards me.
โEh, thatโs impossible for me!โ
Itโs too much to ask of me, so I refused with all my might.
โI thought so. Even though you are A-ranker, you still lack experience in this department~โโIn that case, I will leave it to you, Scott.โ
I guess he didnโt really want to leave it to me from the beginning. Noah-san easily backed down and appointed Scott-san as the leader.
โRoger that.โ
โTakumi, can you be the sub-leader?โ
โErmโฆ if other adventurers have no objections?โ
โIs there anyone whoโฆ has objections?โ
Iโm sure some of the adventurers donโt know who I am, but since Iโve already been mentioned as an A-ranked adventurer, no one objected, so I became the sub-leader.
โIโm counting on you all.โ
After the preparations were complete, Noah-san and the other guild staff saw us off, and we set off.
We arrived at our destination a few hours laterโฆ after being shaken around by a carriage.
โIsnโt this a good place?โ
โYeah. Letโs make our camp here.โ
After deciding on the location of the encampment, the adventurers who were good at covert action headed toward the Orc nest to meet up with the advance party. The remaining adventurers begin to prepare the camp.
โTakumi-san, letโs start the strategy meeting.โ
After a while, the people who had gone to pick up the advance party returned, and we decided to have a meeting to share information.
โThank you for your time. First, let me introduce myself. Iโm Scott, the leader of the subjugation team.โ
โIโm Takumi, the sub-leader.โ
When Scott-san said his name, he glanced at me, so I introduced myself.
โIโm Cino. Iโm coordinator of the reconnaissance team.โ
โAny injuries?โ
โNone at all.โ
Scott-san, myself, and Orlando-san were at the strategy meeting. The other ones were the leaders of each adventuring party, Evan-san, who was in the same party as Scott-san, and three members of the advance party.
โLet us hear the report please.โ
โI have already reported the number of Orcs to be around two hundred. There are at least ten High Orcs, three Orc Mages and an Orc General.โ
(โฆโฆ)
The leaders who were participating in the meeting froze with shocked expressions.
The adventurers said that they hoped there would be only a High Orc, even if it was a higher species. But they were shocked to hear that there were not one or two, but ten High Orcs, as well as Orc Mages and Orc Generals.
โWellโฆ letโs plan a strategy, so we can take them down with our safety as the first priority.โ
โSafely, you say! Thatโs impossible!โ
โRight! Our forces are too small for this!โ
The silence lasted for a while, and no one showed any signs of opening their mouths, so I spoke up, butโฆ This had triggered the leaders to get excited and they started calling me reckless.
โWhat exactly is reckless about this?โ
โIsnโt that obvious!? There are too many higher species!โ
โSo can we proceed if the higher species are out of the picture?โ
โWellโฆ yeah, somewhat. But! The reconnaissance has confirmed the presence of the higher species, so โif there are no higher speciesโ is a moot point!โ
It seems that they will be able to deal with the large number of Orcs if there are no higher species present.
โThen, what if I said I would take on all the higher species?โ
(Haah!?)
Everyone but me shouted at my words and froze in place.
