Chapter 89
The battle started with the Artillery Division doing their stuff. A rain of arrows, magic spells, and whatever else fell upon the poor goblins that were used as the front-line... no, maybe they were intended to be used as a meat shield? War tactics are scary~. I have to make a memo of that.
"Commander to each Officer and Vice-Officers. Good work with the first attack. Prepare to intercept any incoming enemies while the Artillery Division prepares another shower. Also, have your shields ready in case the scum tries to monkey us. Remember, citizens, death is not allowed. To live and survive is your duty." - Garami
["What is that supposed to mean!?"]
["Something like ’our Commander is ruthless, so don’t disappoint her if you hold your life dear’-kind of feeling."]
I gave the next order with a hint of a joke to the front-liners through the special, System-based communication line, one of the privileges of being the Commander.
As for the battlefield, the goblins chose to be monkeys. All the magic spells, arrows, or whatever they’re using, was repelled thanks to the many shields the front-liners had prepared.
"Someone’s having fun." - ???
"You bet... why’re you here?" I asked the Raven Goblin standing behind me instead of hiding in the shelters,
"Because this place is the safest one in the whole town." - Gust
"...Right in front of the battlefield?" - Garami
"You’re here after all~." - Gust
