In front of Aya and I,
were 50 Goblin generals approaching.
「Aren’t they a bit too much, oniichan?」
「Are you scared, Aya?」
「A-, After all, aren’t there 50 monsters?」
「We don’t need to kill them all for now since our goal is to constrain them.」
「Is that so, then how are we going to do it?」
I placed both of my hands on the ground like a certain Alchemist and used【Earth magic】.1
*rumble rumble rumble*
「What are you doing, oniichan!?」
「I’m digging a ditch.
After all, when I say constrain the enemies, it’s with this.」
Using【Earth magic】, I created a『Ditch』with a width and depth of 5 m and a length of 200 m.
「But, oniichan. The goblin general……
would be able to climb up the ditch?」
「N!?」
Since the goblin general has a huge body, it was trying climb up the ditch.
「*flustered* Wait, time out!」
I frantically pushed down the general who was trying to climb up.
Aya was laughing in the back.
「Oy, you idiot. We’re in the midst of the battle here! Help me!」
「Oh, that’s right. I’m sorry, I’m sorry.」
I dealt with the general who was climbing and entrusted the expansion of the ditch to Aya at top speed.
When the ditch expanded to 10 m in width and depth, the General could no longer climb up.
「Fuu, we were able to do it somehow, huh.」
「Oniichan, the generals who didn’t fall into the ditch, snuck around to the left and right.」
「*Flustered* Wait, time out! time out!」
It’s impossible to increase the length of the ditch any further.
There are a total of 25 generals who didn’t fall into the ditch.
10 of them are trying to go around to the right and 15 to the left.
「I leave the 10 monsters in the right to you, Aya.」
「Roger!」
I blocked the 15 monsters, who went around to the left, with the magic rod in hand.
Unexpectedly, the 15 Generals are going to force their way through without intending to fight me.
I sent the generals flying with the magic rod,
they fell into the ditch one after another.
When I tidied up the 15 monsters and was going to somehow support Aya―
She defeated 1 General and was battling with the 4 of them.
Hm? 5 of them escaped?
Anyway, I sent the 4, whom she was battling, flying into the ditch.
「I’m sorry, oniichan. I’ve let 5 of them get away.」
When I checked the map, the 5 monsters who escaped were moving towards the central plains.
「Well, the guys over there would be able to cope if it’s about 5 of them.」
After a while, I watched the 44 generals who fell into the ditch―
Some were trying to climb up riding the shoulders of others,
some were trying to throw weapons,
some were trying to hit the ditch’s wall one way or another.
I decided to dump water and ice from the surface in order to prevent them from getting away.
