Shota's Isekai NTR Adventure

"This..."

That was all that could be said when they saw the giant red worms pop out.

As for me, I was just watching with a faint smile on my lips.

After all, this was my real plan.

When he slowly came back to his senses, General Killock turned to look at me with a strange look as he slowly said, "You knew about all of this?"

I just gave a casual nod before saying, "Why else would I have come all this way? It isn't as if we're here to take in the scenery, right?"

General Killock's expression became even more strange when he heard this, but he didn't ask anything else as he turned back to look at the scene in front of him.

The Midra Kingdom army was completely in disarray from the attacks of the giant red worms. Even when they recovered and could group up to face the giant red worms, it didn't have any effect at all.

These giant red worms had thick hides that blocked the weapons that they were stabbed with.

In many cases, the weapons that hit these thick hides were snapped or even shattered apart. The arrows fired could pierce their skins a bit, but the arrows just weren't strong enough to withstand the pressure that they snapped before they could do any real damage.

It really seemed like there was nothing that they could do against these giant red worms.

Slowly but surely, more and more casualties came about because of the giant red worms.

In total, they had over one hundred and twenty thousand men.

With the casualties that they had suffered earlier and the casualties that they were currently suffering, a fourth of their men had already been incapacitated. At the same time, there were only more and more casualties that were happening.

It seemed at this rate, the Midra Kingdom army would be completely wiped out.

But before the situation could get much worse, there was a sudden change on the battlefield.

The cavalry had arrived.

Led by the general of the Midra Kingdom army, the cavalry were able to use their powerful lances and quick mobility to kite around the giant red worms while damaging them.

With these cavalry knights providing support, it seemed that they were able to carve out a small safe zone that they were able to gather in.

Seeing this, I turned to General Killock and said, "It's time. Prepare the archers and have them rain their arrows down on that group."

General Killock looked at me with a very strange look when he heard this before slowly saying, "Do we really need to do that? They'll be destroyed by the giant red worms at this rate, there's no need for us to go that far, is there?"

I looked at General Killock with a sharp gaze as I said, "Are you showing mercy to the enemies? They're the ones that invaded our kingdom and now you want to show them mercy?"

General Killock couldn't help trembling when he heard this, but he slowly came back to his senses.

He had felt pity for the Midra Kingdom army when he saw the sorry state that they were in. As a soldier, he could imagine what kind of suffering they were going through because of the giant red worms.

So he could sympathize with them and wanted to just let them be destroyed by the giant red worms.

But when he heard Count Zwein's words, he realized that he was being too naive.

Though he pitied them because of the slaughter that was happening, that didn't mean that he should show them mercy.

In the end, the soldiers of the Midra Kingdom army were here to invade their kingdom.

These were enemies that had to be taken care of, so they couldn't show them any mercy.

After all, it was unlikely that they would have shown them any mercy if the situation was reversed.

So he knew what he had to do.

Taking a deep breath, General Killock brought his hand up and slapped himself across the face.

Seeing this, I couldn't help revealing a surprised look.

Then after slapping himself, General Killock said, "I apologize for my unsightly behaviour. I will go organize the archers right now."

I gave a nod of acknowledgement, but I also had to say, "Be careful, don't get too close to them. Also, if you feel like it's dangerous, make sure to retreat. We want to keep our casualties as low as possible since the Blood Worms will do all the work for us."

"Blood Worms?" General Killock couldn't help repeating.

I gave a nod before pointing in front of me at the giant red worms that had popped out of the ground and saying, "That's what those things are called."

General Killock once again looked at me with a strange look when he heard this, but he didn't say anything.

He just bowed to me and then headed off to take care of the archers.

Without knowing it, General Killock had already started changing the tone that he spoke to me with. It was as if the final knot in his heart had been released and he finally accepted that I was the leader.

That was what I had been hoping would happen.

After he left, I just watched the Midra Kingdom army being slaughtered by the Blood Worms.

It was truly a terrifying sight.

Even though they were able to fight back with their cavalry, most of the infantry were still facing the Blood Worms without a way to fight back.

There were limbs and blood that scattered in the air, creating the smell of blood in the air.

It really was a gruesome scene that was hard to watch, but I watched it without even blinking.

That was because I had already accepted all of this.

They had crossed my bottom line, threatening the people that I cared about, so they should expect no mercy from me.

I just silently watched and prayed for the souls of the ones that had been forced into coming here.

That had been forced into this slaughter.
