* * *

It’s definitely different from my past life.

The southern region that was devastated by rampaging monsters in the past is intact, Nashas who died of old age is still alive, and Carmen who died fighting monsters is still fighting.

The battle was incomparably easier than in my past life.

“We can do it! We’ll kill all the monsters with our own power!”

“Remember the pain of the imperial citizens and families who were ravaged by monsters all this time!”

“This is the final battle against the monsters!”

People shouted from all around, gritting their teeth as they fought the monsters.

The hope that monsters would never appear again if they won this war ignited people’s hearts.

This is why hope is scary.

In my opinion, nothing drives people crazy like hope does.

Bang!

“Want to get holes all over your body again? Aren’t you going to snap out of it?”

Just then, a massive axe cleaved in half the monster that had been charging at me.

Jin glared at me with fierce eyes.

“Jin. No matter how I think about it, that weapon really suits you perfectly.”

My mace has quite a presence too, but compared to the axe Jin was holding, it was at a cute level.

It was the size of a human head with chains attached to the end. It was natural that people around were horrified and avoiding her.

Of course, the reaction of the Eternal God priestesses who had desperately longed for a Holy Maiden was different.

‘An axe! Truly a weapon befitting the Eternal God!’

‘As expected of the Holy Maiden! Praise the Holy Maiden!’

Even the priests of the Sun God and Sea God have to yield before the Eternal God priests.

“Ah, this? The Eternal God told me to choose whatever weapon I wanted. There were only boring weapons like swords, spears, and whips, so I beat him up a few times and he finally gave me something useful. Should have given it sooner.”

Jin clicked her tongue and swung the axe around before cleanly cutting off the neck of another charging monster.

The black divine power flowing from the axe stabbed into the monster’s body, rapidly purifying it.

If the Sun God’s divine power purifies by burning with light, the Eternal God’s divine power completely returns things to nothingness as if they never existed in the world to begin with.

No matter how I look at it, the Eternal God’s ability is the most terrifying.

Kwaaaaaa!

“Ah.”

Just then, a sound like massive waves crashing could be heard.

When I turned my head, I saw Carmen wrapped in blue water streams all over her body, holding a sword and slaughtering monsters.

Later, apparently finding it bothersome, she trapped the monsters in water prisons and crushed them with water pressure.

At that terrifying sight, knights and mages were busy running away rather than helping Carmen whenever she came near.

“Like a crazy person who found water.”

Jin, who watched the scene with me, clicked her tongue.

“Such pretty words.”

“I’m going, don’t get hurt.”

Right after scolding me, Jin grabbed her axe and ran off somewhere else.

Thanks to there being no buildings or civilians, all sorts of powerful people were rampaging comfortably.

This is why we deliberately made the desert our battlefield.

“All monsters have been eliminated! No remaining enemies!”

How long had it been since the battle started?

Mages who confirmed there were no reactions felt around shouted.

“Quickly tend to the injured! We don’t know when they might attack again, so clean up fast!”

Count Kali, who had the most experience fighting monsters, shouted.

Following the southern knights who moved swiftly, other people also moved.

Nothing was more important in war than the words of the experienced.

“Ordel?”

While cleaning up the battlefield, I gazed at the horizon.

Rute approached me.

“What’s wrong? Is something else coming?”

“No.”

“Then why?”

“I’m just being vigilant.”

Since all the Empire’s strong fighters were alive, it was natural that the first battle ended easily.

In fact, there were no deaths in this battle.

We got an Eternal God Holy Maiden, and Rute, who was like a nightmare in my past life, became an ally instead of an enemy this time, so victory was natural.

However.

“The insidious and vile ‘Evil’ is absolutely not someone who will just take a beating.”

The vision of my past life that the Three Patron Deities showed me.

When Idella was tainted by ‘Evil’ and brought down the Imperial Capital, the monsters that appeared throughout the Empire were terrifyingly strong and far more numerous.

But the monsters that appeared now were drops in the bucket compared to that. No, they were far inferior.

“Even if the battle is easier than expected, never let your guard down. He’s the type to commit all sorts of vile acts.”

No one knows what tricks he’ll use next.

“I’ll tell everyone.”

Rute obediently nodded at my words.

And my prediction soon proved exactly right.

Pop!

“Attack! Monsters have appeared!”

Just as we finished cleaning up and were about to close our eyes to relieve the fatigue of battle.

A yellow signal flare burst in the sky.

People sharpened their drowsy minds with magic and took up their weapons again.

Since there were no deaths in the first battle, fortunately we easily claimed victory in the second battle too, but more people were injured instead.

“Attack! Attack!”

And when we faced the third attack without even being able to sleep again.

Morale began to break little by little.

No matter how much better stamina knights and mages have compared to ordinary people, humans are still human.

Anxiety began to sprout that they might have to continue fighting like this without sleep and without being able to relax their tension.

After deaths occurred in the third battle, the anxiety grew even more.

After fighting five battles in just one day.

A leadership meeting consisting of the 4 Dukes, Holy Maiden, and Holy Sage was held.

“Monsters have no intelligence. Naturally, they don’t feel fatigue or have anxiety or negative emotions.”

Unlike humans.

I clicked my tongue and spoke.

“Even if they serve as meat shields, they won’t feel any resentment. They just carry out the commands they’re given.”

“It’s hard for us to keep fighting for days too. How about splitting our forces in half and taking turns in battle?”

Duke Aster shook his head at Duke Aria’s words.

“The number of monsters is gradually increasing as battles continue. If we split our forces, it will only increase the number of deaths on our side.”

“When will additional troops arrive?”

“In two days. But the number of troops that can come by train is limited, so we can’t expect meaningful support right away.”

Duke Aria sighed at Duke Aster’s words about rear support.

“Is there no other way?”

“How about we attack them instead?”

Jin, who had been quiet, spoke bluntly.

Everyone’s gaze turned to her.

“There’s no reason for us to keep being desperate about defense here.”

“Let’s quickly strike their stronghold before our stamina depletes further?”

“Right.”

That’s a decent plan?

“If I move together with you, the monsters won’t attack the rear. They’ll only focus on the army, so it seems like a perfectly good method.”

“And as soon as the additional troops arrive, we’ll rotate immediately.”

I nodded at Rute’s words.

“Everyone won’t be able to sleep for the next two days, but we have priestesses to boost morale and potions, so we should be able to hold out to some extent. And this.”

I pulled out a bottle from my chest.

Everyone looked puzzled at the green liquid filling the bottle.

“It doesn’t seem like a potion. What is that?”

“A fatigue recovery drink that one of our priestesses made for me to drink. This stuff is really effective.”

It was a fatigue recovery drink made for me by Lana, who was none other than the head of the Potion Team.

When she heard that monsters would be targeting me, Lana cried and gave me all the fatigue recovery drinks she had made so far.

Telling me to kill all the monsters with a healthy mind.

She had really toughened up while I wasn’t looking.

“With this, we should be able to easily endure two nights.”

“Give it here.”

Jin immediately opened the cap and gulped down the fatigue recovery drink.

She made a surprised expression.

“It tastes good?”

“Right? That stuff works better than Bac*us or O*inomal.”

“That good?”

Jin, who knew the value of fatigue recovery drinks just as well as I did, burst out in admiration.

Indeed, as soon as she drank it, her complexion began to visibly improve.

“…Do you happen to have more?”

“I’d like to try some too.”

Seeing that dramatic change in expression, everyone began reaching out to me.

I happily distributed the fatigue recovery drinks one by one.

Haha. Once everyone tastes this, they’ll never forget it.

Later they’ll beg me to please sell it to them.

After the war ends, I’ll have to discuss commercializing it with Lana.

“Well then, by unanimous decision, we’ll head out to battle. Let’s go beat up all those monsters.”

We clinked our fatigue recovery drink bottles together like a toast.

Just wait, you bastard. We’re coming.

* * *

The effect of the fatigue recovery drink was incredible!

“Hahahaha! I’ll kill the monsters!”

“I’ll kill them all!”

“Hahahaha!”

The soldiers who had initially panicked at the talk of attacking the monsters’ stronghold had their eyes completely change the moment they tasted the fatigue recovery drink.

With a vitality different from when they drank potions, everyone began laughing excitedly and beating up monsters.

There wasn’t a trace of fear to be found on the faces of the people advancing through the desert.

When the additional troops arrived two days later and it was time to rotate, they were even disappointed, saying they could fight more.

A pleased smile naturally appeared on my face at their truly frenzied momentum.
