Yogur-Thoth's current level is 10. It's also at the maximum level of its upgradeable abilities. I deliberately concentrated resources on Yogur-Thoth to help him upgrade in this fight.
The combined help of Seisaisa and Mihun was a great help.
In Creamland, where Yogur-Thoth resides, Seisaisa built a palace for Yogur-Thoth, and Mihun taught him some superior techniques, that is, mystical magic that he learned and used, and Yogur-Thoth, who had been confined to studying magic, gained experience points.
Yogur-Thoth greedily absorbed the knowledge spread by the gods of the other world, gradually growing stronger, and thus, a crazy giant monster was born with a total score of 1,334,434 points.
Of course, the world's
With a single display of his magic, an entire city was uprooted as if struck by a typhoon. The massive spiritual realm that Ogolaot had established with the advice of his colleagues was also distorted.
It would be even stranger if the public sentiment of the world's people were not shattered.
"Did you hear the news? The southern city was destroyed!"
"They say there were no survivors at all?"
"Oh my goodness. Is there such a monster in the enemy world? What should we do if something like that comes out?"
Ogolaot had to appease the residents. He left that to the great shaman Dolgoon, a legendary figure in charge of
Dolgoon was a legendary figure, possessing above-average combat prowess. As the spiritual leader of this nomadic tribe, he cautiously offered advice to the god.
"God, the residents won't be easily reassured unless the fundamental problem is resolved. What is the current situation? How much should we inform the residents?"
Ogolaot held a meeting with the other gods and sorted out the situation.
First, the advance party that crossed over to the other world could only hope to survive until the dimensional passage stage two years later.
Three thousand men crossed over. The soldiers sent during the dimensional gate stage are essentially sent there to fight as long as they can and die, or they are sent there with the certainty that they will return victorious.
And in this case, it was the latter. Ogolaot believed their vanguard would survive, subdue the ecosystem, establish a stronghold, and take everything down.
But, no. A powerful vanguard could have destroyed the entire ecosystem there, but there was a crazy creature that could restore it all in a single day.
It was impossible to starve three thousand elite soldiers to death, so they had to hold out by opening dimensional gates and continuously sending supplies in, but the morale and stamina of the advance party were at rock bottom because of the crazy monsters making it so they couldn't even set up anything resembling a base and just turned everything they did into bubbles in a day.
Of course, that doesn't mean they can't establish a foothold in the world of the other side.
Are they going to live in the jungle with animals?
It might be better to pretend that we have abandoned our troops and then invade inward and sweep them away.
The other problem is that this terrain isn't just the plains of the Ogolaot world, but filled with jungles, deserts, mountains, and swamps. It's very difficult to use their proud cavalry.
Even in the inner terrain beyond where they were staying, there was no way to open a dimensional gate. This meant that supplies were also cut off.
Honestly, at this point, he'd rather just kill all the enemy troops who crossed over. Then the troops they sent would also fight fiercely and die, and then they would just be give up cleanly.
However, the people were just pointlessly building camps, draining their morale and stamina without giving up any of their core strength.
And the elite knights of Haina and the two thousand engineers sent as a follow-up were holding on by cooking the sandy jelly and iron-flavored bread, and if they were abandoned, the morale of the home country would explode.
Second, the soldiers currently conscripted are quite effective in dealing with the evil spirits.
This is somewhat hopeful. The enemies, even the monsters, don't seem to be inexhaustible. No, in a way, they seem to consider even hero-level creatures expendable.
Although they succeeded in inflicting a great shock, they were able to kill over ten heroic individuals, perhaps because they lacked the concept of keeping them alive and steadily growing. Six individuals also died in the world of Ogolaot.
In any case, in the process, even the unskilled conscripts were gradually transformed into excellent soldiers.
[Perhaps there is a force that surpasses the number dispatched just now.]
"That's true, but hide it. We need to reassure the civilians."
Third, they discovered the cause of the city's destruction. He wondered how such a powerful monster could overcome the dimensional pressure and open a dimensional gate to enter, but there was a solution.
"Ogolaot-nim. It's the fault of those monkeys over there."
"What are you talking about?"
[These use
"Crazy. So now I have to catch all those things too?"
Fourth, food production seemed to be gradually decreasing, and at some point, weeds took over the pastures and fields.
They had been propagating with seemingly harmless weeds and seeds stuck to the monkey's fur, but now only trash-like weeds, or rather poisonous plants that buffaloes can't eat, have been left, and this year's crops have been completely ruined.
"This is really a big deal. We have a lot of food stored up, but..."
[Yes. Even so, if there are this many weeds, it won't last until next year.]
So, Ogolaot decided to sort things out in a very simple way.
"Okay. There's nothing we can do. Now that it's harvest time, harvest all the crops."
[Yes. I will serve the headquarters.]
After the harvest was over and the divine power was concentrated, the vast pastures and farmlands in the world of Ogolaot, the vast land that had been expanded to twice its normal size through the creation of heaven and earth, began to shrink.
If it can be doubled in size, it's only natural that it can be reduced to half of its original size. Ogolaot simply compressed the terrain to a quarter, then uses oxen, plows, and fire magic to remove difficult-to-remove weeds in just two weeks' labor.
It was easily overturned.
And by sowing seeds densely on the shrunken land and quadrupling the land area, a vast field and pasture without any weeds were created. The amount of sacred power consumed was not particularly large.
"Huh, huh?!"
Vein, who had confirmed the situation with the savages who had crossed over to the other world, was shocked and almost fainted. He knew the『Creation of Heaven and Earth』trait was beneficial, but he had never imagined such an application.
As expected, the application skills of the top players are amazing, and rather than restoring all the land area, Ogolaotet reduced the size of the useless land, and even if it was reduced, he placed it in an appropriate location to make it easier for each city's defense and organic connection, and then separated the area where the dimensional gate opens from the farmland to reduce the area where the dessert army can operate and make the pest control work easier.
The man who was looking around this world stuck out his tongue.
"As expected, he is the leader of the alliance. We'll have to wait two years for the real showdown, when the dimensional passage opens."
However, Vein did not give up yet. It was thanks to the military strategy taught by Wahwando.
"Let's say your onslaught is blocked at the dimensional gate stage. What would you do then?"
"That's right. From now on, even if we send troops, they'll be easily defeated by the enemy world's power, so we'll reduce the number of troops we send and stockpile resources, right?"
"That's right. The problem is that then the enemy will also regroup. And your main plan only works through sustained pressure. In that case, the attack has been blocked, but the dimensional passage hasn't yet opened. During this ambiguous stage, you need a way to significantly pressure the enemy world."
"Then what should I do?"
"Everyone else does this, but you have to do something you usually don't. Build a garrison on an enemy world. Once you have a stronghold, you can deploy various strategies."
While monsters like Bisyakheet and wild beasts like Pudding and Candy were rampaging through enemy cities and villages, a part of the grassland where buffalo had already lived was now occupied by Dark Rim and Caramel Camels.
The buffaloes here are the core of the cavalry force and are powerful creatures endowed with the
"Shouldn't we kick them out?"
"How can we do that? Fire magic doesn't work unless it's fired by superhumans, and once they start running, they're faster than a buffalo, even a spear or sword can't penetrate their skin."
"Is that why you leave it alone?"
"Look. There's a bad guy inside. When are we going to deal with them? We need to drive them out first, and then we can catch them."
Dark Rim is a descendant of Shuk-Rimuras. They can crudely mimic Shuk-Rimuras's power. They build Cream Land and absorb the surrounding magic and nutrients to create a resource called {Cream}.
And in this land covered with cream, Creamland, the dessert army thrives on its own, sucking up the terrain level.
Another additional effect is that areas covered with this artificial spirit world are treated as 'occupied' areas, meaning that the divine power of the other world does not work on them.
"Terrain manipulation isn't working.... Damn it."
Ultimately, the evil species began to grow steadily, relying on the lands they had failed to reduce. Ogolaot hadn't even built anything resembling a campsite on the opposing world, yet the enemy world was already encroaching on its ecosystem.
Of course, Ogolaot is also in a bad mood during this stagnant period.
"Muster the troops. We will destroy the terrain occupied by the enemy."
Of course, they are just living on the plains and have not built a fortress.
More than half should be left at the main camp in case they are bait, but even so, 3,500 buffalo cavalrymen would probably be enough to trample the dessert army occupying the grasslands.
"Send all legendary entities as well."
The second legendary entity in this world is not a human.
The great buffalo, 'Unjara'. A symbol of the buffalo, a livestock, friend, and comrade in this world. This legendary individual was created in the event that provided an unidentified unique creation in the early days of the game and was carefully raised.
Its ability reaches a whopping level 9, and as befitting a great buffalo, it greatly increases the abilities of all surrounding buffaloes, possessing the power to transfer its bravery and strength to its riders, as well as the mystical ability to overwhelm surrounding enemies with its immense spirit and explode shockwaves to exert actual physical power.
The rider, of course, is the great shaman Dolgoon. In fact, he's not even a rider. He simply follows the path of the buffalo, casting mysteries as he pleases.
Unjara is in fact the representative of God to these horned dwarf races, and is the strongest creation in this world that has been with them since the barbarian times when they first milked buffalos, made clothes from their fur and hide, and made weapons from their horns.
Even so, their abilities are not so weak that they can't defeat the evil creatures that have only crossed the dimensional gate stage. Just in case, they have thoroughly maintained a defensive force within the city.
So, the moment when the great buffalo Unjara charged, followed by the cavalry, in this fight that was closer to a quarantine operation than a battle.
Tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk!
As if waiting for that moment, the dimension where the dessert army was was torn apart.
Of course, Ogolaot wasn't surprised at all. He had expected that much.
Perhaps, if the entire army charged, the unknown bubble demon would pour out magic, or maybe that terrible monster would come across and clash with them.
And they weren't an army that could withstand such a force. Naturally, they were prepared to fend off any mystical or physical attack. They weren't fooled by such obvious tricks, nor were they unprepared for them.
Rather, he will borrow the power of Dolgoon and Unjara, and use the
While he was thinking about that at the time.
Pong!
The wind rose.
A refreshing breeze and warm air that feels beautiful for a moment.
A huge amount of pollen and dust, so much so that it was blinding, flowed from the enemy world to this world and enveloped the 3,500-man army.
"Woo! Woo! Woo!"
And as soon as the pollen spread, the creatures of the Dessert Army returned inside through the opened dimensional gate.
It seems that the rule of one-way traffic was temporarily broken through the mystery of
Ogolaot became anxious at the action that seemed to have been done with a poisonous fog.
"Wait a minute. Check the entire army. What happened?"
The army looks back at itself in a hurry.
"There is nothing wrong with my body."
"There is nothing wrong with my senses or my mind."
"There's nothing strange about the buffaloes either."
"There's nothing strange about the mystery. The flow is fine."
"???"
Then doesn't that mean nothing happened? He looked at Dolgoon, the mystery expert.
"What do you think this is?"
[I have no idea. It's just harmless pollen and nothing more.]
"No, they wouldn't have thrown it away without meaning to. Even if they had used attack magic, it would have been better than this."
[Even if you say that, I still don't know what you don't know. It was just some really smelly pollen. That was it. It was just sprayed on 'all 3,500 soldiers'.]
It was as if they had set up a camp and dug a trap to call in the army just for that purpose.
They later found out that this pollen smell literally would not go away no matter what they did.
A smell that does not go away even if you wash your body, soak your body in oil, burn your body with fire, or apply other perfumes.
Two years after the lull, even before the dimensional passage phase, the smell remained distinct. Now, it was so commonplace that no one paid attention to it.
Ogolaot felt a surge of anxiety.
