Ogolaot mobilized all his knights, even moving them from the lands outside the city into the city itself, in an effort to narrow down the Dessert Army's area of activity as much as possible.
"Kill them all! Stop them from coming any further!"
They can't kill them all. What does it mean to kill "everyone"?
Yogur-Thoth's power was unleashed to its fullest, creating multiple dimensional passages and widening them, and then Vein condensed all of the divine power he had accumulated and blew them up, creating a hole that seemed to have opened up a dimensional crack and shoving the living beings inside.
That figure represents roughly 280,000
At this point, they would just drown in a flood of living things.
By the way, the reason why the Dessert Army is so successful in entering the enemy world is because they mass-produced 'flowers that spread pollen that the Dessert Army hates' in the sky garden and instantly spread it throughout the world.
This plant is also evolutionarily significant. Its foul smell keeps it from being attacked by the dessert army.
And naturally, it also serves as a guide for most of the dessert armys crossing over to the other world, where there is refreshing air.
The result was millions of creatures pouring out from the world. The sight of these colorful jellies surging across the fields, transforming them into a sea of paint, was truly spectacular.
"AAAAAHHHHHHHH!!!"
To Ogolaot, it felt like a hellish wave of vomit. He quickly dispatched the Bison Knights and utilized the abilities of legendary creatures like Unjara and Dolgoon to kill every living thing in sight.
While not exactly elite, the swing tactic of riding a buffalo while shooting mystical objects like flame grenades at creatures and moving continuously is possible. With consistent, repeated use, it's possible to disintegrate even a sizable army.
The problem is that as the buffalo approach, the dessert herd runs away to avoid the dreaded scent.
"Uh?!"
The Dessert Army's primary senses are vibration and smell. The charge of the buffalo army, running with the wind at their backs, was all too noticeable.
A magic that causes the army to retreat as soon as they pursue. The problem is that 10,000 cavalry is too few compared to 4,000 kilometers squared of land. If the army disperses, they will simply flee as they are and survive on other grasslands.
Ogolaot felt like he was going crazy.
"Everyone, get ready! We're moving them into the middle of enemy territory!"
The Bison Knights were shocked when they heard the revelation. However, they soon prepared themselves and fought.
They raced with enthusiasm.
And then Ogolaot tore through the terrain and dropped it into the midst of the fleeing Dessert Army. The Bison Knights scattered, each pulverizing and destroying a section of the Dessert Army with their flame grenades.
Afterwards, they will naturally move and rejoin. This is sufficient for an army that only runs away.
As they thought so, the movements of the dessert army suddenly changed.
From running to running.
"Uh?"
Pollen was a rather unpleasant smell to the dessert crowd. It was like the smell of fish to someone who dislikes the smell of fish, or like the smell of rotten eggs.
And the Dessert Army, with the help of consulting from Vein, Seisaisa, and Mihun, has evolved a new sense: the ability to use mystery and identify an opponent whose flow is unstable.
So to speak, a sense of instinctively feeling the cooldown time of using a mystery...!
The first to jump out were, of course, the most aggressive warriors in the dessert army, the candies who could skewer people and bison to death with their torso smashes.
The candies that were in the line immediately charged at the buffalo army as soon as they saw that the flow of magic power had become unstable.
And as the candies fall into the corn, the caramel camel runs in and bites the head off the buffalo's rider, knocking the buffalo over. Then the puddings run in and the breads trample on the leftover scraps.
The other monsters see this and 'judged' it. 'Ah. Those guys have great attack power, but they're weak when they get hit.'
The martial artists mounted the nearby dessert army and charged along with them. In a way, they could be considered a sort of cavalry.
The cavalryman, who was about to fire another firebomb at the nearby martial arts monster, ended up suffering serious internal injuries as he tried to quickly draw out the mystery.
"Ukiyaaaaak!"
And then he got hit in the head and fell down. The fallen cavalryman is eaten alive by the martial arts monsters.
"Ugh…..!"
"Don't be alarmed! It's only natural that a cavalry charge will result in losses!"
The buffaloes were a bit slow. They also had limited stamina. They lacked endurance.
Damn it. The buffalo were no better than the dessert army.
If I had to say, their only advantage was that they were the more friendly and approachable creatures towards humans.
And it was clearly not enough to become friendly with the creatures of the harsh dessert desert.
The martial monsters, hanging on camels, puddings, and bread, would mount the buffaloes as they charged, knocking down the riders and riding the buffaloes themselves.
The buffalo, realizing that the rider had changed, tried to shake them off, but the martial monster's reflexes and sense of balance were excellent even for rodeo.
The buffaloes suffered horrific damage, including having their eyes gouged out and their backs ripped off by the martial monsters that attacked them one after another.
"Unjara! Show them your mettle!"
Dolgoon recited a spell and empowered Unjara with his power. The great buffalo, sensing the unfavorable situation, stomped heavily toward the ground.
"Boooooooooooooo~!"
Unjara's blast of energy, unleashed by the earth, blasted countless members of the dessert armys, either blasting them to pieces or knocking them unconscious. The combined attack of a level 9 and level 7 creature proved formidable.
The problem was that, no matter what, it was impossible to annihilate an army of one million men.
"Ukiyaaaaah! Run away!"
Camels, jellies, and squirrels fled in terror, scattering widely across the world's grasslands.
"Oh, no!"
A real army needs constant supplies, must be united, must build positions, and must attack objectives in order to carry out operations.
But the dessert army is different.
Supply? They replenish it by grazing on the enemy world and hunting opponents. If they can't do that, they will just eat each other.
There's no need to band together. The wild is self-sufficient. They just survive on their own.
Spiritual? The Dark Rims will take care of the spiritual world for you.
Attacking the target? The defender should be the one to break through. If you're entrenched, the monsters will just leisurely crawl around, calling out for Yogur-Thoth.
They don't even know where the scattered creatures are hiding. Without『Divine Unity』, they have to search for enemies entering the world with just the eyes of the gods themselves.
All the given conditions are just terrible. He doesn't know what to do.
"I shouldn't have built a fortress city…!"
Originally, the area was formed by a wide village and pastures, but was compressed to where it was in order to block enemy attacks.
This would improve defense, but why didn't they consider that the enemy wasn't targeting the stronghold in the first place? They were just in the wasteland outside, in pastures, forests, swamps, etc.
Those guys just want to 'survive'.
It would have been different if the terrain hadn't been edited, so that they could fight enemies over a wide area.
Then the area to be beaten would have been wider, but they would not have handed over the entire vast outer area to the Desert Army.
"Ogolaot. What should we do?"
"How…? Ugh..."
Ogolaot has no military experience. He is, after all, only a manager. He can only rely on the military leadership under his command or the military capabilities of his creations.
And now, no one had ever fought something as alien as the Dessert Army. How could one counter such a formidable foe, defying conventional military logic?
"…Let's build a village outside."
"What?"
"Ultimately, we can't stay cooped up inside. We have to go out, seize a few key positions, and engage in a land grab."
"On our land?"
Fortunately, Ogolart possessed a unique ability to manipulate the land. He was able to build villages in truly extraordinary ways, unimaginable to other players.
What this means is that you build a village 'within' the city. You also build fences, stone walls, and various infrastructure within the city.
Then, by placing troops and people inside, you can exchange it for land outside through divine power. This way, you can move the completed village outside without having to go out and build it while being attacked by monsters.
The man who thought he couldn't stop it was speechless when he saw the village built inside and then teleported outside.
"Hey!!! No matter what, isn't 『Creation of Heaven and Earth』 really too much of a scam???"
The only angel who is currently conversing Vein spoke.
"That's the case with all mythical-level traits. You can use dozens of times more divine power than an average person. Even if someone says something like that."
"No, I just have a lot of divine power, and there are no lower-level gods, but that guy has a lot of lower-level gods, so he can edit the terrain however he wants and consumes less divine power. What is that?"
"Then why didn't you just bring in a lower god, Vein? Why did you bring this disaster upon yourself?"
Besides that, the power to manipulate terrain through 『Creation of Heaven and Earth』 was absurd.
The people who climbed up the mountain and built a rough house to live in, but didn't they bury the 'bottom' of the mountain alive by exchanging it for a flat terrain?
To counter the breads and rock jellies that have taken over the mine, they move the mine inside the city and started mining.
What was even more astonishing was that he used a large-scale volcanic explosion magic towards the air. I was wondering what it was doing, but he did all these bizarre things with one trait, such as exchanging the sky that exploded with another sky and shooting lava and volcanic bombs into the air to explode the Sweet Tooth, causing them to fall from the air into the ground.
"Crazy guy."
But Vein couldn't be defeated. Magical monsters continued to flow in, and among them, when more than 100 of the Sugar Lumps specialized in space-time magic gathered, Yogur-Thoth would come.
Yogur-Thoth would occasionally cast spells while glaring at the city from the sky, but he would also appear at the call of the demons and destroy the barely-built garrison and outer fortress in one fell swoop.
"Rotten bastard."
It was a truly brutal slugfest. Even Vein's
However, Ogolaot wasn't at ease.
Beyond the dimensional passageway section, a dimensional crack appeared.
Then Yogur-Thoth will come down and sweep everything away.
It seems like the great buffalo that runs on land, didn't have a good synergy with him Yogur-Thoth. In fact, his abilities were also lacking.
"To win, we need a plan that will reliably defeat the enemy, not just defense… Hmm…We need to create a new creation. Since we have an abundance of
Even though they were prepared for that, there were times when they fought each other leisurely, even though it was a slugfest.
Vein stopped at simply occupying the territory it possessed more thoroughly.
Ogolaot stopped attacking and, with only half of his lands remaining, he devoted his resources to creating a new creation.
And at some point, Vein figured out what Ogolaot was doing.
"It's an opportunity."
Vein finally realized that the enemy had diverted resources to internal affairs.
He had been waiting for this moment. With the power to project outward now insufficient, they were back on the defensive, but the area they needed to defend had expanded significantly.
Vein began to send the second species they had not sent out of the dimensional passage.
"Huh? What is it?"
They are also omnivorous. However, these omnivores have a very unique characteristic.
What this means is that they actually like the pollen that the dessert army hates, and they have a habit of going to areas where the pollen is to hunt or eat grains.
Chemicals produced by living organisms may be perceived differently by some organisms. This is a heresy targeting a niche market for living organisms.
"Uh?"
The tower guards, who had grown lethargic due to the dessert armys that did not even approach them, so they did not react to the 100,000-strong Sweet Tooth army, pouring down onto the field.
Soon, the sentries, the grain, and the civilians alike began to be harvested, being torn apart by the beaks and teeth of the hawks.
It was the true beginning of the apocalypse.
Ogolaot's vision gradually became blurry.
