Even goblins are dangerous in this other world!

He gazed out over the plain, a faint blue light flickering in his eyes:

"Reporting to the commander, the second-order slimes are about 5000 meters away from us, and the 20 third-order slimes that were originally observed... have not yet appeared."

"5000 meters..."

"Ecklaus murmured."

Both second-tier and third-tier slimes move very slowly.

Therefore, their usual siege strategy is to forcefully push through the city.

The best way to stop them is to rely on a group of mages to focus fire from a distance.

However, the group of mages assembled by the existing personnel in Wheel Town might pose some threat to second-tier slimes, but to third-tier slimes, it would be nothing more than a tickle.

not to mention……

Ecklaus's heart sank. According to the information from above, there were two more Tier 4 creatures this time.

damn it.

He clenched his fists tightly for a long time, then slowly relaxed them and sighed.

The script for this scene has already been written; it's not something a minor supporting character like myself can rewrite.

All I could do was obediently cooperate and act.

"Ecklaus, is there any news from Bandanda? Why aren't you answering me?"

The woman in black robes spoke again, seemingly somewhat displeased with Ecklaus's neglect.

"12 hours."

Having made up his mind to cooperate in the act, Ecklaus replied:

"We only need to hold out for 12 hours, and reinforcements will arrive."

Ecklaus never told the woman in black robes beside him that this was a vassal state.

He knew his colleague well, if she knew that this was actually a vassal state.

They'll probably choose to strike outright, and won't even finish the first day's performance.

"12 hours? That shouldn't be a problem."

The woman in the black robe nodded.

The slimes' first day of siege was basically carried out by second-tier and first-tier slimes as the vanguard.

With me, a third-tier sorcerer, and Ecklaus, a third-tier tactical master, we should be able to hold out.

Ecklaus looked at the spirited and energetic knights before him with a complicated expression.

He took a deep breath and finally spoke:

"Healing team, step forward!"

"exist!!!"

A group of priests dressed in white robes stepped forward.

"Retreat to the very end."

"Yes!"

"Vanguard squad, step forward!"

"exist!!!"

This time it was a group of paladins and berserkers clad in heavy armor.

"Hold the line at the very front."

"Yes!"

……

The treatment proceeded in this manner, with the vanguard, scout, and ranged teams arranged in formation.

Ecklaus began:

"This time, I will use [Tactical Rotation] to defend the city. After the siege begins, all squads will rotate in sequence from Tier 1 to Tier 2 and back to Tier 1."

"Tactical rotation?"

The woman in the black robe was somewhat puzzled.

Ecklaus's tactical rotation can significantly increase the stamina recovery speed and morale of friendly forces during rotations.

However, this tactic is clearly more suitable for protracted warfare; a defensive strategy should be adopted against slime sieges.

What she doesn't know is,

If a defensive tactic is adopted, the first to fall will inevitably be the high-ranking soldiers at the front.

Since some people were destined to be sacrificed, Ecklaus ultimately chose to sacrifice the lower-ranking soldiers.

"Dave, Chloe, Aurelia..."

Ecklaus named several people:

"You all move to the back of the line, the rest of you stay put and wait."

……

Among the several wooden houses adjacent to the Knights' camp at the east gate of the town,

This place used to be the residence of the town's residents, but it has now been transformed and decorated beautifully.

The floor was covered with a thick, red leather carpet, which was soft and luxurious.

Each piece of furniture was wrapped in exquisite red silk, giving it a magnificent appearance.

The doors and windows are decorated with intricately woven locust flower wreaths, emitting a delicate floral fragrance, while a dazzling crystal chandelier hangs from the ceiling, reflecting a shimmering light.

Each wooden house was packed with twenty or thirty richly dressed noblemen and women.

They were either young noblemen and ladies, or mature noblemen and ladies.

These nobles gathered in small groups, chatting and laughing on the soft sofas in front of the fireplace, or enjoying the delicious food and wine at long tables laden with delicacies.

They were enjoying their last social interaction before the arrival of this local ceremony.

Beside a window stood a brown-haired man wearing a tight-fitting uniform with a gold ribbon around his neck.

Unlike the other nobles, he did not have a joyful expression on his face; instead, he looked very uneasy.

The reason was simple: his servant Hill had disappeared.

He feels very insecure right now.

"Your Excellency Frey, the ceremony hasn't even started yet. Aren't you bored standing by the window all by yourself?"

A muscular man with a viscount's badge on his chest walked toward Frey carrying a glass of champagne.

"Viscount Rohr?"

Frey turned around; his father had mentioned this viscount to him.

This was a viscount who greatly admired gentlemanly manners and was highly regarded by his father.

He slowly said:

“I haven’t seen Hill in a long time. I don’t know where she went. She didn’t come back all night.”

Viscount Rohr smiled.

He gestured to the waiter beside him to hand Frey a glass of champagne:

"Your Excellency Frey need not worry too much. This town is perfectly safe for your servant. Her strength is evident to all, and no one in this town can threaten her."

"They've probably never been to a small town like this before, so they want to wander around. You know, they've been restricted for too long."

“My servant was also called out earlier by a friend he knows, and he hasn’t returned yet.”

"I think you should calm down and have a drink, so as not to spoil your mood for the ceremony later."

Frey was somewhat relieved to hear that Viscount Rohr's servants had also been summoned.

He took a sip of champagne and looked out the window.

Yes, what in this small town could threaten Hill?

I'm being too sensitive.

At this moment, in a small alley in CheLun Town.

A man dressed in white-gold armor, wielding a sword and shield, looked breathlessly at the tall figure opposite him.

He was a third-tier warrior, but at this moment he was covered in blood and wounds.

"Tassanya, are you insane?!"

The man shouted incredulously.

He never expected that Tassanya would choose to attack him after calling him to leave.

He remembered that he had only crossed paths with Tassanya a few times and had never had any grudge against her.

This woman must be insane.

The man aimed at the alleyway exit behind him, preparing to use a charge skill to escape.

But the next moment, in his despairing gaze, a giant silver bear, as large as a small mountain, appeared at the entrance of the alley.

"Set off!!"

Setting down his pocket watch, Ecklaus addressed the soldiers.

The neatly arranged knights began to slowly move towards the slime according to the established formation.

The spellcasting range of the knights' mages is less than 100 meters, so if they want to deal effective damage to the slime, they have to get close in advance.

When the knights reached a certain position, the captain of the scout squad spoke up:
