Chapter 96: Resolved The kinds of monsters marching to Wedgefort varied from the relatively fast-footed monsters like wolf-types, kobolds, goblins, to slow-footed monsters like orcs, ogres, tri-headed viper, and bush lizards.
Even though an ogre approached the carriage Tsubaki was pulling to attack it, Kaede"s invisible tough threads had severed the ogre"s supposedly tough skin from its bone.
The members of the Crimson Rose were also being attacked by monsters like orcs and goblins, but with the support of the Lion"s Fang, they safely and steadily defeated them
Together with t.i.tan, we did a lap around Wedgefort to clear monsters. Then we went close to the southwest section where the density of monsters was high.
Two hours have already pa.s.sed since the fight started and the number of monsters had clearly decreased.
The arrows and magic from the walls still continued to attack monsters.

The sword flashed and heads of monsters would fly and their bodies would collapse.
At that time, with warcries, the adventurers from Volton joined the fray.
Now that this has happened, the state of the war instantly tipped to one side, and monsters were even running away. At that point, the drawbridge of Wedgefort lowered and the stationed soldiers made their debut.
With it switching to a battle of annihilation, I chose the big game and strong individuals. Because large monsters are a hindrance, I immediately store them into the Item Box.
After that, the first battalion of the Knight Order in Margrave Volton"s territory arrived, and our complete victory had been determined.
The adventurers and knights finished off the dying monsters and were starting the cleanup.
As Tsubaki was running over the dead corpses, she found me and approached. From Tsubaki"s back, Kaede leaped towards me.
「Master! Kaede defeated many monsters! So I think maybe I"m gonna evolve!」
「Ooh, isn"t that amazing, Kaede? I"ll transfer you to the Subs.p.a.ce immediately, so it"s okay to rest and take your time evolving inside.」
I opened the Subs.p.a.ce and the sleepy Kaede entered.
「Master, I"m glad you"re safe.」
Marnie came out of the carriage and handed me a water bottle.
「Thank you, Marnie.
Are you well too?」
「Yes, because Tsubaki-chan and Kaede-chan were here.」
「「Tak.u.m,i-samaaa!」」
Sophia and Maria returned.
「Are the two of you uninjured?」
Silence, and then the two hugged me.
「Yes, we had gotten a few sc.r.a.pes.」
「I"m also alright.」
When I looked around, fights had become sporadic. Before long, cries of victory were raised.
「Good work.」
Heath-san and the others called out to us. Judging from their appearances, they had no large injuries.
「Likewise. Are you hurt?」
「Nah, Crimson Rose had a healer so I"m alright.」
「Purification!」
I casted purifying magic, cleaning everyone off.
「Thanks. How amazing, you and your party. And you even a pretty strong golem.」
The leader of the all-girl party 『Crimson Rose』, Merildsan, got closer.
「Hey! Let"s rest at the town! It"s probably alright to leave the cleanup to the late knights and adventurers. We"ve already worked enough.」
Lyle-san dragged his feet into the carriage. Everyone else followed.
The sky began turning red and the smell of blood hung in the air. The cleanup probably wouldn"t end in 1 or 2 days, but we"ve definitely worked more than enough. For the time being, so we could rest at Wedgefort, our carriage began running towards the lowered drawbridge.
