The battle of wits, or rather, the crazy game between the two sides, is not over yet.
Whether it's a vampire viscount or a sheriff, they both believe they can see through their opponent's schemes and do their best to counter them.
I anticipated your actions, you anticipated my predictions, and I anticipated your predictions...
It feels like they're playing with nested dolls, but despite how excited they are, they're actually both on the first level.
After all, the sheriff was unaware of such a skilled individual, even though the villager wished to remain anonymous.
Humans can eat monsters? They've even developed recipes based on the characteristics of monsters, making them taste delicious?
This is too surreal.
As for the vampire viscount, his gargoyles made no mention of the existence of the monster-slaying machine, El.
There's no way around it, they are genuinely afraid.
The rumors about the Monster Killer have evolved from the initial claim that anyone who leaves the party will be eaten to the claim that simply mentioning its name will bring trouble to your door.
Now, when gargoyles talk about El, that's what they say.
"That guy, the one everyone knows!"
Yes, it's that amazing that some misunderstandings have arisen, and the fun here seems to be escalating.
After bombarding the forest with firepower, the sheriff led his expedition team to a place not far from the vampire castle.
"We've arrived. This is it. Everyone, get ready. This is our final battle."
The sheriff waved for everyone to stop, and then gave a final pre-battle pep talk, along with tactical instructions.
The recruited militiamen no longer need to advance; they should stick together and defend, protecting their cannons and crossbows, and providing fire support if needed.
The rest was left to his personal guards and the adventurers; dealing with vampires required elite forces.
"Okay, let's fight this battle seriously. After we're done, I'll go back to my hometown to get married."
The leader of an adventurer's party, holding a shield and a greatsword, sighed in this way.
"Exactly, exactly, a vampire, that's the perfect way to end my career."
"That's right. Killing vampires will be part of my professional resume, and my net worth will be higher in the future."
The magician and assassin beside him echoed his exclamation.
As the sheriff listened to their remarks, he didn't know why, but he felt a chill run down his spine.
"Hiss... That's strange. The weather is pretty good today, sunny, so why do I feel a chill down my spine?"
It must be an illusion. You're the sheriff, the commander of the team. You can't afford to mess things up at a time like this.
Once the vampires are defeated and peace is restored, you can go home to rest and enjoy your grandchildren.
Every single one of them looked like an old general on a theatrical stage, with flags planted all over his back.
However, since it's been said that the vampire viscount and the sheriff are evenly matched, and while they're frantically setting up flags here, the other side certainly won't be idle either.
After a series of micro-managements, the vampire viscount has completed his defensive setup.
There was only an open space outside the castle, with no suitable terrain to use, so it simply hid its entire army of monsters inside the castle.
"The narrow terrain prevents you from using high-powered magic, and a single passage cannot accommodate too many people."
