I was accidentally injured by God and I just want to be an ordinary person

She immediately reached out to grab the reins, but her unstable posture made it difficult for Ella to do so.

"Tsk, 'Will of the Thick Earth'."

Following Mitis's voice, a thick wall nearly three meters high appeared on the cliff. The horses stopped abruptly upon seeing this. Ella, who had adapted to the movement, grabbed the reins and controlled the horses back to their original positions.

"Ms. Ella, what happened?"

Rushing out of the carriage, Lotte squeezed into the driver's seat - everyone had been staying in the carriage before.

Wiping the sweat from her forehead, Ella breathed a sigh of relief.

"It's nothing, the horse was just frightened. It's been taken care of by Mitis."

"Is that so... I'll be the one controlling the carriage from now on, right?"

"We'll talk about this later. It seems we've run into some trouble ahead."

Ella turned her head to look at Mitis, who had spread her wings and flew forward. The latter had returned to her usual serious look and was shouting to command the soldiers to form a battle formation.

A puzzled expression appeared on Lotte's face, and her lavender twintails swayed as she tilted her head.

"Excuse me... Miss Ella, did you find anything?"

"Hmm, it looks like we encountered a group of monsters..."

On the "Terrain Search" screen, countless points of light were blocking the forest a little further ahead, and there were at least two hundred of them.

Chapter 14 Contact

Located at the junction of the Beirut River and the northern mountains is a V-shaped intersection covered by a large area of ​​forest. It is also a key point for communication between the empire and the dwarves and demons. The fact that a large number of monsters live there is widely known to the people of the empire. Generally speaking, only large chambers of commerce that employ powerful adventurers will choose to use this road.

Mitis, floating in the air, looked at the hundreds of monsters in front of her, and her beautiful eyebrows couldn't help but frowned slightly.

"There are around 200 of them in total. The most difficult ones are the three rock golems... I don't know their exact levels, but the simultaneous appearance of three golems with different attributes must be causing some trouble nearby."

Several possibilities suddenly appeared in her mind, and Mitis chose the one with the greatest probability.

"Because they're close to the Black Dragon Mountains, which are in turmoil due to poachers, they're migrating en masse to avoid being hit by stray bullets... That's outrageous."

The Rock Golem is at least a level 25 monster. Although its growth ceiling is very low, due to its extremely high resistance and regenerative ability, it is an opponent that can easily cause headaches for the conqueror.

"And most importantly, he can't be used as food... I was thinking I could use the monsters I've hunted these past few days to lure him into helping me, but he ended up giving me this gift right away."

Sighing helplessly, Mitis took out her parasol and swung it, making a sharp sound of breaking through the air.

Due to the terrain restrictions, a large number of soldiers were stuck in the narrow mountain road at the back, and only about 2000 troops were able to be deployed to fight in this open space. However, even so, Mitis did not think that her side would lose. As long as the three rock puppets were restrained, even if the individual combat power of the soldiers could not match that of the monsters, the number could form overwhelming violence.

"Everyone, gun formation!"

Like waving a baton, Mitis swung the white parasol down with force. Immediately afterwards, the soldiers who were originally arranged in a square formation spread out to both wings and turned into a long formation. The soldiers holding shields were at the front, and the soldiers at the back thrust their spears from between the shields. It is certain that if the monsters do not slow down in time in front of the spear formation, their forward speed will become the greatest damage that pierces their bodies.

"Strengthening magic!"

Giving the soldiers another order, the magic casters at the front—around a dozen in number—cast group-strengthening magic on the shield-bearing soldiers, increasing their strength. On average, each caster was responsible for about ten soldiers.

After doing all this, Mitis did not wait for the two sides to come into contact. Although the spear formation had considerable advantages when facing cavalry charges, its shortcomings were also obvious. For example, because the formation was too dense and lacked flexibility, it was easy to be attacked from the side by cavalry, or to be shot from a distance by archers. Although the monsters in front of him would not have the wisdom to attack from the side right away, they could still do long-range attacks by instinct.

That's what the three rock golems are doing right now.

The behemoths, about ten meters tall, were like walking disasters, and every step made the earth tremble. When they came to a distance of about seventy meters from the army, they lifted up the huge rocks they brought from the forest and prepared to throw them at the already lined-up army. It was certain that if those rocks, which were at least the size of a house, fell on the army, all those hit would be turned into mud in an instant, and there would be no other choice.

"It's understandable that lava and rock golems are here, but surprisingly, water golems are here too... Could they have met them along the way? Regardless, we need to destroy the rocks first, Gungnir."

The thumb of his left hand slid across the protruding fangs, leaving a series of blood beads in the air. However, because vampires can control their blood to a certain extent, the blood beads did not fall down. Instead, they squirmed as if they had life and condensed into three javelins.

Just as the legend it represents, Gungnir is sure to hit its target once thrown. It is a magic innate ability that only pure-blooded vampires can learn, and it is also one of the few long-range skills in Mitis's hands.

Mitis raised her head and took a quick look at the battlefield. Now, biological monsters, silver wolves, two-headed snakes and ogres were rushing towards the soldiers with countless dust, while the rock puppets fell behind because they were holding stones.

He snorted softly.

"Then let's begin."

Use magic to lock the stones raised by the rock golems - the reason for doing this is that the rock golems have the ability to regenerate, and a single "Gungnir" is not enough to completely destroy them. Even if you lock their hands that are holding up the rocks, they will be able to lift the stones again after a short time, so you can only destroy the stones first, and after the soldiers have dealt with the miscellaneous soldiers, you can deal with the rock golems together.

Like a meteor streaking across the sky, the blood-forged, sure-hit spear flew towards the rock puppet with a crimson tail flame, and at the same time, the soldiers had their first contact with the monster.

Boom boom boom——

——Woo!

Three explosions mixed with the whimpering of monsters. The stones raised by the rock puppets were shattered by Mitis, and the silver wolf rushing in the front was turned into a corpse after colliding with the tip of the soldier's raised gun.

No problems with defense.

Although this was expected, Mitis couldn't help but feel a little excited for a moment.

After the first failure, the monsters that were charging forward slowly stopped and began to probe around, as if they were going to attack from the two weak sides.

"Hmm... We can't relax. It looks like these lower-ranked species are already frightened. Continuing to defend won't do much good. Spread out and fight freely!"

No soldier answered, but their gradually moving footsteps were the best answer.

The free combat that Mitis mentioned certainly did not mean that the soldiers fought on their own, but rather an orderly combat in phalanxes. If anything, it was just that each phalanx was smaller in size, making it more convenient for flexible combat.

Soldiers do not have the diverse abilities of adventurers, so phalanxes are the best choice.

Watching all this, Mitis licked her still bleeding thumb—the wound healed instantly.

"Well, I should go and tie up those three guys—huh?"

With a light exclamation, Mitis looked at the two people who appeared in her sight, Ella and Nanako.

"I shouldn't have let them in... But it looks like Ella wanted to join the fight, and Nanako stopped her... Well, Ella must be eager to try out the close combat techniques she learned this morning, so with Nanako around, it shouldn't be a problem."

She couldn't help but smile. When she was Ella's age, she also liked to do some reckless things, so she could understand Ella's desire to try new skills. Simply blocking her would not be of any use. Only after suffering losses would she understand the gap between herself and the monsters. Therefore, Mitis had no intention of stopping Ella at all.

"Well, after the battle, let's replenish the tribute we didn't have time to drink. Ella smells delicious. It would be great if she could volunteer some of her blood like Nanako did."

After saying some playful words, Mitis shrugged his shoulders, flapped his demon wings, and rushed towards the three rock golems in the distance.

Chapter 15 Support

*创世纪6187年6月20日 上午9:15分 布鲁泽亚帝国北部

"Lord Ella, although I am grateful that you saved my life, I will never agree to your request."

Nanako opened her hands and stood in front of Ella, her face full of anxiety.

The battle started. After Ella explained some things to Lotte, she jumped off the carriage and prepared to go to the front to support Mitis, but was naturally stopped by Nanako, which led to the current scene.

Feeling somewhat helpless, Ella sighed while holding the Silver Pestle - which had no special features other than its silvery-white appearance.

"I won't be in danger. Besides, didn't Mitis say that the army is short of healers?"

"I understand your desire to immediately try out the close combat techniques you learned this morning, but that's too dangerous!"

"So, I had no intention of trying any close combat techniques! I was simply using strengthening and healing magic to help the injured soldiers."

"If we're just using healing magic to help the injured, wouldn't it be okay to wait until the battle is over?"

Nanako's face was full of determination. If Ella was one of the soldiers, even if Ella didn't want to go on the battlefield now, Nanako would carry Ella on her back and throw her onto the battlefield. But now Ella was just a guest of Mitis, whom Nanako admired, so she would not let Ella go on the battlefield no matter what.

Ella took a step to the side, trying to avoid Nanako, but Nanako also took a step to the side, showing no intention of backing down.

Ella couldn't help but sigh again.

The reason why he wanted to go to the battlefield, in addition to the reasons I mentioned earlier which were not really reasons, was also to use magic props to remotely support Mitis. Although Mitis was a level 39 purebred vampire, the opponents were three rock puppets with different attributes, the highest level being level 34. Even for Mitis, it was very difficult to deal with three of them at the same time. Although it was not very urgent, it would definitely be dangerous if he left it alone. For him, if he had the ability to prevent the one he liked - who he just admired - from getting hurt, it would definitely be best to avoid this outcome. He didn't want to see Mitis being hit by the rock puppet at all. A fist of that size would definitely break all the bones once it hit.

What's more, Mitis herself is a beautiful girl. Even if the purpose is to prevent beautiful things from being destroyed, I should quietly lend a helping hand.

If Mitis had detection magic, she wouldn't have rushed over now.

Thoughts are just thoughts after all. Ella raised her head again and looked at Nanako, who was the same height as her.

"Nanako, why don't you come with me? If we leave Mitis alone, she might get into danger, right?"

"How could that be? Master Mitis is a level 39 purebred vampire."

Nanako's face shone with unquestionable confidence.

"But our opponents are three rock golems."

"Even if it's a rock golem, it's only around level 30 at most. And Lady Mitis will definitely not choose a fight to the death. Instead, she'll use her agility to entangle it. Once we've dealt with the regular monsters, we'll deal with the rock golem together."

"That's true...but what if those three rock golems are over level 30?"

"Although the initial level of the rock golem is high, the upper limit cannot exceed level 30, so Master Ella can rest assured. As for your concern for Master Mitis, I will fully convey this to Master Mitis afterwards."

Ella frowned and began racking her brains to think of a way to convince Nanako. She was able to detect the level of the rock golem with the help of the Fire Arrow, and she couldn't reveal the existence of the Fire Arrow, so she had to come up with a reason that would make sense in this situation.

"Magic props... No, if I use the excuse of magic props here, my subsequent support will be questionable—saying that this conclusion was drawn from something I read in a book? If I just say that, I'll be exposed if I'm questioned..."

An anxious groan escaped from his throat.

[It can only be said to be a special case... If it's a special case, then ah, I got it, innate magic!]

A white light flashed through his mind. If he used "innate magic" to explain it, everything would make sense. Even the demons had mutants like Menia. It made no sense that the human race, which was several times more numerous than the demons, would not have such a thing. Moreover, there would be no need to explain it afterwards. Even if someone asked about it, with the existence of "terrain search" and "low-level identification", there would be no contradiction at all.

With a serious expression, Ella leaned close to Nanako's ear while she looked at her with doubt.

"Actually, this is my innate magic."

"Innate magic?"

Seeing that Nanako didn't refuse outright, Ella couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

"Well, Nanako, you should have heard of it, right? It's a kind of magic that you're born with. My innate magic is that I can see other people's levels to a certain extent. For example, the person commanding the team over there is level 15, and those three rock golems are levels 30, 33, and 34 respectively."

Ella pointed to a soldier not far from Nanako. The soldier was one of the squadron leaders, so Ella was sure that Nanako must know his rank.

Looking at the soldier that Ella was pointing at, Nanako's expression suddenly became tense.

“…Indeed, I have heard of the existence of innate magic. Mitis-sama possesses the innate magic ‘Gungnir’, which is difficult for even pure-blooded vampires to possess, but…”

"If Nanako finds my words unconvincing, you can replace them with other soldiers. That captain over there is level 16, the soldier next to him is level 8, and the monster opposite is—"

"Okay, I understand. Although I still have some doubts, I will keep this matter confidential. However, the problem now is that even if we ask Lady Mitis to withdraw, the army will be unable to move for a while. Moreover, the rock golems will also join the monsters, and the entire formation will collapse..."

As expected of Mitis's chosen adjutant, Nanako was able to maintain a calm deliberation even at such a time, though the trembling standard longsword in her hand betrayed her emotions.

Taking a deep breath, Ella tapped the silver pestle lightly on the ground.

"So, we just need to kill those three rock golems. It's a shame, but this isn't the time to hold back."

He took out the javelin he had prepared long ago from his pocket. This was a weapon made in the holy city of the Church of Enstanit. Because it was too powerful, he had made some improvements to it during the journey. The overall power had been reduced to the level of third-order to fourth-order magic.

"This is a magic item my grandfather left me. It's said to be as powerful as fourth-tier magic. If I could unleash its power here, my grandfather would surely be pleased."

Ella began to admire her own ability to lie, and at the same time she gained a new understanding of acting.

Sure enough, a look of hesitation appeared on Nanako's face.

"But...it's Master Gerard."

"Gerald?"

Following Nanako's words, Ella turned around and saw Gerard's old and resolute face appear in her sight.

"Hmm? I remember you from that day... Why are you on the battlefield? What the hell is Mitis doing!?"

Recognizing Ella, Gerard frowned deeply.

Realizing that the situation had reversed, Ella lifted the hem of her skirt, bent her knees slightly, and gave Gerard a noble salute.

"I came here on my own initiative, Master Gerard. Master Mitis cannot be blamed."

"Oh, you came here on your own initiative?"

Gerard's originally gloomy face instantly turned into an old man's smile.

"At such a young age, he's already learning about combat on the battlefield. I'm sure he'll become an outstanding talent in the future."

Ella was stunned by the speed of his expression changing.

Nanako took a step forward.

"Excuse me, Master Gerard, why are you here...?"

Perhaps because Nanako was a dragon, Gerard's expression became unkind and harsh again.
