From RE0, Sato Kazuma decided to cheat on food and drink

Kazuma Sato replied.

In fact, Aqua and Jus were leading the followers of the witch Axis cult to provide support.

After all, Sato Kazuma and the others are about to face a super monster that has been wreaking havoc in the world for over four hundred years, so it's always better to be safe than sorry.

"We've arrived."

As the dragon carriage came to a stop, Kazuma Sato stepped out and found that the place was already packed with people.

On one side were fully armed and well-trained soldiers, who seemed to be carrying some special magical artifacts, similar to cannons.

The armored Crusaders stood in front of them, delivering their pre-battle declaration.

On the other side were troops with completely different equipment.

Iron Fang, a mercenary group under Anastasia's command.

Anastasia and Julius stood on one side, with a tall, demi-human figure beside them.

He was a burly man with a large knife hanging at his waist, and above his neck was a head that resembled that of a wolf.

Ricardo Wilkin, leader of the Iron Fang.

"Hey buddy, are you the one who planned this operation?"

Ricardo noticed Kazuma Sato's presence, crossed his arms, and spoke in a loud voice with the same accent as Anastasia.

"Wow, a kobold!"

Kazuma Sato looked at Ricardo and couldn't help but gasp in surprise.

This was the first time he had seen a demi-human with such distinct features.

Kazuma Sato had previously met several demi-humans, including Rom, a giant, and Felix, a cat-crossdresser.

However, at first glance, the two of them did not look much different from humans.

Although Lord Rom was extremely tall, he had a face that was not much different from a human's.

Apart from his ears and tail, Felix is ​​no different from an ordinary human.

But Ricardo, standing before them, was completely different from humans.

Rather than calling them demi-humans, it would be more accurate to call them werewolves.

"Hiss, bro, we, we really are kobolds."

Ricardo scratched his head and smiled.

Generally, people can tell at a glance that Ricardo is a werewolf, but he jokingly says that he is actually a kobold.

Now, with Kazuma Sato directly addressing him as a kobold, Ricardo was momentarily speechless.

However, he immediately stepped forward and patted Sato Kazuma on the shoulder:

"We have high hopes for you, young man. To be able to coordinate so many people and devise an operation to deal with the White Whale, we originally thought it was the work of an old guy who often went to the battlefield. We didn't expect you to be so young."

He had no idea that all of this was something Sato Kazuma was actually forced to do.

"Well, in order to protect the safety of the world, of course I have to stand up!"

Ricardo's praise made Kazuma Sato a little smug, and an uncontrollable smile appeared on his face.

Awesome, so awesome!

Is this what it feels like to be a hero by default?

When he first arrived in this world, Kazuma Sato still had the heart of an adventurer.

However, Aqua almost single-handedly destroyed Kazuma Sato's dream of becoming a hero.

"Lord Kazuma."

Julius bowed deeply to Kazuma Sato. In every aspect of his words and actions, he was flawless, thus earning the title of the best knight.

Anastasia stood beside him. Julius had initially been against her participating in the battle, as the fight against the white whale was far too dangerous.

However, Anastasia believed that all the other candidates should participate, and even Priscilla, who was difficult to deal with, had been persuaded by Kazuma Sato, so she was somewhat curious.

Curious about what Kazuma Sato was capable of, she wanted to witness it firsthand.

"Lord Kazuma, where is Lady Aqua?"

Just then, Crusch noticed Kazuma Sato's arrival and politely inquired about it.

"Aqua...she's also gathering people, so she should be here soon..."

Just as Kazuma Sato was answering, he heard shouts coming from afar.

Because of the distance, Kazuma Sato couldn't hear the sound at all.

As a large group of people approached Sato Kazuma and his companions at an alarming speed, the latter finally realized what they were shouting.

Eat when you want, drink when you want!

"If you encounter something you can't solve, just run away!"

"It's the world's fault, not yours!"

"No breast pads allowed!"

These people were chanting cultic sayings from the Aquaan Axis religion.

Kazuma Sato gasped, grimacing as he looked at the group.

These guys seem... even more fanatical than before.

Have they been trained to this state in just twenty-four hours?

Aqua, you bastard.

These followers were actually wearing their clothes inside out, making them look completely different from the usual witch cult.

Even in the eyes of each of them, there was a kind of naive clarity.

Aqua's application to join the cult was simply a tool for brainwashing, wasn't it?

"Phew, I'm so tired!"

At the very front of them all, Aqua wiped the sweat from her brow and addressed Sato Kazuma and the others.

"Lady Aqua, may I ask who these people are?"

Crusch asked curiously, completely surprised that Aqua had so many helpers.

"These people are all my followers!"

Aqua smiled and said to Crusch, then turned to look behind her.

These followers are still raising their arms and chanting the doctrines of the Axis religion.

"I see. I also admire Lady Aqua's personal charm. She has gained so many followers in such a short time."

Crusch said with a smile.

She had heard about Aqua before; it seemed that Aqua had been active in the royal city and had gained quite a few followers.

However, Crusch did not expect that there would be so many people, and that they would all be willing to risk their lives for Aqua.

"Wow, your clothes are so unique!"

Felix looked at the believers' clothing with curiosity; the clothes worn inside out looked rather strange.

"This is because...Aqua's aesthetic sense is different from ordinary people."

Kazuma Sato explained with a smile from the side.

After all, these are things like the witch's cult uniform, and bringing them up could lead to an immediate falling out.

"So, is everyone almost here now?"

As he spoke, Kazuma Sato's gaze swept over the crowd.

Crusch and Anastasia both arrived with ample manpower.

Although Emilia's faction doesn't have enough subordinates, Emilia herself and Rem and Ram are still considered to be very powerful fighters.

As for their own lineup, Aqua's combat power is negligible, but logistics can be guaranteed. The cultists can also serve as combat power, and Elsa and Beatrice can also play a role of insurance.

So......

"Priscilla, where did that guy go? Did he change his mind again?"

Just then, a dragon chariot, its surface a fiery red, slowly drove in.

It was Al and Priscilla.

"Your Highness, we have arrived."

Al stopped the dragon carriage and helped Priscilla slowly get out.

"Making mortals wait isn't without its own kind of fun!"

Priscilla smiled, and she had changed back into the same gorgeous red dress she had worn before.

"Hey, hey, hey, I've been waiting for you for ages!"

Kazuma Sato walked up to Priscilla.

"What about the others?"

"What other people?"

Priscilla held the fan in front of her.

"You mean your other subordinates?"

"Subordinates? Isn't Al here?"

"Wait, you brought Al here?"

Kazuma Sato looked at Priscilla with an incomprehensible gaze.

Are you really just here to make a brief appearance?

When Kazuma Sato went to Priscilla's mansion earlier, he also found that she did not have many subordinates. However, he was thinking that if he participated in this White Whale Extermination Campaign, Priscilla would at least bring some people with her.

Only two people came?

There are even fewer people than Emilia's side!

"The fact that I can participate in this event, which is attended by mortals, is already a great favor to you."

Priscilla walked past Kazuma Sato with an indifferent smile on her face.

Damn it, I knew I shouldn't have called that guy.

But then again, since I did manage to touch his leg, it doesn't seem like I lost out.

Kazuma Sato shook his head, not really paying attention.

"Now that everyone is here, Lord Kazuma, what are your tactical plans?"

Crusch and the others surrounded Kazuma Sato, waiting for his reply.

Sato Kazuma was secretly enjoying the moment.

"The beluga whale is not an easy enemy to deal with. It is huge and can fly in mid-air."

Kazuma Sato drew with his brush.

"This means that at the beginning, we can only use remote means to attack, and we also have to be careful of the beluga whale's ability. It can create fog to obscure our vision and may even cause mental pollution. But most importantly, the beluga whale has another way of attacking with fog. Anyone hit by it will have their existence erased and no one will remember them."

"The ability to erase existence?"

Anastasia frowned.

"Yes."

"Lord Kazuma, may I ask how you knew this?"

Crusch crossed her arms and asked curiously.

The beluga whale is one of the most mysterious creatures in the world. Everyone knows that it has caused countless terrible disasters, but no one has ever seen it with their own eyes.

Because everyone who saw the white whale died.

Even Lugnica's former sword saint was like that.
