The Extra's Harem In Dead End Game

At the end of the day, it's right next to the food source.

Because they live off the food source.

But there's a clear difference from before.

The route was several times longer, but if all went well, we could start the battle by surprising the enemy from behind with a flanking maneuver.

However,

"Ah, that's a bit..."

"Ah, I thought it was something serious, but that's all?"

The residents' doubtful response.

Gwen clicked his tongue.

"That method won't do. You seem to not know much."

"What are you talking about?"

"It's not that there are no markers on the map that it's a neglected place. There are monster scouts laid out everywhere there. How could you possibly not get caught while traveling that long path?"

The three races are in the midst of a fierce conflict.

So, of course, scouts have been laid out on all possible paths.

And they were scouts who move around regularly.

So, it's impossible not to get caught.

But,

"In my view, it's entirely possible."

"Hmph, preposterous. Why do you think that?"

Gwen spoke as if he couldn't back down this time.

He seemed to be ready to come back with a strong counterargument the moment I said something even slightly off.

"First, there isn't just one path."

My hand went back to the map.

It might look like one big road, but inside, it was filled with many small branching paths.

Not just a straight line.

It seemed straight, then wound around, and just when it seemed to wind, it stretched out straight again.

These small paths appeared interconnected yet disjointed, and at some moments, they connected again.

Many of these branching paths led to the monsters' stronghold.

These people might not know, but the underground spaces built by dwarves were often like this.

Because they were a race that loved mazes.

"What does that mean?" Gwen asked.

"You know what it means. It's impossible to lay scouts on all those paths."

The most scarce resource in the underground space was manpower.

In terms of undead or monsters, it was numbers.

Humans barely managed to maintain their numbers with the occasional newcomer.

Undead were created with accumulated dark powers, and monsters reproduced if they had the spare energy.

But all of these events were extremely rare.

Humans, because of the low frequency of occurrence.

Undead and monsters because the energy source essential for creation and reproduction was scarce.

It's impossible to manage on moss alone.

"That's certainly true. But that doesn't justify certainty."

There might be a possibility.

It could be supported, but it didn't necessarily imply a high probability.

"You're quite negative. Then here's the second reason: the monsters aren't paying proper attention to this side. In other words, they're complacent."

I stated confidently.

Everyone knew that humans were in a precarious state having lost their food source.

Everyone also knew that it was overwhelming just to focus on the undead who had snatched away the food source.

Would monsters properly monitor the humans in such a situation?

The answer was no.

"There might be complacency, but..."

I cut off Gwen.

"Doesn't that increase the likelihood? And is there any strategy that's completely risk-free to begin with?"

"No, but to be so confident as to..."

"If the gains outweigh the risks, it's a strategy worth trying for anyone."

I declared firmly.

I had laid all the groundwork to take control for this very moment; there was no way I would back down now.

I knew too well.

That their defenses were in disarray.

A route that's just waiting to be taken.

The problem was that the path itself was difficult, but since I had already done the groundwork, there was no problem.

Just push through, and it would be done.

"If it's not that route, we'll withdraw."

In the end, I even threw down the ultimate ultimatum.

At a time when each individual's strength is important, three who said they would help are missing?

It means that the place that's burning with eagerness has to be on their side.

Moreover, I am not just anyone.

"If that happens, we'll have to think about the supply route again...."

"Let's just go. Captain!"

"That route looks really good!"

"The operation is perfect!"

"Oh, I see it that way too!"

Residents raising their voices in haste.

Faces filled with a desperate will to block at any cost a situation where supplies are flying away.

As the residents took that stance, the atmosphere was completely under my control.

Gwen was panicking.

"Make a decision quickly."

I blurted out.

"Captain, what are you doing! Let's go right now!"

"Let's go slaughter those monster brats!"

Residents shouting vigorously, pressuring.

In the end.

"Let's go. Go! Going will be enough!"

Gwen shouted as if he had given up everything.

That's how the operation was decided.

Gulp.

Gwen and the residents, with bated breath and tense expressions, moved forward.

Kamian and Anette also had tense expressions.

Only I had a calm face.

Because I knew.

I knew that even without my intervention, they could reach the monster's base without getting caught.

"That, it's really sloppy."

When we had passed the halfway point, someone muttered in a very small voice.

They had expressions of disbelief.

They had followed my opinion reluctantly, but they never dreamed it would go this smoothly.

Some residents glanced at me with amazed eyes.

"Shh, don't speak carelessly."

Gwen warned with a stern face.

A timely warning when the subordinates' hearts could become unsettled because things were going too well.

He was indeed a man with the qualities of a leader.

That's how we continued to move forward cautiously.

I waited for the quest window to appear.

Hidden quest window.

It was a hidden quest that would only pop up if you came this way.

After a bit more progress,

Finally, the quest window appeared.

====

[A hidden quest has occurred.]

- Your operation was perfect. You've gained an opportunity to annihilate the monsters on the 10th floor underground with a surprising detour maneuver. It may be an opportunity that will not come again.

Ambush and annihilate Monster Boss Karkar and his subordinates. Humans will survive, and you will receive a special reward.

And maybe this result will lead to better things in the future.

====

'Good.'

There was only one choice.
