(Tshhh... The problem is that the horde of zombies began to separate, tshhh... it seems that the leader who leads them understood that gathering a large number in one place would only make things easier for us, tshhh... now the zombies began to walk individually to our camp)
Shit! In truth that was the worst thing that could happen... Now with this, it is not much use to concentrate the weapons in a single point...
"...Vrana-chan, fly and tell me how long is the number of zombies that comes here"
"I understand Master, roock ~"
With my instruction, Vrana-chan spreads her wings and immediately soars through the skies while the people next to me who heard Yoshioka's message have a serious face. Not long after she comes back, stands beside me, and then tells me what I asked for.
"They are still many, master, roock ~ But... They are not many as before ... the enemies are everywhere now!... Vrana does not know whether to count them as many or individually! What must Vrana doing, master, roock ~?!? "
"... I-I see, don't worry about it Vrana-chan"
For a moment I thought Yoshioka was wrong... I was so focused on what to do now that I forgot that she only knew how to count to 10... well since she looks cute making a worried face and flapping her wings for not knowing how to count the zombies, let's leave it that way.
"We will fight as we go back to the camp! ... things have changed and now we will defend the camp from within it!"
It didn't help that the soldiers and most of the weapons were here now, and it wouldn't help much if we split up all over the area killing zombies. Then after considering all of this I decided that it was best to protect the camp from within and so I give orders to do just that.

Almost at the same time that I give the orders, the system announces the completion of another of the first three missions that I got when Kurisu and I arrived in this world. This does not surprise me much since the counter of this before this horde of zombies attacked the camp was not far from 800 thousand, so with the number of enemies that were coming here I had already expected to complete this mission on the day of today.
So I don't pay too much attention to this notification and instead focus on repeating my previous words a few more times to make sure that as many people as possible be able to listen.
So following my words the cars and all the people start to slowly back down as we continue eliminating the zombies in front of us. As Yoshioka had said, most of the zombies dispersed now and therefore suddenly the zombies stopped coming in large numbers from the front.
Noticing this we stopped caring about them and quickened our pace towards the camp, so when we got to the camp, I quickly give orders to scatter all the soldiers and hunters who had been waiting here holding their crossbows, all around it in small groups of 10 men.
As for the vehicles, they are also dispersed and placed covering some areas of the camp in support of the people who would fight.
We didn't have to wait long to start seeing the zombies walking slowly towards the camp again, but only this time they came from all around the perimeter of it.
Watching them get closer and closer, even the residents here were preparing to fight them. But in the end, they were asked to back off since for now we would focus on fighting with long-range weapons for two reasons.
The first was that if so many people fought it could cause chaos. Residents may be motivated to fight, but there is also a big problem if they do so since the zombie virus is still effective on them and if it begins to spread throughout the camp then that would only make the situation worse.
I had only administered in the soldiers the immunity antidotes after all. Also, even though we have a stock of the others that work for a while of time, maintaining a constant use in more than 30 thousand people would end this quickly.
The second reason was that, since we have a shield or energy in this camp, then it was time to put this in use. I had already made the preparations previously and that is why I had placed 400 thousand crystals in this one so that it even resisted an attack by a large group of monsters in the 4th limit.
Because of this, I was confident that it would hold out for a long time and so soldiers and hunters could eliminate zombies within the safety of the protective shield. This was specially designed for that, it did not allow access to anything when it was fully activated but did let things go through.
So the zombies would be stopped and the bullets and arrows could reach them without problems, really it was very practical. Unfortunately since there are still many enemies, surely the consumption of this will not be small... damn! It's 400 thousand crystals, you know?!
Until now we have probably killed some 250,000 zombies of the horde in total, with the attack of the vehicles we killed another 100,000 approximately. Although the ones in my group and the soldiers killed more of them, that was because we were only able to use the most powerful weapons for a short time compared to when we fought.
But there is still half the zombie horde, another 250,000 enemies to defeat... Well, maybe I should subtract another 50,000 or so from that number…
Thanks to the ditches that the residents dug, the soldiers did not have to deal with the first zombies as they fell foolishly into the holes.
Lamentably, these had a bottom and so eventually they were filled with the bodies of the zombies, therefore it was the turn of the people waiting behind the shield to start firing and taking them down.
"It seems that it only remains to see if the shield falls first or if we finish eliminating those zombies before that happens..."
"... I think this one will resist, so it's only a matter of time before this ends... Yoshioka, was all the zombies dispersed? There are no groups left?"
Yoshioka who had returned to camp before the shield was activated speaks to me as I watch some zombies come to the shield and start hitting it to try to get past... they kept doing that until a person arrives and kills them.
As I said, I had confidence in the energy shield and so I wasn't worried about zombies invading the camp.
My concern was different... if the zombies broke up, then it would be more troublesome to search for the general of this horde throughout the area around the camp and perhaps he could escape.
If this continued with the same behavior of the other intelligent zombies, then surely this one would try to be in a safe place and also if he noticed that his subordinates did not manage to enter here, he could choose to withdraw without even showing himself.
"It's like you're probably thinking, Alexander-san. A group kept a distance from the camp... so surely the one leading this horde will be there.
But there is only one problem... from what I could see there were about 10 thousand of them and this group was made up of only evolved zombies, so to reach the leader you will have to go through these first.
"...well, that is certainly somewhat problematic. But I think that is easier than having to search it all over the place, after all, those 10,000 subordinates he keeps around him can be treated in different ways... it would also be more troublesome than later he ordered those subordinates next to him to attack here.
...You and Soichiro continue to lead the soldiers in the camp, I will take a helicopter and head to where that leader is "
"I understand. Be careful"
After talking to Yoshioka I head to the helipad and board a military military transport helicopter along with my group and another team of 10 men. Also, this time I bring Haruna who had stayed inside the camp all this time and even the two girls who also came with her here.
Since we did not know what is the maximum distance was for the link with her monsters to continue working to they would gain some experience for it, so I had also asked them to come here. Well, since Iruka-chan's monster would not participate in the battle, she didn't need to be here, but since her mom and best friend were coming, it would be a cruel thing to leave her in MLDW alone.
Logically I did not intend to make them fight head-on against those enemies, I had a different plan to deal with those zombies and with this, they could also easily benefit.
The helicopter rises and we leave the energy shield, doing this caused a peculiar sensation like a slight tingling throughout the body but it quickly disappears.
After that, the pilot steers the helicopter in the direction Yoshioka had told us he had seen that group of zombies and then in a few minutes we can see them with our eyes.
"Well, everyone gets ready to do the things I told you before... don't be rush, focus and do it quietly taking the time you need.
Make the Helicopter down! "
"Yes!"
When the pilot answers my instruction and begins to do what I asked him, everyone else here was looking serious as they held in their hands the things I gave them. So when we are a few dozen meters from our target, they all carry out my previous words.
Immediately several bright lights emanate from the helicopter... if it were night now it was sure that this would be something very striking that would be appreciated from a good distance.
Although most of the faces were one of surprise, it didn't seem like there was a problem so I also take the magic scroll in my hand and a crystal to activate it. Because I had experience with this, despite having started after the others, my parchment spell attacks that group of zombies first.
Second after this one, others more start to fall on them like rain... there were fireballs, lightning bolts, wind blades, rocks and other more spells hitting the area where those zombies were.
Also, this didn't stop there, after they finished using the first parchment we all moved on to the next one and repeated the same thing making things even worse for zombies on the ground.
Due to this the dust rises and we cannot see very well the result of the attack with the magic scrolls, although thanks to the same helicopter that scattered the dust by the wind generated by its propellers, we did not have to wait long to discover it.
I was hoping to reduce their number quite a bit, but... this result exceeded my expectations. Well, looking at the attacks that each scroll made, perhaps this was not much different from an artillery bombardment...
The group of zombies ... no, perhaps it can no longer be considered as such. Those zombies were now scattered over a larger area and also, probably none have remained intact ... in fact, of those 10,000, those who seemed to be able to move after the attack most likely did not exceed 1,000.
"...that was an impressive thing"
"Yes ... also the feeling of receiving instructions directly in the head is somewhat strange"
"Rika, Rika ~! Did you see it !? I used magic!"
"... first zombies and now magic... the world has really become something very strange"
" So this is what you used in my house, Alexander-kun?... I agree with Rika-san that this is something mysterious"
"From what I have seen, it seems that these serve to attack or defend, mom. Without a doubt they are very interesting objects"
"It's true, the time we had problems in the building before, the one Saeko-san used helped us a lot... but more than interesting, Saya. I think these are very useful... those zombies were almost totally annihilated"
Kurisu agrees with Saeko who is the first to speak after coming out of surprise at seeing the result of the attack and also she comments on the feeling of using the scrolls. Saeko probably recovered before the others since she had used a scroll as Reí says when she speaks to the last of them all about the thing in the building.
The pair of friends, Shisuka and Rika are the next to speak. The first expresses excited to the second that does not pay much attention to her for being lost in her thoughts, so the second began to shake her to she listen to her.
Yuriko-san seems to remember the time we were in her mansion because of this, and her daughter tells her of her analyzes of the times she had seen the use of the scrolls.
"Now it only remains to finish with the leftovers, those who can fight on the ground come down with me and those who do not, will be our support from the helicopter with their rifles
Also, the leader of the zombie horde must still be alive so we must find him and destroy him. "
"Yes, Master!"
"Yes…"
Getting a response from Leona and Scythe, I threw a rope to get off the helicopter and then seeing me do that, Saeko also mimics my actions.
"Tan Tan… Tan Tan Tan… Tan… Tan Tan Tan… Tan… Tan Tan Tan… Tan… Tururu… Tururu♪♪"
"I-I understand that guy is not nervous, but... why the hell is he singing while he is lowering the rope!"
"Well… maybe he does it that to focus better?"
"... b-but he looks cute acting like someone according to his age. Besides, Komuro you shouldn't curse other people!"
"I-I understand mom..."
"Fufufu, it is good to see Alex-san motivated"
While everyone watches me begin to descend the rope while I hum the theme of a good action movie that I have seen in my previous world, the others put different expressions for this.
Komuro, you don't get it... it's almost obligatory to sing that song when you get off a helicopter by a rope. Well, that is not your fault since sadly for you and the others, it is impossible to know the theme of the movie "Mission: Impossible"...
Furthermore, the two mature women who accompanied us, Yuriko-san and Haruna, they express their speculations or internal thoughts in their heads as to why I do it. It seems that most of the other girls agree with what the latter says since after listening to it, they nod and even some have slightly flushed faces.
Lastly, when Leona and Scythe start down the ropes that they threw. Saeko after of laugh a little and say that, then she takes the rope with I'm down and does the same.
As the helicopter had descended as much as possible, it did not take long for the 4 of us to reach the ground and being able to see the place more closely, really it seems that someone would have carried out an artillery bombardment here... the only difference is that there are not only marks of combustion, there are also residues like ice and some other things.
"Well, then let's proceed to finish off the remaining ones in this group."
"Yes, Master!"
"..."
"I get it"
With two of the three girls responding to me and one only gesturing with her head, then each of us advanced towards the enemies that can still move.
