"This is the last stop! Everyone not part of the main expedition party can disembark." Shiroe ordered as they finally reached the northernmost city near the coast.
After those players disembarked, all that left is the major Battle Guild, D.D.D. and Black Swords Knight and the people from the Chat Group.
"So… how are we going to do this?" Ainz and all Chat Group members minus Ray and Tanya gathered on the front deck with Shiroe and Morgan who are looking at the hordes of enemies below with slight amusement.
"No clue. Unlike the players, your guys have a very different ability system different from the Elder Tale game. So, coordinating our efforts is a little difficult…" He trailed off before turning to Morgan as the other also did.
Morgan noticed the stare given to her and she turned away her gaze from the ground and looked at the assembled people her husband arranged for this game he prepared.
"In my opinion, Sir Ainz and Rimuru are strong enough to act independently. Especially Sir Ainz with his powerful allies. As for the rest, they will coordinate with the main force to attack the monsters." Morgan said before turning around and cast a magecraft similar to Ainz's Mirror of Remote Viewing and shows the strong subspecies monsters such as Champions, Generals and King. "I would like Sir Ainz and Rimuru to take out these stronger monsters that can cause a large number of casualties to the main force during the battle."
"That would be a great idea." Ainz nods, agreeing with Morgan that they should have a plan to deny the enemy's main powerhouse from joining the battle to reduce casualties on their part.
"Oh, I agree too. This is a simple and straightforward plan." Rimuru agreed too.
Then, once the tactics had been discussed and agreed upon. Morgan is going to start the battle and attack the general and king candidate of a Goblin Clan hiding in the mountain below.
"I wonder how powerful I have become since partaking in my husband's ichor." Morgan wondered as she never got the chance to unleash her attack in a serious manner. But this is an opportunity for her.
Mana surged around Morgan visibly as green flame that dances as her throne of Camelot briefly overlaps with reality as her mana surged to its critical output.
"The land of Eastal is just the beginning as the world shall be united under my banner. So, begone from my land, you vermin." Morgan stared at the fortress erected by the Goblins in the mountain below.
"Roadless Camelot."
A dark beam shot from her axe staff and flew pretty harmlessly down to the mountain below. It was a total silence until seconds later before a sudden shockwave and wind blast almost caused the warship to capsize. Then everyone witnessed a grand explosion that wiped out the entire mountain leaving only a gigantic crater behind.
Not just the player and Chat Group members are shocked. Even Morgan herself is shocked because she is purposely trying to hold back after hearing from the others how crazy the power boost is after receiving Ray's power.
In that attack, it's just 10% of her normal firepower she used and it's almost like double her normal output which evaporated the entire mountain. Now she has the curiosity of what if she releases her maximum output?
Most of the Chat Group members didn't fail to notice the expression of shock on Morgan's face because of their close proximity.
Ainz turned his head sideways and addressed the Chat Group members. "Are we even needed here?" He asked while Rimuru raised his shoulder and wondered too.
Then there's Kirito.
"Do you think I can cut through that magic?" He asked while looking at his swords as if he was expecting an answer before he hummed and said, "Indeed, I am sorry for asking such a foolish question." He grinned while tightened his grip on his swords while staring at Morgan excitedly. "I will challenge her after dealing with Kazuma."
Meanwhile there's Megumin dying to ask Morgan to teach her the vastly superior Explosion Magic. She is willing to do anything to learn Morgan's Rhongomyniad Magecraft. Not that she could.
Back to Morgan.
To cover up her surprise, Morgan didn't turn around to hide her happy and flustered face as she ordered.
"What are you people waiting for? Attack!" She said after a cough to clear her throat.
The others didn't voice out their complaints. But what is there left to attack? She single handedly evaporated the enemy stronghold and majority of their forces. What is left are just traumatized deserters running for their lives after surviving the initial attack by sheer luck. They might be lucky to find anything that still has willpower and willing to fight after narrowly surviving that super magic nuke.
With this clan in the coastal area are done for and the expedition force move on to the next fortress to the east.
This time, Morgan abstained from the battle and actually let the expedition forces go down and fight the Monsters.
Rimuru did have a lot of fun farming souls for his evolution along with Shion and Shuna. Although not all Monsters have appropriate souls qualified to be used for the Harvest Festival, higher ranked Monsters such as Goblin Shaman, Goblin Summoner, Goblin Warrior, etc possess sufficient self awareness to qualify as materials.
Ainz too, eager to collect drop items especially from higher ranked Monsters that drop juicy loot. With his Floor Guardians, they number less than a dozen and are as strong as a big Battle Guild, mowing through enemies like they are nothing but weeds.
The expedition force didn't stay idle either. With the support from the artillery bombardments, they swiftly clear the enemies and cornered them back into their fortress before Ainz drops a Super Tier Magic: Fallen Down to blast the fortress open.
