Chapter 49: Sssnake problem

[What is it Gloppy?]

A sigh of relief that at least they were able to communicate was followed by an audible gasp at what he had to say.

[Tribe of Lizardmen broke through the defenses, everyone is safe, and we are taking care of it now.]

[Summoner Slots 0/290 ⚚]

Even with his appearance on the battlefield, it seemed that they wouldn’t be able to take it lightly. If they needed all of their Summoner Slots outside it meant that things were dire.

[Do you at least know where the Lizardmen came from?]

[They came from east of the Ice Giant.]

As they spoke, the situation outside was taken care of, so Leo stretched his arms and called out to the rest of the party.

"We need to move fast."

Trevor looked at him with puppy eyes while smearing butter on a slice of bread. All of their stomachs rumbled as they saw the piece of bread.

"W-well we do need to eat something before we go further... right everyone?"

Nyssa asked while drooling at the sight of the beef jerky being placed on the sandwich. She looked at the rest of the party to get some validation.

She received validation as everyone nodded in agreement at the sight of the meal being prepared in front of them.

Meanwhile on the outside Gloppy could feel the exhaustion kicking in.

"It seemsss we found ourselvesss a few desserterssss"

A skinny humanoid creature walked towards him, his scales shimmered in the hot sun and the long tongue slithered across its face.

Behind it stood his underlings riding enormous snakes, towering over Gloppy and the Climbers.

Around them, a sea of Lizardmen corpses and Climbers that had already fallen.

"Don’t move another step!"

Gloppy shouted while pulling out his cutlass, but that only got a chuckle out of the monster in front of him.

"You think you can ssstand a chance againsst usss?"

[Lizardmen Prince Heins]

[HP 22 143/25 000]

Even though they all had been fighting for over an hour by now, their leader had barely been scratched, and the worst part was, that it wasn’t even a mini-boss.

"What should we do Mister Leo’s summon?"

An injured Climber came over to him, a sword tightly gripped in his hand as he coughed up blood.

His wound looked way too serious for him to just ignore it as he sighed and looked toward the three gems who had grouped up with him.

"Sapphire, can you go and treat that man? Everyone else around as well, prioritize the most injured ones first."

That request got a chuckle from the lizard in front of him who had come even closer, now only a few meters away from Gloppy.

"You think that I, Prince Heinsss will allow you to do that?"

He kicked the corpse of a nearby Climber while laughing at the slime.

"We are monstersss, thossse thingss are below uss."

A murderous aura emitted from the Warlord as he took his cutlass and took the stance to fight.

"I am The Slime Overlord and Warlord of the summoner Leo Astralis, and in his name, I will avenge those people."

[Pirate Fleet: Slimy Pearl]

[Bounty Rush]

[Conqueror’s Will]

In an instant he cast 3 skills, disorienting the army of Lizardmen as their own felt strength fill their bodies.

Behind them, the flagship of his fleet came out from thin air and sailed towards their army filled to the brim with summons.

And the third skill?

[Conquered Cutlass]

[+25% to Galleon speed]

[+50% to Cannonball damage]

[+15 Agility]

[+10 Strength]

[+10 Stamina]

[Active Ability: If the enemy is weaker than you, intimidate them]

With his attributes boosted from all of those sources, he was a tiny bit stronger than the Lizardmen behind Heins, which led to their morale dropping.

The Prince watched in anger as his subjects became anxious at the sight of the tiny slime in front of them.

"What are you ssscared of? It’s jusst a mere sslime, kill him right thiss insstant unlesss you want your familiesss to die!"

His glare forced them to move, not out of their devotion to him or the king though, but out of fear of losing their close ones.

Gloppy jumped onto the Slimy Pearl and steered it to turn in such a way that its side would face their enemies.

"Look at them! They are trying to run away, there isss nothing to be ssso sscared of you a bunch of good for not....!"

An explosion stopped his sentence as a barrage of cannonballs began to turn their armies into Swiss cheese.

Whatever was left of their morale had disappeared as their numbers dwindled.

"Retreat! We need to regroup!"

Heins shouted as they went back into the gate. On his way there he pushed aside anyone he could just to get to safety faster.

"Should we chase them..."

Sapphire asked Gloppy while treating the injured Climbers.

"Of course, we should! How dare they mess with us!"

Ruby yelled while chasing the remaining few who were unfortunate enough to not make it through the gate fast enough.

"Well... we for sure can’t let them come back to their den... Ruby we are going in, Emerald and Sapphire you are staying behind to save the Climbers."

He recalled the Slimy Pearl, knowing that it wouldn’t fit inside what was on the other side.

"And try to leave some Summoner Slot for Leo."

[The Lizardmen from outside are running back in, we will try to chase them but watch out.]

***

[Alright, thank you, and watch out for them, they are way more agile in the swamps.]

Leo answered while they walked towards the direction in which the Den was.

"Will they be able to come help us?"

Nyssa inquired about the state of the slime group since they were a major powerhouse in Leo’s arsenal, especially with over half of the Summoner Slots being allocated to them right now.

"Think about it, they are fighting the army of Lizardmen right now, which means..."

Leo made a slow spinning motion with his hand encouraging the girl to continue his sentence.

She pondered and pondered, deeply thinking what it could mean before hitting the palm of her hand with a fist and looking at him with her mouth wide open.

"Then we won’t need to worry about the monsters in their place!"

Amelia and Trevor sighed with relief. This amount of adventuring in just one day was way too much for them.

"How are you such a low level for the amount of Climbing and fighting you do?"

Trevor pondered, it felt weird to him that he and Amelia were higher level than Leo and Nyssa.

"Well, you could say we started fairly recently..."

The summoner was trying to deflect the question as it would be rather hard to explain that the skills this old man had honed for the past few years were close to being surpassed in a matter of weeks.

"Ghuys, you should fochus on the mishion right now!"

Amelia was angry, the humid weather and constant fights weren’t doing her mental state any good, but the worst part was the contact with men, her head was still spinning from spending too much time with the rotter tribe.

Suddenly someone shouted.

"Meet your makerssss you sssory bunch!"
