Confronting the frenzied attacks of the underground ratmen, Clyde was fearless and used his blade storm like before, repeating his old tactic.
This time, the underground ratmen knew the terror of his blade storm. They didn’t dare to clash head-on like before. Facing his attack, they retreated. Hundreds upon hundreds of underground ratmen were directly driven out of Service Hotel’s door by a single soldier. Just with his physical strength, the crisis on the first floor of Service Hotel was temporarily alleviated.
Miss Anna and the others were not as shy as before following this short period for adapting to their current state. Since everyone else was similarly bare, their degree of shame was not so big. Moreover, these aristocratic ladies who usually attached great importance to etiquette, actions, and bearing, upon suddenly exposing and releasing themselves, felt the indescribable feeling of breaking a taboo restraint, making them a little excited. For these young ladies, occasionally experiencing these kinds of bad girl vibes was marvelous.
Under the persuasion of Miss Anna and the others, the survivors in the reception hall, those noble madams as well as the maids of Service Hotel, also took off their clothes. In order to survive, not even the nobles cared about their statuses, not to mention the maids. They usually wore very little during work, at most some gauze, little different from being completely bare. It was not difficult for them to completely take off their clothes now. After all, their usual work uniforms were similar. However, those noble ladies found it somewhat difficult. They usually had honorable statuses, so being suddenly deprived of their clothing shocked them due to the great disparity from the status quo. It made them feel as if they had fallen from being lofty aristocrats to becoming slaves. They were unable to accept this momentarily.
“You all are so shameless. How can women wear… wear nothing in public?”
“Then, do you want to stay behind to accompany those giant rats?”
“Don’t, don’t go! I… it was my mistake just now. Don’t abandon me!”
“That’s more like it. Not even jewelry can be worn! Hurry up; otherwise, we won’t wait for you once those giant rats rush over.”
The wickedness concealed in the hearts of Miss Anna and the others was awakened in this special environment. After freeing themselves, offending their elders, and breaking the chains of authority, they felt an indescribable excitement. Under the smiles of these little wicked devils, those stern madams who usually disciplined the junior ladies faced reality and had to lower their heads, choosing to submit. Then, in accordance with these juniors’ words, they took off all the superfluous things on their bodies, including head ornaments, necklaces, rings, and all other jewelry. Originally Clyde hadn’t thought to extend his claws toward these desperate ladies, but beyond his expectations, Anna and the others inadvertently helped him.
Those madams could do nothing. After all, they were all very frightened; moreover, no matter how they glossed it over, they were no match for Anna and the others. At least, these young ladies weren’t so scared of those underground ratmen that their legs would go soft or that they’d curl up under the tables or shiver in a corner. They had bravely fought until the final moment. These madams were incomparable to them, and their momentum collapsed. They had to accept the juniors’ request. Even with the juniors’ commanding tone, this would be absolutely impossible in normal times.
After driving out all the underground ratmen from Service Hotel’s entrance, Clyde returned. In the entrance area of Service Hotel, he saw the maids who had welcomed him in before. Those underground ratmen had already looted them clean. Fortunately, they hadn’t resisted, so those humanoid monsters had ignored them after stealing their things and continued to fight the others. Following Clyde’s offer of aid, these greatly terrified and stunned girls came to their senses and fled to the reception hall. They had no time to care about how they were running completely naked before a man.
From a certain perspective, these underground ratmen could be counted as true gentleman. They just looted these girls without laying their hands on them. If they were other humanoid monsters, there was no guarantee that it wouldn’t have developed into an indescribable scene. In fact, if they looked a little more pleasing to the eye, some people might have even indulged in them if guaranteed safety. After all, many people had odd fetishes, and both monsters and men could determine beauty.
A tragic bloodbath could be seen everywhere in the streets of Benson Town. The only fortunate thing was that during the outbreak of the underground ratmen, most of the underground ratmen had towards the wrong direction to attack at the beginning instead of pouring past the guards of Kelifu Prison. The main force had attacked the underground portion of Kelifu Prison, which had had shadow monsters arranged by Clyde. The shadow monsters had completely destroyed them, delaying the attack on Benson Town. It had given enough time for the residents to escape. After seeing the situation was amiss, most of the residents had successfully fled, escaping death.
By the time the underground ratmen had wanted to chase after those fleeing residents of Benson Town, it had already been too late; they had missed the best time to chase after them. The allied monster army under the command of Clyde’s younger sister Lucifer had already arrived at the periphery of Benson Town and easily reversed the situation. Not only had several military camps of elite troops arranged by Earl Gerard in the periphery of Benson Town been wiped out, but also a portion of the pursuing underground ratmen had been massacred in passing during the march on Benson Town. In addition, facing the deterrence of the monster army, the underground ratmen hadn’t dared to spread out, trapping them in Benson Town.
Now, fighting monsters could be seen throughout Benson Town. The residents, those innocent humans, were baffled. They were somehow reduced to becoming a third party, spectators watching a battle. Some unfortunate ones would be killed by stray attacks, but they were mostly ignored. However, they could do nothing about it, the human army had already been completely defeated, so they could only serve as weak spectators.
According to Clyde’s commands, the monster army didn’t attack the fleeing residents of Benson Town. However, those residents didn’t dare to run towards them upon seeing all the ferocious and terrifying monsters. It was impossible for them to believe that these monsters had any goodwill towards them. Now, they faced a monster army in the front and underground ratmen, those humanoid monsters, in the back. After observing such a hopeless situation, many residents of Benson Town escaped towards the forest, not daring to take the main road. They planned to cross the forest and find a human army.
The safest place nearby was Ian Town, which became the first choice of asylum for these fleeing residents. The army of Steinbeck Fief was stationed there. According to Clyde’s instructions, the army had hung Adrian Empire’s banner there, indicating that they were an army of the empire and would accept all the fleeing residents of Benson Town.
As for the other towns, they were already chaotically evacuating. After learning of the appearance of terrifying monsters in Benson Town, the residents and troops station in those nearby towns all choose to flee without putting up any defense. Basically, it was impossible for them to accept these refugees of Benson Town. Now, they were unable to fend for themselves; they had no time to attend to others.
The Human Race had an innate fear towards undead monsters. A certain special suppression existed between these two sides. Human armies fought bravely in civil wars, but in external wars, facing undead monsters, they quickly became terrified and would run in fear without even thinking of resisting. The army of Steinbeck Fief, however, was connected with that monster army. In fact, they could be counted as one group, so they could maintain their calm even when surrounded by the army of over 100,000 monsters.
Clyde didn’t care about the tragic sights on the streets. After driving out those underground ratmen, he stood at the entrance for a little while, watching those bare greeting maids who nervously waited in the vicinity of the door while looking at him in anticipation of his commands. They had experienced the looting of the underground ratmen, but since they hadn’t resisted at all, they had survived until his arrival.
Naturally, to enter Service Hotel, they had to be completely naked. The complexions of these maids became red, but they also couldn’t care about their current shame. They had frantically rushed toward Service Hotel in fear that the underground ratmen would do all kinds of indescribable things to them if they were a step too late. Although the underground ratmen were truly innocent, they were just too frightening. It was hard to make women not think badly of them.
After confirming that all the surviving girls in the vicinity of Service Hotel’s entrance had rushed in, Clyde withdrew to the reception hall. Before closing the door, Clyde gathered bits and pieces outside the door and burned them, forming an artificial burning barrier. It would stop those underground ratmen for some time. Since the monster army under Lucifer was entering Benson Town, the reinforcements of the underground ratmen were doomed to never arrive.
“Anna. You take everyone to the second floor. There are many humanoid monsters outside!”
“Isn’t the second floor the place for the meeting? If we run into those men…”
“No need to worry; I just came down. Anyone not dead will have already escaped. I will take the lead. Is that enough?”
After Clyde returned to Service Hotel, he closed the entrance door and used heavy objects like tables to block it from the inside, forming a second line of defense. If the underground ratmen broke through the firewall, this second defense would obstruct their invasion. In the reception hall on the first floor of Service Hote were a large number of survivors. All were women; moreover, they were all alluringly bare alluring. Wide expanses of white, enchanting scenery could be seen everywhere. This made Clyde have wicked thoughts of taking them to the underground Kelifu prison and do all kinds of indescribable things.
Since Clyde was wearing a soldier’s helmet that completely covered his face, these white lambs were unable to see his extremely wicked expression. Only Miss Anna who understood Clyde had a rough guess at her master’s true thoughts about how to “eat clean” these white lambs!
Now, most of the white lambs in the reception hall were very frightened. They automatically overlooked his concealed wicked gaze and never thought of him taking advantage of their difficulties. They regarded Clyde as their sole supporter, entrusting everything to him as the only man here. This special circumstance made them automatically ignore their shameful states and expose their everything in front of a man, letting him enjoy as he pleased.
Although this method was very base and shameless, this was all within his plans, and he himself didn’t feel that there were any problems with this.
Following his lead, everyone moved towards the second floor. Before, Clyde had been able to discern the clashing of weapons above, but now, there was nothing. Clyde raised his vigilance: something unexpected might have happened.
At the stairs of Service Hotel, Clyde stopped and raised his hand to signal for Anna and the others to stand still. He took the initiative to explore above by himself. At the head of the stairs, Clyde faintly smelled the damp air from artificial lake Andy; the underground ratmen didn’t have this kind of smell. Clyde guessed that a third party might have appeared and became cautious.
