After leaving 3 ink men behind to protect the four cubs Alex called back the 16 crows and the wolves. He then injected more chakra into the crows and increased their size. Once they were big enough to ride he jumped on one and brought out the 10 archers and had them do the same.
From the sky he could see the villagers running into the forest, "Looks like the other crows have done their job."
The crows that he had summoned were ordered to scout and report but the last part had multiple meanings. If any crow saw armored men they would spread the message to the rest and then he and the villagers would be notified. The crows that warned the village would send the message by going into the wall or anything else that was visible and transforming themselves into writing.
'At the beginning, I was against warning the people since the reason that Ainz got himself involved was because the village was being massacred. In the end, I decided to give them a bit of a warning, that way at least some of the people would be able to escape and not so many would die.'
When he had just arrived at the top of the village he saw the first few men start to come out of the forest. They rode their horses through the village and started to cut down some of the unfortunate villagers who were still in the village.
"Let's give you a taste of your own medicine you bastards."
The crows flew downwards towards the unexpected cavalry which had not discovered the danger in the sky since they were too busy killing the villagers.
("Continuous Fire")
The archers released their arrows and 7 unarmored horses unexpectedly stopped and hit the ground but that wasn't the end. As he gave the mental order for the archers to start firing at the horses, Alex grabbed 2 parchments and he supplied them with chakra. The 9 wolves and 17 men that were drawn on it appeared on the air next to him.
As they fell the ink summons ran towards the confused soldiers that were looking around in confusion. It was as if the ink drawing were climbing down a set of invisible stairs.
By now the enemy had discovered where the endless rain of arrows was coming from and he began to receive some return fire which had costed him 2 or 3 crows but even if the crows were turned into a pile of ink it didn't stop the archers who continued firing.
"Well at least I've got their attention but at this rate, I'm going to need to make a quick stop. Looks like it's time to call in the calvary."
He took out a parchment with many small drawings. When he had supplied chakra to it the drawings popped out of the paper and created a black cloud.
("Swarm")
The tens of bees spread out and flew to the armored men who had taken care of most of the humanoid figures. They seemed to be struggling a bit more with the wolves but since they had armor the men didn't really have to worry about them. The arrows were also not able to penetrate the armor but during the 2 weeks he was there Alex found a solution. All he had to do was summon something small enough to breach their armor. He had tried out several drawings but in the end, one of his personal favorites was the bees.
At first, he had only thought about having them hurt the soldiers but after testing it out on a goblin he discovered that the bees would inject ink into the body. With enough stings, the human would most likely die or become extremely sick. The cheap ink was extremely effective probably due to the fact that it was made from soot. The soot would go into the bloodstream of the humans and well it harmed them.
While the soldiers were busy waving their hands around he jumped off the crow, since he was wearing the ink armor he had the same ability to move in the air freely. He ran towards his house and quickly picked up the rest of his drawings, ink, and brush. Alex jumped to the top of his roof and looked at the situation of the Slane Theocracy's soldiers. The men had taken off their armor and were rolling around on the ground.
A big smile appeared on Alex's face, 'Perfect, now time to kill two birds with one stone.'
He grabbed a parchment from the new stack, a grenade launcher flew out of the paper and straight into his hands. He pointed it towards the beat-up soldiers who seemed to have started relaxing after defeating all the ink summons and fired all 6 shots their way.
The moment that the black ink ball, that was fired from the grenade launcher, touched the ground a tremendous amount of ink was splattered in a 50 feet radius. The unsuspecting soldiers were caught of guard once again and most had their whole bodies covered in ink. They tried to clean their eyes but no matter how much they tried the ink wouldn't smear off and it wasn't like Alex was going to stay there waiting. He brought out another parchment and seconds later 6 large armed mechs appeared and began shooting at the location where the soldiers were with their heavy machine guns attached to them.
Now that the men were no longer armored the ink bullets shouldn't have much trouble killing them. The one weakness the mechs had was that they were extremely vulnerable. A stray arrow was enough to kill them but at the moment nearly all the soldiers couldn't even open their eyes.
'With this not only should the first set of enemies be dead but Ainz should see that I'm also from earth. I mean I have guns and mechs for god's sake.
While he was thinking he suddenly heard a swoosh, when he turned around he saw an arrow right at the moment it hit his chest plate. The chest plate quickly turned to ink and dirtied the suit that he had underneath. He turned around and found an archer from the slane theocracy.
Right as he was going to give and order one of the mechs to shoot the archer a shadowy figure of a winged human emerged from the soldier's shadow and cut his head off with a clean swipe.
'Oh, shit that thing looks so freaking cool!!!!, Well looks like I have his attention, hopefully, I don't regret it.'
Alex ordered the robots to stop firing and he activated his dragonic eyes. Everything in his surrounding became outlined in black lines, but what he saw made him swallow his saliva. Under all 6 mechs, there was a shadow demon, but more importantly from the corner of his eyes, he could see 3 sets of yellow eyes glaring at him from inside his shadow.
