I'm Actually Not Overpowered!

The meeting eventually came to a close, and I ended up having to personally deliberate the bulk of the matters discussed at the meeting.

For example—

"How the heck are we supposed to win with these odds?"

But, since I had enjoyed the privileges of being a Hero for a while, it was time to suffer the repercussions.

'Alright, Sam! Let's work for our meal!'

***********

That night, Asa, Gu, and Liebert were shown their residence in the Guest House.

They each had their respective rooms, making their eyes widen in disbelief.

Not only were the rooms big enough to ensure comfort, but the Adventurers also got to experience something amazing.

The bed, as well as other furniture, were made of wood—one of the rarest resources in the world.

And then, the soft foam of the beds was downright amazing! Asa could feel herself sink into it, and she had never felt anything so strangely pleasant in all her life.

'Amazing... amazing!'

Gu and Liebert didn't find it any less impressive than Asa. Their expressions alone told of the amazement they had towards the respective rooms they would be staying in.

Even though they were still concerned about their comrades who were on the battle lines fighting hard for their city, they felt it was more blasphemous to doubt the Hero. He had things under control, so the only thing they could do was trust in his abilities.

He was their Hero, after all.

And so, the three Adventurers slept like babies, enjoying the warm hospitality of their savior.

Asa personally felt more indebted and attached to him.

'Maybe one day...' A smile played on her glossy lips as she smiled.

'... I'll tell him the truth about me.'

Asa had been very hesitant to bring it up, back when she had met Sam at Dulum. She didn't know him that well, and he felt so much out of her reach that she couldn't afford to bother him.

This was still true, even now. However, Asa was certain that things would be different now.

She had more confidence in Sam, much more than ever before.

'Once this battle is over, I'll tell him!' Her eyes lit up in anticipation.

Once she made up her mind, deep sleep took her away from the state of consciousness.

***********.

The next day, the three hundred soldiers in the inadequate army I had, were gathered—the demons on the right side and humans on the left.

Lilith and Lucy were the ones in charge of rallying their respective troops, and the two women now stood in front of them.

Their eyes were ablaze with determination, and I could sense the same vibe from their subordinates.

'Haaa... making me feel guilty.' I wish I had this same faith in myself.

Once I checked that everyone was present, I knew we were ready to go. There was only one thing left.

It was so obvious that even a child would realize it, considering the enemy we were up against.

'We're completely outnumbered!'

But, I had long realized this. That was why—

"W-WHOAH!""AMAZING!"

"THIS IS CRAZY!"

—I spent all night completing a major project I had been undertaking.

'Project Sentinel!'

Standing right behind my forces of three hundred were about one hundred more personnel.

However, they weren't living creatures. No, they were the backup forces I prepared for emergencies—the line of defense that was never supposed to be broken.

'Golems!' I grinned at the giant humanoid constructs.

They were all Earth Golems—made from the vast lands spread about us, and also from the rocks we harvested from the large hills and mountains.

Each of them was powerful in their own right—though the upgraded Jason was still more powerful.

'Jason was my first project, after all. I had to make it a tad superior to the others.'

As a result, the Chief Golem stood in front of its comrades, looking geared and ready for battle.

The Adventurers who stood behind me were most likely amazed by these constructs. I could hear their shrieks and gasps, after all.

"This much is nothi—" I instantly froze upon seeing Asa's eyes directly locked with mine.

Her gaze seemed so intense that I felt completely overwhelmed.

'What did I do this time? Why is she staring at me? Is she still thinking about what I said last night?'

There just was no pleasing women, was there?

I accepted my fate and simply decided to focus on the future, hoping she would hate me less when I saved her life and city.

'Still, even with one hundred Golems joining our army, our odds didn't increase by much...'

Sure, these Golems were made to be superior to Lower Class Demons, but even Jason's abilities were at most Level 30, the pinnacle of human strength.

In essence, it would be evenly matched with Lucy, but it would lose badly against the likes of Lilith. As for the other Golems, their Levels were hovering around Level 20 to 25.

Jason's Golem Level was Level 5, and the others were Level 4. Just for reference, the Max Level a Golem could ever attain was Level 10.

In essence, my 'masterpiece' project was just an average one at best.

'These hundred will be useful in handling the Lower Class troops, especially because of their regeneration and inability to get tired. But, if the Middle-Class Demons interfere, then it's all over.'

I had to find another way to ensure absolute victory.

'It's pretty much too late to start looking for allies, so we'll have to make do with what we've got...'

If there was any advantage we possessed, it was that I used Magic Runes to enhance the equipment of everyone.

But, last I checked, demons also had access to Rune technology.

There was a possibility that our opponents also had strong Magic and enchanted weapons on their side.

That fact alone scared me.

'How are we supposed to defeat over ten thousand with this pittance of an army? Damn... this is insane.'

I had a few more things in my Inventory. Stuff I wanted to try out.

But, how sure was I that it would have a decisive effect on the battlefield?

"Even with this small number, do not worry. I have a plan." I smiled at everyone behind me.

Their eyes showed absolute belief, and everyone nodded in approval.

'This is a bit scary...'
