A Chronicle of Life in a Different World

Episode 542: Opening of the War Part 3

Gregorians gathered to hear the explosion as a result of the “suicide bombing” of the sniper. Sarah sensed the heat source approaching by surrounding the place where the explosion sounded, and when she heard it, Reus leaked a slight voice of surprise in her heart.

(I knew you had a lot of hand craftsmanship, but I couldn't be insulted as you approached me moving around like it wasn't straight....)

Sarah has detected more than ten sources of heat, but it seems that she is making sure that each one moves in multiple ways, three or four, rather than in pieces.

Reurus was impressed and troubled by the way bandits were moving, which was unlikely to be encountered on the street by mistake.

Sarah feels the heat, not the magic or the strength of her opponent. Reurus and the others are working together in multiple ways, but if the opponent is skilled - for example, they were all bishops - they will not be spared the struggle.

"Mr. Reurus, I'm ahead. Surprise them by drawing their attention."

It was a Reurus that was thinking about that, but when Gilba told her that she was running side-by-side, she would speed it up all at once. Reurus didn't have time to stop, but Zilba's body suddenly flew into space.

Gilba leaps and kicks at the trunk of the tree that was growing in the direction of travel, jumping from one tree to the next as if she were not feeling gravity.

What kind of hips are you wearing? Gilba's speed doesn't slow down all the time. Instead, it seems to be accelerating, and the dull banging sound of Zilba kicking the trunk of the tree begins to resonate in the forest.

The Gregorians who were approaching Zilba's way of getting around also noticed. As a result, he immediately releases his weapon and shows himself alert to the surroundings.

The number is four. Turn your backs on each other and be alert to everything around 360 degrees - it turned out to be a failure.

Zilba kicks at the trunk of the tree temporarily and makes a loud noise. The moment the Gregorians' gaze turned towards you, Zilba was gone.

Jumping upwards, Gilba kicked at the branch of the tree that was stretching over her head and fell at once, landing in the middle of most of the Gregorians who had turned their backs to one another and “turned blind spots".

"Ha!? Kikke-"

"One"

Still, the Gregorians react instantly and try to shake their weapons. However, Zilba struck the heart of the fastest moving man into the bottom of his palm without seeing it collapse into the next prey.

The Gregorians recovered from their astonishment while Zilba took the first one, but it was too late.

The man lying next to the sword he had pulled out to kill Jilba witnessed Jilba diving down from the sword flash trajectory the moment he waved the sword.

"Two"

Zilba's folded elbow grabs the man's chest. The elbow, which was driven from the dove tail to the top, fully conveyed the impact of the step, crushing the sternum without blowing the man away, causing him to collapse into the spot like a doll with a broken thread.

"Leave once..."

"Where are you?

The moment the man who saw the Zilba move tried to jump behind him, the right foot of Zilba who stepped in was crushing the back of the man's left foot. The body of the man jumping behind him swims through the universe and exposes a deadly gap as Zilba forcefully stops.

"Three"

The bottom of the left palm grabs the man's chest. At the same time, there was a dull sound that the “leather bag with water” was torn, and the man's body weakened.

The last remaining Gregorians suck the whistle that was hanging on their neck aggressively. At the very least, I tried to whistle to let you know the abnormality, but the moment I took a breath, Jilba approached me.

"Hugh."

"Four"

Zilba's swinging knife grabbed the man's neck as he tried to whistle. The blow was not to the neck, but the sound of crushing and folding the trees cut off the Gregorian consciousness forever.

There is little delay in reaching such a Jilba. The rushing Reurus saw the Gregorians lying down on the ground without a single soul.

Reurus looks around cautiously and asks Zilba to make sure there are no enemies.

"Mr. Gilba, all of a sudden I'm not going to say anything about what happened first, but there's only one thing... I wonder what a surprise is... what should I do..."

"I'm sorry, I took him down because he was more unresponsive than I thought. There was one person who responded slightly better, but maybe less than or equal to the sacrifice... maybe the handcraft was placed further ahead."

With that, Zilba crouched down and began to fish the pockets of the Gregorians. However, Zilba only leaves enough food and water to carry around, and Zilba stands up immediately.

"I might have found out about the opponent's team if I had a written order... but would you let me have one of those? You won't have time to throw up, and you'll have to hunt from someone who seems easy to hunt."

(Wow... I told you to hunt this guy instead of killing him... but that's the usual thing.)

Having heard Gilba's remarks, Reurus was troubled by the reaction, but it was also “business as usual.”

"Hmm... I'm sure I can count on you, but if you mistakenly attack someone other than the Greeks..."

"Haha, you say something interesting, Ms. Eliza. You think I'm mistaking unrelated people for those heathens?

"Ah, ahaha... yeah, I'm kidding..."

In response to Gilba's remarks, Eliza returns to a dry laugh. Eliza knew exactly how Reurus felt, but she could only be trusted to fight the Gregorians.

"I'd like to hide the body in order to delay the discovery...."

While saying so, Jilba checked the surrounding terrain, but from a distance, a high-armored sound like a whistle sounded. It was from the direction where the Gregorians first met, and Zilba shrugged her shoulders when she heard the sound.

"You don't have much time... Sarah, how many enemies are there?

"Hmm... it's growing. I don't know the exact number, but... ten to less than twenty?

"So, what's the direction?

That said, when Gilba touches her finger, Sarah quickly begins to explore the heat source.

"Three... five?

"Now, let's change course. You can go hunting the group in the back, but that's a lot of trouble. If we move around, it's going to be hard to catch us."

Gilba seems to have chosen to sprinkle rather than kill him, as he still has some distance to reach his “destination”. Reurus doubts Gilba's judgment.

"I knew Zilba-san would take care of the rest of them together....."

"I want to do that in the mountains, but this time the bishop is coming out? I don't want to get tired as much as I can, though I don't have much skill. And if the group is against them, it can be" if. "

What I came back with was a very honest opinion. Therefore, Reurus nodded convincingly.

"I see...."

"Besides, if we were to move around, would we be sparing manpower for the search? If we take care of the group breaking up, we'll be safe."

"... I see."

Apparently, they're not going after the group, and they're going to take care of everything that comes after them. Reurus, who realized it, nodded back with his face.

He then proceeds into the woods, occasionally taking down the Gregorians and disturbing the pursuit. Reurus, who had repeatedly done so, tilted his neck after his fifth assault.

"That's a lot of people... isn't this a hundred people instead of dozens?

"Yes... as far as I know, there are a lot of Gregorians in the whole continent, but I didn't expect this to be a big crowd in this Mataroi... perhaps it wasn't exactly a farcical story that we were targeting Lord Vanier."

Zilba confirms the “gear” of the Gregorians who fell on the ground. The weapon that Gregorians had been wearing had been polarized as they had attempted.

One is a “Grego-like” melee weapon, such as a sword or spear.

And the other is a long-range weapon, such as a crossbow or the first gun you see.

It was also a multitude of people with each weapon, and when they found the trio, they thought they were all crossbows, or guns and melee weapons, swords and spears were mixed, but the equipment was uniform as if they were divided into “roles.”

The trouble among them are those who possess gun-like flying gear. Gilba chose to destroy gun-like objects rather than her own life, even if she tried to kill them by surprise. They deliberately carry explosive powder separately, so many of them jump in to suicide bomb Gilba.

It was troublesome in the sense of attracting other Gregorians with the sound of gunfire and suicide bombings. Still, it's dangerous to be sniped from afar while fighting other Gregorians, so we can't just leave them alone.

As a result, reducing the number of Gregorians has been successful in itself, but there is not much information available.

However, it is not an unfounded assumption that Reurus said “in hundreds”. If Zilba is to be vigilant around "destinations," he needs to deploy personnel in a circle and be vigilant.

The number of people who feel the anomaly and the extent to which Sarah can sense the heat source. Combining them together and calculating the approximate number, it was only possible to estimate as few as 100 or more people.

― ― If you succeed, there is a possibility of increasing the number of people, not just 100, but 200 and 300.

"... this is not a matter for us to shake, but for Mr. Bernard and others to lead the army, right?

Unexpectedly, the number of opponents seemed to be high enough to ask Zilba that way.

"Hmm... it depends on how many bishops and priests there are, but the first magic team led by this' Tian Thunder 'lord would be able to beat an equal number of Gregorians with minor damage. However, since Mataroi organizes an army to fight other countries rather than Gregorians, I wonder if it can be moved....."

"There may have been a few people who could deal with advanced magic, and I don't want to let my Gregorian opponents drain my strength..." Well, I think Bernard would be happy to fight. "

Reurus and Gilba talk like that while taking a break and drinking water. Eliza and the others were each drinking water, but since Reurus and Gilba were the most active in the strategy of assault, Eliza and the others still seemed to have room.

Nevertheless, you must be alert to your surroundings while you are resting. Sarah is constantly searching for heat sources, and both Reurus and Gilba are talking, looking for signs around them.

--So even if Sarah overlooks her enemies, Reurus and Gilba will immediately notice.

"Hugh... hey, it's a big deal to think it's so noisy. As reported, I'm surprised."

"That's a 'rabid dog'... I see, it's only natural that the sentry dies a lot lightly. The other guy... oh, that's the" monster eater ". It can't be stopped by a fine sacrifice."

As Reurus and Gilba felt the sign, they shouted, "The other party also noticed it.” Sarah's ability to detect the magic has slipped through and approached her.

"... Bishop?"

And when he saw the two majestic dwellings, Reurus murmured.
