After being transferred to another world I became a magical
Episode 26 Bandits and Group Warfare
The day of the bandit hunt came.
The gathered members are, besides me, 2 E ranks, 2 D ranks, 1 C rank and 1 B rank. There were six of them.
Two wizards in gear, all the rest warriors?
Considering the scale of the damage, it seems that the number of bandits is about 30 to 50.
This number is quite small compared to our enemies, but I feel like I've heard that the E rank is better than D rank and the best of the adventurers. Is it a tavern?
But was the number of adventurers like this? I don't know at first, but I think it would be better to have a lower rank from the number of requests.
For now, we gathered at a large round table upstairs to introduce ourselves and conduct a tactical meeting to grasp our forces. The branch manager seems to have a policy of leaving it to the adventurer, and he said to the wizard "I asked for the rest" and went somewhere.
"D-rank one-handed swordsman, Lixen. I have a short reach, but I have a shield. Thank you."
Show me your sword. A sword about 40 cm across the blade is a short one for this world.
Shields are round shields, but they look bigger and tougher than mine.
Well, even without a shield, I would be able to use magical armor, and if the sword with cane function was completed, it would be highly likely to be useful, and I didn't want the defense performance to be that high.
Anyway, this is how I introduced myself.
I will tell you the advantages and disadvantages of fighting magic that I can use without saying anything I like.
I will introduce myself in the order I sat at the table.
E-rank double-handed swordsman, E-rank one-handed swordsman - slightly bigger weapons and smaller shields than Lixen - finally came my turn.
"E-ranked magical swordsman, Kaede. The magic firing speed is so fast and the number of bullets is so high that I think it has the power to suppress it. Thank you very much."
Show me the sword, the shield, and the cane in my hand.
And then, a wizard who hasn't introduced himself comes in.
A man in light clothing with a tall cane.
"Hey, I've never heard of a magical swordsman."
"A magical swordsman is a swordsman who uses magic. You can use both magic while attacking with a sword or shield."
"I feel like I can't do magic with my sword, but I'm fighting with that weapon. Is that what this is about? I can't even use it while I'm running...."
Is that usually the case?
I don't know what it's like to feel so close because of the lack of control.
If you rank higher, will you be able to eliminate the area?
Although I thought it might be rude, I did an appraisal and found that the MP was close to 40. In addition, there are three attributes: hot water and wind, and there are also magical qualities. Even a fairly good wizard seems to have this much in common.
If you think about it, you can shoot 40 or 80 rock spears. All you have to do is hit 80 people on your own.
Compared to the warriors who have to get closer and hit the sword, I don't think the magic of just passing through the rays is that bad.
"Oops, you haven't introduced yourself yet. It's Magis, the B-rank Wizard. Magic speeds up a bit, and the recital takes just 2 seconds with a rock spear or a fireball. This time I will be the leader."
If you can use the wind and fire in Rank B, does Metal Lizard gather and defeat 20 of these people?
Is the recital time referring to the firing speed? Normally it was said that it was 3 seconds, and it was still excellent.
Other people will introduce themselves. The other wizard seemed to have rank D and the rest were all warriors.
There are big and small swords, but there are no spears. I don't think it is unused because I saw it at the blacksmith.
After introducing herself, Mr. Majis stood up. You haven't heard the plan yet, but you're leaving?
"Well, I've finished introducing myself, but I still don't understand how the frogs fight. Can you show me at the training ground?
"I don't mind...."
They'll decide when they see how I fight.
I don't want to stand out for nothing, but it's a problem if you fight with people who don't know what they're capable of. This is a necessary way to stand out.
The training ground was right near the guild. It is covered with walls that are not as tall as the outer walls, but look sturdy.
"In the meantime, let go of the magic twice in a row while swinging your sword as fast as you can. Enjoy magic with less consumption so that it doesn't resonate later."
That's what they said, so I activated Shotgun Magic while swinging my sword. It takes 5 seconds to use magic and 2 shots in a row.
"Is this what it looks like?
"Well, what was that... it looked like I cut two shots in about half a second without slowing down at all..."
"Yes, it looks like this. But it takes about 0.5 seconds to release the first bullet, so it's almost twice a second."
I knew it was fast. Well, I don't want to save and fight, and I don't want to hide.
"How about defensive and magical?
"At the start of the fight, we deploy defensive magic all over our bodies, and then, depending on the situation, we'll protect only the critical spots and replenish any defenses that are broken when we don't need an attack. Since I can use healing magic, I can manage a little injury. And the magic lasts about 10 or 20 minutes."
"Hmm... there were some amazing ones. It seems like an impossible amount of magic... and can you use attack magic with defensive magic? As a wizard, he seems to lose confidence, but he will definitely become a fighter. Can we go forward?
Avant-garde. Standing in front of you means you're scared, but you're expected. Let's answer that.
... I'm scared, so let's stick a lot of magic in my face armor. The headshots don't kill you in one blow.
Yes, I'm going forward.
"All right, we have a plan. The front line is with the frog....."
After all, I was in the vanguard with a C-ranked warrior, and after that, Mr. Majis was at the main party.
The two remaining D and E ranks were discovered in pre-reconnaissance and became sub-parties that solidified the back entrance from a distance of about 100 meters from the entrance.
As a concrete operation, I and the swordsman killed the sentry by surprise. At the same time, Mr. Majis accidentally struck the guard at the back entrance, and the sub-party blocked the back entrance by trying to light a fire. After Mr. Majis joined the main party, all the guards were beaten.
It is likely that the raid will be discovered at a faster stage, but it is likely that we will be able to take an enduring battle while blocking it.
By the way, there are no problems such as smoke. It has been used there since before, but it seems that such a problem has never occurred.
Considering the possibility of traps and so on, while the defensive magic is working well, I will slightly advance instead of scolding, and when it comes to fighting, the warriors will catch up.
When I was traveling while talking about this, I found myself near Ajito.
As far as the exact path is concerned, it seems that Mr. Majis went undercover with the Guild yesterday to find it.
Everyone's in position, as per the plan. It doesn't seem to have been noticed at this stage.
Since there was a signal, I produced four ordinary rock spears, each of which was sympathetic to the faces and center of gravity of the two sentinels.
The spear hits hard and the guard falls down without making a loud noise.
Magis ran in a hurry, as if it had worked.
It is obviously fast in the way of running. I wonder if they use magic.
Mr Majis arrived in no time. I'll take the lead.
Generate a large amount of rock spears that are slightly smaller than usual for the first round.
When the bandits come out, the first one's gonna turn into a beehive. It doesn't matter if the armor is of this amount and size. It just blows up where it didn't penetrate.
It's important to have strong magic when you have time. Weapon is the most powerful thing that can be sure to kill you the moment you encounter it.
Mark the bandits with information manipulation analysis just in case, and stock about 5 rock spears. If you involve ordinary people, it won't be a shame.
I thought Mr. Majis had an open eye, but now it's time.
About 30 seconds after the break-in, the first bandit appeared. About three of them were talking about something.
I gave you a scattered rock shell that I had prepared, and it looks like they all died with a strong blow to their bodies.
Prepare the next spear immediately and proceed. Looks like they're following us.
The cave was crooked, but this is the main road. I hardly ever meet this many people for the expected number of people.....
And the door is open. I can hear laughter from inside. Is this the main place?
Looks like the people in the back were following me with their breaths, and after 10 seconds, I magically destroyed the door and stormed it.
A warrior storms after I shoot magic so I don't get involved. Mr. Majis, back up.
There may be ordinary people, but it is basically a policy of extermination. I can't afford to be considerate.
A total of 800 piece-like rock shots with a diameter of about 15 cm per shot were prepared.
I felt like Mr. Majis had opened his eyes further behind, but he didn't say anything.
It's time. I threw 200 of the 800 spears at the door. Not exactly at the same time, but with a slight time difference.
The door blew up with a roar and a spear flew inside.
He jumped out and threw 200 rock spears at a wide angle to the left and right. A rock spear flies across the room.
The remaining 200 pieces were thrown in a frontal direction and the remaining two attacked.
I tried to hold my weapon and hit it, but it seemed strange. Quiet.
Looking around, however, the body of a bandit who struck about thirty people hard all over his body showed a twitching appearance.
The room is about the size of a high school classroom, but there is no sign of a living person. It seems to have been wiped out.
I applauded slightly, but I decided to keep going. We crushed the remaining three bandits without much turmoil, until we could see the fire.
Return to one end with Mr. Majis and rendezvous with the sub-party. No ordinary people were found.
Is that it? There was no chance of shooting shotguns or magic armor. Well, I've never moved on to armor.
