"Cain's research suggests the guys here don't have a long-term plan. I didn't even know if there was a follow-on force, but at least it seems to be an army aimed at General Ranadise's crusade"

Setuna was peeking out the window listening to Laxus. It was on the third floor of the building that there was a room for the Setunas, and the eyes accustomed to the darkness could be seen up to a certain distance. The night sky was closed by thick clouds, and neither the moonlight nor the brilliance of the stars lit the earth.

It is the heavy rain that pours down from heaven instead of the moonlight.

The rain that kept falling from the morning gained its momentum over time, to the point that it was no exaggeration when it came to heavy rainfall. Occasionally, a flash ran in the narrow space of the clouds, sounding so loud that thunderbolts rocked the heavens and the earth. Thunderstorms. Rain legs are still getting stronger.

A flash of thunderlight floated in the darkness of the night was a flock of armor that filled the road called Road Under My Eyes, a terrible sight of those armor reflecting lightning. Dozens, if not hundreds, of armed soldiers are sieging the quarters of the Setunas in a dozen dozen ways.

"... wow"

Though he tried to move aside, Setsuna was about to fall into a less than half-thought suspension of surprise. What a number. Fear takes blood away from Setuna's expression. The memory of confronting the army of six thousand in the first line had been burned behind Setuna's brain without fading, but the situation was different. The terror felt was completely different between the armies that bumped into each other from the front under the clear sky and the countless enemies who swerved in the darkness of the night.

Quietly, slowly, the appearance of the enemy army bringing its siege closer to completion tightens Setuna's consciousness by becoming a fearless fear of specialty.

"Seeing where they haven't attacked us yet, it sounds like you're going to tie us up. Try it over there, and you'll wonder who we are."

"So, what do we do?

"Naturally, we'll run. You can't get caught."

"But how...?

"Whatever."

Setuna looked at him half-eyed in words that did not get Laxus' guidelines. The eyes accustomed to the darkness capture the contours of Laxus in the shadows. The outline of a knight wearing armor and carrying a sword. It was brave and grand. Even its contours are reliable.

Setuna had to speak ironically, although she admitted that her anxiety had somewhat faded.

"Are you saying it's just a hit?

Most importantly, Laxus didn't even get along.

"Cain had me on my way to securing the carriage with Orin. You need your feet to escape."

"Just the two of you, are you a jerk?

"This is the one you should be worried about, right? He's free."

"Oh......"

Setuna was convinced of Laxus' dialogue. Lancaine's face passes behind her brain. Unchained, he visions a mad killer who rambles around with his instincts. It seems like there must be no such thing as freeing that man who wants to fight and destroy, but if Setsuna can't have his place, Setsuna is in trouble when he goes to Laxus.

I didn't want to act with Lancaine just thinking about it.

"For the moment, it's just you and me. Don't worry about it."

"Ha..."

Setuna also has to agree with Laxus's sighing words. Even wearing armor and a sword couldn't have felt comfortable with it alone.

The number of enemies is overwhelming, with the condition that Setuna should not rely on black spears. If a black spear user is exposed to infiltration within Logner, it's not something Gandhia can see. Regardless, the Gandhian army won't lose that easily either. Logner is not in a situation where he can get his hands on it either.

But sometimes just in case.

I heard about the absence of the Black Spear. It's not like some country won't attack Gandhia. Even the slightest possibility must be eliminated.

Setsuna holds the sword for it. Physical condition is adequate. My right leg injury is almost healed as well. So much so that there is no obstacle to the battle.

"But to this extent, I'm not even in a predicament. Our true destination is Myram, the king's capital. We should assume that neither force nor vigilance is the ratio here"

"You shouldn't make weak noises like this."

"Exactly."

Laxus peered out the window. A tremendous roar echoed with the thunder, and the quarters rocked violently. Maybe even lightning fell somewhere nearby.

"Well. It's about time."

"Yes?"

"You have to be conspicuous to make it easier for the two of you to act. Neewe, let me help you with your spear."

"To?"

In the unexpected words of Laxus, Setuna realized that she had become the missing face between me.

"If what I asked you is true, can you spit out the flames? All the flames I inhaled that night."

◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆

"Is Emerion and Roxalia safe?"

"Those two horses are so good that whoever sees them wants them. Instead of causing harm, you can look at it as being polite. Permission to kill us may be given."

Lancaine laughed. Blood is rolling. The consciousness of dawning enlarges and further sharpens every sensation in the body. The darkness of a painful night, the freezing windstorms and even the blinking thunderlights were welcome events for him.

Lancaine and Orin were outside the quarters. I was trying to hide in the walls on the north side of the quarters. In the midst of numerous pouring rain, neither umbrellas nor raincoats are worn, waiting for the time to come, shaking his body in the cold.

As he lurked his breath, he could hear the shoe sounds of soldiers filling the outside of the walls and the metal sounds of armor standing in the narrow space of the rain sounds. The soldiers, not spilling one stupidity, were solemnly trying to bring the siege of this quarters closer to the complete. I guess you're going to fill the street near the quarters with soldiers so you can't escape anywhere.

"Ha..."

"Hehe. It's a laugh at times like this. Have fun? Setouchi, living or dying. The value of your life is being tested."

The two horses owned by the Barghazar family should have been connected and stopped by a horse cabin north of the building, where a row was given as a lodge. The front carriage is also stored there, but I don't know how it actually is. The horse meant that Orin would almost certainly be there to take care of him until sundown.

Worst case scenario, the carriage might have to be left alone. If that happens, two horses will be divided into four, but with Emerion and Roxalia, it will be easy to put them on their backs about two adults. Although Orin may disagree.

Lancaine looked down at the score in her hand. It is a flashy hand axe decorated to mimic the head of a dragon on the axe. He called me Father of the Dragon. It was his summoning arm as was the Fire Dragon Daughter (Kariju), whose father had the power to preside over the earth. It could also be equated with small-scale disasters such as causing earthquakes and protruding rocks in the earth.

With this, we will also be able to fight hundreds of Zalwarn soldiers who will besiege the quarters. But that doesn't make sense. It's just a waste of your life. Lots of passives. The opponent is a commanding army. Besides, he is an elite unit led by the fierce general Grey-Barzelg who hears the sound. It's not like a burglar or an Imperial Demon.

It is at first that Lancaine may prevail. An earthquake attack by Earthdragon Father would be ideal for an ambush. But there was no way the situation would last forever.

Either way, it is pushed.

(Come on, what do we do?

That was settled. You don't have to sell fights to big army opponents here. You can run away. outside, such as surrender, and the struggle was also the pinnacle of stupidity. Running away is the best choice for the Lancaines right now.

I needed a leg to do that. A foot with just enough speed to run through the city of Recondahl and shake off the pursuit troops - a horse.

Unexpectedly, there was a loud noise behind the Lancaines. Smaller than the thunder that breaks heaven, the sound of destruction far greater than the footsteps of the soldiers. I don't know what was destroyed, but that was definitely a signal from the two of us left in the quarters.

Hot air stroked Lancaine's cheek trying to look back at the quarters. I heard soldiers twitching from the other side of the fence. Shortly after, the red lotus flame covered his vision. The deep red flames that erupted from inside the quarters instantly swallowed up three-story buildings. In an instant a giant firepillar stood, and the surroundings of the quarters became noisy. Whether the siege was disturbed or anger or curse sounded.

In the midst of heavy rain, the momentum of the flames only increases.

"This is..."

"Let's go."

Lancaine prompted Orin instantly as he threw a grin at the flame and burning quarters. I can imagine soldiers moving hastily outside the fence surrounding all sides of the quarters. I guess they were in quite a hurry. It seemed that he had decided to gather personnel at the main entrance on the south side of the quarters and forcibly break through the gate.

As far as that rush is concerned, the expectation that their purpose was to secure the Laxus didn't seem wrong, though.

As Lancaine grinned at the edge of her mouth, climbing the tree beside the fence, she attached it to the fence in such a way as to transmit the branches of her thick eyes. Looking out, the soldier's attention was focused on the Red Lotus quarters, and there were fewer soldiers on the north side.

Lancaine threw the edge of the rope he had prepared at Orin and pulled over, waiting for him to pass on the rope and climb up. Now was a good time with weaker surveillance on the north side. Run into the stable and take the horse. As far as the carriage was concerned, though it could only be considered according to the circumstances at that time.

"So... what are you going to do from here?

Against Orin, who had managed to reach the top of the wall, Lancaine just smiled. A mad, vibrant smile.

"Fly."

Lancaine leaped without worrying that he would be surprised when he turned his left arm to Orin's waist. A heat wave from behind makes his leap light. That's not my fault. A burning red lotus flame was revitalizing Lancaine's flesh. The horizon widened, and I saw everything in the darkness. Several of the soldiers on the street noticed this way. Lancaine rejoiced. If you're the elite in the elite, you have to be...

Lancaine immediately slammed his hand axe to the ground as he let Orin go at the same time as he landed. Much faster than the soldiers arrive.

"Xuan Layer Breath (Ground Howling)"

The secret power of the earth dragon father is freed, and the earth around a dozen meters trembles. Intense, uncut, intense.

I guess those soldiers didn't have the skill to exchange for a sudden earthquake. Many fell, and the formations, which were more imperfect than the original ones, collapsed to the point of no remnants. And as he found his escape route in the collapse of that formation, Lancaine glanced behind him. The enemy is not the only one who fell by the earthquake. Orin was also crawling on wet ground.

"Hey, what!?

"What happened!

"An armed summoner! You must be an armed summoner!

"Secure it! The men are one of them!

With the soldiers calling out to his mouth on his ass, Lancaine got Orin up. Earthquakes by the power of the earthly dragon father were already becoming faint. There was no time for the soldiers of Zalwarn to look at the surprise. We must hurry. If they rebuild the formation, that's what makes everything futile. Both the positive movement of the Laxus and the behavior of the Lancaines become blisters.

"Let's go."

"Yes, sir"

Lancaine was rushing out without waiting for Orin's reply. The sway subsides and the soldiers around them are trying to get back on their feet. but without a glance at them, Lancaine looked only at the escape route burned to her retina. Though I'm concerned about Orin's speed, I can't slow him down and lose his way.

"Wait. Yep. Yep!

One soldier jumped into Lancaine's sight along with enough screaming to even scratch out the rain. A man wearing an antique-like armor and a large spear. I'm not young from my voice.

Lancaine looked familiar in its armor, but didn't even pay particular attention. The inability to recall immediately must have meant that he was not an important person for Lancaine.

"How dare you conspire! Sin that has tarnished His Highness's will, worthy of death!

Words don't kill dogs.

Lancaine laughed coldly. He kept moving forward without any concern for the presence of a man. Near the quarters. I know the terrain well during the investigation. There is a horse hut of interest on the other side of the big street facing north of the quarters. There's nothing like distance.

"You!"

The shouts that conceived the man's anger were nothing but deafness. It was as if the puppy was crying properly and it was extremely unpleasant.

Lancaine peered into the eyes of a man who tended to hide in his helmet. The eyes of an angry old man are too transparent to see any impurities there. I guess he's the kind of man who stands only with loyalty to his master. That could be great in itself. But it must have been an incomprehensible way of life for Lancaine.

He looked into the man's eyes. Ask.

"Do you want to die?

"Hih...!

What did you see in Lancaine's eyes - the moment the man slipped through his hips and stopped moving, Lancaine passed, rubbing through the man's eyes. Increase your speed, worrying about the succeeding Orin. The ground rings subside and the soldiers around them rebuild their positions one after the other.

but it was already late, and Lancaine had reached the front of the stable. Thunderlight makes the horse hut float in the darkness. It is no exaggeration to say that that facility, which was taken over by the Zalwarne army, is occupied by military horses used by troops under the banner of General Balzerg. Two horses owned by the Barghazar family - Emerion and Roxalia - are probably misplaced among them.

Lancaine distorted his mouth to the number of soldiers approaching from the rear as he grasped Orin's safety with signs and footsteps. My heart sounds loud. Heavy rains, thunderstorms and melodies of military shoes strike him high. I stopped my leg. Turn back behind. I saw a tremendously shaped Orin in front of me, a dozen soldiers coming after me from behind.

He told Orin to hear him when he gently set his ground dragon father up.

"Go ahead."

"Yes!

Lancaine waved her hand axe without waiting for Orin's reply. Orin passes by the lancaine in surprise. The soldiers of Zalwarn rush through the raging rain storm. Elite in the Elite. Zalwarn's strongest troops were forged by the fierce general Gray-Barzelg.

My heart jumped.

He felt like thanking his destiny. Where I belonged to Zalwarn was unthinkable, such as engaging General Balzerg's troops.

Nevertheless, it is unacceptable to enjoy the struggle. Priority should be given to the fulfilment of the mandate, and to that end we must get out of this siege net.

King's life was all he was now.

Lancaine slammed Ground Dragon Father to the ground at his feet. There is no need to crush the road. I just should have passed on the power of Father Earth Dragon to the earth. Another power hidden by the earth dragon father.

He told me.

"Black Rock Dance (Black Rock)"

My father the dragon roared. The force created from the blade of the hand axe ripples and runs through the flooded ground. The earth swayed and the water splashed up. I heard the roar of enemy soldiers. With a slight tremor, the soldiers may no longer move. Lancaine was delighted.

That's the soldiers General Balzerg raised on hand salt. I guess they are trained to respond and open up immediately to any situation.

(Nice. Excellent. Lovely)

In praise of General Balzerg's gesture of work and the soldiers who are responding to it, Lancaine rose. Turn your back on the horde of enemy soldiers.

"Virtual authority! Him!"

"Whoa, whoa!

The virtues of the soldiers' prestige were dazzled by him. The countless hostilities that come from behind you are also comfortable at all times. But it will soon be over, too. Dreamy temp. Indulgence will not come true.

Again, there was an earthquake. Earlier, severe shaking and roaring was a sign that countless rocks would rise above the ground. That is the power of the land dragon father, whom Lancaine named Black Rock Dance (Black Rock).

The scream went up. One large and one small boulder erupting after another would have instantly knocked out a horde of enemy soldiers and rendered them powerless. I don't even have to look back and check. In just humans, we can't avoid the power to act extensively. In the unlikely event that something avoided the rock, it should be blocked by a group of rocks and not be able to approach it.

The surrounding streets would have changed dramatically, but you don't have to worry about it.

Lancain chased Orin towards the stable.

Immediately after.

"What can I say, I don't want to turn an armed summoner on the enemy."

"You."

A glance at the man standing forward did not stop Lancaine. The man setting up the Broad Sword seemed to have coolly narrowed his eyes to this reaction.

The man's name is Luig. A man who is part of the bandit group Copper Key and talks about all the crappy jokes and boring things.

He's been poking his sword cuts at us. A sharp sword chi strokes Lancaine's cheek. Lancaine laughed. Strong opponent. Enough to cross the blades...

"Let's go!

Luig's hanging was so comfortable in his earlobes.
