"Oh, village chief......!?

"What's up, all of a sudden?

One of the villagers rushed in when I was working on the paperwork at home.

No, it's noisy outside.

Maybe something even happened in an emergency.

"Tell me more."

"That's..."

The stories I could hear from the hasty villagers were not very believable.

"I'll be right there"

In the centre of the village was a square, where dozens of strangers sat on the ground.

They're from Dayton Village.

I noticed because some of them found out.

The villages of Dayton and Sage were neighbors, so we had quite a relationship.

"What happened?

……

The people of Dayton Village do not answer.

"Village Chief!?

I can hear you calling from the south and east gates with a voice resembling a scream.

I hear other knocking noises.

"Answer me!"

Grab up and interrogate Lew, who was squatting.

Lew, the village chief, was obliged to answer.

"... I don't know. All of a sudden, they surrounded the village. When I realized the village was being attacked and everyone was eaten..."

"Chip, it's useless."

Throw away the lew you were grabbing up.

"This is why I don't trust people who have no power but are young enough to be village chiefs"

Lew is as depressed as the rest of the villagers.

I was angry as the same village chief to be behaved like that because I would otherwise be in a position to give instructions to the villagers.

"Is our defense okay?

"Yes. Fortunately, we're changing the walls into robust objects in the wake of the incident a few years ago. No problem."

"Right."

The outer circumference of the village of Sage was surrounded by walls with hardened soil.

Cases from a few years ago - more than a thousand demons have emerged from the woods near the village of Dayton. He had stepped up his defenses so that he could withstand being attacked because of such incidents too close.

Even in the wake of demonic advances, it's bearable so far.

"Is Lyer here?

"What?

"You tell the Mort Village people about this, too. Then go all the way to Alistair and ask Lord and Adventurer Alliance for help. There is no need to thread gold. The survival of the village is at stake."

"Okay!

He was the fastest legged young man in the village of Sage, known as Ryya.

For that reason, he was chosen as the person to call for help.

But let me tell you from my knowledge of the consequences, such rescue has not reached the village of Mort or Alistair. Perhaps he was eaten by demons without exchanging anything and died.

"We will continue to endure this."

'Yes!'

Villagers work together under the direction of the village chief.

Lew looked at such a sight with an itch in his teeth. There was no trust from the villagers because the history of becoming village chief is history. Still came desperate on my own. The old men in the village chose to sacrifice themselves.

If I had the same control as the village chief in Sage Village myself......

The hastily proceeded cage castle work was one paragraph before the sun set.

"After that, we'll just wait for the rescue."

"Right."

The village of Sage was surrounded by relief.

The demons have also rested their hands to see if they got tired from the attack while the sun was out.

"Okay. I know it's okay, but there's no reason not to keep an eye on him. Leave only a minimum number of people, and the rest will rest."

That's when I heard a tall voice from the sky.

Everyone looks up at the sky.

But before I could identify my opponent, I went down to the center of the village.

"Eagle and Horse Demon - Hippogriff!?

Lew also sees Hippogriff when I repel the demon that came out of the woods.

Down in the centre of the village is undoubtedly the hippogriff, with three fierce sharp gazes at the villagers.

Even if we encircle the village with strong walls, we can't prevent it if it can be attacked from the sky.

"Ah, ah..."

A man who had a pine light that was burning to brighten the village drops the pine light out of fear.

The flame explodes with the shock when it falls.

The sound caught the attention of the hippogriffs.

"Hino...!

Three hippoglyphs swarming simultaneously to a man.

The man was eaten little by little with a small groan.

Meanwhile, the villagers who were around could only watch. I couldn't take much action on things.

And it was too late when I regained my cool enough to take action.

Three hippogriffs after a meal look to the villagers.

"Run!

He looked like a snort from there.

The fence that was supposed to protect me from the demons surrounding the village has turned into a cage for trapping me in the same place as Hippogriff.

"Hey, just open it!

"Don't be impotent!

The gate that was sturdy closed is not easy to open.

When I managed to escape from the village, Goblin and Forest Wolf waited ahead.

"Ku, damn..."

"Help me!

The people of the screaming village of Sage.

I was already in a situation where I had to abandon the village and run away.

"This is why I've been running all the way to Alistair"

"Right."

Elliot, who had finished listening, had put his arms together and thought.

"What happened to the village of Mort?

The mayor of the village of Mort shook his head.

There is no point in caging an enemy to the extent of its power in the village beyond having a fierce, flying demon like a hippogriff.

The survival of the villages of Dayton and Sage arrived, and when I heard the circumstances, I had no choice but to decide to abandon the village.

"Captain"

"Oh, have you finished counting?"

"Yes, the tally of those who have fled all the way to Alistair is over. There are 23 survivors in Dayton, 38 in Sage and 78 in Mort."

It was reported by a knight who was in the care of the people who had fled.

The original number was 107 in Dayton, 133 in Sage and 129 in Mort.

Only about 30% of humans could survive.

"What do I do now..."

"What a mess the village is."

"Even the field work was finally calming down..."

The village chiefs are depressed.

I've heard what you need to hear, so you should let them grow up now.

"Get out of my way."

One adventurer came into the conference room.

"Mr. Gansas."

It was Mr. Gansas, one of the B-rank adventurers based in Alistair, who came.

"I kept enough adventurers assembled in front of the gate for now. Is this it, Rooty?

"Yes, no problem. You will deal with the demons that will come to Alistair as a guerrilla."

"Whoa. I don't mind that. I heard a little bit from the villagers who had fled, but it seems to be comparable to a bunch of demons that someone else had cleaned up a few years ago by themselves."

Niya, Mr. Gansas with a smile like that.

I cleaned up all the demons by myself when the forest near Dayton Village flooded before. Naturally, a huge amount of demonic material became mine. Some were jealous without thinking that it might have been possible for them.

"This time we'll make some money too."

"I don't mind that."

I only need money for the labyrinth.

However, I do not intend to make money until I have created unwanted sex with the locals. I'll give it to you this time.

"Right. I'd like you to come out to your party..."

If the six of us split up, we'll kill him instantly.

If I could just take the time, I'd have enough alone.

If we share them all, we'll be done in no time.

"Alistair's defense will be done here. I want you, adventurers, to destroy even one demon that you're trying to get close to."

I'll take care of it.

An urgent request has begun.
