Move towards the border.

The mission of the military is to protect those who cannot abandon the village.

Neither does the Royal Army imitate attacking irresistible villagers. For this reason, I have informed the village beforehand that when the Royal Army arrives, it will not resist and will be allowed to pass bare.

Reports reached the commander where the closest village to Fort Skull could be seen.

"What!?

I hear voices that don't hide their surprises.

Neither the military nor the mercenaries walk without stopping.

"Okay."

He was a distressed commander when he heard the report, but he raised his voice as he moved to the side of the line.

"Listen!"

The voice echoes the line of thousands marching.

A wind magic was added to the commander's voice to ensure it reached everyone.

"The village ahead is being attacked by the Royal Army. He told the village not to rebel or anything, so it would probably be a unilateral pillage. Hurry, I want you to rush!

A twitch occurs.

Looting is acceptable because we are at war. However, even if looting is carried out in the village, there is not much to gain. Anyway, there are thousands of people working illegally in villages, which is totally not enough in villages with only about a hundred people.

Then you should keep the village as a base and a stepping stone to attacking the city. However, if the looting is too tragic, the villagers will have strong dissatisfaction. It will require moderate domination over time.

I don't think of it as a base for looting.

He then goes on an operation that buys time for the main unit to arrive by putting dozens of fast moving people ahead of him who can use the horse.

Because he is a few elite, the knight will be chosen.

"We're coming too."

Unsurprisingly, the 'Spider Mercenaries' named the rescue.

If we run at full speed, we might make it to the rescue of the village of something inferior to the horse.

We're going to wear them out before we get to the village.

"You idiot! A lot of people are suffering while you're saying that. You're going to shut up and watch that situation! I can't do this."

He has spoken words that think of the villagers being attacked.

But in fact, I just wanted to wave my sword against the Royal Army, which works illegally.

"But..."

I'm going to leave with a prior operation.

If you say that, it's a problem at a time when you're ahead of the village.

"General Urfrog"

"Ha."

"It is important that we proceed as we have done and leave the enemy forces. But no more imperial soldiers should imitate abandoning the people"

……

Commander made hazy by Rio's words.

Exactly, what is suffering most now is the village being attacked. If you're a soldier protecting the people, you can't leave them alone.

"You should have a little more fighting power. I'll play you the reward, so hurry up."

"That's it. I got to go!

The Pears-led "Earthspider Mercenaries" rush out first.

Trained, they run fast enough to follow horses despite wearing gear and head to the village. That's all the rewards were attractive. A promise from the Imperial Emperor won't get in the way either.

And the other mercenary regiments follow them.

The higher the feat, the higher the reward. If it is also the rescue of the villagers being attacked, we can expect a reward.

"You're not going after me?

But we weren't just rushing along.

'Cause you haven't heard from Illis.'

Sylvia answers Ira's questions.

The Royal Army is followed by Illis.

It's no surprise that if you take any suspicious action, you get a reading from Illis. But I haven't gotten any of that kind of reading.

Royal army marching towards the border.

"All right, we're moving up and down from here."

The Royal Army increases its speed.

I also have gear and have a hard time walking around. Increase speed, which means that's all you get tired of.

I was speeding up without thinking about what happened after the move.

I don't understand their purpose.

Eventually, we cross the border faster than we had planned. As a result of continuing to run without even stopping and resting in my own village, which was on the way, I soon see the first village in the empire.

I was watching from a place away from it.

Normally, the army would garrison through the talk to the village chief. This is an enemy country. I will need a location to be based.

"What?

Those who were in the village also noticed an approaching army.

I understood it was the Royal Army because I had heard from the Imperial Army beforehand.

It's pointless just to resist that the opponent is a village force in the country's army. Soldiers who were guarding the entrance to the village also make the knights who were in the lead bare.

A knight in luxurious armor comes out of the group when the village chief welcomes him in.

"What can I do for you…? If it's in the village, I'll give you everything. If you miss it, it'll help."

"Right. Give me everything."

"Yes......!

Village chief nervous about bees when he sees a bunch of knights.

There were times when the Royal Army came to the village after the Imperial Army, which was also defeated in the war three years ago. At that time, however, the village chief did not move ostensibly because the highest-ranking knight who had escaped to the village responded.

"There's only one thing we want"

Pull out the sword the knight was laying on his hips and wave it down.

Sprayed with blood, the village chief falls.

"Do it."

"Ha."

Villagers standing flat.

One knight after the other goes to slaughter.

"Aah!"

"Hey, what are you doing...!

Men and women, children and old people have nothing to do with it.

A pond is made of the blood of the slaughtered villagers, and the bodies pile up.

"Run!

About half of the villagers escaped where they had been slaughtered.

But it's already too late.

"Hey!?

The perimeter of the village is surrounded by the Royal Army. Not so big a village. It was easy to siege because we were bringing in numbers.

Nowhere to run anymore.

I just waved my sword down at the man who ran away and ran out.

The soldiers in the village who were guarding the entrance have been slaughtered.

"I can't watch anymore......!

This is wrong.

Same person, no matter how many enemy countries. You can't easily slaughter an irresistible villager and dump him.

"Stop it!"

There was a fence around the village, but when you jump over it gently, you poke your sword at it when you stand in front of a knight who slashed and killed the village chief.

"Make this stop now."

It is desirable to have it stopped voluntarily if you can.

"Sorry, I can't do that"

A man with brown hair, about forty years old, turns his sharp eyes towards me.

"I don't know who it is, but it's also convenient here. If you're on the side of the Empire, I won't forgive you."

"Yes..."

Apparently, he's not the kind of person you can tell.

Pull out the sword. But it's not always the sword I use.

"Well, I don't know who you are, but you have a great sword."

A sword that shines silver in the light of the sun.

"He's a suspicious guy with a weird mask on. If you mean to interfere with us, I will not forgive you."

"I'm not going to tolerate lawlessness"

Now I'm wearing a mask that hides a face whose mouth is not the only one covered.

Of course it's not a regular mask. The effect of 'perception inhibition' confusing the perception of those who see me has been granted.

From the outside of the mask I can't remember how many colors of hair I had, even if I had pale hair, and I don't know if I'm a man or a woman because I can't recognize my physique.

It's just a magic tool to hide who I am. Not enough to help fight.

It was originally set aside for when they found me while I was following you and ran away. I didn't expect to use that this way.

I'm not A-rank adventurer Iris right now.

Let's cut to others.

"Righteous Swordsman - Silver Winged Swordsman! Come up here."
