To me, this is nothing more than a mere bandit exorcism that I've been through.
There were times when there were fewer knights, and there were times when they were ambushed during marches. They were information obtained by bandits even after they threatened their clients, and the battle was fought in complete condition to crush the Knights.
But I broke the whistle.
I think it's all the result of choosing the best formation, the way to fight with highly skilled soldiers.
Well, I mean, I'm proud to say that my command is so exceptional, genius, and awesome.
But I want to follow Master Van's lead now.
Amazing. Even if it is the Stradare's command of the Commander of the Regiment, I think I can better direct it.
"... No, you're not"
It is Master Van who has betrayed my predictions so many times before that I want to feel that command up close.
I noticed that, and there was a natural grin.
"Ha-ha-ha! Funny! Come on, what happens! It is a sight!
He climbed the stairs with a laugh, and saw the frightened faces of the villagers who erected the baristas, slamming the backs of both those who pulled their hips, and looking at the streets.
There's no shelter on the perimeter, it's a beautiful street. That villager noticed the bandits who showed up pretty far away, and I guess he raised his voice. I can be an excellent scout.
Anyway, it's a distance to my eyes that I can finally recognize a bunch of barbaric bandits running this way.
The savage bandits come running in a rough outfit with no sense of unity. Inside there was even a dressed man who opened his mouth and swung up his sword.
"... Mm, come running?
To the sight, I twisted my head. Then the voice of Master Van echoes from the rear.
"I don't know!?
Laughing at Master Van's usual calm voice, I honestly communicate the situation like a soldier.
"Number is fifty to one hundred! We're still a few hundred meters away! However, suspiciously, the Bandits are heading this way with all their strength! By the time you get there, you'll be buttering and rolling to the ground!
In response to that, Lady Van set aside for about a second or two and responded immediately.
"Okay -! I wonder if the bandits are after anything?
And I've said that.
As far as it goes. Sure, then we'll know all about that disease. I mean, I guess the Knights on patrol found it or did something.
I thought so, and as I stared, the villager next door said, "Ah!" He raised his voice.
"What?
When asked, the villagers pointed behind the bandits. You said you couldn't see clearly because of the slight increase in earthen smoke, but you figured something out?
"Tail! I see a tail!
"... tail?
I can only tilt my neck at too fragmented information, but I have to check it once now.
Seeing the rear of the bandits running in pieces but spread over about five rows.
I still don't see it well with earthen smoke. But I hear voices one after the other as if I have discovered something from other than the villagers next door.
What the hell is this village? Do you think they all have unusual eyes?
"That's Crustacean Dragon Armored Lizard!
"That's not one or two heads either!
To the cry, I smile.
Worst. For this village, the worst opponent has appeared.
Hurry and look back behind you, look at Master Van on the ground and scream.
"Master Van! Apparently, it's a bunch of Armored Lizards driving up bandits! Lined weapons will not work within normal sight of Armored Lizard!
With that said, Mr. Van's face seemed only cloudy with a heart.
That's right. In this village, the only magicians who can fight are Espada and the daughter of that adventurer. And the adventurers are out sourcing materials.
Even without a magician, the Knights with armor and heavy equipment can be crusaded by suppressing Armored Lizard movements and adding attacks such as slashing the abdomen, which is a weakness.
But I can't let the villagers do that, and they won't.
I, too, have the limit of wearing the heaviest gear and dealing with two heads on my own. The two of my men have one head or something?
In other words, it can only withstand heavy armored lizard thrusts, nails, and tail attacks.
"Everybody! Change the barista arrows! Put the iron spear on the side!
And I was instructed by Master Van.
In light of the slightest possibility, you mean at least increase the attack power of the barista?
Better than not doing it. But it will be in vain.
"... No, I decided to follow Master Van's instructions. It is heartless. (i) Soldiers only do exactly what they are told!
Head to one empty barista and replace the arrows with the villagers.
Because we assumed the enemy was a bandit, the arrow was a wooden spear made by that strange van. This would still be enough restraint for a normal person, but Armored Lizard would play easily.
I removed that light arrow and then took the iron arrow that was placed on my side. Heavy, but about the weight of a dagger. The power rises extraordinarily, but it does not reach the power of my swinging sword.
At the very least, if there are three more powerful swordsmen, no, five, is there no doubt about it?
If you put me together and the six of you fight while you get cover, even a herd of ten or twenty can repel...
I put an iron arrow on it, biting my teeth with my heart.
Pull the stick attached to the bow area and pull the string. The ringing noise, but the barista body is terribly sturdy. This is a really good build.
I don't think it's a substitute made by a very eight-year-old.
Softly moved, I set up a ready barista and shifted my gaze to the street.
The bandits are already in front of us.
"Ha, tau...! Shit, sprinkle...!
Fewer bandits are running constantly, even breathing, than they thought. Around forty?
And thanks to the approaching of the bandits, I saw the full extent of the armored lizards approaching behind them.
All of them are large. If you look from head to tail tip, it would be over eight meters. Without the moat, you must have reached this fence just by standing up.
That's roughly thirty to forty. A rare army.
There's nothing we can do to prevent this from happening in a medium-sized city.
"There are about forty eight-meter armored lizards! Speed falls every time one of the baits falls off, so it's no big deal!
"Bait is a bandit? Poor thing!
and unwittingly blew out at Master Van's misplaced remarks.
"Ha ha! Sorry! It was a silence!
As I laughed and apologized, I was seen with the eyes of the nearby villagers seeing something incredible.
With me, I think this is a dilemma.
But it's only when you're in a state of distress that you have to joke and laugh and pull out your shoulders. The extra force always pulls the leg.
"Well, it also means attracting and then shooting, and I haven't shot a bunch of bandits since they fell in the moat! Everybody, when you get in front of the moat, shoot.
"Yes!
"Okay!
Villagers follow Master Van's instructions with trembling.
What, don't worry.
If it hits your mouth, eyes, etc., it's a success. Buy me some time, and by the time that sorcerer's daughter comes back, I'll take Arb and Rowe to storm.
With Espada's support, we can also manage to create an environment where we can fight one at a time.
Without the death of any of you, Lord Van's people, this battle will be over.
"Let's do it! Everybody! Today is a lizard skewer!
I showed my teeth and laughed, inspiring the villagers.
