Golden Experience

The group of Krall ruins is located in the south of the Pare kingdom, which is the furthest from the King's capital.

Augusta was sent here because of his strength, for example.

Augusto, the first prince of the kingdom of Père, is the strongest figure in the country, except for the father king. It is only natural that we should be given a more demanding mandate.

Not only as a father, but also as an august brother, I don't believe in the strength of my brother Sylvester, but as a family, the youngest child is cute.

The investigation of places far and dangerous from the Wang capital, etc. should be carried out by a stronger self.

With that determination, Auguste is here to investigate the Krall ruins.

The investigation went well.

As it was in the ancient documents left in the castle, there was a strange little hut in the center of the ruins.

According to ancient documents, the hut is merely an entrance and an important part of the ruins is underground.

I was fortunate to discover this early.

The monsters lived in the ruins, saying that they were far from home, but nothing much could be done with the strength of the Augusts themselves or the flame lions brought in as family members.

It was embarrassing to say that the knights under my command would follow me from the country, but I was right to leave them behind. I'm not going to say that the knights are weak, but fighting with the Augusts and the Flame Lions will make them feel really tight.

"Grrrrrrrrrr......"

Yeah?

As usual, one of the flame lions, who had been entrusted with the perimeter vigilance, approached the August and roared as he struggled to open the door that was tightly closed.

"... intruder? Very rare. I thought the neighbors weren't interested in ruins or anything."

The beasts, the people, are not very interested in ruins and such.

It's lamentable, but I wouldn't have come to investigate the ruins or anything with an august if I hadn't known that a great force could be asleep there, and it's something I can't help.

Given that, it is unlikely that the intruder is a veterinarian, or a Pairé national.

Then, it looks like you'll be able to dissipate stress for a long time.

Of course, we need confirmation, but if the intruder wasn't the Beast Man, we'll try to get him to be the full playmate of the Flaming Lions.

They led us to the reported flame lion, seamed between ruins and trees, moved in hiding, and reached a location where we could identify the intruder in question.

The intruder in Augusto's eyes was little more than flashy when it came to intruders.

We've already had a massive battle with other flame lions, and you won't know from outside the ruins, but we know there's something quite far away.

"Is that an elf? Besides, you're on a Knights scale. Why are the Knights of the Elves and others in our country..."

If you become the Knights of the Elves, it's unlikely that you have it other than the Kingdom of Portley.

The Portree Kingdom and the Pairee Kingdom are not particularly close, but they were not bad. Sometimes there are multiple countries in between, and there are no contacts in the first place. If we don't have contact, we can't be bad friends.

At least, there should have been no reason to lead the army into invasion like this.

"... territory destinations... but it's an enclave for Portree, as long as it's sandwiched between the hills. I don't think it has any benefits.

Did Portley-- did Portley-- did Portley-- did Portley-- smooth everything out of the hills? No, if that's what's important, my father will be in touch. "

And the march path is problematic.

In order for Portley to march on the pair, the former Hills kingdom or the Oral kingdom needs to be longitudinal.

Earlier, I also heard about the defeat of King Portley in the seventh calamity. I hear it was the Hills invasion by the Portley III Knights that triggered it. It's hard to think about trampling the disastrous land of Hills in such circumstances, etc. If we do that, it will destroy every country this time.

Within countries now, the territory of the former Hills Kingdom had absolute inviolability. It's only natural. Who wants the old hills and the second dance of King Portley?

Then the Knights of Portleigh can only pass through the Oral Kingdom.

"Oral and my country should never have been a bad relationship. Sure, I've coldly acquainted these inert lords who have proposed to abandon the country and flee before, but the deal has continued since then, including in that city. I guess the lord admitted his inaction that he was trading, and that thing should be over... Besides, if the Knights of another country were to straighten the country out, it would not be possible to achieve it through the personal grievances of the Lord."

I have no idea.

I don't know, but the reality before us is that an armed group of elves is infiltrating Auguste's investigation zone.

"... it's troublesome. Let's think about it after we kill him. If you are an elf, you are definitely not a resident of our country. Then there's no problem killing him."

─ ─ Go, flame lions. And give me the neck of the herd's boss.

Under Augusto's decree, the crimson lions were attacked by the Knights of the Elves.

Upon confirmation, the Auguste returned to the centre of the ruins.

I don't have time to sell oil in places like this.

I still don't know how to open the door.

Perhaps Sylvester is struggling in the north, and here Auguste should have broken through this door first and told his brother.

"Consolidate and defend every squad! The only enemy attack attribute is Flames! If we consolidate our protection against the flames, we need not be overly afraid! Take it easy and deal with it!

Lloyd, deputy commander of the Third Knights of Portley, raised his voice.

The enemy is a powerful monster. I don't know about Youth or Arenas, and they're not very competitive with me right now.

But there are numbers here.

Indeed, the field has been blocked by obsolete stone columns, debris, etc., and has grown from further cracked cobblestones to weeds, shrubs, etc., and I have to say that it is unsuitable for deploying large armies.

However, it is also necessary to divide the team into predetermined squads, in small units, against one enemy, with minimal loss of combat power.

The opponent will be able to bring it into each other's corners, even if the collaboration is more difficult and not overwhelming.

"Gu! All of you! You!"

Guard the claws of the red lion that attacked you with a shield and stick your sword in your empty flank.

It was just avoided and did not cause much damage, but it could be slightly scratched. I can do this.

I hear that if the strength difference with the opponent is too wide, there are times when the sword sticks out into the defenseless skin and it can't pass damage at all. It would be better this time if it wasn't. This is what Justius told me during the journey.

At the time of the hearing, it was not a comfortable time to have a chat, but this was also said after the simulation, with this level of strength, after the words of.

"The opponent is strong! But it's not too strong! At least it's worse than Knight Eustace! Then how can I say that I can't win?

A powerful reply can be heard from there.

Good morale.

Everyone is following Lewis, who is not a regular commander. After the mission, it would be a waste of time to return command to Commander Fabio.

"Deputy Commander! But, you know! The beasts are the guide! Where, did you go...... right!

Thomas, the deputy commander's assistant, speaks up as he skilfully handles the lion's attack and collaborates with Lewis.

Sure, I don't see the Beasts now who should have guided me through the Knights of the Loyks to this group of ruins.

Those beast guides were hired by Zorlen, a nearby city.

Reliance on mercenaries was also something that we could never accept if we were a third knight who had just embarked on this journey.

But through this journey, Lewis, who was treated well by the elf mercenaries, and also by the knights of other countries, was now able to calmly choose to beg for the teaching, regardless of whether it was a mercenary or something better than ourselves.

However, this time it is said that it was written in the directive from my country.

When I asked for a tour of the neighborhood at the mercenary union, it was the five daughters who appeared in front of Lewis, who told the receptionist about the situation. Four or five people looked well from Lewis of other races, as if they were mercenaries. One was a bit modest, or perhaps the inn's sign daughter was just right, but somehow beautiful. Speaking of which, Justine also looked human and beautiful.

Anyway, the five Beast daughters just grabbed Lewis's request before they went to the union, saying they were free.

As a union, I naturally don't look good.

However, when she asked Lewis about the fee, she stuck her hand in her pocket and placed at the counter the amount that the union would have received as a commission, whether calculated instantly or not.

The union reception seemed to calculate for a while, but eventually withdrew without saying anything. I guess it was appropriate.

Being able to do that calculation at that rate is smart enough to work at a big chamber of commerce right now.

Why are you really a mercenary?

That's how the five Beast daughters led us to the Krall ruins.

The guides told me everything about the place and the name. I don't even know if it's true now. The map I received from above had a rough location, but not even a name.

"Where did he go? I don't know! Plus, show them around the ruins! The request to do has already been fulfilled! Don't complain!

I was quite accustomed to the red lion movement and managed to have conversations during the battle.

Even if we're stronger than ourselves on our own, it's not impossible to tell if an opponent's attack has less speed than that Justine.

The requests made to them by the guide did not include combat.

Of course not.

There's no way that the Knights can hire local guides to put combat acts in their requests.

"And! I haven't, I haven't paid!

That's right.

As it stands, they simply paid extra fees to the union to get us here without pay.

If anything happens here that would wipe out the Loyks, it would have made them work for free.

Even if it were a Wesen opponent, you couldn't possibly imitate it like that.

Whatever it takes, we must survive here and pay them.

"Everybody, listen up! Enemy momentum is slowing down! One more step!

And you will accomplish and triumph over the mission you received from the country, the artifact taking life that lies at the site of the kingdom of Pairee.

There's nothing like it. It's just an old ruin, and so many powerful demons live without causing any damage to the surrounding city.

Obviously unnatural.

We haven't decided yet that this ruin is where we want it, where the artifacts are, but at least there's got to be something.

There is something to protect for someone who manipulates lions.

If you have accomplished your mission well, you will soon return to your country. As long as the Hills kingdom cannot pass, the return journey will be the same.

Naturally we'll be stopping by the Huguel Cup on our way home, and then we'll see each other again.

At that time, keep your chest open and thank me again.

Thanks to you, I was able to accomplish my mission.
