Golden Experience

At dawn of the night, when I looked again at the situation in the city that had been damaged by the monster raid, it was terrible.

Thirty percent of the city is turned into rubble, which is natural.

The returning pigeon was marked with an order from Lord Liliene.

Eustys was on his way to the eastern part of the city with an arena to help him rebuild quickly.

The demons who attacked the city emerged from the northeast and fled to the west.

It is unclear why we are not fleeing in the direction we came, but the problem is more with the northeast than that.

According to the story of the people of the city, it was also in the northeast direction that the Knights of the Elves headed.

I don't know where they're going, but if they're unlucky, they might have been bowling together.

"... those guys, I wonder if they're okay"

"If you weren't okay, you'd be lispawned around there by now, and you wouldn't have to worry about it, would you?

"No, I'm not worried. This mission is over."

It was on the east side of the city that was damaged this time.

The youths came down the street from the southern Oral. To the south of Zorlen lies the realm of monsters facing the northernmost city of Oral Plantan. The streets are laid so as to avoid the area to a large west.

The Knights of Portley camped without getting into the city, so if they were to respawn, it would be in the southwest of the city. This time, it is a part that has not been damaged.

"If you're saying it's over, why don't you just forget about it? Now it's time to rebuild the city. Look, some of you have been working before sunrise."

Even though it is certainly early in the morning, there are residents who are already sweating and working tirelessly.

Unlike youth, who are in a helpful mood, they have lived and will continue to live in this city. Maybe she didn't have time to sleep.

Judith, reflecting, immediately offered to replace their work.

I'll thank them and give them a potion to take a break from. I've heard that NPCs don't like fatigue recovery potions, so it's just pure health restoration.

This was prepared on my stomach, apart from supplies. Instead, should it be the remnants of the mercenary age, which are no longer used because they have become knights and are also paid potions?

It's a long time ago, and some medicines are unsafe to use if they ignore the expiration date, but it would be fine if they were in the inventory. I haven't heard much about the expiration date of the potion before.

By the way, I put on my armor today.

If it's about a little hard work, I have enough talent to do it with or without armor, and I don't know if it's true, but when I get raided again, this time it's to protect the city.

With such an apprenticeship of Justine, the arena and armor are properly worn, and the sword are also peppered.

I'm sure she had some thoughts about yesterday's first match.

But not long after the youth started working, the southwestern part of the city became noisy.

Of course, I didn't hear the noise directly.

People came running from the southwest.

It is also a very familiar person to Youth.

"Holy shit, you were here, Knight Justine......!

"You, uh, deputy captain?

Why is he here on his next assignment?

Besides, I wonder what happened to the other members.

I wonder if all the Knights will be able to get into the city and wait outside again.

If your hands are empty, you may want to ask them to help you rebuild.

For that reason, the people of the city would also tolerate a large number of elves entering the city. It should be better than demons getting in.

"I asked the inn if it was here... And I'm not a deputy captain, I'm a deputy captain. His name is Loyk. I should have named you, but you don't remember...?

No, I thought we were going back to the country! It's been two days, why are you still here!

Such a place is rude.

Sure, it only looks like a pile of rubble now, but it was a decent city until yesterday.

And now, Youth is helping to get it back as fast as a day.

"Hey, you, how do you say..."

"It's not about the way you say it!

Perhaps a mighty monster will attack here soon! Get out of here! That's right, even you can't win!

The information is slow.

The monster attacked me yesterday and left already.

Sure, they weren't easy opponents for even Justine to beat, but did they still fight that demon too, knowing that even then?

But if so, the timing is not right.

If he came running from the southwest, the deputy captain, no. Deputy Lloyd must have rispawned in one camp someday, and if so, it would mean that he did his assignment almost an entire day after that, without even taking a break, and died and rispawned.

Considering that a group of monsters raided the city yesterday, it is strange in time.

"... wait. What kind of monster is that? Mixed units like goblins and skeletons?

The kind of monsters are now! No, as long as it weighs the strength.

Demons are things we've never seen before. I wouldn't even call it a castle, but it's a giant tiger with a taller head than a mansion that can be called a mansion. I didn't even see the face or the overall shape because I encountered it where the outlook was poor, but from the pattern of my body, I'm sure it's a tiger.

He freezes our movements with a single bark and has enough strength to easily tear off knight's armor with one of his front legs.

Also, the movement speed is fast even if it looks dull because of the size.

And this is uncertain information, but perhaps it speaks a person's language. Or maybe there's a monster right next to him who solves the mantra. I heard shouting from somewhere during the fight. "

For the first time, I noticed that Lewis's armor was cut sideways with a few lines, as if it had been cut with something sharp. I thought that was the design because it was too ordinary.

I don't see salivation or bulging, as is often the case with wounds attached to armor by monsters. In other words, the blade was cut at a considerable speed with a difference in hardness.

If this is a mark from a monster's claw, as Lewis said, it is a fairly large monster from the line spacing, and it is a monster with very high combat power.

At least such a large monster was not seen during the raid the day before yesterday. All of those monsters were somewhat larger than human size.

"You mean apart from yesterday's guy...!?

"Yesterday...? I mean, I've been wondering for a while, what is this misery?

"By now!? Where are you looking at me? Aren't you only seeing the captain's face?

"Mr. Arena!

I guess his first "place like this" didn't mean this pile of rubble, but the kind of city with dangerous demons right on its side.

"No way already!? No, given the timing of my resurrection, it should just take a little while to say that demon is still here.

Anyway, it's dangerous here. You better get back to your country right away. "

That's not how it works.

I couldn't protect this city enough, I'm not going to carry it in, but as someone who still sees the tragedy, I want to do everything I can to help rebuild it.

Besides...

"Master Reiliene has instructed us to wait in this city, and we can't leave, can we?"

If the monsters attack this city again, it's time to protect them.

"But!"

"What are you going to do? You're done with the mission?

"That's right... Oh, yeah. You're a knight.

As soon as that monster leaves the ruins, we will return to secure our destination. I won't run away.

If so, can I advise you to escape? "

"Ruins? Destinations were ruins."

Lewis looks bad.

I'm not going to say anything because I found out.

No, if Liliene asks me, I might report it.

Anyway, if that's the case, we can't ask them to help us rebuild or protect the city from that monster.

"If the story is true, we need to recommend evacuation first.

I wonder if knights from other countries can do that. Is this city a lord or something?

The fact that the Loiks headed northeast encountered could make this neighborhood a battlefield again if demons were to come.

It may be necessary to ask the residents working for reconstruction to flee to the west or, at worst, abandon the city and alienate it somewhere.

Such a thing is no more than a knight of another country. You should consult with the responsible person in the city, such as the lord.

Speaking of knights, I don't know if you'll listen to strangers, but it's better than doing nothing.

"Didn't you notice? That's the sweaty old man the captain was talking to."

Say it! I don't know when you gave me that potion! I'm not talking about an old man! I can hear you! "

It sounds like something blowing out behind my back.

Looking back, that sweaty old man was holding the potion bottle in one hand.

It seems that he came close because he was concerned about our story.

"Ahhh! Well, my arena is rude! Excuse me!"

"... no, what I'm saying is more responsive to the captain's words than to mine."

"My...? Oh, it's okay. If it's a potion, it's in the vault, so it hasn't deteriorated over time. Maybe."

I calmed down my lord and discussed the future.

The lord immediately evacuated the nearby inhabitants, and the guards ran to touch the city.

It's about the likelihood that monsters will attack again and that we may have to abandon the city and flee at worst.

Youth promised to fight again to protect the city, and Arena followed suit.

This time, I wanted to see if I could protect it, but I didn't know if I could win. I didn't want to say anything too casual.

The Loyks have a mandate from the state, so everyone doesn't participate in the defense of the city.

Just because you split up the troops and send some people around here, it didn't mean you wouldn't help me at all. As for the defense squad, they report that the country needed a diversion unit, so I'll keep my mouth shut if anything happens to Youth.

Some of the city's leading figures assumed that Lewis's presence had triggered the monster's attack, but it would be unnatural for Lewis not to know about yesterday's attack, and I don't think he would be able to do that.

It is unclear about the monster that will come after this, but no one in the city knew about such a monster.

Even if such a mighty demon has been around for a long time, and the Loics woke it up, I can't say enough that it's all the responsibility of the Loics.

Loyk and the others could come, but someone would have done it someday.

"─ ─ I'm sorry, but it's time for me to return to the ruins.

There must still be some surviving knights out there, and we need to see how they're doing and break into the ruins again.

Those who are now resurrecting to the southwest of the city can use it as they please. I've already shared the information. "

At the end of the discussion, Lewis said so and stood up.

"I'm sorry I had to turn down the air."

If they were grateful to Justine, they might not have been able to look away if she had stayed in the city and declared herself to defend it.

"No, I don't mind.

... I do think I was able to learn something important as a knight on this assignment, but on the other hand, the assignment itself was difficult to say that I was proud of as a knight. Unlike countries and races, it is our will to help people in these parts.

And I'm sure we need a diversion. I don't know if that monster will come out of the ruins, but if it does, we just need a few people to attract it, and that will eventually lead to the preservation of the city. "

If you don't come out of the ruins, you'll end up worried, but you can't keep it forever.

All of a sudden, this city may have had to give up.

"Well, be careful"

"You too ─ ─, what is it?

From somewhere, I feel like I can hear it sounding like a ground.

"─ This sound...! Not good! Faster than I imagined! You've already wiped it all out!

Loik screams and looks northeast.

Happy or unhappy, the eastern part of the city, transformed into a rubble wilderness, has a good view.

After a while, far away, I can see something like earthsmoke lit up in the morning sun.

Eustys doesn't have 'Enhanced Vision', but the Arena next door has a steep face. She certainly had it.

"Lord which! The evacuation of the inhabitants!

"No, not yet. I haven't received a report that it's done. All those who were working on the east side are pulling back....."

Soil and smoke are getting bigger and bigger.

I see. Sure, that's great speed.

"For now, I'll buy you some time!

"I'm going to call my resurrected squad!

Lewis ran southwest.

Until he brings his troops back, Justine and Arena have to do something about it here.
