Half-elves Fall in Love

Opening fanfare

Fortunately, Catalina, who hasn't been here in a while, wasn't surrounded by as many demons as Mr. Deane or Sir Buster threatened.

That said, it could be the credit of the soldiers standing in Catalina.

On the road, in the meadow overlooked from the carriage in Maia's hands, there were many hordes of demons that would make Legion Command fuss if found inside Celesta.

"Maia, it's impossible for you to land directly in Catalina. Just make sure you're safe in front of the city, so slow down and fly as low as you can.... Angelos, Lyla, we're gonna jump."

Mr. Deane's orders echo in the carriage.

"Please."

"... n"

When I give him a nod to Chibi Maia's confirmed gaze, Maia goes into low-speed low-altitude flight.

That said, the height is 10 meters loose, and the speed is still faster than the carriage. Conditions that require you to be prepared just to jump in a lined infantry.

However, Angelos and Lyla, among the avant-garde members in particular, placed their trust in Mr. Deane, have no fear of the impact of the fall, even in that state.

"Angelos, I'm going!

"Ho, throw the weapon down properly"

Angelos in black armor, Lyla dressed in a light desert southern style costume, each jumps to the ground without feeling it.

And Boyd throws down a hammer for Lila. Looking down through the window, once the landed Lyra showed her outdoor bouncing power and caught it in the air.

"I'm going down, too. Andy takes the rest of the command."

Copy that.

Mr. Deane also opens the door, turning and falling as he twirls his horse spear in one hand.

Mr. Deane entrusted me with this. For now, I turn my gaze to Chibimaia while I look out the window and check my surroundings.

"Maia, check what's going on around you. How many demons are there?

"As far as I can see, a total of about a hundred. Thirteen, he said, to the extent that the Deanes are likely to engage normally.... Ah, lila m... lila killed one. Twelve more."

"If there's no danger to the carriage directly and if it doesn't, land it."

"Yeah."

From the window on the side of the carriage my vision is really narrow. It seems that Maia sees a hundred, but from me she just sees a flicker and a couple, a wolf demon.

"Can I come down, too? At this density, it's quicker to go hunting than I'll stay in the fight after the carriage gets off"

Almeida took a seat and said so, so she allowed it by hand signal.

Almeida jumps, too.

"You fly a lot, don't you, those people? Wouldn't you sprain or something?"

"Haha, if they tell me to fly, I'll fly too."

"I don't know. I can see myself putting on an absolute landing failure."

Naris and Tetes are lazy things. They're not sure about this kind of descent, so both Aurora and the carriage escort are confirmed.

"Well, if this is the case, Deane and the others will have enough."

"Right."

Irina and Naia look out from beside me and say.

Maia, what's the status of the sweep?

"Five more.... Spear Elves, Fast"

"Almeida so?

"Yeah. Angelos and all that hassle finding enemies, but spear elves are killing more and more"

Can Almeida use demon detection magic?... No, it's Almeida who seems to do that somehow appropriately on the wild side.

Things In terms of combat, Almeida has such a broken potential that even the Gold Arm is expected. He's not even a swordsman. He's incalculable by our standards.

"Looks like it's time to land?

"Yeah. Down?

"Be careful."

Maia lands in a wilderness of dead grass that has changed considerably since the last time she came, just because the season is in season.

The carriage rocks and informs you that it has landed.

"All right. Maia, guard the carriage. Don't let the demons attack you. I have a VIP."

"Yes."

At worst, we just have to make sure Irina doesn't get hurt.

"Get off in the order of Aurora, Naia and Tetesnaris. Depending on the safety check, the Gauntlet's two escort shifts and Aurora and Naia negotiate the opening of the door. And then wait in the car."

Copy that.

Copy that.

Respond to each and go down.

"What about Cairon?

"Sleeping."

As Boyd replied, Cairon slept well.

"He's a fat liver man..."

"Wow, I'm just scared that the carriage is flying and I'm about to put it back..."

Apple's. That's an exaggeration.

"I don't mind Cairon. 'Cause I get up when I suck."

"Is that okay?

Luna doesn't know. I probably don't even know Boyd.

But I know the Horny Brothers.

"That's what Cairon is all about. Don't think deeply."

"Yes, yes."

"Ten Chiefs of Cairon are only capable people when they need to be."

Luna, Irina, and Apple hang their necks over explanations that I, Gort, and Rants talk about, I'm not sure.

But that's really what it is.

"Smythson Ten Chiefs! They're opening the door!

Naris sticks his neck in the carriage and reports.

I order Chibi Maia.

"Go ahead with the carriage in the gate! As soon as the entry is complete, to the human body!

"Yeah."

There is a noise of gobbling and wheels turning.

Thus we entered Catalina for the first time in months.

Catalina is made up of laminated structures by the town itself. The exterior is a city like Aritsuka.

"Welcome to Catalina. We've been waiting for the Blue Dragon now or now."

The defense captain and mayor will come before us and say hello.

It's always like a battlefield when it's a town on the northernmost line, so it's customary for the mayor of a town for military personnel to serve concurrently.

"In Irina, the head of the white clan of one of the nine clans, the forest of the northern elves. Our purpose is neither to protect the town nor to rescue the country, but let's help the dragon with the threat of an inn."

"As much as I appreciate it"

Irina greeted us, not Mr. Deane, because she was the most appropriate person to explain our basic attitude, which was complex in force.

"Rennest's foresight of stargazing suggests that the invasion will begin in a day or two. As far as the last scouts are concerned, I am relieved that there are no rock demons yet."

"Oh... that would be a big deal if a rocky demon came to this town"

Mr. Deane nods.

The more you say, the more the city does crush the bottom tier even by rock dolls, the more essential it is to collapse the chain.

"As I said. It's unparalleled in its attack on the beast type."

"Hmm?"

"The thick protective wall at the bottom prevents storming, raising and dropping rocks and other throws in the upper hierarchy with overhangs. Without the help of a gauntlet, you can destroy the beast type with this simple repetition."

"I see. … a whispering tactical model city"

"Yes."

With the walls perpendicular, dropping rocks will damage the building. The Catapult cannot attack the most recent demon.

Is that why it's shaped like an ant tsuka?

"Prior to the approaching of the demons of the rock system, we had fought the beast type while successfully annihilating it with the offensive power of this urban structure, but we have also encountered considerable dangers in the past. Please, I don't know."

"Um, I'll take care of it."

Irina nods confidently.

... Isn't it still a guy named Yearkung who can take that attitude even though Irina doesn't do anything about it?

We were assigned two large rooms.

I really just want to allocate a lot more space, but the mayor seemed distressed.

but the rocks occasionally reflux according to gravity near the transport route of the throw, so they can't even allocate it out of danger, and the empty rooms are mostly full of supplies for the castle, so they're not very accommodating.

But we were originally prepared and prepared for the expedition, the worst of Nojuku, so that's fine.

Well, that's exactly what happens when you assign a room to a man or a woman, so I'm afraid there's nowhere to hide and you're not going to be able to do anything horny.

"I remember coming here."

Sighs as Naris unloads troop supplies.

"What?"

I helped with that (I didn't even have to help because everyone in the men's room was getting used to traveling together & traveling) attitude listening to Naris.

"I've been framed for being a swordsman here."

"Oh... you said you had a spectacular brutal fight with a demon in a hammer?

"Whether it was spectacular or not, we hammered each other. No, the archers on my side. Even though I had to let them get away with it, I always had to feel complicated thinking I might still be able to relax in the archers without that."

"... is bowmen that easy?

I hear Celesta's bowmen are tough with that though. It seems that the training you do to retain your skill is tighter than assault infantry when you poorly use your torso.

"It's easy. I don't like to beat each other up. I'm scared."

"He said he was scared. He said he was afraid of the Red Arm."

"You think it's a red arm. I'm scared of being scared. If it's a human opponent, he's still got his mouth open in front of him with nothing but demonic intent to kill and madness, and he's got a hi-ho weakness rounded out. Anyone who can think of a babe or something is broken. Absolutely. If you don't, you're gonna die."

Good evening, and Naris slaps the crate and sues.

Tetes smiles behind him, Almeida smiles and looks.

"Haha. Then you have to cut off your jaw or something."

"Whether you strip your fangs or not, demons don't turn people to death in one blow. I guess the only reason they're swallowed up by their killings is because they're not mentally trained enough."

Tetes, who says something smiling and super violent, and Almeida, who talks about spirituality.

Looking back at the two of them, Naris eats.

"I didn't come into the Lenfangus Army assuming I didn't do anything like that! Damn it, I still hate myself for being caught in the pay gap!

"... they're so different salaries"

"Yeah. There's a pay gap between the Red Arm and the average archer that's 2.5 times greater. Plus, special assignments like this one are multiplier dons."

"... I mean, nothing. It's nobody's fault you just can't get back into poverty. What?

"Don't call me poor! Even I was a labyrinth adventurer. If only I didn't have the debt."

"Something's wrong with the deposition. It seems the Knight Chief Sharon has it now, and he can't discharge it until it's paid off."

"... well, hang in there"

I'm sorry, but I can't help it.

I'm poor, too.

... Let's not just be in debt. There's no such thing as a weird charisma as my father.

Evening.

While the stars glowed the most, there was Naia looking out into the northern wilderness from the rooftops of Catalina.

"Naia."

"... Mr. Smythson"

On the roof of Catalina, dozens of meters above the ground, a good breeze blows, unstoppable by trees and terrain. Naia's hat is about to be skipped, we both rush to reach for that little head, and we both laugh at the ridiculousness of the action.

"It's a beautiful sunset. It doesn't seem like a season to fight hundreds of thousands of demons."

"Right.... Naia, are you worried about Carlwin?

"... looking over there, he looked a little spicy."

North.

The endless wilderness of demons.

"I'd be lying if I told you I wasn't worried. Well, there are four more brave men without me.... If it were decided that I was dead, the next generation of brave men would be chosen immediately. I think you'll look pretty bitter when you get home at that time. … but if the sword of the brave is safe, they will be glad."

"Of the brave...... sword? Is that sword something special?

Naia has a rigid sword on her hips that doesn't look good on that thin arm.

Well, when I say it doesn't look good on my slender arms, Aurora and Angelos can also have the power to joke about it with their slender arms, but I still don't use very huge gains to figure out how to balance the weight with my body.

Besides, the life of a utility sword is not that long. Even if it is a true silver sword forged by a celebrity artisan in the King's City of Trot, it should last a couple of years if you used it to fight properly.

I don't think Naia's sword is worn with decorations, and I don't think it's anything more pleasing than the return of a brave man, though the righteous sword he used.

"This sword is, well... special when it comes to special. Because it is a testament to the bravery of the Glance Rider."

Naia gently pressed the sword pattern, and held the hat, showing a self-derisive laugh at the mouth alone.

"... Bring back hope, huh? Great...... the truth is I want to give this sword and hat to the next person but maybe I want to go home until I bother you all so much"

"You can't lose it. What was entrusted to me, I can't lose it..."

The sun sets.

And in the darkness the eyes of demons shine.

And at the same time as the sun goes down, the howl of Ohn, thought to belong to Hardwolf, persists.

Nearby meadows, distant wilderness. In the mountains, in the valley, in the woods.

Immediately, it began to resonate.

From the next to the next, a howl that seems to have been emitted by another hard-wolf can be heard from all directions.

Too many audio sources, I was freaked out.

"... I see. It's amazing..."

Naia seems to have felt a little wary, too.

And then that turns into a disappointing roar, and the audio sources start to increase around Catalina so that it kills.

The Great Invasion has begun.
