Helping with Adventurer Party Management

Episode 704: The End of the Raid

Are you hurt?

It's hard to tell with the black armor of the Sword Tooth Corps, but Kilik's entire body looks painted on blood.

"What, it's blood back. It's a hassle to avoid a small place."

"That being said, it would be bad if the weapon was poisoned. Take off your armor first."

"I didn't give them time to unplug their weapons. Why don't we do something about it?"

Ahead of what Kilik indicated with his jaw are the earned peasants who are stuck in a sudden situation.

Indeed, the responsibility for explaining it to them rests with the deputy.

"Okay. Sarah, drop Kilik's blood at the well for me. I got this place."

As he thus avoided the garden and turned towards the front door, a large number of peasants appealed to him orally.

I guess I'm upset about violent shakedowns. The words are ruptured and they don't convey what they want to say.

"Quiet! Explain what's going on!

Raising their right arm, the peasants took a step back and waited.

Even now, he realized that he was acting in a way that might be considered illegal: stuffing a deputy.

"I just crusaded a bandit who was lurking in the realm! Thank you for your cooperation!

Proclaiming aloud, he began to whisper excitedly with a howling expression as soon as possible.

"Bandit," "Whoa, hey," "That's the deputy." "Oh, that arrow flew all the way, that was awesome."

This is an explanatory scenario that has been considered in advance.

I have honestly stated that I can't understand the peasants when I go through the history of the struggle over the printing industry.

Besides, nobody's picking up the murderers anyway.

So they would have been bandits.

In that sense, I'm not lying.

They were not bandits, but they are buried as bandits.

"The bandits glanced at one and took over! They must have been in awe too. I want you to feel safe. And I'll pay you later for this wage. In the evening, come and get it from the mansion."

The lord's martial arts reassure the peasants as long as they do not come to them.

It is an easy story for them to accept that the deputies took over the bandits who were after their lives, which finally began to enrich them, and there was not a single one to complain about if they were to offer guarantees about today's wages.

In the meantime, when I told them to dissolve and call priests from the church, the peasants returned to the conversation with excitement to share the dramatic experience they had just experienced.

◇ ◇ ◇ ◇

Back at the back door, you wiped the blood off the whole way, waiting for Kirik to say something with a slightly better looking look.

"What do you say? Are you satisfied with the description of the example?"

"Oh, there was very little contact between the peasants and the inhabitants here. I wasn't even asked. So, how'd it go?

When asked, Kilik shook his head left and right silently.

"Right."

I could not have expected anything from the beginning about the survival of the farmers who occupied the house, but unfortunately it turned out to be the way I was concerned.

Regardless of about a few days, the hostages can only get in the way if they are to lurk for quite a few days.

To what extent will the people used by those on the clouds respect the lives of the peasants?

"Sorry."

I close my eyes for a few moments and regret that I have given my first death to the inhabitants as deputy.

This world is really too cheap for people's lives.

◇ ◇ ◇ ◇ ◇

"From now on,

It's a shame you made a sacrifice, but you can't stop.

Everyone is waiting for their instructions.

"Call the church priest and bury these people as bandits. We need to let the whole village know and get the funeral out for the family here as well. Have the cost here"

Arrange a funeral first. We cannot leave the body unattended, and the funeral must be carried out for the personal stability of the villagers.

Let the priests of the Church work hard in their main business.

"Then Kilik goes back to the mansion and hits me on the escort of Paperino and Gorgogo. It's unlikely, but there's a bunch of guys in a separate unit, and it doesn't mean they're not after the mansion."

This is followed by allowances for Gorgogo and the printing press escort. The first attack of the enemy was repelled, but not necessarily without a subsequent attack.

The basic policy is that if you strike a blow with an ambush, you will protect it in the mansion.

We cannot let Kilik, the greatest force in this territory, play.

"The deputy."

"Explore a few of their bodies and inside the mansion. We may have some leads on our client."

I can't expect much, but it's possible that the contact codes, documents, etc. remain unaddressed for this ambush to work. Before I bury them as bandits, I want to see the whole street.

"I'll stay, too!

I told Sarah to go back to the mansion, but she took the lead.

I try to persuade you to look at the color of those desperate eyes and give up.

"Okay. Keep an eye on the outside of the mansion. The rest of the enemy could strike."

"Okay!

When Sarah leans out and sees him standing on the lookout, his gaze matches that of Kirik, who flaunts his shoulder.

"Well done"

This raid would have been more serious had it not been for Kilik's operational command and sword arms.

Once again, the long-sleeved mercenary flickered back to the mansion with an example beastly grin.
