- Anero point of view

My name is Anello. He is the best warrior of the Golden Scale clan that Bercis is proud of and the man allowed to name the brave. There are many different races on this continent, but among them, we Lizardman are raw warriors who are best at the White Soldier War. The body covered in hard scales starts back lightly with most attacks, and the tail can be used in addition to both hands and feet, so you can overwhelm others even with a lot of trouble. Even in the water, we were able to operate for a long time, and almost all of the battlefields we did not like were close to nothing. Being such a born thing, I had a long time of complacency that I was the best warrior on this continent.

In fact, I tried to work with many other races that call themselves fierce men, and now they were able to win without having to struggle. The brave men of other countries were high that this was no big deal, and I was soon to be able to pinpoint reality. Dinner party at the Leble Empire invited. The mighty men I've never met there. Lord Barbaros showed his moves to change his own body and increase his combat abilities with intense exasperation. And such was the overwhelming strength of Lord Lapis, with whom he had no hands or feet. The experience of witnessing that battle turned me into a cut to change my consciousness.

Abandoning his complacency, he also bowed his head and asked the people who were halfway down to teach him, and I went back to working myself out. Doing so allowed me to acquire moves that I had never thought of before, and I think I could become stronger once or twice. But a good martial artist couldn't possibly be found that way, and I was haunted by the current situation, where there were gradually fewer opponents to match. The moves I learned, the body I worked out, the opponents I really deserved were essential to try them out. That's when an invitation to train came from an unexpected place to me looking for an affordable opponent, both domestic and international. An invitation from Bandit, the valiant of Barrios.

I knew him at a dinner party in the Rebble Empire, and he was allowed to talk to me quite intimately over a short period of time, and the exchange of recent developments continued because I feel quite comfortable with you, Jen. He, like me, said he had recently stretched strenuously, so he asked me out to break the shell here.

Of course I jumped to the story without one or two. I've never fought him before, but even though there's no way a human being called a brave man is weak, I thought he'd be a practicing opponent without any more. And as you'd expect, he had mutual strength with me. Me and him have the same number of squires, and I think changing the combination has acquired the ad hoc ability to deal with every situation. If you thought it was time for one of the actual battles here, what a request from Lord Rubias to give you a chance to fight the Demons. I had no objection to my reply if he told me that he could fulfill his original duty of helping the people of the Kingdom of Strom, who are under threat from the Demonic Nation, and that he would have the opportunity to fight the strong.

"Sorry to keep you waiting. Then you will travel by my flying magic to Strom Kingdom, so be patient for a while."

Lord Lapis, whom we haven't seen in a long time, showed up to us with one stranger elf. If you ask me, I will say that the elf is the brave man of Zerbis and, to my surprise, a spiritual user who puts Behemoth under his control. I see, if she looks young but is a long-lived species, she is impressed with whether she will even use Behemoth, the corner of the Four Spirits... so far, she doesn't have the strength to summon Behemoth.

"My magic will make you disappear as soon as you call. But little by little, it's getting longer to maintain, and I'm going to use it completely."

Apparently, it's going to be hard to count to the force so far. But if she can use Behemoth, she'll be one of the best spiritual users in the world.

Thanks to the magic of Lord Lapis and Lord Dieria, we were able to travel to the King's Capital of the Kingdom of Bordeaux in just two days. The flying magic I experience for the first time is a wonderful word, and it gave me unspeakable emotion and excitement. It's an emotional thought that flying creatures usually see this view from time to time, looking at the under-eye view flowing at a tremendous rate.

This is not the first time I have entered the Kingdom of Bordeaux, so this visit is not even enough to divulge any special sentiments. But the side that welcomed us did not seem so, and many did not even try to hide their surprised faces, but looked up at us. This time they are priests gathered in the liberation of hostages, just like us, fragmented in sects and numbers. It was unclear whether it was in anticipation of combat that only relatively young people were being gathered. Lord Rubias lowered his head in regret for worrying about their gaze like that.

"No offense, folks, because Lizardman is just unusual. I want you to forgive me."

"I don't mind. I'm used to this gaze."

With a golden scale, I don't think anything more about it now that I've been noticed, because I attract people's attention from day to day, both domestically and internationally. Instead, let the princess, Lord Rubias, bow her head, and this one's going to be scared.

"It would help if you could say that. Now, quickly, but let me explain the operation here. Guys, you ready?

Everyone snorted quietly at Lord Rubias's words. Gathered on this occasion were the Brave Party of Bordeaux, Barrios and Bercis. And thirty clerics from each sect. In addition to that, there are about thirty more men dressed in lightweight gear. Apparently, they usually work as spies, and this time they decided to participate specially in the hope of Lord Rubias. I got anxious while other personnel wondered if the spies were good to expose their faces, but surely people like them must be a big force in this operation.

"The first thing I'll say is that this is a top-secret operation. The Demons, who are supposed to be lurking in the King's Capital of the Kingdom of Strom, do not know where they are lurking. It is also possible that those who look like ordinary ordinary citizens and soldiers are demons, so King Strom cannot, of course, be enlightened by ordinary soldiers about our purpose. So..."

When Lord Rubias glanced at him, the soldiers came with some crates. When the lid was opened, it contained plain clothes, swords of mass production, and partial armor of skin.

"I want the clergymen to wear this. If you go into the city with your clergy clothes in a boulder, you'll find out your identity in an instant. And the operation, but first, within our party, only me and Dieria will visit the royal castle to meet the king. I didn't plan to meet with the king, but I can't refuse to accept an invitation from the other side, so I think I'll just keep my face to myself, the representative of the party, and Dieria, the brave man of Zervis, and have my master, Karin, and Ciel stay in the city."

I heard the general circumstances from Lord Lapis on the way from Barrios, so I can expect this invitation to be of some purpose as well. And since the number of demons lurking within the royal castle is not expected to be high, I guess the Lord Rubias and the Lord Dieria alone are enough for battle power.

"And from here on out is the key. The priest and escort, the spy, have the entire king capital scattered all over the place to rule under the influence of sacred magic, and use sacred magic with the start time of the operation. If your sacred magic is activated correctly, the weakening of the demon clan lurking in the king's capital should succeed. Because the sacred magic used this time also has the effect of disrupting the target's magic control, if the demon clan is magically changing its appearance, it will almost certainly reveal its identity. If that happens, it will naturally be a noise, so I want the masters and Lord Bandit and Lord Anello to rush to the scene of the noise, would that be all right?

"Oh. Even though it's weakened, the demon opponents will be tight on regular soldiers. Naturally."

"I don't have a problem either. Fighting demons is natural as a brave man."

That's why I came all the way here. It is an honor to expect strength as a brave man. If that's to save people's lives, we'll gladly fight.

"Regardless of Lord Bandit, the Aneros can't help the extent to which they disguised themselves as boulders, so I want this place to reopen and enter the city with dignity. If the brave men of Bercis were to enter the king's capital, the demons might also be vigilant and lurk their movements. I'm sorry to make you imitate this, but I want you to be patient here."

"I don't mind. Rather, let us rejoice. If you get my attention, that should be all the attention off the hostages."

"Thank you"

Confirming the operation, Lord Rubias and Lord Dieria are in the Royal Castle. The other faces are scattered throughout the city to prepare for the situation. After the priests use their sacred magic, they slap the Demons from one end to the other -. It sounds easy if this is all it takes, but we haven't actually figured out the total number of enemies, and maybe a little more than we think. And strength, too. I'm not willing to fight and lose, but if the lurking demons were in each other's arms with me and Bandit... it could be a pretty tough situation. But I can't interrupt the operation right now, and even if I leave it alone, things will only get worse, so I won't have a choice but to make a decision.

"That's it for the operation. Operation starts at exactly 8: 00 p.m. I want you to lurk on the ground a few days before the start of the operation and tap the terrain of each city into your head. If the Demons stay in the land for a long time, the air may be slightly degenerate due to the influence of Qi, so I want you to look for traces of it as well. And the top priority is securing an escape route for emergencies. Hostage rescue is important, of course, but you must not make your life crude. Run away with Sassa if you feel your life is in danger. Regardless of our brave party, clerics and spies want it to be remembered in their liver. So, finally, do you have any questions?

No one answered Lord Rubias's inquiry, but instead returned a burning gaze at his sense of purpose. She nods contentedly when she takes it.

"All right, then let's go. Master, Ciel, Dieria. Please."

"Okay."

"Leave it to me."

"Sounds tough this time. We have to work hard."

Being quite a large area, I thought it would be difficult to travel even with the flying magic of Lord Lapis on the boulder, but she looks fine and makes everyone float into the sky. With the aid of Lord Ciel and Lord Dieria, it seems that even this number of people is fine. In the meantime, it is only near the king's capital that we travel with this flying magic, after which we will all fall apart and walk into the king's capital. Because you can't be at all distracted by the Demons.

We have to succeed in whatever this operation is.

I was renewing my determination, staring at the view flowing beneath my eyes.
