Fie first split the troops into two hands.

Ask the two eastern quarters who came about this way to call for rescue even to the cloister.

"Why don't you two take this road and tell the packing house about this?

Honestly, 11 fees is too much for such a battle force. I wanted to call for help as soon as possible.

If two people are close in the same quarters, I think it would be appropriate to separate the personnel.

"Oh, I'll take care of it"

Immediately after understanding the story, the two immediately run down the road to the stuffing.

When I dropped it off, I turned to the rest of the members.

"Let's go back to the village. Be careful not to ever find it. Don't forget your enemies around you."

Members around me nod at that instruction.

It's the mountains we want to get back to quickly, but when we find ourselves, it's over.

Reducing any feelings, he went for the village while bypassing the road.

The example village was seen when a group armed with that armor had just arrived in front of the village.

(Ku... I knew I didn't make it...)

I wanted to get into the village first, if possible, and help the Cognacs out.

But Fee ordered me to settle into my own heart. The Cognacs are not dead yet.

I looked around at the faces of the boys, whose hopelessness began to mix, and called out to them to peel off.

"Let's just calm down and see how it goes. I haven't decided I can't help you yet. If we were in a hurry, we'd pretend even if we had that chance."

Perhaps resting.

That's the power. If the other person wants to kill you, it will happen in an instant.

Do we fight and put a glimmer of hope on even if we know we can't do it then, or should we just ruthlessly abandon it?

Fee didn't make up his mind while he knew which answer to choose.

Now hide yourself in the bushes nearby for now and watch the village.

There were cognacs bound in the middle of the village. Apparently, he was detained by the villagers before he fought the soldiers. Perhaps you were surprised to pretend to be welcome.

Just a little relief. This one should have had a better survival rate than it would have been a bad fight.

Although the situation doesn't turn out to be overwhelmingly bad...

The villagers carry weapons like handmade thick sticks and keep an eye on the cognacs.

There, that bunch came.

A man in the lead. Only the man wears lightweight armor.

He was a man who grew a barren beard on his sprinkled cheeks, and his orbit snapped, reminiscent of some animal hyena. Being able to follow those full-body armored soldiers, I can tell you're the leader of that regiment.

As the man approaches, that village chief talks in his hand, asking him how he feels.

"Master Guerrius, this is how the apprentice knights have kept us in captivity. I didn't even have to slight your hand."

The man, called Gerus, did not respond to the majesty of the village chief, but came near the apprenticeship knights, frowning, and clawing his fingers, and retrieving the number.

"Hih, huh, mih... ya... Whoa, you don't have enough. According to information, there must be 21 apprentice knights."

"Yes. Then we left the village without even asking to stop."

"Ah!? Why are we only catching these guys in that situation?

Gerus distorts his face to the report.

The village chief who was grabbed by the chest barn screamed "Hino".

"This is where the kids went into the village and got caught off guard, and they were going to catch everyone at once. The kids were looking around, and all of a sudden they were missing somewhere."

"Yes......"

"Yet if these kids disappear and the other goes back to reporting, they'll even know what happened and where they were before they disappeared. I can't use the same operation anymore. And I caught him once, so I can't even stop the operation. This is the most troublesome situation I've ever had, and this garbage scum."

"Shh, excuse me. I couldn't think..."

The village chief looks bright blue and apologizes.

When Gerus throws the village chief to the ground, he turns his face to the restrained cognac.

Nobody had anything to fuss about. I guess they feel it themselves. He said it was a bad thing.

"Hey, where are the back guys?

Gerus looks down at the tied cognac and asks questions.

"... I resumed my lookout and went that route"

Cognac's answer was a lie.

Fee went down the lookout route. Just, shut down the other way.

"It's a lie! I walked over there!

You must be earning points, Souma Village Chief enters the correction.

The next moment, a relentless kick hit Cognac.

"Shh, shh..."

Cognac coughs up as he vomits to an unharmed blow to his stomach.

I saw it. Fee's hands felt much stronger.

"Dude, don't be too defiant, okay? You mean hostages, so I'm keeping you alive, but if you're too rebellious, you're gonna keep killing me, okay? You guys will work as slaves under us when we get back to the Dark Realm. You better be honest with me."

After laughing and looking down at Cognac, Gerhus gave instructions to the soldiers.

"Hey, we're gonna go get the rest of the kids. Now, you're not far away."

So Gerus took his soldiers, and disappeared from the village.

Phee said.

"Let's go"

I still look at the faces of the boys who remain confused and say.

"If we're going to help the Cognacs, now's the only time."

They left no soldiers in the village. I know there are some manpower in the search for the woods, but I'm sure I'm alarmed.

I guess I haven't thought of a case where this one's already noticed their existence.

This was probably the first and last chance.

Phee's words also set the boys ready.

Jumping out of the bush, the apprentice knights quickly head to the centre of the village.

"Become, you guys......!?

When the villagers saw the fies, they put up a stick in advance.

Fee pulls out his sword and tells him with a faint look.

"Don't resist. Or I'll have to slaughter you."

I didn't want to kill you. Though we have fallen into ourselves, our opponents are not bandits or enemy soldiers. A villager who normally lived in the region.

I'm sure they're just putting me in that guy's mouth truck.

Fee wasn't ready to kill people yet. It's a pitiful story as a knight, but it's a sweet state to the kindness of the Crows.

Still, in this situation, if you're coming towards me, I have to slash you to help the Cognacs.

I can't do it. We'll have to do it.

The other apprentice knights pulled out their swords and turned to the villagers.

My sword-shaking hand sweated.

Feeling the boys' dangerous seriousness, they pull backwards.

Relieved in my heart.

But I try not to show that, and look at the villagers without alarm, untying the ropes of the cognacs.

"Are you okay, Cognac?"

"You guys..."

Cognac shrugs when he sees the fies who have come to help him.

Phee said blocking Cognac from trying to say something.

"Now let's get out of here anyway"

"Oh..."

Cognac nods to the word, and the boys who are untied also run out to play the village together.

I could see one village man running outside the village in their sight like that.

"I'm going to let those guys know! What do we do!?

Fee bites to it once and answers with a sad voice.

"Let it go. I have no choice. Detention is ineffective in this situation. So I just don't have the courage to slash it from behind...... If it prevents me from getting away with it, I might have to kill all the people in this village... You can't do that, can you? It's probably best to run away and hide in the meantime..."

As for the Fees, doing something about the villagers here was the safest way to go.

But it was pointless to detain one person who went to the report. Someone else might untie the rope, someone else might run new again. or so, the Fees don't have the kind of resources to detain all the villagers.

I don't know when those guys will come back. The villagers are also inferior in number. We don't know how many people there are in this village in the first place. It was impossible to detain everyone for sure.

If we're going to stop it, I think we're going to have to kill it. It's a threat, and it's not a great drain on time.

But I couldn't do that. The Fees couldn't do it.

(Why are you looking at me like this...)

The boys feel sad about the situation being pushed into by the villagers who were supposed to protect them.

But I didn't stop my leg.

We just have to break that off and do our best in the present situation.

Anyway, now before those men come back, we have to earn some distance.

***

When he was summoned back to the village by a man from the village who rushed to run, he didn't even look like the apprentice knights he was supposed to have caught once.

"Ooh, what's this all about?

Gerus's tone was mild, but his voice sounded disturbing.

"Well, that's what the apprentice knights came after Master Guerrius left. We resisted, too, but we were threatened with a sword, we had no choice..."

"Shit, it's getting more and more troublesome"

Gerus distorts his face to the village chief's report.

"I know where he ran off. If we push him in, can we catch him? Or ambush."

Listening to the direction and time the Fees had escaped, he began to think of his next hand.

"Oh, um..."

To Gerus like that, the village chief spoke. It's a way to keep your hips down and get them in a good mood.

"Ah? What?

"Can we get the reward you promised..."

"Huh?"

With a teasing grin on its face and the wind fearing it would damage Guerrius' mood, that seems to be quite important to him. In this situation, I'm going to ask Gerus.

"was a story that, according to the story, if we work together, whether we succeed or fail. Of course, this isn't the full price, because this is what happened. So, but we also embedded the country's apprentice knights, so we won't be able to live here. My story was that I could get enough money to live in another country in abundance… 70% … No, I wish I could get about half the price…"

Gerus looks at the village chief still. I lifted my arms to my shoulders, and after doing the mysterious trick of raising and lowering my hands twice or so, I said with a grin on that hyena-like face.

"Relieved. I'll pay you right."

"Ho, is that true!?

A delightful colour floats in the mayor's face.

"Oh, take it"

At the next moment, Geryos pulls out his sword and pierces the village chief's belly.

A sword through his belly comes out of his back, and blood leaks out of it.

The village chief doesn't know what happened, he said it with that face.

"Hey, what..."

Blood overflows from its mouth.

Gerhus looked at it and laughed, and said to the village chief, wiggling his guts with his sword as if besides.

"It's expensive, you sword. That's a good reward, right? Take it. Well, I can't have it in the underworld, so I'll have it right back."

"Yakuza..."

In that word Gerus smiled downwards, thinking of his opponent entirely only as garbage, and told the dying village chief.

"Huh? Why do I have to keep my promises to trash people like you when I'm from nobility? From the beginning, I'm not willing to keep my promises to you guys. When it was all over, he was going to kill the bandits as well. Expense cuts. It could be, right?

Hearing the words, the village chief fell to the ground and took his breath away.

"Hino!

"So-so, village chief"

Panic occurs to the villagers who were still watching the sight.

"Oh, no, no, no, no, no, no."

"Help, forgive, ahhhhhhhhh!?

The villagers are also slaughtered and killed by soldiers who were nearby.

"Wow! Run!"

Several villagers try to run away from the village.

But at some point the village was besieged by soldiers. Everything that can be done from the village is blocked by soldiers.

The villagers who tried to escape were killed by their soldiers.

The villagers, who lost their escape, have no choice but to tremble in the village.

Such villagers are slaughtered on a whim after whim by the soldiers.

Gerhus laughs joyfully as he sees the dying sights of such villagers.

"Ha ha, kill him, kill him! Then kill him!

Soldiers entered the house as well, and many screams were heard from it.

And not for a few minutes, the village went quiet.

All there is is is a lot of blood, but only a faint sound shaking in the wind.

Gerus looks refreshed and satisfied with such a sight.

"Well, the disposal of the dumb sheep is over, and we'll catch the runaway foxes"

Said as he looked at the woods where the fies had escaped and whispered his tongue.

"Come on, it's hunting time"
