"Ko, this......
I'll do it! Be careful not to kill him!
Apparently, he was not really willing to do harm.
At least on this occasion.
But when it comes to fighting, it doesn't go either.
Though they don't seem to be willing to kill each other, in the battle we wave weapons at each other, we don't know what will happen. The intention is to remove the steeple, but it is common for enemies to strike directly at the deadly part because they tried to avoid it.
And shortly after the four enemies were attacked, from the other side, the two lurking leaped.
It's more confusing to show up right after you're in motion to intercept four people than to get out at the same time. It was the way of those who excelled in melee combat.
There is not a single inexperienced person who uses such manipulation. The four of 'The Red Vow' were upset and easily confused......, did not.
Against the four enemies from the front, Miles and Mavis took one at a time and ignored the two avant-garde sorcerers, Lena and Pauline, against the other two, Lena struck down fire magic and Pauline smacked in ice magic respectively.
Enemies who thought they would be able to move and do nothing because there was no bare gesture to chant at all to Lena and Pauline received a decent chunk of flame in their bellies due to the fire magic that Lena had put on hold without chanting, who was confident that they would never take it off because of close range, and the other, similarly, was slammed from Pauline into their bellies and blown backwards together.
Fortunately, Pauline had rounded the tip of the ice column for me, so the enemies she had eaten were never going to get hurt badly. Still, he suffered considerable burns to his abdomen, and the victim by Lena was more badly injured. Apparently the beast man was not wearing metal protective equipment or leather gear.
... Apparently, only the Beast Man relied too much on his own skin.
By that time, Miles, who had taken the slaughter of his enemies with a sword by the likes of Xu, had swung off his sword and bounced off his opponent's weapon as it was, and Mavis had also swung off his opponent's weapon with instantaneous fast and powerful slaughter.
The enemy's weapon was handled with one hand from its shape and seemed unable to counter the power of the sword that Miles and Mavis wielded with both hands.
But for the Beastman, it was unthinkable, for example, to lose power to man. It is also displeasing when a young, weak-looking girl is dealt with.
That's the complete loss of power.
Exactly, no matter how much, you're not going to stand up to your opponent with a sword with your bare hands, or you were too shocked, the two men who were played with the weapon stood up flashly, slammed down with a sword belly as they were by Miles and Mavis.
And the two enemies, who were one tempo late and attacked from the rear, tried to hit Lena and Pauline, but Lena and Pauline rushed over and ran behind Miles and Mavis, where they began chanting spells as they suddenly stopped.
In front of the enemy, Miles and Mavis with swords. Lena and Pauline chanting a spell behind it.
The only allies who had eight are now the two of us.
The two remaining enemies were upset and in a hurry, but could not escape abandoning their falling companions. I tried to stand up to four of the 'Red Vows' with a desperate look on my face, then...
"I'm getting away with this!
"" "Ooh!
Four of the "Red Vows," escaped.
And there was nothing particularly like being turned around by the enemy.
The remaining enemies stood poking at the spot for some time, but when they looked stiff, they rushed to help their falling companions. Thank God for our own good fortune......
And he managed to retreat with his companions while lending a hand to the badly injured.
"... as planned. Let's go."
"" "Roger!
Four of the 'Red Vows' whispered so in a whisper, quietly began their journey.
It is, of course, the pursuit of the beasts.
Capturing and questioning doesn't make me think they'll answer honestly, and they won't be able to act properly with a large number of prisoners. I said, I can't leave you in the woods, I can't kill you.
There are a number of actions to be taken in these cases that have been decided as the basic course of action of the party, and this is one of them, the "swim and track pattern".... there was no twist whatsoever, it was the same name.
Normally, it is difficult to covertly track down beastmen whose sense of smell and hearing is better than that of humans.
Because if you track them at a distance that you don't lose sight of in the woods, you will really be noticed by their sharp perceptual abilities.
But now, they had lost just enough room and ability to pay attention to their surroundings in a scratchy hurry, as well as to the smell of blood and burning, pain and flutter, and cluttered travel with unusual and varied murmurs.
Miles of detective magic could also be used to track them far enough away. But that's not for the party. That's how Miles chose the path that everyone would normally follow, but thanks to those circumstances they managed to do so without being noticed.
"... what, that..."
Lena shrugged in dismay.
That's not impossible either. What can be seen in their eyes peeking from the shade of the trees were the beasts who attacked the 'Red Pledge', sheltering the injured and going to one of the five crude huts built side by side.
That's good. I hope so.
The problem was the sight that spread beyond it.
Half-collapsed, something like a relic when you wake up made of cut out stone.
And a large number of beasts work with farming equipment like Suki and Kuwa.
What Miles saw and associated with it was The Site of Excavation of the Ruins, which, perhaps, would really be itself.
"... what do we do?
"I don't care what they say..."
Pauline answers Mavis' question like she's in trouble.
Lena, too, was stuffing her words with a sight too unexpected.
"This is reconnaissance!
It will be released there, miles of words.
"It's also important to bring this information back in a hurry, but if you have a clue about the missing investigation team or the hunters, or if they were directly involved in it, there's still a chance you'll make it...
Besides, if the missing people were captured, if they came with a massive force, they could escape, be taken hostage, or be killed in disguise... "
"Let's scout tonight!
The sight of Lena had changed from miles of words, hostages, around.
And after observing for a while, someone ran out of the cabin where the beasts had gone earlier, and then people came in and out for a while and something slightly noisy happened, but then the movement subsided.
Apparently, he had no intention of going to capture the 'Red Vow'. Maybe he wasn't even found out about this place, so he was judged harmless as just a new American party for his little girls, who just walked in a little too far into the back of the woods.
I never thought they'd be the middle-sized hunters they asked to investigate, let alone the ones they'd followed, but also the new American party that ran into the Beast Man and rushed back.
"... so, it's an operation"
Once away from what looked like an excavation site to prevent the Beasts from discovering him, The Red Vow was working out plans for tonight while eating meals.
I have plenty of time, but I can't cook with fire because it reduces my chances of being discovered at all. The only meal is firm bread, dried meat, and water.
It is too early for dinner, but this is also a good idea to move to action immediately after meals, so I am only going to eat a little early.
"There are five cabins in total. If anyone is caught, where are they, right?
If you observe it for a while, you may be able to see the suspicious from the state of people's entry and exit, but it is rejected because of the danger of finding this one, the lack of time and the fact that it is not certain if there is somewhat suspicious, that you do not know how much to observe without the person who was originally caught. "
Everyone nodded at Lena's words. The odds of being discovered are too high where there are a large number of beasts in normal condition.
"Saying, sneaking into all the cabins is too dangerous. First of all, they'll definitely find out."
……
So, Miles, it's your turn.
"Huh..."
Suddenly shaken, wolfish miles.
"I know. As much as you think about us...
But people's lives are at stake. Please take it seriously.
I'll use it, your "detective magic", with all your strength!
"…………, yes"
After all, they found out about Lena and the others.
Miles thinks it's not for everyone in The Red Vow to constantly use their ability to be too convenient, and that they refrain from using anything but 'a little convenient magic to such an extent that they won't have any trouble missing miles'.
And even though I know that, everyone who kept me from saying anything......
Miles made up his mind.
This time, I'm going to take my weight down a little.
However, only this time. From the next job, it also only provides a degree of convenience to weigh yourself properly and allow the three of you to continue working unimpeded whenever you suddenly disappear. Even without miles, to be able to act as a fine hunter......
… except for storage magic (item boxes).
