I Said Make My Abilities Average!
395 Defense Battle 9
'Was that so......'
When Miles explained the situation to Shippo...... Keragon, he was easily convinced.
"Yeah, that's why there seemed to be nothing here about old ruins or materials or machines. It was just an underground space and a chunk of rust left. They say the scavengers that came there built the golem, and they're building something else, but that's not what everyone in the ancient dragons is looking for, what, something that's been around for a long time, records and stuff, right?
Keragon snorts in miles of words.
"Then you don't have to make the sub fight scavengers and golems to be hostile, do you? There will only be casualties for the subhumans, and if you do poorly, the ancient dragons and subhumans will be recognized as enemies, and that could spread to scavengers and golems all over the continent, right? I wonder if that would make the site survey quite difficult."
"Ugh..."
"You are held accountable…"
'Ugh...'
"To the cause of the demise of this world..."
"Ghaaaaaaaa!!
"Here, not too harsh!
That's what I said, Mavis pounding mile's head lightly.
"Reaching out the hand of salvation to the ancient dragon is some chivalry spirit...... or, don't be diagrammatical, oi!
Ahehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehe
No, that would be it. From a human point of view, it is inconceivable to speak with a tame mouth to an ancient dragon, a high-ranking being located in the middle between ourselves and God, or to say something nuanced like 'It is time to give him a break'.
... No, to say that, there is something unusual in the first place about the existence of a human being who takes the attitude that the ancient dragon was like a runaway cousin...
"So, what these people are saying..."
'Um, it's all true. Our activities are already known in these countries, and these people are particularly involved with us among them, … and my benefactor.
This place will be withdrawn as a "hassle" and moved to exploring and investigating other candidate sites'
Keragon, who suddenly became a majestic way of speaking to the subhumans, but it smelled too late...
"Oh, but weren't the Keragons part of the combat unit? How could you do the same thing to Mr. Beredettes in the new America?
Keragon looks a little like he dropped his shoulder, to the casual question of miles.
"... four humans, that's three ancient dragons who fled when their female opponents bumped them out, too, right? Let me tell you. Ahhhhh! '
"" "" Sorry...... ""
'But you're in trouble...'
"What's wrong?
Keragon changed the subject, but it didn't seem like a very good topic.
When Miles asks worried......
'No, I must naturally report this case to my mentor. It's an activity carried out with the life of a leader. And what do your mentors think when they hear your name again...'
"" "" Ahhh... ""
The last time alone, I defeated the ancient dragon twice, so it wasn't surprising that if you were short tempered and stupid, you would have sent out the next punishment squad immediately. Maybe the other ancient dragons were desperate to convince me to stop them.
But if it's the third time......
No, it's nothing. It doesn't mean I repelled the ancient dragon this time.
And I didn't even interrupt the investigation of the ruins, but after this, the subhumans reported the attitude of the earlier scavengers and golems to the "Red Vows," and if they told me that as it were, I didn't know what they thought of the "leaders".
And Keragon also has tasks and duties and whatever makes him promise 'personally, I'm not hostile' in deals like the last one, he can't give false reports to leaders, chiefs and elders of his tribe. Because there will be a lot of things like being an ancient dragon...
"Uh-huh, I can't help it...... Besides, one day it will come, because I'm the inevitable middle boss..."
"Medium boss?
"Are you the middle boss?
"Are you treating me like a medium boss?... Well, maybe to that extent. Because it's miles..."
To the whining of miles, Pauline, Mavis, and Lena don't look too surprised.
The concept of 'medium boss' is, of course, widely known due to the work of a famous, up-and-coming writer.
"" "" "" "Medium Boss......" "" "
And apparently, even among the subhumans, the entertainment novel of a certain writer was widely read.
"Where are your dwellings," Inside the Ancient Dragon, "and where are they?
"We just went a little southeast from here."
"" "" Huh?
Four of the "Red Vows" raised their voices in surprise, but the others, that is, the Submen and the merchants, have no surprise bareback.
Unless you also live on an isolated island in the sea, there are plenty of ancient dragons living in the same place for thousands of years, and there's no way anyone knows that place. In areas where there are many examples of sightings, the direction in which they fly away, and occasionally the ancient dragons will have their hopes fulfilled or they will admire the title of Dragon Killer (Dragonbuster), some of them will have searched around for the residence of the ancient dragons.
So the only people surprised by Ancient Dragon Keragon's reply were the three Lenas who assumed that "Inside the Ancient Dragon" was like a secret hiding place or something, and the four of them, a mile whose intentions were shocked not to think it was that close.
"From here, the southeast direction is close to the sea, right?
"Oh, that's close."
Keragon answers that plainly to the miles he confirms as he pulls his face apart.
"Was it in the Empire," Inside the Ancient Dragon "..."
Indeed, if it is in that position, the 'Red Oath' is the direction of the forest where I first met the Beledetes and the others if I go north along the coastline and then into the kingdom of Tills, and if I cross the sea and head northeast, it is the country where I met the Keragons. Nothing, nothing strange. And this country, with its many unexplored steep (cucumber) mountainous areas, was, if you ask me, the most 'country likely to be inhabited by ancient dragons' around here...
"... so what do you do, Miles..."
"Uh, for now, Mr. Keragon reports back inside and waits for the results of what happens, so... We have an escort for the merchants..."
To Lena, that's the mileage to answer….
"It's not that way! No, it's important, but what I'm saying is, what are we gonna do about this place? If these people pull away, how do you think this country, which is stockpiling soldiers and munitions, is going to move?
I'm about to attack some country, and there's going to be a problem with subhuman entanglement, so you stop and switch to domestic combat preparation, and that threat suddenly vanishes.
Army ready to put in and munitions collected. Big merchants who are buying more supplies and selling them to the military at a high price after a war economy.
... What do you think will happen when all of a sudden the subhumans are gone from here?
"Ah..."
Firstly, there is no doubt that an invasion of another country will soon begin. Northeast of the country, against the kingdom of Tillus, home of the 'Red Oath', to the north, against the kingdom of Brandel, home of the miles, and against any country of the kingdom of Vanolak, northwest.
"Uh-huh, how do I..."
You don't have to worry about it.
"Huh?"
A merchant sandwiched his mouth from side to side for miles to ponder.
"Originally, this country was preparing for war. That's why we've only been interrupting this matter for a little while, so we'll be back soon. If, as the upper echelons of this country feared, subpopulations from all over the country rose together, for whatever reason, it was just a matter of this place, because a large part of the prepared force was no longer needed anyway.
So it was just a matter of time anyway. It's not like you're gonna get sick. "
"Uh-huh, I do when they say that... But then, after all the Subhumans have pulled away, the Imperial soldiers will come here to investigate, right, to find out what the Subhumans were doing here? When that happens, now the battle of Imperial soldiers against the Golem begins..."
The world at large, or from the kingdom of Tillus, it is to be welcomed that the soldiers of the empire and the Golems fight. In the fight against the Golem, a demon, the soldiers of the Empire, albeit slightly, are damaged, eat the military budget and have more extra work.
But now it cannot be possible, in the character of miles, to see the golems who have become their own subordinates wear out in vain, even in nominal terms alone.
"Mmmmmmmmmm......, yes!
Pico!
It's like a classic comic book expression can be visualized over your head, it's a stunning 'me, I'm flashing (flickering)!' It was a radiant mile of smile that I just said...
