Kanna no Kanna

Episode 60 Kaori of Conspiracy

We survived the extraordinary situation that hit the camp, but everything has not been resolved.

"What is it?"

"Well, the only witness, the goggle was gone away."

The purpose of the summoning ceremony in such a place is unknown. Certainly, it is not a motivating motive, such as "I wanted to make friends." If so, they wouldn't call for an ogre or other “beast of the blood festival!”

"Speaking of which, why did the adventurers notice that the summoning ceremony was laid here? The summoner's built barrier to perfection was perfect. Everyone who was patrol missed the sign of the magical power that was occurring. ''

So, let's hear the soldiers' names. It is difficult to determine which is which.

"It's bad to break the story, but tell me your name. I'm Canna. Adventurer rank is D." "Oops, this was rude. I'm a member of the Diagal Empire Phantom Dragon Knight My name is Asto. ''

This is a calm soldier.

"Fuse is also a member of the Phantom Dragon Knights."

Anri is a good gatekeeper.

It is a simple self-introduction only for the self-name. By the way, as you can see from the fact that they call him "soldier" many times, they're not just knights, but graduates.

"Knight" refers to a warrior appointed by the feudal lord. And the part of the knight led by the “Knights”.

Usually, the "knights" have the image of an elite unit whose composition has been solidified by "knights". It doesn't change much in the fantasy world or the real world.

However, the Diagar Empire has a slightly different coat color. The “knight” carefully selects members with his own control, and if the country is recognized as “one strength”, it is treated as a “knights”. Whatever the status class, Diagal is a meritocracy in the military. It is a style where any person who is capable can be used.

"Embarrassed, the only ones who remain in the camp, including us, are those who belong to the Knights of the Phantom Dragon and are still young. I could have done it. ''

Fuse regretted.

"... Huh? Doesn't it take adventurer rank B to defeat him alone?" "Almost all of the phantom dragon knights were trained directly by the former A rank adventurer commander. Yes, almost all of them have the same fighting power as the adventurer B rank. The deputy chief will be the ability of the rank B as close as possible to A. "" ... Until I submit a raid request to the adventurer guild There wasn't even, for this goblin defeat. ''

Almost all of them raised their ranks for raid requests, except for some. Among them, it will have the highest level of competence, but it is considerably inferior to the phantom dragon knights who are almost all B-ranked people.

"Fuse's B-rank is the strength he's facing against" humans. "He's in a different field than the adventurers who use demons to subdue. The defeat will be much less efficient than C-rank adventurers. ''

If it is limited to demon beasts, it is said that three phantom dragon knights are equivalent to adventurer rank C. Well, depending on the type of monster, this number ratio will change, but it can not be said in general.

The story has gone aside. With the ability of the Phantom Dragon Knights at this level, return to the current question.

"Do you think here in order?"

I raised my index finger so that they looked like two people.

"Assuming that I did not notice the goggles and the barrier of human payment was maintained, what would happen?" "The magic was poured into the completed summoning ceremony, and the permanent summon of the ogre was activated Probably. "

After Fuse's words are over, raise a second finger.

"A large group of augers had emerged in the middle of the camp before you noticed it. Suppose you had enough numbers?" "It would have been rampaging in the camp. Without the palace, we couldn't defeat even the two augers, and that was horrifying, considering there were ten or twenty. "

An ast with a slightly blue face. I guess he didn't want to say "I was annihilated."

"Realistically, that 'first purpose' of the goggle is the destruction of the camp, including you."

I raised my third eye.

"What's annoying when the camp is destroyed is ... well, maybe the main force and adventurers of the Knights heading for the defeat of the goblins."

When you think about things in order, you come to the answer unexpectedly and simply. This is the way of thinking learned from Ayana. Thanks to me, I can hardly say that I can get here.

"No, if it was just destroyed, there is no problem. The main force of the Phantom Dragon Knight will be able to cope with a group of ogres. At any rate, Ikki Tousen is an influential person. Ten or twenty of the augers can be annihilated easily. "

In Ast's words, I remembered a silver-haired big-breasted elf. With Yakko-san's power, I can compete against the auger head on. No exaggeration.

"There's a C-rank adventurer over there. Destruction of goods is certainly painful, but the ogre population isn't a very threatening force."

For civilians and inferior soldiers, the Ogre group is nothing less than a nightmare, but for a combination of the Phantom Dragon Knights and C-rank adventurers, it is only a "little bit of a beast".

Come here and notice the discrepancy between Ast's words and my words.

"Hmm? I said what happened when this camp was destroyed. Didn't you talk about when the Ogre and the Phantom Dragon Knight collide?" "No, Ast destroyed the camp. It's an explanation of what the auger will do after doing it. "" Oh, oh, I'm sorry to be confusing. "

Ast said that Fuse would supplement it.

Organizing, if the goggles succeed in summoning as it is, this camp will be destroyed along with the supplies, and the ogre will be in the operation of the phantom dragon knight ………….

"Why does the Ogre rush into the Knights of the Phantom Dragon?" "There is no exception to the summoning tactics, which incorporates the tactics that bind the actions of the summoned target. But rather it's a magical flaw without it. "

Of course. If the summoned target moves freely, the poor handrail summoner will be killed.

"I summoned a ferocious beast in the middle of the camp. Is it natural to hit the Knights based here?"

After all, it seems that Ogre was short of actors before becoming an opponent of the Phantom Dragon Knights + Adventurers. In the end, the goggles will only increase the effort of the knights and destroy supplies.

--- Is it really just an issue?

I don't feel refreshed. I feel like I'm overlooking something.

That time.

There was a bang in my mind, as a hard object crashed.

「ー ー ー ー ー ー」

There was no pain, but reflexively I reached my ear.

"......... Kanna?"

Asto called out and Fuse leaned down, but couldn't afford to say it back.

What is it now? The feel is close to the time when the reactive ice barrier charged on the back of the armor has broken. However, I did not have a blow in the auger battle earlier, and all the ice crystals I prepared were safe.

………… No.

There is another ice crystal that I made in advance besides the one I have now.

"Is the ice crystal that I gave to Chloe?"

The feeling was probably that the ice crystals passed to her broke through the effect of the reactive ice barrier. It is unexpected that the presence or absence of the activation was communicated even at such a long distance, but it is not far from it.

It may have been fatal by accident, but it is unlikely.

Chloe is a skill that I can't even reach in pure skill. Even a goblin of a lower grade should be safe. Especially if it is a group of more than a hundred. In addition, top-ranking goblins have been identified as estimated B ranks. It is impossible to show a gap.

"……… If Goblin is your opponent?”

An unpleasant foreboding came up.

Isn't the assumption wrong in the first place?

On this occasion we concluded that the Ogre could not be the opponent of a knights operating, a joint unit of adventurers. However, it is premised that "the opponent of the joint unit is a large group of goblins." Goblin is a small fish among small fish. If you are skilled, you can also deal with an auger that attacks the goblin army from behind.

However,

"……… If the main force ahead was struggling, and if the Ogre had a surprise attack,”

Asto and Fuse were astonished at the conclusion I made.

"Well, no way. Did you say that the joint unit of the Knights of the Dragon and the Adventurers struggled against the goblin?" That doesn't mean it's not. "

The answer is finally ready.

The outbreak of the goblin that occurred this time. I just thought it was a rare natural phenomenon because of the birth of a higher-ranking individual, but I suspected that it was artificially occurring.

"Something" with a fighting power higher than that of the goblin, and a group of augers from the front and back. This is probably the goal that Goggles wanted to do.

"Damn, why do you have trouble everywhere you go!"

Cursing the God of Destiny, I stared at Chloe, where he was right now.
