060. Defeat thieves

I doubted Alan's words. My acquaintance? In such a place? By all means Konoe! ? Must be so! Alan had no mistake. He began to wave at a horse approaching in a hurry.

I noticed I was waving and stopped the horse. You seem cautious. It may look suspicious indeed. It approaches slowly after waiting for the following group. On the other hand, when the distance was less than fifty meters, I let the horse run and headed for this at a tremendous speed. That's Dalsim!

"His Highness! Isn't Hey! Why in such a place!"

Dhalsim jumped off the horse and knelt in front of me.

"Long time! Dalsim"

In front of the guard, this tone is mysterious.

"Oh! Your Highness Princess, you're a long time!"

The group that Dhalsim was with also arrived at the vacant lot.

"His princess!" "Oh! Princess!" "Princess!"

Ahh! Konoe, everyone. However, it seems that some people do not recognize it.

"It's been a long time! Everyone! It looks so healthy and above all."

"His Highness, why are you in this place?

Look at Alain. Alan must have known that all Konoe would pass here. I wish I could tell you!

"No, that's not the way I'm working as an adventurer."

"Oh! What a coincidence! I'm really fortunate. In fact, I was worried that I could find the Princess immediately after arriving at Gantz."

That's true. Something should have been done.

"That's true. I thought everyone was far from arriving, and I wanted to take no action. It was almost at a loss."

"Fly the horse to the following! Hurry the set!"

Dalsim shouted to a stranger near the horse, and the man ran astride the horse and ran down the road. Is there a successor?

"Is there a follower? I thought it was a small number."

"Yes, it will be noticeable if you move in large groups."

So Dalsim grinned grinning. Is there anything?

"Alan-sama, we're all over.

"It's been a long time, Captain Dulsim."

Serena, Sharon, and Elna also greet each other. Meanwhile, groups began to arrive one after another. Everyone seems to have run at full speed.

"His Highness!" "Clelia!"

A greeting was returned to everyone who raised their voices one after another. I'm so excited about everyone who yearns for no longer being a royal family.

Everyone kneels before me. The supposedly last group has arrived and joined everyone as well. Funny. At any rate, there are more than fifty-eight people. Everyone calmed down.

"Dalsim, how many people are there?"

"Forty forty elites from the frontiers have joined us. They are all as strong as our guards. There will be a hundred in all."

That kind of thing? There must be people who don't know why. But from the uncle's army ... Suddenly, I saw a man next to Dalsim.

"You are, of course, your uncle's army, you're ... Walter."

I called out to a familiar man by the side of Dalsim.

"I wish you could remember the name of the princess! I feel like climbing to the heavens! It was true that I had the will twice before. I am the coordinator of the frontiers here."

"I see. Walter, please."

Oh! That so many people will come for me!

"Everyone! The long path was a great cause. I'm not so happy to meet you."

"I'm in the word of course. Your Highness Princess."

"I think everyone is listening, but we are now aiming for the top as an adventurer. I hope you will lend everyone the power in the future."

"" Wish! "" "Haha"

"His Highness, you said you were in the middle of a request, but what kind of request is it?"

"It's the defeat of bandits."

Everyone was upset.

"How! Was such a dangerous request made only by these five people?"

"No problem. We only need five."

"Ah! It was fortunate to be able to meet Her Imperial Highness here. There is no need to bother her, such a request. Let's take down the thieves and see them."

"Cleria, wouldn't you decide to talk here anyway? There's a good place in the camp ahead. What if you move there and talk?"

I forgot to introduce Alan to everyone!

"Everyone! The referral was delayed, but Alan is the leader of my party, the Shining Star."

"I'm Alain, the leader of the Shining Star. I think everyone will be participating as a member of the upcoming clan.

"Hah" "Thank you! Alan-sama"

Was good. Everyone seems to have heard of Alain already.

"Then, let's move to the campsite as Alan says. Everyone will have to return on the highway, but we will ask for preparation."

"" Hah ""

"Have preparations for each group!"

Everyone is ready and drive down the road with our carriages at the top. I arrived at Alan's camp in about three hours. It is a large river where you can get off by horse-drawn carriage, and if there are more than 100 people camping here, it will be no problem.

"Preparation for the camp! Make a lookout!"

"Dalsim, you don't need to be on guard"

Everyone stopped moving.

"His Highness, why is that?"

"Alan, and Serena and Sharon there are spellcasters, and no monster can escape the three."

"Detective magic ...? Such magic !?"

"Clelia"

Alan has noticed the discovery of the demon by hand sign. Greyhound, three heads, distance, direction. Recently, the sign has been improved to include the types of demons.

"Show me the evidence. That direction, greyhound, three heads, maybe thirty seconds later."

Everyone looks in the direction I pointed. Thirty and a few seconds later, three greyhounds appeared with everyone's attention. The distance is about 60 meters.

"" "Oh!" "

As expected, Greyhound has stopped looking at this number.

"I will kill you"

I fired three prepared flame arrows. It is faster than before by imitating Alain. The three fire arrows flew, chasing a greyhound trying to avoid them, and stood on their torso.

"Ooh!" "Awesome!"

"Splendid! Princess Highness!"

"Would someone pick me a stone?"

""I!""

Several people started running.

"I missed you. Alan-sama, Princess Highness."

"The Alans are always on the lookout. You don't have to keep an eye on them. I'd rather talk with you. Let's talk slowly when the camp is ready."

"I see. Camping ready! Hurry!"

Everyone started moving fast. I also help remove Tars and Schiller from the carriage.

"Sharon, Serena, it's bad, but will you hunt for prey for dinner? The river there is only shallow and fish are unlikely," said Alan.

"I understand." "I understand."

"Alan, let me go hunting too"

"Celia is good. Everyone wants to talk to Celia. Please be slow today."

For now, let's just accept that word. Sharon and Serena went out to hunt on a tars and a syrah carrying a leifle.

"Is it all right, Princess Hime? Like that, hunting alone with two cute daughters."

"Huh, Sharon and Serena aren't terrible. Probably, if you're doing so, you're stronger than anyone here.

"Than Alan-sama! I can't believe ..."

"I hope you have some lesson someday"

Alain began to make lavender with earth magic. Immediately there was a hedge around.

"His Highness, is this !?"

I'm making a lavatory. It's pretty stunning.

"It's amazing! I've seen things like earthworks and simple walls, but I've never seen anything so elaborate."

Alain made three men's and one woman's for about twenty minutes. Explains how to use it. It doesn't seem to make a hut today. Probably because we can make it but not everyone. It's like Alain.

Alain has taken a large iron plate with a handle from the carriage. This is the first thing you see on a board that is more than one meter long and about 80 cm short.

"Alan, what is it?"

"I got the master of the blacksmith's workshop to make it.

Alain started giving instructions to those who had a hand to put an iron plate and collecting firewood. Wood that will be firewood is rolling all over the river, so you won't have any trouble.

After a while, Serena and Sharon return. Tarth and Schiller each dragged a 50-kilometre big boa, each connected by a rope, while Serena and Sharon each had a blackbird in their hands. After all, they are great.

"Amazing! Just that prey in such a short amount of time? Hey! Receive the prey from the two and immediately dismantle!"

"Oh!"

More than twenty people who were vacant swarmed by their prey and were dismantled in an instant. Alain instructs how to cut the meat.

The furnace was set on fire and the meat was ready to bake. Everyone is watching the furnace. I guess everyone wasn't eating roku on the way. Everyone struggled.

"Clelia, it's a bit early but let's have dinner."

"Everyone! There are stories to pile up, but let's have dinner first!"

"" Hah! "

The two meat grillers appointed by Alain grill the meat with something like an iron spatula. Seasoning is simply like salt and pepper. Whether the heat is strong or the meat burns in no time. Indeed, that iron plate would be perfect for baking a lot of meat. The roasted meat is put on a platter, and everyone takes it from his side to his own tableware.

"Hi Princess, please click here"

Dalsim brought me roasted meat to me and Elna who were sitting in the folding chair. Big boa meat and blackbird meat.

Simple but delicious. It's more delicious than usual. No, maybe this atmosphere surrounded by everyone makes this happen.

"Dalsim, please. It's very delicious meat."

"I'm sorry."

Dalsim also took part in the fight for meat. In about an hour everyone seemed satisfied. As it became dim, light magic tools were placed and bonfires were fired in several places.

Everyone sat on the ground around me.

"I would like to hear the report first. What is the situation of your friends who have scattered in the field?"

"Hmm, there's no problem in general. Nobody has been reported as a single person, and they're fine."

The answer was Walter, the coordinator of the Frontiers.

"Yes, but it's their family who was worried. Many homes have lost their top earners. What's their life like?"

"Robert gave the family as much as she could of the money she sent."

"Clearly tell me, is it enough or not?"

"... not enough"

"... That's right. So we just need to do our best. We're already ready to send at least one million guineas. We'll make a quick transfer as soon as we return to Ganz. is there?"

"No"

"His Highness, do you say you've got a million guineas in this short time?"

"Mainly earned by Alan"

"No, that's not it. We earned at the party."

"... Yeah. Any other reports?"

"It seems that taxes have risen and stark dissatisfaction has risen in Starveik."

"Oh, that's what I've heard. There's more reason to regain our country as soon as possible. What else?"

"... Isn't there anything special?"

"Let's report on us at Gantz, but since we arrived at Gantz we haven't been so active as adventurers. I was training. "

"His Highness, Clan's home is the base? Thank you for us. How many people can live in that home?"

"If all the rooms were used, it would be possible for 120 people to live."

Now, Alan feels as if he had assumed that 100 people would live. Are you thinking too much?

"... so can we all live in that home?"

"Yes"

"That's great! I was wondering if I would live in a cheap hotel, but wouldn't it cost me a lot to rent such a large facility?"

"It was possible for Alain to negotiate with the guild manager of a commercial guild and rent it cheaply."

"As expected, Alan-sama."

"Not only that, Alain won the commercial guild's support and ongoing nomination. This is the first time this bandit has been defeated."

"Oh! But do you think it is reckless to defeat bandits with only five people at the party?"

"I understand that, but thirty thieves are not a big deal for our party."

"Thirty people! Did you say thirty people?"

Everyone is busy.

"This is the information Alan had in advance, we will defeat thirty thieves tomorrow."

"Oh, Clelia, I'm sorry. There are actually thirty-five."

"I see, thirty-five."

Everyone's noise has grown.

"Sir Norian, what do you think?"

Dulsim seems to have turned his nose on Erna. You can see what Dalsim is saying. It is completely reckless when considered normally. But if our party, a shining star, and Alan is there, it'll do just fine.

"I think that's okay, but with Alain."

"Oh, that's what I agree with, assuming Alan isn't there, it may be a bit reckless."

"Clelia, let's see if you're reckless tomorrow. Let's have everyone help and see how we fight."

"Of course, I can help you, but I'd like to leave it to us if possible ..."

"No, this is a request from the Shining Star.

"Clelia, Dalsim, let's set up a strategy tomorrow morning."

"I see. Alan."

After that, we talked about the story of when we attacked the Orc settlement and defeated the General Orc, the story of hunting the Big Blue Serpent, and the fact that we were promoted to B rank.

"By the way, Your Highness Princess. I've been worried a while ago, what's the one you're putting on your left shoulder?"

"Oh, this is the shining star insignia. It's a shining star design.

"Yes! Great! We would like to make the same thing if possible. Can you forgive me?"

"Of course. Let's make this a clan badge."

Alan left his seat and headed for the carriage. Did you make too many badges? However, even if we say that we made a lot, there will be not enough for the number of people. Eventually he came home with a hemp bag.

"Captain Dalsim, I made a lot of badges. Could you give this to everyone?"

"Oh! That's great! By the way, how many pieces are in this bag?"

"There should be as many people as you can.

"I understand. Hey! Three rows!"

Immediately, a line was formed in front of Dalsim, and Dulsim distributed one at a time. Everyone looks very happy. Some people pierce their clothes and put them on their left shoulders.

"Alan, why a hundred badges?"

"I don't know when clan members increase. I'm a foresighted and capable man."

suspicious. Alain felt like she knew this was going to be there. I still know the extra, but I don't need to bring it today.

Tomorrow I decided to get up with dawn and rest early. Dalsim stopped as he was trying to keep a lookout.

"Allan's detection magic is effective while asleep. There is no need to keep an eye on the monsters as they wake up when approached."

"That's right ... I see, then."

Still, Dalsim has instructed everyone to sleep around us. Isn't it impossible to believe it?

The next morning, after having breakfast for the rest of last night's dinner, I decided to gather a captain of the captain nearby and start a strategy meeting. That said, everyone else is also around.

Alan picked out a smaller map than the one he saw at home and spread it out on the table.

"First, take a look at this map. According to the information I got, thieves are often trapping at this point. There are actually twenty-seven or eight trappers. The remaining seven or eight often seem to protect the hideout here. ''

"If you know the location, please leave it to us."

"No, the bandits are watching. If you go with a large group, you will just hide. They could be bandits, and it's quicker to get them to attack once. "

"However…"

"Dalsim, clan leader is Alan"

"Huh! I'm sorry. Alan-sama."

"Use our carriages. If you unload your luggage and pack up instead, you will be able to ride more than 14 people. Those who ride on carriages should use bows or magic and have high defense. Magic can be used How many are you? "

"I have seventy-five people. Can you leave the selection of personnel?"

"Leave me. In addition to the carriage, make two teams of 20 people. Again, those who use bows or magic and walk in the mountains and are not too noisy are preferred."

"OK"

"The strategy is simple: the two squads make a large detour around the assault and go behind the bandits. Once the squad is in position, move on to the carriage. Start, that's it. "

"How is a signal?"

Alan looked up at the sky. Everyone looks up at the sky. Alan fired a fireball from the side, flew about 30 meters, and burst with a loud noise.

""Oh!""

"Let's signal this."

"What is it now? No, nothing."

"The detour team is commanded by Sharon and Serena, who can use detection magic."

""OK""

"People who are not part of the carriage and detour teams will wait behind the highway and rush to the scene with a signal at full speed. The strategy is over, any questions?"

Alan looks over, but seems to have no questions. Isn't there a question because it's a simple operation?

While Dalsim and Walter were selecting personnel, they were preparing to move or withdraw luggage. I'm actually trying to see how many people can get on the unloaded carriage.

"Alan-sama, the team selection is complete."

The selected people are lined up for each group. Everyone is uplifting. Alan looks at the selected team and seems to be scrutinizing.

"Good, let's go!"

Twelve people, in addition to three Shining Stars, were to enter the carriage. Finally, departure!

------

Four hours have passed since we left the campsite. The bandits were more massive than expected. Of course, if you only want to catch thieves, there will be no problem with just five Shining Stars. However, I decided to fight with everyone.

These clans are probably the core of nation building. To gain as much experience as possible, to learn and grow with us, and vice versa. We need to learn and grow from these people. However, that cannot save everyone's lives. I will always protect you.

Is it about time? Stop the carriage and get off the platform. Of course, the following stopped.

"The detour team will form a team and leave immediately."

""Roger that""

Serena and Sharon seemed to be communicating with each other by piggybacking on a carriage on board the detour team. Immediately, a group was formed and entered the mountains on both sides of the highway. Of course, the state of Yamanaka was confirmed in advance by the video of the drone. You will be able to get to the position without much difficulty.

About an hour later, Sharon and Serena told me they had arrived.

"Okay, it's good now. I'm leaving."

I drove the carriage and came to another 500 meters. Display the video taken by the drone from above in a virtual window. There are fourteen bandits on the left side of the street and fourteen on the right side. I was able to confirm that I had a chat. Naturally, it seems they have not noticed yet.

Serena and Sharon were hiding about 70 meters behind the bandits. Perhaps on the verge of breaking into bandits.

As he approached four hundred meters, he noticed the guard of a bandit climbing a tree. I'm preparing in a hurry.

Approached fifty meters. Serena and Sharon are approaching thirty meters behind the bandits.

"Fifty more, one person has a bow on the tree on the upper right. For thirty, there are five bow owners on each side."

Of course, Elna didn't show what she heard. Probably at first we will aim at us with a bow. Let's put on the bow before shooting.

Passing beneath the lookout, the bandits have begun holding their bows, but have not yet begun to pull. He had no bow on the right side where Erna was. You will probably realize that Elna is a woman.

Signaled to the sky. Along with the bang, he fired a light arrow following the five left and right bowers who were locked on. Next is a lookout on a tree. Watchmen shoot down arrows with a rifle while eating light arrows.

With the signal, everyone in the carriage group jumped out of the carriage and screamed, heading for the bandits.

Standing on the pedestal, holding a rifle and watching, but one after another, shouts can be heard from around where the bandits were hiding. It would be Serena and Sharon's detour.

Elna blows off the bandits on the highway to fight the chariot team one after another with Air Barrett. For a while, screams and anger flew around, but it seemed to have subsided and it was largely cleared.

Thieves were being kicked off the streets one after another.

"Is anyone injured?"

Calls out, but no one seems to be injured.

"Alan-sama, I got caught in an instant. I didn't have time to play an active part."

Captain Dalsim, unfortunately, is relieved that there are no injuries.

"Alan, me too. I'm late to leave the carriage and haven't beat anybody."

Clelia seems equally dissatisfied.

"Okay, disarm the bandits and gather them in one place. Oh, don't forget to collect your bandits' weapons, belongings and money!"

Sharon and Serena also appeared on the highway, and when they heard the situation, they said that there was no problem. The detour team seems to have been able to play an active part, and a feeling of exaltation is transmitted.

"Sharon's command was wonderful. He was able to move very close to the thief just before his criminal signaled him in an exquisite time."

"What! Selina must have been better, because we were approaching as far as we could reach."

Apparently, both of them seemed to guide everyone well. The bandits must have been absorbed in the carriages and never minded their backs.

At that time, another squadron, waiting on the highway, arrived.

Bandits are stunned by the number of people surrounded. There seems to be no serious injuries that could prevent the bandits from walking, probably because they told them not to kill them as much as possible. Separate squadrons used restraints to detain thieves one after another.

"Captain Dalsim, let's go to the bandit's hideout, about four kilometers east of here. You can leave about twenty bandits on the watch. There might be something you can take out. ''

"OK"

Captain Dulsim shouted orders one after another, deciding who to take and what to leave. It seems to leave one of the active detour teams.

I went into the mountain and aimed for a hideout. In about an hour, she was near the cave, the bandit's hideout. According to the drone's multi-sensor observations, all the humans in the cave are men and roaming freely, and there is no possibility that a non-thief is trapped. Let's clear it up quickly.

"That is the bandit's hideout. There are two lookouts."

"... It certainly looks like that. What do you do?"

"There are only seven opponents. Let's get closer."

The lookout rushed in when we noticed. The cave is a dead end. The bandits have no escape. As they approach casualness, everyone enters the cave. Of course, the multi-sensory knew where the bandits were, and they gathered at the back of the cave.

He raised his hand at the end of the turn and stopped, calling out to the bandits.

"Hey! This is 80 people. Surrender calmly!"

"Uruse! Try to get a little closer! Skewer with the bow and arrow!"

It's a waste of time. I fired an air valet that was large enough to cover the entire cave, imitating Erna earlier, into the cave. This is easy because you don't have to aim.

Gya! And the dust had already danced. Oh, I didn't think about dust. Eventually the bandits were stunned or stunned as the dust subsided. Everyone who saw it jumped at the bandits one after another, and the bandits were detained.

"Don't forget to collect your money"

At the end of the cave, various wooden boxes were stacked. Well, what is there?

`` Captain Dalsim, check things and sort out what to carry. ''

"Confirmed"

Everyone opens the wooden box one after another.

"Captain! I found a box with a key!"

When I went to see Dalsim, it was a big box with a lock. The metal fittings were cut one after another when the electromagnetic blade knife was pulled out.

"Awesome!"

The contents are still Guinea. No, in addition to guinea, there are a few jewelry, necklaces and bracelets. You can see a lot of gold coins and this is a hit. This is the real thrill of bandit hunting.

"This is a great harvest!"

"Oh, it was worth coming here. Let's carry the sorted items by hand."

"Confirmed"

Commander Dalsim checks the contents of the wooden box one by one and gives instructions. Don't be afraid I don't know the value.

In the end, there wasn't anything left behind. It took about an hour to return to the highway again with the help of eighty people. However, everyone's face is bright and light. After all it is different when there is a harvest.

The collected items were loaded onto a carriage, the bandits were chained and ready to leave again.

"Good! Let's move to the campsite yesterday!"

"Oh!"

I ran a carriage and earned a considerable distance. It will be fine if you go away here.

(D-One, destroy the cave used by bandits so they can never be used again)

[OK]

"Alan, now ... didn't you hear anything?"

"No, no? I didn't hear anything."

Elna seems very deaf. Let's remember.
