Legend

It's around here, isn't it?

Bob said that at the fairy township... to be exact, it was about a twenty-minute walk from where the fog was on the outside of the fairy township.

There is nothing special about this place.

However, this is not where the orcs are based, it's where Bob encountered the orcs in the woods.

In that sense, it was only natural that there wasn't anything here.

"Wow, that's pretty close." Is the orc coming to this place?I wonder if I should let the foreman know about this... ”

When I looked at Nielsen, I thought that the orcs were not far from their home town, Fairy Home.

However, although I feel it is dangerous, I don't think I am so cut up.

There is a fog around the fairy township, and it is not easy to break through that fog.

That's why a strong man like Ray and Set couldn't do anything with a mere orc flair.

There are wolves in the fog, and if the orcs enter the fog, they will attack.

Even if we manage to break through the fog by miraculous coincidence, there are several fairy fairies in the fairy village.

Although the fairy was quite weak in the sense of physical attack, she was correspondingly strong when it came to magic.

That's how hard it would be for a mere orc to compete.

On top of that, Fairy Home still had a long way to go.

Protected by many layers, Fairy Home was a strong stronghold.

... but the fairies in that fortress didn't think about it and acted with curiosity.

"You don't have to tell me about the orcs.We're going to destroy them today....... Set, are you ready? "

Grrrr!

In Ray's words, Set leaves it to herself to snort her throat and then steps forward. And.....

Grrrrrrrrrrrrr!

Use the Olfactory Upsense skill to track down the remaining odor.

An enhanced olfactory rise of six levels is a gentle indication of where we need to go.

"Grrrrrrr"

Set's throat is throbbing as he turns towards Ray.

I obeyed such Setlay honestly.

"Looks like it's over there. Let's go."

"Huh? Did you really understand that now?"

Bob, I don't know how powerful Set's skill is.

Of course, I don't think I can imitate all of Set's power beyond being a griffin, but can I really get to where the orcs are now?I have doubts about it.

It's okay, it's Set.

It was Nielsen who called out to Bob.

Since Ray and Set have known each other longer than Bob, I think they understood the situation better than Bob did.

And Bob, who was kind to the fairy, was convinced by Nielsen's words.

"Okay, you just have to accept that it's Set."...... In other words, in Mr. Ray's case, would it be all right if you were Mr. Ray? "

"Hey, hey, hey."

It was Ray who unexpectedly pushed into Bob's words, but it was a fact that he was often convinced by the fact that he was actually Ray.

Beyond that, Ray has pushed into Bob, but he stops talking about the matter.

"Anyway, I'll leave it to Set."Come on, let's go....... Set, please. "

Grrrr!

In response to Ray's words, Set squeaked lightly before heading towards the dark smell of the orc.

The smell of the orcs... the smell of the body is never pleasant.

Still, Set wasn't particularly concerned because the odor of the orcs was more tolerable than the zombie-like Undead.

Ray gets a little worried as he goes through the woods of Trent.

What should I do if I encountered adventurers and demons, not monsters, while walking like this?

Normally, you won't encounter adventurers or geckos near a fairy town.

The tree is only cut from the outside of the Trent Forest, and the adventurer is also the guard of such a tree, or the guard of the birth tower or lake.

But... there are people in the world who want to make more money than others.

Anyway, as an adventurer, this torrenting forest is a special place in many ways, and I wonder if there is anything that can be sold at a high price.

Obviously, it was an act that was out of the adventurer's business... but if I made an excuse that I got lost and came looking for it, or that I got lost while looking for a tree that turns into quality wood, it would be difficult for Ray to deal with it.

I don't know if there are people who actually imitate it.

For once, Gilm had selected an adventurer who could be trusted to work with Trent's Forest.

But man is vulnerable to temptation.

Merchants, researchers, wizards, alchemists, and nobles.

There are many who are interested in this forest of Trent.

It's not like those people aren't going deeper into the Trent Forest for anything.

... but there are many animals and monsters in the Trent Forest today.

It wasn't strange that there were high ranked monsters inside, and in that sense, it was high risk high returns... In some cases, I couldn't deny the possibility of high risk claw returns.

(Decide in advance what to get, and if it's not a fair reward... honestly, I don't think it's worth the effort.)

Of course, if Duskers and the guild knew that they were imitating themselves, the adventurers would suffer great penalties.

In some cases, it's not so strange to be the head of a bounty.

Is it worth it?I didn't think so, but it was probably people.

Since he wasn't involved, he decided that it wouldn't make sense to think about the area in detail, and Ray followed Set in search of the place where the orcs were.

"Hey, Ray. What if the orc settlement is big?"In some cases, you can escape to each of them. "

It was boring to keep quiet, but Nielsen turned to Ray and asked.

Since Nielsen lived in Fairyland, she probably saw orcs in many other places, not just in the Trent Forest.

That's why I understand to some extent the trouble of orcs.

Orcs are quite smart.

If it was judged that they were the ones who could never win, it was not strange to imitate each of them to run on their own.

Instead of running in an orderly fashion, each runs in his or her own direction.

At first glance, it's disgraceful... but you know from experience that you're actually more likely to survive than retreat like an army.

In fact, it was the worst thing that could happen to Ray and Set.

If you have strong enemies... orc superior and rare species, you can fight to keep them from escaping.

With Ray and Set, you never lose a battle against a higher or rare orc.

However, if Ray and Set... more specifically, if they were to escape the moment they saw Set, Ray and Set would have to go after the orcs and attack each other.

Both Ray and Set have the strength to kill Orcs with a single blow, but it certainly takes a moment to strike.

While killing one of the orcs, the other orcs escaped.

Of course, in that case, the orcs would also act individually, and in some cases, there was a good chance that they would be attacked by other monsters in the Trent Forest.

"However, to be honest, I don't think that's the end of it."Maybe... maybe it's true, but I think Bob saw a pretty small swarm of orcs.That could be, in some cases, a few. ”

“Why do you think that?”

In Nielsen's opinion, Orcs are a large group.

Not to mention the high fertility of the orcs.

"From the current state of the Trent Forest."Each monster and animal still struggle for territory in this torrenting forest.I don't think the only place like that is going to be a big herd all of a sudden. "

Even if it doesn't turn into a big herd in this forest, it might be a big herd coming to this forest, right?

"I can't say that... but it's quite unlikely."

Towers of birth, lakes of other worlds, torrenting forests, and other spaces that connect to other worlds.

In this way, the forest of Trent is often not open to the public.

That said, I naturally kept soldiers, knights, and adventurers as my guards so that no one could enter the Trent Forest on their own.

If there were just a few monsters, or a large group of orcs you could see trying to get into the Trent Forest, you'd know right away.

After explaining that, Nielsen looks a little strange.

But you couldn't find us in the woods, could you?

"Was it because... the chief used some kind of fairy magic, or was it difficult to find because he was flying in the sky, or was there any other reason?"I don't know about that, but if you say you're a fairy, you're going to be convinced. "

Nielsen looked happy for some reason when she said that she was convinced because she was a fairy.

Nielsen would have been happy to praise them for their abilities.

Grrrr!

Ray was talking, but suddenly Set's voice stopped him.

Following Set's stare, Ray was able to spot an orc in the woods.

There were about ten of them.

Even though Ray didn't know if this was all of them, he probably decided that this was almost all of them, and even if there were a few others, it would be all of them.

(This is how it is, after all)

Ray is delighted that the prediction was made.

If you were an adventurer around here, it would be a little hard to get rid of a dozen orcs on your own.

However, it was not so difficult to defeat about ten orcs if you tried to be as good as Ray.

Not to mention that not only Ray, but also my partner Set was here, as well as Nielsen, who was good at auxiliary magic, and Bob, who had a bow that could attack from a distance.

... but Bob wasn't very motivated.

Bob, who understands his strengths, doesn't want to fight the orcs.

If this is a pig or a deer, I would gladly shoot an arrow.

Or if there was only one orc, Bob would still be able to handle it.

But there were ten of them.

It's not a very strong opponent, but it's out of Bob's hands.

"What are you going to do?" Would you like to leave? "

Ray couldn't understand what Bob was talking about at first.

Ray, I don't know why you're choosing to leave in this situation.

And if you ask Bob, you don't know why you're questioning the option of retreating in this situation.

It is probably because both parties do not fully understand each other's strengths that the situation has become like this.

“I'm not going back. Ten or twenty Orcs, nothing strong for me or Set.It's just... yes. I forgot that Bob was a hunter.This is my mistake, isn't it? "

If Bob had been an adventurer, he could have taken Ray's word for it.

But Bob wasn't an adventurer.I am only a hunter.

Besides, even if I couldn't understand Ray's behavior here, I couldn't help it.

"So, Bob, stay out of sight."Then you'll be relieved, won't you? "

"Are you seriously trying to fight?"That's the number, isn't it? "

"There's no problem with that number."... anyway, don't worry, you'll see. "

In response to Ray's words, Bob gave a worried expression.

If Bob had the strength to understand his opponent, he could trust Ray's words to be true.

But unfortunately, Bob didn't have that kind of power.

I was wondering if I could trust Ray's words as a result....

“Bob, don't worry. If anything happens, I'll protect Ray and the others."

When Nielsen says that, Bob is convinced.

I don't believe what I'm saying. Why?and Ray were slightly dissatisfied.
