Legend

Clouds are out, nights like blocking the moonlight. Such a night raid was dispersed in the darkness of just the right night, and each face of the Oak Crusaders was attached to their own placement.

Each party is consolidated in eight locations: north, northeast, east, southeast, south, southwest, west and northwest, mainly in the Oak settlement.

As for the operation described by Bobbs, the Thunder God axe strikes flashly from east of the vigilant settlement for what the settlement is still about to make. And when reinforcements headed there, the party elsewhere attacked them from the thinner spot.

Naturally, there were some opinions that the first thundergod axe to attack would be the most intense war zone with the orcs concentrating their attacks, but the other parties were convinced by Elk's phrase, "Trust us, the A-rank party," which leads the thundergod axe. Convincing everyone with that one word can be said to be a testament to their previous achievements and their strength.

And Ray's rep was an assault using Seto's mobility, which is a griffon, not any of the eight locations.

"Seto, it's time. Are you ready for this?

"Gru."

In the darkness, Seto rings briefly as he exposes himself to the slight moonlight that really pours only thin thanks to the clouds.

Initially, a griffon with an eagle's upper body wouldn't help you at night? There was also an opinion that the problem was eliminated when Ray testified that he was seeing properly when he spent the night in the Devil's Forest.

"Orcs, your lives end here today. Me and Seto will feed you and disappear."

Ray murmured so much, almost at the same time as a few lightning bolts flashly descended east of the Oak settlement. It's the magic of Ming, the Axe Wizard of Thunder God.

"Has it started? Seto, it's not the oak we're after, it's the top species of the oak, General, Magee and Archer. And the number one target is the individual who leads these orcs."

"Grr!"

On the ground, we could see a group of orcs rushing into a sudden raid but to some extent being organized and heading east. And as if to poke that gap, other parties are breaking in from all parts of the settlement and attacking from behind the orcs heading east.

Seeing those actions from above, look for the target…

"Ouch!"

Ray's eyes spot five oak archers squeezing their bows from the southwest to an adventurer party attacking the oaks. Sometimes it's an ambush in the dark, and even on the adventurer's side, they don't realize they're being targeted with bows.

"Seto!"

"Grr!"

To Ray's sharp cry, Seto also sounds sharply again and plunges to the ground. That's exactly what the Raptors thought when they were after their prey.

The arrow released from the oak archer penetrates the left foot of the man who was behind the adventurer party, penetrates the torso and penetrates the right arm. Should I say luck in misfortune, the two remaining arrows are off the adventurer and pierced to the ground. The adventurer, who ate three arrows in his body, fell to the ground, and his fellow adventurer hurriedly dragged the man into the shadows. The oak archers who saw it were unhappy that they couldn't finish it, and the adventurers were shooting massive arrows into hidden shadows one after another.

If this were an adventurer using a bow, he would immediately move away from the scene and look for his next prey, repositioning himself to a position where he could aim for a hidden prey and then shooting an arrow in again.

Because this settlement is the settlement of the oaks, and the interest of the land lies with the oaks. Failure to use it has drastically reduced the power of the orcs. I guess it's a testament to the fact that this area is an orc, even though it's a superior species.

And the presence of an archer is difficult to cope with when approached close to the weapon. Hence.

"Ha!

Jumping off a steep descending ceto, the momentum is also used to shake down the magical death size. Orcs targeted by Ray were slaughtered by Tangbamboo without even knowing what had happened to him, and fell to the ground, left and right, separately. The vivid sound of Gusha would be the sound of an oak gut falling zero from the severed area and being slapped to the ground.

Also next to it, Seto, who had fallen sharply, was shaking down his hook paws as his momentum continued to crush Oak Archer's head.

Ray, who made a chilling confirmation that the oak archer who lost his head would fall to the ground with the sound of Dosha, cut up from bottom to top aiming at one of the oak archers who still didn't understand what was going on from the state where he left his death size swinging down.

At the same time, Seto, who lands on the ground, rolls out a couch and puts a sharp hole in the oak's throat, waving his forefoot hook paw at the next moment, causing his torso to burst.

"Bumowo!?

It was Oak Archer who became the last one and finally realized they were being attacked, but all he could do was raise his voice of confusion. In the next moment its neck falls to the ground beautifully severed by a death-size wielded directly beside it. And a few seconds later, Oak Archer's body collapsed to the ground, bleeding out of his neck, as if he finally understood he was losing his head.

"Seto, is there anybody else?

"Grrrrrrrr"

Ray calls out to Seto, who was defeating his surroundings, but Seto shakes his head small and sideways. Seeing that, Oak Archer, who was here, decides he's cleaned up, and quickly stores Oak Archer's body and bow and arrow into the mistering.

"Ray, thank God."

It was one of the Crusaders, the leader of a party that had been attacked earlier by Oak Archer, who came to voice at the same time as the storage was over.

As it is, Oak Archer has stopped me and I can't move, so I guess he came running into the gap where the arrow attack closed. Behind the leader follows one typical light warrior armed with a sword and leather armor.

"What happened to the other one?

"Recover the man who was shot in the bow."

"Is there enough potion?

"Oh, we're on time enough with the supplies we received"

Potions, mana potions, etc. stored in the mysteries have been distributed to each party before nightfall. I guess the other one is using that to treat it.

"What happened to Oak Archer's body?

The warrior behind the leader asks in wonder. Surely you'd find it strange that there's no body of the monster you should have defeated.

"I put it in the item box and collected it. It's a superior species of oak. You should try not to rub it later."

"Well, I guess so"

The warrior nods and the leader agrees.

"Well, I'll be back in the air, checking on the other parties, and then we'll go on a rampage."

"Oh, okay. Thanks for your help this time."

"Never mind, this is work too"

Gently return to the leader and cross over into Seto's back.

"Seto"

"Gru!"

Wings winged with a few steps of help, trying to kick air and ascend to the sky.

"They're making a lot of noise."

"Gru."

What Ray saw rising above is a flame burning up in several parts of the settlement. I guess the flaming magic someone used spread to the Oak residence. And with that light, it was possible enough for Ray to grasp the battlefield.

"Hmm?"

And Ray, who was looking at the ground using the burning lights as a light source, notices an adventurer party heading to a digging cabin in the north.

I guess I headed to help a woman caught for breeding by an oak that turned out to be a reconnaissance.

Unfortunately, however, the orcs who had been in the cabin came out in a bowl and naturally developed into a battle.

The adventurer in charge of the north side is a party of three. In contrast, there are 5 oaks. One of them is also bigger in stature than the others and wears armor. It's the superior species, Oak General.

"You don't have to abandon me, do you?"

Plus, it's a fact that anger against orcs exists in me to see how the day goes. You can let me clear that depression here.

Having so decided, Ray shows the next battlefield to Seto with a belligerent grin.

"Seto, there's next."

"Gru!"

Seto follows Ray's words and descends similarly earlier to the scene of a battle between three and five men. Then, at a lower altitude to a position of about 10 m above, Ray jumps off Seto's back, activates a pair of Slapenil shoes that can walk in the air, and falls toward Oak General, which is giving instructions to four oaks from the rear with the Death Size standing.

"Bumo!?

That should be the upper species, or Oak General, who realizes something is approaching him with the sound of Ray descending, reflexively putting the great sword that was on his hips overhead.

Surely normal would have been enough. Ray's target, Oak General, has a sword big enough to say it's a great sword. Most weapons would have been easy to prevent. But...

"Don't think that will prevent my attacks!

Shaken down is Death Size. Reaper's Sickle. It is a magic item created by materializing Ray's immense magic as a by-product of Warcraft. And the effect is to increase the sharpness of the sickle through magic, or that the death size weighing more than 100 kg can only be felt to be about the weight of chopsticks, which weigh more than 100 kg, with even more magic. What happens if you take the blow that was waved like that with a weapon that is not a magic item or anything but a great sword? The answer was in front of Ray now.

The swinging death size cuts off the sword raised overhead without any resistance, cutting off the helmet that seems to be made of the skin of some kind of monster, and also cutting its head and torso with every piece of armor, the death size is tapped to the ground, creating a crater about 2m radius by blowing up a lot of earthen smoke in the noise and surroundings.

"Bumowo!?

What the orcs, who turned around with that sound, saw was the figure of their own commander, who fell left or right after being turned into two pieces of armor in the centre of the crater.

And there's no way Seto, who came down after Ray from above, missed the orc gap that stopped him from moving in surprise. Just like when we ambushed the oak archer earlier from above, the sharp hook paw is shaken by the combined force of the velocity of the fall and Seto's own power, crushing the head of the oak.

"Now, do it!

Ray's voice screamed sharply, and the adventurers who returned to me attacked the orcs watching the Rays from behind.

Avant-garde swords and spears. A party of three with a rear guard in the bow instantly lets one die by swinging the sword down to the back of the oak, and an arrow released from the bow pierces the back of the oak continuously, and an adventurer with a spear to the back of the oak who is enduring that pain sticks out the spear with his full strength and destroys its head.

"Bumo!"

Our leader, Oak General, was lightly killed, and even a warcraft named Griffon showed up and attacked us. And as if to poke that gap, the humans who had fought until earlier attacked from behind, and the only person left was themselves. Orc, who understood it, decides he has no winning chance of fighting. Throwing the sword toward Ray, which he held without even showing a bare gesture to fight, he fled at first sight.

Those were the adventurers who tried to chase the oak, but Ray, who slashed and dumped the thrown sword in Death Size, stops it.

"Leave him alone."

"Why! That oak!

Ray grins furiously at the voice of an adventurer with a spear. The adventurers who saw it felt something pressurizing for a moment, but still wanted to know why they missed the oak, so they set a strong gaze on Ray.

"Anyway, all the orcs in this settlement are gonna die tonight. It's just the difference between being quick or slow."

The words, rather than the force of Ray, silence the adventurers.

"Besides, your goal is not to kill that orc, but to liberate the woman caught in that cabin, right?

"... oh. It sure is."

A man with a sword nods. If you look closely, the man is the face you saw at Bobbs' meeting. I guess he's the leader of this party.

"Then I'll leave it to you regarding that cabin. Let me evacuate under Bobbs. From above, there are few enemies around here. Until you guys come back, I'll be the one dealing with the orcs here."

"Sorry, I asked for it"

Three people head down small and head to the cabin. Ray accidentally sighed as he dropped off that back.

Originally, rescuing a woman caught in that cabin was to be done after the Orc crusade was over. But seeing the settlement burning, those three must have decided it was dangerous to leave it like this. Besides, Orcs are intelligent enough to act collectively. Perhaps there was an idea that it would be troublesome if even hostages were held hostage at times of need.

That's how the men show up from the cabin in minutes or so when you're on guard around with Seto.

There are two women with them, one of whom Ray sees in the daytime as a gutter but manages to walk on his own feet. But the other one couldn't even stand on his own already, or was carried by a man with a spear.

"Then I'll ask you here for a little while. I'll be back as soon as I can."

"Oh."

It was Ray and Seto exchanging words briefly with the party leader and dropping off three people heading outside the settlement.
