Legend

"Hey, Ray. Yesterday was a long time ago."

Such a voice can be hung to Ray walking with Seto as he progresses through the Seremouth Plains.

Turning to a familiar voice, there was an elk figure there with a giant Battleax as a trademark.

"I mean, there's a guy who doesn't care that I'm assigned to the front line, and that's it.... If my name had sold like an elk, I would have had no problem... no, was there a problem"

Ray sighs as he returns his words to the elk.

In the first place, Renojis has become involved in Ray, not because he has no strength to be assigned a front line to Ray that is close to anonymous if he looks around the entire kingdom of Mireana anyway, if only from the heart and on the periphery. No, or maybe there were some reasons for that, but the real reason was because the presence of Ray near Elaine was an obstacle. At least that's what Ray was judging when his eyes were turned to make him feel dark, even hateful, painted jealously.

"I can sell my name, hey"

To Ray's words, an elk looking around.

In that gaze are those entrusted with the leadership of the Neutralists. It is true that there are many well-known adventurers and knights, but naturally the majority of those numbers are soldiers and few well-known exist.

Especially to the adventurers entrusted with working as a guerrilla army, there are not so many known adventurers hired by other neutrals, regardless of who come from the city of Gilm. Still, given that the lowest rank is D, I guess it's enough as a force of war.

An adventurer barely seconded from a labyrinth city would have comparable combat power to an adventurer in the city of Gilm, but I don't know when a monster will overflow from the labyrinth due to the labyrinth city having labyrinths all over the city as its name suggests. Therefore, the reality was that fewer troops were being dispatched than Gilm, so the number itself was not as high.

"It's like a job for the nobles to think about things that are difficult. Don't worry too much. Do you understand better than that when it comes to war procedures?

I look around, and my gaze is gathered with the effect that I am an axe of Rank A Party Thundergod, but ignoring that, Elk turns to Ray walking next door.

The adventurer talking to Elk will naturally gather his gaze on Ray as well, but the gaze that can be directed at Ray is already stronger now because he knows his name undeniably about the item box and the fact that he has already taken Seto with him, and even more so about the fact that he had a one-horse discussion with the nobility the day before.

"Grrrrrrrr?"

It doesn't matter to Seto if it sounds small and stands on Ray walking next door, rubbing his head.

Open your mouth to remind me a little while I stroke Seto's head like that.

"Sure, we'll have each other's armies facing each other first. So, representatives of each army made a surrender recommendation to each other around the center, rejecting it. The battle then begins after the delegate returns to the army.... Am I wrong?

"No, well, you're not wrong. Representation has many other fine practices, such as putting it out of the front line, but only the nobles need to know about it. The only thing we need to know is that we're actually fighting a lot of shit."

"Well, I'm not interested in a detailed exchange once I'm out of this group before I get to the battlefield."

To the explanation that came out of Ray's words, I guess Elk also remembered a story heard directly from Dusker. He turns his gaze toward Ray without curiosity being suppressed.

"Oh, I'm listening. But can you really use extensively annihilating magic like you were listening to? Sure, if what Uncle Larks told me is true, we can definitely take the lead and attract the flow of battle..."

"Once it's been experimented, I'll take care of that area. And even if the way I'm trying to do it fails, there's still magic that works quite extensively."

Ray tells with a smile on his face. What was floating behind that brain was the magic of 'fire elite chaos'. Although it does not extend to the fire whirlwind Ray is after in the sense of the range of effects, its power is by no means inferior to the fire whirlwind phenomenon. No, I'm more likely to be winning when it comes to power just because I'm limiting the range of effects.

"Well, if you're so confident, we don't have to worry about it either."

Turning to the familiar voice that had suddenly interrupted Ray's conversation with Elk, there was a face there that I naturally just saw.

"Mileyne."

"What, am I not supposed to be here? Hey, Seto. Even though the place Seto's in is where I am."

He tells Ray dissatisfied and at the next moment he hugs him to Seto, who was walking nearby.

I'm just in the middle of a march, so I guess it's Mileine's love for Ceto that hasn't imitated him completely keeping his weight and getting in Ceto's way.

"Sorry for the inconvenience"

From behind such a milanese, a middle-aged man with a cane calls out. At the same time, Ray and the girl with a bow about the middle of her teens, not so old, were looking sorry to bow their heads.

"No, you don't have to worry about it. Was it incorporated into the front line? He's a wizard, so aren't the front lines going to be in the back row, even the front lines?

To Ray's question like that, a middle-aged wizard...... Sulnin, who is also a Rank C Party burning wind stopper, smiles bitterly and shakes his head.

"Even when it comes to wizards, one way or another, because mid-range magic is the main thing. The guards are the ones who specialize in magic from a distance."

"So, I can't be the only guard at the same party more than Mr. Mileyne and Mr. Sulnin are coming over here."

That's what Ekril, the archer girl, adds with a grin.

"It's usually party-by-party. I guess it's unusual to break up with the avant-garde and the rear guard in a party like we did."

Hearing Elk's words, Ray nods again as he was convinced.

Soldiers have a defined role in the unit that shoots the bow and is entrusted with the avant-garde, and they have been training for each of those units.

But the Adventurer is different: the avant-garde and the rear guard are divided in one party, and the division of roles in the conduct of combat operations is complete within that party.

You won't be able to work with the others first by deliberately breaking up such a party and separating it from the avant-garde unit, the rear guard unit. For this reason, those who are basically partying will be assigned to the avant-garde or the rear guard on a party-by-party basis.

Unlike the most thunderous god axe, it would be a different story if it were judged possible to be active enough as a solo.

(Thinking about it, I guess solos are easy to sort out. I'm acting alone.... No, on the contrary, are you accustomed to that for the minute you are acting alone and could be deficient in working with other people? I guess that's basically why adventurers are guerrilla troops)

If you think of it that way, eventually you'll see a little miscellaneous forest in the direction of your progress.

The trees are not so dense that they grow, but to such an extent that you can't see what's going on inside them.

It was where Ray was meant to be.

"Seto"

"Gru."

To Ray's call, Seto answers by ringing his throat.

The elks and the scorching winds must have found out here that Ray and Seto would take a different course of action. He nods small and calls me to work hard.

"Seto, be careful. Don't get hurt or anything. If anything happens, you can shield Ray and try to escape. Ray, don't bother Seto."

I smile bitterly at Mileyne, who openly calls out a different attitude to Seto and Ray, and still nods small that it's something I'm already used to.

"Leave it to me. In the first place, there's no way you're going to get attacked by something like this."

"So that was after all the fighting started. Okay? Let Seto see if you're hurt because of Ray's carelessness. I'll pay you back exactly what I owe you."

(Sounds like Mileyne is Seto's partner.)

Even so, I know how Mileyne is getting into Ceto, so I'll just nod without saying anything more, especially.

"Look, Mileyne. Don't bother Mr. Ray too much. In the first place, the war is about to begin, so no one can be guaranteed absolute safety."

"Oh, hey, sulnine. Don't pull it! I have a noble mission to protect Seto!

"At all, do you really understand that we're going to fight? I understand what Mr. Mileyne thinks about Seto, but even half of it, please be careful about the safety of the party."

Sulnin pulls Mileyne's arm and leaves in front of Ray as Ekril pushes from behind.

Even though Elk is waving as hard as he can, Ray also waves back and leaves the advance troops straight for the grove.

Naturally some people looked at Ray's behavior in such a strange way, but if they saw Ray with Griffon, they would have decided that there was some special reason. Ray and Seto arrive into the groves without being able to speak out about anything in particular.

"Well, all you have to do later is wait for the war to start against each other on the Seremouth Plains.... okay, Seto. Our goal is to strike a pre-emptive blow against the enemy, which is also as deadly as we can. For this reason, I use a combination technique that causes a fire whirlwind that Seto and I have worked together to create. You know that, right?

"Grrrrrrrr"

Ray strokes his head with a grin on Seto, who just nods to leave it to him.

"Anyway, as you can see from what happened in the city of Gilm, this war is dangerous in many ways. It's definitely not as regular an invasion as the Kings think it is at least. But they won't listen to me no matter how many times I say it. So it's up to us in the front line to do as much damage as we can to the Vestian Imperial Army and decide to fight all at once. Hopefully, that's just for today... no, this war will be over in a matter of hours"

"Gru."

How about explaining to the nodding Seto that it took him nearly half a month to get here and then the war ends in a few hours or so? And in my heart, I thought it was Ray, but because that's not why I want to kill people, it was a decision that both armies would have no problem if there was less damage.

At the end of the gaze of the Rays lurking in the woods, all the neutrals pass by, and eventually the nobles begin to pass by.

Most of them go unaware of Ray and Seto lurking in the woods, but one of the horseman soldiers who was moving closer to the front line among the aristocrats entrusted with the front line turned his gaze into the woods.

A small dragon stops on the shoulder of its horseman, luxurious blonde hair that at the same time falls zero from the helmet he is wearing, and a vertical roll of hair. And the beauty of attracting the beholder and not stopping him, and the proposition that even beyond the armor could tell, was a true representation of who the person was. It would also prove that a female knight who is equally spanning to horseback riding next to it carries a giant Battleax.

"... Elaine, don't die"

It was that word that squealed only in his mouth, but it definitely looked like Elaine nodded in Ray's eyes.

"No way."

But there's no way I can hear you whining from here. Having so decided, Ray decides that the nod now is only a coincidence.

And when Elaine and the others passed by, followed by a group of aristocrats passing across the jungle.

"... what?

The voice leaks out of Ray's mouth again.

The reason for this is an aristocratic force that just passed right in front of me. Because I got eyes on the person who was at the center of it. The person's name is Filma Dezier, who is spanning horseback riding with a giant halbad. He led the aristocracy in this war and served as the Knights Commander of the Knights of the Duke of Kelp. But it was only for a moment that my gaze matched. At the next moment he is taken off his gaze as if it were nothing, and he turns firmly forward and proceeds with his horseback riding. I guess the only thing that doesn't make you feel anything like nervousness or fear is just who is said to be the right arm of the Duke of Kelp.

"That's right, I guess I should say. I didn't know you could spot me here in an instant.... No, they put me ahead of the line with the Neutralists. Or was Dusker asking you about the operation?

Ray strokes Seto, who still waits for time as he whines.

Then the neutrals, the aristocrats followed by the Kings also pass in front of Ray's hidden groves.

It appeared to be the most numerous of the three factions of the Royal Mireana Army, whose formation was even large and heavy.

The movement is dull due to the large number of people, but it will be difficult to stop that army once it has moved out instead. It emits an atmosphere that even makes Ray think so.

And for a large number of people, it seems that there are quite a few of those standing up in arms, and some were sending a surprising glance into the hidden groves of Ray and Seto.

There is no such thing as being able to capture the signs of Ray firmly, but nevertheless it seems there were those who could feel something in the woods.

Thus, after spending several hours, leaving behind a minimum of battle power to defend the position and seeing the battlefield on the Seremus Plains headed towards the midpoint, Ray and Seto waited for contact to arrive ready to move on to the next action.
