Legend

Ray escaped the falling earth dome. The dome of dirt crumbled in a literal sense in front of such a ray, and the sight would at the same time greatly lower the morale of the soldiers of the Bestian Imperial Army who were in the vicinity...... especially those directly under General Castom.

The dome of dirt in General Castom's cage, which commands them, was destroyed, and Ray was the only one who came out of it. It will be easy to think about what happened inside.

As a matter of fact, Ray had already been wiped out by the outburst of Behemoth's bracelet, including General Castom, when he broke inside, but there is no way that the soldiers of the Bestian Imperial Army could have known about it.

"Ca, General Castom!?

"Hey, General Castom must have been in there!?

"Ah, oh. I bet..."

In a rapidly spreading mess, one horse approached Ray. Confirming the appearance of Siminar leading the ambush squad over its military horse, Ray exhales in relief.

It was unexpected that General Castom, who was also a target at the end of his entry into the earth dome, was only bone and skin dead, because he was wondering whether it was okay to keep raising his winning name. Given the likelihood that he would be perjured when he raised his winning name and did anything with his neck again, it was a boat for Ray to cross that Siminar came here.

"Ray, what the hell is going on with this noise? Did General Castom discuss it?

Around the collapsed earth dome, the movement is stopped by the impact of the soldiers of the Bestian Imperial Army. But a little further afield, the battle between the ambush and the soldiers who were still defending the main force continues. It was a questioning of Ray, who decided that he needed to stop this fight as soon as possible if he wanted to target General Castom, but what came back to it was a strange thing called Ray tilting his neck.

If there had been a Ceto on this spot who was wary of the perimeter, he would probably have leaned his neck just like Ray.

"... what's going on? Seeing the dirt dome crumble, it must have been a success to get inside, huh?

"Oh, that's for sure. But by the time I walked in, all the people who were already inside had died of bones and skin."

"What?"

"Probably, but some kind of magic item went wild. It was so dry that I couldn't tell which body was doing it with General Castom. Or maybe a trap that makes you look dead...... what do you do?

If you ask me that, there's nothing a siminar can do. No, sometimes I haven't seen the situation inside Ning Ro with my own eyes and there will be extra applause for the confusion.

"I don't care what they say we do... in the meantime, this report was certain that General Castom was in the dome of the dirt, so why don't we give him a name for picking it up?

"... me, huh?

Siminar nods at Ray, who asked him unexpectedly.

"Naturally. It's true that Ray broke the earth dome."

"... you should stop that"

Turning to all two voices interrupting there, it was the two expected people who were at the source of the voice.

"Lord Elaine, you seem to be safe. Above all. No, I didn't think General Princess could handle this level of battle..."

A siminar that separates words and once again looks at Elaine.

What Elaine wears is a pure white half-plate armor, which naturally comes with dirt that starts to return blood if she's in this riot, but it doesn't have any dirt on it. His own wounds and returned blood were not even attached to things like dust or dust.

That's due to the effect of armor, which is also a magic item, but Siminar, who doesn't know it, sees the faces of Majesty and Elaine, and the emotion of love springs up and dyes her face thin and red.

Open your mouth out loud so as to mislead it.

"More than that, why are you opposed to letting Ray raise the name that took over General Castom? The Bestian Imperial Army won't stop fighting until they know their general is dead."

"You would have listened to Ray, wouldn't you? We need to be able to tell it's General Castom. In other words, it is possible that someone will come out after the war to say that this is not General Castom. That's for the Royal Mireana Army, too. At any rate, Ray is an adventurer hired by the neutral Lord Dusker, with an item box, who has dealt a heavy blow to the leading forces of the Bestian Imperial Army in this war, helping Count Arius, who was ambushed, and so much more. Probably not to the extent that Ray's name is listed as a candidate, if you ask him who's the best in this war."

I guess Ray's name is only a candidate here because he's still only an adventurer. Even though his name is sold in the city of Gilm, where he is said to follow the Griffon and gather the most elite adventurers, and he has driven up to Rank C at the fastest speed, the adventurer is still only the adventurer. Or if this is a Rank A or S adventurer, I guess it's something else.

"Only Ray like that would probably be buying quite a bit of grudge before he even knew it himself. That's not enough to be immediately attacked if there's any loss. If you're told that you took out General Castom, and the body that was sent out is indistinguishable from him, it would be a one-of-a-kind opportunity."

The face of Renodis, who listened to Elaine and had been entangled before the war began, passes behind Ray's brain.

(If you do have a personality like that, you're going to think of it as a problem if I show a gap.)

Convinced of smudging, Ray nods like he agrees.

"Then what do you want me to do? You can't keep fighting like this until one of us is completely destroyed, can you? And don't forget the possibility that reinforcements are headed this way from the front."

"Of course I know. Besides, I don't have the hobby to create a useless dead man. Therefore…"

Elaine turns her gaze to Siminar with meaning and concern.

I don't suppose he has any interest in it, but his gaze close to the stream was powerful enough to increase Siminar's palpitations.

"Hey, what? What's wrong with me?

"... I see"

Ray also sees and understands the siminar ahead of Elaine's gaze.

"Like, I stand out in this war because I can't name any more handles. I mean, if the Kings are going to name a few, there's absolutely nothing wrong with that."

"Hey, dude. I mean, are you telling me to lay off Ray's handle!?

So far the story has progressed, and I guess I finally understood the flow of the story to Siminar as well. Raise your voice in amazement.

But Ray and Elaine nodded without being surprised by it.

"Ray here is hired by the neutral Dusker lord. Nobility even to me. Then all that remains of this occasion will be Lord Siminar of the Kings."

"No, but Ray's destruction of the dirt dome has been seen by the Bestian Imperial Army, right? The same goes for the ambush squad. Even so, can you admit it's my feat?

"This is interesting. Do the Kings have the power to make white black or just black white? Besides, rather than disparaging Ray, who is only an adventurer for the Kings, shouldn't we assume that the Kings themselves have disputed the General of the Vestian Imperial Army?

"... that's true..."

Siminar understands that the advantages and disadvantages of Elaine's words are indeed greater. Nor is it just a benefit for the Kings. The benefits of Ray not having to buy grudge and jealousy for his own personal benefit. And...

(It's the advantage of Lord Elaine that Ray doesn't remember the annoyance, you don't hate, do you?)

He whines inside, exhales loudly and nods.

"Okay. Surely all that would fit better in circles. It's not a bad idea to name a handful in this situation where even I am being made into the mainstream of the Kings"

To that word, Ray and Elaine exhale in relief.

This was the honest thought of the two of us not to get caught up in useless troubles.

Most importantly, regardless of Elaine, who is an aristocrat and builds her position as a princess general, Ray cites a large number of handles, even if she leaves out her biggest handles of taking over the enemy general, so she can definitely direct black emotions such as jealousy and jealousy. Still, it was Ray's decision that it was a lot better than when he had even taken the general as his own.

(Or the possibility of smaller jealousy or something, mistakenly assuming that the Kings' Siminar has embezzled their handles...)

I thought with my heart as I turned my gaze toward the rear of the Siminar, which is heading towards the dome of the earth, but the next moment past my head was for some reason the nobleman Renodis, not the Kings.

Because I thought that a man of that character wouldn't imitate himself once and for all by putting his hands on his enemies. No, there's a good chance he's going to chase you as Ning Ro Happy.

"Well, if that happens, Elaine will do something about it."

I guess I heard that whining. Remarkable for her beauty in attracting the same seers, Elaine turns her gaze to Ray.

"What's wrong with you?

"No, I thought I'd ask Elaine to help me if I got into trouble."

"... whenever I can help, I can help."

"Gru."

Just don't forget yourself, I rub my head against Ray as Seto rang that was getting closer at some point.

As I stroke its head, my voice is quickly echoing from the dome of dirt.

"The General of the Vestian Imperial Army, General Castom, of the Kingdom of Mireana, was taken over by Siminar Gupsos!

to the surroundings...... no, on the contrary, a voice sounds as if it could be heard by all who are near the main formation, cheering from one side and moaning from the other.

With that look sideways, Ray was silently turning his gaze toward the collapsed earth dome.

Neither are we praying for the blessings of those, including General Castom, nor are we happy that the war is over, nor are we giving thought to those who have died in this war. No, of course it's not that I don't have any such feelings, but Ray's current emotions were somewhere else. That is...

(magic item that created that earth dome...... you wanted it)

This was it. Of course, it is a clear disadvantage to allow or gradually absorb the magic of those around us. But it has the ability to create a powerful soil dome that won't collapse even if it takes Ray's blow if it overcomes its shortcomings. As for Ray, who has a hobby for collecting magic items that can be used in action, he could naturally have wanted them.

(Making high-performance magic items naturally requires high alchemy skills. If you think about it, you might want to go to the Bestian Empire once)

Ray thought so in his heart, but he was very prominent in what could be described as overwhelming activity in this war, and was given the alias Deep Red by the Bestian Imperial Army. There was no doubt that such a ray would have been a big deal in many ways if he had gone to the Bestian Empire.

"Ray...... Ray! Are you hearing my voice!?

Ray, who was immersed in his thoughts, realizes when he came back, that Siminar stands in front of him.

"Hey, bad. I was just thinking. So, what's going on?

"Ha, I know you've been busy with a lot of things in this war, but just try harder. I want you to tell Count Arius that I took care of General Castom. The fastest leg of all this is Seto, right?

"Gru!"

Exactly! Seto thrusting his chest and throat all the time.

It was surrounded by some soothing atmosphere surrounded by such a seto look, but I guess I remembered that the battle was still going on on on the front line. Immediately each moves into action. Siminar assembled the remaining ambush troops, Elaine assembled and disarmed the captives, and Ray rode Seto under Arius.

"... apparently the main unit has fallen"

Frontiers where the Bestian Imperial Army and the Royal Mireana Army are engaged in fierce fighting. In it, Gilgoth, who is gathering the Warcraft soldiers, tells Theorem.

Hearing the words, Theorem smiles thinly as he instructs the Warcraft soldiers to turn to the left wing of the enemy.

"Well, what happened to our general?

"Unfortunately, he's dead."

"Right."

Theorem in a nutshell finishes the death of the general, but the reaction was to that extent more than Kastom's death had originally been planned. But I frown small on the next word.

"Apparently, General Castom died involved in a rampage of magic items handed to him by the Ministry of Magic, not by his enemies."

"... that's not very funny. Regardless of what the enemy has done to you, the magic items given to you by the Ministry of Magic..."

At the end of his sight, the alien Centaur with the upper body of the lion and the lower body of the horse penetrates from the flank of the Royal Mireana Army into chaos, where the rest of the Warcraft soldiers are attacking to make the wedge holes worn larger. But the face of Theorem who sees it never seems happy.

A magic ministry close to Merclio, the third prince. If General Castom were to die in a rampage of magic items handed over by that Ministry of Magic, then naturally the eyes of suspicion would be directed at the Third Prince's Theorem.

And it was a headache for Theorem that the suspicion wasn't necessarily wrong. Because I knew the ambush unit of the Royal Mireana Army was after the main army and left it there.

"Dear Theorem, the matter is also important, but I was wondering if I should consider withdrawing now"

"Right. As it stands, reports of the death of the general come in, and this morale will decrease, and the morale will improve over there?"

Nodding, Theorem began to give instructions to withdraw.
