Legend

Evelogi is unintentionally breathtaking at that sight taking place at the end of his sight.

I was an advance team assuming there was some kind of trap, but that was just too much of my own thinking... no, it was about my desire to be.

But what turned out to be out of common sense was that someone who looked like one child coming out of a carriage would take the spear out of nowhere, throw it, pierce or grind Evelogi's men.

"Or head. You should go help..."

Some people opened their mouths like that toward Evelogi, but those who said it were all they could do was move their mouths, and they were not able to actually run their horses to help them.

Compared to other bandits who still can't move one, you could have said they have enough guts in them.

Some bandits, who are unilaterally attacked by Ray, have bows.

You could have said that bows were more than a necessity than an act of chasing a fleeing merchant, a merchant squad, or a traveler.

But the sight that is now playing at the end of Evelogi's gaze is being unilaterally attacked from outside the range of the bow due to the even simplistic act of throwing a spear.

Should I go help?

I thought that for a moment to my men's words. It was Evelogi, but I immediately shake my neck to the side to deny it.

Already at the end of his gaze, a fifth bandit had been speared through the pigeon tail with each leather armor and had collapsed to the ground.

We have 20 horsemen left except for the first.

There are other infantry soldiers, but given that they are also unilaterally attacked in cavalry, it was a fall to wipe them out before they even approached, no matter what.

Furthermore... a decisive event occurs in front of the Eveloges hiding in the woods.

"Grrrrrrrrrr!"

Its presence descended from the sky like a meteor, and it landed on the earth, and it roared.

For Evelogi, the person you never want to be hostile to. Griffon, a Rank A monster known as the Reaper of the Sky.

The moment I hear the roar released from its mouth, the movement of the rest of the bandits who were ahead of Evelogi's gaze stops.

I didn't know the exact reason why it happened that way, but it's still not that hard to determine that the current roar has anything to do with it.

If we stay here, we'll get ourselves caught.

Evelogi, who makes quick decisions in the back of his brain, gives instructions to his men.

"Whoa, we're just getting out of here. If we stay here forever, we're gonna get hit by that Griffon."

"Ke, but head. Those guys..."

"If you want to go help, do it yourself. I'm not going. How are you gonna get them out of here? Are you also confident you won't hit that spear?

"It's..."

You can't be so confident.

If that's all there is to it, then I guess I would have made a fortune being an adventurer instead of being part of a bloody blade.

"Let's go."

That's all I throw up short and go into the woods on the spot.

It is likely that they will be aware of their existence, but still decide that they will not be able to come after them more than they need to capture the bandits who are still alive.

(Damn, I didn't know I could do this so overwhelmingly. It may be okay now, but there's plenty of chance they'll come after us. Better pull it out of here as soon as possible)

Even for Evelogi, I expected about a few people to be captured or killed, but still it was unexpected that 10 of the advance troops were captured or killed without being able to do anything.

(... you monster)

It was Evelogi who was far away that I could see what Ray had done.

An attack that just left the spear you took out of nowhere to your arm to throw.

But the strength of his arm leads to a bloody blade that is not even close to him.

Correct monster.

If it's so monstrous, it's not surprising that Evelogi created the tornado of flames he saw on the battlefield.

(No, I guess I should say I was lucky I had to wear out about 10 people in Ningro. Fortunately, with the money I earned here, I can afford 10 or 20 of the horses)

Forced to convince himself, he moves toward Azit, behind the woods.

But... Evelogi wasn't aware of it at this time. That I encountered Ray on this occasion proved my own bad luck, and at the same time that I was about to run out of my own bad luck.

On the other hand, away from such bandits, Ray had tied up the bandits, who had been unable to move because of the intimidation of Seto's king, with ropes that had been removed from the mysteries.

"Is this what it is? That's it, right?

"Ah, yes. Helpful. I think this will add up to some.... but can I get all the bandits' stature and horses over here?

"No problem. Hand these guys over to the guards and get paid, there's gonna be a lot of procedures, and even for horses, I have a seto."

"Gru?"

I guess I noticed my name came up in Ray's words. Seto tilts his neck and turns his gaze toward Ray.

In that appearance, there was no shadow at all that instantly atrophied the movements of bandits and horses with the roar raised earlier by the King's intimidation.

"Ha, that's enough. Okay."

The merchant man, who became ridiculous to be more concerned about such a seth, exhales in a small sigh and opens his teasing mouth.

"So, what are we going to do? Obviously, the number of bandits is low."

"Around..."

Make him interrogate and throw up Ajit's place. That's what Ray tried to say, stop Pickling and moving.

Because Seto suddenly turned his gaze toward the unknown.

Turning your gaze towards you, there is certainly a group of people moving towards us. I can't tell it to my face, but it's a large area of nearly 50 people, including cavalry and infantry.

In terms of numbers alone, it's about the same as the bandits that attacked us earlier.

Furthermore, it was problematic that that direction was coming from Abu Ero.

"... hey, for once, do you actually have more than one bandit group out here?

The merchant shakes his neck sideways to Ray, who asks as he strokes Seto's head.

"There's only one group that I've heard so little about. There are about 10 other people out there on a small scale... Is that a bandit?

The merchant also saw a group of bean grains the size of which was going down the street. Ask Ray if he is afraid.

"Well, I don't know. There's a group coming this way, but I don't know if that's the bandits... oh, no. That's not true."

We separated the words in the middle of the explanation because we found out who the group was going to be heading this way.

There were several familiar faces in the infantry moving ahead of the group.

Further considering that one of them is the figure of Langa, the captain of the guard, it would be obvious what kind of group it is.

"Don't worry, apparently he's not a bandit. The crusader who does something about the bandit. I have a few familiar faces."

"... is that true? Or does it go from here to facial discernment? That's amazing."

The merchant man hears that there is a familiar face in it that still only looks like a bunch of bean grain sizes, whining like he was impressed.

Seto must have been relieved to see Langa, too. I have already erased my sharp gaze earlier, and I am turning my gaze towards those of the crusaders, including Langa, who make friends with me with my circular eyes and give me food.

"As for the bandits we caught, you can turn them over. It'd be quicker to interrogate him even over there, and most importantly, you don't want to be with bandits until Abu Ero, no matter how tied up you are, do you?

Even if we were bandits, we would try to escape just knowing what would happen after we were caught.

Will you be sold as a criminal slave, or will you be condemned to death? Whatever you think, there can't be a happy ending.

Even for the Traydia and the others, only the merchants who do business on the border will have some mindset, but there was nevertheless something mentally harsh about keeping the bandits on guard all the way to Abu Ero.

"... right. Let me ask you something, you get paid to hand over a bandit to a guard here, right?

To the words of one of the merchants, Ray nodded small, confirming Langa's appearance.

"Probably fine. There's a Guild guard captain over there."

"Well, is there a problem? That's all right, right?

Traydia, who was asked so, nodded without complaining.

"Yes. If you can get a little bit of money soon, Ning Ro will help."

"In the meantime, shall we keep an eye on the bandits not to run away now? The Corner Crusaders are coming from the other side, so if they get away with it, it won't be a shame."

"Right.... but I don't think I can get away with it."

Traydia smiles bitterly as she sees the bandits tied to ropes still immobilized by the intimidation of Seto's king.

Rays and merchants waited for the crusaders to gradually approach as they were, but inadvertently one of the merchants opens his mouth.

"Hey, Ray. I'm sorry, but can I gather the horses that the dead bandits were riding? You said we could have the horses, too.

"... right, that's fine. Like Traydia said, the bandits won't get away with it."

"Sorry."

While leaving Ray with words of apology, all four merchants except Traydia move to gather the horses together.

Due to the intimidation of the king of Seto, the bandits are unable to move. One horse takes them straight to the carriage, while the rest of the merchants scatter the rays a little further away… more precisely towards the horses who are watching Seto still.

If you try it on horses, I guess Griffon like Seto only remembers threats, but still doesn't run because he thinks he'll be hunted if he moves?

Whatever the reason, it was also gratifying to the merchants that a horse would not move.

We took the distance from Seto to the carriage so as not to excite the horse as it was, during which time Traydia was picking up and collecting the weapons of a bandit who had fallen to the ground.

Ray pointed his gaze at you, but none of the bandits possessed the same kind of spear as Ray preferred with a bow and a long sword, so he waits for someone to approach him without saying anything in particular.

"I knew... if I thought I saw Seto, was it you, Ray? You've been to the labyrinth city, haven't you?

"Oh, that's enough. Mostly solved. So, when I got back to Gilm on business, Master Dusker asked me to help you. They're the ones there with the results."

Turn your gaze to the bandits tied with ropes as you tell Langa what's going on, who has been speaking out in a cheerful tone from within an approaching group.

"What, you guys?

"Oh, let the merchant squad there be precise. Whatever you need to pull out the information, do as you please. I just want these guys to pay for what they deserve."

While I tell you so, I take the letter out of Mystering and give it to Langa.

It's a letter from Dusker with the circumstances on it.

Having read its contents, Langa nods small after a few thoughts.

"Ray, if you can help me, it's more than anything. I also understand about the reward. But I guess I'll have to ask Ajito out first."

Ray and those around him also nod at the words that came out of Langa's mouth.

In the meantime, a knight who was acting with Langa moves forward.

"Was it Ray? I would appreciate your cooperation. [M] Thank you for your concern, Dusker."

The knight's face also looks familiar. It was the face we talked about several times during the war against the Bestian Empire.

Ray exhales a small relief at how the knight is doing.

Basically, a knight is high pride and weighs his face.

If the adventurers knew they had defeated the bandits they were after, some would have gotten involved without even trying to admit it.

But should I say it's because I'm a knight on the border, or because I'm one of Dusker's men?

All in all, it seems that the knights and their companions in front of them had no or few detainees around them.

"So, it's quick, but I'd like to hear from them where Ajito is and attack... is that possible?

I want to clean up the trouble as soon as I can.

I guess you understand the inside of Ray, who spoke with that thought. Langa smiles small and nods back, glancing at his men.

I guess the soldier of the crusader who got the eye on him figured out what he was directing with that alone. Pull the bandits and take them to a place where the merchants can't see.

Interrogation, or torture if you don't mouth Azit's place with it. It was an act from the thought of not wanting such a thing to appear in the eyes of a merchant who is an ordinary person... but the care was utterly pointless.

The soldier who pulled the bandits right back and opens his mouth as if he was confused somewhere.

"Captain, the... the location of Azito has been found"
