Legend

The reason why the bandits caught by the Rays spoke lightly of Ajit's place. It was naturally in Ceto.

The bandits who ate it were atrophied badly due to the intimidation of the king who used Seto, to which he replied very quickly when asked only to leave the presence of Seto.

It would also have been that he was lightly abandoned by Evelogi, his head.

"Something tells me you've been scared of Seto for a long time... did you do something?

In an inquiry by a crusader soldier who has come to report to Langa, Ray turns his gaze to Seto, who is delighted to receive dried meat from one of the knights a short distance away.

"You said you did something, because you heard Seto roar right around the corner. Besides, the roar was unleashed when he decided he didn't have a chance to win and tried to escape, so I think that's why."

"Grrrrrrrr?"

Did Seto swallow the dried meat? and lean his ankle and gaze toward Ray, but Ray shook his head saying nothing to it and opened his mouth toward Langa again.

"So, if we find out where Azito is, do we attack him quickly?

"Right.... What is the location of Ajito?

The guard asked that way strayed his gaze like he was in a little trouble and eventually turned his gaze toward the woods.

"They say it's deep in the woods."

"... I hear the bandit's main force is the cavalry?

"Yeah. They seem to be a bunch of people who are pretty good at handling horses for everything. We're talking about mercenaries, not bandits."

"I knew it."

Ray nods at the answer to the question he had thinly.

That's the same with Langa, frowning.

"Aren't you still just a bandit? Sometimes I hear that mercenaries change saddles to bandits, but that's a pain in the ass when it comes to this size.... Ray, I was wondering if you could give me a moment. Because I'm going to talk to the knights about their future policies."

"Okay. As for this one, I just want to clear this matter up as soon as possible, so if I can, please do it in that direction."

"Of course. It is not preferable to leave the guilds free for a long period of time, and most importantly, the paperwork goes one after the other while doing this..."

You remember the paperwork overlapping on your desk, Langa leaves with her hands on her stomach.

The knight who stood in Seto also follows such a langa.

Ray, who then dropped him off, spoke to a soldier who was nearby as if he had been stunned somewhere.

"Is the Guard that much paperwork?

"No, well, you can't say less. Especially the number of people entering and leaving the Guild needs to be properly summed up, as well as all the other troubles that have occurred throughout the city and so on."

"... the guards seem harder than I thought."

Only Ray's smug whining echoed around him.

Meanwhile, a bunch of bloody blades that turned back in the woods were on their way to Azit, which was ready behind the woods.

The footsteps that go through the woods are fast.

Of the advance troops released to confirm the enemy's hands, it was only natural for Ray to know where their Azit was beyond the capture of the survivors.

The blood-coated blade led by Evelogi is not a group that boasts a separate iron tie. It was obvious that if they were caught and questioned naturally, they would answer that for their help.

Besides, he abandoned those whose heads he caught lightly, so he wouldn't even want loyalty, solidarity, etc.

For this reason, Evelogi intended to leave the land before the hands of adventurers and crusaders reached out to Azit.

Evelogi's decision is quick, and as the head of a mercenary regiment that leads all this fighting power, it can definitely be described as an English break.

But...

Evelogi's leg stops perfectly as he accidentally progresses through the woods.

What drifted from our own direction of progress was the smell of iron rust we were used to sniffing.

(Got ahead of you...? No, it's too soon for anything. Even if Deep Red can follow Griffon, I can't imagine finding Ajito in the woods any sooner. then...... did anything else happen)

Griffon looks past when he first attacked the merchant squad for a moment, but he immediately denies it himself and shakes his head.

But it's definitely nothing but the smell of blood drifting from the Asian side.

The others must have smelled the smell. Somewhere strange...... or anxiously looking at each other.

"I hear something happened in Ajito. Let's go."

That's all you throw up and make the horse you were riding move on.

Even though it is in the woods, Evelogi's manipulated horses continue to move as if nothing was wrong at all, and the mercenary regiment's men also proceed in the woods with their horses as if to follow them.

A blood-coated blade, a mercenary regiment close to half the bandits, but only the skill of the horseback riding squad could definitely be described as first-class.

That's how I headed out to a place in the back of the woods where there were few growing trees and I had an aside… So I greeted Evelogi with a herd of nearly 50 goblins.

"Goblin, you say?

I did have goblins getting lost the day before. However, it was still one or two, and the goblins that were so wrapped up never came to their own Asia.

Those goblins have food or weapons in their hands, or they make foolish noises with gold, silver, or gems in their hands.

Falling on the ground are the familiars.

Those who are their own men but have no fighting power... or who are unable to fight due to injury and have retired from mercenaries to do chores.

They are falling to the ground bleeding from their bodies.

The limbs were bent in an unanswered direction, or there were blade wounds in the body.

It may have been unfortunate luck not to have a woman among the remaining mercenary regiments.

Because if you were there, you would have seen worse than you would have died.

Yes, I'm ahead of Evelogi's gaze right now, like the woman who survived when she raided the merchant squad.

"Damn, sometimes I don't have time for this.... okay, bastards. Get rid of all the Goblin shit! Don't get me wrong, don't kill me, get rid of me!

"Head!?

No matter how many mercenary regiments you plan to gather, some of you will have feelings if you stay with them for a long time. Several men turned their gaze of dissatisfaction at Evelogi to the order that such people be killed but only driven away without taking revenge.

But Evelogi looks sharply back at his men.

"Even for me, I'm angry with both these goblins. But if you take time out here now, you'll have crusaders and deep reds looming. You think you can beat them?

If you say so, you have no words to say back to your men.

And if you have a long conversation where you can see the goblins, you will naturally notice that...

"Gaga, gaga, gaga!"

"Gaga?"

"Gagyoggo!"

When the goblins speak to each other, the goblins attack each other simultaneously.

Strong against the weak, weak against the strong. However, because they are decidedly retarded, they attack stronger opponents than themselves.

I guess this attack was the result of such a prominent appearance of goblin traits.

Especially now it has the effect of being excited to kill the non-combatants and the less combatant who remained in Asia in a group.

Above all...

"Gagagagagagagagagagaga!"

Much bigger than a goblin… A monster the size of a human adult got drunk with blood while holding a stick, excited and attacked.

It's the top species of goblins to see, its monsters are...

"Shit, it's a hobgoblin! What a bunch of goblins!

Shouted with frustration, dodging a wielded stick and flashing a long sword.

Hobgoblins, the top species of goblins, are killed by a blow to the neck by Evelogi.

Indeed, hobgoblins are the top species of goblins and are higher than house-lined goblins, including physical abilities.

But that's only an error if you try to be an everogly-leading blood-coated blade, which is not only compared to goblins, but also a mercenary regiment of warfare.

"Gaga gaga!?

"Gyojovel!?

Goblins wield the rare monster material in their hands, screaming at each other's words.

Evelogi, who knows how much money substitute he has in his hand, opens his mouth with an unpleasant frown.

"Whoa! Hurry up, you guys! Kick both the goblins! But collect as much treasure as they can. It's absolutely necessary to get the mercenary regiment's weapons, gear, and horses together! And you won't be able to buy food or booze!

"Whoa, whoa, whoa."

Weapons, protective equipment, horses, food, liquor, women.

If I knew there was something hanging on me that I had to do as a mercenary corps, there was no reason for the other mercenaries to be swallowed up.

But even if it's a goblin, we look at the approaching humans and beasts, and we shout out and intimidate them if they still don't understand that their greatest force, Hobgoblin, is dead.

(Shit, both of them. If I shout out here, I'll just tell the Crusaders and Deep Red where we are.)

Ebeloggi, tongue-in-cheek in frustration, waved his sword with half the meaning of worry, cutting the torso of the goblin, which was lifting the material of the monster, up and down in two.

He ends one goblin after another as he frowns uncomfortably at the smell of goblin blood drifting around him.

After about 10 minutes, the others were active and the goblins decided that they would be wiped out as they were. Start running away in all directions.

I don't think about my people at all, but I run away to protect my life first.

Since the Goblin settlement was attacked, Hobgoblin's only survival, which had been wrapping up the Goblins around the bend, had also already died and was an act because there was no one to lead it.

Some mercenaries try to mount a chase on horseback with all their fellow enemies, but there Evelogi's fury is showered.

"Oh, you guys! Let's get the hell out of here! Pack your gold eyes and luggage! And some monster material scattered in half by the goblins!

I guess you returned it to me with that word. The mercenaries rush back and follow Evelogi's instructions to begin preparations.

Among other things...

"Heh, that's a lot of quick judgment. I thought we could afford a little more."

Pottori, my voice echoes.

The wonder and its voice went into Evelogi's ear without being scratched off even in the midst of the noise.

At the same time, he feels something cold in his spine and turns his gaze towards those who hear his voice reflexively.

There he was, a man his age like you could still say boy. He had a huge sickle in his hand and looked at the face of the bloody blade as he admired it as he was preparing to withdraw while keeping his back in the trunk of the tree.

It was obvious who was at the end of their gaze just because of the weapon and appearance, but what was even more decisive was the presence of standing still next to the boy and gazing at themselves.

Griffon, a Rank A monster with an eagle upper body and a lion lower body.

Usually he has a nostalgic trick with circular eyes and has become the mascot presence of the guilm, but now he points his gaze as sharp as that of a prey at the face of a bloody blade.

"... deep red..."

From Evelogi's mouth, the name of the being at the end of his gaze leaked.

Time returns a little.

The face of the crusaders who were handed over bandits captured by Ray and the merchants were more successful in obtaining information than they had imagined.

That's what you tell me as soon as you hear it, so there's no torture whatsoever.

It's just that you have to say this.

That is, 'Do you want to get out in front of Griffon again?'.

Those who were completely atrophied by the intimidation of the king that Seth used fell lightly.

That our identity is a mercenary regiment called a bloody blade. That he was operating as a bandit on land ruled by Larks Border Uncle, the cause of which, because he made little money in the spring war. That if they attack the merchants, they will be given preferential treatment for their share. The power of the blood-coated blade, the details of the person named Evelogi, etc.

"... that's dangerous"

One of the knights squeals at the information I hear from the crusader soldiers.

The cavalry, a mercenary regiment with a superior attacking and manoeuvring species as its main force, and at the same time the person who leads it, is quite out of his mind.

Certainly more than once, the crusaders followed the bandits... No, the mercenaries, but they were unable to make contact.

There is also a lack of mercy in killing all the merchants who attacked them in order not to give them information.

Because such a person saw Griffon, he would surely be sensing that Ray, the rank B adventurer, had his eye on him.

Or even if it was a misunderstanding that caught my eye, there is also a good chance that my work in this land will leave for the rest of the land as an end, beyond being formed into a massive crusade.

I nod with a bitter look on the face of the other crusaders to explain the knight.

"Then why don't we get Ray and Seto to work fast? I was able to find out where the bloody blade and Ajito were."

"I couldn't have solved it without Ray after all, could I?"

Smudge and one whine, but now we agree that we should deal with the bloody blade more than we do with our own handles, and we will be asked to monitor the bloody blade not to escape through the langa closest to Ray, and to stop it if any action is taken before the crusaders arrive.
