Legend

"There's a battle. That's it."

Listening to Vihera, Ray releases the death-sized blade that was poking at the neck of a man with a spear.

I have a blade that goes over 1m right in front of me, and I guess that's what Ray found out if he was willing to do, just gently pull his arm and his neck was severed. A man with a spear exhales in relief in an unexpected manner.

"... here we go. I hear this was totally our point. Admit that you do have the strength to say it, and that you only have the power to beat Master Vihella."

Ray turns his gaze to that voice heard from behind as he stores his death size into mystering.

There he was, a man of leadership who had just fallen to the ground with his legs paid to go through the side.

(Heh)

Ray leaks a grunt of emotion inside.

Because I just thought I was just going to fall and say that the battle wasn't with me yet.

I never thought we'd admit our losses so lightly.

(I'd say it's splendid that you tend to overconfident your strengths, but still be properly admitted to your losses)

This is how the three people who were most hostile to themselves admitted to losing, so there won't be any more extra commotion.

The anticipation of such a ray met, and the colour of suspicion had already disappeared from its expression, even to those who had slightly but doubted how powerful the presence of a ray was.

"No, that's amazing. You are. I didn't know I could do this alone with the three of them."

Ray nods and opens his mouth to the voice of one of the nobles laughing and telling him so.

"That's more than anything you can say. So... can I be allowed to join this army?

Merclio, not a nobleman who has spoken up, but also the supreme leader of this army known as the Third Prince, nods with a small grin.

"Oh, of course. We welcome a man of your strength."

There are no colors in Merclio's attitude that I tell you so, like I saw in the morning.

In some of the positions that I have been placed in, it would still be great to hear from Vihela and Theorem how powerful a person named Ray is, and to see it in this way, though at one end of the spectrum.

As for Merclio himself, there was also a slight desire to keep Ray close to Vihera within his sight.

"Then, Your Highness Merclio. How is his treatment?

To the words of the aristocrats who were around him, Merclio opens his tease with a little thought.

"What about using that protruding power of war and the manoeuvre of being subjugated to Griffon to get him to move as an assault?

Out of Merclio's mouth was an extraordinarily unexpected word, and even more so, the nobleman asks back in unexpected ways whether it was a different word than he had expected.

"Ambush, is it? I was just wondering if I could lead a mercenary."

"It would be a lie to say that I didn't think about it either, because according to what I heard from my sister, she was specialized in force as an individual. Ray, who are you better at leading your men to fight as a group or as individuals?

Ray opens his mouth without any hesitation to Merclio, who asks him as he returns his words to the nobles.

"Whatever you think, you're the latter. I've hardly ever been able to lead a man in battle, and then I can't take advantage of Seto's high mobility."

Some frowned slightly at the language against Merclio, but especially watched the story go by without saying anything.

"I guess. In fact, discarding the mobility of you and your Griffon is too much. But even our army doesn't have dragon knights, so there's nothing we can do when our enemies take control of the airspace. I know I'm gonna let you expect me to do something about you, but do you mind?

"... you leave it to me to be important."

Merclio turns his gaze towards Vihera and opens his mouth to the words of Ray, who questioned Merclio's saying that he would be in charge with regard to the right to control the air.

"It's a tattoo from my sister. Plus, I have the strength to semi win fights, so I can leave it to you with confidence."

With ink? and Ray looking from Merclio to Vihera.

To Ray's gaze like that, Vihera nods with a glossy smile.

"If I knew Ray, the Dragon Knight would be his opponent. Besides, you actually did that in the spring war, didn't you?

"If you say so, you can't deny it."

All Ray could do was gently flatter his shoulders at the words of Vihera, who would ask with meaning to confirm.

In fact, in the Spring War, many dragon knights are served only by Ray and Seto.

"And Merclio also said, there's a powerful weapon called Seto's mobility, so you don't have a hand that doesn't use it. There's no way I'm gonna let someone else work with Seto instead of Ray."

"Grrrrrrrrrr"

To the words of Vihera, Seto, who naturally rings his throat.

Several nobles are surprised that Seto, who watched a little further away, suddenly rang his throat.

"Dear Vihella, is it possible that... that griffon understands people's language?

"Of course, right? It's a Rank A monster, isn't it? Even if you can't speak people's language, you can understand. Hey?"

"Gru!"

Naturally, the nobles face each other unexpectedly when they see Seto honking his throat all the time.

I knew it was a Rank A monster, and I knew its power through the consequences of the spring war. But I guess I didn't even think intelligence was that high.

Once again, Vihera turns her gaze toward Ray as she looks sideways at such aristocrats.

"So, what do you say? You can treat me like a parade, right?

"Well, it would help if you did, even if it were me."

Thus, the layout of the rays is determined lightly.

But that wasn't the only story being told on this occasion, and the next topic Merclio spoke of was an unexpected substitute for Ray as well.

"Ray, by the way. I need another favor from you. Actually, I want you to train my soldiers."

"... training? Me?

It was Ray asking back all the time that Merclio's words were incredible, but only a snort would return to it.

I also don't see any color of play in my eyes, and I understand that I am seriously requesting it.

(I don't care if they call it training...... it feels like I trained Luzida Wind Dragon Fang opponent?

While I think about it that way, eventually when I turn my gaze toward Vihera, I get a small nod, even though I get a sorry look at you.

To be honest, I really had to improve the quality of my soldiers beyond the overwhelming loss in numbers to the Imperial Army.

Of course I don't think I can make the soldiers as strong as a thousand. Even if it's a soldier, it's natural because each one has a talent.

Still, the presence and training of Ray is undoubtedly the confidence of the soldiers. And most importantly, training with Ray increases the likelihood that you will survive fighting against the overwhelming strong.

In the sense of training with the strong, that is also the presence of such things as Vihela, Gurgasto and Theorem. But they're not the executives of this army, and it's not that easy to take time.

… although Gurgasto himself looked like he had said something.

What do you want to say? Ray, who had a little conversation yesterday and generally understood because of the meeting, looks away softly.

You wanted to tell me to mix myself up if I was going to fight, but because I decided that I had no more time to fight myself than being an executive in this army.

(Well, I might be able to hang out with you if it's about distraction... but before I do, I need to be able to successfully use the King's armor, even over here. That's the top priority)

Gurgasto had a disgruntled look on Ray who missed his eye, but still decided that his opinion would just be dismissed even if he said something here. I never put anything in my mouth.

"You've made up your mind. Then let everyone in their ranks know that Ray is going to see the training.... Well, I'd like to introduce Ray to a unit that will be training this afternoon, okay? Who wants Ray to train in a unit that will be training this afternoon?

Several nobles tried to move into such a Vihella inquiry, but before that, a leader with a long sword opens his mouth among the men who had fought Ray until earlier.

"Dear Vihella, then my troops"

"... okay?

"Yes. I understand the difference in power from Lord Ray, so as far as I'm concerned, I have no objection. And I'd like to see more of Lord Ray's power to shoot Vihella."

A completely different look from when I first met Ray. And attitude.

I guess the shock I got in a mock fight with Ray by then was huge.

The nobles around them also looked at the man with a surprising look.

Of these, only a few, starting with Theorem, have a Ning Luo convinced look on their face.

"What do you think, Lord Ray? Can you really train my troops?

"No, I don't mind..."

Ray in a mood pushed by that looming momentum.

Viewing it, Vihera opens her teasing mouth with a small grin at a rather unusual sight.

"Right. Let me do that if Ray wants to.... Yes, you should introduce yourself, right?

To such Vihera's words, the leader nobleman coughs up as he returned to me.

"Mm, Cohon. You sure did. I'm Karaza Grate. I'm the third son of Count Grate's family."

The next man to come forward who named himself Karaza was a man with a spear.

"I'm Charais Tenda. I'm the second son of the Viscount Tenda family."

And finally, the man with the first long sword who fought Ray.

"Wow, I'm Galateo Morse. This is Baron Morse's six men."

"... six men?

Unexpectedly grunts back to the title of the person who named him Galateo.

"Yeah, yeah. Well, I'm six men."

This one also changed a lot of language and attitude from when it first happened with Ray.

"Again, you have a lot of children's homes. Basically, I just thought nobility meant not having so many children."

Of course in the sense of leaving blood, some number of children would be necessary. But if the number of children is too high, this time there will be a heated fight over the housekeeper.

Note that children in this case are only properly recognized children, and do not include hidden children.

"Yep. We didn't like to fight each other's families, so this is how we became independent..."

Independence? and Ray tilting his neck, but even if he joins this army with all his strength in the power of the house, he decides that is independence for the person in front of him.

(Most of all, I think that if you are cooperating with the Third Prince, who is supposed to have rebelled, you will be blamed on the house. No, I'm guessing you're taking some precautions that you're so grand this way. … maybe)

With that in mind, Ray once again opens his mouth with his gaze toward Kalaza, the leader of the threesome.

"So we're talking about training, should we do a mock fight?

"It would help if you did. My unit has no military presence today, like watchdogs and perimeter reconnaissance."

"I see. Well, surely there's more to that kind of activity than being assembled as an army"

Without such a military service, Ning Lo, it can be said that it is simply emerging in military training.

It is certain that this army will bump into each other with the Imperial Army within no further distance than being a rebel. With that in mind, there was no shortage of reconnaissance around, and it was only natural to be prepared so that the Imperial Army could show up whenever it wanted.

"So that's what I'm asking you to do. My unit will train with them in the morning on the eastern plains of the position, so if you can come in the afternoon after that."

I turn my gaze and tell that to the aristocrats where Chilari and Karaza are a little further away.

It was only natural to train together to work together at different times than one unit at a time was dispatched from a different territory.

As far as the chain of command is concerned, there is Merclio at the top, but not everyone here is a third prince. There will be a wide variety with those who gathered with the hand of Vihera, like Tiyur and Gurgasto, and those who came smelling gold.

In that case, there will naturally be problems with command and coordinated action between the forces, and resolving that problem was something that should be done as a matter of great urgency for this army, the rebels, which is close to gathering.

"Well, then you seem to have made up your mind. Shall we start our own action?"

That's what Merclio tells him, and Ray's revelations to the rebel executives will all end safely, regardless of some disturbance.
