……

Ray, silently gazed at by more than a hundred soldiers in front of him, inadvertently sighs in his heart.

Sure, I promised Karaza that I would train the soldiers, but I just thought it was about ten people because of the troops.

But now at the end of Ray's gaze are more than a hundred soldiers.

Whatever you thought from anywhere, it meant Ray's thoughts were sweet.

Karaza, standing next to the left of such a ray, opens her mouth wide to the soldiers.

Still, Seto exists next to Ray's right, and I guess that's why he hasn't let the soldiers talk in vain.

"Everybody reschedule for today's training and go to Lord Ray, who is here. Many of you know about Lord Ray, who joined us last night, but let me explain it again. He makes himself a Rank B Adventurer and has a deep red alias. If you look at that alias and the griffon next to him, you'll see, but he's the one who did so much damage to our army in the spring war."

Some of the soldiers at the end of Ray and Karaza's gaze frown slightly on the words.

While deciding that he must be the one who lost someone he knew in the spring war, Ray thinks in his heart that he doesn't have to say anything in a place like this...

"Excuse me, Lord Ray. But by telling you this in front of everyone, you can also prevent strange problems from happening later."

It was a man in his 40s or so who was holding back behind Karaza who told him that in a whisper enough to sound like Ray.

The body itself appears to be working out quite a bit, but still with simple skill, someone who would only possess a degree of power, such as more than soldiers, less than knights. But the fact of the matter is, he's a substantial commander entrusted with the command of a unit led by Karaza.

He is a person who has served the Count Grato family, which is also the house of Karaza, for generations, and also has a side as Karaza's visitor to this rebel participation.

Most importantly, the Count Grato family itself publicly declares that Karaza left on her own, and that she would not be concerned if there were to be a death in this civil unrest. On top of that, he was also cooperating with you as Frizione's 1st Imperial, striking his hand so that either of you could win.

I guess Karaza is only an insurance policy, beyond publicly stating that you will not be concerned with it even if you die, of course.

Regarding this, the same is true for the other two houses that challenged Ray with Karaza, each of whom is dispatched as a companion, as is Karaza, who combines visitors, escorts, and actual commanders.

"I don't care. As for the area, I was prepared when I came to the Bestian Empire, and most importantly, I'd still rather be clearly hostile like this than targeted by assassins"

The man opens his eyes to surprise for a moment at the word assassin, but eventually he is convinced immediately. He said that if he did enough to decide the end of the war by himself, it would be resented by many.

"Was I?...... I would like to thank Lord Karaza on his behalf for taking on this training after learning about it.... I am late for my application, my name is Saja and I am entrusted with the assistance of Lord Karaza. Karaza would have caused a lot of inconvenience, but don't be too offended..."

The man who named himself Saja knows his character well just because he can be put on Karaza.

Especially if you just know that Karaza is attracted to the beauty of Vihera, so much so that it seems natural for Ray and Karaza, who are said to be in close relationship with that Vihera, to bump into each other.

"I did get a little annoyed, but that's not why I felt so bad. If you show me your strength, I understand you're just a character to understand it properly. I guess that's why you wanted to train with me like this."

"... thank you"

While Ray and Saja were having a conversation that way, Karaza's speech continued, and I guess Xing eventually rode. Shout out loud to the soldiers.

"We can say that the enemy is the Imperial Army and that number is overwhelming. But don't be afraid! We have Lady Vihella. And there's Lord Ray, also known as Deep Red! Better than that, there's no way we're gonna lose.... but there are still many soldiers in the Imperial Army as far as we know. Also, some adventurers employed by the Imperial Army at the same time will have aliases. When you face someone like that, they do it without being able to do anything?

To that word of Karaza, the soldiers who were listening are perplexed by each one.

Of course we don't want to die of adultery. But I was wondering what I could do with someone with an alias.

To clear the anxiety of such soldiers, Karaza waves her words loudly.

"No! No! No! But it is also true that there is nothing you can do if you encounter such an opponent on the battlefield without counteracting anything. In order to respond accurately when that happened, Lord Ray, with his deep red alias, was to deal with him. Be thankful, everyone!

The sloppy air of the word widens, and the soldiers' gaze is directed toward Ray.

"Lord Ray, may I have a word, please?"

Ray was lost for a moment when Karaza told him that, but he still takes a step forward if he's going to train anyway.

... At that time, for some reason, even Seto, who was next to Ray, advanced with Ray, so the soldiers accidentally retreated after a few steps, but I guess that can't be helped.

Ray, glancing at such soldiers, slowly opens his mouth.

"It's Ray the Rank B Adventurer. As was said earlier by Karaza, many of the Imperial Army will have mighty power. When you encounter someone like that, you either unintentionally stop moving... or you don't stop moving. That would be a clear difference in your lives. I hope you realize that in your training with me."

That's what I told you, Ray, but he had a bitter smile inside that made him laugh at himself unintentionally.

I spoke greatly to the soldiers, but even when I first met Noise, I was desperate to mislead the sweat that seeped into my palms. Or the same way when you encounter Grimm, who is also rich.

For some reason, I felt the words were less convincing than I was able to carry out what I was saying.

But... Karaza opens her mouth with such expressions as how she misinterpreted the atmosphere of Ray.

"You heard me, you guys. Lord Ray has told me so far. Be sure to live up to that expectation. I'll be trained with you too, so let's get over the wall together."

'Yes!'

Soldiers responding simultaneously to such words of Karaza.

Watching how that goes, and accidentally this is it? Think that way.

But the conversation goes on as if to leave Ray like that.

"Then split each unit apart.... Lord Ray, please"

Karaza's words and, more or less, Ray's. Even for those who hear those two and have somewhere to think about Ray, have you decided to leave that thing aside for now, slightly but with a soothing gaze, to stand before Ray?

The number of troops divided into units varies subtly, but is roughly ten.

The first ten people to come forward to Ray could also be seen in Ray's eyes as having a strong consciousness that he would not retreat, that he would not lose, no matter what.

But...

(then...... not enough yet)

Mumble, activate the King's armor with the meaning of a kind of intimidation.

Boom! And even though I didn't do anything, something like the pressure released from Ray made those around me feel something... near death Nanica.

No, it's not just pressure. The magic, which is so densely compressed that it can actually be visualized, can be seen in the sight of soldiers, Karaza, or other soldiers who were watching in the vicinity.

Nothing further noticed, but the ground underfoot around Ray had been destroyed as if a piscilli and a crack had entered.

Absolute death that can't even be overridden. Look at Ray now, that's all I feel.

The soldiers and Karaza who were in front of Ray managed to remain conscious without even being able to lose their hips, but just without moving on the spot.

Even if it is a sarge that was held back nearby as an eyewitness to Karaza, it cannot move a single step from the spot.

What's more, those with the ability to feel the magic in the position lost consciousness without any foretaste, or behaved like a hauntingly frightened child, but Ray never knew it was happy or unhappy.

The only thing is that only Seto doesn't seem to have been particularly concerned about Ray's such condition, and he just falls asleep to the ground with all the usual things and turns his gaze.

……

He glances at those who cannot move silently and are in front of him, and takes a step as he does.

Actually, this alone had pretty precise control of magic as Ray.

Still, it must be Ray's immaturity that is causing magic outside his body, rather than activating the King's armor just inside his body like noise.

(This is my limit. Still, I can't put the King's armor in my body)

Compared to when we fought bandits before we came to this position, the range of magic that can certainly be visualized is narrower. Still, it clearly doesn't extend to noise.

(I wonder how much more elaborate magic control we can get over there. How dare you with that face...)

I whine inside and take a step towards the noise of things like a compelling face in one way or another and the sophistication of it… a kind of magic control technique that you can even say is artistic.

Note that, unlike when I fought the bandits, at this point I still activated the armor of the King of Champions, which was considerable - so much so that if I were a common wizard, I would root out my magic, and even consume my life force and die dry - I was consuming my magic, but in that regard Ray was able to move without any particular problems by using the immense magic he had.

Piscilli.

The moment the stepped foot touches the ground, the ground falls gently with such a noise.

It didn't even seem like I put any effort into it, but it seems like this nonetheless.

At first glance, I can understand that it was due to Ray's own powerful powers, but the fact of the matter was also a sign that he had not been able to successfully control his magic when using the King's armor.

I frowned slightly at the way it was... and when I saw that soldiers, including Karaza, were no longer even able to breathe, I disarmed the king's armor.

Moments later, Karaza and the others entered the ground, exhaling roughly, and breathing heavily disturbed even for the soldiers watching around them.

Thus, when he noticed the signs approaching him from the position to his own, he turned his gaze and there was the figure of Vihella dressed in a provocative outfit surrounded by his usual thin clothes, just behind which there were those confident in his own power among this rebel forces, such as Gurgasto, Theorem, etc.

They were the three who were tightening their expressions tightly, but when they found out it was Ray who was at the end of their gaze, they gave them a look like they had been poked into the void for a moment, Vihera gave them a funny grin, Gurgasto gave them a fierce grin, and Theorem stopped their feet running with each of those expressions like a tired grin.

"I thought the enemy was here... Was that Ray earlier?

A surprising tone, but the grin in its mouth had surely betrayed such Vihera's thoughts.

In the short time since Ray and I broke up, Vihera had acquired a new skill called Immersion Palm, because Ray, who was also her own thinker, had acquired more skills than that.

Its power as if it were overwhelmed by the residual incense of magic, which can thus still be called the remnants of the King's armor, only by looking at it, I think of Ray's high level of combat power.

Gurgasto had a fierce grin at the fact that he didn't use the skills he didn't show when he fought himself last night... that is, whoever thought he was dealing with himself and obviously handicapping him, he put his thoughts on a fierce battle that surpassed it.

Speaking of Theorem, even the overwhelming Ray had a stronger power in his hand, which makes me grin tired imagining when all the rubbing ahead happened.

Ray opens his mouth as he turns his gaze to the three of them with such a three-man grin, which means that for now, he releases the King's armor.

"What's going on? Suddenly."

"... not suddenly, suddenly."

To Ray's words, who seemed completely unaware of what he had done, Vihera unwittingly turns the grin of her mouth into a bitter laugh and then squeals like that with her sigh.

Most importantly, Karaza and her men, who saw the King's armor up close this time, said that they were no longer afraid of the enemy.

Especially the soldiers who bore the armor of the king in the nearest vicinity with Karaza, will all raise the major handle of raising the captain's neck at a later date.
