Legend

"... Phew"

Regardless of the horses and people, Ray exhales loudly by accident, confirming that all of the bodies have disappeared.

Ray, who originally specializes in the magic of fire. If that ray forcefully uses a magic that combines elements of purification… sacred magic, it manifests itself in the magnitude of the consuming magic.

That would be even worse if it continued for the second time when I first made contact with Wideret.

Even Ray, who has enormous magic, consumed so much magic that he felt somewhat tired. That is equal to or more than when you use the King's armor.

"Grrrrrrrrrr"

You saw how Ray was like that, and Seto, who was watching him a little further away, rushes first under Ray and rubs his face to encourage him.

Ray also reaches gently to Seto's head with a small grin on his tired face at Seto's nasty appearance.

"You don't have to worry about it because you'll recover soon. Besides, we'll just have to get back to the position."

"Gru......"

Still, Seto looks up at Ray worried and rings his throat.

You must have noticed how one of those and one of them looked. Immersed in his memories with his beloved horse, Widere approaches Ray as surprised.

"Lord Ray, what's wrong?

To his worried voice, Ray shook his neck sideways saying it was nothing.

"I used a bit of unfamiliar magic, so it just consumed a lot of magic. I'll recover soon."

"... was that so? Thank you for listening to me."

"You don't have to worry about anything. In the first place, this is the path the rebels will take sooner or later. When that happens, you'll have trouble being undead and coming out."

That's it, I turn my chills and gaze toward the men.

"Tell you what, don't think you can get away with it. No, well, you can run, but even then, I'll see you as an enemy, not a prisoner.... Seto, if any of those guys are making strange moves, I'll take care of them"

"Grrrrrrrr!"

I'll take care of it! And Seto, who rings his throat well.

Seto's gaze is directed at the men as he watches instead of Ray, who is tired.

Some of the men reflexively stretch their faces and divert their gaze from such Seto's gaze.

What you were thinking would be obvious if you saw how it went.

"Well, I can't stay here forever. We're heading to the rebel position. Already only at night, if we waste our time here, that will slow us down to the other side. If you're bad, it might be tomorrow to meet Merclio."

"Oh, that's troublesome. I'd like to see His Royal Highness Merclio as soon as possible."

Each of the other knights nods that the same is true of the words of Widare.

I've come so far around the corner ready for danger, I'd like to see Merclio with us today if I can. Ray tells Wiedele somewhere mean that he told her that thought.

"Right, then you better hurry up and get to the rebel positions. As far as those prisoners are concerned, it's like bringing them in bad but responsible over there."

"Wait! Wouldn't that be too bad? If I could, I'd leave the prisoner to Lord Ray."

If we take the prisoners, that's how fast they'll travel. Worried about it was a widere trying to push the prisoners to Ray, but Ray's reply to it was a caged gaze of laughter.

"Are you sure? If I don't go to the position and tell you that the White Rose Knights are coming as messengers from Frizione, you can definitely rub them when you enter the position?

"Oh, that's..."

Surely that would be true. Ray's right, we're only opponents of the rebels right now. Beyond that, can you believe it easily if such people go to what is said to be the headquarters of the enemy?

The answer is no.

It will undoubtedly be taken as hostile and, as Ray put it, a hassle.

That could be a battle in front of the position if you do poorly, and a feather that would be disintegrating and hostile to the rebels themselves.

If we were to avoid that, surely if Ray, known for his face and name among the rebels, were told that it would be best to go out and keep him informed in advance, then Widare could not even say no.

"... ok. Then let's ask Lord Ray about the legend against the rebels. I'll take these people."

Ray also nods back to Wydele, who turns his gaze to Chirali and the men in captivity.

"Do that. I just don't know if these guys have that much important information. I took him prisoner just in case, or so on. So if these guys try to escape, I don't mind handling it."

Hearing such Ray's words, the captive men breathe as if they had been put ice in their spine.

I didn't expect our lives to be cut off so easily... not because...

Ray's gaze when he told him that was because he didn't have eyes that looked at humans.

That is the gaze as if to see a stone falling on the side of the road, a gaze that never recognizes ourselves as creatures.

Even for the guys, I'm used to acting dark behind them. Still, I've never been turned this way.

"Ah, oh. All right, but I'll make sure they're all handed over to you the best I can."

Widere also had something that would put a moment of pressure on Ray's gaze again, but he quickly regains his mind and returns the words so.

Ray opens his mouth, convinced that he is sometimes just entrusted with a team of White Rose Knights, also direct from Frizione.

"Really? Well, please, I'm going to the position first, so follow me. The road should reach you without hesitation if you head straight south here.... you just have to go straight down the meadow, so you're not lost, are you?

It was a joke, Ray, but if Ray had known that he had been lost many times before, his fears of Ray, which had lasted until a few seconds, would have disappeared from almost everyone.

Were you lucky or unlucky that you didn't?

Either way, Ray crosses over to Seto's back when he tells him just that.

"Seto, please"

"Grrrrrrrrrr!"

Ringing high at Ray's call, he ascends as he rushes up to the sky after a few steps of aid.

Wideret, who was dropping off Ray and Seto, who quickly disappeared to the other side of the sky as they were, returns to me all the time.

"This is not how I fit in. We need to see His Highness Merclio as soon as possible, so we're in a hurry.... and, you know what? I also have permission from Lord Ray. Remember, if you imitate something strange, you'll pay for your life."

"I know. We're not stupid enough to imitate each other in this situation."

That's what the leader man told him as he nodded.

In fact, the man was not willing to escape or any other fine dust.

I had a feeling that if we tried to escape here, the Widere in front of us would take our own lives by waving that blade exactly as we said, and most importantly, even if we badly escaped here or eluded them, we would certainly die if we encountered Ray at a later date.

Then I will manage to survive working with the rebels here. If I can do that, I'll never have to fight that monster named Ray again.

That's how I came to the conclusion of thinking inside.

"... well, fine. Let's go."

The same is true for those of the White Rose Knights, starting with Widare, who feel the fear against Ray.

Still, they had managed to calm their feelings due to the thought that they were not hostile to the rebels.

Widere needs to see Merclio as soon as possible, anyway. I take the men from that thought and start moving towards those Ray told me to.

Seto, who was flying over, returned to rebel positions in about five minutes of the thing.

Having seen no particular anomaly in the condition of the completed position while Ray was away, Ray signals Seto to go down to the position.

Even if it was just Ray, it never seemed like he'd get lost at a one-way five-minute distance.

Most of all, Ray himself is completely unconscious because he doesn't think he is directional tone deaf.

"Grrrrrrrrrr"

Two guard soldiers guarding one of the entrances to the position notice Seto descending to the ground with his throat rattling.

The position itself covers the entire position using fences made of wood and metal to counter monster raids and bandit raids at night. And there are several places on the fence that cover the position that are not fenced to get in and out of the outside.

Ray stepped down to one of them.

Two of the soldiers tried to set up the spear they had in their hands for a moment, probably because they still suddenly heard a squeal from above while the sun was completely setting and dark.

As he begins to see the fall cloudless moon, Seto descends to the entrance to the position with his wings winged.

Because Theorem told me not to suddenly descend into the position unless it was an emergency.

And regarding this White Rose Knights case, we go down to the entrance to the position because we decided it wasn't that urgent.

Even if you are a soldier, you know that face well because you have more experience with Ray than you are with the rebels. That is why the spear I erected is immediately lowered and one soldier asks Ray on his behalf.

"Lord Ray, are you back from reconnaissance? Sounds like a long time ago."

"Oh. A little bit."

"A little?"

"I'm sorry, but this should be reported directly to Theorem. Let me through."

He was a soldier with a strange look on Ray's words for a moment, but I guess he decided it wasn't something he should be involved in here right now. Nod immediately and clear the way to get inside the position.

"Is anyone there to guide you? If I had to, one of us would come with me."

"No, it's in the middle of the position, isn't it? Then there's no problem."

Answering the soldiers briefly, Ray and Seto enter the position.

The two soldiers, who were dropping it off, flaunt their shoulders from either side and return to the lookout again, bellying at the smell of drifting meals.

"Take me back to Theorem. I need you to make a decision as soon as possible."

"Okay. I need you to wait a minute."

The knight of the escort, who was in front of the magic tent, as soon as he heard Ray's words, one of them goes inside.

This response, which is totally different than before, is probably because Ray was still perceived as an important figure among the rebels.

(I don't know if he's convinced of it.)

I knew that I was held in various and complex thoughts for those of the Bestian Empire. But still, I suppose you're pushing it to death because you understand it's for the rebels.

"Permission granted. I want you inside."

That's what one of the knights out of the magic tent tells me, and Ray walks into the magic tent as usual leaving Seto on the spot.

At first, the knights were troublesome or scared to have Seto near the tent, but they don't move their expressions especially if they're used to it already.

Sometimes it would be because I was convinced that there was nothing like attacking a person unlike the normal monster Seto is around.

Seto himself stays the same as usual and takes the position of falling asleep near a magic tent and waiting for Ray.

Inside the magic tent were a bunch of people to be called even with the usual rebel leadership.

There were a few faces Ray had never seen, but they must have joined us as we moved around this position.

"Ray, this is about the immediate requirements. Is something wrong? From what I can tell, it doesn't look like we've seen a new crusader in reconnaissance."

Ray nods small and opens his mouth to the inquiry of Theorem, who asks quickly and only quickly.

"When I was scouting, I discovered five women being attacked by a group of about thirty. The women were being hunted down, but it looked like the men were attacking me, so I helped the women..."

"Bandits. You'd better get rid of the bandits in the vicinity than we did here."

When Theorem whines, he nods as the others agree, but Ray shakes his neck beside it.

"No, they were all wearing matching armor. From what I've heard, it looks like Cabazide's men are private soldiers."

"... of His Highness Kabazid?

"Oh. So, the women who were attacked were the White Rose Knights direct from Frizione, you know?... No, as far as this reaction goes, it sounds pretty famous."

White Rose Knights. Almost every nobleman in the magic tent gives a surprise look the moment Ray speaks the word.

"White Rose Knights!? That they have come to this land?"

"But why? The White Rose Knights are the true hands of His Highness Frizione. When we put it out here... it doesn't seem like just five of us attacked it."

"So, what, like reconnaissance?

"It won't. Those who tried to enter this position have been beautifully dismissed. You know that even over there."

"No, isn't that why you sent the White Rose Knights?

That's how we sighed at Ray for what was wrong with the forgotten Ray when we saw him having an exchange of opinions on his own before he said anything.
