1st prince pie, move.
The topic instantly ran through the capital.
A completely different rate of spread of rumors than when the Second Prince moved.
Few felt artificial there, but the vast majority of the inhabitants of the Imperial Capital focused more attention on the topic of what would happen to the battle between the Crusaders and the rebels than such.
That would be natural, too. If the Crusaders continue to lose, the next battle is likely to be closer to the Imperial City, because if civil unrest doesn't subside as it is, the Imperial City could even be a battlefield.
It is also a story that is already quite well known that rebel positions are located at a distance of about two days from the Imperial capital - only the time it takes to travel normally, and the movement of the army takes longer.
Beyond that, some of the inhabitants of Imperial Capital have just escaped saying that they are sorry to be involved in civil unrest.
In addition, even for those who came to the tournament and watched the Imperial City only after that, it is the same, and many are lined up for the procedure in front of the main entrance every day in an effort to get out of the Imperial City a little early.
Naturally, among those who escaped from the imperial capital in that way, there is also the hand of Theorem.
Both the 1st and 2nd princes are wary of such people, but unlike the Merclios, where only the rebels gathered and created their positions temporarily, there are countless people in the Imperial capital.
There was no way I could manage all of them, and the rebels were consequently advancing in their favor in the sense of intelligence warfare.
Those who thus escape from the Imperial Capital head straight to the rebel positions.
However, naturally some of the crusaders are scouting rebel positions, so don't let them find you.
Even for the rebels, the opponents who have entered their positions will be seen as dangerous and eliminated, but from a distance… if that is a reconnaissance from a distance sufficient to ensure they can escape even if they are chased by the rebels, they will not do anything to get their hands on it.
No, the reconnaissance from that distance is almost harmless, so is it accurate that it is left alone?
Of course, many rebels argue that it is better to capture and kill everyone, including those who are doing such reconnaissance.
However, it is difficult to enter the rebels unless they are specially trained, but even ordinary soldiers are sufficient for viewing from afar.
In other words, no matter how many of them we capture or kill, there is no cut.
Ning Ro, there is a possibility that the supplies consumed for this purpose will become more expensive as a result.
And if there is dust, it will be a mountain. It is only a matter of words that I would have liked to avoid had the supplies been made less luxurious to the rebels compared to the Crusaders.
The result is that you basically don't have any particular hands for what you're scouting from afar.
The basics here are that if you're close when you're exorcising monsters and bandits that are near rebel positions, they can finally attack you.
Alternatively, soldiers who have seen things and people that should not be found are similarly deprived of their lives.
"Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa!
Yes, like this.
The soldier, who should have hidden himself in the woods, loses his life screaming as soon as he realizes something that flew towards him.
Later all that remained was a corpse whose head was shattered and from the neck to the top turned into a piece of flesh.
Around them were things such as the brain marrow, bones, meat, blood and body fluids, which should also be called ruptured head wreckage, snapped into the trees, or scattered on the ground, with a strong smell of blood.
"Good day, Captain Ray. As for this corpse, we will process it appropriately after we have examined the information that can be found here."
"Oh, please"
Taking the death size that had been placed on the ground from the spear-throwing position, Ray nods back at the words of the person acting together.
Being on this occasion was one who was recognised by the rebel upper echelons as having the ability to endure and excel in training with Ray and Seto, and Theorem was looking to assemble those soldiers to create an elite force.
It is, nominally, Ray who leads it. It is essentially to be led by a person who has now had a conversation with Ray, a soldier named Palenix who has travelled from Theorem's troops.
The reason why such a unit was originally to be formed was due to the fact that, beyond the growing number of insurgents, there was talk that even if Ray was treated as a guerrilla unit, there would be no indication that there was only one unit.
The result was a discussion between Ray, who insisted that he and one of Seto should be alone only... and Theorem, who thought it would be useful to have a force to follow Ray when something happened, which resulted in Ray breaking.
Still, I hope you don't mind Ray being able to bend Heso here. Theorame suggests that in the end Ray and the troops usually act separately and operate the guerrilla force in such a way that Ray puts that unit under his command and acts together when needed, and Ray accepts that too.
A total of thirty elite troops besides Palenix were to be given to Ray, meaning that soldiers were also required to have the corresponding strength beyond acting with Ray.
"Damn, you won't be able to find me or these guys for watching from outside the position, but I wonder what's bothering to follow you all the way into the woods. Bad luck guy."
Ray whines looking at the body being transported.
To such a ray, the soldiers around them send a frightened gaze.
It was Ray's spear throw of his main means of ranged attack, but he never used it in a martial arts tournament, and he's never used it since he joined the rebels.
In other words, those here saw Ray's spear throw in their eyes for the first time, which many would know if they were adventurers in the Guild.
"Grrrrrrrr"
Ray strokes his head with a grin as Seto, next to Ray, turns his gaze as he throats.
There is no such thing as guilt in the expression of having taken a man's life earlier.
This was not about Ray himself being ruthless, but a reaction because he sees his opponent purely as an enemy.
"Well, we'll continue our training. If it means moving with me and Seto, I want you to know what we're capable of."
Hearing Ray's words, the soldiers have conflicting feelings in their hearts: mild regrets and expectations.
It is already known that this force is an elite force, and if we can survive this civil unrest safely, we will undoubtedly be counted as one of the heroes.
... Yes. If I can survive, yes.
Because there is no doubt that this unit will be put into a tough spot among the battlefields, beyond being elite.
Even rebels are less powerful than crusaders, so there's no way they can afford to keep troops proud of their high combat power playing.
So this is how Ray is supposed to be trained. Soldiers, knights, adventurers. To survive without those hedges.
"Me and Seto. Well, I don't know what to say, but we're pretty strong for once."
To that word, the hearts of the soldiers I was hearing were, 'That's not quite where you are!' and become one in my heart.
Though no one actually spoke of it.
If I had spoken of it, there would have been some decisions that would have made the training to be conducted more demanding.
Is the accuracy of judgment around here just such a thing as just being summoned by elite troops?
... Even if they heard about it, they wouldn't have been happy at all.
I cannot say no at the time I was called to this unit, and the rewards are high and the path to birth is open, but that is all if I survive.
High-risk high returns in the literal sense are not a pleasure for the soldiers who actually belong there.
"So, it's only natural that you guys need a lot more strength than to act with us sometimes. Yeah, of course, I know you guys are the elite units of the rebels, but it's also true that there are still parts of them that are somewhat missing.... Specifically, he wants combat power to the extent of a Rank C Adventurer"
Blinking occurs in that voice from those who were listening to Ray.
That would be so. When it comes to Rank C Adventurers, they are among the top veterans. It doesn't get to Rank B, which is called first-rate, but you can still say it has a lot of strength compared to the average soldiers.
It means asking all the soldiers in this room for that much strength, so surely one of the twitches will happen.
"Be quiet! We haven't finished talking about Captain Ray yet! Make a scene after that!
To the screams of Pale Nix, a stifling voice that is perfect and quiet.
Ray opens his mouth again, looking at thirty of his own men like that.
"Anyway, that's why. Conduct combat training now. As for the contents, there's each of you scattered in these woods, and after about enough time, I'll go after them. So if you give me a blow with this weapon, he's disqualified, and if you give me a blow, he'll pass, and I'll give him some bounty."
Tell him so, Ray taking out a long sword for mock warfare from inside the mistering.
The soldiers who saw it exhale unexpectedly in relief.
Because when it comes to Ray, he was famous for his death size, which is longer than his height.
Those who wanted to fight Ray, who had the Great Sickle with such a huge blade, did not exist in this at all.
Wouldn't some be hard to use in the woods if they were the size of a death size? Some thought so, but some of the deep red rumors were that they would chop and tear without even metal armor, and some of these people who took part in the spring war are actually watching the scene.
There are no suicide applicants in this who would like to fight Ray, who can also take it seriously with a death size.
Only those who can recognize a crisis as a crisis and have the drive and the strength to survive it are here.
Not very much, but I never wanted to fight Ray with Death Size.
"Oh, and don't worry. I'm the only one chasing you today. And be careful because only in the woods can you escape, and those who go out of the woods will receive more rigorous training as disqualifications."
……
Unexpectedly, the soldiers cease to say what came out of Ray's mouth.
I've been trained by Ray several times before.
Skills to acquire enough magic to visualize from the body, training to endure a ray with even half physical pressure without retreating a step against the opponent, such that he cannot expand the armor of the king and stand in front of him. Another day training such as being confronted with exposed signs of Seto's murderous fierceness, a Rank A monster.
I didn't specifically train them to do mock warfare or anything.
But still... after the training, even a few people can stand, and so on and so on.
It's heard to be more rigorous training than that, and you won't be able to tell the soldiers to motivate them, whether they tell you they're going to get a bounty.
But Ray opens his mouth relentlessly to such soldiers.
"Ready? I'll be moving out in just enough time.... Begin!
With the words, thirty soldiers scatter into the woods at once.
Still, inadvertently not making the sound of shaking footsteps or grass would be the source of what is said to be elite.
... I wouldn't be very happy if we tried it in person, because we were to be assigned to Ray's unit because we were strong enough to be called elite.
It's been long enough to drop off the soldiers who disappeared into the woods, and eventually Ray starts acting again.
Seto fell asleep on the spot when he dropped off that back in silence a little further away.
When you meditate on your eyes as they are, you can understand the surrounding area to sensations such as Seto's acute hearing and sense of smell, and sensations of magic.
Seto is not trying to help Ray, but to see if there are any Crusaders around him, like the soldiers on surveillance earlier.
Such a ceto, Ray was running through the woods.
I don't use the King's armor any more than there are things like grass and branches, and above all I have to make sure I don't kill the soldiers.
Just stick it in with your vegan physical abilities and eventually find the first one lurking in the bush.
"Become!?
You noticed Ray coming straight at you, a soldier who accidentally leaks a startling voice.
But Ray doesn't mind that, he gently wields a long sword for simulated warfare and strikes a soldier.
Stay out of the woods.
Tell that to the attacked soldier, Ray going through the woods to find another soldier again.
The soldier who sees it exhales and leaves out of the woods.
That's about twenty minutes later...... eventually the training ends when the last one comes out of the woods.
"Well, good job at first. I was pretty good at getting confused naturally. Just..."
That's what I said, and when I tried to say something, I noticed a cavalry coming towards us.
When the cavalry arrives near Ray, he quickly descends from the horse and graces himself, opening his mouth only quickly.
"Lord Ray, please return to the emergency formation! A new crusader has been dispatched!
