What spreads around is the sight of all things… and people burned to the ground.
The wreckage of a tent, the wreckage of a carriage, the wreckage of weapons and protective equipment, and… the wreckage of a person.
The sight that, even in the wreckage, everything is turned into charcoal and will collapse if it is also a slight impact.
Such was Ray's appearance in a sight that, until a few hours ago, was very unlikely to be a position where nearly six thousand people were spending time.
However, he does not have the same attitude that can be described as arrogant shores as usual, and he strokes Seto's head standing next to him and rubbing his head like he is tired somewhere.
"Grrrrrrrrrr"
Ray opens his mouth with a bitter smile at Seto, who rattles his throat to comfort him.
"Never mind. I didn't expect that either. Besides... the primary purpose was served, as well as the secondary purpose. If you look only at the results, everything will be a success.... Though I never thought it would be this hard"
Groaning and gazing is mysterious embedded in your own right arm.
It houses food, weapons, protective equipment, fodder for military horses and horses pulling carriages, carriages, military funds and even tents that were at the Crusaders' positions.
Mystering can't hold organisms, so nothing like the military horses and horses the Crusaders were leading, but they were still successful in securing much of the supplies to feed the 6,000 Crusaders.
This was what Ray got while the guerrilla troops around him attacked the soldiers of the Crusaders desperately trying to escape the entrance and exit of the fence.
It turned out to be exactly what I was after from the beginning, but the reason Ray is so exhausted. That's in a fire whirlwind created by Ray himself.
The fire whirlwind created in the previous war with the Bestian Empire was when the LV of the wind hand was 2, and it did move somewhat but basically only to the extent of error.
However, the wind hand used by Ray this time was Lv.3, and the result was an incredible move around compared to what he had previously made.
Still using the wind hand, Ray finds out he can manage to control it, albeit to some extent, by robbing supplies while moving a fire whirlwind.
Even if I say I can control the fire whirlwind, it's just the rough stuff of moving it over there to some extent, moving it over here, and it's not like I can order you not to get out of this position, for example.
In other words, the fire whirlwind, which was ravaging the position endlessly, was the result of Ray managing to keep it from moving outside the position.
In that situation, Ray ran around the position with Seto and took as many tents and other things as he could on various supplies.
Some of them, of course, were crusaders who blamed the appearance of such a ray, but those figures have been eliminated by Ceto, who has let the task of controlling fire whirlwinds and seizing supplies get in the way.
The annihilation of enemy crusaders and the seizure of supplies. The hand that Ray struck because it would burn anyway as it was turned out to be all as expected...... no, I'd say it was more successful than expected.
Most importantly, this time it will be handled as a guerrilla unit when it comes to the taking of supplies, but it is not handled as a Ray individual.
Though Theorem had given me the saying that I want you to expect me to get paid after the civil unrest.
"Captain Ray!
Ray, who was looking at the wreckage of the position, returns to me with such a voice.
It was the figure of Palenix, also a substantial commander of the guerrilla forces, who was in the audible.
But Ray gave a strange look, and Seto tilted his neck as he throated, a figure being taken by several guerrilla soldiers following behind Palenix.
From Ray's eyes, he seems to be working out to some extent, but he doesn't seem very much in the main position.
But those eyes. There is a bandage wrapped around his right shoulder, a rope tied around his hips that prevents him from moving freely, and a soldier from the guerrilla force standing further to his left and right is alerting the man.
Despite that situation, the man's gaze was pitifully directed towards Ray and Seto, who stood next to him.
Given its standing and the quality of the equipment it is wearing, it is clear that it is definitely not in the category of one soldier of the Crusading Army.
Ray also observes the man while we are being observed that way, and Palenix and the others arrive close.
"Thank you, Palenix. So what about this guy? You look like a man of a good name."
"Yes, this man is a man named Soble, who excels in intelligence among His Highness's factions. He succeeded in capturing where he had escaped from a group that had escaped this position during the night raid. Unfortunately, most of those who escaped together..."
"Never mind. Sure, I wish I could have totally annihilated you here, but that doesn't go as convenient over here. Perhaps there are quite a few other survivors besides them.... even so, Soble? Oh, I see."
Ray gives a convincing look to the name that came out of Palenix's mouth.
The name was heard as a troublesome opponent among the 1st Prince, and above all as the person who carried out the raid against the White Rose Knights.
So I'm a little surprised that such a person is in front of me.
"You took him prisoner."
"Yes. Fortunately, I knew the face of a man named Soble, and the battle trend was determined."
If it was meant to be, the life of Soble, who had fallen horseback with his right shoulder pierced by an arrow, was gone and deserved it.
In fact, the guerrilla soldiers tried to release an arrow again towards the soble that was falling on the ground, but Palenix stopped it.
Speaking of why there was Palenix there, it was just on that occasion that reinforcements soldiers came and came worried about the new sounds of destruction they had heard in a paragraph.
I realize it's a positive move at the expense of many of my allies, which means they're important people because they're the ones who were trying to escape even though they did so much damage. I checked his face for thoughts like that, and the person was sobble.
"You're taking this guy prisoner? I think it's better to kill him here, given all the planning and the unwanted commotion that's going to happen."
"No, this man's body should also be important to His Highness Kabazid. It will be more negotiating material for this one than it is"
"... right, though. What do you think, as far as you're concerned?
Ray stops talking to Palenix once and turns his gaze toward Soble.
Soble takes that gaze head-on.
He has no way of looking upset when he says he is being told in front of him what will happen to his life.
(Heh, you got guts)
While admiring how such a sobble looks, Ray doesn't move his expression.
Shut up and gaze at each other, for about thirty seconds.
Eventually, Soble opens his mouth.
"Deep Red. I didn't know you were really giving it to the rebels"
"I guess you expected that to mean you could say that, huh?
"There was information that it might be. But considering he didn't show up at the last fight, it's unlikely he's merging. That's what I was thinking...... I should have brought Rhodos in on this"
Rodos. Ray's eyebrows move pickly the moment that name comes up.
That's a certain amount of agitation that you wouldn't normally have to worry about.
But in this case, they were too bad.
"You know Rodos?
Ray naturally nods back at Soble, who asks him to confirm something.
"I know that. Me and Rhodos have been dating since we were in the Guild in the first place, and we were with the request for an escort until we came to the Bestian Empire. Besides, we fought at the fight."
"... that's all, huh?
"Something seems to be wrong..."
So when I cut the words, the next moment I wield the death size I took out of mystering and stick the blade to the neck muscle of the soble.
For a moment... in Soble's eyes, the blade existed there almost without knowing what had happened.
Whereas Ray tells him in action that he can prune his life at any time, Soble turns his gaze to Ray just saying that it doesn't matter.
……
Time appears to cross his gaze silently again, but Palenix watches the two behave without saying anything about it.
Even with Pale Nix, there was a desire to determine how many people named Ray existed.
As far as combat power is concerned, it goes without saying at the earliest.
The war in the Seremouth Plains in the spring was ravaged by earlier crusader positions.
Then the next one is...... so there was also the side that I brought Soble to this occasion.
The first to break such silence was Ray, who put the Death Size back on hand, which was poking at Soble's neck.
"You think about your position and then you say things. The question is this way, and all you can do is take some blame for not answering it, or you can answer again and buy your own safety.... Well, many of our troops hate you for holding Merclio under house arrest and trying to take his life."
Merclio, Soble is surprised that he didn't give it the honor.
Maybe the person in front of you can make it the biggest rival of the current Kabazid and make a difference to those who are after the status of other emperors at once if they can be defeated. Not good with Merclio? and.
But unlike Ray, I didn't imitate it slightly.
"You think I sell my master's information so easily?
"You can make your own decisions about that area. It's the rebels, not me, who interrogate and torture you."
Take him.
When ordered so briefly, Palenix takes Soble in solidarity with the two men who were overwhelmed by Ray's atmosphere.
Dropping off behind that, Ray considers his earlier act as he strokes Seto rubbing his head on.
(about Rhodos...... were you okay? It's because you know me that I got that attitude. I hope you get me wrong like that)
I understood that I didn't like the kind of abdominal arts myself, but it was still a painful failure to get slightly on my face there.
"We'll have to be careful next time."
He groans to change his mood and turns his gaze around again.
Until not too long ago, this place, known as the Crusader's position, already had a view that could only be called a battlefield trail.
It's also a battlefield of unilaterally attacked results.
At least no one will see this sight and think it's a peaceful one.
"Anyway, now the first arrow, the second arrow, released from the empire, was broken together. I hear the third arrow is going to rendezvous with us... for a while? No, if Frizione takes action to join the rebels, we'll have to get our hands on it too"
While thinking about it, Ray also understands that both Schuls and Kabazid still have quite a bit of leeway left.
The first crusaders were formed because Schulz recognized that they were unusable among the second prince factions, and there should still be many capable ones.
And this crusader formed in the 1st prince faction.
It was not a talent that could not be used like the first Crusaders, it was made up of Ning Ro competent people.
It would certainly be painful for Kabazid that it could hardly survive and came close to total annihilation.
But if you turn it into a 1st prince faction with a large pool of competent talent, it's certainly not a painful but irrevocable painful one.
In other words, the 1st and 2nd principals, both of which are still hostile to the rebels led by Merclio, will have enough force left.
(The last battle and this one turned out to be an overwhelming victory over here. But... you shouldn't think that it's going to be so easy to fight next time. If he didn't know I was here, maybe he could have done the same thing again.)
Whimpering inside, Ray's brain brings to mind the appearance of a face-to-face sobble earlier.
Those who were with the Soble have succeeded in escaping from the position. That way, they'll know how this battle went on over there.
(At the very least, I hope Kabazid is the only one who can bring in the information...... is it difficult)
Ray, who had no information that Schulss's hands were mixed with the devastated Crusaders, thinks so.
This battle was only a thrust of alarm that he did not know that his presence was in the rebels, and furthermore he was camping in this place about a day's distance from the Imperial capital.
I never thought the same hand would work.
When that happens, what happens next will be a decent bump...
(Figured the next fight, it's going to be pretty tough)
I looked up at the brilliant moon in the night sky when I said I wasn't interested in battles on the ground or anything, and I was somewhat sorry to hear the sound of the bugs that stopped hearing the effects of the fire whirlwind, whining inside.
