Legend

Rays When the guerrilla units returned to the rebel positions and reported on the results cited in this battle, silence surrounded the tents where the rebel heads were gathered.

Those who did not know what measures Ray would take on the spot do not know what Ray is talking about. What can I do to achieve this and possibly not cod? Some of them came looking at me like that.

I fully understand how powerful Ray himself is, but knowing it was incredible.

"Duh, how... how did you get all that out of it!?

"That's right. I do know enough about the power of Lord Ray. But such as not allowing the enemy to withdraw... so incredible! Oh, no. Of course it's not that Lord Ray is lying."

The gaze of the aristocrats who told him so was directed towards Palenix, who was refraining behind it, not Ray.

If Ray was the only one who reported earlier, some would have argued that it was unbelievable.

But when Theorem's men, who are essentially extracting this rebel army, testify to it, there is less room for doubt.

No, there are still those who doubt it, but they don't imitate it like they put it in their mouths.

It was easy to predict that such an imitation would make things tasteless.

"... that's just deep red,"

"Oh. I heard the story, but I didn't know you were really going to mention the consequences of this"

Contrary to those who are confused, some are exchanging words in a calm manner.

These are the people who were informed in advance of what Ray would do.

Ray said that it is an assessment with measures that cannot even be called measures, and in fact that is never a ingenious measure if you try it on the nobles.

Still, it was true that Ray had devastated almost all of the Crusaders, and given the consequences, it was no longer a question of what the measures were.

Even if it is a preliminary measure, its effects will jump if the power of those who carry it out is out of digits.

I understood that and once again had to understand the out-of-consciousness power of an adventurer named Ray.

"... stupid..."

"Lying, isn't it?

"No... no..."

Those who marvel at the results of Ray's battle. And those who know what measures Ray has taken and have a convincing look at the outcome.

Those in the magic tent were generally divided into one of those two reactions, but there are also some who react neither of them.

... Yes. Those who were originally contemplating betraying the rebels in the midst of the battle against the Crusaders.

These three nobles naturally didn't know what means Ray intended to use against the Crusaders, but still, no way, they never thought they could name the extraordinary results so far.

"That's just great. It's more powerful than I ever heard."

"Right. You mean you were still doing the trick when you fought me? Next time you fight, you need to be serious."

When Merclio smiles and says a word of admiration, Gurgasto nods to agree with it.

It's just not a laugh of praise like Merclio that Gurgasto is floating around. You should describe it as a fierce grin like a carnivore before prey.

"Oh, that's cunning. Gurgast fought Ray, so it's my turn now, right?

It's Vihera who hangs the wait there. It's true that you have feelings for Ray, but that doesn't mean you don't have to fight Ray.

For a while here, I was a little disgruntled because the battle with Ray itself had not taken place.

... Even if I say most insatiable, what is there is not a general sense of insatiable desire, but an insatiable desire for what should be called a battle desire.

Watching such an exchange between the two, Tiyur is turning a surprisingly convincing look to Ray.

He is the one whom his beloved Vihera fell in love with. It would be natural to do this.

Ning Ro, there is even the thought that it would be a slight reduction in the failure to completely annihilate the Crusaders.

Even Vihela was saddened by the loss of life of the Bestian Empire man, but in Tiyur's case, the sadness is remembered, but not that great.

I guess the difference in thoughts around here comes from the difference between those who are still intoxicated by Vihela and those who are.

"So... who's got the seized supplies?

Of all the excited, it was Theorem who asked so calmly.

This is true for Vihela, but I am not particularly surprised that Ray cites this degree of battle only for those who have seen Ray's strength directly in his eyes.

I guess Ray himself understands that. the sight of the surrounding admiration...... some of them turn a heartbreaking gaze, opening their mouths just saying it's nothing.

"It's in the mistering. I can always get it out... right away?

"Oh, I want you to. I'll guide you after this meeting, so please do it there."

"But as promised, when it comes to spears..."

"I know."

Short word exchange.

In this night raid operation, Ray was asking the rebels for all sorts of impossibilities.

This is true, for example, for horses ridden by guerrilla troops.

A horse with first-rate or more abilities for every horse. Getting that accommodated for the number of people was a corresponding burden even for the rebels.

One of the conditions for you to hear about that impossibility was to accommodate the Crusaders' supplies Ray obtained.

Most of the supplies obtained as rays have never been anything like that.

As also emerged in the conversation with Theorem, it would not have been spared to give all the spears to the rebels later if I had received them.

Silver coins, gold coins and even white gold coins were among the supplies for purchasing supplies from the surrounding cities and villages at times of need, but Ray was not in trouble with gold in the first place.

Because we already make money to the extent that people live their whole lives if they just live normal.

... but it's also true that that's not enough given Ray's lifespan.

If we hand over the supplies we have taken from the Crusaders to the rebels, it will be Ray's and naturally the guerrilla unit's.

Ray himself still has something he doesn't like when he says he will lead the troops, but the troops that those close to him have struggled to make, starting with Theorem.

The fact that we worked together on this operation does not make us feel somewhat united.

And if the guerrilla forces cite a handful, that naturally affects those who pay and treat them.

(Ma, even during this civil unrest alone, it's the troops I've been given. I made him unscrupulous about thirty to deal with the Crusaders or something, so it wouldn't be weird to give him some good eyes)

Then he explains from the mouth of Ray and Palenix how this night raid was carried out and how the battle was headed to an end, and eventually the topic moves on to the soble of the only prisoner gained in this battle.

"Soble. Brother Kabazid, you are known as one of my direct reports."

When Merclio squeals, various opinions are voiced by other executives.

"You should kill him!

"No, wait. It is true that it will be a valid hand note against His Highness Kabazid. Using his figure here as bait, some sort of bargaining with His Highness Kabazid..."

"It's no use. Indeed, His Highness Kabazid has a merciful side to his men. But he is also a person who can make the decision to cut it off lightly if necessary. With that in mind, this would be the place to cut it off"

"But when it comes to Soble, you're the man who's said to be powerful enough to be among the 1st Crown Princes or the Heavy Town? Do you trump someone like that so easily?

"I will."

It was Merclio who broke into the words of such people as rebel executives, nobles and adventurers as mercenaries.

It was usually a Merclio that emitted some light atmosphere, but in one word now it was as strong as steel.

The words of Merclio gather the gaze of those who were there.

Vihera had a slight sorrow in her eyes, Theorem nodded convincingly, and Tiyur and Gurgasto and Ray left their expressions unchanged in particular.

And the other nobles look at it with surprise.

"Brother Kabazid will not hesitate to take that means if he decides that it is a sacrifice necessary to win. You put me under house arrest, for example. Although, the rumors that followed seem to have developed quite differently than the first one I was thinking about."

It was somehow possible to predict who was responsible for that rumor since the beginning of this civil war.

Given who is most pleased with this situation, the answer is familiar.

Understanding that for a moment the thought strayed aside, Merclio shook his head small before continuing his words.

"In Brother Schulz's case, I think it's possible to negotiate because he has a strong love for his men. But in Brother Kabazid's case, you can think of no negotiation first. If this was not my direct report, but a faction nobleman, I guess the story would have been different..."

Chirali, and Merclio gazing at Ray.

But the gaze is more interesting than blaming.

One of the nobles who was following that gaze opens his mouth towards Ray.

"Lord Ray, if we were to take him prisoner, wouldn't you say that nobility would have been better than a man named Soble?

While asking that, I guess there is something to think about the achievements Ray has shown, and above all its power to destroy less than thirty - essentially individually - crusaders.

It's quite convenient to blame... one way or the other, it was the right way to ask.

In response to such aristocracy, Ray opens his mouth without changing his expression in particular.

"The place that became the battlefield was less than a day from the Imperial capital. It's an operation deep within the enemy's sphere of influence. Then, naturally, you can't imitate taking many prisoners. That Soble was taken prisoner only by chance. Where he escaped the position, he ate an attack by a guerrilla force and tied him up where he had fallen.... Wasn't it?

Asking Chirali and Palenix, who is holding back behind him, the person nods small.

"Yes, I didn't aim and take him prisoner, it was a real coincidence"

"... I see. I know why I did not take captives of the noble kind, but captivated a man named Soble. Then I couldn't help it...... I guess"

"Yes, and according to the information we have here, the nobles who participated in this crusade are the first to be unable to succeed the governor in the way that many of them are three or four men."

"I guess. If you are a second son, you can still expect some treatment, which means a spare for your eldest son..."

The other nobles nod similarly to the words of Palenix.

Of the rebel executives, the most are naturally aristocrats.

That would naturally be more than centered on troops led by Theorem, third princesses, and former second princesses drawn in by Vihera.

And there was more to the word that came out of Palenix's mouth than being aristocratic.

Most of all, there were no adventurers or mercenaries who could agree to that.

When some awkward atmosphere spreads inside the magic tent, Tiyur opens his mouth to see if he hated it.

"Whatever, we rebels continued to win the last battle... it is true that it also won overwhelmingly. I was wondering if this victory was big enough that maybe we could decide where the civil unrest went. So I suggest that this report of victory be circulated throughout the Bestian Empire"

"I see. It would certainly be huge that the rebels won the streak. Dear Merclio, I wonder if Tiyur's opinion should be adopted, too, but what do you think?

When Theorem asks, Merclio nods without looking troubled.

"Right. This matter will undoubtedly be a major chase for us. Besides, the Crusaders won't be able to move for a while on this one."

"Right. Brother Schulz, it will be difficult for you to move the nobles in the ransom negotiations with the faction nobles, and Brother Kabazid, there is an urgent need to restore your strength than the crusaders formed this time have suffered near destruction. Sister Frizione..."

Ray somehow guesses at Vihera with a meaningful grin.

I guess we decided to take the suggestion that it be on ourselves, which was in the parent book that Widare brought.

Seeing Ray like that, Vihera also understood that Ray had guessed Merclio's thoughts. Turn a small grin.

(Since both Brother Schulus and Brother Kabazide cannot move, there is no other way to rendezvous with Sister Frizione. However, naturally, there is no reason to put a lot of power out of the rebels to escape from the Imperial capital... then again, it is the individual and highly combative who will be the key)

Vihella's gaze was directed at Gurgasto and Theorem.... and Ray.

(Theorem can't leave here any more than he's practically in command of the rebels. When that happens, I guess things like me, Gurgast, Ray....... although I'm a little worried that everyone is quite famous in the Imperial Capital)

Considering that this civil unrest was finally over and headed towards the middle, Vihera had a glossy grin looking forward to fighting her more powerful opponent behind her back.
