Although the Frizione army was moving towards rendezvous with the rebels while questioning the current situation on the streets, the anxiety it had, including Ray, was neutral.
"Here we go again! It's from the woods by the street! The number is about fifteen!
Those of the Frizione army who were on the side of the forest immediately intercept the surrounding voices.
"Hi-ha! A treasure!
"Give me the money and the woman!
Bandits coming out of the woods screaming like that attack the Frizione army.
Of course, the Frizione Army has all of them, so there's no point in being attacked by bandits.
Still, if it is an aggressive counterattack, there is a slight time lag until it moves into action, and if it goes on and on, it becomes fatigued and attacks, further slowing the movement.
If we could have defeated the bandits who attacked us, we might have increased our morale just because our achievements are visible...
"Ooh, we're getting away!
"Damn, it's too soon to get your attitude together!
"You're not running, you're retreating, you're temporarily retreating!
We see that the Frizione army has made an attitude before coming into contact with the bandits. No, we withdraw quickly from the scene.
Besides, it's an aside that he uses a bow to shoot an arrow at me.
So as soon as the foot of the pursuit becomes dull for a moment, the bandits leave the scene.
The soldiers asked for permission to pursue them up, but given this cleverly repeated raids and retreats, that if they pursued them poorly, they were likely to be ambushing them, that they could be attacked from a different angle where the line was disturbed for the pursuit, and above all, that this was probably in the hands of Kabazid, or Schuls, there was no reason to take a detour.
However, the fact that the elite Frizione army continues to be hit by bandits reduces morale.
Fortunately, morale is not that low yet, but it was visible that it would eventually happen as it was.
"So, it's our turn. Seto!"
"Grrrrrrrr!"
To Ray's voice, Seto honks high and flies towards the sky after a few steps of help.
It was unclear by what means the bandits were waiting, but if we still put in Ray and Ceto, who are individuals and have comparable powers to the one army, we could clean up the bandits without any problems.
Under that kind of judgment, we go after the bandits Ray and Seto escaped.
Of course I had an opinion that I should send Ray and Seto before.
But given that this is a measure of Kabazid and Schuls, that there is a good chance that Ray will come after something in the gap that left Frizione's army, so I couldn't get it out to let him out... Again and again, when bandits attacked me, I was worried about my morale decline, and in the end, Ray and Seto decided to deploy.
"Running into the woods is certainly not a bad idea. But that doesn't make sense when you turn me and Seto against the enemy. Hey, Seto?
"Grr!"
Ray whines over the bandits, who are winging and moving to sew trees in the woods.
The influence of the White Rose Knights and the Frizione army with many cavalry to rendezvous with the rebels, but few of them are able to enter the woods.
In that sense, the bandits used their heads too... but I guess they never thought they were being chased from the sky.
Or maybe it would have been otherwise if Ray or Seto had known he was acting with the Frizione army, but someone who thought of this measure would have made such an important matter… That was how they were supposed to be chased from the sky without being informed that if the bandits had heard, they might have escaped.
Most of all, we can only chase bandits fleeing through the woods where evergreen trees thrive because we have a griffon ceto.
Even if he were a dragon knight, no one would have a sharper vision than Seto... not for the record, but very few.
(This is why you threw the Dragon Knight away and pawned and attacked us? No, if there's a dragon knight over here, anyway, that dragon knight is the power on the other side. Yeah, and even imitating it to wear out for nothing, there's only damage to it... what are you seriously after?
As far as bandits are concerned, it was understandable that the aim was to slow down the march of the Frizione army at all.
However, the answer has not yet been reached as to why the Dragon Knight was wasted.
Just because I don't understand it, Kabazid and Schuls' competencies combined remained an unresolved anxiety in the lay.
"Gru?"
You must have noticed how Ray was troubled by his own back. What's the matter with you? And without turning his neck back - because he's chasing a bandit under his eyes - he strokes Seto's neck in front of him with the willingness to rattle his throat, that Ray is nothing.
We tracked down the bandits fleeing through the woods under such circumstances, and after about thirty minutes... we finally arrived at the place where the bandits were gathered.
It is the side of the place where the river is flowing, where the sun is only getting better because the trees are not growing.
There were only more than fifty bandits gathered there, each generous.
"Well, I don't know what to do... it doesn't make sense that I'm going to take them all down to get the information."
If you just put it together and knock it down, it's not that hard for Ray to use the magic of flames.
Even where the bandits are gathering is open, the woods are the woods.
If you use magic poorly, it can mean that the air is dry in the fall and you risk extending the burning.
Therefore, the magic used will need to be restricted in various ways, but if the range of effects is adjusted successfully, the places where the bandits under your eyes are gathered are open to such an extent that you don't need to worry about extending the burn.
"I need someone who knows so much about the information, even if I want to get it out... I can't help it, do I have to smash it individually in the end? Seto, please."
"Gru!"
Ringing out loud to Ray's words, he goes straight to the ground... and goes down to where the bandits are gathering.
Some of the bandits who were indulgent seemed sharp, and some fled the scene as soon as they saw Seto approaching.
"... Shit, Seto. You ask the guy who just escaped. Bring him in alive, except if you can't help it. There's a chance he knows the information."
"Grrrrrrrr"
Ringing, don't land on the ground. No, Seto goes straight to the back of the woods.
The bandits silently pass Seto without understanding what's going on.
Watching those bandits, Ray sets up the death size he took out of the mistering and opens his mouth.
"Well, you guys have two paths. One, surrender to me and tell me what you know. Two, it's not a good idea to surrender to me, to resist. Naturally, as far as I'm concerned, I'd like you to choose your first option. What do you want me to do?
It was Ray swinging Death Size to tell for intimidation, but he probably chose a second option, I thought.
Even if you're wearing a hood, your physique is pretty small right now, because if you have a ceto, you're sure to still be seen as an accommodating opponent.
But...
"Okay, I surrender."
"Me too."
"Oh, me too"
Totally unexpected for Ray, many bandits drop the weapons they had on the ground and choose the path of surrender.
(What's happening?
While I doubt it, Ray accepts surrender very much because there are just more sources if you're going to surrender greatly.
But naturally, all the bandits don't choose the path of surrender...
"What are you talking about, you guys! You're too weak to surrender a kid like this to your opponent!
"Oh, yeah! One of these kids, we can all hang up!
The bandits who blame those who chose to surrender verbally and point the weapons they had at Ray.
How many, maybe twenty?
This would mean that more than half chose to surrender.
"Idiot! What are you talking about is this dialogue over here! You, you don't know! You saw that griffon earlier!? There's only one bandit-eating deep red guy on a griffon with a sickle as his weapon! You think you can fight a guy like that and win!?
The bandits who chose to surrender give a startling look to the words of the bandits who chose to fight thoroughly.
... Most of all, Ray didn't change again in terms of being stunned.
(Deep red is pretty widespread. But he eats bandits, he eats bandits. In the first place, if you're in the kingdom of Mireana, you've hardly defeated a bandit since you came to the Bestian Empire, have you? But why...)
Think that far and understand abruptly.
(I see there are bandits fleeing the kingdom of Mireana? Well, I guess it's not all my fault.... maybe. No, you mean they say bandit eating, maybe it's all my fault?
Wave Death Size Again while thinking inside.
Huh, the sound of slashing and tearing the air attracts the consciousness of the bandits who were on the spot even though they didn't like it.
"There's plenty of guys to surrender, and then you guys are trying to challenge me to a fight, and I don't need you anymore.... Come."
Quick, and when I invited him to provoke me with his fingers, I guess that trick put blood on my head. Three bandits strike at Ray at once, gazing at each other.
"Don't be ridiculous, you fucking kid!
"You think you can beat this difference in numbers, wow!
"Whoa, whoa, whoa!
Sticks, long swords, battle axes.
They were bandits coming at Ray with each weapon in their hands, but in the next moment the death-size blow that Ray waved across the horizontal giraffe caused all three of them to split their bodies on their upper and lower bodies and scatter blood, guts and meat on the ground.
Strong iron rust odor spreading around.
At the same time Ray waved, a sickle blow that only seemed a flash of light in the eyes of the bandit.
Even though they were equipped with leather armor for ease of movement, the will of those who were contemplating defying Ray shriveled rapidly when they saw the sight of that armor severed without any use whatsoever.
"Now, is there anyone else out there who wants to fight me? If you're here, step forward. I don't run or hide. Well, instead, I won't let you guys get away with it."
Ray flashes the death size and pays for the blood that was attached to the blade.
Though he said he wouldn't let them get away with it, in fact, if the bandits had escaped simultaneously at this point, some of them would have been able to escape.
Most importantly, it is clear that many will be killed by the Great Sickle if they escape, so no one was placed on a less likely bet to succeed.
Also, at the same time, there is a way for everyone to survive by escaping, and I could say that it is impossible to expect that much collaboration from this bandit group, which can be called the U.N. crowd.
If we had a leader of the Bandits, maybe we would have talked differently...
"Okay, so you're all surrendering. Who's leading this band of bandits?
I ask Ray that, and everyone looks around like they're confused somewhere.
"Is that it? What's your head?
"I should have been there earlier..."
"Hey, did you possibly just run away yourself!?
With the bandits grunting, Ray understands.
Earlier, it was the one leading this bandit group who escaped with Seto's descent.
(I see, that seemed sharp)
I saw Seto come down. No, no, he got away first.
It can be said that the sharpness of that inquiry is considerably higher than it is.
"but... sorry to hear that"
Suddenly I turn my gaze to Ray, who grumbles, and what the bandits around me are saying.
I honestly didn't put that in my mouth because I'm being shown right in front of me how strong Ray is.
To think it was a dream, the strong smell of iron rust drifting around me or the corpse for three at the end of my gaze was too vivid.
"You'll see. More than that..."
As for Seto, if you go back and you'll find out everything, Ray throws the rope he took out of the mistering in front of the bandits.
"So tie your hands. One ties the other to the wind, and I tie the last bandit.... I'll tell you what, if you find yourself deliberately tied loose, you'll regret it. Like those three."
The bandits recall an earlier blow and tie their respective wrists rather than die here and now.
And I tied the bandits to a few pearls, and I decided that I wouldn't be able to escape with this, and Seto just shows up out of the bush.
The man in the couch hasn't lost his life even if he's unconscious, as Ray asked.
The griffons who showed up and the bandits who were stunned by their own leaders.
Ray doesn't give a glimpse of the bandits like that, he literally knocks up the bandit's leader, then ties him with a rope, collects the treasure that was stored here to mistering, and starts moving to rendezvous with the Frizione army as it were.
