Legend

When Ray and Seto, who took the bandits, joined the Frizione army, they stopped and rested once on the spot.

It's because it's so troublesome to get information from the bandits and keep moving.

And it's been about an hour...

"In the end, the reason for the status quo remains unknown,"

Unexpectedly sigh at information from Widare.

The bandit's head said he was told this story by his ancient familiarity that the streets are now thin due to civil unrest.

The ancient bandit has also led his own men to this street.

However, its ancient familiarity is also a story I heard from someone I know, and it is unclear where the information came from.

The reason for the attack on the Frizione army is that we were contacted a few days before its ancient familiarity, and if we give a little bit to the army, which will soon pass through the streets, we will receive a massive reward from the Sakanoya.

I didn't mean to believe that story if it were meant to be, but I'm not telling you to take down the army, I was talking about just giving it a little bit, and I gave it a little bit because it really came at the right time.

The result is the current situation, and I wouldn't have done such a stupid imitation if I knew I was going to get caught.

When I heard those stories, Ray felt a strong sense of weakness.

In fact, if you imitate a little against the military, it's usually the death penalty, no matter what you think.

Still, I got my hands on this imitation because it was only a little... because I was taking the method of attacking with a bow from afar and fleeing immediately.

Instead of fighting directly, they attack with bows from afar and immediately escape into the woods.

They won't come after us first, more than they are marching armies, and if they did, they didn't think they'd catch up in the woods.

The fact is, the Frizione army never stopped marching, and getting rid of the bandits they attacked didn't go after them all the way into the woods, so I guess I'm not mistaken.

"Regardless of what those guys were thinking, I guess if we could get used to catching him with the old familiarity we brought this story with us, we'd get some clarity..."

"When the ancient familiarity doesn't know where the story came from, expectations are weak."

"I guess."

The same figure passes in the back of Ray's brain and in the back of Widare's brain that returns that word.

I won't put it into words.

However, it was generally predictable that it was definitely the person's fault.

(There's a possibility of a second prince, like Schuls... but one way or the other, even the samurai talk, and I don't think it fits in a bit with this one. Simply because I overestimate Kabazid...... I hope so)

Thinking that everything was happening on the other person's palm was not funny to Ray either.

"Anyway, I'm pretty sure the intentions over there are at our feet. His Highness Frizione is also going to join His Highness Merclio as soon as possible. That's why I'm going to ask Lord Ray to work again."

"I guess."

Like this one, there can be ample potential for bandits to attack the forest… or even without the forest, using some terrain.

If you are done attacking with bows and arrows from afar and running away as it is, you will really slow down the march.

Even if they're hardly harmed, that doesn't mean they can attack as much as they want.

If the Frizione army is only to be unilaterally attacked, that's not necessarily why the bandits aren't coming in for a more demanding attack on condition.

"Besides, it's not just bandits."

"His Royal Highness Frizione, Captain Angela and the Marquis of Lognos are also worried about that. There's no way this is going to end more than doing what you've done so far and stopping us."

"What troops do you think are coming out? Normally, you pick the elite from the crusader side to form a small group of troops... or something?

"I'm sure there is, but more vigilant people like adventurers and mercenaries will have to be."

"Mercenaries... you've seen a little bit of it in the war, and you've never actually gotten into that much detail"

Adventurers and mercenaries. Those two are similar, but you can say that mercenaries are more battle-specific beings.

Of course, adventurers can also take part in monsters, bandit crusades, and wars if requested, but in addition, they make various requests such as collections and deliveries.

In comparison, mercenaries basically participate in it towards a place of battle.

From the battle between nations, disputes between lords. Even to the battle between cities and cities.

Civil unrest, especially as is currently taking place in the Bestian Empire, would be the seed of rice no more if we tried it as a mercenary regiment.

"There are also mercenaries in the army led by His Highness Frizione?

"By joining us, you mean you're probably out of a mercenary regiment? Well, I understand we're moving anyway. Then can I go as soon as I can?

"Gru?"

Can I go? and to the throat-beating ceto, Widere nods back small.

"Please. Honestly, I can only shame myself for my incompetence to rely on Lord Ray... but now, anyway, I have to merge His Highness Frizione with His Highness Merclio"

"Don't worry about it. I know I've said this several times before, but I was sent to escort this army. Seto, please."

"Grrrrrrrr!"

To Ray's voice, Seto flies into the sky with a few steps of help.

The only way I could widere behind Seto and Ray, who gets smaller while I look at them, was to keep my head down small.

"Flying slaughter!

The flying slaughter unleashed with the word strikes those who were hiding in the shadow of the rock near the street, inflicting a rather deep wound, not even a fatal wound on one of them.

"Become, what!?

"Up there!

"Whoa!"

Those who turned upwards gaze at the presence there.

With a big sickle, someone on a griffon.

That's because I knew who it was right away.

However... most of those who were on the spot were burned to death by the arrows of the flames that had fallen before the voice of surrender was raised, and even the survivors could not move.

"Like these guys, I guess it's fine in the form of annihilation as soon as you find someone like you who's obviously trying to attack you... but someone like you who's resting, it's gonna be hard to judge"

Around those who are burned to death are the remains of bows and arrows charcoaled or burned and rolled everywhere.

"It's an outfit that's going to take a complete blow off. At the very least, a spear or something would have benefited me somewhat. Can we just get the horse?"

I whine as I look at the horse connected a little further away.

Attack the Frizione army from afar and flee.

It's easy to put it in words, but it's hard to get away from the elite Frizione army.

Except if it's also a forest like the first bandit Ray knocked down, this is a plain.

Blue grass may have grown in the summer, but now its grass is dead in the fall as well.

Then you would need to lose a little weight to escape the cavalry, and for that reason you would not have the kind of weapon you need, but would have thought to raid it entirely with a bow alone.

"If they get close, they do it unilaterally... no, they don't"

Near the burnt corpse, he notices a burnt dagger rolling around and realizes that the minimum weapon was available.

"I don't know how it burns anymore."

"Gru."

Exactly, looking at the nodding ceto, Ray writes down that he would have defeated the bandits who would have attacked the Frizione army on the paper he had removed from the mistering, or that he would leave the treatment with regard to the horse to be left on the spot, weighing the stones that were nearby.

Maybe someone else will pass by before the Frizione army arrives, look at the writing down and take the horse, but it was good for Ray either way.

Because if the Frizione army could have made it any easier, it would have been a degree of thought.

Had anyone from the Frizione army come with Ray, he might have left the horse to be processed, but Ray himself has no intention of taking the horse to the Frizione army location.

In the first place, the horse is still frightened of Seto, so if he were to take the horse, he would act differently from Seto.

"... yeah? Nothing. Is that okay?

With Seto's smartness, it's not that hard to find and pre-empt an opponent trying to strike against the Frizione army at his own discretion.

Then shouldn't you deliver the horse yourself? I also thought, given that the horse can get Ray on his back with the smell of Seto stained, I can only dismiss him from previous experience.

"When you do, do you pull the reins and walk them away?... you're wasting too much time."

"Gru!"

Aren't you going to be feathers acting differently from Ray again as he is!? and anxious Ceto, asserting himself.

"Right, I don't want to act separately from Seto either... I knew I could just write it down"

"Grrrrrrrrrr!"

Seto throats delightfully and rubs his face straight to Ray.

In the end, I leave a note exactly as the word goes, and I ride the ceto and leave.

Seeking the next prey…

"Hmm, what do you think that one should do? Sure, you wouldn't have to have a horse to get away from there."

"Grrrrrrrrrr"

Not so hard to call it a cliff under the eyes of Seto, who rattles his throat as he agrees, and Ray on its back, but there were nevertheless bandits and thinkers with bows about three meters high.

If it did have that much height, it would be able to attack unilaterally with a bow.... at least in the beginning.

If the Frizione army brings out their bows and magic, they'll be within range from beyond, but I guess they're going to get away with it by then.

"Still, I think you should have a horse if you want to run away."

It was a neck tilting ray, but eventually I decide I can't help but get lost like this.

No horses, no weapons, only bows.

We decide that we need to surrender and get information, or we can't get the treasure we're accumulating, beyond the fact that we don't even seem to have anything particularly important, and we use magic from above to burn everyone down at once.

He repeated several unilateral ambushes from the sky that way, each time ending many bandit-like opponents.

"That's more than I thought. I think it's going to take a lot of work over there, considering it's completely stuck here."

"Gru!"

Seto, who was listening to Ray whine, sounds as he looks at the ground.

When Ray, hearing the voice, turned his gaze under his eyes, there were about twenty people in the woods there.

Even Ray was easily found because, unlike previous ambush units, he was not dressed to blend into the surrounding trees, mostly equipped with metal armor, and the sun's rays reflected glaringly.

"You're not a bandit... are you?

Basically, bandits wear leather armor for ease of movement.

Some of them seem to be made of thick clothes, and many value lightness anyway.

But many of those lurking in the woods today wear metal armor.

The discomfort could have been described as decisive.

"As I talked to Widare, is it a crusader side unit... or a mercenary or an adventurer? My prediction is mercenary."

"Grrrrrrrr?"

What are you gonna do? and throats and asks Ray Seto.

All the battles so far have been fought unilaterally because we thought they were against the Bandits.

If the other person is otherwise, it may not be as unilateral as it has been before.

It was Seto's questioning with that meaning in mind, but Ray just opens his mouth if he doesn't mind.

"Sure, it may not be the Bandits or anything, but as far as this is concerned, it doesn't change my alarm. I don't see how you're alert to surprise raids from above.... Well, it's almost impossible to be attacked from above, so maybe you can't."

Like the Dragon Knight, there are few who make the sky their main battlefield.

So, even for a mercenary regiment, it was visible to Ray's eyes as if he had not thought of any attack from above.

Especially if you try to make it a mercenary regiment that you think will attack from afar and leave at once, you can't help but think that this is a situation that you can absolutely feel safe in.

It would have been different if Ray had known the information that he was going around defeating those who were ambushing him, but basically Ray has not imitated making use of the person he raided to capture them, and has unilaterally taken everyone's life in an ambush.

There are no escaped opponents, and naturally ambushing troops are far from each other in the sense of ambushing... I never thought that ambushing troops who thought they would be the ones to hunt unilaterally were the ones to be hunted.

"If you're a mercenary, you know better than a bandit. Yes... No, it's not much different. All right, Seto. Let's go!"

"Grrrrrrrr!"

Thus, not only the bandits, but even the mercenaries, will be wiped out by the surprise raids of Ray and Seto.
