The raid, which would have been carried out if it had been the case, was aimed at stopping the Frizione army.
Unilaterally attacked with a bow from a distance, fleeing the scene before the opponent was able to adjust his posture, the Frizione army used potions and healing magic to increase the number of injured people, lowering morale by causing the dead to deplete supplies of what they would not let out and intercept each time they were attacked......
Yes, an operation that would probably have succeeded had it not been for Ray and Seto, who could have moved the sky within the Frizione army.
But because Ray and Seto were there, the calculation went wild.
Most of them are bandits and some mercenaries.
Even the mercenary regiment was dominated by all sorts of people with bad behavior, and Ray's ambush did not spare them at all.
Ning Ro, I may even have said a word of gratitude for disposing of the existence in advance, which would cause unwanted disturbances.
Either way, while defeating the opponent who comes ambushing us like that, the Frizione army takes the streets to rendezvous with the rebels led by Merclio.
"Today...... I can't, but will we be there about after noon tomorrow?
"Probably. If Ray hadn't knocked down his opponent who would have ambushed him in advance, it would have taken him a few more days if he had done badly.... even though it's supposed to be about two days away"
Ha, and Angela sighs as she rides on her horse next to Ray.
In fact, it is true that we are half a day behind our original schedule...... or a little longer, and that was what caused Angela to sigh.
Still, we have some room for supplies, so there is no shortage of supplies.
Besides, it's a popular Frizione for the people. It's not hard to replenish supplies in places like villages and cities on the way if you have to.
Fortunately, it's already autumn now. The harvest of crops is already in a paragraph, and there is some leeway even for villages.
Of course, when it comes to replenishing, you don't collect it. Pay the price and buy it out.
Only Frizione, a popular thought, had any compromise on the area.
... Most of all, these Frizione armies are favored against Frizione.
Naturally, I understand Frizione's personality, and there's no reason I can't afford it, so I'll be able to talk about it without any problems at all.
"If you have to, I can give it to you."
Once inside Ray's mysteries are tons of dishes, ingredients, and monster corpses.
With this army, you can handle a meal or so.
"I'm jealous the item box won't rot if you keep it inside."
"Well, honestly, it's very helpful to be able to preserve food so that it can be eaten at any time. I can buy soup and stewed dishes from every pot in the city and keep them there."
"Grrrrrrrr!"
Seto, who was listening to Ray, was right about only being involved in food! and assert themselves.
Since I started acting with Ray, Seto also got to taste many dishes and know how delicious they are.
Besides the dishes that Seto eats in his village and city, he doesn't hate eating his defeated prey as it is.
"Phew, is Seto hungry?
"I don't think that's why, but Seto would be happy to eat if he could. Neither do I."
The Frizione army takes the streets in a soothing conversation like this, still thanks to Ray's earlier defeat of such people as bandits and mercenaries who were preparing to raid in advance the day before.
As it turned out, Ray's actions were of great benefit to the Frizione army.
Of course, you didn't have to worry about an ambush, but you got quite a few other horses.
Leaving a note on the horse that had been set up to escape after the attack against the Frizione army, Ray attacked the next ambush unit.
As a result, although some horses were taken away by someone else, most of them are successfully recovered by the Frizione army.
Naturally, it can't be a horse for all the infantry, but it's true that the march speed has nevertheless increased somewhat.
It was the Frizione army that was going peacefully that way... but the White Rose Knights, escorting Frizione's carriage, moving at its head, find themselves accidentally coming towards us.
It's also a state of one being chased and one being chased.
That battle is taking place while running along the street, and those who are traveling on foot off the street just don't want to get caught up in it, take a distance.
The group that approached me while fighting in that way could only be described as unusual.
"Dear Frizione, what will you do?
"Right, I'm sorry, but will you go and put the fight away for a minute? But even I've been seeing blood here lately, so I wouldn't want to see blood now if I could. However, this safety is our top priority."
Following that word, the female knights of the White Rose Knights pop up.
"I'm coming! Shameless battle in the name of the first unit!
The voice of the Troop Leader sounds, and the momentum of the female knights of the First Troop increases as they respond to it.
You must have noticed the group coming towards you. Several of those being attacked would soon have realized that they were female knights wearing white armor, even as they attracted their faces to the White Rose Knights coming towards them without slowing them down at all. Exhale in relief.
The Knights, made up of only visible women, wearing white armor, exist only in the White Rose Knights in the Bestian Empire.
In other words, it was also a testament to the fact that the men being pursued had nothing against the White Rose Knights.
(Except, naturally, for the chaser)
The first part captain whines inside and firmly grips the Rapier pattern in his hand.
As a weapon used by cavalry, it is not normal to say Rapier.
But for this troop leader, Rapier was so accustomed to use it, a weapon that was powerful enough even in battle as a cavalry.
"We'll take care of this place, you guys go ahead!
"Sorry, that helps!
Those who exchanged words in a different moment and were pursued as they were go to the head of the Frizione army, while the first unit of the White Rose Knights goes to the Pursuit Squad.
The Pursuit Squad seemed unsure what to do for a moment, but they would have decided that if they left like this, they would be unilaterally pursued. By order of the captain and the thinker, he rushes into the first unit.
Take a blow and leave where you frightened him with it.
I guess that thought was in my head, but the thought is immediately smeared with amazement.
A female knight with a rapier moves her hand quickly as she approaches the cavalry of the Pursuit Squad.
My hand moved. That was understandable because it was seen from a remote place, and those who saw it up close rolled their eyes and necks from the gap of their helmet, through the gap of their joints, through their hands and feet, to the ground without knowing what had happened.
I fell off a horse that came running at full speed, so I couldn't possibly just do it.
The impact of falling to the ground breaks the bones of his hands and feet, and he is trampled and crushed by a manipulative horse of his companion who has run from the rear.
I guess it was lucky for the man that his head was crushed in the first blow and he never felt pain for a long time.
At least, men crushed by horses who fell to the ground out of balance because they stepped on men, or who rode without having to fall, were far better off than those who were crushed by horses behind their backs all over their bodies.
That's how the disfigured opponent is attacked by the White Rose Knights' First Squad.
I guess you decided you didn't have a winning shot at that point. The person who was leading the pursuit unit announced their retreat, and those who survived flee the scene with these bodies.
"Captain, what's the pursuit?
"No, let's not. I don't even think there's a trap, but there's no way you're wasting your power in our current situation. Anyone else hurt?
"No. It was almost an instant of battle, and the captain cut ahead."
"Yes. Shall we return to His Highness Frizione?"
The captain of the first unit points Chirali's gaze to the ground.
There had already fallen the dead, the dying who would soon die.
"You will need to dispose of these people so that they are not harmed properly."
"Then I ask Lord Ray to do me a favor..."
"Wait, I will!
"Hey, cheat! I knew it was me here."
At the time I said I was headed under the ray, the tension until earlier spreads all at once.
Most importantly, the captain of the first unit shook his head sideways, wondering if it was impossible given Seto's adorability.
"Sure, using Lord Ray's magic will end the mourning of the dead soon... but in the first place, Lord Ray is not part of us, he is in the position of guarding this army. If you think we're even relying too much now, we should do something about this place.... Ask Captain Angela what to do with this body. I'll be right back."
You can't rely too much on Ray. While I understood that word, it was also true that as a Frizione army, I still had to rely on the power of Ray.
Because it is, we should do what we can ourselves.
With that in mind, the captain of the first unit heads under Angela.
Regrettably, I have an idea that if I had more power, I wouldn't think I would have the strength to defeat the earlier Pursuit Squad by myself.
"Ha, ha, ha.... Yay, that helped. Thank you."
"Ho, I seriously thought I couldn't do it anymore"
"Absolutely, everything is like us. Oh and stubborn..."
The men who fled to the Frizione army express their constant thanks, also breathing, biting the fact that they were helped.
Some of them were so tired that they couldn't even speak, they were showing how much danger they survived.
Bring me some water.
As per Angela's orders, a soldier who was nearby immediately brings water.
"Drink."
I guess I was too thirsty. To Angela's words, a line drinks the water in a cup prepared to devour.
And I had a few glasses of water, and I guess I finally settled down. One of the men bows his head deeply.
"Thank you"
"No, that's okay. More than that, can I ask you why you were being chased?
"Yeah. But before you do, you're definitely Captain Angela of the White Rose Knights, aren't you?
"Yeah. Definitely."
The man who confirmed that Angela nodded, then turned his gaze towards the carriage a little further away.
"When that happens, His Highness Frizione is in the carriage over there"
Angela grows more alert as she nods at the man in front of her.
If we are to cause harm to His Highness Frizione, we need to make such an imitation.
But the man just exhales relief and opens his mouth.
"Good, looks like we managed to get there."
"Reach?
"Yeah. My name is Dornos, and I work for Viscount Vish, who serves His Highness Merclio. As a matter of fact, we are currently blockaded in the hands of the Crusaders around the area where we hold our positions. His Royal Highness Merclio sent us to inform His Royal Highness Frizione of this information in order to destroy each of the crusaders that are blocking the streets in order to do something about it..."
On the way we're talking, Chirali and Dornos look off.
It was Ray who was ahead of that gaze.
Ray, who was talking to Angela before this commotion, also existed on this occasion.
"Lord Ray seems to be safe."
"There have been a few small problems here too... I see, have you come to stop replenishing? I'm sure that choice is more natural than losing with pure force"
Nodding to convince Ray.
A few people, starting with Dornos in front of them, are certainly faces Ray has seen several times in rebel positions as well.
At the beginning of Ray's rendezvous, there was also a mix of faces that he had trained.
Only that kind of person exhales relief that as soon as he finds out what Ray looks like, he's okay now.
Because I know how powerful Ray is.
Feeling that gaze, Ray, who frowned for only a moment, opens his mouth towards Angela.
"Apparently, the harassing attacks that have been taking place so persistently put this matter over here...... no, wait. If we're going to stop supplying supplies in the first place, which means we're going to be attacking soldiers, there's no point in slowing down the march of this Frizione army somewhat, is there?
"Right. It's true that we're late to arrive over there, but still we're not going to spend months or years traveling about a few days a way... then the aim isn't to attack the soldiers?
Angela's questionable voice echoed around her.
