When the Rays were going down the hidden aisle in the carriage, the ground was quite quiet, unlike a while ago.
The reason for that quiet will naturally be the Jayans falling in front of the building that leads to the underground facility.
Some are dead, some are simply passed out.
For once, some people are still alive, but for the most part they are injured of some kind and are not in a situation where they can move a lot.
The groaning that rises from the mouths of such people echoes slightly around them that are quiet.
"Grrrrrrrrrr"
Seto stood down on the ground sounding satisfied when he saw that no one was about to attack him anymore towards the underground facility.
But soon Seto's gaze will be directed a little further away.
There, the Jayan soldiers gathered by now are looking into Seto's gap to see if they can make their way into the underground facility.
The soldiers strongest than ourselves were overwhelmed by Seto, so we knew there was nothing we could do to break through.
"Gru?"
In the meantime, Fujito tilts his neck wonderfully.
Because I found someone from another force besides the Jayan soldiers who were watching me around.
Just because I'm acting differently as a group doesn't necessarily mean I'm a different force... but I still half-intuitively understood that from what I saw from Seto, I wasn't like the Jayans who had attacked here until a while ago.
Also, given the small number of people in motion are the three, it would be a little impossible to call them a group.
Still, for now, Seto was careful not to miss those three moves because he didn't know how to move.
"... hey, I got eyes on that griffon for a second. Is it your fault?
One of the threesomes seconded by the Resistance squeals like that in fear.
But it would still be nice to be able to say the words.
The other two, because the moment Seto and I met each other, our bodies were completely consolidated and we couldn't move.
If it was meant to be, there would never have been anything like that in my eyes with Seto.
But around Seto... No, seeing dozens of people fall around the building leading up to the underground facility made it easy to understand how powerful Seto was.
Above all, Seto's hair and wings are completely spotless.
That means he didn't get hurt in any way in the fight against the Jaya soldiers.
If you're a high-ranking monster named Griffon, I guess you can't help it that way.
Eventually, more than a dozen seconds later, those other than the only man with an open mouth will be able to talk somehow.
"What do we do? I know what's going on over here. Are we going back now?
"... right. I'm pretty sure we're short on manpower over there. If I'd known this was happening, I wouldn't have had to come with the three of us."
"That's the result. I didn't think Griffon would be overwhelmed so far. If we're going back, let's go back."
It was the guys talking about that, but in the meantime things move.
Jaya's soldiers, who had managed to see the gap to enter the underground facility, moved in unison.
I know those stronger than ourselves are losing to Seto and falling to the ground, but I still knew that if we didn't move here, we would undoubtedly be sanctioned by the organization.
If so, it was only natural to hang a glimmer of hope on an option that might be able to survive rather than a definite death.
In fact, there are quite a few who live among those defeated by Seth.
I mean, you decided that attacking Seto would have a better chance of survival, I guess.
Also, in the unlikely event of a successful entry into an underground facility, the rewards received from the organization would have been enormous.
"Whoa, whoa, whoa!
"I'll do it, I'll do it, I'll do it!
"Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa!
Jaya soldiers who, with such a voice, manage to enter the underground facility.
But naturally Seto can't just shut up and miss it.
... but it's already been quite some time since the Rays broke inside.
If so, it's already too late to go in now... yes Seto didn't think so either, but still I couldn't translate Jaya's soldiers into going through with it more than it was the job Ray asked me to do.
"Grrrrrrrrrrrr!"
At the same time as the roar is raised, fifteen arrows of wind are produced around Seto.
Ice arrows are also only made of ice, which was difficult to discern from the side being attacked, but wind arrows clearly outweigh ice arrows in the sense of appearance.
Only an arrow made of wind, if it is in a stopped situation, is still difficult to avoid if it is released.
There was no way we could have managed to do something with a few very, but not as elite, pairs of soldiers as we have gathered here now.
At least the salvation is that it was the wind arrow, not the ice arrow, that was released?
Ice arrows are easier to discern than wind arrows.
But in terms of mass, it's clearly above the arrows of the wind.
More than that, Ice Arrow outweighs Wind Arrow if you think in terms of damage when eating it.
Wind Arrows are never less aggressive in the sense that they kill and tear their opponents apart and inflict wounds.
Either Seto didn't use skills that would clearly be overkill against people, such as ice arrows and... not to mention power crashes and poison claws, because he had found that the soldiers attacking him were less powerful, or just whimsical?
Anyway, I guess such a choice of ceto was lucky for the guys.
As you wish, few injuries could have been fatal.
... Yes. It wasn't much.
Some of the soldiers have their necks severed by windarrows and fall to the ground as they raise a blood splash.
Using the kind of expensive potion would have helped such a person too...... unfortunately none of the soldiers here now have such potions.
If you were a higher power player in the organization, you would have talked differently.
All of a sudden, it was the resistance people who came to see what was happening here who were upset to see such a disturbance.
"Hey, hey! All of a sudden the fight started again!? What are you gonna do! If we stay like this, we're gonna get caught up in this, too!?
A clever imitation of one of the three screaming small, but the other two can't afford to compliment it either.
All we can do, however, is lurk our breath and watch the battle flow so that we don't miss what's happening right now.
"Shut up. Now anyway, we need to see what happens to this fight.... Averello, you need to report this. You don't have to bother to observe that battle here."
"That's... Shit, I get it. But you know it's dangerous to stay like this, right? Are you sure about this?
"I know it's dangerous. But that Griffon is Ray's squire, isn't it? Because maybe there's nothing you can do about it.... maybe."
I don't suppose the man is saying it with absolute certainty either.
That's why I use the word maybe repeatedly.
Realizing that, Averello ends up behind the scene without saying anything more.
Anyway, to let you know there's been another battle in front of the underground facility.
When I was working as a resistance, I couldn't come to a place like this in the first place… right next to an underground facility.
Just the information we've gained so far is very important to the Resistance.
... although it is unclear how much more valuable that information will be than the fact that the underground facility has been largely raided so far.
Still, that's what you think, that maybe it's information you can use for something.
After Aberello leaves, the other two see the battle they deserve to call ravages as they tell themselves to calm down.
Fortunately, many of the soldiers have not had to die, because it is not a fierce battle, as it was at the time of the first battle.
At least one or two of the bones are broken, so it's difficult to escape the scene on your own.
Also, even if we escape this scene in that state, we are undoubtedly sent back to the battlefield again.
Because we know that, the wounded Jayan soldiers don't do anything to go back to the detour either.
Even though some of them are not particularly injured, they make it look like they are injured and fall asleep on the spot.
"Grrrrrrrrrrrr!"
Neither does Seto want to kill them senselessly.
Regardless of who the first seemed to have attacked, the soldiers in front of them had some modesty because they knew that if they were slightly injured, they would lose their will as it were.
I used Wind Arrow, which would be one of them.
A blow to the forefoot was also a handful of blows for Seto.
"Damn, why are these monsters here! Hey, gather more soldiers! It's not a mutton fish, it's someone who can use it!
That's what the man in command shouts, but the man who hears the instructions throws up in his heart telling him not to push it.
(You don't know that a guy who stands on his arm, he's already largely paying for it? In the first place, the most skilled guys were guarding the underground facility, right? More than they broke through there, the guys there are intruders... I don't know if the Rays killed them or stunned them, but I'm pretty sure they were powerless)
No matter how many more inferior arms I brought, I didn't think I could manage to get Seto ahead of me.
We make it a top priority not to let the Jayans through the underground facility, so we won't be too far from the entrance we're guarding.
Otherwise, some carried out ranged attacks using bows... attacks such as ice, wind and water polo returned, and those using bows suffered serious injuries cutting off their arms.
As a result, there is currently nothing Jaya soldiers can do.
If this were a normal army, there would have been an option to withdraw adultly.
But unfortunately, Jaya is a dark organization... a gathering of criminals.
Beyond that, things like face and power struggle are extraordinarily stronger than the military. … Of course, there are those in the military who abandon their men and pawn them in order to be born.
Either way, it must have been unfortunate for anyone on this occasion - other than the Resistance and Seto - that the highest-ranking person currently had that type of personality.
What is even more unfortunate is the overlap, and the position of the man in command was gained by flattering his boss.
As it is, I will be crushed myself.
The man who so decides confirms that all those around him are concentrating their consciousness on Seto... as he is, slitting his boss's throat with a dagger removed from his nostrils.
It was not so sharp that there was no sound, but fortunately no one on this occasion saw himself or his boss, and no one noticed what was going on.
The man who hid his boss's body in the rubble nearby screams.
"Master Rajada died in the attack of Griffon! Therefore, I will take command of the future!
A soldier's gaze is directed at the words of the man who shouted so.
Naturally, it is inconceivable that a person named Rajada, who had issued a series of unscrupulous orders until earlier in Seto's attack, died.
But if you ask me what I can do to survive from here, naturally it would have been the unanimous opinion of everyone on this floor that this man should take command.
No one had anything to complain about.
Now if Rajada had any popularity, the soldiers would have behaved differently, but there can be no popularity because Rajada is hard on the top and a man of prestige downstairs.
"Everybody, retreat! Retreat! That Griffon is just protecting the underground facility! If we don't attack from this side, there's no problem!
To that word, everyone starts retreating just saying they've been waiting.
The two men in the resistance naturally watched how it went, but even those who had fallen to the ground until a few seconds earlier were flabbergasted to see them just get up and retreat.
"What is it? This is how I feel..."
"Come on. Whatever, Jaya's retreating, but what do we do? Retreat? Or do you want to see how things are going here a little bit more?
"Let's stay for once. There might still be something."
That's what I decided in the end.
