Legend

Soldiers show up before Lutus and the escorts with the long sword in their hands.

Most of all, even when it comes to soldiers, the gear is different from one another, and it doesn't mean uniform gear.

Still, if you look at those with weapons in their hands, you'll have nothing but to call them soldiers.

(If you're an adventurer, you might have made a deal.)

Essentially, adventurers are being asked for money.

Not to mention that the adventurers of this Labourina country are by no means superior to the adventurers of the Kingdom of Mireana.

That's why, with a few exceptions, he should have responded to the deal if he could have made money with ease.

But now the soldier is in front of Lutus.

(aristocratic private soldiers...... no, you're not. The fact that there are only so many people, maybe the National Army. Though each piece of equipment is different for it. then you mean you've been seconded on an irregular assignment)

At the very least, the salvation was that the soldiers of the country of Labourina were weaker than those of the surrounding countries.

Most importantly, because the soldiers are weak... and because of the small country, they can't even match the numbers in the Kingdom of Mireana, they must have jumped at the means of a giant.

Nor is Lutus as powerful as he can manage it, even if the soldiers of the Labourina Nation are weak.

All Lutus could do right now was buy some time anyway.

Praying that the escort who went inside the cave could rendezvous with the Rays as soon as possible.

"Oh, gentlemen. What's wrong with a place like this?

Wearing a mask, as usual, Lutus speaks to the soldiers who showed up.

"Soldier, what's going on in a place like this?

Yes, it was a lutus who spoke out in affection, but the soldiers do not imitate it so easily to lift their guard than they have a long sword in their hands.

"What about you?

"I..."

It was a lutus who tried to utter the pseudonym he always used for soldiers' words, but that can be stopped along the way.

Because he put up a spear that another soldier next to the soldier Lutus was talking to.

"Soldier, why the hell would you... oh, because I have a weapon. Don't worry...... it's weird too, but I figured bandits or something showed up and this is how I armed myself. As a merchant, we need to be vigilant."

There is basically no appearance of that breathless bandit in the vicinity of Mejougo, ruled by Jaya.... I guess there are some exceptions like when Lutus used to do it.

The soldiers who are naturally in front of Lutus, beyond the fact that Jaya's presence is a half-public secret, will also know that.

But if the soldiers think of Lutus as just a merchant, maybe they don't know what's going on around there and can buy some time.

Of course words alone cannot avoid the battle, as Lutus also knows, so the purpose was only to buy time.

Fortunately, the first man Lutus talked to seemed to get me on that plot... but the soldier next door never seemed to be deluded by hatred and such.

"You forgot? All those in this forest are ordered to kill. Even if it's not Jaya's hand."

"No, but... look, these guys. He says he's a merchant?

"You know, even a merchant is only what the man says. In the first place, if you're a merchant, where's the merchandise? He's a merchant with no merchandise. Where are you?

As the saying goes, there is no luggage of any kind around the lutus.

Not very much, but it would be hard to see it and call Lutus a merchant.

However, there were several objections to it.

For example, the luggage is hidden inside the cave.... it would not be impossible to delude it more than the soldier in front of him does not know that there are Jayan humans and giants in the cave.

For example, a bandit - in this case a Jayan soldier - chased me and threw my stuff out with my buddies and managed to escape.

For example, I went into this forest to find a new product.

For example, I was in front of this cave as a rendezvous to make an important deal.

Such, for various reasons.

But while Lutus wonders what to say, several soldiers show up from the surrounding woods.

I'm guessing you're in this cave. It's more than the purpose of killing the Jayans, so you can't run around the woods before the soldiers come for this cave, naturally.

(Then I guess those underground aisles connected to Mejougo are also held down)

What are the soldiers doing joining us here while Lutus thinks that way? Point your gaze at soldiers who were talking to Lutus, like that.

The task the soldiers were given is that whoever is in this forest, even a child or an old man, should stop the roots of everyone's breath.

I wonder why you're talking so long.

"Hey."

One of the newly-arrived soldiers speaks to his companion in a grumpy manner as to whether the grievance has come to his mouth.

The number of soldiers already on this scene is close to twenty.

With all those soldiers in front, Lutus is trying to buy some time...

"Young man, I can't do this any more. Except for the soldier the young man spoke to, we all doubt this one."

One of the escorts barely moves his mouth and then warns him in a special way that only Lutus can hear him.

If Ray sees the current escort...... and if the escort has a doll or something in his hand, he says, 'Ventriloquist!?' I would have raised my voice of surprise.

Either way, Lutus thinks for a moment about how he still manages to buy time for his escort's advice, but even with such imitations in the present situation, he gives up that in the end the number of soldiers just increases.

We decided that the number of enemies should be as small as possible, rather than having enough power to deal with a large number of enemies...

Nod small at the words of the escort and leave one step forward.

"No, no, don't be so vigilant....... hmm? Oh, isn't that Mr. Larcano? Is Mr. Larcano at work, too?

And, Lutus speaks to no one.

Naturally, Lutus doesn't know if there's a person named Larcano among the soldiers.

But... if we could talk like that all of a sudden, it would have been natural for the soldiers to turn their gaze to those who thought they were voiced as well.

Who? You? No, you're not. Then you...

In that way, a large number of people turn their gaze to those who are near them, such as to whom the words of Lutus were directed.

If there had been a knight here who had become accustomed in action and someone such as a more superior soldier, he would have pronounced himself angry at the soldiers who had strayed from his sight from the lutus.

Not necessarily enemies... but I wonder what it is to look away in front of a suspicious opponent.

But there was nowhere among the soldiers gathered here today to lead a small number, but to be accustomed in action.

In the first place, it is very rare for soldiers from small countries like the Labourina country to go through a real battle.

More than connected to Jaya, if the bandits come out, Jaya will end up invading their territory, and if they are attacked by neighboring countries, that's what we need to do if we speak to our own patriarchal kingdom, the Kingdom of Mireana.

Soldiers will be on their way out if they are also in the rebellion category, but nothing like that has happened lately.

As a result, the presence of these soldiers, who are only large in number but almost none in the sense of experience in action, was born.

The soldiers all turn their gazes to those who are watching Lutus… At the next moment, Lutus sticks out a long sword that was pointing down the cutting edge of the blade at once.

For the soldiers, a completely unintended blow.

The blow was the first soldier to talk to Lutus.

It wasn't even friendly with Lutus... but it was a blow because he was a soldier who was still trying to talk solid, but thought that if we thought we were betrayed because we were such soldiers, we would fight back hard.

The feeling of piercing the flesh is transmitted to the hand holding the pattern of the long sword.

Lutus frowned slightly at the feeling, but it was for a moment.

Immediately move on to the next action.

Naturally. Now the other guy's on guard, it's the biggest opportunity.

That is why a slight reduction in the number of enemies on this occasion is now a top priority.

Lutus wasn't the only one who thought so, so were the Lutus' escorts.

The moment the soldiers hook up to Lutus' words and get out of sight, they attack at once.

Long swords, daggers, spears.

They used such weapons and attacked the soldiers at once.

In just a few seconds, the lives of several soldiers are taken.

The screams of his companions, the blood hanging on his face, and the sound of him falling into the ground.

It was easy to imagine that the soldiers had been deceived.

"What the fuck!

The first thing I shouted at was a soldier who put up a spear when Lutus was talking to the first soldier he killed.

Regardless of who I am being attacked, I guess it was totally unexpected that that soldier... would be attacked by a soldier who was about to have a conversation with Lutus.

"You know what!

He jumps backwards as he waves his long sword at the man who shouted.

You can't injure a soldier's body because it was a blow to the back, not the front.

The tip of the long sword barely scratches the surface of the leather armor, but that's scratchy enough.

I can't do anything like break a bone with a shock, let alone blow the body of a soldier.

However... the soldier firmly understood that the tip of the long sword had cut off the surface of his leather armor.

That's why there's blood on my head...

"I'll kill you!

Shouting with an angry and murderous look, he leaves his long sword behind... following Lutus as he descends towards the cave.

Perhaps because the other soldiers clearly recognized that it was their enemies in front of them.

Follow the weapon into your hand as you descend towards the cave, Lutus.

"Young man, come here quickly!

One of the escorts screams sharply as he throws a stone that was falling nearby.

I'd like to throw a dagger if I were to, but given the number of soldiers, the daggers for throwing are overwhelmingly short.

Above and beyond that, the best thing was to use a cave, which was a lot of stone around.

... most of all, stone-throwing is primitive, but it has the power to never fool around.

Some of the soldiers are now falling to the ground with blood from their heads.

Still, there are more new soldiers arriving here than falling soldiers, so it's like water on a burning stone.

But there was a respite until Lutus and the others caved in.

If that's how you get inside the cave, you don't have to deal with a ton of enemies at once for now.

All you have to do is deal with the soldiers coming in the cave.

The soldier with the bow was able to confirm it, but this cave was made naturally and remains intact.

It is in the center that the giants are able to walk with some hands in order to move, but there are usually rocks near the walls.

That's the rock big enough to hide itself.

If you hide there, you don't have to be afraid of the bows.

However, if it comes to being able to pack a distance for the soldiers while they're hiding there, I'm sure they'll struggle.

(That's why we need to make them struggle to some extent. You don't have to use a bow to defeat us, to make us think so.... It's more than likely that even fighting normally seems that way)

While dodging the spear of a soldier who was injured by a long sword blow he released while retreating earlier, Lutus frowned small that he was in trouble.

Most importantly, I decided to stay here and wait until the Rays arrived.

When that happens, it would never be a mistake to say that the situation now deserves it in a way.

Stuffing an intermission while dodging the spear's tip, a thrust to be unleashed.

If you ask me which is better for a spear or a long sword to poke at, I will answer spear if it is the majority of the people.

And in fact, that wouldn't be wrong.

But...... that's only if it has the same level of strength or if the difference is only somewhat.

Lutus can't imitate things like destroying a single army individually, like Ray, but still, he wasn't a knight or anything in the Labourina Nation, he wasn't just as weak as beating a single soldier.

The cutting tip of the long sword released pierces the soldier's throat at the next moment, cutting his neck with that momentum.

The soldier's body falls to the ground as he bleeds out of his severed neck as if it were a fountain.

By defeating the soldier in this way, we could also expect the secondary effect of taking away the scaffolding of the target...

(It's not like I'm going to keep it forever. Come on, bring Ray in quick)

With that in mind, Lutus was slain his companion to poke at the gap of an angry soldier and unleash the poke again.
