What Elaine and the others saw when they arrived in front of the house was the sight of many people falling to the ground.

Naturally, there are more people who are falling down than soldiers and knights who seem to be overwhelmingly human beings in the organization.

Soldiers and knights who train in combat seriously from time to time, and those who are not accustomed to rough things in the person of the back society or who train as they do every day.

If those two collided, it was only natural that this would be the result.

"Weird."

Look at the sight in front of you, and Elaine squeals small.

Those like Ray and Ara also notice what Elaine wants to say and nod back.

"Right. This is all a one-sided battle... for some reason, that house hasn't fallen yet"

Yes, Ray squeaks.

In fact, the word is never a mistake.

From the edge, there is no doubt that the forces of the Marquis Seysor are overwhelming.

In the first place, the Marquis Seysor only has a large force among the aristocracy, and many of the aristocratic nobles, even if their power does not extend to the Duke of Kelevel.

Coming to Anesis this time doesn't mean we're bringing all that fighting power.

But that's why many soldiers and knights who came with us as escorts should be called elites.

Not all soldiers are like that, though it would have been obvious if we had seen the soldiers who had left Elaine and the others behind earlier.

"Who!

You must have noticed the presence of those rays. A sharp voice sounds just like the soldiers earlier.

It was the knight who sounded like he was in his mid-thirties.

Thanks to the moonlight and the bonfire that is burning around us, we were able to confirm its face, even if it was not Ray or Elaine at night.

Perhaps among the forces of the Marquis Seysor family attacking this place, he is of considerable standing.

So, naturally, when you see prominent people like Elaine and Seto, you immediately understand who that is.... Ray must have figured it out because Seto was there.

"To Lady Elaine... the Deep Red Hall? Excuse me. But why are you in a place like this? Take a lot of people with you."

"My purpose, too, is the house."

That's what they say, the knight man pulls his face apart.

I was wondering if that might be the case.

Otherwise, famous people like Elaine and Ray are not the reason to be here like this.

No, it's not that it won't, but that's why it's still the most likely.

But as you can see, we've eliminated many of those already in this house.

"... for that matter, we don't seem to be able to attack the house?

"Gu."

Did they poke you where the pain was, the knight gets stuck in words.

In fact, Elaine's words are not wrong.

Those who were around to defend this house were in a situation that could be regarded as a near complete victory, although some sacrifice was made to the power of the Marquis Seysor family.

But... that's where the problem comes from.

I walked into the house... No, the moment I walked into the premises, all kinds of traps were activated.

Soldiers, knights, etc. are only for fighting from the front, and cannot be imitated like bandits to unstrap them.

No, if he was one who was an adventurer before he became a soldier or knight, some might have possessed such skills... hatred and no such person.

As a result, one trap after the other is caught without being able to untie it.

Also, even if it's a trap that got hooked once, that doesn't mean it's over.

I don't know what means you're using, but the trap you hooked up with once is coming back to life in the next moment.

Sometimes it's not the same trap, it's just another trap altogether, or it stays the same if you think about it.

As a result, many of the soldiers are wounded just trying to get inside the house.

The trouble is that the wound is not fatal, even if it is serious?

Though it is the dead who have not come out because of this, there will be a lot of manpower there due to things like transporting or treating seriously injured people backwards.

As a result, we were running out of power, and it was honest that we were attacking the house like this.

Some of them were lucky enough to get to the house, but the moment they opened the door and went inside, they were seriously injured by a trap, and they either died as they were, or they managed to get underneath their companions and treat their injuries.

As a result, the current situation is nothing more than an overwhelming struggle between the forces of the Marquis Seysor.

"If that's the case, I don't think it's okay for us to leave? In the first place, if it were us, we would be moving on instructions from Father… the Duke of Kelp. More than that, it wouldn't be good for the Marquis Seysol to imitate in this anesys that would hinder our actions."

To Elaine, I assure you, the knight man gets stuck in words.

Because Elaine's words weren't actually wrong.

If we force ourselves here...... that is what we try to do with force to stop Elaine from acting, that would undoubtedly be to the great detriment of the Marquis Seysor family.

I am entrusted with this occasion... it is not all entrusted to me either, it was more impossible to ask a knight man who is only one of the commanders to make a decision around it.

No, you may be able to do it if you try to force yourself to make a decision, but it is absolutely difficult to imitate that and be made to take responsibility for it later.

Keeping an unspeakable knight against Elaine, Elaine opens her mouth toward the power of the Duke of Kelevel family.

"From now on, me, Ray, and three of Arla are going into that house. Let the others keep the house under siege so that they don't let it escape when someone escapes from that house. And..."

Having said that, Elaine glances at a knight who can no longer say anything before continuing her words.

"And many are injured in the Marquis Seysor family. Give them as much help as they can."

"Are you sure?

To Elaine's words, Ara asks so briefly.

If you try Ara, this one case equals the runoff of the Marquis Seysor family.

Nonetheless, I was wondering if I could help this way. It was natural to think so.

But Elaine returns that there's nothing wrong with Ara's words like that.

"Regardless of one case this time, it is not a good idea that the Marquis Seysor family will be poorly fought. Better to treat than to be. … it's better to sell thanks."

If you say so, there's nothing like saying no to Ara either.

I will immediately give instructions on behalf of Elaine, one after the other.

(Heh)

Ray is just a little surprised to see how Ara is doing.

Ray knew that Ara was the one who liked Elaine and couldn't wait to do it.

But seeing as you're giving instructions one after the other now, you're just leading the Knights of Elaine's escort, right? I think so.

But Ray also needed to tell Seto that he wasn't just watching Ara like that again.

"Seto, if you too saw the ground from above and had someone to escape from this house, capture him.... Can you do that?

"Gru!"

I'll take care of it! And a throat ringing ceto.

Originally a night wise ceto, but now besides the moonlight, there is a bonfire on the ground set ablaze by the soldiers of the Marquis Seysor.

Seto had absolutely no intention of imitating it, even if someone tried to escape, because he could see the ground more firmly than usual than there was.

Thus, when Ray tells Seto and Arla finishes giving the soldiers instructions, Elaine, who was watching it, opens her mouth.

"Well, let's go."

The look on Elaine's face that tells her so is fiercely beautiful.

It was exactly the sight General Princess deserved under her alias.

The rays that follow are not as daunting as Elaine's, but the force that is unleashed overwhelms the others.

It was really an inferior Arla compared to those two, but that's a bad subject to compare.

The knights of the Marquis Seysor cannot stop the three of them from proceeding to the premises of the house.

In order to carry out my original duties, I really have to stop... but even if I tried to stop it, I didn't think I could stop it.

Also, if we try to stop it, we don't know what kind of action the soldiers of the Duke of Kelp family around us will do.

The knight couldn't move until Ray and the others ended up on the house property.

"Suddenly."

Ray, who was naturally in the lead, slashes down arrows that flew out of nowhere the moment he stepped on the ground, with a death size removed from the mysteries.

Note that Ray has taken the lead because Ray is a man...... but also because Ray, who is purely wearing a dragon robe, has a high defense.

Although it is also significant that you can use Death Size and Dusk Spears to defend the arrows that have flown in like now.

Most importantly, if the latter is the only one, I can do it for Elaine, who has a Mirage of Connecting Swords, but in Elaine's case, I need to give instructions to Ray and Arla when something happens.

In that sense, it was never in the wrong line that Elaine would end up in the middle, Ara for when something happened.

"Ray, I know you're okay, but be careful for once"

"I know. If this degree of arrow...... then!?

Arrows don't have a problem.

That's what I tried to say, Ray, but the moment I went one step further, like a trabasami, the ground moves out trying to pinch the ray.

No way, just a step from the arrow trap, it was Ray who suddenly didn't think there was such a trap... but by waving a death size, he cuts off the earth's travasami - which, at some point, even had a sharp blade on it -.

"... you surprised me"

That was from honest thoughts, even for Ray.

The trap now did not make Ray realize its existence until it was definitely activated.

Ray was also inferior to bandits, but still had some confidence in his eyes in discerning the presence or absence of traps.

But still, I couldn't notice the trap at all.

Most importantly, it would be obvious that this trap would not be a normal one, given that once activated it would soon be revived and imitated on top of it another… etc.

(Breaking through forcefully? No, that could lead to one trap after another. Then……)

With Death Size in his hand, Ray calls out to Elaine behind him.

"Elaine, there are too many traps and it's troublesome if you keep it up. How about magically burning all the earth... That way, I don't know what means they're using, but I think they can put it together and wipe out the trap to some extent."

"Hmm... but no harm done to the Marquis Seysor family?

"Adjust the area well"

To Ray's words, Elaine ponders a little… nodding back to Ray's words as she remembers her actions about the current series of traps.

"Then I want you to do so. However, as I have said, no harm will be done to the Marquis Seysor."

"Oh."

Nodding, Ray begins chanting spells as he magically turns to Death Size.

"O flame, thou art present only in the realm which I have designated, and not in any other realm. Feed my magic in the realm as a price for its short raw life, and elevate your life in an instant. '

As the chant of the spell progresses, a red line is drawn to connect the Rays to the house of purpose.

And the red line becomes a transparent dome...... how many, dozens and hundreds of fire elixirs appear in the shape of red lizards.

"Fire Elf Dance."

The spell is complete and the magic activates.

A lizard-shaped fire sperm explodes, and inspired by that explosion, other fire sperms explode as well… and a fire sperm explosion is chained inside the dome.

The transparent dome itself is not that big because it goes from where the Rays are to the house.

That is why the explosion of the fire sperm was a big one, but the explosion itself eventually ends quickly.

At the same time as we finish the explosion, the transparent dome disappears… and all that remains is the ground plowed by the explosion.

There, no trap could be found, and even if Ray tried poking the ground with a death-sized stone poke, there was no way that a new trap would be activated.

"... Well, for now, there are no more traps here. I'm in the house later...... what do we do? You want to burn the house down here?

"That would be nice, but I have a lot to look into, so stop that."

While Elaine said so, she went on the ground with Ray and Arla… Eventually, there was nothing in particular as it was, and she arrived in front of the house.
