"Hmm... I knew you didn't need a lookout when I tried this. See?"
"Gru?"
To Ray's words leaning against his own body, is Seto? and honking his throat.
Instant stars in the night sky, the moon pouring down brilliant lights, it and the burning fire in front of Ray.
That's all the lights that exist around us.
The meadows of the night, which go on everywhere, are so dark that it seems that it would even take your soul if you watched it still.
But Ray wouldn't be particularly anxious if he stayed with Seto among them.
... I guess it was because I understood that the darkness that was spreading in front of Ray was not particularly problematic for Ray, who originally had a good night's eye.
Ray shrugged in that because he was so sure that Seto's presence was working in this world as well.
Because this is a different world than Elgin's, maybe even with Seto's presence, he thought monsters and animals might attack him.
But neither did the Centaurs, who were watching in front of Ray, and since Ray was watching, anything would strike them at all.
If so, you can assume that the current situation is not the first to come close to a detour due to Seto's presence.
(Though, with Dragonias, I wouldn't be talking about it again)
For Dragonias, ruled by hunger, the existence of Seto only seems to be its own bait.
So, if Dragonias comes here, you can't expect him to stop his leg just because he feels Seto's presence.
On the contrary, they will ignore the winning or not, and will gladly strike at Seto.
... No, that's not all.
Hungry-dominated Dragonias was sure to be attacked by Centaur sleeping in a tent even if his opponent wasn't Ceto
(Yeah, considering the dragonias thing, I knew watching was mandatory)
In the end we come to such a conclusion.
"Nevertheless... I knew it was a different world than Elgin"
Neither does Ray know everything about the position of the stars as seen from Elgin.
Still, the star blinking in the sky looking up from this meadow doesn't seem like a star with the star you can see from Elgin, though very much.
"Grrrrrrrr?"
Did you feel something in Ray's words, Seto? Point your gaze at something like that.
In contrast to Seto, Ray stroked the body he was leaning against, saying it was nothing, and he spent a great deal of time taking turns with the next watch.
"Okay, so are we leaving well again today? I don't know, I made a lot of distance yesterday."
I guess the only thing that allowed me to keep running without anything like blunt legs, even though I said I left right after the martial arts club, is Centaur, who was called the grassland champion.
Sometimes the tent was able to use what we usually use, so no one left yesterday's fatigue behind.
There were people who were good at cooking, so the meals were as usual... No, Seto got his prey again this morning, so I could eat a somewhat more luxurious meal than when I was in the settlement using that rich ingredient.
Everyone is naturally eating not only the dishes of Centaur, but also the dishes in Ray's Mystering.
In that sense, it was a camp that was satisfactory to all.
A lot of Centaur shouts out loud and tempers Ray's words.
... Some of them looked like Dorat.
"All right, four days left.... No, I might be able to shorten it more at this rate, but just make sure you feel like whatever happens for once.... Seto"
"Grrrrrrrr!"
To Ray's words, Seto runs out with a chirp.
Next to such a ceto is a line of centaurs who know the home of Dragonias.
The other Centaurs run through the meadows with vigilance over what's going on around them.
Eat plenty and get some sleep.
The current line was a situation of plenty of energy.
"Grrrrrrrr!"
hours after leaving early in the morning...... shouldn't it be time for a lunch break? And Ray thinks, Ceto accidentally squeaks sharply.
What the hell happened?
I think so, Ray looking at Seto's watchers.
Then, quite far... that's where even Ray's eyesight would be the size of a bean grain, and I could see there was a battle going on.
In the meantime Seto keeps running towards you, and it's also clear that one of the opponents fighting is a dragonias with scales of various colors… the other is Centaur.
But the problem would be that the Centaur side is at a disadvantage.
If we fight normally, Centaur can't beat Dragonias.
You can't win, but if you look at it as an average, the Centaur side has faster legs than the Dragonias.
Beyond that, even if we could not win in battle, we could have escaped.
However, in the battle taking place at the end of Ray's gaze, the battle is waged without imitation to escape.
If you fight from the front, even though you understand on the Centaur side that you can't win first.
"Ray."
I guess I just live in the meadows and Zai has high eyesight again.
When you come next to Ray, that's what he calls you.
Just that one word, I know what Zai is asking for.
And the fact that Zai's expression has a bitter color.
If you try Zai, we're moving to attack Dragonias' home base.
I mean, it sounds silly to drain wasted combat power here.
That is not surprising, if damage is done to your people in this battle, that you will be underpowered when attacking the home of Dragonias.
It's not strange... Still, Zai couldn't imitate seeing his fellow Centaur being attacked and leaving him alone. Not to mention...
(Girls and children, and old men.... it's because of the slow speed)
With the approaching, we were able to observe in detail the Centaur side fighting Dragonias.
Regardless of the Centaurs who are desperate to fight Dragonias, a group of people walking away from those Centaurs is such a woman that they are not fit to fight. It was also a group of old people and children.
That's why the population is moving slowly.
"I'm gonna help you."
As a result, Ray's decision is to help.
Or maybe Ray ignored it as it was if the Centaur men were the only ones fighting with this and no women, children or old men.
But in a situation like this, I decided I should help.
"But..."
That's what Dorat tells Ray to say, as he disagrees with his words.
But when Ray turns his gaze on Drut, he stops saying anything about it.
I guess it's because I remembered what Ray said before he left.
... Still, he looked slightly dissatisfied.
If I tried to drat it, I definitely wanted to avoid imitating it like it would drain my power here.
We are only headed to the home of Dragonias to protect our settlements, not for the sake of the other settlers.
That was a cold decision, but it was also a statement in view of a reality that could not be helped.
Because some Centaurs actually agreed with Dorat.
In the first place, the neighborhood has been contacted to join their own settlement.
I'm proud of that, or I don't like to lose my vested interests by merging myself, or simply don't care about other settlements... there are people who haven't joined me for a variety of reasons.
It is very likely that the current battle with the Dragonias at the tip of their gaze is also one of the settlers who avoided joining themselves because of their selfish desires.
Normally, anyway, it would be natural for many people to think so to help such opponents in the present situation where they go to beat the home of Dragonias......
Still, in the end, if Ray says he'll help, we'll have to follow suit.
"You guys come after me and Seto. Most importantly, the number of dragonias is not that high. Did those settler warriors take them down, or did they hit the settlement less often originally, or did the Dragonias find that they were accidentally scouting where they were moving?"
There is no doubt that any of that could be possible.
Although it only has the worst consequences for the Centaurs who are being attacked.
"Whatever... if you don't get here soon, I'll take it all down. Seto!"
"Grrrrrrrrrr!"
To Ray's words Seto kicks the ground as he squeals.
What do you care? There's quite a distance to the place of battle, so that's probably why it's faster to fly and travel in the sky in some cases.
However, in order to attract the attention of the Dragonias who are attacking the enemies… Centaurs, it was still easier to find them running on the ground.
"Grrrrrrrrrrrrrr!"
Running, Seto highs, louds, and roars all around him to attract the attention of the Dragonias...... no, he roars.
The roar, even though it does not use the King's intimidating skills, informs those in the surrounding area of Seto's existence and at the same time of how much of it he is qualified to be.
... Ray and Seto were trying to turn Dragonias' attention to themselves with that ringing, but there was one unscheduled thing... but something that I could say was fatal.
That was when I heard Seto's roar and realized the difference in character in an instant and stopped the movement...... it would have been the Centaur women, children, old men and so on.
If Seto's roar is effective in discerning enemy allies, he can't possibly imitate it like that.
As a result, those who had to flee first stopped moving.
Fortunately during the misfortune, the Dragonias would have set their aim for Seto more than the Centaurs in front of them.
Did you recognize that when you did a dragonias dominated by hunger and Ceto had better meat than Centaur?
The four dragonias use the lower body with the lizard body to pack the distance from Seto at once.
... At that time, I passed right next to Centaur, a woman, a child or an old man, but there was no way to turn my consciousness to you.
(luck or bad...... well, dragonias is totally coming this way and you decide to be lucky)
Ray descends from Seto's back as Dragonias approaches, taking the Death Size and Dusk Spear out of Mystering as usual.
More than four enemies, we can still fight enough on Ceto, but it's because we decided we needed to defeat the Dragonias as quickly as possible, more than we could possibly protect anybody nearby.
... Nevertheless, the person Dragonias showed an appetite for is only Ceto and not Ray.
Therefore, naturally, where Ray was gone from the top of Seto's back, there was no indication of interest in it, and the four Dragonias attacked Seto.
Yeah, turn your back on Ray, yeah.
"Though as expected, don't be shy!
With that word, Ray waves the death size and pokes it with a spear of dusk.
That's it, one of the dragonias gets his neck amputated, blows his head off and collapses to the ground.
Because Dragonias is dominated by hunger, pain is also very dull.
But no matter how dull the pain is, it doesn't make sense if you get your neck amputated or your head blown up.
Dragonias, the two remaining, are both broken neck bones by Seto's waving forelegs, extinguishing the flames of life.
seconds...... no, in an instant the four dragonias were defeated.
……
It is silence that spreads around.
The Centaurs, who managed to shelter the fleeing women, children and the elderly, especially against the four dragonias, did not expect these dragonias, who managed to survive, to be defeated lightly either.
I can only be blunt.
That's the same for the women, children and old men who were running away, and who they desperately ran away from didn't even expect to be defeated this easily.
"Ray... tell me about us..."
Such silence was broken by the massive amount of words that finally caught up with Zai's shuddering.
Tell them to come, but if they did, all the dragonias would have been defeated before they arrived, so that would be natural.
"... Zai, huh?
One of the Centaurs, who had fought Dragonias until earlier, spoke to Zai.
