Legend

"Uh... I knew this would happen. No, I wasn't expecting you to deal with Vihella, not me."

A few Centaurs and Vihera are at the end of Ray's gaze who shrugged so much.

What the Rays are currently in is a settlement ruled by a chief named Advagas.

I had somehow anticipated it in my attitude when I spoke to Asdena, but this settlement was more troublesome than Ray had initially expected.

Firstly, there is a very strong sense of discrimination against two-legged Ray and Vihella.

That was clearly an affront to Ray and Vihella when they decided that they were more overwhelmingly great on their four-legged selves.

... Now, it was not known whether the strength difference between Ray and Vihela was too great, or whether those in this settlement were purely too low in skill, but they could not feel any difference in strength... The result is what is currently happening at the end of Ray's gaze.

If you try to centaur this settlement, you're deciding that Vihera is an easy opponent to defeat.

Centaur, who is confronted with Vihera, is alarmed enough to see.

(How could you have ever maintained this settlement with only such a strong man? Wouldn't it be strange if Dragonias raided us and that would destroy us all immediately?

With that doubt, Ray asks Zai not directly, but gently to smell it.

but it was Asdena's words, not Zai's, that came back to Ray's words like that.

"The settlements of Advagas have no great strength, as you can see, in the sense of a warrior"

"I guess. Zai's settlements are clearly inferior in strength compared to the warriors of Asdena's settlements"

I had some thoughts about the way Ray put it, Asdena, but in fact it's clear that in my settlement and Zai's, I'm losing in the sense of warrior quality.

I can't say anything more about dissatisfaction than that.

... Originally, Zai's settlement was undoubtedly the largest around here, in the whole meadow.

Naturally there are many powerful people there, and on top of that many are gathered by this disturbance of Dragonias.

The majority of those who came together were women, children and old men who had fled the settlement, but some of them mixed with warriors to escort those who had fled.

Beyond being entrusted with such escorts, its centaurs do not have to be the strongest of the settlements… many are at the top of the list.

Such people will naturally also work as warriors after coming to the settlement of Zai… As a result, the power of the settlement of Zai was increasing.

Most of all, as almost devastated as it was towards reconnaissance, there is not a one-sided increase in fighting power, but also depletion.

"Whatever makes up for the strength of such warriors is the usable magic of Advagas and its clans"

"... but that's unusual. From what I know, I don't think there was that much of a guy in Centaur who could use magic."

"I won't deny that. Actually, you're not in my settlement. But... there are exceptions to everything."

Asdena turns her gaze to the settlement of Advagas with a complex expression.

Those who can use magic in Centaur are very rare, but it's not like they're still there.

In fact, even in Zai's settlement, long drums and wives can use magic.

But...... it's only a surprise to Ray that Advagas and his clan can use magic in all of this settlement, which is clearly smaller than Zai's.

"Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa!

Such a scream echoes around while Ray admires the settlement of Advagas.

It's obvious who made that scream without having to think about it.

What Ray saw, pointing his gaze towards those who spoke, was the figure of Centaur falling into the ground.

Those who made noise and stood around until earlier are hardened because they saw a sight too unexpected.

I guess we never thought our people would lose to two-legged Vihela.

If you try it on Ray...... and if you try it on someone who knows what Vihera is capable of, this would have been the natural result though.

In the first place, as Asdena said earlier, the strength of the warriors in this settlement is never high.

Assuming to work with a wizard, starting with Advagas the head, so in a situation where there is no magic, we cannot demonstrate our main command.

... Then Ray wonders why he would challenge Vihera in such a situation, but if you tried it on these settlers, you wouldn't have thought you'd lose to someone like that at all, more than they have two legs.

This was the result of thinking that the number of legs was lower than their own.

"What's going on? With only this degree of strength, have you been selling fights? You can still enjoy Dragonias."

The word was enough to sell fights to the Centaurs in the settlement of Advagas.

They were so blatantly insulted by the person they saw as a bastard.

Each holds his own weapon and points that cut at Vihella.

"Oh, I just told you the truth. Does being so angry actually mean that you've admitted that in yourself? In the first place, do you think you can do something about Dragonias?

"You!

One of the Centaurs storms Vihella with a spear in his hand.

A moment late, the others storm towards Vihera.

But Vihera avoided such an attack as she moved to dance.

... that's not all.

Softly touch a part of your body when you're not like the Centaurs.

That's an act to show that you could have attacked it even in the present situation if you were serious.

Even if the arms aren't that far away, the Centaurs and the others will know what such Vihella's actions mean.

Understand that we are not dealing with each other... eventually breaking through the waves of Centaur as Vihela slips through it, making us unable to move.

If Vihera is serious, it will definitely be because she understands that she was heavily damaged by her current actions… in some cases she was dead.

"Can you understand that?... At least if you're as strong as Zai, it's a little more interesting."

The Centaurs are struck by the words.

Zai is famous for his arms among the settlements that exist around this area.

But as far as I'm listening to you right now, if you don't have teeth on Vihella even if you're such a zai, isn't that the same thing you're saying?

... In fact, it's not like the Centaurs are wrong.

"Can you make it that far? Even these people need to protect this settlement, if they break my heart, this one's in trouble."

And, accidentally, such a voice sounds and several centaurs show up.

They all had canes, and I could clearly understand that they were wizards just by looking at them.

One of those wizard men leads the other Centaur wizards one step forward.

"Are you Advagas?

"No, unfortunately not. I'm Dolphina. Father... he's the son of Advagas."

"Oh, yeah. Does coming out in this situation now mean it's you who's coming out for reconnaissance?

"Oh, me and my people here are coming with me. I won't let you down."

"... you're very confident."

"For once, to me... no, because we have a proven track record. I think you can say this much."

Dolphina doesn't look like she's strong or trying to force herself to look big.

Because I'm really confident, it seemed to Vihera like I was saying that.

"Heh.... Advagas didn't seem to bother me, but Dolphina looks fine with her personality though?

"Right. We met before, but Dolphina is a rare and friendly being."

Ray relieves himself of how smug and squeaky Asdena looks.

If Asdena says so, she's probably the one with no problems.

Seeing you talking to Vihera, Dolphina would have no problem, it would seem so.

"Anyway, if there's no problem over there, there's nothing to complain about as far as I'm concerned. You'd better pack your bags."

"Right. If you stay in this settlement, it could be a hassle.... Zai, can you ask me to say hello to Advagas?

In Asdena's words, Zai gives a subtly unpleasant look.

But it was only natural to say hello to Advagas in this case, beyond what I represent in this scout team.

"Okay, I'm coming.... Never come Ray"

"No, I'm not going to go to such a troublesome place without being told, but is he that bad of a guy?

"Ray would not be so strange to kill Advagas as to be an unpleasant opponent"

With that word, Ray decides to stop following Zai.

I guess you don't have to worry about that because Zai said he wouldn't take you from the beginning.

"Ray, it looks like this is our luggage."

"Hmm? Yeah, okay, I'll be right there"

Vihera, who was talking to Dolphina, calls, and Ray heads over there.

In doing so, as a matter of course, the surrounding… especially the Centaurs, who were carelessly embellished by Vihera, turn their hostile gaze towards Ray.

As a matter of course, I can't judge the difference in strength with Ray any more than I can judge the difference in strength with Vihela.

(You're an idiot)

The only thing in Vihera that was watching like that was such a shuddering word.

In fact, there's something wrong with the Centaurs who can't beat themselves, who think they can beat Ray.

Ray is stronger than he is.

That was a solid fact in Vihera.

Of course, just because Ray is stronger than himself doesn't mean he'll never win.

In fact, I've won a few mock fights, and even if I fight for real, if I use an immersion clap, I have a winning chance.

... Most importantly, if Ray really meant it, it would be imitating fire whirlwinds from a distance or releasing innumerable arrows of flames.

In the case of Vihela, that preference would also be relevant, but it is specific to melee attacks.

Like Ray's magic, no means of ranged attack exists.

I could imitate things like throwing stones falling around it, but I didn't think Ray would work with such an attack on my opponent.

I know what would happen if I sold a fight to Ray with that strength.

I know, but Vihera wasn't willing to stop it.

Some thought you wouldn't know if you didn't get hurt once, and it's not funny that the man you love is being insulted more than that.

And as expected, some centaurs advance their hooves trying to tangle with Ray...

"It'll help. Because you're here, we can go find the home of Dragonias. Still, you're Ray. You can count on your strength to crush Dragonias' stronghold by yourself."

While pretending to speak to Ray, the explanatory words are directed at the Centaurs around them… and at the Centaurs, other than those brought here by Dolphina.

The intention would be obvious.

You can never win if you imitate something that would entangle Ray in this situation.

To make you think so, I deliberately explained it.

In the first place, the warriors of this settlement, with the support of the wizard, will serve for the first time.

Not exactly a wizard supports a warrior, but a warrior supports a wizard.

Beyond that, there's no way we can do something about our opponents that would crush Dragonias' stronghold alone.

That's how I understood and once again understood what Ray's strength was.

"That's companionship."

Naturally, Ray also knew that the surrounding Centaur was about to tangle against him again.

He protected his people by explaining the situation to his surroundings, pretending that Dolphina would talk to him about it.

From Ray's point of view, you must have really thought about your people and acted like you did now.

"Even if they say so. They're important fighters, too."

How many people are there?

That's what I wanted to say, Ray, but if I put that in my mouth, I decided it would be a hassle, and I wouldn't say anything.

In fact, as for myself fighting Dragonias, from what I've seen fighting Vihella, I don't think I can win, though very much.

Most of all, it may be possible in the sense of its follow-up, beyond the fact that it is the wizard who defeats the enemy.

At the same time, he acted to store supplies first.
