"All right, when the other scouts get back, I'm leaving as soon as I can, so just stay with me."

Zai's voice echoes inside the camp.

Centaur, who brought information that Dolphina and the first silver scale dragonias were moving in a group, spoke, and it was generally possible to predict from which direction that silver scale dragonias came.

It's only a general direction, and I didn't determine the exact location… Still, compared to previous situations where I have no idea in which direction the enemy's home base is located, I can tell you that the investigation just went a long way, even in the general position.

As for Zai, I would have liked to leave for you right now if I could, but now it's already afternoon...... that's close to evening too.

Leaving the camp under the present circumstances was definitely going to be a night without earning much distance... and most importantly, some troops have yet to come back out for reconnaissance.

If we leave the camp immediately here now, when those people return, no one will be there.

There's no way he's leaving his people behind who came to scout with him, so Zai couldn't leave for the enemy's stronghold until that scout unit came back.

... Or if this is the kind of person who thinks only of his or her handles, some people will do things like leave the scouts even if they haven't all come back yet.

But there is no way that Zai of companionship can imitate that.

That is the beauty of Zai, but at the same time it was a drawback that made him unable to move.

In fact, many in the camp are dissatisfied with Zai's ideas, and that's not until now… but can we leave tomorrow for those who already have Dragonias' home base? Not many people think that.

But I guess Zai is unhappy denying it, naturally.

Many of those who think so have suffered tremendous damage to their settlements by Dragonias.

I suppose that's what they thought they might know about Ray's strength and figure it out if Ray was there.

In fact, that decision is not so wrong.

However, if such imitations are made, Zai will be completely discredited from the others… especially the Centaurs who have been left here.

(Because I guess Zai's judgment isn't wrong after all.... I also thought it would be difficult for me and Seto to go home alone...)

Specifically, in a stray sense.

Or, without any particular kind of landmark in this meadow, it seemed to Ray that it was only suicidal to go on the extension line of where he encountered the dragonias of silver scales with Ray and Seto alone.

In this meadow, landmarks are not very common.

But I was born and raised here - a little far away - and if I try the Centaurs, a little difference that looks the same to the Rays can be used as a landmark enough.

It would be nearly impossible for Ray and Seto to go alone than they could.

... Also, if you try to go with Ray and Seto alone, you can certainly say that Vihera will go with you again, naturally.

Ray also knows that he was dissatisfied, especially in the battle against the silver scaly dragonias he was nesting, which was sometimes considerably weaker than he had hoped.

"So that means we're staying here like this today, right?

When one of the Centaurs asks Zai that way, Zai nods at the words.

"That's right. In this case, prudence will also be necessary. Besides, we have Ray and the rest of us, so there's nothing wrong with delaying encounters with our enemies."

Zai's words were almost identical when he said he would rely on the Rays, but even as a Ray, that's not particularly problematic.

It was originally intended to destroy the home of Dragonias.

... Ning Lo, it would be more helpful if the Centaurs came forward not to put it into words but poorly and not to interfere in the battle between Ray, Vihera and Seto.

Or like crushing dragonias that were accidentally out of range of effects when you used magic.

(The training of Vihera has improved my strength considerably. I have a lot of skilled people, starting with Zai, and if I deal with normal dragonias, I feel like it doesn't matter)

It's not that he's strong enough to be caught off guard against Dragonias, but if he still fought a large number of Dragonias, it wasn't surprising that he was almost intact and could win it all.

"Then it's time for everyone to get back to the work they need to do. Especially on the lookout, ask for more than just not knowing when the guys headed back for reconnaissance."

Follow Zai's words and everyone goes back to their work.

Those who were dissatisfied with Zai also decided now that they would see what was going on without raising their dissatisfaction for the time being, and obey their instructions with great perseverance.

"Ray!"

In the meantime, the first thing approaching Ray... naturally, was Dolphina.

While I was gone, I guess I'd already heard about Ray crushing one Dragonias stronghold.

He wanted to ask Ray about magic, and he knew as soon as he saw his face without putting it to words.

Ray wasn't sure how to handle such a dolphina, but if you think about it, unlike the other Centaurs, he currently has very little to do.

If so, is it enough to store in the mistering the kind of food I left behind without knowing when to come back to find the nesting dragonias?

But you don't have to rush that either.

(Do you want to deal with them a little?... you have knowledge that I don't even know about)

Just as Ray had no idea about magic for Dolphina, so did Dolphina, who knew nothing about it for Ray, and that knowledge was sure to benefit Ray as well

... When it came to magic theory, it structured magic with sensation, though it wasn't much of a help to Ray, who was activating it.

"Bad, Vihera, Seto. I'm gonna go talk to Dolphina for a second."

"Right? Then I... right. I thought it was training."

"On time."

Vihera's training decides that sometimes the dragonias of silver scales with nesting were unexpected, or halfway through that depression, Ray tells her so.

I guess I felt something in Ray's words like that.

Some of the Centaurs who were starting to prepare for it, with what Vihella said about training, pull their cheeks.

Still, the option of not doing training doesn't exist, I guess, because Centaur still honors strength.

Vihera's training is rigorous, but she keeps doing so because she has a real sense that she's getting stronger.

If only I didn't train, the other Centaurs would train in the meantime to be stronger than I am.

As a centaur, that's all I ever wanted to avoid.

... Still, there still seemed to be a lot of things in Ray's current words.

"Yeah, I'll take care of it around here. You don't have to worry about it."

Ray didn't know how far I could go to believe the words of Vihera that I would tell him so.

But still, if Vihera says so, she decides she'll be fine for now, and heads to the one waiting for Dolphina.

... Some Centaur looked at himself like he wanted something, but decided not to worry about it for now.

Because if you care here, that's what makes the story longer and they can take up time there.

"So, what do you want to hear?

"It depends on the magic we used to fight the silver scale dragonias, right?

Dolphina responds instantly to Ray's question, like she was waiting.

Try Dolphina, if there is a commander like Dragonias the Silver Scale... if there is any magic that can defeat a kind of superior species opponent, I would definitely like to know.

It was such a Dolphina hope, but it would be betrayed lightly at the next moment.

"Unfortunately, it was both Vihella who defeated the dragonias of silver scales. I... no, all Seto and I did was annihilate the other dragonias that were with the silver scaly dragonias. It didn't work on the red scale dragonias either."

As a feeling Ray tried to fight, I felt like I couldn't kill a dragonias with red scales no matter how powerful it was with the attribute of flames.

It's just the feeling of Ray, maybe not actually.

"... I see. So what kind of magic did you kill the other Dragonias?

The silver scaly dragonias were a dolphina with a slightly unfortunate look on Ray's words that he didn't magically kill, but still moves on to the next story right away.

If you try dolphinas, that's probably more of an interest than the silver scaly dragonias that don't come out of the stronghold, and defeating the ordinary dragonias that actually strike you.

"That's simple as an effect. Shooting an arrow made of flames is just magic."

Dolphina looks like she's been poked in the face of Ray's explanation.

The magic of releasing flaming arrows is not so rare if you can use magic.

I was never good at flaming magic, but it's magic that can be used even in such a dolphina.

Nevertheless, Dolphina immediately questions.

The settlement of Dolphina has also, naturally, been attacked by Dragonias several times.

At that time, as a matter of course, many of those who went out to intercept could use magic, while others used the magic of the arrows of fire.

That's why I don't think I can exterminate Dragonias with the magic of a flaming arrow.

I mean, I guess Ray has some means of unleashing more flaming arrows than he knows.

And in fact, such a Dolphina prediction was never wrong.

"The effect as magic is simple, but you can increase the power by increasing the amount of magic you consume"

"That's... but honestly, you can't afford magic, can you? I've been thinking, is Ray that magical? Hate and I don't have the ability to detect magic."

"You might be lucky. If you have the ability to sense magic and feel my magic, you may not be able to stand."

This is an experience for Ray.

He wears a crescent moon ring, so now it's time for Ray's immense magic to be unrecognizable to others.

But before obtaining the Crescent Moon Ring, many of those who sensed Ray's magic lost their hips, frightened, panicked, and even some of them leaked.

Of course, there are never many who can sense magic by any means.

No, Ning Ro, you can say it's rare.

It was also natural for Ray to be cautious, as he had brought so many of its rare beings to such attention.

At least not much, Ray isn't going to do things like take off his crescent ring in the detour.

"... that Ray's magic is so much?

"It will."

Smile and say so confidently.

"Ray's magic is the same with the Heavenly Wheel, but there's a lot of magic based on the premise that the magic drains heavily."

"In my case, you're making magic out of your senses. You can't help but feel like that.... If I didn't have a lot of magic, I have no idea what the hell was going on."

The Red Armor of the Flaming Emperor, also to be described as Ray's wife's hand, also needs a lot of magic... which is so much less than any such magic as cutting lives if you are a normal wizard.

Other recent exercises, such as the flying magic 'Heavenly Wheel' or the purifying magic 'Condolence Flame', would be like that.

If Ray didn't have a lot of magic...... only as many wizards around him, that style of combat would probably have been different now.

"I see.... it just hurts that there is no effective magic against Dragonias"

"It's the color of the scale that's troublesome. One must have a strong resistance to magic."

To Ray's opinion, Dolphina nods in a way she agrees from the bottom of her mind.

I guess Dragonias was a pain in the ass that just the magical Dolphina still has strong resistance to each attribute due to the color of the scales, just like Ray.

Ray and Dolphina discussed magic for a while.
