The first one to go into Dragonias was probably the strongest Centaur on the scout team, Zai.

Swing the spear and attack to tow toward Dragonias.

As followed by such Zai, the other Centaurs also carry out attacks.

Of course, we don't just attack.

From behind, some use their bows to restrain the Dragonias.

The arrows fired are mostly played by the scales of Dragonias, but they are not harmless to Dragonias nonetheless.

Arrows are fired to control the vanguard where the attack was attempted, thereby delaying the timing of the attack, resulting in Dragonias' fangs and nails being dodged before reaching Centaur's body.

It also happens, really occasionally, but through eyeballs like the arrows aren't covered in scales.

No matter how much hunger-dominated dragonias are, pain is not paralyzed, but what hurts usually hurts.

Only Dragonias like that, if they pierce their eyeballs, they can confuse themselves and even attack their companions around them.

Exactly if the same dragonias go through with each other as well, some dragonias were taking no small damage from their fellow attackers.

(Eating my own eyeballs pierced by arrows was a trinity or something... but if you're a dragonias dominated by hunger, I think you could imitate the same thing)

The Centaurs behind it… Ray thinks so while protecting those who fled the dragonias that Zays are currently fighting.

Behind such a ray, the protected Centaurs watched the battle with a surprising gaze.

Multiple Centaurs are fighting Dragonias is a familiar sight.

But what should be said, whether it was a familiar sight or its sense of stability, was overwhelmingly higher than those who were fighting in their own settlements.

"What the hell..."

One of the Centaurs whines, but no one can answer that.

Because the Centaurs who are in the scout squad are fighting Dragonias, and Ray and Vihera are watching the Centaurs fight like that.

And... the Centaurs, who are actually fighting Dragonias, can only be flattered by how they are.

It is not only possible to avoid attacks like the ones we have managed to avoid in the past at our leisure… it is also possible to even fight back as a counter.

Also, while most of the attacks unleashed are played by scales unchanged, the weight of the blow still being dealt to the opponent from above the scales was clearly up. And most importantly...

"Weak, weak, weak compared to Vihera!

One of the Centaurs shouts that as he battles Dragonias.

In fact, for the Centaurs, who were repeating a mock battle with Vihera, Dragonias' attack was slow, simple and easy to read.

Some of the Centaurs who were on reconnaissance in the camp could barely make a mock battle with Vihela, and such people struggled with Dragonias as before.

But objectively, there was also a difference in numbers, and there was no doubt that the Centaur side prevailed.

"Awesome... so much mutual with Dragonias..."

Looking back at that voice I heard from behind, it was a Centaur woman in her mid-twenties or so who uttered that voice.

As deserving of the word "flash," he watched the battle taking place at the end of his gaze.

No, that's not the only woman watching the fight that way.

The other Centaurs are also looking at the sight of Centaurs, their own kind, overwhelming Dragonias.

"So unexpected?

It was Vihera who spoke that way to the woman who was speaking out of surprise.

I guess I was glad to see the sights of those who trained themselves in combat fighting and that was complimented.

It was a great deal to call them disciples, but they were still mock fighters many times.

The woman who spoke out was surprised, trying to say something to that word of Vihera.

... Vihera's outfit wore thin clothes that the other side could see through, like dancers and whores always wear, so it would be natural to be surprised.

And even more so if even the same woman becomes the beauty beauty bearer.

Still, I guess I didn't get the feeling of jealousy because it was still a two-legged race, not a centaur.

"Yeah, yeah. I know exactly how strong Dragonias is. The men in my settlement were devoured and killed.... I can't believe you're so strong if you think about it..."

Not very, but incredible.

To the woman who tells her so, Vihera opens her mouth with a proud grin.

"The Centaurs fighting over there, I worked out. I couldn't train them all because of time."

"... you?

If I tried being a woman, I didn't think Vihera was that strong.

Alternatively, if a woman had been trained as a warrior, she might have been able to know the strength of Vihera.

But happy or unhappy, the woman was an ordinary woman without such training.

Because of this, I can't honestly nod when people tell me that Vihera trained those Centaurs.

"Yeah.... Surprise? But around there, when the fight's over, you can ask and you'll be clear, right?

Vihella's words are an unmistakable fact.

Even if you lie here, it will be light later.

I don't think I would imitate that, because what the woman in front of me said is true? and question.

The battle continues even while the woman is bewildered. The number of dragonias is already nearly half.

Originally, if the number of Dragonias reaches half, you can defeat your enemies and help those who are free.

But now it's only a battle in the sense of confirming our strength.

Beyond that, we watched how it went without doing anything to help our people because we defeated the enemies we were fighting.

Of course, I didn't mean to hesitate to get my hands on my people if they were about to be killed by Dragonias, but no one is in crisis by Dragonias, even if they have the trouble to defeat them so far.

"Everybody work together and fight! If you're about to hit a buddy, cover for it!

Zai's screams echo all around him.

... By the way, Zai was fighting Dragonias on his own, but is the first to defeat him and provide support for his people.

Originally, Zai had enough strength to fight Dragonias alone, but still needed some time to defeat him.

But such Zai used to play the most mock battles with Vihera, or he's gaining strength dramatically.

Fighting the dragonias of silver scales won't win you, but if you're thorough with your defense, you can buy some time.

"Yeah, I guess the original talent has something to do with it."

"That's natural. I'm not saying the difference in talent is absolute, but talent does exist."

Even though I said there was a difference in talent, I probably had a slightly sad look because I understood that there was a huge difference between talent for me and talent for others.

Most of all, there are faces like Ray, Elaine, and Marina who have just the strength to fight each other with such Vihera, so now Vihera has nowhere else to think about her talents.

"You're done."

I didn't mean to change the mood of Vihera...... but still, Ray tells me the fight is over.

Dragonias, who survived to the end, finally sank to the ground.

There was already no light in its eyes, and it was certain that it was dead.

"Really... don't let one die, dragonias..."

A woman who was behind Ray leaks such a grunt with her stunned voice.

No one is dead, even those who have been injured.

In a women's settlement, it is very rare that no one dies to defeat Dragonias.

That's how one or two dead people get out if they're not so lucky.

... If you say that warriors are less skilled, that's it.

"Well."

Biri, and.

The woman who sees Ray turn around whining, nervous.

And now I realize that the two weapons that were in Ray's hand - the Great Sickle and the Spear - had disappeared at some point.

Nevertheless, I consider it pointless to ask such a thing in the present circumstances, and open my fearful mouth.

From previous exchanges, I thought that the person at the end of my gaze was the head of a group that beat Dragonias against them.

... In fact, the head of this scout team is Zai, and Ray is in a helpful position.

Either way, I half-intuitively understood that Ray was someone I couldn't do anything about for a woman because of her overwhelming presence when she was wrong earlier and the words Ray shouted at Zays.

Ray opens his mouth, even as he is subtly shocked that he was suddenly scared.

"The dragonias you were after, they cleaned up. So, what I'm asking you is, were you running away from here, that your settlement is around here?

"... Yes"

For a moment, she was the woman I thought I'd delude, but if I lied to Ray before, it would be unsavory if it was found out later.

Think so, nod honestly.

"Okay. Then it's just fine. We're here to crush Dragonias' home base, any leads?

The woman gets a totally poignant look at her when she didn't think she'd be asked that.

Normally, he fought a formidable enemy named Dragonias.

More than that, it's not strange to demand some kind of reward.

... Most of all, as you can see Zai and the others have prevailed, dragonias for the Rays are... Ordinary dragonias that are not less dragonias of silver scales or dragonias of gold scales are no longer that powerful an enemy.

(Next time we need to be able to beat Dragonias by ourselves, not by a large number)

That's what Vihera thought after watching the battle… The Centaurs, after the battle, suddenly felt something cold on their backs for some reason.

"So? Do you know the home base?

Ray overlays and asks the woman who for some reason shuts up.

The woman thought a little and shook her head to the side.

"The settlement had made hiding a top priority so the Dragonias wouldn't find it..."

I'm sorry to hear that, Ray.

If it was a priority to hide, I guess I wouldn't even have sent out a scout team to get information.

If we are going to hide in earnest, we need to get some information on Dragonias and use it to hide from one settlement to another.

But from what I've seen about the woman, it doesn't look like she's going to hide that far.

It's just like being afraid of dragonias in the dark clouds and hiding... I feel that way.

(Maybe I'm just not being informed because I'm a woman)

I think so, but nothing. Centaur is not highly sexist.

There are many female centaurs among the warriors, and there are men entrusted with chores.

But... that's only what Ray's been stopping by in the settlement of Centaur.

Other settlements... Especially when we get to this area, it's not surprising that there are possibly extremist sexist settlements beyond being settlements that have never had any contact at all in the Zays' settlements.

But it doesn't make sense to hear it here.

"Right. Then why were you running away?

"The settlement was found by Dragonias... and those who could fight fought in madness to death, but still..."

That's what I said, a woman shaking her neck to the side.

Ray doesn't have to tell me what happened next, so I don't do anything more like asking about the end of the settlement.

What I asked instead was something else.

"So, where's your settlement?

There is not necessarily a base or home of Dragonias and others near that settlement.

But we can't deny the possibility that Dragonias is nearby any more than he was attacked.

That's why Ray thought, if you ask where the women's settlement is and look for it near it, maybe... really maybe, but that's what Ray thought there might be a Dragonias home there.

In fact, it was only a degree of recognition that I wish there were.

"Our settlement..."

To Ray's words, the Centaur woman honestly taught us where our settlement was.
