Legend

"I see it."

Proceed in the woods for about an hour.

Eventually, a Centaur woman screams when she finds the settlement where she lived.

Many turn their gaze first to the voice.

It was obvious from the looks of it what the settlement was currently like.

In the woods...... that was also a settlement that was fencing to keep Dragonias from coming, but most of that fence has also been destroyed.

In the camp, when Ray built trenches with terrain manipulation, he discussed with Zai to create trenches so that he could enter and leave the camp freely.

But the settlements that were in the woods needed to hide from Dragonias whenever possible... and if they were found, fences were built so firmly that they could carry defensive warfare in their favor.

It's also a solid defensive fence, not just a fence that keeps livestock from escaping.

But...... that fence, too, is now much of it destroyed, exposing itself to no remnants.

It would be obvious without having to think about what reason this happened.

(That said, it meant he lived hidden in the woods, but what happened to the cattle?

Secondly, Ray questions that.

Centaur makes it a business to nomadically raise livestock.

But I wouldn't say it's impossible to grow livestock in these woods... but it's obvious that it's still quite difficult.

If so, how the hell were we getting the food for our own lives?

One thing you can think of right away is hunting.

In the woods alone, it is not surprising that animals and birds are quite abundant.

Or nuts.

But either of them would be subtle if they were told that they could adequately fill the bellies of the number of people to be called settlements.

Either way, now I actually needed to go to the settlement before I could do anything about that question.

Or maybe, just in case there's a Centaur hiding in the settlement.

Considering that, first of all, it was first to head directly to the settlement before questioning about the fence or settlement...... but Ray opens his mouth before that.

"Stop."

That's never loud.

But still, all the Centaurs had the power to stop their feet.

"What's going on?

"... I hear things coming from inside the settlement"

Ray's five senses are sharper than normal humans.

Its sharpness is also higher than that of Centaur, who has a sharp sense of vision, hearing and smell, even if it is the influence of living in the meadows.

Hearing, among the five senses of such a ray, heard the noise heard from the settlement that existed at the end of his gaze.

What the hell that means is obvious without thinking.

It is easy to imagine that it is not the sound of Centaur surviving and cleaning up the settlement…

The women who have fled this settlement will understand that, too.

Seriously...... and with a sad look on his face, he looks at the settlement.

"You guys stay here. First we head to the settlement."

Zai's suggestion was an act that would be taking place in the settlement… probably because he didn't want to show the sight of Dragonias eating and fishing for Centaur's body.

But... the Centaur woman shakes her neck beside Zai's words like that.

"No, we're going, too. Currently in the settlement… is one of us. I can't imitate abandoning my people more than that."

You're already dead, so there's nothing to abandon?

Some Centaur thought so, but still didn't actually put it in his mouth, probably because he understood what he thought and mouthed things like now.

Even if my buddy's body is eaten by Dragonias... still, when I see it firmly with my own eyes, that's what I'm saying.

"Okay. But it doesn't taste good for everyone to come. Some of them are not combat personnel. That's why I want half of them here."

Tell him so, and Zai quickly divides it between those who remain here and those who head to the settlement.

Some of them said they wanted to go to the settlement or stay here without going to the settlement, but Zai silently kills the opinion.

Not if you're listening to everyone now.

Anyway, acting quickly was first.

... It should be noted that Ray and Vihera are naturally on the side of heading to the settlement.

It must have been foolish and decided to turn Ray and Vihella's power into an escort who didn't even know if the enemy was coming.

Rather than that, he said we should head to a settlement where the enemy is certain.

Ray and Vihera also have no disagreement with that opinion, and nod honestly.

In fact, if the mighty dragonias... that's what the silver scaly dragonias came for, we can't deal with it with the power that's left here.

However, Ray expects that the silver scaled dragonias will be moving out of base about the time of the nest split, so there's no need to worry about that area in particular.

"All right, then let's go"

To the words of Zai, those who go to the settlement walk out.

And... as I approach the settlement, I hear the sound of Ray being heard.

It was the sound of chewing, or of chewing up something hard - perhaps bone - all sorts of sounds.

It wouldn't be hard to imagine what that means if you were someone who knows the hunger of Dragonias.

Ri.

The sound of Asdena advancing next to Ray chewing her back teeth echoes around her.

No, Asdena isn't the only one doing that.

Many Centaurs understand what is currently being done in the settlement, with frustration, remorse, and a variety of other emotions.

No one says they know Centaur in this settlement.

But still, it's not funny that it was eaten to death than it was Centaur who was in the settlement.

"Ready? The first priority should be the extermination of Dragonias, but maybe... maybe really, but there is also a surviving Centaur in the settlement. If you find someone like that, you have to help them first."

That's what Zai tells everyone, but it was actually like he was telling himself.

Ray knew that, too, but he doesn't imitate Zai's feelings any more than he can somehow understand, making tea.

And… eventually the line comes to the immediate side of the destination settlement.

Make sure you still hide in the safe fence and gently peek inside the settlement, Zai.

... When you get so close, you can easily smell the smell of blood rather than noise.

Whose blood it is, it is obvious without thinking.

"The one who's alive... is not here. The number of dragonias...... as far as I can tell from here is nearly twenty. If it's an entire settlement, it could be in hundreds, so be careful."

Everyone nods at Zai's words.

And... look at the timing, Zai screams.

"Let's go! I take my fellow countrymen's revenge! Let the Dragonias know!

'Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa!

To Zai's words, the other Centaurs raise their voices.

It has the purpose of intimidating Dragonias, but other than that, it must have had the aim of overcoming the fears that are in us.

I understand that we are getting stronger in our training with Vihera.

I am, but it still meant pushing and killing the fear of dragonias that existed in me.

In the meantime, Ray and Vihera, unlike Centaur, go inside the settlement without looking particularly temperamental.

Naturally, the dragonias who were in the settlement are also new enemies with the roar of Centaur...... no, they move happily into the presence of new bait.

If you try dragonias, there's someone here to satisfy our hunger, so Ning Ro will want it.

"Gragahahahahahahaha!"

With such a deafening roar, many dragonias strike against Ray, Vihera and Centaur.

(After all, a lot of guys get attacked by Vihella.... you're not putting out some weird pheromone or something that only Dragonias can understand, are you?

Having seen Vihera being attacked by many dragonias, Ray unexpectedly questions that.

In fact, without such a thing, it was an incomprehensible phenomenon.

... That would have made Vihella look superb meat to the Dragonias.

"Whoa, whoa! Let's go. Whoa!

Zai roars and thrusts toward the nearby Dragonias.

The settlement was of considerable size, and furthermore the fence class had been destroyed in battle, with ample room to fight.

Fortunately for the Centaurs, even in a fairly large space, if there are more dragonias gathering in search of the meat of Vihella, they will be unable to move.

Punching such a gap, the Centaurs, led by Zai, attack Dragonias.

Naturally, no matter how much Dragonius wants Vihera's meat, he can't imitate leaving his opponents attacking him alone.

Stay out of my way, I wave my nails toward Centaur, who has attacked me with frustration.

But naturally, such a proper attack cannot lead to the Centaurs today, dodging the attack and unleashing a counter blow.

Of course, there's nothing like being lightly killed in a Centaur attack, just Dragonias covered in tough scales.

However, when it comes to preventing attacks altogether, the answer is no.

Just being slapped from the top of the scale can be a shock, and sometimes an attack hits a spot where the scale isn't growing by chance.

Anyway, the Dragonias here haven't had that much time since the battle.

Centaur, who was in this settlement, lost most of it and was eaten and killed by Dragonius, but he still didn't lose anything.

The readiness to die led many to fight back.

I guess that's how many of the Dragonias are losing their scales in their bodies, which is why Centaur really fought back, too.

That was the cause of the unexpected pain for the Dragonias today.

Although Dragonias, whose intelligence is extremely degraded by hunger, would not have known why they were being damaged.

Dragonias that carry out one attack after another and take damage each time.

Ray, on the other hand, waves a death-size and dusk spear in an easygoing manner, knocking Dragonias off the edge of his eye.

Originally, even with scales, Death Size and Dusk Spears could easily be imitated such as cutting the torso.

Beyond that, the presence of Dragonias for Ray in this present situation was what we should also call Moving Sayamako.

The only difficulty is that with faces like Vihera, Dragonias and Centaur gathered in one place, the result is that it is slightly harder to fight for Ray with a long-held weapon?

If the Death Size or Dusk Spear pattern hits Dragonias, there's nothing wrong with it.

But if it were to hit Centaur, who is fighting Dragonias, that would be another different story.

There was no way to attack an ally, and Ray needed to be more careful not to hit an ally than to kill Ning Lo Dragonias.

"Vihera, move me to a bigger place! Here we are, narrow and unintentionally fighting each other!

"Right. Maybe we should do that!

With that said, a shock by magic is emitted from the palm of his hand, which just touched lightly, directly destroying the body of Dragonias.

The immersive applause, deeply immersed in Vihella's skill, was surprising from Ray's eyes, even though, as always, he only touched his opponent.

(No, the moves are coming out faster than before, and I feel more powerful.... Well, I'm working out Vihera, and it's only natural that I'll be more skilled)

Thinking that way, Ray uses Slapenil's shoes to jump, kick in the air and earn even more altitude after a few Centaurs have timed him and at the same time hit the blown Dragonias with a dusk spear pattern.

From that high point of view, Dragonias, who was quite far away, also perceived this commotion or approached the place where the fighting was taking place.

"I knew it was close to a hundred.... but why do we need to send so many dragonias to a place like this?

That's the question I had when I came to this forest.

The size of this settlement in itself is not that great.

And according to what I heard from the woman who had fled, the number of warriors should not have been that high.

That means nothing more than that Dragonias sent nearly a hundred.

But I don't know why... Ray gave priority to the annihilation of Dragonias.
