"... that's surprising"

The word Ray uttered out of the magic tent was that.

The sun is already floating in the sky, and it's obvious it's morning.

... Yes, after all, there was no Dragonias raid yesterday.

I naturally thought there would be a raid last night, more than close to the home of Dragonias, but from Seto on watch, there was no sound of alarm whatsoever.

That means there was no dragonias raid.

As for Ray, I appreciate it because I slept slowly, but I still wouldn't be able to help wondering.

"Dragonias isn't a single rock either... but given the nature of Dragonias, there's no alternative to a single rock."

"That's right. To be honest, that's the most troublesome part."

Even with a certain number of enemies, the difficulty changes dramatically with or without their unity.

If you're rubbing an inner circle in each of the groups, it's not that hard to win a fight.

That's why if we make that inner rub so intense, we'll destroy ourselves before Ray does something.

With that in mind, there was no doubt that such opponents could easily be defeated for Ray.

But if we are in a state of unanimity and should call it a single rock, it will be very difficult to defeat that opponent.

"Whatever... you just have to deal with that a lot more than you understand the enemy is a single rock.... It's also true that it's difficult."

Vihera nodded at Ray's words, and for now, if he had breakfast, he'd just leave, and that's what Ray thinks. Ray heads toward the Centaurs.

Naturally, the Centaurs are awake more than the Rays are awake.

... No, if you try Centaur and the others, many of them couldn't sleep slowly while approaching the home of Dragonias, or maybe there was.

When I'm really nervous, I don't sleep well, or wake up earlier than I planned.

The direction of tension is different, but it's like being unable to sleep the day before an excursion or athletic event, or waking up early in the morning, becomes that way.

Incidentally, when Ray was also an elementary school student in Japan, he was too excited to sleep because he enjoyed it the day before the excursion, and went on an excursion because he was sleepless, so he had a fever and drove his teacher back to school and slept in the infirmary... and so on.

The opposite was true of nervousness and excitement, and reasons for not being able to sleep, but the history is similar as a result anyway.

(Still, the Centaurs joining the scout squad are adults, so I don't think that's going to happen.... It's a bunch of people with arms.)

With that in mind, Ray takes out the ingredients for breakfast... and the scout team faces eat a solid breakfast and get ready.

It should be noted that I always eat a good breakfast, but today it was a more solid menu breakfast than usual.

The reason is still significant because the current location is in the middle of Dragonias' sphere of power.

It means luxurious breakfast and a little more morale, and there's the question of whether the place is just for the place and you can have a good lunch or dinner.

That's why you need to eat well when you can.

And as soon as breakfast time is over, everyone starts to get ready to leave.

Store the tent in Ray's Mystering and prepare your weapon so that you can be attacked by Dragonias whenever you want...

"Okay, then... I'll break the wall. I know it's okay, but I don't know what happens the moment the wall breaks. There's a chance Dragonius might come in, so be careful."

That's what I was going to tell you, Ray, but I actually understood that there was no dragonias on the other side of the wall.

There was nothing like feeling signs of Dragonias, and above all, the fact that Seto doesn't feel the presence of Dragonias is huge.

If Dragonias was waiting on the other side of the wall, then Seto should have felt it immediately.

"Ray, this camp... what are we gonna do? Like before, leave it like this?

Zai looks at Ray with Death Size in his hand and speaks such a question.

If I tried Zai, I would have wondered so much if I would do the same this time because I had left it open for use again later when I had created the same camp before.

"I'm going to. Break only a part of the wall we're leaving, otherwise leave it there."

"... I've heard this before, but wouldn't Dragonias use this place?

The location of the previously created camp was not yet entirely within Dragonias' sphere of influence.

However, we can say that this is now more than near the home of Dragonias, it is entirely within the Dragonias' sphere of influence.

That is why it has been more and more dangerous to leave the camp as it is.

Yeah, well, what Zai's trying to say, Ray knows better too.

Nevertheless, when it comes to undoing all the dirt walls in this camp, it takes time to use terrain manipulation skills.

No way, it seemed to Ray that it was still best to leave it as it was here than to imitate the earth walls undone at the same time as we were preparing our meals.

(Thinking about if an enemy attacks you during a meal... yeah, I figured I should just leave it like this)

Decide so, open your mouth.

"If you're a regular dragoniac, you don't have the wisdom to use this place. If I had Commander Dragonias, maybe I'd use this place... but then I did, and even this way, there's something I can do about it."

Ray's... Death-sized terrain manipulation skills made it possible to cover the entire camp in this way.

Given that, if Dragonias had used this camp, he could attack from anywhere with Ray.

... Though Ray is the only one who can do that, and it would be pretty tough for a bunch of Centaurs without Ray to fight the dragonias caged in this camp.

"If that's what Ray says... just take it, okay"

It didn't look like I was completely convinced, but you still decided you should follow Ray's instructions now, and Zai returns the word that way.

"Well, then... looks like it's time to get ready, and we should leave, right? Zai, please give me a signal."

Zai nods at Ray's words and opens his mouth as he looks at the Centaurs who are gazing at him.

"Okay, we're leaving. If you can, by the end of the day, try to reach the home of Dragonias and destroy it!

Zai screaming to encourage everyone.

It seemed to Ray to be slightly obsessive, but fortunately the Centaurs didn't think so when they heard the words.

Everyone who hears Zai speak up in a motivated manner or tremble like a samurai tremor.

It means a lot to many Centaurs that the battle against Dragonias may be over.

Since Dragonius appeared, he was called the grassland champion… and the Centaurs, who had recognized themselves, were ravaged by the presence of Dragonius.

No, it wasn't just ravaged, for Dragonias, it was even recognized as bait.

As a grassland champion Centaur, it's not very, but it's not acceptable.

The history of that humiliation is finally over.

Given that, I'm pretty sure that the situation now that we have found the home of Dragonias by the presence of Ray and his companions was an event that should also be called heavenly help.

Thus, today is the day to prepare the line with a view to arriving at the home of Dragonias…

"All right, we'll destroy the wall! Topographic manipulation!"

With such Ray's words, part of the wall that was covering the camp goes down to the ground when he thinks the Death Size Stone Penetration touched the ground.

Also, moats, or trenches without water, which would not have been visible from within the camp but existed around the walls, are only naturally raised where the walls have disappeared.

"Whoa, whoa, whoa."

Most people have seen Ray's skills in topographic manipulation before, more than just acting with Ray.

Nonetheless, when I am shown my terrain manipulation skills in front of me in this way, I am really surprised by it.

Manipulating freely as you think of the ground may be an unnecessarily stronger shock than normal because that is the centaur walking through the meadows.

... Most importantly, the topographical manipulations used by Ray today are on a considerable scale.

At any rate, you can raise or lower the radius of seventy meters to your liking at a height of one hundred and fifty centimeters around you.

However, only about ten seconds are you raising your voice of surprise.

Immediately led by Zai, the reconnaissance team leaves.

Particularly prominent among these would still be the Centaurs, who carry the eggs of the Spirit on the divine shrine.

Using the power of the Spirit's eggs, Anastasia explores where Dragonias is based.

However, Anastasia today is not tired of yesterday's schedule.

I went to the tent early last night and slept well into the morning, but I guess the biggest reason is still because the reason I was so tired yesterday was because I dug out the Spirit's eggs.

Since I put it on top of the shrine, it hasn't even worn out that much.

"Anastasia, it's fine in this direction, right?

Zai running the lead asks Anastasia, who is behind him more than he is.

... The abandonment of Anastasia's name gave Damran and his settlers a slightly dissatisfied look, but Zai waits for Anastasia's reply without noticing or not noticing it.

"Wait a minute."

To Zai's words, Anastasia focuses her consciousness and calls to the Spirit, while moving the deer to the immediate side of the divine shrine and touching the Spirit's eggs.

Then, at the next moment, forces are released from the eggs of the Spirit as if they were radar in a circular fashion… Eventually, Anastasia nods to Zai, who confirms the location of the home of Dragonias.

"Phew.... right. I'm pretty sure it's in the current direction. However, it goes without saying to Zai, you should be aware that running can deviate from nature and direction of travel."

"Okay."

Running, the direction of travel deviates slightly at some point.

That, for Zai...... no, if it was Centaur, it was something everyone knew for granted.

I guess that's why I quickly returned the words of recognition to Anastasia's words.

That's how the scouts run the meadows ahead of Zai.

It is responsible for the divine priesthood with the eggs of the Spirit on it, so its speed is really slow compared to that of the original Centaur.

But... I used to carry it all day yesterday, and the Centaurs are used to carrying the gods, and those in charge of the gods are moving faster than they did yesterday.

I wonder if they are aware of it. He smiles happily, nodding face-to-face at each of them.

(At this rate, can we move faster than planned?

Ray nods satisfactorily on Seto's back as he watches the Centaurs like that.

Where the arrival time to the home of the intended Dragonias has been slightly reduced, that makes no significant difference.

No, but still the slightly quicker arrival time meant that that would eliminate any extra fighting with Dragonias.

That's something to welcome for Ray, and I'm not going to deny it at all.

"Ray, look at that one for a second!

When an hour or so had passed since I started running, Zai, who was running the lead, shouted so unexpectedly.

What the hell is that?

With that in mind, Ray sees who Zai shows... with a disgusting look on his face.

Because there was a settlement there.

… precisely what should be called the remains of the settlement.

"It must have been Dragonias."

"Other than that, yeah, there's no reason to be that way.... No, it's possible that we abandoned the settlement for some reason... but given the situation around here now, that's quite unlikely."

"What do we do? You want me to drop by? Maybe... just in case, there's a chance of survival."

That's what Ray asked, but Zai shook his neck sideways, even with a careless look on his face at the words.
