Legend

It is the bodies of countless dragonias that are spreading around it.

Blood and sunset were dyeing such countless corpses red.

To be precise, there is no appearance of a superior species with intelligence, but a corpse of a normal… dragonias ruled by hunger.

A little further away from such a corpse, the Centaurs are now gathered for treatment.

Fortunately there were no dead, but the seriously wounded...... there are many who were cut a thousand pieces of meat by Dragonias.

They are currently treating Centaurs like that.

"Haaaah! Damn, that hurts! That dragonias guy, the meat on my arm..."

"Please be quiet. If you're making a scene like that, it's bad for you too!

A woman in Centaur who is being treated applies medicine.

Screaming from the mouth of Centaur, who is injured again, whether the medicine has been stained.

Such a sight can be seen everywhere.

... No, I guess this Centaur is still lucky considering that it is the woman who treats me.

Elsewhere, a relatively shallow man imitates treating someone who has suffered quite a deep wound or something.

As a man, it would still be natural for a woman to be happier to be treated than a man.

"Nevertheless... I didn't think Ray's concerns would hit me any further."

That's what I said, Vihera, who fights Dragonias more intensely than anyone else, but doesn't look like she's had a drop of returned blood.

Ray told me, I rode Seto and came out of the basement, where I was just about to start fighting Dragonias and the Centaurs.

No matter when the Queen calls for reinforcements, it's long before she comes to this underground space.

Did the Queen use the spiritual magic of the earth to prepare some means of movement, or was it a group that happened to be near this underground space?

The reason around it was not known to Vihera, but it is nonetheless true that Vihera and Seto made it.

… but until recently, we fought intelligent Dragonias, starting with the Queen.

Given that, there would be no choice but to fail to gain satisfaction in the fight against the ordinary dragonias dominated by hunger.

It was Vihera, who had fought such battles repeatedly, but naturally the dragonias called for by the Queen were not one group, but more than one.

More than that, it was only natural that reinforcements would come one after the other while the Vihelas were fighting.

That's how we continued to fight extensively, and that battle was finally over.

Most of all, the extension actually made those who fought feel that way, and it wasn't actually that long.

In addition, the fact that reinforcements appeared one after the other would be the same thing as putting in a sequential force.

If all the dragonias had been gathered from the beginning, Vihera and Seto would not have been able to counter that quantity anyway, the Centaurs.

"Vihera, so what are we going to do? Seto has returned to the underground space again."

Zai asks Vihera yes.

Not entirely intact, like Vihela, but the wounds Zai sustained in this battle are to a lesser extent scratches.

The strongest of the scouts - if we don't let the Rays in - only Centaur has enough strength now to fight, even with multiple dragonias.

"It's about Seto, so you probably felt something about Ray"

Vihera also knows about Ray's circumstances, so naturally, but she also knows about Warcraft.

More than Ceto created by Ray's magic, Ray and Ceto are connected by magic, and I wonder if Ceto felt some kind of Ray crisis around there.

Even though I envy the connection between Ray and Seto just a little bit, Vihera checks on what's going on around her.

In the meantime, I've defeated all the dragonias I've attacked, but that's only the opponent I've attacked so far.

It is not even known to Vihera how far the Queen has contacted other bases.

Even now, it is possible that Dragonius and the others will attack again.

... That's why Vihera didn't imitate like picking up Ray with Seto, and this is how she stayed on the ground.

"... apparently, Vihera was right about what she said?

"Huh?"

To Zai's words, Vihera turns her gaze to the ramp that leads to the underground space.

Then there, Seto, with the fainted Ray on his back, just showed up.

"Ray!?

To an unexpected sight, Vihera runs out with a voice of surprise.

For Vihera, Ray is the most powerful person.

If I saw Ray like that pass out on Seto's back, I wouldn't have been able to tell him not to be surprised.

"... you're a woman"

Zai shrugs when she sees Vihera, who also ran out in total disregard of what was going on around her.

When I'm training the Centaurs, including myself, I don't think they're very women.

No, actually, if I try Centaur, I don't feel a woman in Vihera with only two legs.

Still, I know naturally from that shape that Vihella is a woman in two legs.

But...... if you look at the way they also run ignoring the surrounding conditions towards Ray like they do now, you can understand that that's how smudging and vihella are women.

"In the meantime, should I leave you two alone now?... No, I'm sorry, but you can't afford that."

If I were you, I'd want to do it just for Vihera and Ray.

But we need to be prepared to deal with it more than just not necessarily when the new Dragonias will not strike again.

And when something happened, we needed to assume that role immediately, more than Ray could use as a force.

The biggest force in the current situation is Vihella, not Ray.

... No, there's Seto, but that Seto just seems to concentrate on whether Ray is worried or not.

Though I think it's bad for those Rays, Zai moves closer towards you.

Lovers - not exactly - were Zai, who could be turned to blame by the Centaur women for not getting in the way of, but given the current situation, someone needed to be a villain.

"Vihera, how's Ray?

"... apparently not fatal injuries or anything like that. Extremely worn out and fainted... or is this sleeping?"

To Zai's words, Vihera tells him so in a reassuring manner.

To the word sleeping, Zai also sees how Ray is... sure, that looked most worthy of the expression sleeping well.

It wasn't like there was nowhere to think that I was sleeping in the current situation... but given the presence of the queen I heard from Vihella, I eventually fought that opponent alone, so I have no choice.

"In that case, if the new Dragonius comes, we can't count on Ray as a force of war."

"... is Ray asleep? I wanted to ask you a lot about the Queen."

It was Anastasia who could have followed Fana to the side who squealed unhappy with Zai's words like that.

Until earlier, I was treating an injured Centaur, and I guess I came to see how it went when I heard about Ray coming back.

Only Anastasia, curious, would have liked to hear what the Queen of Dragonias had come to an end...... Hate and now Ray is asleep and unable to listen.

He was an anastasia with a slightly boring look in that way, but soon opens his mouth to Zai.

"In the meantime, Ray's back from underground space... and Ray's back, you knocked the queen out too, didn't you? Then you don't have to be here forever, do you? If you move away from the dragonias who come here, you'll be safe for now."

Zai, who said so, is unwittingly convinced.

Yes, we were guarding this place in the first place only to cover the Rays who entered the underground space.

But if Ray defeated the queen who was in underground space, you don't have to wait here forever.

"Right. If Ray defeated the Queen, we don't need to protect him. Then shall we just move here while we can?... I'd like to have a place where I can camp if I can before nightfall."

Turn your gaze to the words of Vihella, to the sunset that many who were listening to it were setting across the horizon.

As it is, it is obvious that it will change from evening to night not so far away.

Before that happens, the camp needs to be well prepared.

"But without Ray... the camp is going to be pretty dangerous"

Zai is still fainting...... no, look at Ray sleeping and squeal like that.

Apart from producing countless bodies a little further away than Dragonias reinforcements were called by the Queen, there is a good chance that other Dragonias will come.

Then, naturally, the Rays resting in the camp would be easy to attack.

Until now, Ray's terrain manipulation skills have allowed him to create walls and moats to consolidate his defenses.

However, in the current situation where Ray is still sleeping, such imitation cannot be done.

If Ray wakes up, there are means such as having him use terrain manipulation... and Zai shakes his head sideways thinking so.

Now Ray is tired and asleep.

If we were to call Ray like that and let him use terrain manipulation, that would be the kind of thing that Vihella wouldn't shut up about.

(When that happens, should I get as far away from here as I can)

Naturally, the Queen called for reinforcements, but the reinforcements should come for us, and if we get away from here, we don't have to encounter the dragonias of reinforcements.

Or considerably less likely to be encountered.

"Okay, then we'll get as far away from here as we can before sundown! Even though Ray is here, it's never safe here under the circumstances.... No, there's also the possibility that Dragonias will come after Ray"

Everyone obeys Zai's words honestly.

Given the current situation, there can be no one who disagrees with the act of leaving the place where Dragonias would come.

But in that, Asdena accidentally opens her mouth.

"I agree with moving out of here, but the Queen must have been defeated by Ray, right? So it's not necessarily that Dragonias will obey the orders given by the Queen?

The word gives some Centaurs a convincing look... but Zai shakes his neck sideways.

"I also know what Asdena is trying to say, but just because the queen is dead doesn't mean that the order will be revoked. That's because it's the Queen's last order, and there's a good chance Dragonias won't stop moving on."

"... then surely we should get away from here"

Nor did Asdena say anything about whether the order was valid or not, even now that the queen died because she didn't like to leave here.

In the first place, near where Asdena and the others are now, there are a large number of bodies of Dragonias.

Even now, the smell of Dragonias' blood and guts is drifting.

More than that, few people naturally want to stay here forever.

"Well, let's just say we leave. I'd better get out of here as soon as I can than I've decided to move. And... so tired, Ray wants to get some rest."

No one disagrees with Zai's words, and he will be ready to leave soon.

"Hey, Zai.... What about Dragonias' body?

Asdena squeaks like that as she sees a herd of Dragonias' bodies.

Naturally, there is no doubt that over time it will emit quite a bit of a stench beyond the massive presence of Dragonias' corpse in this situation today, and the possibility of becoming undead cannot be denied.

If that's possible, that's definitely what you should burn all the bodies themselves...... Zai shakes his neck sideways to such Asdena's words.

"We can't afford to be collecting corpses and burning them in the present situation. After tomorrow, when Ray wakes up, will you put it together and do something about it... at worst, do you need to leave it like this?"

"Are you serious?

"It's only the worst case scenario. I don't want to keep it that way if I can, either.... even without Centaur's survival around here."

The forest settlement that Zai and the others used as a temporary base was the last settlement of Centaur around here.

Beyond that, I don't mind Dragonias' body becoming undead... but it could also be a plague, and as someone who lives on this meadow more than that, it was sincere for Zai not to want to imitate such a thing if he could.
