The moment he sees the settlement being attacked by Dragonias, several Centaurs jump out in the form of a step out of the scout team.
Ray thought of what was unsolicited, but when I remembered that those Centaurs were from a settlement that was being attacked by a herd of dragonias, I also understood the feeling that suddenly popped up.
"We're going on, too!
Ray's ears also heard Zai scream as he pursued the protruding Centaurs.
To Zai's words like that, the other Centaurs run like they're motivated.
"Gru?"
A little late, what's Seto going to do toward Ray? Ask.
In response to such Ceto, Ray thinks a little... that we should help the settlement for now, so he nods and gently slaps Ceto in the neck.
"Go."
"Grrrrrrrrrrrr!"
To Ray's words, Seto runs out toward the settlement as he rattles.
Despite having Ray and Vihella on their backs, that speed is never beaten by Centaur.... No, if you see Ning Luo trailing through a bunch of Centaurs, you can say that its speed is overwhelming.
(Stored inside the mistering, the body of Dragonias. There's no way you're going to miss out on that.)
With that in mind, Ray takes the Death Size and Dusk Spear out of the mistering.
Though I thought this would allow me to obtain Dragonias' body, there was a thought in Ray that convinced me at the same time as one question.
After all, just because you killed the queen doesn't stop Dragonias from acting, does it?
Nevertheless, I had understood that for a long time.
In the first place, even after Ray defeated the Queen, it was because on earth the Centaurs and the Dragonias called by the Queen were fighting.
However, a few days have passed since we left the place where the underground space was located.
In the meantime, there was absolutely nothing to encounter with Dragonias.
That's why Ray was surprised to find the settlement being attacked by Dragonias this time.
There is still quite a distance, but on the side of the settlement we see the sight of Centaur fighting Dragonias.
However, you can never say that the Centaur you are fighting is strong.
I know you actually have the right amount of strength, but you're in the scout squad... and compared to the Centaurs who are running a simulated battle with Vihera, you really look inferior in skill.
I guess that's what the scouts Centaur understood, too.
The centaurs fighting Dragonius never seemed strong enough.
... If you try and make it Centaur, a scout team that is fighting Dragonias more than ever and even more powerful than such Dragonias in mock warfare with Vihela and Ray, you question the Centaur, who are struggling with ordinary Dragonias against their opponents.
Nevertheless, if we saw those fighting in the settlement, we needed to defeat the Dragonias, who are now attacking the settlement as soon as possible.
"Whoa, whoa, whoa!
Guess he's from that settlement. Centaur deliberately roars to let him know that reinforcements are here.
Naturally, the warriors of the settlement, fighting Dragonias, turn their gaze to those who speak up.
And I notice a centaur with a familiar man poking towards the settlement.
"Hey, it's Deoredas! Deoredas and the others are back! Reinforcements are here!
Other Centaurs roared and morale increased at the words of Centaur, who shouted so.
Though Dragonias and the others showed a slight surprise at Centaur, whose attitude changed all of a sudden, nevertheless the hunger-dominated Dragonias immediately strip out their fangs in an attempt to eat and kill the opponent in front of them.
However... until recently, those who might have been damaged by such a Dragonias attack will succeed in avoiding the attack by gaining morale.
On the contrary, there were even those who were fighting back against the counter feeling while dodging.
As it is, they will be wiped out by both the settlers.
As reinforcements at that time...... it was also impossible to tell people from this settlement not to be happy with it because they brought their people along.
... Though some Centaur had a complicated look at Deoredas and the others.
Deoredas and the others are not the true heads of this settlement, even if they are skilled.
The settlement, like any other settlement, sent arms to the scouts, but it is not the top of the settlement or the top of the class.
So the top ones, in the true sense, were complacent that they were the best of this settlement.
But even in such a battle with the herd of Dragonias, they were pushed in.
If the number of dragonias were a little smaller, or could have been worked out...... such things would be now.
And... the look on their faces freezes because Deoredas and the others attacked Dragonias.
Of course, I figured I could fight Dragonias to some extent because he was the owner of top notch strength in the settlement. I thought... it was totally unexpected that I could handle one Dragonias on my own.
It is also not just Deoredas alone, but likewise all those who joined the scout team from this settlement, dealing with one Dragonias alone.
... Not only that, but the faces of the other scouts who came late from Deoredas and the others are also dealing with one Dragonias by themselves... For Zai, who leads the scouts, he dealt with several Dragonias by himself.
From previous common sense, it took more than one centaur to defeat a single dragonias.
But now that you're doing this, where did that common sense go? And that's what I think.
As the scouts enter the battle, the number of Dragonias falls sharply.
Not to mention that if Ray, Seto and Vihera are to participate in that battle and Anastasia is also to be covered by spiritual magic, the only thing that happens there is unilateral ravages.
As a result, the battle, in which the Centaur warriors were dyeing their faces with despair, was ended in the form of the total annihilation of Dragonias before it was enough.
Before the Rays arrived, there were several people on the Centaur side who were eaten and killed, but since the Rays arrived, there have been injured but no dead.
... because not just those who can be convinced with it, but some... especially those close to Centaur, who died before the Rays arrived, turn a dissatisfied gaze at the Rays.
Still, I guess I don't put dissatisfaction directly into words like why you didn't come sooner, because I understand that's irrational.
He was a scout squad with such a gaze from the settler warriors, but Zai and the others have nothing in particular to say about it.
If we were in the same position as the warriors in this settlement, it would definitely be because we thought the same thing.
That is why the facades of the reconnaissance team did not imitate the warriors of the settlement so as to speak, but rather gathered pale Dragonias' bodies in front of Ray.
Had it been before, it would have imitated things like Ray burning Dragonias' body or using terrain manipulation to bury the body on the ground.
But Ray today chooses not either of them, but the method of storing all the bodies in mysteries.
The reason for this is not that there is anything particularly difficult, but simply that there are going to be fewer opportunities ahead for Ray to obtain Dragonias' body.
There will be no new dragonias produced more than having defeated the Queen of Dragonias.
In other words, the dragonias that currently exist in this world are the last.
There is still a good amount of Dragonias corpses in Mystering, but when it comes to anything other than intelligent Dragonias corpses, the majority of them are red scaled Dragonias.
For Ray, the red scaled dragonias are certainly rare, but just like that, the scaled dragonias of other colors are also definitely rare.
Ray doesn't even know what magic items can be made with material taken from Dragonias' body.
In the first place, I don't even know if I can really use it.
That's why I wanted to keep Dragonias' body as secure as possible, no matter what.
Fortunately, the settlers wouldn't have said anything about how Ray looked like that.
No, a lot of people are turning their gratitude gaze to Ray for cleaning up their bodies.
Dragonias have great individual differences, but the majority are still around three meters tall.
In other words, as big as that, the weight is commensurate.
Cleaning up those bodies is a struggle for Centaur as well.
That's what Ray does instead, so I guess it's natural for someone to come out and thank for it.
If we imitate the way we leave Dragonias' body intact, will it rot and spread the plague with the stench, or will it be undead?
Either way, because we're only waiting for the worst future.
That's how I succeed in storing all Dragonias' bodies in mystering.
... though, naturally, though I brought the body, some of it... amputated fingertips, chopped eyeballs, pieces of flesh and gut that exploded with Seto's blow could not just be collected, so they remained scattered around.
(We'll just have to get those settlers around here to handle it.... it's just a hassle to collect pieces of meat or something)
That's what I decided...... the next thing Ray's gaze was pointed at was Zai.
Zai was giving instructions to the other faces of the scout team to collect Dragonias' body, but now that it's over, I wonder what he's going to do.
"Zai, what are you going to do? Do you want to leave like this? Or do you camp near the settlement"
"Right.... I'd like to leave if I can... after the battle."
It was a one-sided ravage in content, but that's not why the scouts are not tired.
No, I can tell you that it was a unilateral ravage, and now that the battle is over, it's pretty worn out.
"I can leave without a problem. The rest of us are the same."
I nod to Asdena's words as other faces agree.
But... Zai's gaze was directed at the faces of non-combatants, not those who were fighting.
Those who took part in the battle are not that tired. But the faces of non-combatants are different.
Unlike those who repeatedly conducted mock warfare with Vihela, non-combatants do not have particularly trained facades.
Of course I have more physical ability than being a centaur...... Still, it was physically and mentally difficult to leave immediately in the present situation.
"No, let's take a short break before we do it"
That's the decision Zai made in the end.
Still, I didn't make things like staying in this settlement because this settlement is also busy with its processing due to the raid on Dragonias today.
The body of Dragonias was taken by Ray, but there is also the problem of those who were eaten and killed by Dragonias.
I guess that's what you decided at such a time that it could be a lot of trouble to have someone other than this settler.
"Zai, you can cover the settlement with dirt walls for anything, but what do we do? Or you can build a shelter next to the settlement covered with dirt walls."
Zai was a little lost in hearing about the suggestion that came out of Ray's mouth... eventually he asks the head of this settlement and decides from then on.
Even though it was a word from kindness, you didn't think you could do something like cover the settlement with dirt walls or build a shelter on your own.
... Though Centaur is a herding clan.
Even if we imitate this settlement by covering it with dirt walls, we can't imitate that when we move from here, we take the dirt walls, unlike the tents.
I can't be in this place much longer than I am grazing.
"Come here for a second!
Zai calls me, and Deoredas from this settlement is coming.
And a suggestion from Zai...... I hear a suggestion from Ray to be exact and head right into the settlement.
Sometimes the result was just a raid by Dragonias, and Ray was going to build a shelter surrounded by dirt walls in a form adjacent to the settlement.
