Magical Device Craftsman Dahlia Won’t Hang Her Head Down Anymore
191. Swamp Spider Crusade and Expedition Launch
When the mornings disappeared, a lake appeared shaking the surface of the blue water in front of him.
The city and the surrounding fields, only responsible for its water, are quite large.
In front of the lake, in the trees along the road, there was a huge spider's nest.
The green mixed white yarn is the earliest rope thickness rather than the spider yarn.
In the shade of a tree is a giant spider that may be four meters long.
Due to its size, the blocked body hair is noticeable. It turns black from the dark blue of the torso to the leg, which is a nasty substitute, hard enough to stab the body.
Eight black eyes don't move, whether this one is visible or not. It's just creepy and glowing.
"That's Marsh Spider."
"You know me well."
Griselda has answered his words, vice president of the Second Knights, with a neat smile.
I didn't come here unplanned with myself.
I did enjoy the expedition a little because I was unfamiliar with it.
But the crusader heard of the great spider, opened the demonic drawings and books, asked the magician, and measures have been put in place.
The fur color, which turns from dark blue to black towards the feet, is characteristic of the swamp spider (Marsh Spider).
Swamp spiders (marsh spiders) are powerful but not poisonous.
Its weakness is fire. Fortunately, this is the side of the lake. I am not worried about extending the burn.
After someone who can use magic taps fire magic into a swamp spider (Marsh Spider), aim for eight legs. And you just have to slash where you stopped.
Twelve knights, even if they pull themselves out to command. You won't have a problem slashing eight legs. That's what I decided.
There are also measures to be taken.
In the book, the swamp spider (Marsh Spider) thread was said to burn with fire.
For this reason, the knights of the Second Knights have been dressed in temperature-blocking armor resistant to fire, and have been forced to wear military shoes with the same function.
If you burn it out with fire magic or fire magic guides that you let each of us have, it shouldn't be a problem.
"Then let me go with you. Visit the Demon Crusade Squad until it's over."
"Okay. Thank you very much."
The deputy captain and deputy captain exchange playful thanks.
Behind that, the crew and the knights just looked at each other to confirm their opponents.
Though I work for the same royal castle, I don't have many opportunities to talk. Even though there are mock wars, they are limited in time. We are not familiar with each other's strengths or collaboration.
The cold smiling Griselda, the one who seems a little intrigued, the one who is strangely narrowing his eyes - was dropped off in the face of such a demonic crusade force, and the Second Knights rushed out.
"Crusade begins!
With his voice, he splits into two groups of six and heads for the swamp spider (Marsh Spider).
Only elite on boulders, moving fast even when wearing armor.
Four magical knights ahead unleash the magic of fire in unison. In the red flame (Sekien), the spider looked like it was going to burn.
Pushu and I heard a distracting noise somewhere.
Splashed around was a fine bump of water.
The fire fades out in the water that the swamp spider (Marsh Spider) spits out of his mouth.
"You think I'm gonna throw up water?!
Surprising voices rise from the mouths of the knights.
There is no description in the book, such as a swamp spider (Marsh Spider) storing water and extinguishing fire. I haven't even heard from the magician.
In fact, demons also learn to fight and devise.
Fewer individuals can survive than large demons. The longer individuals live, the stronger the learning tendency and the more diversified the battle is.
The swamp spider (Marsh Spider), whose fire would have been disturbed, jumped from the shade of a tree towards the knights.
Only the big spider, and its bouncing power is awesome.
Right when we realized it, eight eyes were staring at us.
"Enclose! Fire from behind!
It surrounds the swamp spider (Marsh Spider) and moves to tap into the fire magic again.
But it was the spider who was quick.
The air is shaken and the thread is stretched when the rope is in place.
There is a knight who flew away, and behind him, a knight who could not move.
He did not slash the wound thread and the rear knight was quickly taken away.
"Fire!
To that voice, the knights hurriedly unleashed fire magic and activated the fiery magic guide.
But the yarn just raised the thin, white smoke, and it didn't burn.
"Yarn doesn't burn?!
Swamp spider (Marsh Spider) yarn does burn with fire.
But that's only if the yarn is dry.
If you're a swamp spider (Marsh Spider) who's survived until you're big, then that's a lot of wisdom. It's a common story of dampening and weighing with water and using yarn with increased speed.
For a swamp spider (Marsh Spider), everything that comes to your mouth is prey.
My men, bitten with their arms, scream unbearably.
My body moved where I should have commanded the rescue.
This happened because of the sweetness of my judgment. You can't let your men die from this.
Head to the great spider and force your mouth open with your sword.
Then he grabbed his men off his back and threw them all behind him. All I have to do is hope someone picks it up and helps.
My shoulders and elbows broke and hurt the moment I received my current, shaken, black-haired leg with a sword.
Threads tangle on the ground stepping feet. I can't move a single step at the earliest.
Black jaws and white fangs of spiders, and red mouths.
He tried to activate wind magic and ended up underdeveloped without being able to concentrate. I've never done anything like this before.
Understand your loss of strength with a sword that makes a stain and a sound, and a body that is occasionally pushed low.
Nor is the power called the 'AUGENT ARM' in the Knights comparable to that of a large demonic opponent.
How ironic it is that it is before death that I became aware of such a natural thing.
A demon is a monster.
I now understand what the Demon Crusade Troops were fighting against.
Stunning, horrifying what it means to fight monsters like no other.
your thoughts, your pride, and your weakness.
"Pioneer!"
With a sharp voice, the copper clatter rang three times.
Vibrant red with unexpected sight.
The green forest, the lake of Bi (oh), the red outfit that you can see floating there.
Red Armor (Scarlet Armor), said to be the most dangerous duty of the Demonic Crusade Squad, comes running to him.
But the chin (afterwards), the impending white fangs that make a noise and try to capture themselves in the mouth, are quicker.
Not in time, when I thought so, a man with blue hair slipped between himself and the spider.
And without hesitation, stick an arm with a double-edged dagger in the spider's mouth.
The swamp spider (Marsh Spider) shut his mouth relentlessly, trying to bite off its hand.
"Ice Needle (Ice Needle)!
Ice first or blood first, what I could see from the gap in my mouth was a sphere of ice needles mixed with red.
The blue-haired man shrugged the spider's mouth in exchange for his left arm.
"Guisha!"
The high scream of the swamp spider (Marsh Spider) went up.
"Excuse me!"
Thick arms grab themselves from behind while the situation in front of them is incomprehensible and frightening.
The giant red armor shall not be a spider's thread. Lift yourself and your men with your left and right arms and try to back off.
The giant man took the spider's leg, which had been beaten to death by letting him escape, with his helmet (kabu) without escaping.
If you deviated left or right, you would have decided that you or the knight with the opposite arm could do it.
There was a heavy shock, but I still didn't loosen any arms.
I desperately follow with my gaze what happened to the man who covered himself earlier.
The man who lost one arm nearly backed off with his blood-breathing arm intact.
A tall man goes instead to the spider with two long swords in his hand.
The dark-haired man with no helmet jumped his swinging spider arm high on the scaffold.
A wind magic user or a demon conductor would be assisting with the movement. It's a height that doesn't seem like a jump.
A man's sword descended on the spider's back, drawing a silver line and glowing three times.
In an instant, all eight eyes of the swamp spider (Marsh Spider) had been crushed and the limbs had been slashed.
"As always, my 'Demon King' is"
"We'll get this over with early. Take all of your manners to Reaper."
Somewhere, I can hear voices without tension.
Contrary, the sound of the running shoes sounded terribly rough.
"Giggle! Giggle!
Demon Crusaders are attacked by spiders who are confused and just bump their hands and feet into the dark clouds.
It didn't take a moment to dismantle.
"Thank you for the brilliant manoeuvre"
"No, I..."
Griselda laughs, stopping her words with her palms so that they cannot be seen by those behind her.
"We have successfully completed our crusade. Let's launch here with the Demon Crusade Squad and the Second Knights who are here today."
"Launch, is it?
"Yes, we recently introduced the Expedition Stove, so I was hoping you could join us."
I guess we care about ourselves, the Second Knights, and we're willing to change our story.
But as soon as Griselda talked about the launch, the crew's expression became much brighter.
"Deputy Griselda! Are you sure you want to get the fish?
"Yeah, I'll allow it."
The crew immediately rushed off with a long spear and a net.
Apparently, they're going to get fish from the lake.
I can't tell if that's what the Expedition of the Demon Crusade Force is about, or if we care about ourselves.
"If you're injured, come here! I will treat you."
A cleric and a magician are calling with their hands up.
I took my men, who had just been bitten in the arm, and others who were injured, and I headed there myself.
"You just..."
It was the young man with the blue hair earlier who was having a laugh and conversation with the cleric.
Some giants have their necks confirmed on the side.
"Thank you, that was helpful earlier. Are you guys okay?
"No problem. I was just asked to see you just in case."
"I'm glad you're okay. I'm fine, too. I had my arm grown, too."
I glanced at my white arm from my sleeveless clothes and was surprised as I relieved myself.
"Well... you know, no pain? I'd rather not move it for a while."
"I'm really fine. I'm used to these injuries."
"Are you used to it?
I heard that the Demon Crusade Squad is also heavily wounded.
But I don't think I can get used to having my arm bitten off more than once.
Replace it with your own, but you can never.
"Because it is common for demons to hit me with their hands and feet. I've done more than ten with this arm, and I've done several legs."
"So you're okay with that?
"If you don't work out for a while, you won't be able to use it"
I have no feelings for the young man who says with white arms.
"I caused a lot of trouble here. This filling..."
"When it comes to demons, you're all in the first place, right? Isn't it natural to be nervous?"
A magnificent knight receiving wrist treatment from a cleric has joined the conversation.
"If the demon is in the first place, you're absolutely right..."
"I couldn't move in the first line, my senior grabbed me by the collar and threw me away."
"I was told to stay flat on the ground because I was heavy and could not be moved, because I was in the way"
The Wizard looks far as the crew laughs at each other.
"I couldn't use magic on the fear of a rocky mountain snake (Kraggysnake), screamed, and was about to be wiped. I was praised by the team for being a good bait to draw attention to."
"Live bait......"
Repeat the words of the magician with the blue face of his men.
"The demon crusade is a lifeline..."
"Demons are desperate to live, and this is what we do."
The young man with blue hair answered as a matter of course.
After treating his men's arms, he was also healed elbows and shoulders by a cleric.
Though I didn't think it was a big deal, it was the first time I noticed the degree of injury after the blunt pain disappeared.
The material taken from the swamp spider (Marsh Spider), the corner of my sight that finally took a breath, is transported to the carriage. Fangs are weapons, hair is on protective equipment granting material, and the heart is said to be a medicine.
After the material was taken, it was explained that they were to be buried in a large hole dug nearby, drunk and hand in hand.
I also learned today, for the first time, that the Demon Crusade Squad will politely bury demons.
"Lieutenant, you're ready, come this way."
Soon a waterproof cloth was laid on the meadow, lined with wine from expedition stoves and leather bags.
Invited next to Griselda, he sits hiding his awkwardness.
Nearby, a golden-eyed man was baking small fish on an expedition stove.
If you look closely, it's the one who smashed the eyes of the swamp spider (Marsh Spider) and slashed his limbs off.
The surface of the red armor (scarlet armor) worn had countless scratches.
Not sure if he should speak up, the man turned a beautiful smile to himself.
"It's a salt grill of lake fish. Freshly acquired, please."
They give me a skewered fish that has been grilled, and I wonder how to eat it.
Looking at the side, Griselda was hanging out.
Perhaps this is what you eat in the Demon Crusade Squad. Think so and imitate.
Around the corner, a hot, burnt body creaked into his mouth.
The fat is not like that, but the fresh and honest flavour is irresistible. White with a slight sweetness and just a little more salting.
I also have a small bone, but it didn't bother me at all.
"This is... good"
The nearby knights are also eating with surprised faces.
I didn't think the lake fish, which was just shaken with salt and baked, would be good so far.
"Previously, yesterday's black bread and dried meat were every meal. So much so that it comes with good, thin vegetable soup."
"Didn't you do something like cooking a meal on a bonfire?
"There are also many wetlands, sandboxes, etc. on the expedition, because less than half of them can be fired. Thanks to the expedition stove, the captain was very pleased to make the crew eat a warm meal. This budget made this quarter a little rusty. Still, the Chamber of Commerce has lowered it to no avail to support the team."
"Was it..."
Griselda flips through one expedition stove and stares at the engraved 'Rossetti' name.
"It's an expedition, a meal that could be the crew's 'last supper'. I wanted to introduce it, too, at any rate."
The side I said quietly was, of course, the face of the man leading the squad.
"... I knew nothing about the demons, nothing about the war. Lieutenant, no, Lord Griselda Lanza."
When I tried to change my posture to apologize, Griselda handed me a leather bag of wine.
The same blue eye as the lake pointed this way.
"Lord Vice Commander, if you're about to say an apology, please don't."
"But"
"I have different duties. Isn't it obvious that you're not good at each one?"
"But because of our impudence, we injured your crew."
"Injuries like today are usual. It's all healed too. Above all, because no one is missing."
"No one is missing..."
He rebelled in his mouth and felt cold on his back.
My men's lives, which I was about to lose earlier, and my own lives, which I lost to demons and thought would end.
I did not know the fear of battle, nor was I prepared to die.
"I'm glad our captain is left in the royal castle today. In a state like today's, the Vice Commander would have been reprimanded too."
"... I guess so"
This time, it is my great failure. It's natural for people to say they don't like you, think so and get up.
"I was scolded the other day by the captain for 'captainship conceded as I went to cover my men'. It is the job of the captain/deputy captain to take command, to go and help one person, not to be able to grasp the whole thing, and not to risk the team itself... Absolutely, the position of 'captain' is a difficult one"
"... Yep. It's really hard."
Both myself and Griselda seem to have gone to help their men.
Deputy captain, as deputy captain, it's something to reflect on, but I know how that feels very well.
But there is one thing that is decidedly different.
Unlike herself, Griselda is a real personage.
I never made a fool of myself or made a fool of myself for overlapping all this rudeness and rudeness.
He just told me quietly, moderately, in action.
Make a wish while reflecting deeply on what you can do as a human being or on the differences in vessels.
"My lieutenant, I know this is inconvenient for you with your feet together, but may I also accompany you on your expedition? Of course, it can only be at your convenience. I'd like to ask you to learn from us."
"Welcome. I wish I could train you for interpersonal matches... well, when you get back to King's Capital, why don't you invite the captain and the captain to a get-together or something?
"Thank you. I'd love to be with you."
I don't know which lifted the leather bag first.
Just the two of them, acting like a toast, as a matter of course.
The speech of the crew and the crew is spreading like waves from around.
Those who bake additional lake fish, those who bake out meat and vegetables, and those who carry additional wine out of their carriages - the lakeside, which gets progressively busier, the launch of men close to distance, lasted a long time.
Thereafter, members of the Second Knights were to accompany the Expeditions of the Demon Crusade Unit on a regular basis.
It should be noted that on the way home from this expedition, a row encountered a rocky mountain snake (Kraggysnake).
A luckless rocky mountain snake (Kraggiesnake) slipped off a rocky mountain in a territorial feud and fell directly over the leading group of Griseldas.
Griselda immediately unleashed a water spear (water lance) and just finished Rock Mountain Snake (Kraggiesnake) by herself.
The Second Knights, who were in the rear, were to hear it late.
"Not only is Lord Griselda a a personable man, but his arms are that much too," said the deputy chief of the regiment, exclaiming.
Incidentally, Griselda, regarded by his deputy as a 'real personable man', had beaten his magic into the Rock Mountain Snake (Craggy Snake), even though his men had desperately stopped him.
The only material obtained from the finely chopped Rock Mountain Snake (Kraggiesnake) was a single gray fang.
