Master of the brave.

"... situation. I'm sorry, but it's just us. We'll buy time, so we'll do our best. Get away from me as soon as you can!

A rally point built in the centre of the village of Torque.

The movements of the adventurers who were gathering there with a serious face suddenly became hasty.

Adventurers rushing out into the village trying to jump out.

Most of them had gloomy and impatient shapes.

It was understandable that things were progressing among the villagers who were trying to surround the assembly area and watching the adventurers, although I didn't know what was going on.

Earlier, there have also begun to come out those who speak of anxiety.

She also held the arms of her father, who stood by her side without being able to hide her anxiety among such villagers.

I wanted to ask what the situation was, but the villagers can't speak to the adventurers who seem busy running around, yelling and doing some support.

I just had to watch it bite my teeth.

In the meantime, as the leader of the adventurers from within the assembly hall, a man who was introduced when he visited this village stood before the villagers.

The man, named Riggs, began to briefly explain to the villagers, who verbally asked to finally know the situation.

That the bandits are on their way to this village.

The size is two hundred people.

That there was a group inside that seemed to be the Petersian army.

That there have already been victims on the adventurers we sent out for reconnaissance.

I don't think I can win at all by looking at it militarily, I'd rather abandon this village and flee to Nest, the neighboring town.

"You want us to abandon our homeland?

"It will be your request to protect us!

The villagers who change their blood phase and roughly clog their voices to Riggs, who tells them to abandon their birthplace and flee the crop they grew up to this point.

But...

"Shut up!"

At Riggs' sip, the villagers silenced in an instant.

A group of adventurers - it is also a man who usually binds even those who belong to different parties.

There was a stark difference in character from just the villagers there.

Riggs opened his mouth after he looked around at the villagers holding his mouth.

"Ready? I don't have time to be complaining, and I don't have time to be complaining. To be honest, I don't even have time to convince you guys. That's why I say it. To be clear, we can't beat the Bandits alone or the Petersian army. Run if you don't want to die. Run to Nest for your life. I can come back to my hometown if I'm alive. But if he dies, that's it. That's all you can say from me! It's up to you guys to choose. Make yourself at home. Bye!"

Try to get up and tell him in one breath, Riggs turns his heel and runs to the other adventurers.

The villagers just dropped it off.

I can't even speak up or anything.

Signs of impatience drifting from Riggs' back.

That back of running away was telling the truth that what he was saying was not a joke or something, but that the situation was really pressing.

"Oh, hey... what are you gonna do?

"Anyway, like they said, you better run"

Villagers moving out in noronoro and heavy footsteps.

Not yet on everyone's face, unbelievable, not a lie? The color of the doubt was floating around, but still moved to start evacuating, as I was told.

"Father?"

"Oh, yeah, let's get ready to run, too."

When she pulls her arm, her daddy, who was stunned, also walks out.

Return to your home and tell your mother what's going on.

My mother looked incredible, too, to be honest, but when my father brought out his luggage and started bracketing it, he started helping.

She also begins to support.

Nevertheless, it is a village that is never rich.

It's not like there's a lot of baggage.

I was almost ready.

That's right! Give me the crop seeds and something else I can make money of...

Side by side with her parents loaded with household utensils, she headed to the barn where she kept crops, mountain vegetables, etc.

I don't know how long evacuation will last.

The story says there is a mix of armies from other countries.

If it were an occupation, it wouldn't come true to come back here any time soon.

If you do poorly, you might even escape from the city of Nest.

It also loads onto the carrier a bunch of herbs that haven't been fried yet, roots of trees that serve as medicines, pills and other less sticky items.

Because it can be redeemed at grocery stores, pharmacies, etc.

It would be better than not selling that high but no.

In doing so, people gathered on the road leading to the city of Nest to see if the other villagers were ready to flee.

"I hear a few adventurers ran to the city of Nest. He wants reinforcements from the Lord and the Imperial forces stationed there."

My father is talking to a familiar villager.

The city of Nest is an emerging city that has developed around the fortifications where the Knights are stationed.

It was a small city built around that fortress that was evacuated by people from surrounding villages and cities that were destroyed when a bunch of demons pushed over a few years ago.

The lords of the region had also moved their inns to Nest because the city they had ruled had been destroyed.

For this reason, there were two imperial armies stationed in Nest: the army of the lords and the Knights packing in the fort.

If the Imperial Army, mainly the army of the Lords and the Knights, rushes to reinforce us, we may be able to return to our homeland in a shorter period than we think.

There was a somewhat more optimistic air among the villagers than when I heard from Riggs.

Most adventurers now gather on mountain paths opposite the city of Nest.

I guess the bandits are coming down that mountain path because they are somehow convincing the reluctant villagers and then destroying some houses and building an easy barricade.

She stared silently at the sight as she sat down next to her mother.

I feel lonely that the landscape that I kept seeing from a young age is transforming.

Two, it was in her eyes that a young adventurer boy ran his horse in a different direction than Nest.

He was about the same age as a boy.

He was running a horse, so he quickly hid in the trees and lost sight of it, but it kind of seemed like he was crying.

Maybe it's my fault.

Because there's no way you can see the look of a human on the back of a running horse in an instant.

"That's the direction of the Imperial City."

Father stumbles on his daughter staring at the direction the horse ran away.

"I hear the lord hasn't returned in years since he went to the Imperial City. I can't believe this is happening at a time like this..."

How much will the Lords Army in the absence of the Lords and the knights of the Empire in the city of Nest move?

After getting the information that they went to call for reinforcements, the villagers would just quietly take a trip to the anxiety of recruiting although they had somewhat regained their feelings.

Even though we have luggage in our women and children up to the city of Nest, we should be able to reach it after noon if we take a break but proceed by force.

Besides, if the adventurers who preceded us as a precursor had told the city, they would also be prepared to receive villagers who would be evacuated on the city side.

I have heard that in some cities we sometimes reject people who come to shelter, but the lords of this province have given us generous asylum for their inhabitants.

I had the reassurance that I wouldn't be in that situation.

How long has it been since you left the village?

"A knight... they're from the city of Nest"

The sun also rose high, and a line of villagers walked in on luggage cars that were taking turns pulling physically weak children and elderly people.

In the middle of it she was just staring at the ground and walking, as she bent over, but raised her head to the voice raised by the villager who was walking in the lead.

I did see more than one person riding a horse forward.

Looks like a lot of people.

"Yes, thank God. The Nests..."

The atmosphere of relief flows in line.

She was so relieved that she accidentally lost her power from all over her body, too.

Her father took her to the city of Nest and she has been there many times too.

The main purpose is to shop in cash obtained by selling village crops.

Most of them were self-sufficient and could be purchased from regular visiting pedestrians, but some could not be purchased without being in the city.

So we go to the city a few times a year.

Because it is an emerging city, it was an overwhelmingly small category of city compared to other cities in the empire, but it is an emerging but thus vibrant city.

Besides, the only city she knows is the old Nest, which has been destroyed by demons outside of Nest.

So for those who came from elsewhere, Nest continued to be in the city of admiration for her, even if it was a small city.

Shopping takes a lot of time, so you'll be staying at a destination lodging.

Shopping in the city was one of the few pleasures she had a few times a year alongside the village harvest festival.

And for her, Nest has more intense memories.

That day four years ago - a bunch of demons who attacked a strip around here.

I was to escape to the city of Nest with my parents, and the villagers, just as I am now.

He continued to escape the demons that overflowed from the woods from the mountains and fled into the fort with his life.

But it was also a miserable situation inside the fort.

There, people with serious injuries are put to sleep and groaned.

Some of them had already run out.

Although death of a person is not uncommon in this day and age, I nevertheless never see so many deaths.

Fear of imminent death.

The screams of the runaway and late devils heard from outside the fort, and the roars of the demons.

The screams of the semi-frequents filled the fort, and the moans and cries of powerlessness.

And surviving knights who continue to scold people like that.

The knights had managed to explore the means to survive, and those who could fight cried out for help.

In the arms of her parents embracing the sight, she was just watching.

She's only a child, she's powerless, she's just frightened and trembling.

But one girl appears before her like that.

To a girl called a brave man by the people.
