Monster no Goshujin-sama

Four.

When we left Diospiro, we rendezvoused with Lily and Gabella, who waited outside the town, before heading to the western part of Akel, where Mr. Leah's village was located.

On the road, he was accompanied by five elves from the pioneering village, including Mr. Leah.

The elves all lowered their swords on their hips and wore light armor, carrying shields and bows and arrows, with a much more puzzling impression.

The fact that villagers carry weapons is not in itself uncommon in Akel, where there is a strong wind of martial arts.

But just when you're fully armed, you don't see much outside of the military.

I'm guessing you're on guard about the massive breeding of herd green rabbits.

This visit to the town was combined with supplies, and they were also coming by luggage, so our car and two cars, vertical and going down a narrow road with gatagotto.

While on the move, Silan and Kay were at ease with the village elves.

For the most part, the pioneering village of Elves in Akel is said to be kept by one kinship group, one tribe.

In other words, all villagers are related to Mr. Leah, the chieftaincy muscle.

Therefore, Shilang and his blood relatives are also connected to the villagers.

It was also understandable that it would be a little fuss because she became deputy chief in the Knights of the Alliance like that and returned home with brave men.

That's how the Silans interacted with the village elves, while Garbera and Ayama, who could not be seen in front of them, were to have them pulled in the car.

There was some slight anxiety that the elves I didn't know anything about were right around the corner, but about this, Robbia was with the Gerberas and bought me a role to prevent the problem.

"Hey, Robbie. It's dinner."

"... ok, I'll be right there"

On the road with the elves, Robbia was trying to get out of the car, hiding his wings in his back sac only when he needed help.

Even if she had to hide her wings when she had eyes, she wouldn't have to feel cramped if she was with the Gabellas... more importantly, she seemed more comfortable with this because she was also quite familiar with people.

Ever since her face came out of the car when she greeted her, the elves seemed a little suspicious about Gabella's presence not coming out, but there her beauty worked in a good direction.

No. I don't know if I can call this a generally good direction... but in short, she seems to have been recognised by the Elves as' lovers surrounded by brave men '.

It's an evil guess, but it's not entirely a mistake.

That would be a problem if my relationship with the elves was going to be strange, but I decided to leave the misunderstanding intact, especially since that didn't seem to be the case.

By the way, Gabella herself was innocently delighted to learn that she was' treated like a lover who was surrounded '.

When that happened, I didn't feel bad either.

Most of all, even if it doesn't seem that way, there are no disrespectless people who would enter the brave man's car without permission, so maybe I overthought or was worried about this.

In contrast, what was a little difficult was the night watch.

Three people usually do it for me: Lily, Rose and Silan, who don't need to sleep, but that's just unnatural from the eyes of those who don't know what's going on.

So, including the elves, we were to take turns watching.

Also about the surrounding sights, but with the long hours of the night, as before, I could have left it to Siran, but she had no choice but to give up this because she also had to pretend to take turns sleeping like the other elves.

Most importantly, the sight of the night was only what Silan was doing voluntarily to ensure greater safety.

Not necessarily, it's not a problem without it.

We continued our journey, taking great care not to fail the vigilance of the night.

It was on the second day that I felt a change in the mess of air.

I felt the unique air of the tree sea on my skin.

It was the day after that that that we arrived in the pioneering village.

"Oh, Master Silan! You've been home a lot."

"That's what made you a fine knight. When we met before, it was still like this."

"Be feminine. Isn't it time for a man to quit?"

"Master Kay's gone big, too."

Here again, the Silans had been welcomed by the village elves.

The house of the chieftaincy, which governs the village of the elves, produces many knights.

It is the role of the knights who dare to divide into dangerous tree seas in order to protect their country from the threat of monsters.

On behalf of the village, they, with heavy responsibilities, are probably subject to respect from the villagers.

All the words spoken to the Silans were affectionate, respectful and warm.

"Something, sir. I like this kind of thing."

"Right."

I returned my consent to Lily's sentiments.

I remembered the side of Silan at the underground temple one day.

I guess this is what Silan said he wanted to protect with his life at stake.

From my eyes, the village of Elves even seemed like a single family.

And that was then.

"Ah!

A little further away, a loud voice rose.

"Really, he's back!

It was a girl a little younger than Silan who raised her voice.

Looking back, Silan circles his eyes.

"Helena."

"You, Silan! Why are you back?!?

A girl called Helena came here, shaking her thickly cut blonde hair.

"Who?

"My name is Helena, Aunt Leah's granddaughter."

Syran answered me when I asked.

"My childhood friend."

"No, I'm not!

Helena bit Cyran, who went on.

"I'm saying."

"I am meant to be a friend..."

Laughing troubled, Siran turned to Helena.

"Long time no see, Helena. Has it been five years? How have you been?

"You're set to be fine! Because I will be a knight."

The seemingly indulgent glance gathered over Silan's eyelid.

I also opened my mouth for a moment when I became a carefree face.

"You're the one, what, those eyelids!

"There's a lot going on."

It's a bitter silane, but it doesn't look like it's moving.

I guess it's a relationship you two can't care about.

At the same time, apparently Helena is burning a sense of confrontation on Silan.

Momentum that seemed to make a numbing noise, he stuck his index finger out.

"I can keep a clear face, because now is the time. Give it a try, Silan! barking face with my sword...... ahhh!?

"Fool. What do you do in front of your guests"

On the head of the biting girl, fist bones were dropped.

"Not at all. A little more calm, isn't it?"

Put the nogging girl down and the person who dropped his fist bone on her turned this way.

The other elves were hard to think of as just villagers, but among them he jumped through and was a tough man.

"Welcome aboard, Takahiro, Makoto. My name is Melvin. He's the head of this village."

Village chief. I mean, it's Mr. Leah's husband.

The figure of Mr. Leah, who went to get him, was also next to him.

Silan tells me that Mr. Melvin is a very good warrior, although he cannot make a contract with the Spirit.

It was as if the ancient wounds that deeply dictated the cheeks told the story of previous battles to protect the village.

"There is no word of gratitude today that you have come to such a despicable place with our peril in your ear. For the brave to visit, it is a hiccups place, but we would like to offer our utmost hospitality."

"Oh, I don't mind that. This way, for a short time, but thank you for your help."

Connected, I finished my greeting with Mr. Melvin.

... en route, "Yu, brave man!? In front of the brave, I, what a crude phase...!" I had a daughter who was turning blue, but I'm going to ask Silan to follow me later.

After that, would it be easier to say on top of each other that there is no need for hospitality after degrees?

Having finished my greeting with that in mind, I was once led out of the spot by an empty house who had asked Mr. Leah to accommodate me.

So I break up with everyone.

Only Lily and Silan accompanied him to the village chief's house.

"I used to take care of this village at an early age for about six months. That's when you met Helena."

On the road, I heard an old story from Silan in the village.

"Helena used to have me deal with sword archery. I miss you."

"When you were a child of Silan. What was it like?

"...... hmm. That's right. It's about me, so I can't be clear, but in retrospect, I might have looked a little like Kay right now"

While we were talking about that, we got to our destination.

So after they behaved for dinner, they decided to hold a meeting with the village faces, including the village chief and his wife, about the crusade of the herd green rabbit.

"So, uncle. What is the situation?"

"To be honest, it's pretty tough. Even the younger ones were talking about whether they could be evacuated to the neighbouring villages."

"So much..."

"I didn't mean to abandon the village, but I didn't even think I could protect it. If we were half a month late, there might not have been this village."

Naturally, but not all other villages can afford it.

He said he was prepared to die protecting the village until the end, except for the number of people he could just accept.

Spectacular, but this is the reality of the elves living in the sea of trees.

The situation is considerably more chopped than I was asking Mr. Leah.

"Well, we need to get moving soon."

The decision starts tomorrow.

It was to take a few days.

From the village, it is said that there will be about ten manpower.

This was a little unexpected for me.

"Hey, Silan. Can't we just do this?

What I feared was the protection of the village while I was away.

Pulling a fightable villager into a crusade means less defensive combat while away, and this cannot be said to be a very favorable condition.

The herd is a monster on the surface of the tree sea.

If any of them are weak enough, we can defeat them alone.

So I suggested we head for the crusade on our own, but Silan shook his head sideways.

"No. They are the strength we need"

"What do you mean?

"Big bred monsters don't just have to hunt in the dark clouds."

Silan gave me an explanation for leaning my neck.

"If there are too many monsters living in one region, the hustle and bustle of fighting the monsters encountered risks attracting another. Next to next, if the processing speed stops catching up, then the debt just swells like a rolling snowball anymore"

"You mean you need to be careful not to fall into those conditions"

"Speaking of which, senior. Shortly after we moved into this world, something similar happened."

Kato, who was sitting nearby Rose for an ops meeting, has spoken as I recall.

"You know, when I started exploring the woods, more and more monsters appeared, and even with dozens of cheats, I couldn't support them."

"Oh. That was back when there wasn't an expedition yet. I've heard of it too. Did you say that Kojiro Nakatsuki, who is now the leader of the expedition, took command and managed to bring it back together?"

The incident, which was almost wiped out shortly after Ayama's transfer, will also lead to the creation of the expedition, but for the record.

The important thing is that the monsters that flock can be an insurmountable threat to even have cheats at times.

So, what do we do?

As everyone's gaze gathered, Silan stood his finger to draw attention.

"There are two ways to do this. One is to hit with so many large armies that there is no problem with enemies appearing one after the other. While the avant-garde holds down the enemy, the rear guard releases an arrow or magic to crush it. In short, it's a force push, but it's certain."

"If you have a lot of enemies to deal with, you need to increase your processing power."

Silan nodded back at my confirmation.

"That's the thing. I just can't use this one this time."

"I guess."

This method can produce definitive results only when as many troops as are needed are ready.

Halfway up the head count, it rather stood out poorly and speeded up the gathering of enemies, which could end up speeding up doom.

Even if the elves go together, there are only ten of us there.

I didn't have enough heads overwhelmingly.

In fact, Akel's army and the Knights will also be unable to move, even if they know what's going on, because it is difficult at present to align that necessary force.

"So here's the second strategy."

Silan put up a second finger.

"We will aim for 'detachment' that is leaving the herd and scrape the group to peel. The important thing is to quickly defeat the 'detachment' and leave before the body of the herd realizes it"

"Not to be noticed by the herd...... you mean a way you need to be more elite than head count?

"Yes. In this case, rather if the number increases, you will be unable to move in secret. Digging the nest holes and living in groups, the herd leaves the herd in units of a few when feeding, so it carries out its operations with only a small number of elite forces capable of destroying them instantly and with minimal cover to prepare for leaks, etc."

"A few elite wars?... can we do that?

"With elf cover, we think it's enough"

Hmm, I snapped my nose.

I guess I'm confident in this standpoint when Silan says this out.

I decided to trust him, and I asked him something else.

"You don't have to step into the breeding grounds of herds of green rabbits. Sounds like a long time to me."

"Yes, but let's move on here with safety first. The herd builds nests over a wide area, so you will be able to reduce the number slightly from the outer edge."

"Is that a long thing to do?

"We don't need to exterminate all the mass-produced herd ravens. It's the work of the Knights and the Army."

To my doubts, Silan shook his head to the side.

"Fortunately, herd greens don't have that much scope for action. It will be possible to outweigh the immediate crisis as long as the herds near the village are excluded. If you even buy time, the Knights and Army, who cleaned up the Red Jade Bear thing, will also begin to move. On the contrary, we must not do anything that goes in without thought in search of efficiency. It is only prudence that is required."

The Elves of Pioneering Village looked a little confused by this word of Silan.

I suppose we expected the situation to improve more dramatically when we brave men showed up.

It must have felt like I was being too cautious about anything.

But that's where the village chief and his wife opened their mouths.

"Come on, Silan. We obey you. As for the monster crusade, you would know the best about the Allied Knights, who fought with their troops at Fort Chile."

"Right. Where we pinched our mouths at amateur judgment, there would be no good."

Their endorsement, a leading figure in the village, made it an air of goodbye.

It was a good time to prevent confusion from turning into dissatisfaction.

"Well. Is this all right with you too, Takahiro?

Mr. Leah also asked me - or "The Brave" - to confirm.

There's nothing like it around here.

Her intentions were read, so she nodded immediately.

"There is nothing different about me. You can't go wrong with Silan's suggestion."

"Thank you"

grinned, and Silan continued.

"Rest assured. This is also the strategy used by the brave men to attack the 'Coma Forest'."

"Really?

"Yes. 'Coma Forest' may also carry many monsters among the limited lands. Most importantly, in that case, the number of monsters that live will be different digits, and the speed of progression will be commensurate with that, as the number of monsters that the brave man can destroy at once will be different… the same reason. One of the reasons why knights, including the Cathedral Knights, must accompany the brave."

"I see."

I asked after returning a satisfactory nod to the explanation so far.

"So, what exactly are we going to do?

"First, look for the 'detached' herd of green rabbits away from the herd. enemies needed for this, but leave this to my Spirit"

Silan, who answered, looked at Lily.

You can't put it in your mouth on this occasion, but it would also mean that you rely on Lily's sense of smell.

With all due respect, Lily returned the wink.

"And then... my aunt can handle the Spirit, so I'm looking to get her to work with me"

"Oh. I got it."

"What shall I do?

Mr. Melvin asks.

"My uncle protects the village. There's nothing we can do about it when we run out of places to go."

"Mmm. I don't know what else to do"

There's no way the village chief and his wife are both leaving the village.

Leah, who slapped her husband, Mr. Melvin, on his shoulder, turned his gaze to the village elves.

"If that's all right with us... what should we do with the villagers who participate in the operation? They asked me to sort out who I was good at bows, so I gathered them."

"They will have it intercepted when another enemy has gathered from around them. It will mean backpacking reserve power, but it is an important help in case of need. Don't get distracted, please."

"It's a village crisis. There's no such thing as distraction."

When Mr. Leah undertook, the village elves also tightened their expressions.

The fate of the village depends on this operation, so let's get tempered.

Siran, who looked at them so reluctantly, opened his mouth.

"The rest is the main force, isn't it? This is for those who are purely combative."

My gaze turned this way.

"Lord Lily, Lord Rose, and Lord Takahiro. Can you do me a favor?

"... me?

Here, I was a little surprised because I didn't think my name would come up.

"Yes, I wish I could come forward... because my injury at Fort Chile has not yet healed"

That's how Silan was explaining to the elves.

In fact, it's because of the demi-rich influences you've had us talk about before.

Silan said that in an unbalanced body, there is a loss of fighting ability and anxiety about a series of fights.

She also had a talk ahead of time about this operation by moving in the direction of avoiding as direct a fight as possible.

Though I didn't expect a white feather arrow to stand on me there.

I was wondering if I'd be turned back.

Does this mean that you want me, the brave man, to step forward to boost the morale of the elves?

The actual battle can be snorted if you want Lily and Rose to take care of it.

You read my thoughts thinking about that, Silan shook his head sideways with a smile.

"Lord Takahiro is strong. Not many fierce men can deal with as many as seven dragons."

"That's..."

... because of the help of Asalina and Salvia, in addition to the unexpected thanks to Gabella.

And I can't even tell you, I'm a mouthcage.

Seven dragons... and I heard the whispers of the village elves.

I missed the opportunity to clarify.

I sent a gaze of protest, but Silan just smiled back.

"Low self-esteem is a bad thing about Lord Takahiro."

"That being said... this would also be a responsible and critical role in this operation, wouldn't it?

"Yes, so I think Takahiro is a good character."

Silan's smile didn't shake.

"Be confident. I can be you."

"Silan......"

You can't back off, even if they say so.

I turned my belly, and I nodded.

"Okay. Let's take it."
