Monster no Goshujin-sama

25.

Your husband's magical intervention allowed us to outperform dangerous occasions as well.

But that doesn't make it any easier.

We remained the same and had to continue to flee from the main unit of the Borderline Belgian Army.

"... the wounded are the problem"

I just took a short little pause, Mr. Silan said in a tired voice.

After the raid we were taken time to make allowance for the wounded.

Also, traveling with injuries is painful. The speed was really falling.

Well, that wasn't the only problem.

"... well, it's worse to be attacked right away."

Robbie, bandaged all over his body, said blushing.

She's right, earlier tracking units have been attacking us many times since then.

Of course, we had this one, so we could fight it right this time.

So far, he has succeeded in withdrawing his enemies without any further casualties to the elves.

On the other hand, however, it had not been possible to impose great damage on the enemy.

Perhaps the Borderline Bell Army, apart from the slow-moving main unit to be a large army, formed an elite tracking unit.

Thank you. There were also signs that you were with the help of the Cathedral Knights.

In the meantime, the tracking unit had narrowed its aim to the elves and never forced them.

Due to the large number of elves targeted, it was relatively easy to attack from a distance, and the tracking unit never packed the distance and repeated almost harassing attacks.

So when this one tried to strike back, another unit approached him from another direction, threatening the elves.

"Damn, depressing"

I scratched my redhead with disappointment and Robbie cursed and complained.

"Give me that from the front and I'll smash you!

"Ku..."

I snapped my nose as I gave up.

Gabella shook her head loose.

"I guess the enemy is moving so it doesn't"

He just looked fed up.

This one wears out intensely, having to be on constant alert for enemies, while they attack at the right time over there.

Even Gabella was at times in an unfamiliar battle to protect a large number of people, and was a little bit in the midst of an obstinate attack that lasted more than a day.

The elves are not the ratio.

"... without a doubt, the enemy's purpose will remain intact"

Berta roared.

"The arrival at 'The Fog's Boundary' has been delayed for nearly half a day now. It's not strange that by the end of the day they'll be chased away. If you get chased, you'll end up swallowed up just like that."

It's a reality I don't want to admit, but I couldn't deny it.

If you are driven by the main unit of the Borderline Lord's Army, it will be impossible for the Elves and your husband to protect you.

I know that, so everyone has an excellent expression.

It didn't have a very good vibe.

Having grasped these circumstances, I dared raise my voice.

"... Anyway, now we all just have to work together"

Take the gathering gaze.

"Until the range of 'The Fog's Boundary' is just a few moments away. If we cut through here, we'll figure it out."

If the depressed stick their faces against each other, it will get darker and darker.

Then you may not be able to do what you can.

It's important to look at reality, but we have to look at the light in the future.

As your husband has done.

Come on, of all the people we're discussing, I was the only one who had no connection with fatigue.

Damage in battle can also be handled sequentially by replacing parts.

I thought I needed to encourage everyone, myself without physical strain and still able to afford it.

"Let's figure out what we're going to do."

"Right."

You understood my intentions, Mr. Silan came into the flow of the story.

"If this happens, I have no choice. Let's go all at once without a break from here."

I was a little surprised by the suggestion from Mr Silan.

"All at once, is it?

"Yeah. If you just need to get to the 'Fog Boundary', you should have everyone's health too. Whatever we are, everyone in the village will run out of strength. But there's nothing you can do if you get chased away, even where you were left with your strength"

"... I see"

If you gave me an explanation, I would have thought Mr. Silan had a point.

It's not like there's nothing wrong with that.

"But, Mr. Silan. When you arrive at the 'Misty Boundary', aren't the elves so exhausted that they can barely even travel?"

I asked.

"Even if we reach the 'Fog Boundary', which we are bringing near the boundaries, I think we will end up being chased down"

"Right. There will be a good chance."

Mr. Silan did not deny my concern.

"But if the place is' The Fog Boundary ', this one can take the lead."

"Whew!"

Gabella raised her voice.

"Does that mean we fight back?

The light was shining on the faint expression just now.

"Yes. I was wondering if there would be a better chance of winning in 'The Fog Boundary' if they were going to chase me anyway"

"Hmm. I see. That's not bad. Not bad, dude."

Gabella smiled invincibly.

I guess there's a build-up of depression.

He seemed to welcome it to be a battle.

I also thought a little and was convinced.

"... If you are indeed in the 'Misty Boundary', it will be difficult for the troops you are tracking to attack from as far away as you are right now. Are you saying that we don't have enough people to protect the elves? It's risky, but if you think you're going to be swallowed up by the big army like this, you have a chance."

In the end, I'm just putting off being chased, but in this case, that postponement makes sense.

"Are you going to rely on Robbia, who can move freely in the 'Misty Boundary' then?"

"That's what happens."

When me and Mr. Silan turned their gaze, Robbie pulled his lips together.

"...... hmm. If I were you, I'd know what's in The Misty Boundary."

I have had Mr. Cass take me to the Dragon Abyss before, but at that time, I asked her to guide me through the dark fog with her sensory reliance.

Dragon-only, but similar to the magic of your husband's "Misty Inn", "Misty Boundary" had similar effects.

"At that time, let me count on you"

"... ok"

Robbie snarled at the back of his throat.

The war seemed to be enough.

Robbia is not the only one.

Guys, the expression was turning into something bright and powerful.

That's all that worked for the word counterattack.

"Except"

After checking on all those people, Mr. Silan continued.

"If we get this far, our enemies should be aware of our intentions. Even if you don't know that we can move freely within the 'Fog Boundary', you will recognize that it would be troublesome if you were escaped. More jamming is expected than ever. Tighten your mind."

It was a word that touched on the severity of the situation ahead, but no one was discouraged.

"Okay. Let's make sure we protect everyone!

"... it doesn't change what you do. Instead, if you actively obstruct me, the enemy may also have a gap."

"Hmm. It's a hassle because I'm doing it right from afar. If you step in badly, I'll show you."

"Kuh!

If Gabella held her fist, Berta expressed her opinion calmly, Robbia exhaled pneumonia, and the refrain snorted high.

Enough fighting.

This would also allow you to do what you need to do.

Once again, I was in the mood.

Then after a brief meeting, each headed for his job.

Shortly before that, Mr. Silan called.

"Lord Rose. Thank you."

"What are you talking about"

Mr. Silan came to me with his legs together.

"In the words of Lord Rose, the air has changed. Thanks to you, I managed to regain my morale."

"I didn't do much."

I let him shake it small.

"Put everyone together, take care of their feelings, and set policies. Those things are what your husband, sister Lily, and genuine vegetables have done so far. But we're the only ones here now that your masters can't move, we have to do something about it. What I do is just an awkward imitation of your masters"

Basically, I can only do melee fights, as things stand, there's not much I can do.

I was rather sorry that I could only do this.

However, Mr. Shiran waved for the first time.

"Even if that's an imitation, it doesn't make Lord Rose worthless for what he's done. In fact, I think it's a big deal. In the first place, only Lord Rose could imitate Takahiro, Lili, and Honeysuckle."

"Is that so? I'm glad to hear that."

It's Lord Rose's business.

Mr. Shiran smiled at me without realizing it.

He had a tired face but a strong grin.

That's the only way this group would be discrete in no time without her.

It would have been nice if it had helped her to protect her husband.

"Let's try harder for a little while"

"Yes."

I nodded strongly.

The unconscious forest stretching across the border of the northern region of Akel and the 'fog junction' covering its surroundings.

When we visited the Dragon Abyss with Robbia before, we travelled northward through the central part of Akel, but this time travelling as far as possible through the western sea of trees in order to obstruct the movement of the enemy's great army.

It's been a long time since I left.

The elves are accumulating fatigue.

Skinny kids with no strength, some of them were already unable to walk, put them in their luggage and Garbera was pulling.

It's time to get to the fog line.

So far, there have been no raids.

That, moreover, was increasing tension.

"With the fog junction in place, there must be no hand that hasn't raided."

If we can keep attacking from afar, we will have to hold our feet.

If we get this far, we should try to stay as long as our strength lasts, without thinking about what's ahead.

Yet......

"How can there be no attack?"

"Maybe you're waiting for me to go"

Mr. Silan, who was walking next door, held his mouth.

I can give directions to the elves. She had her eyes around her in about a line.

The first half of the group is protected by Robbia and Berta, and the other half by Garbera and Ayama.

Not suited to defending the group in the capacity it possesses, I was aiding Mr. Silan while protecting the car your husband was riding.

"With no raids so far, we may even be assembling in simple positions. Then it would be better to wait as close as possible to the 'Fog Boundary' to get ready."

"I see."

"Or it could be that you're setting a trap"

"Is it a trap? Berta is protecting me at the beginning, so I'm sure you'll notice if there's a trap, but for once, it sounds like you'd better call me."

"Right. Can you please"

I left Mr. Silan to tell Berta my earlier story.

Try to drag your feet through the walking elves and go forward.

"What's up, doll"

"This is a message from Mr. Silan."

Tell Berta what you noticed earlier.

When I finished listening, Berta rang her nose.

"... Hmm. Okay. Let's be careful."

Berta glanced at the exhausted elves once before turning the wolf's face this way.

"You're a little impatient. If we go through this forest, is it already 'The Fog Boundary'?

"Yes. That's what I hear. Where the forest is cut off, it should be a wetland where the 'fog junction' spreads"

"... Hmm. When you think about it, it's probably just before you leave the tree sea that raids are most likely."

"Why not?"

"Fatigue will reach its maximum and distract you just before your destination. There's no hand in not missing that. Hmm. Well, the wind's not bad. You'd notice if you lay down your soldiers."

"Please"

And when I had finished the word, I returned unto Mr. Silan.

"I will also speak to the Gabellas."

Thus, many times I came and went a line.

At the same time, check to see if there are any elves that Mr. Silan can't see right.

Whatever the situation, prepare to do something about it.

Time goes by.

Move on.

There are no raids.

After all, is it an ambush?

A stingy amount of time passes. And -.

"Oh!"

cheered in front of the group.

"We're leaving the woods!

Apparently, I would have liked to have gotten to the cutting edge of the forest.

We're at our destination, that is.

If there's an attack, this is the right time.

But the warning from Berta, who was supposed to be maximizing his vigilance, didn't go up.

"... no raids, no ambushes," he said?

A confused voice leaked.

Would there be such a stupid thing?

There can't be any better reason not to launch an attack than there is a 'fog junction' here.

I don't think so, but the facts remain the same.

The leading elves went through the woods more and more.

Is it that it was too much of our thinking?

There is no raid, nothing like screaming.

It was something quiet.

Quiet......

- Soon, the cheer stopped.

From the elves out of the woods, the voice of joy is disappearing.

Something was wrong.

"What...?

I noticed, I quickened my legs.

Shortly after leaving the woods, the elves were holding their legs.

I ran right after him.

It was the wetlands that had been here before, as planned, that were ahead of us out of the woods.

I still don't see the tracking unit.

There are no arrows flying in, or signs of a magical attack.

There is no robust position or kind of trap waiting for us.

Nothing.

However, there was a wetland area with loose hills - and that was the anomaly.

"What's wrong with 'The Fog Boundary'?

Robbie groaned in disquiet.

Yes, there was no white mist anywhere that could have blocked my vision, which was supposed to be ahead of me through the woods.

Looking far away, there is fog to such an extent that it blurs your vision with thinness.

But this is not what we know as the 'Fog Boundary'.

It won't help you hide from the eyes of your enemies.

No, more than that, it's this anomaly right now.

"There are remnants. I don't mean somewhere else. This is definitely the 'Misty Boundary'..."

Robbie dropped his hips.

As it looked, he seemed like a helpless child.

"What... was there? Really, it's just the wreckage... I still have a little bit of a feeling, but then..."

The feisty expression had faded pitifully.

"Lo, Robbia......"

I don't know what a voice you spoke of.

I don't know anything.

Maybe what's going on, what do we do now?

That's when.

Robbie snapped small.

"... this feeling"

My eyes opened full.

The next moment I wondered what was going on, Robbie ran out.

"Robbie! Wait!

No stopping voices will be heard.

Robbie's appearance quickly became smaller.

"I'll bring you back! I'll take care of this!

You can't just leave it like this.

For once, even though there are no signs of enemies nearby, it's not a good idea for the Gabellas to leave beside the elves.

At the judgment of the mighty, I rushed out.

Her legs are faster than Robbia's, but she's hurt.

Barely, I could chase him.

"Wait! Robbia!"

I speak many times, but it doesn't look like it reached my ear.

"... cum!

Anyway, I just have to go after him now.

After a while, Robbia, running ahead, raised her voice.

"There he is!

At the end of that gaze, I saw a person who fell into depression.

It was a woman. On wet ground, with long hair spread.

The color of the hair is red.

The mono clothes, similar to Robbia's, were only hooked to the shoulders and were still black stained on the rags with dry blood.

"Cass!"

Robbie, who rushed over, shouted like a scream and held the woman up.

"... Mr. Cass?

Surprised that I had an unexpected name, I chased him too.

Indeed, it was Mr. Cass, one of Robbia's sisters, who had fallen.

He was so badly injured that his clothes got wet with blood.

I guess the only reason my clothes are only because I fought to look like a dragon.

I could not help but be confused.

Mr. Cass should have lived hidden in the dragon abyss, deep in "The Misty Boundary".

Yet how is it falling down here?

"Cass! Cass!

Robbia called out in a sad voice.

I guess I noticed that voice.

"Robbia......?

Mr. Cass' eyelids, which were closed, trembled and slowly lifted.

The eyes reflected the appearance of her sister, who distorted her face.

"... oh. Really, it's you. Good for you, Robbia. See you again."

A trembling hand was lifted, stroking Robbia's cheek to make sure.

Robbie shook his hand back and asked him to shrug.

"Hey, Cass. What is this injury? What the hell happened...!

"Right. I need to tell you something."

The answering voice was full of sorrow.

It sounded like mourning something I would never return to.

"The inside of us has been raided."
