Saving 80,000 Gold in an Another World for Retirement

Three people continued to drive with excitement, and when they thought that it was about time for lunch, they saw a few carriages in front of the merchant.

It seems to be a very small trading company, with three wagons. And there are those who seem to be escorts protecting the carriage, and 17 to 18 men with plain swords that surround it from front and back.

It is a known bandit.

Although it is a bandit that is not so many, there is still a "vulnerable place".

For example, near the border, where even after being pursued by the government, you can quickly escape to another country outside of your jurisdiction.

For example, there are hills where you can grasp prey and other things on the highway from a distance, and the prey is a mountainous area where it is difficult to see ahead.

Yes, it is a place like this.

While attacking, the following large-scale merchandise passes by, and it is unbearable to be assisted by escorts. As a result, the watchman should have seen the situation behind him, but apparently our speed was too high and he had passed by during the raid.

The speed at which cars are running is never fast.

Although it is well-maintained, it is not a paved road, and I have not obtained a license yet, and this car is big. The driving sensation is completely different compared to the driving school car and the light, which is just getting used to.

I don't want to get the title of having the first car accident in the world, and most of all, it's hard to get Sabine and Colette injured. I'm sorry to the Kings and Collette's parents.

That's why it's only about 30-40 km / h, but it's still amazing compared to a carriage. It would be no wonder that the bandits decided that no carriages would be on the scene before finishing their work.

I mean, it ’s not a carriage.

"……What to do?"

I immediately answered Sabine's question.

"Torkan!"

"" That's right! "

Pause the car once and make a continuous transition in an instant.

Sabine and Collette would have seen my figure blurred for a moment. But there is one difference.

Behind the driver's seat, one assault rifle, two submachine guns, and each magazine belt appeared.

All three have handguns on their inner thighs and left armpits for protection. If all the bullets are combined, the number alone is almost three times the number of enemies, but of course there is no single wasted ammunition and there is no such thing as a hundred bullets, and if it is a handgun, the effect is intimidating Low.

While an earthling who knows a pistol, it needs a certain amount of weapons to give a sense of intimidation to a stranger.

We chose a submachine gun instead of an assault rifle because the submachine gun is lighter and smaller and has less recoil.

And I'm not going to kill them. It's enough if you can scatter the ammunition appropriately and show this trouble. If you need to hit, I will.

Everyone wears a magazine belt in a hurry and holds each gun.

He bent the flexible microphone along the ceiling, pulled it toward his mouth, and put his finger on one of several toggle switches on the shift lever.

"Start!"

The site was in a stalemate due to miscalculation by bandits.

Thief is originally weak.

Naturally, they weren't soldiers or mercenaries, but they weren't serious enough to take on ordinary jobs that weren't combat jobs.

At first glance, it may be as good as a normal mercenary, but others are not so strong, except those who have survived in some special circumstances.

So thieves value numbers.

In general, bandits only attack when the number of escorts is less than half of them.

If there is such a difference in the number of people, escorts often surrender without fighting, and even if it becomes a fight, less damage is required. The idea is correct from Lanchester's law.

And this prey is a small one with three carriages, generally with a number of escorts per 4 to 6 people, so embarrassing to call it a trading company.

In fact, the number of mercenaries hired as escorts is six, and the mercenary guild rules that "if the number of enemies is more than twice, surrender is not considered a mission failure", It was a complete pattern.

Despite being a thief, you do not want to risk yourself or your friends' lives if you like. Not only will you die, but you will want to avoid fellowship, if possible, as it will directly affect your future work.

So, this prey, where the difference in my strength is almost three times, was a delicious job that I could easily earn with no human damage. ... That should have been.

However.

"Why there are more than 10 combatants!"

The thief's eyes shouted in despair.

Yes, there were only 11 escorts and 11 fighters guarding the carriages in front of the bandits.

… A fighter attack aircraft.

It is a multi-role aircraft that can also carry out anti-aircraft fighting, unlike an attack aircraft that only carries bombs and torpedoes to the battlefield and drops them.

Yes, the three merchants of the corps were former mercenaries and were able to fight. Not only work as a pilot of an attack aircraft carrying a bomb.

Furthermore, the accompanying shippers were also former mercenaries.

A five-member mercenary team has retired with a small sum of money and opened a small store.

The team leader and the female mercenary, who was the only one, got married, opened a store with the money they saved, and became the owner, and the other three worked together as investors and employees.

The number of people who can take their feet from mercenary employment, who risk themselves every day and sell their lives for money. That means they were good mercenaries.

They couldn't resist putting their business into orbit and ruining them for bandits.

And the juniors hired by them, who had taken care of various things when they were active mercenaries.

No matter how much the fighter or the merchant's and wife's combat strength, from the point of view of bandits, it looks like a full-length merchant without escorts. The chances of being attacked jump up, so it is a great benefit to hire them because they have no job and are hired.

And the difference in the number of fighters is 11 to 18. It is about 1.6 times. I couldn't choose to surrender.

There is no sign of responding to the surrender recommendation, and the merchant side with its weapons in place.

A normal bandit would not win if he tried to fight a mercenary opponent with 1.6 times the number of people straight from the front. Even if lucky, the bandits will lose much of their strength and be destroyed.

However, these bandits were not "ordinary bandits." They are the people who have the circumstance and who have done the work.

So they thought they were stronger than mercenaries. And we have more people.

Nevertheless, withdrawing and escaping as it is is tedious, and funds and food are scarce. It was time to earn enough to get as many as 18 people to eat, drink, and occasionally take turns pretending to be out of town.

If you miss this squadron, you don't know when the next affordable and escorted squadron will arrive.

Even if the attacker's carriage, such as a single-action pedestrian's carriage, is loaded with only small change and daily miscellaneous goods, it would be better if the food cost could be several days at most. At the very least, a small merchant consisting of several carriages, where legitimate merchants carry high-value goods from city to city, will not save any money.

On the other hand, a trading company with a large number of carriages, that is, a large number of escorts, cannot be handed out.

Although there are a lot of escorts, if you think carefully, 11 people are just "two more than half this number."

Only two, many. In addition, some of them seem to be merchants or merchant couples.

Escorts may surrender along the way if they find that we are not only superior in number, but also more capable of fighting than just bandits. If so, the battle may end without much damage.

……Can go!

When the thief of the bandit thought so and tried to order his minions to start an attack, “it” appeared.

!

A horn of a runaway tribe screaming at a loud volume, and what appeared to the thief and the merchants who looked back at the surprise.

An object that looks like a giant monster approaching at high speed, and also looks like a quirky carriage.

However, if it is a carriage, there is no animal that can be moved so fast even if there are no animals to pull.

Everyone peeled his eyes, and while it was hardened without any voice, “It” approached and stopped about 20 meters away.

And a loud voice roared from “It”.

[What hinders my path?

If you don't want to be struck by lightning, immediately throw away your weapons and drop them! ]

Gyaaaaaaaaaaaaa !!

The bandits who heard the voice from the loudspeaker shouted in fear.

Yes, the thieves who fled to die and finally crossed the border and settled there.

It was the remnant of an imperial soldier who had attacked with demons, in which fear and despair were imprinted on his soul by Mitsuha.
