As is normal, the Dragon Knight Race is a massive race using the northern side of the Empire. Sometimes, therefore, it can cause unexpected events. Naturally, it was inspired by the battle of the Dragon Knights. but it was going slowly, without anyone noticing.

"What...? The woods are strangely noisy......?

Just east of Fort Entesia. A local hunter in the woods at the foot of the Carm Mountains sniffs out the forest freaks and clears his ears. He was a hunter of beasts who had been on this path for over 20 years and had often been divided into these woods. Therefore, I was familiar with this forest.

"... The Dragon Knight Race just passed by the dragons... what's so noisy is its impact? I don't know, I think I'm pulling back a little later..."

Naturally, I know he and the Dragon Knight Race exist. He was in the hunt today because the festival was going to run out of meat more than expected, and the owner of a liquor store familiar with the story told him that he was drunk. Then it was not impossible to think that the forest would be noisy even after a little time had passed.

"Well, that's all I got. This year was more of a mix-up than usual. Well, you better get home early."

I only came because I was ordered to go hunting in a big hurry where I was originally drunk. None of my fellow hunters are in the woods today. Even with him, I'm not going to stay long in the woods even though others are drinking. But the lack of alcohol dishes is troubling. That's why I just came. Then it was fortunate to go home early even when thinking about the woods.

"I could take... two birds, one boar... hmm?

He thought the woods were noisy and he would just go home. As he was checking the catch for now, he noticed that further prey had arrived, apparently drawn to the smell of blood, and smiled on his face. What has come is a pretty big bear.

"Huh!"

When he uses his physical abilities as an animal man to fill his distance from the bear in an instant, he fleshes to the bear in an instant with a weapon in his hand as it is, unfolding his sorcery. If it was Earth, if it wasn't artillery, it would be difficult to hunt bears. If there was magic, it would be like this.

"Good. With all this, don't complain"

The hunter, who had no difficulty with the bear, nodded contentedly. Thus, the forest variation remained largely overlooked, and the night grew late.

The next morning. After everyone who attended the dinner party left, Kate was naturally preparing to go to the game. Well, not only Kite, but the other players were the same.

"Good. No problem. Alan, do me a favor today."

Pough, Pough, and Kite looks up at the sky as she strokes Alan. It was the same sunny day today, a great festival day. The time is still around 9: 00 a.m. I still had the next four hours before I left.

Even if Alan's doing well, it's not bad. Thanks to Kate's considerable restraint of the players who came forward in yesterday's battle, Alan never got that tired. Still, it is not in the best condition because there is fatigue due to the fact that 100 kilometers were fully diseased, but adding the second day would have been the best.

"Even today, first runner? Well, I'm not going to make a big deal of it..."

"Ah, there he is. Lord Kite. Excuse me, may I have a moment?

"Hmm? Oh, sure it was Lord Almaty...... what's up?

A voice can be heard from behind to the kite, who was checking the position of the saddle for the last time. Turning to it, it was the woman who led the scouts against the nobles apart from Shea who was behind them. As always, the identity of Kate is a state secret, and only the upper echelons are known. So I guess that's why it's right at the top.

"Well..."

"... ha. All right, I'll bust you a little bit, just give me a minute."

"I'm sorry"

Almaty bows his head with regret as Kite sighs in recognition of what was said to be a snack. The contents sent to Kate were that a slightly stronger demon came out near the Imperial Capital, so could you deal with it?

The military was busy guarding the festival, and it was a security reason that moving heavily in this situation could cause unnecessary anxiety to the audience.

Well, even for Kite, he's the organizer of this festival. It was natural to cooperate, so it was before the game, but I decided to leave. As such, when Kate left the spot to the attendant in a bit of a hurry, he went on a somewhat powerful demonic crusade with personnel given to him by several emperors, Leonhardt.

Kite didn't change the order, but naturally some of them did. Naturally, that's two of the second and third runners from the day before.

That said, this is also normal, but the next course is reversed from the previous day, so Mizuki and Yuri had the goal point as their starting point. This was a story in the midst of that journey, in the airship.

"And so I say."

"Oh, I see. That's what you're saying... Hmm?

To the words spoken by Yuri, Mizuki leans her neck. What were you told about auxiliary magic exclusively for dragons such as < >? Seeing that it was too fast yesterday, Mizuki was inadvertently using her free time to inquire.

By the way, the airship was all traveling in synergy with the boulders, but Yuri was given a specially superior private room because of her hero, so the tone is the same as usual.

"Then why isn't anyone used?

"Oh, that? It's easy. 'Cause dragons don't do much magic, do they?

Upon Mizuki's question, Yuri laughs and continues her commentary. The question of Mitsuki was naturally raised by those who heard of such techniques as < >.

That's what she said, why doesn't anyone use it? It would be convenient to use it. And yet, for some reason, no one is using it. It was natural to wonder. But the answer to that was, of course, certain.

"A dragon... no matter how young or weak, it's still the most powerful demon of the lineage, what is it? The basic specs are quite high. The physical defense ability of a body covered with tough scales, leather, and feathers is natural, as is the magical defense ability. So no matter how hard you try, magic works poorly. Dragon leather can be a raw material for unprocessed but super useful protective equipment, and dragon scales, not to mention useful armor and shield materials. I can give you a weapon with dragon claws, fangs, whatever, as a kind of pretty good weapon, right?

"Right. Still, a meeting is that."

Yuri's inquiry is acknowledged by Mizuki as well. Even now, the instantaneous armor is mainly light equipment made from the leather of the ground dragon on which Sola was once chased - precisely a little magical silver (misrill) in addition to the leather of the ground dragon.

Other than that, if he is mainly lightly equipped, such as Sho, he uses a jacket made from a piece of ground dragon leather. That's because dragon leather protectors are light and tough, but have strong magic resistance. The most appropriate protective equipment for him, too, I would say.

Therefore, it was expected from everyone that he would continue to use protective equipment made of dragon material. Others, if you are a student with a shield, are using a shield made of dragon scales collected at that time.

I can only say that this is because there is no better protective equipment than that at present. The rank of the Land Dragon was about C, and the material commensurate with today's Adventure Department was sufficient. Therefore, I am not using it now, but I still store dragon fangs, nails, etc., in the Adventure Department.

"But I mean, the dragons use it everyday, what is it? This also means that the attack is difficult for the Tenryu and the Grounddragons. So, it's hard for the dragons and us to get our will through. And of course, but it's not like you can ride a love dragon at all times and at all times. < > Either way, it's supposed to be for combat. Injuries can be twelve."

Yuri goes on to tell the truth. < > Sorcery assisted by the dragons was originally developed for combat.

For example, how do we rush through the battlefield at high speeds, which is why < > was developed. What Yuri said was absolutely natural given the context of the times.

'Naturally, but it's not like the same person can ride the same dragon at all times and at all times. Then the dragons refuse most of the magic because they really don't trust the riders. Then, if it's half-baked magic, it's easily deactivated. We need to develop magic so that the dragons know it's safe, so... naturally, this is difficult. We have to do what we can to make people think they're safe. "

"Oh, I see..."

If explained, it certainly made sense. Of course, there are many reasons why the perfect relationship of trust can be built, like Sierra and Kruger, because we have spent a long time together.

Naturally, it is impossible to gain trust from wild animals in an instant. It's with us, even if it's a demon. It's hard to say that even Rui Shu is still perfectly trusted by Leia. At last, with Sierra and her love dragon, Kruger, there is an absolute relationship of trust.

'Of course, but we accept auxiliary magic from everyone because we understand that reason is the safe way to do it, even if instinct is in crisis. It's hard to make a demon of a situation that isn't. And, naturally, demons and people are different. It's only a little bit useful, so it's a magic trick, so...' Course it's hard. '

"That's deep."

When I heard what Yuri had explained, I nodded as Mizuki was impressed. Professional technology. It is only natural that it is difficult in the first place, and because the subject is the subject, a rather powerful force is required. Normally, no, there's nothing even a soldier or adventurer can do.

It makes sense that not even Sierra, one of the leading players in this tournament, can do it. She is not comparable to an adventurer of Rank C as far as strength is concerned, but she is still to that extent. To that extent, even the lowest levels of this system cannot be repaired. That was a creature called a dragon.

'Powerfully speaking, even Killier still can't do it, I guess. Just about the upper tier of Rank C in Killier. Still, I still can't.' Cause that's pretty delicate magic... well, Mizuki's pretty tough too '

"Ah, haha... Delicacy isn't my area..."

To a word from Yuri, Mizuki can only smile bitterly. It can be said that her flavor of great firepower and this field are located in the opposite position. There will be no choice in this.

'Well, if I can, cherry blossoms, maybe... Still, I wonder if I need a little more workout if I can think about sustainability or something. The next point is… maybe, charm. I wonder if she could be next. Sola, well, needless to say, you can't. The power of dragon killing has been offset, so maybe it can't be deployed properly. "

Yuri tells Mizuki her guess with a little worry. Cherry blossoms possess a delicate skill against Mizuki, which has a great firepower flavor. Therefore, technology can be more difficult than anyone else, but unlike Mizuki, the magic holdings are average among the upper levels of the adventure department.

It was not always possible to use it below the stamina-focused solar, about the same level as the charm clothes, slightly above Yuri.

'Well, if you want to learn, I guess I should tell Nadal's old man, We all learned that from him, too. "

"Right. You can't have a greedy woman at all times... I will."

Upon Yuri's advice, Mizuki nods. Just in case, there's nothing wrong with her being a greedy woman. It's simply because of the power of the adventurer, and that's why I'm flattering myself. Thus, this one took some advice and made the move.

If the two of them used the goal point as their starting point, the moon was the starting point for places that had never come before. That's the city of McDawell's neighbor, said to be Carm. There she arrived, looking around with interest.

"Hey, kite. Looks like we can go south from here too... what do we have?

"Oh, south of Carm, huh? Well, naturally, it's heaven. There's a pretty big tunnel in the mountains, and you can travel through it to Fort Entesia. '

"Is there such a thing? Then why bother moving southwest and crossing mountains?

I thought if there was a tunnel, maybe we should just go through there, but, well, that wouldn't be possible. So Kite, who is heading out on a bit of a powerful demon crusade with some military men, points that out. By the way, Kite seems to be able to afford to talk, but in reality he is in battle.

"Are you going to use < > in the tunnel?

"Ah... that sucks, that"

'Wouldn't you?

Kate laughs and agrees with the moonlit answer. Naturally, but in the tunnel. In case < > crashed into the tunnel wall, it couldn't have been horrible and usable. Or it's hard to fight before then.

"Is my Maxwell over there the last fort to guard this tunnel?" That war period. Actually, that tunnel has been seized by the previous demon king's army, hasn't it? When they take it there, they can transport the army from the demonic realm to the Imperial Capital in a straight line. I said, the nearest part of the tunnel is not suitable for positioning large armies. The main point is the main point, but it's difficult to secure food because of the land. You can't put down a great army. "

Kite sighs and speaks from the location conditions. As a matter of course, it can go straight ahead, which means that there will be no major disruption, and we will be able to launch an attack on the Imperial Capital.

By the way, for once, there is also a Fort Entesia before you leave. But the almost perfect collapse of the rebel wars had almost lost its function as a fortress. After the war, the Imperial Capital was established as the capital, and the demons of the time were in full civil strife. It was not thought that the demonic tribe would come together, but that it developed as a city, not a fort. In fact, given the amount of blood of the demonic tribe at the time, it would not have been possible without Tina, daughter of Ixfoss and Justizia, with the technical skills and personality of the protégé, the popularity.

A few loyalists held back north over Carm just in case, but to that extent. I did not think of an organized invasion by the Demons. Therefore, there was no longer enough power in the fort to defend the royal capital.

Besides, if we go beyond the Carm Mountains, there's nothing to block us to the Imperial City later. It was easy to bypass the fort.

When that happened, there was really enough road to transport large armies, and Maxwell, which could be a massive supply base, was the last line of defense.

'Well, still, Will's grandfather managed to get it back... and on the contrary, that was a failure. The previous demon king recaptured the tunnel and completely besieged it, destroying it under total attack, he said. At a very young age, Will said he remembered it very well. Plus, I'm guessing the re-taking of the tunnel was meant to draw us in. "

Kate tells an old story so that she can see some distance. Naturally, but that's such a tunnel. I destroyed it, and you might think, but it was also difficult.

The tunnel was built in the days of the Mars Empire, and it was made of a rather robust material. Moreover, for quite a long time it would have been easy to repair if Tina had acquired almost all of her technology and a little less of Tistenian technical skills as a force.

Simply put, it was like dealing with a little weak Tina. Where they struggle to destroy it, they simply lose the means to attack it, causing no itching to the enemy.

"Hmmm...... so, one way or the other from earlier, it's ringing something, what?

"Ah, I'm out of the Imperial Capital and in battle now"

"Hey! Are you okay?

The moon is greatly surprised by the answers that came back flat. My voice was flat. By the way, is it okay, does it mean it's okay in time for the game, does it mean the fight is okay?

'Oh, it's okay, it's okay. Because it is a demon of about rank A. If you're not going to make it to the worst, choi choi choi with metastasis, make it with'

"That."

I thought that too, the moon disappears all at once. As long as you crusade me, I thought Kite had no problem. Besides, Kite doesn't have a problem with it. Anyway, it's much faster than Yuri. With that in mind, it would be natural.

"Well, we'll be waiting for you."

'Yes, sir. And so disappear.'

So, again, the sound of Don, sounds. Perhaps Kate used some kind of grand moves. On his way home, Kate returned to the game venue, talking to Moon.
