Spirit Growers Travel Around the World - Get Rare Materials and Spirits Grow Rapidly!? ~

At a time when measures against spirit-eating were being taken in the King's capital of the Kingdom of Zanand, there was a group of about a hundred people proceeding from the foot of Mount Kaine towards the summit of the mountain.

The group is the Knights of the Kingdom of Xanand.

Though about a hundred people, it would take time if we were to travel in a group.

For this reason, we decided to base ourselves with a certain number of people before deciding on a specific operation, and to launch an attack as it were if we didn't have enough people to wait for an increase.

By the way, the knights are wearing heavy gear that chatters and sounds, but still make sure the target spirit-eater doesn't move before acting.

This time he is a spirit-eater, but especially when dealing with demons, the sound of a knight's heavy equipment can be a weakness in itself.

As a result, a thorough preliminary investigation into the sound has been carried out.

About an hour from the foot of the mountain, the crusaders had stopped walking.

This will be the temporary base.

The crusaders who have arrived at the temporary base have each set up tents as directed by their superiors or have appeared in the surrounding investigations.

Of course the most important of these is whether or not there is any change in the spirit-eating being crusaded.

The advance party has been on the lookout ever since the Spirit Eater was discovered, but the Knights' entry has made this a situation that requires more attention.

As many knights moved around, in one of the biggest tents ever built, the captain of this crusade had a conversation with a certain magic item in his hand.

The magic artifact is a communication artifact that allows you to talk to distant people, and the opponent is the headquarters of the Knights in the King's Capital.

"- Ha. So, reinforcements...... Ha. Yes, sir."

The sight of the deputy and the department captains is gathered on the captain who bows his head toward the invisible opponent.

The demonic props the captain is using right now are demonic props to speak one-on-one, so he has not heard the other side of the spectrum to those around him.

I don't know what conversation is going on with those around me, but I can still deduce some from the captain's expression.

"- No reinforcements, is there?"

I waited for the captain to finish the communication and asked the deputy to confirm.

"Oh. First of all, I decided to do a check to see if the information was correct rather than a hit…"

"And, okay?

"They say that type of spirit-eating doesn't move until it sucks away the power of the ground vein and is fully established as an individual. Perhaps the status quo is in the midst of accumulating power. If this one attacks and moves, it doesn't seem to be very strong."

"I see."

The deputy also nodded with a convincing look at the conclusions drawn from past experience.

Of course, the spirit-eating that is emerging this time doesn't necessarily make the exact same move.

Because we can't all of a sudden send all the knights to the scene, so we've come to the conclusion that we're going to hit it off first as it stands.

In the first place, it weighs far more than a normal demonic crusade at the time it's putting out a knight named Hundred.

The first captain to hear the story was enough to wonder if we had to be that vigilant.

Anyway, it was decided that there would be no reinforcements, so we have to deal with them with the knights who are here now.

To this end, too, it is necessary first of all to ensure that the temporary base currently being created is well completed.

In accordance with that conclusion, the heads of the units were scattered throughout to give instructions to their respective units.

"-... what do you mean?

The crusader captain had frowned upon receiving a report from his liaison.

Troops currently selected from among the crusaders were making their first hit.

Considering it would be a long battle, I decided to hit six troops each on a spirit-eater, but one of them attacked.

The report came to the captain at that time, but the result was like eating a shoulder watermark.

"Normal swords and spears, of course, do not go through magical attacks at all, either? Have you ever heard anything like this?

The lieutenant, questioned by the captain, thought for a while before shaking his head to the left and right.

"No. You've never heard of it. Just..."

"Is there something there?

"While you're sucking power from the ground vein, won't the same state continue?

".......................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................

The captain nodded in agreement with the deputy's guess.

The fact that weapons and magical attacks do not pass means that there is nothing for the knights to do.

At least we have to do something to make sure the attack goes through.

If you have no idea how to deal with it, you can't even crusade it.

Incidentally, the fact that an attack doesn't go through means that all attacks, whether they're cut with a sword, poked with a spear, or enchanted, will go bare as if they weren't on the spot.

"- Ask the men in the squad if they have any means, and contact HQ."

"I was wondering if I had to."

So far, there's nothing we can do with the information and tools that the squad has.

Besides, I'm also concerned that despite doing so much, the subject's spirit-eating hasn't moved at all.

Having decided earlier that it would be difficult to deal with it with his own knowledge and common sense, the captain decided to throw the information he had obtained this time to the headquarters where he was providing support in the rear and wait for the results.

On the other hand.

Those at headquarters who received information from the crusader captain were to run around collecting information with their necks equally tilted.

However, the use of such crowds to gather information does not give rise to useful information that would be a stepping stone to the attack.

It's been a few hours since HQ got information from the ground, but it's already dark outside, making it impossible to crusade for the first day.

Still, in a castle with headquarters, a lot of people are moving around to get information there.

- It's like grabbing a cloud.

"Absolutely."

Having received reports from crusaders and intelligence moving around the castle, David and Andre said so in a sigh.

We found the cause of the corner anomaly, but we can't crusade the opponent, so we can't even attack.

Moreover, we know that this spirit-eater will cause tremendous damage to the surroundings if it sucks the power of the ground vein and begins to move with sufficient force.

We do not know how long the current state of motionlessness will last, but it is an issue that we can never leave alone.

It can never be said that time passes without effective measures being found.

As a result, Davide concluded that:

"I have no choice. With the help of Lord Brave."

"Do you wish to appear?

"If necessary, though. Well, just asking if there's any wisdom first. I have a proven track record of finding spirit-eaters, so it wouldn't be weird knowing how to do something."

"It is, indeed"

Andre nodded agreeably to David's conclusions.

In the end, I was to take the hand of a brave man (Philomena), but that in itself is not something I would be particularly ashamed of.

The most important thing for the king is to minimize the damage that goes into the country.

Fully aware of that, David immediately began making arrangements to get in touch with the Philomenas.
