"I'm back."

"Oh, that bomb was amazing."

A few moments after the second attack by the Harpy bombers, many refugees - no, Liberation Army troops - returned with the Liberation Nationals. A lot of people are painted with blood and mud, and it looks pretty powerful. However, as far as the expression is concerned, morale seems to be high.

Fronte's waiting group, Harpy, is tracking down the destroyed enemy forces, and the Pilnas, who have returned one step ahead, have their feathers rested. Sir Leonard and Schmel were covered in blood, but all returned blood, apparently not a single wound.

"This time, Koske helped me many times with these fangs."

Ser Leonard smiles in an incredible bloody outfit. Yeah, laughing in that outfit makes me feel like a bloodthirsty lion.

The two swords that Sir Leonard is lowering on his waist are the Mythrill swords that I made when Lord Leonard asked me to. Sir Leonard chose a simple straight sword type, a phrase worried about what kind of sword he would use. The pair of swords were named "double teeth", which was the same as his alias, and he carried them with him as if he had not let go since handing them over.

"That's good. Why don't you clean yourself up?

That's right. It would be rude to stand in front of Her Highness with blood on. "

"Shhhhhhh. Koske, please prepare some delicious rice.

I nodded honestly, and the two bloodstained men walked towards the water. If you drop it off, the Cubs will show up again.

"I'm tired. Are you hurt?

"It's okay. I was cured with the potion I was given."

Without a crossbow and a hand-thrown bullet, it would have been dangerous.

"I feel like I'm back alive because of the weapons and tools that Koske made me."

The former Blutbad adventurer Indi nods many times in the words of Warg, a former Blutbad guard. These three do not appear to be as dirty as Sir Leonard or Schmel. I asked why.

"After they attacked with a hand-thrown bullet, they threw themselves into the cavalry..."

"If you imitate me like that, I won't have enough lives."

"I admire you as a warrior....."

Cubies, Indians, and Wargs each smile bitterly. You broke into it yourself... a duel protagonist or something?

"So, what was the battlefield like?

Take the tables and chairs out of the inventory, throw water and burgers at the three of them, and ask them what the actual battlefield was like. Feedback is important.

"Ngu... haah! Well, where do we start?"

"From where the Holy King's Army caught you?

"No, I think it's better to start with the raid on the mine."

I see. The first unit and the second unit unleashed a pioneering village. "

Takumi Village, which was liberated by the 1st and 2nd Units, was located close to the rock salt mine. It seems that the arrival of the replacement personnel of the mine guard coincided with the arrival of many soldiers of the Holy King's Army.

Wait for the night to silently eliminate the sentry with a crossbow and assault the resting Holy King's Army. Ser Leonard and Schmel played a big role in defeating the Holy King's Army in an instant.

"The replacement was also transporting supplies for the security forces stationed in the rock salt mine. I thought this was a chance."

Sir Leonard thought he could manage to take King Merinard's people working in the rock salt mine to the great wilderness of Omit with a carriage and a lot of supplies. He contacted the people of the pioneering village and confirmed the status of the rock salt mine.

When I heard the story, some people from Takumi village had already been sent to the rock salt mine, and the soldiers of the Holy King's Army had told me that the working environment was quite harsh, that some workers were dead in a week, that if they were sent there, it would be over, and that if they didn't want to be sent, they could work obediently.

The survival of the Holy King's Army was also questioned to confirm the veracity, and the villagers confirmed that what they were saying was true. What happened to the surviving Holy King soldiers after the interrogation? They left it to the villagers to dispose of it. Yes, sir.

You don't have to tell me what happened, do you? This is what I experienced right after I got to the elves. They didn't seem to have a master to stop them.

I don't know when the next operation will take place after this liberation operation. Sir Leonard hastily decided to gather other squads to carry out an operation to liberate the rock salt mine, saying that he could not leave behind the workers who would die many times a week.

Now was the best chance for the Holy King's Army not to know the Liberation Army's tricks. The troops assembled advanced to the rock salt mine and raided it waiting for the night. Split into two rough but sturdy bulkheads made of logs, push from the left and right of the bulkhead to silently control the bulkhead. Next, clear the outposts in the rock salt mine using the same technique and raid the barracks.

The raid itself ended quickly and smoothly, but that was the problem. Among the people working in the rock salt mine, there were quite a few injured and sick people who were too weak to walk properly.

They were left unattended in the middle of the day without proper allowances, and it was difficult to keep them moving.

But the potions I had the Liberation Army hold were useful. Just in case, I let each person have all kinds of potions one by one. This was initially not well received by the Liberation Army. The potion in the glass bottle was heavy and required a well-packed potion bag to prevent it from breaking during transport.

But me and Ira pushed off the Liberation Army's opposition and let everyone have their potion bags. I don't know what Isla thinks, but I thought the presence or absence of drugs would significantly improve survivability from a survivor's point of view.

As a result, the medicine saved the weakened workers of the Rock Salt Mine, not the Liberation Army. It's a little different than I expected, but it turned out to be Ouilai.

With more than 800 recovered mine workers and their families, Sir Leonard's liberation forces returned to the village that had been liberated before the rock-salt mine and began retreating with supplies from the Holy King's Army and harvested crops.

Some of the liberators were former adventurers and soldiers of the Royal Merinard Army, so they also returned to the Omit Great Wilderness while liberating the pioneering village on the way while being armed with harvested goods from the Holy King's Army to escort the liberators.

"I managed to get the village's harvest and supplies back."

"It was burnt stone and water in that big strip."

"We managed to maintain our morale because we knew Pilna's message would help us get there. The problem was with the liberators."

"No one has returned to the Black Forest beyond the Omit Wilderness in the last 20 years. Looking at our gear, it seemed somewhat hopeful, but there was a tragic atmosphere."

If I were in the same position as the liberated people, I would have been quite anxious... Suddenly they would have let me go from the Holy King and led me to a dead place where no one had returned for 20 years, and I couldn't eat satisfactorily, and I couldn't sleep in a wilderness lodge... yeah, it was hard.

Even so, the patience of the liberators who managed to reach this fort without an outburst was incredible.

And when I saw the great wilderness of Omit, I was finally captured by the Holy King's Army.

"One of Harpy's scouts found the Holy King's Army. It was said that there were about 1,000 infantry and cavalry, so at first I thought it was bad, but the number of cavalry was small, so I saved my life."

"If we had 200 more cavalry, we wouldn't have done anything."

The course of the battle after that is exactly what Pilna told me. Harpy's aerial bombardment came as he shattered the cavalry with a crossbow and grenade attack, and later escaped with these bodies.

"Cubby caught the Holy King's Army horse, didn't he?"

"I was just lucky. I lost my rider and I jumped into it, and I managed to calm down."

The army horse is now resting with the horse that brought the carriage.

"But... I was ready, but I feel like I got a shoulder waterfall."

"Ready?"

"I thought the Holy Kingdoms would attack here. I was ready to fight. I have no experience in pointing weapons at people. I've never even had a proper fight."

In my confession, the cubs looked at each other with strange faces, and then they started laughing with anger.

"Hey, I don't think you're laughing."

"No, I'm sorry, I'm sorry. Well, you were ready for that. No, seriously, Koske."

"There's no need for Koske to make such a decision. Koske can make a lot of weapons, tools and medicine. You can just leave it up to us."

"That's right. If there's no one else who can fight, maybe we need to fight with courage, but while they can fight like us, let us handle it."

Warg, Cubby, and Indi each said that, and I hit my shoulders, my back, and my head. Hey, you idiots!

"Is there anyone in the Liberation Army who hasn't seen Koske in the first place? I think it's a lot of fucking courage to stand in front of a gizma and take a break."

"Not only that, but Koske has amazing abilities and doesn't have to be proud to use them correctly for everyone. I didn't ask for much money."

"Koske better understand how grateful we are for that. On top of that, if they fight on the front lines, we won't stand a chance."

I feel like I'm going to cry when I'm praised and admitted straight. Oh, I don't think so. There may have been times when the Holy King's Army retreated and cut the thread of tension, but it wobbled.

"Hey, what's going on, like crying?

"No, I'm glad to be admitted. It was worth the effort."

"Hahaha, unexpectedly brittle tears..... nhh"

The wolf's ear stood on the hamburger as Warg opened his eyes. After following his gaze, he saw Pilnah and Happy laughing. I wonder what it is. I'm supposed to smile, but I feel chilly.

Cubi and Indi were gone before long. Quick!

"Explain it to me! Definitely!? Please!?

Warg, who was dressed as if left behind, ran away like a rabbit. What a wolf, like a rabbit.

"What's the matter, Mr. Koske? Did they bully you?

"Shall I?

Pilna and the others, who drove the three men away with just their gaze, gathered around me and shouted worriedly. What do you mean it's coming back? I'm a little scared.

"No, it's not like that. It's just that I've just come to be told that everyone recognizes me. They're not bad for anything."

"What, was that so? I thought you were bullying our benefactor, Mr. Koske."

Well then, don't be shy.

Mr. Koske, I'll wipe your tears.

"Fufu, cute"

In an instant, Pirna and the others surround me, stroking my head and wiping my eyes with soft, warm wings. I'm starting to feel ashamed of being so slight.

"Ah, well, thank you. I'm fine now that I'm back up."

"Well, don't say that."

"That said, Mr. Koske, I heard that Fronte and the others are taking care of it."

"Please take our feathers."

It was prepared in advance. All five of them who were in the Liberation Army will hand me a feather. Blue feathers, red feathers, yellow feathers, white feathers, gray feathers. By the way, the blue feathers belong to Pirna.

"Oh, wow. Thank you. By the way, does Harpy have any special significance in passing his feathers to the opponent?

"No, nothing in particular. It's part of my body, and I don't give it to anyone else. See, that's the same with other tribes, isn't it?

"I don't know about this world, but it's true in my common sense."

It's not like I cut my own hair and give it to someone else. I may have given it to my lover on the battlefield as an amulet, but I've never seen or heard of it in detail.

"So, there's nothing special about it, but Fronte and I were happy to receive it, so we wanted to show our gratitude."

Well, thank you.

Check the touch of the five wings one by one and put them in the inventory. I knew you had unique names one by one. The blue ones are Pirna feathers, the red ones are Shaw feathers, the yellow ones are Orio feathers, the white ones are Aegis feathers, and the grey ones are displayed as Dickle feathers. Is there any reason why the "Harpy's Feather" should not be used in bulk?

For a while, I talked and laughed with the skinny Pilnas and each other during the expedition.

Nevertheless, I wondered what would happen when I heard that nearly 1,000 liberators were on their way here, but it was easier to hold them in the fort than I thought.

No, I'm sure it's going to be tough. We need to evacuate most of these personnel to our base, train people who can fight, and do a lot of things. The trouble is going to get worse, and this is the place to start.
