Four carriages were traveling on the road of the former Duke of Sauron. Mercenaries board the first and last carriages, and the mercenaries also serve as merchants. In addition, mercenaries on horseback surround and protect their defenses.

And, in the middle two carriages, "products" were loaded.

"It's totally a good world."

The head of the group, Padesi Boktarin, had a cheerful smile, regardless of the mood.

"Rumors say that the name of this territory will be officially changed soon. No, it's remarkable. This is the rule of the Amid Empire."

The leader of the mercenary corps talks to Padeshi saying such a thing.

"Can I say that, my husband? I guess my husband is a natural electorate."

Can we be so happy about the current state and future of our home country, where our homeland is occupied and controlled by enemy countries? Even if asked, Padesi's smile is not cloudy.

"Naturally, it doesn't matter where you were born. I am a racial lover of merchants, entities that give them the opportunity to make a profit. Give me

Look at the product behind. It's an unthinkable quantity and quality when it was a kingdom. ''

The second and third carriages, proudly pointed to by Padeshi, each carried a dozen or so people.

I am a slave.

Expensive slave collars are not fitted, but instead have strong shackles on the limbs.

Padesi Boktarin was a slaver. However, slavery has been recognized in the Orbaum election. So why can the Amid occupation be more profitable?

It was for the tribe of slaves. There are beasts, giants, half-elves with dark elves, and one dragon race on horse-drawn carriages. They are all new Vida races, or those whose blood is evident.

In the Amid Empire, the treatment of humans, race and elf and dwarf slaves is strict. But the slaves of the new race of Vida, who is being discriminated against, and those who draw its blood, are virtually unlimited.

Padesi has watched it and sells it as a slave by assembling a new tribe of Vida in the former Sauron territory.

"Sure, there are strong things that can work anywhere in a beautiful place."

In the carriage, there are beautiful women who are likely to salivate even the head of the mercenaries, strong men who can do hard physical work, and boys of just the right age to prepare for work from now on.

Although they are mercenaries of outsiders in business other than storms, it turns out that selling them can be a huge profit.

"But the emperor would have announced that the emperor would leave slavery laws for fifty years?"

As the mercenaries say, Amid Emperor Maskhuzar did not imperially discriminate against the occupied Sauron.

This was both a grace and a trap for the people of Sauron.

Elves in Sauron races and dwarves suddenly repel the empire when they hear that their neighbors, colleagues, lovers, spouses, and their children are being discriminated against. It could be the beginning of a massive rebellion and there would be countless attempts to escape into the election.

But if you hear that the fifty years will be the same, some will be more relieved than repelled first. Especially for large races, fifty years is a distant future where adults are likely to be replaced by their own children and grandchildren.

For long-lived dwarves and elves, I think that fifty years may change the system of the empire, and before that, the election of Orbaum may have regained Sauron territory.

So, shouldn't it be dangerous to go against the government and just look at the situation?

That's enough time to think so.

By doing so, the policy is to keep the people of Sauron unified.

The law is law, albeit with the intention of a trap. If you do, you will of course suffer severe punishment.

"So aren't they taking this less popular path, hiring and escorting you, and smuggling into the territory of the Amid Empire?

There's no military police in the empire who set off to search for slaves of a strange, adorable race of Vida. ''

"Haha, definitely. This product will be delivered to me by myself, my husband. So ..."

"I know, the rewards bounce for work."

"No, not really-"

Armed men and women who concealed their mouths from the forests on both sides appeared to obscure the black talks between slave merchants and mercenaries, blocking the front and rear of the carriage.

And a female knight, concealing his mouth like any other, masked Padesi with sharp eyes and declared.

"We are the 'Sauron Liberation Front!' Padeshi, who sells the people of our country using even invaders! 'I don't think there is any life!'

If you look closely, you will be a young girl who is still a young girl in the young age, but the power contained in the voice is not immature.

"Well, the Sauron Liberation Front!"

"Well, mercenaries, it's time to come and ask!"

Padeshi turns his face blue, but shouts so brutally to the mercenary leader. The leader commanded his grin and distorted his mouth, and set up the resulting Halberd.

"Yes, leave the execution to me."

What? What are you talking about?

So Padesh intended, but instead came out of his own blood.

"Kappa ... bubbly"

The commander bows out to the woman knight when he pulls the material from the corpse of Padesi, whose eyes are stripped.

"I'm done, young lady"

Other mercenaries, who bind Padeshi's hired employees, bow down following the leader.

"Good, let's release the enslaved people from the shackles"

"Hey, leave it to me."

What a mercenary, who had been hired by Padesi, was communicating with a knight led by the Resistance.

The mercenaries suddenly remove the shackles from the slaves who are still puzzled, and the Resistance puts on the cloak they brought to women and children.

The knight talked to the mercenary commander somewhere relieved.

"But it's good, Davis. You can't survive as a mercenary if you betray the employer, albeit in the lower ranks."

Grandmaster ... Davis smiled bitterly.

"Hey, I don't care. I'm like a mercenary team. I was just sitting on the battlefield because I died on the battlefield. I'd like to go out of business."

And Davis said, saluted when he was a Duke of Sauron.

"I'm originally a loser. If I can return to Sauron before my death, I'll wear as much mud as I can fight under the flag of a young lady."

"It's not my flag, but the flag of the Duke of Sauron. I'm just the eldest daughter of a knight who hasn't received a knight's order."

Now a woman knight, Iris Behrhardt, is glad to see the expectation of his late father's subordinates, but did not forget to prick his nails.

The Resistance is organized in multiples besides the "Sauron Liberation Front," led by her, and the "New Sauron Duke Army," headed by the duke of Sauron and his brother. Actions that could lead to resistance breaking out of friends should be avoided even if there are only friends around.

"In addition, my home position is the lowest among those who are on the liberation front.

In fact, the house of Iris is the lowest knight of any noble that can be inherited by the Orbaum nobility. And all members of the Sauron Liberation Front are from the noble family above her.

"Iris is saying something again. Is the fifth baron's fifth son hateful of me?"

"Now, maybe you're taking care of me, born into the Earl's concubine."

"No, I'm refraining from being a former orphan who was adopted by the Marquis to use it for political marriage."

However, even if they are all from home, they cannot normally take over their homes and take on a significant role, unless they are adopted by another noble family or become grooms and brides. Those who were

Many aristocrats and their second son, who may succeed their patriarch in the previous war, have been killed or escaped into other Dukes. The aristocrats in the Sauron territory today are either religious to the empire or puppets whose names are left alone to reassure the nation.

And the nuances of Iris who are not as important to the election as they desperately escape, but who are bleeding from the aristocracy and cannot be ignored by the Empire.

"Well, from now on, the soldiers will be joining us for three generations before, so there's no problem."

"It's encouraging.

Alright, we're about to leave! "

The resistance, which has doubled, and those who have returned from slavery to the people, cheer and move on their robbed carriages. All that remained was a bloodstain shed by a slaver.

The voice of a boy who leads an evil group resounds in the fresh air of a clear morning.

"Here is the campsite."

If survivors of the earth hear this Vandaloo's declaration, they may be amazed. "Is there such a camp?"

"Get up"

First, the ground gradually turns into a golem, and the slopes of the mountain are transformed into squares of an appropriate area. Don't forget to turn rocks and rocks into stone golems and make them pillars that support the square.

Then, in the open space, the bones build up with a rattling sound.

"Opin"

Knochen in Bournefort is transformed into a castle wall and a living building using bone as a building material. The roof is not a tiled roof but a bone roof made of bone plates such as stegosaurus and turtle shells.

The building is not empty and has bone tables, chairs and beds. Sheets and mats were also carried on Sam, and Rita and Salia carried them in immediately and started making beds.

Vandaloo quickly digs a well with the [Golem training] skill, and also builds a dungeon for emergency movement with the [Labyrinth construction] skill.

Finally, wild boars and immortal crampons walk around Knochen, hiding the bone house from the surroundings.

"I'm having trouble, my husband."

And it finishes in less than an hour. Take a break with the tea that Belmond brewed.

With just this much time and effort, it has the same defensive power as a solid fort in a place where nothing was available, has excellent livability, and has food from wells and immortal ents, as well as emergency exits to escape The equipped base has been completed.

"It should receive a disaster designation."

"Oh?

Looking at Knochen (the skeleton of the alter ego), the core of the base, Shimizumi and Vandalu said.

Suddenly, a fort with a myriad of undead spawns where no attention has been paid. Then both precautions and defense strategies are ruined.

In particular, Knochen has a [high-speed flight] skill, so his mobility is incomparable with other Bournefort.

If you want to do so, you can invade over the city walls at midnight and assault the town by morning to build a fort.

From a defender's perspective, it's a nightmare.

"In this case, we need to rethink Talosheim's defense strategy, considering that empires, elected kingdoms, and vampires of the same species may use them."

"Van, I'm not scared. Calm down."

"Vandaloo, don't worry, don't be afraid"

"Hey, please see, Lord, I'm always turning more."

Pauvina and Darussia begin to calm down Vandalu, who has a paroxysmal crisis and starts an unlikely assumption. She shows off her skull and ribs and juggles to see if the bones are trying to distract her.

"Bochan, it's true that empires and elected kingdoms will bring monsters similar to Bornfort to the front line ... Well, I can not say that there is no such thing."

There is no 90%. There is no one who can control monsters of the same family as Bornfort, as only Vandaloo can take on undead and insect monsters.

If you use very large plant-type monsters or special golems, you might be able to do the same thing in theory ...

Even if this desk theory became a reality, the super-large plant-type monster would walk slower than a land-based shellfish, and if a fort-type golem moving with current alchemy was made, the country would go bankrupt ten times with only production costs. I do.

"How about the original vampire?

"I'm Bircain ... I don't know the strength of Bircain or Goubamon, but I wonder if Bournefort is the first one."

"Eh, is that so? I think Knochen is very useful, but

Princess Levia listens unexpectedly. Bornfort is a rare undead with only a few identified in history, but Vircain and Goubamon are alive from the days of the Jindai to the present. If they can take on the undead, it's OK to keep an eye on them.

I thought so, but Belmond replied, "Don't think about her princess or her husband."

"They can taunt the undead, but they can only dominate the undead they created with their bodies from the corpse. Undeads that already exist and are active cannot.

So if they want a bone fort, they have to make it from scratch, but collecting this number of bones is literally a bone. ''

Moreover, the rituals are collected and then undead, so it takes a considerable amount of time.

"Aren't you going to grow from a living bone of rank 1 normally?"

"I don't think I did much. For strength, increasing the number of subordinate vampires is enough ... and my husband, most of the undead, are not as smart as Knochen and Boneman."

In other words, even if they grow up with difficulty, they can only execute some simple instructions such as "fight" and "wait".

"In the first place, they do not run separate nations or large mercenaries; they are akin to criminal organizations.

I don't originally expect to fight the army from the front. ''

Primitive vampires of the evil spirits have survived in a way rooted in society. Therefore, they do not seem to assume that they will conduct large-scale battles such as war.

In the first place, the original vampires and higher-ranking vampires have the ability to fight off a single country's army alone. With no noncombatants to defend, they only need to rampage or flee themselves or a few.

"Well, evil or evil god?"

"Is it evil or evil? ... as it's not my knowledge."

Belmondo could not answer Vandaloo's question.

However, the evil gods such as the "Evil God of Evil" who gave blessings to the Goubamons, such as Hijryshkaka, and the Vandaloos will be hostile.

As such, we need to take those measures.

"Well, I can only think about the countermeasures right now, so let's prepare while twisting my head."

"Sorry, I couldn't persuade you."

"Nothing like that, Belmondo. You did well!

"I do not apologize. He seems to have returned to normal. "

"Oopon"

To all who worked at Belmond in such a situation, Vandaloo thought, "Is it too frightening?", But reconsidered that it would be good to prepare enough to not overdo it.

Through the repetition of a sense of crisis equivalent to Vandaloo's paranoia, Talosheim's defense has been enhanced.

"Well, let's go for now. Everyone is the bandit or the empire soldier, and if you can't overtake it, please handle it. Leave it when the evil gods vampires come.

But don't put your hands on the Resistance people. If you're going to die, please help me. ''

With that said, the band went out of the camp.

The first goal is to make contact with Scylla, but for the time being you must gather nearby spirits to gather information. To do so, take a short walk around.

"Well, hopelessly."

There are countless lives in the wilderness of nature, and countless spirits aren't busy generating or disappearing. Those spirits are very useful for making golems. However, it is hardly useful as an information source.

The spirit of the plant is insensitive to the surroundings, and the spirit of the insects can hardly be expected. For animals, the inside of the territory can be understood to some extent. Birds are most promising because they have good eyes and a wide range of activities.

However, the spirits of these wild animals and plants quickly lose their memories before birth and often return to the circle of reincarnation in less than a year until 90%.

In that case, we can rely on intelligent creatures such as humans or the spirits of demons. But this is just a secluded natural mountain. It's not a battlefield, so there's probably no human spirit.

Then you should look for a demon spirit ...

"Isn't it even a goblin?"

"When you look for it, you're not surprised, Goblin."

"I don't know."

Vandaloo, Princess Levia and Pauvina follow the trail looking for a demon that could be a source of information, but this seems to be a peaceful mountain than expected. There are no shadows or shapes of goblins, synonymous with monsters everywhere.

He might have just fled for fear of a giant ghost and a giant girl over two meters tall.

"It's relatively successful if you just hunt autumn leaves."

This area has a moderate gap between the trees, and the sunlight is beautiful on the day of the sunbeams. There is no important autumn leaves and the scenery is not bad, though the leaves are scarce.

"What does maple hunting hunt? What is a maple monster?"

Pauvina misunderstands the common misconception of a child who has heard of autumn leaves hunting, and Vandalou tries to correct it, but before that, Levia replied, "It's a deer monster."

"In another world, it was written on a slate that deer meat was called maple meat. Isn't that wrong?

"Yes, deer."

Well, because the world is different, there will be no problem even if the meaning of autumn leaves hunting is different.

At that time, Pauvina sniffed the smell around.

"Oh, I smell water from here."

Pauvina's sharp sense of smell from the Noble Oak Half did better than the ghostly ghosts.

"If you go to the waterside, it will be a clue."

Scylla, like the Lizardman, is a race that needs a waterfront. Of course, not every waterside has scylla, but it can be a clue.

"Then I'm waiting by your side"

"Please, Pauvina, where do you smell?"

"Yeah, over there."

Princess Levia disappears just in case. Vandaloo went about Pauvina, following the smell of water.

After a while, we arrived at a small pond.

"I don't have a scyura"

As unfortunate that Paulina says, there is no scylla in a small swamp about 10 meters in diameter.

"But some people were scylla."

But in the eyes of Vandalu, the spirit of Scylla was visible.

"No ... no ... no ..."

It looks like he's looking for something with his terribly dark face and both hands and lower arms. It seems that he is looking so concentrated that he does not notice the skill of Vandalu's [Magical Attraction]. It is a so-called earthbound spirit.

He is the most ghostly spirit he has ever encountered.

"Are you looking for something?"

However, when Vandaloo called out, the spirit of Scylla raised his face and relaxed his expression while staring at Vandaloo. The terrible shadow floating on his expression has come off brilliantly.

"The important ring. I just got it ... If I got it, I lost it ... "

It would be okay to show him to Pauvina, but according to the Scylla spirit that used the magic of [visualization], she was a tribal scyla who set up a village near this pond named Olbia.

Olbia, a female-only tribe of Scylla, had a secret date with a man. It seems that the other man was a person in a position and could not clarify the relationship now.

"But there was something I wanted to pass on as a proof of my engagement, so I was told that I wanted to come here alone, and I came out of the village. And a ring from that person ... I'm so happy and far away ...

"I was dead."

"That's so! If you notice, you're a ghost, there's no one, no ring ... I don't know what's what ... "

"I'm sorry, I forgot when I died."

"It would have been painful that I was dead when I realized"

Three people who have died in the story of Olbia nod and said, "I understand."

"Let's help find the ring."

"good! ? You searched for days, but can't find it?

"Yes. It will increase for the time being."

"Is it going to increase? Wow is increasing! ?

[Abscissed] Vandaloo who has transformed into and looks into the mud of the pond.

"Do you know why you died?

Meanwhile, Princess Levia and Pauvina are listening to why Olbia died. [Mental erosion] There are ways to use skills. It's better to listen and remember because there is a possibility that the madness or mental collapse will occur as soon as you forcibly pierce the memory.

"No, I don't remember anything ..."

The appearance of ghosts often depends on the state of mind at the time of death. The soul of a person who was stabbed with a knife appears as if the knife was stuck in his chest, so the cause of death can be understood just by looking at it, but Olbia has no trauma.

Since he doesn't remember why he died, the cause of death may not have appeared in the spirit body.

"Surely it was so fast. Don't you remember before you died? Did something strange happen?"

"Speaking of this ... recently, some villages have attacked where Syura is alone and somebody has been killed in a terrible form. No way! ? That's very, maybe that person is in danger! ?

"Oh, it's okay, Van will notice if there's that person's spirit around."

"Yes, surely your important person is safe."

When Olbia was calmed down and said, "Yes, that's not the case, that's not the case," all of Vandaloo's alter ego returned to her body.

"Unfortunately, I couldn't find the ring. The one who killed you stole it, is in the same place as the corpse, or is that" the person "in possession?"

"Yes ... thanks for looking. I gave up on this. "

Suddenly, the appearance of Olbia becomes thin. Knowing that the ring is not here, it seems that the puns are fading and trying to return to the ring of reincarnation.

"Olbia Sister ..."

"If you are reborn, please be happy this time."

"Yes, thank you"

Pauvina and Princess Leviae look away. Olbia smiled and told them, and she disappeared.

"Oh, sorry, it would be helpful if you showed me to the village of Scylla."

"I didn't tell you where it was."

I came back without disappearing.

"Do you intend to become undead later? You can take revenge on the culprit with your own hands."

"Well, undead separately. I don't care about revenge, if that person is safe ... oh, but I'd like to make sure she's safe. "

And he stuck to Vandaloo easily. For the time being, he seems to have possession until he confirms the safety of the person he wants.

"I'm glad, but Bimyo. I knew it would happen."

"It's subtle. I also thought it would be like this

Those who had been stopped by Vandaloo to return to the ring of reincarnation, stared at the eyes.

With the message to everyone waiting on the insect undead, Vandaloo and others were guided by Olbia to the village where she lived. The settlement seems to be in a swamp in the mountains.

"Well, this child," Vida's Son "! ? It's amazing, we Scuras have always believed in Vida, but no one has those two!

"Huh, that's right. Van is amazing.

So who's your favorite Olbia sister? "

"I can't say the name. But, it's very cool ♪

Apparently, she seems to be a beautiful person with distinctive bangs.

"That's how it seems that if you listen, you can identify who you are."

A muttering vandaloo approached the river between the settlement and a screaming tearing silk.

"Maybe someone is being attacked."

"Wow fast! ? But why run with your hands! ?

"Because it's early. Pauvina and Princess Levia should follow."

Vandaloo, who switches to quadruped running momentarily, heads in the direction in which he heard the screams without hearing their reply.

"Well, maybe I think it's different, but maybe ... oh, my tongue has grown! ?

Somehow Olbia seems embarrassed, but Vandalou ran, trying to think first after rushing to the Lord of the Screaming while cutting off the obstructing branches with the martial arts [tongue sword].

If you're attacked by a murderer who killed Olbia, you'll be using a lot of magic and saving on flying.

In fact, the speed is not much different from quadruped running to the nearby river.

Demon commentary: Living Maid Armor

Thalia and Rita have been upgraded by the addition of brass armor shaped like frills and races by Vandaloo.

Probably, the rank-up condition may be that you have acquired [housework] skills, that you are someone's maid, that the armor is shaped appropriately.

Of course, there is no rank 6 living armor type undead who possesses [housework] skills and realizes that it is someone's maid, so there is no other place than Saria and Rita, so it is the first monster that occurred in Lambda is there.

For this reason, adventurers will likely mistakenly identify a strangely shaped living armor or a living magic armor with a high probability.

As well as the high combat ability, there is a possibility that the housemaid will grow into an excellent maid because there are corrections in his skills.
