"What are you talking about...! I didn't know this village was being targeted by bandits."

The village chief of the windy Fatsugar village, such as the tanned farmer, leaked surprise by deepening the wrinkles (wrinkles) on his face.

This is the central square of the village of Fatsugar. Around the public water fields in every town and village, a large crowd of villagers had gathered to surround the village chief and us "a line of wise men".

If you look around the square, the houses with the roofs of the red baked tiles stand side by side, with a number of large warehouses storing the harvested crops.

You can also see the church bell tower and the school building, which at first glance is somewhere similar to the village of Finovocchi.

The big difference is that sugar cane (cane), which is the raw material for brown sugar, is the crop that is collected in luggage cars and backpacks in squares and warehouses.

Considering why this village was targeted by bandits, there is no mistake in seeing that it has something to do with saying that brown sugar boiled with sugar (cane) squeezed juice is very expensive.

It was about a moment ago that we descended on this square in the heart of the village on the flying carriage Sky Turtle.

After circling over the village, the repercussions of landing in the square seemed significant.

Fortunately, it saved us the trouble of calling and collecting the villagers.

We rolled four members of the tied bandits into the square, along with three brave children, to brief the village adults on the situation.

- A line of wise men has caught a bandit group targeting the village!

By word of mouth, this information was apparently passed on to all of the village in less than half an hour, and nearly a hundred young men, old men, women and children were gathering in the square.

Everyone has a mixed expression of confusion with excitement and insecurity.

"Is that why you said it!?

"Yes! I told you to listen to me!

"I can't believe you don't believe it because you're a child... it's terrible!

Speaking up were Fatsugar Village Boys and Girls Defense Corps leader, 10-year-old boy Tua, and subleader girl Kanna. And it's three stone thrower boys, Mihill.

"I'm sorry... these are the kids. Trust him."

When the three children protested to the village chief, the village chief lowered his head in front of the villagers in an unfortunate manner.

I guess he didn't listen seriously to the Tuas, even if he complained to his parents and other adults.

"... a group of bandits, the Zoronroso family, laid eyes on the village, probably releasing a few scouts and doing reconnaissance. These kids stumbled upon the group and discovered the plan. So these kids were struggling desperately to protect the village."

"Were you..."

"Oh, my God."

When I supplement the words of the children, the blurring spreads like waves among the villagers.

"That one, Grecas, the wise man of the kingdom...!

"The Wizard of Glasses I saw in the crystal sphere footage."

"The Wizard of the Six Heroes is with you!

"The demon kings and superdragons are defeated, not bandits or anything!

"That's right!

I stand beside the carriage, I see Lentomia sitting in your seat, and in anxiety and fear, I hear a mix of relief.

Iola had a sword in her hand to pull out, keeping an eye on the four bandits.

Riola continues to give detailed explanations to the village chief along with the three children and to the parents of the children.

"What would have happened to the children by now if the wise men hadn't passed by...?

"He was killed, or he was being sold!

"Forgive me, bandits!

The villagers throw stones and trash at the bandits that are tied up. Given my mood, it's a natural trick, but to some extent, I'm in a stop.

"... wait. The King's government will dispose of these people. Bandits are bound, but the name of this village gets dirty when you come directly here."

"Master Sage......!

"Well, so is that"

"I have already contacted the King's government using magical communications. Soldiers of support from the Royal Army and government officials are supposed to come tomorrow. That's why I want you to think about protecting the village now. We can help."

He took control of the young man in the village, who had just been excited and beaten to death, and spoke quietly.

"The Royal Army!? Master Sage called me......!

"Well then...!

I had already informed Monoreder and Scarlett, two special aides, of the situation in this village, which was imminent.

Then, to my surprise, they seemed to be taking the lead through their own route.

I was also informed that I had a squadron that I could travel with a fast horse, and that I was supposed to be able to provide roughly thirty people.

According to the story, 30 kilometres from here, east of Merte, on the coastline, in the midst of about a hundred trained soldiers stationed and trained, he said he would provide troops from there. But it's already around 3pm. The army did not travel at night, but headed to Fatsugar village at sunrise.

Thanks to the rapid spread of crystal ball communications, it is really helpful that these liaison systems have been put in place among the Royal Army and villages.

"Which means if we prevent tonight's raid, reinforcements will be here tomorrow morning."

Are you staying here tonight......?

You'll worry if you don't contact Hemperoza at Manuferno or Pram. I wanted to enjoy a relaxing winter evening, but I kept it overnight.

"Everybody! Did you hear that? Not what the wise man said!

Zawa...... and the gaze of the anxious villagers gathers again to the village chief.

"First of all, the youngsters have weapons in their hands, so they can quickly form a militia. You just have to remember the days of the Demon King's War! It's the same as exorcising demons. Act in groups of three, gather as many people as you can, and consolidate the entrance to the village!

"Come on! If you heard the village chief, we'll get to it!

"Give the neighborhood a message for anything that can get the horses out! Keep the door tight and alert and go around!

"Hurry! Come on!

When the young people, who felt like the central members of the village, partitioned the place, the people began to act on their own.

Apparently, anti-banditry measures have been set in motion all at once.

By building a line of defense against the bandits (...) the whole village should frustrate (lottery) the bandits who saw it and considerably reduce the likelihood of being raided.

Unless we're confident in our own combat skills, we should be alert and have a smart leader when we see them scouting a few times.

"That's a relief."

"Right. We can't handle 15 people on a boulder alone."

I lean against the carriage and have a conversation with Lentomia.

"I said knock it all out, too, that was sweet..."

It reminds me of when I read Tua's letter and jumped out of the Sage Hall with momentum.

I cut a huge glory to Special Assistant Monoreder, but now I'm full of embarrassment and regret.

"Grey, you're a little too well, aren't you? Even with four bandits, you don't know what's going to happen to the main team of bandits, do you? It's hard to predict the flow of the whole thing. You can't do anything with magic alone, can you?

Lentomia looked seriously at me when she stood her elf ear up.

"... sorry. Exactly.... My ear hurts. I remember my liver."

"Heh, rare and honest"

"Lentomia is my master."

"Eh heh. The years don't change, do they?

A half elf with Nico and his usual grin.

"Guru, what are these four going to do?

"Right, they say the healthy old men in the village worked. Let them keep an eye out."

A bunch of tea-drinking, friend-like old men left in the square are turning their anticipation to me. They want to work for this village.

"Leave it to me, wise man!

"Even so, I won't let a young man dress well."

"Oh, please."

"" Way!

"But... why don't my fellow bandits come and get these guys back?

Next to the cheerful old men, Iola has asked worryingly.

These four are "platoons" that are scouts and scouts.

Earlier, when we questioned the bandits lightly, they said that if they didn't return on time and didn't hear from them, the "main unit" of the bandits would be on alert and go to the next action.

i.e. retreat or attack.

"Don't worry. Leave it to me."

Certainly the wizard was about to unleash the 'demon of use' for the decree. Let's try to mimic it and flow false information.

As I approached Jiri and the four of them, the old wizard shook his head with a moga as if begging for his life.

"Oh, you don't have to talk. Just reverse analyze (...) from the traces of the magic ceremony you were using, and forge the same thing."

"Mogger!?

I generated a cloth-shaped 'demon of use' from traces of the magic used by the old wizard.

It seems like a kind of simple golem that lets a normal borough cloth carry magic with magic thread (magiwire) and treats it like a creature.

I unleashed the "demon of use" for the preaching.

"What a bunch of bandits to tell?

Lentomia jumps out of your seat and pays for her pussy.

"Right, 'the warehouse will be full (...) with brown sugar during the day tomorrow. Continue reconnaissance a little longer,' I guess."

"I see -! Then I'm curious to wait until tomorrow. Looks like the army's coming, too, and let's make it a bowl!

"I don't want to be bouldering!

The Wizard of the Half Elf shines his jade eyes and rounds them as Iola was impressed.

"Then we'll support the long-range attack where the scarecrow came from."

"Right!

Me and Lentomia's Precision Induction Strike Ceremony (Critical Striker). Use this to send flamethrowing rain from a distance and sharpen opponent's power.

"We only support the villagers. That's the way to go."
