The faces of the 'White Wolf', who saw the 'Spirit Factory' alliance go into the dungeon, follow with a chuckle.

"Well, I didn't expect them to come into the dungeon with their goose necks down."

"I was wondering how to invite the 'Spirit Factory' to the dungeon, but you saved me a lot of time to stir it up from here"

"Loran's bastard, let me clear the snowflake the other day"

"I went out of my way to be a big zone, and it was easier to attack. I'll tell you plenty about whose garden this dungeon is."

Jeff was feeling uncomfortable as he went through the woods.

(What? I feel the other guy move slowly)

Loran spoke out when he realized that Jeff looked surprised.

"What's up, Jeff?

"Loran. No, I feel like the new guys are moving oddly slow..."

"That's all you've grown."

In fact, the quality of movement was visibly different between the new subscribers and the existing troopers.

Having steadily done Loran's workouts and gained experience in action, they had already reached a level that drew a line with the island's common adventurers.

(But don't let the disparity between new and existing guilds become a problem when this happens. inequality always creates disconnection)

As a commander, it was a headache issue.

(Well, I wonder what's going on)

You have to let them earn Ore to collect Gear Royalties from Adventurer Alliances who have joined the Alliance.

It's just that we don't just have to pick ore and come back, we all have to get ore and come back.

Naturally, the bandits were supposed to come after that, too.

(First the road to the mining site to go. We have to clear this place as undamaged as possible, and yet raise adventurers who have come in new. in preparation for the battle against the returning bandits)

The forests of the emerging hems of ghosts and werewolves break through forcefully with the power of numbers, and eventually the line reaches the 'metal line', where blunt iron ore is represented.

(Well, here's the problem)

When it came to taking as many as a hundred adventurers along the narrow path of the dungeon, we couldn't all go harder and harder.

The battle line will stretch long naturally and vertically.

("Fire Dragon (Fafnir)" emerges from "Metal Line". How to protect a long-extended unit vertically against an opponent breathing 'Breath of Fire (Brace)' from above)

Loran decided to split the troops in two.

On the front line, gather the strongest units to intercept the Fire Dragon (Fafnir).

He used Junmin's (agility) bowmen (archers) and bandits (sheaves) to gain an advantage over his enemies, and before the Fire Dragon (Fafnir) found this one, it was an operation to find it and defeat it.

"Leon!"

"Hmm?"

"Can I ask you to direct the avant-garde? I want to focus on rear command."

"That's fine. You don't have a problem with me?

"It's okay. The avant-garde has the most powerful adventurers in their ranks, and..."

[Leon's Status]

Command: 80-90

"Your ability as a commander has improved considerably, too."

"Right. Well, if that's what you say..."

"I'll take care of the rear, so you guys focus on the forward enemy. Ground combat shall be driven away with minimal combat so as not to wear out. Only the Dragon Clan can be sure of it. Fight back and set it up here as much as you can. But keep in touch with the rear, so you don't get too far apart."

"Okay."

Leon takes command in the avant-garde.

(Well, I...)

While in command of the guard, Loran gathered around himself those who had decided to raise him as a priority.

Some of them look like Carla.

(The division of the battle is how weak the troops can be trained by the expected return of fighting the bandits. Or so I said, you can't go slow. If we go too slow, we risk losing sight of the leading avant-garde, in addition to draining heavily. If so… it is necessary to sort. who can and cannot use)

Loran picked out a relatively fast-growing person to sort out the role.

Archers with high arm strength (power) are given power shooters.

Jun Min's (Agile) Bowman (Archer) is for backup shooting.

A swordsman with high arm strength (power) and endurance (toughness) is available to assault personnel.

Jung-min (Agility) swordsmen jump out from behind.

Those with high skill in "Shield Defense" are to be supported by swordsmen with low endurance (toughness).

"I guess this is the place. Okay, Carla at the end. You..."

Loran appraised Carla's skills.

[Karla's Skills]

"Sword moves": C A

"Shadowing": D A

"Item Takeover": E A

"Octavian Sword Dance": E S

(Hmm. It hasn't grown surprisingly since then)

"Carla, I need you to follow me."

"? Yours?

After finishing all the placements in this way, the 'Spirit's Factory' alliance resumed its quest for dungeons.

Divided into an avant-garde under Leon's command and a rear guard under Loran's command, he takes a narrow mountain path while maintaining a certain distance.

As Loran proceeded vigilantly around him, three arrows were seen released from the avant-garde over the sky.

(Signal from the avant-garde! Battle.)

Loran followed perfectly at the rear of the unit moving forward to signal the troops and protect the back of the avant-garde.

When you thus consolidate the back of the avant-garde, you order your own troops to be on the lookout for the rear.

(Now, naturally if we stop in the middle of a dungeon like this...)

"Enemy attack!! From behind."

Archer exclaimed, a bowman who could use farsightedness.

"How many?

"Ten" Goblins "and five" Werewolves with Armor "!

"Okay. Expand. Spread out to the side so you don't get turned around. Carla, you remember what I just taught you? Let's go."

……

Carla remembers what Loran taught her earlier in the woods.

"Guard Bandit (Sheaf)?"

"Oh, you have low arm strength and low endurance as an avant-garde."

[Carla Grazia's Status]

Arm Power: 30-40

Endurance (Toughness): 20-30

"So in your case, it's best to remember how to fight a rear-guard bandit (sheaf), who used his shield well. That's where the liver becomes your skill, Shadowing."

("Shadowing"...... I have such skills......)

[Carla Grazia's Skills]

"Shadowing": D A

Loran presses his body against the trunk of the tree with his shield in his hand.

"'Shadowing' is the skill of attacking enemies on the other side over allies. Carla, try to attack me while you're at it."

"What?"

"From behind me, in the image of attacking the trunk of this tree over me."

"No, even if they say so..."

"Fine. Just try it."

"Huh."

Carla slashes him on the back area covered in Loran's armor.

Then the sword is attacked by the feeling of passing through Loran's body.

There was a cut on the trunk of the tree where Loran was pressing his shield.

There is no damage to Loran.

Carla panicked and looked at the cutting edge of the sword.

The sword remains pressed against Loran's back.

(Hey, what's it feel like now? as if the sword had passed through Loran's body)

"Yeah. Sounds good. Looks like you got it."

[Carla Grazia's Skills]

"Shadowing": C ( 1)

After that, Karla practices with Loran several times to grasp the feel of 'shadowing'.

(I can almost activate 100% 'Shadowing' in practice. But will it be fulfilled and used in action?

Loran takes the sword of 'The Little Ghost (Goblin)' flying by with his shield.

"Carla, now!

But 'Little Ghost (Goblin)' leaves before Carla adds a slaughter to Loran's back.

Carla's slaughter only wore Loran's armor.

(Grunts, missed)

Loran also falls ill, his health is shredded.

"Gu."

"Oh, I'm sorry. Are you okay, Lorraine?

"I'm fine. Carla, step in faster than that! Shorten the form so the slaughter can be released quickly."

"Ugh, shut up. I know, I know."

"Coming. Again!"

Once again, The Little Ghost (Goblin) is slashed by Loran.

(more, so that Carla can do it easily)

Loran uses his shield to remove the 'Goblin' sword and hit his body against the enemy so that he can stay in contact with the enemy for as long as possible.

"Carla, now!

"Ha ha!

Carla poked Loran's back out of her mind.

"The Little Ghost (Goblin)" spits blood, blowing up behind him.

(So, done!?

(I didn't just do the damage. The enemy's armor is slipped through and slashed. Is this the true value of 'Shadowing')

Each of the others in the unit will finish the battle.

"Carla. Good, now the battle"

"Oh, oh."

"I ask for the next fight at this rate as well. Pato!"

"Yes."

Pato is called, and he rushes under Loran.

"Carla's gear, but with a poking subject. Lighter than durable. so that there will be less preliminary motion."

"Okay."

Pato refrains from taking note of what Loran said.

"Okay. Then let's resume our exploration. Tell the previous unit the battle is over."

Loran ordered the conductor to release a bow and arrow.

Troops divided into two climb up the mountain, keeping a constant distance again.

Even then, Loran worked out Carla's "Shadow Strike".

In time, Carla realized that the damage done to her enemies was mating.

Sometimes an enemy can be dealt with with a single blow, or only a small amount of damage.

(What? There's a lot of power.)

Carla tilts her neck.

"Carla. Apparently your 'shadowing', enemy posture, changes the power"

"Enemy posture?

"Yes, if you 'shadow' your enemies when they are out of shape, you can do a lot of damage. It seems to have as much effect as a clean hit when your enemies are leaning on us, which means you're breaking your center of gravity."

"I see."

"Watch my movements as well as those of my enemies."

"Okay. Okay."

(Take a good look at the enemy's movements...)

Carla also became attentive to the enemy's movements, as Loran advised.

Nevertheless, you can barely see enemy movements over Loran's back.

But in time, just look beneath the enemy's feet and you'll be able to predict the enemy's posture to some extent.

(Collapsed. Now!)

Carla unleashes' Shadowing '.

"The Great Ghost with Armor (Armored Oak)" is pierced through the steeple and is deadly with a single blow, despite its giant.

(That's a big deal. I'm already wearing the battle over the shield)

Loran wraps his tongue around Carla's quickness of mastery with his heart.

(Both "Kid (Goblin)" and "Big Ghost (Oak)" were defeated. With endurance (toughness) and strength (stamina) and arm strength (power), she can no longer be stopped. After that, if I can finish "Lizard Warrior" with Jung-min (Agility) Lycans... or something)

Pato was also watching from behind, feeling Karla's change as it were.

(Carla's movements, getting sharper and sharper. Just remembering the right way to fight, is that something that's going to change this far?

While I was doing that, Loran's opponent came the way he wanted.

Lizard Warrior.

"Lizard Warrior (Lizard Man)" takes fine steps while adding slaughter with a moon knife to Loran.

(Goddamn it, I can hardly catch my enemies)

Loran can't hit his body with The Lizard Warrior (Lizardman) and feels frustrated.

It was time for the armor to reach its limits.

His endurance (toughness) and strength (stamina) as well.

Karla's nerves, on the other hand, become sharpened.

(Loran is losing sight of the enemy, he's moving fast. sharper, prepen the opponent's movements......)

Carla goes behind Loran like a shadow, while keeping her hips even lower than before for a moment of chance.

The sword of "Lizard Warrior (Lizardman)" falls short of Loran's shield and falls apart.

Loran smashes his body into the pocket of Lizard Warrior (Lizardman).

"Okay. Now..."

Carla was stepping in before Loran finished saying everything.

Activate Shadow Strike to fly the Lizard Warrior sword.

(Another blow...)

But the Lizard Warrior (Lizardman) was faster to let go of his body.

"Loran, it's a switch!

Carla jumps over Loran's shoulder and is slashed by Lizard Warrior.

He spinned even after striking a blow, launching a series of strikes.

Rarely slay Lizard Warrior.

Carla was surprised by her own rolled out skills.

(Hey, what's that? Is that my skill?

(Karla's slaughter now. It's not just normal 'sword moves'. Probably Unique Skill 'Kaiten Sword Dance'!

[Carla Grazia's Skills Status]

"Sword moves": B ( 1)

"Shadowing": B ( 1)

"Octavian Sword Dance": C ( 2)

Jun Min (Agility): 60 ( 20) - 70 ( 20)

(Remember the battle over the shield and skill stats blossomed all at once? This will also be enough power in the upcoming showdown against bandits. Carla Grazia. Pass!

"All right. Well done, Carla."

Loran pounds Carla's shoulder.

"Oh, oh..."

"You're tired of boulders. Rest once... Hmm? Are you new?!?

A new army of monsters came under attack before the Lorans finished the fight.

Carla felt uncomfortable with her legs as she tried to set up her sword again.

(Huh. My leg...)

[Carla Grazia's Status]

Jun Min (Agility): 10 ( 50) - 70

(The sudden recoil of rising status has destabilized the status)

(Shit, I'm gonna be surrounded like this)

A cold sweat floats on Carla's forehead.

"It's okay, Carla. You stay put."

"What?"

There's no need for Carla to inquire.

The adventurers surrounded them and followed them.

They were other adventurers selected by Loran.

"I hit the biggest 'Big Ghost (Oak)'. Sam, Trevor. Stiffen up your left and right."

"Okay."

"Leave it to me."

"Noah. There's a guy in the enemy who's after us from behind. Bow Shooting, please."

"All right."

Carla wasn't the only one growing up.

Loran's selected adventurers will work together to instantly dominate the new monsters, without showing fatigue despite the streak.

"All right, we've got the enemy under control."

"We look good, don't we?

"Oh, this gear's easy to use."

"It also helps that the commander's instructions are clear"

Carla is stunned by the sight.

I've never seen local adventurers fight so bravely before.

(You mean you've grown this many adventurers in this short period of time)

Carla looks at Loran in awe.

(If this guy really wants a 'giant fire dragon (Grand Fafnir)'...)

"Loran, I need to talk to you a little bit about gear..."

"Loran, about the enemy's enemies..."

"Oh, then..."

The adventurers, who have learned the joy of growing up, beg Loran to teach by showing one improvement after another.

Loran responds to that, too.

"Okay. I guess this is the place. Carla. You can take the day off now. You're tired."

"... oh"

(Dangerous)

Carla looks at Loran's back putting the troops together with a sitting eye.

(This guy is too dangerous. If you don't turn it off now)

Carla secretly grips the sword pattern so that Loran doesn't notice.
