"Luchel!"
A girl reacts to Aldis's voice.
The hand had a sword supplied just like Ardis, but the obvious waist was a realistic representation that it was just a pose.
The two men began to distance themselves by pinching Luchel.
You both know that the prey in front of you is an amateur in battle.
"I'm first."
"I know."
I was chasing Luchel with an unpleasant smile as to what order he was talking about.
Ardis felt an unknown aversion to the appearance and slashed it from behind against a fragmented enemy.
Gyaaa!
I don't suppose you were aware of Aldis's presence.
The sword, which has finally become familiar with hands in the past few days, slashes and tears the back of a completely defenseless enemy, inflicting fatal wounds with a single blow.
The man on the other side finally recognizes the presence of Aldis, but it's too late.
It was just a moment before I realized that Ardis was here and turned my attention to us.
Even that was a fatal gap in this situation.
Ardis is not a wartime mercenary.
But I instinctively feel that it is necessary to strike at this moment without being taught by anyone.
"Jesus Christ!"
Keeping the momentum of slashing off the first enemy, the remaining enemies fill the distance in a short time before turning their eyes to Aldis, and when they pull the sword to their knees, they push the handle with one hand and throw a thrust.
Ghhh!
An Ardis thrust through his throat faster than the enemy waved down his sword.
Following the sound of air slipping, blood spills out of the enemy's mouth, and at the same time, blood splashes up vigorously from his throat.
"Hih...!"
Looking at a man bleeding to death in front of him, Luchel took a breath.
Ignoring falling enemies while creating a bloody cloud, Ardis called out to Luchel.
"Are you hurt?"
"Uuu...!"
The words of Ardis seemed to have gone unheeded, and Luchel began to vomit when she touched the ground.
Maybe it's the first time I've seen a man die.
If so, it won't be impossible.
Aldis stopped at once wondering what had happened to her.
I can't remember that kind of memory anymore.
There's nothing upsetting about killing people, just a past like HR.
Has it faded or is it a long time ago?
I didn't have the means to know, and I didn't want to know.
"Luchel"
"Uhh, uhh... I'm sorry..."
A weak apology comes back when you come to me.
"You don't have to apologize. Let's go."
Seems terrible, but I couldn't afford to wait for her to calm down now.
"Running away?"
"There is no escape."
Although there is some self-defense, only non-combatants are originally here.
We don't know where the enemy is, but at least it's bigger than ourselves.
I didn't think there were more powerless beings on this battlefield than they were hiding to avoid the battle.
When he forced Luchel to stand up, he pulled his arm and ran into the trees.
"Who else?"
"I don't know."
Aldis answers Running to Luchel, who cares about the back.
Half genuinely and half deceived.
A night raid suddenly took place while sleeping.
Of course, Aldis doesn't fully understand the surrounding situation.
We didn't know who the enemy was, how many it was targeting, and we were sure that the battle was going on, but we didn't know whether it was a disadvantage or whether it was holding up.
But at the same time, I chose to escape because I knew that no matter what I thought, I would be destroyed when I fought like that.
I don't know if I can escape.
There must be a better chance of survival than staying in that place.
Conversely, the fate of the remaining companions in that place is unimaginable.
That's why Ardis ran away from Luchel's question in a word he didn't understand.
"He ran away!"
"There must have been a woman!"
A voice approached me as if I were chasing Aldis.
Apparently, the enemy was not going to miss us.
"Have you been chasing me?"
Turning around and checking the direction of the voice, they ran through the woods.
I still can't see the chaser, but I heard at least four voices.
It would be too reckless for the two of you to intercept after only a few days of swordsmanship.
Fortunately, unlike the previous escape, there is no physical anxiety due to eating and sleeping.
In addition, Luchel is running more firmly than before because he was also able to build strength at the same time as the hand of the sword.
If you hide behind a chase, Grace and the others will come back.
As long as we can get out of here, we win.
As he ran, Aldis ran his eyes around him.
When you find a hole in the roots of a tree where everyone can hide, you push Luchel's body into it.
"Luchel, you stay here."
"What about Aldis?"
Quickly collect dead branches and fallen leaves from the surroundings and cover them with a cave.
"Become a decoy and guide them in a different direction."
"Why am I the only one!?"
"Either way, we can't hide together at this size."
The hole is as big as Luchel can hide himself.
In addition, it is difficult to hide it in a limited amount of time.
But if Ardis gets into trouble and runs away, the chaser can't afford to look at us.
The moonlight is only slightly inserted into the night forest.You won't find Luchel's hidden hole if you don't keep an eye on him.
"After a full day, think I'm dead when I'm not back."
Luchel watches over the words like other HR.
"Grace and the others will be back soon.Don't move much until then. "
Luchel shook his voice as he told Ardis indifferently.
"That's how Ardis is all about herself...."
There is only a little angry emotion in those eyes.
"Because I'm a girl? That's why I have to protect you."
"People with places to go should be saved.It is better for someone worthy of living to survive.That's it. It's not about men or women. "
Luchel wonders whether Aldis's answer was unexpected or if his black eyes are puzzled.
"Stop talking."
Without waiting for a response from Luchel, Aldis leaves the tree.
The direction was determined from the voice of the chaser, and the pace proceeded slowly.
Walking at an adjusted angle to keep the chaser away from Luchel's hidden hole, a powerful voice came from behind.
"There he is, there he is!"
Confirming that the chaser had noticed us, Ardis rushed out in a hurry.
"Go ahead!"
He raised his voice as if he had a companion ahead of him, and he changed his course further to the right.
"They're over there too!"
"Split up!"
A chaser caught up in a miscellaneous act threw half at Aldis and the other half at the back of the empty forest.
There are three chasers approaching Aldis.
The same three people ran in the direction of nothing.
At least for the time being, Luchel was safe, and Ardis ran through the woods.
Now that you are in good health, a chaser of about three people will be able to shake it out without any problems.
But Ardis soon realized that it was just pride.
Ardis, who dared to run a certain distance in order to pull the chaser away from Luchel, turned a blind eye to the presence of earthen walls that suddenly appeared to prevent him from going.
Ha!?
Though the speed was slowed down quickly, the momentum could not be killed, and Ardis collided with the earth wall and hit his whole body.
"What...?"
When I tried to stand by whipping my painful body, I was struck by a hammer from the side of my body.
"Gah!"
For a moment, his body floated from the ground and was blown to the side with the momentum of impact.
Intense pain across the body strikes Ardis.
While I can't breathe satisfactorily, my enemies catch up before I get up.
"Hey, what's up, kid?"
"Is the woman over there? I don't think so."
"Let's do this and meet over there."
As Aldis raised his face as he endured dizziness, the men with the swords and daggers looked down at us.
I can't move my arm.
I didn't hear you say that your whole body was numb.
The sword that you were supposed to have left your hand sometime, and there was nothing else you could call a weapon.
"Damn it...."
With a sword, I would have been able to take one with me, and my carelessness grew up.
On the other hand, Ardis noticed that he seemed to be satisfied.
At least this is how we managed to attract our pursuers.
Even if I end up here, it doesn't mean that Luchel escaped the chase.
If Grace and the others come back, they won't be able to take on such a small unit.
Lucky for us, Luchel should be able to protect us.
I wonder if that would create a little value for my meaningless life.
Ardis' cheeks are loose.
"What is this kid? Are you out of your mind?"
"Nnakotaaa, do it now."
The pain has subsided a little.
You may just be paralyzed, but it doesn't matter to Aldis.
If it doesn't stop you from forcing your body to move, that's fine.
One of the chasers raised his sword.
Aldis snuggles in the sand.
So I assembled the procedure just inside my head.
Avoid rolling down the sword, throw the sand over your eyes, and kick your crotch up.
After that, there was a match.
If you succeed in stealing a sword, cut one down and throw it away.
I don't think I can beat two men with weapons without moving their bodies properly, but I'll hurt them as much as I hurt them.
In an instant, Ardis stared at the enemy man as he went through his thoughts.
At that time.
The sword that was about to be swinging down to Ardis's neck was thrown off with a high-pitched sound.
"What about it?"
Ardis wasn't the only one who couldn't swallow the situation.
He also suddenly lost his sight by searching for the missing sword.
While Aldis was also confused about the situation, the man's neck was now ripped off and the blood danced.
Ardis saw it then.Behind the man's neck, a swinging sword floating in the air without a hand.
"Wait, enemy!?"
The two remaining chasers flew a vigilant gaze at the surroundings, but nowhere to be seen.
"Be careful, I'm a swordsman!I don't know where they're coming from! "
A man intercepts a sword that floats in space while sending warnings to his allies.
A sword held by a man crossed a sword without a hand.
Two or three shots and the man launches the attack, and the sword returns the attack.
The flying swords exchanged sword fire with the man's sword brought the illusion to Ardis as if the invisible hand were on the spot.
A man chased by a single dagger is fooled.
Naturally, with the addition of another sword, the result would have been more obvious than looking at fire.
"Wow!"
Unable to cope with the hassle, the chaser's man is finally pierced by a flying sword.
Chi!
There was also a sword on the last one.
When the man, who seems to be using a dagger, puts his free hand in the air, the earthen wall suddenly appears in a space that had nothing before.
From the front to where the knife that had been slashed was blocked by the earthen wall, a rock mass flew from nowhere.
A chunk of rock struck directly and a broken sword fell to the ground.
It was a dagger in the form of a reward, but the surroundings were already surrounded by similar daggers.
As expected, it was impossible to use multiple simultaneous daggers, but suddenly the dagger fell to the ground and fell down.
"Fly... sword...?"
Releasing Aldis's body from the life-threatening danger.
Suddenly, he endured the pain and looked at the flying sword that was floating around him.
"Are you okay, Ardis?"
I wonder when I was getting close.
The name of the person peeking into his face is weakly spilled from his mouth as he leans over to the side of the lying Ardis.
"Grace...?"
Have you been subjected to magic?Hey! Somebody help him! "
If you notice, Aldis is surrounded by multiple figures.
I don't know their names, but they're all faces I've seen in the mercenary regiment.
Perhaps the main squad has returned.
"Lou, Shell... alone... in the hole of the tree..."
"The wooden cave? Okay, we're gonna find some people.So you stay in bed. "
Aldis nodded little at Grace's strange and reassuring words.
On his feet, Grace leaves Aldis to others to take care of, and begins to give instructions to his people.
"Darwat, take about 30 men to the non-combatant camp!Joan's coming with me to clean up the perimeter and find his people!There may be an ambush of magicians, always in pairs - "
Grace's farther away voice flows into the boundary between dreams and the present.
While wishing Luchel well, Ardis let go of his consciousness.
