Aldis and Nicole were fighting a flock of demons. Deputy commanders were watching the war on the walls surrounding the city of Leytin.
"It seems we can win somehow"
A voice starts from behind the Deputy Commander. Looking back, a man with long dark brown hair was smiling with a nice smile.
Although the man is dressed in leather armor and armed, he is not a fighter at all costs. Judging from his slender body and his age in his mid-thirties, he knows that he is a person who usually lives without fight.
Obviously out of place. That was exactly what it was to say in one word.
"Oh, fortunately."
The Deputy Commander will speak minimally. You want to get rid of your curse and turn it back, but that's not the case.
The man is called Julis. He is also the chairman of Zimbaril Shokai, one of the so-called big shops in Leiting.
Of course, there is no problem if a man named Julis is fighting for a militia. But he did not come to this place to fight, but only to assess the situation. There is no reason to be armed other than to protect yourself.
No matter how much you are armed, you can't help coming to the dangerous battlefield with sight. However, Zimbaril has been the one to offer all-out cooperation since then.
In addition to providing supplies, he has offered himself to engage mercenaries contracted by the firm in subjugation battles. Strong The mercenaries are all known across countries. The battlefield is driven by human dominance, but its dominance only depends on their presence.
At the forefront, mercenaries such as "Free Cloud", "Dragon Swordsman", "Guidance of Spirits", and "Red Sanken" are called by Zimbaril Shokai. If they hadn't come to Raitin in a timely manner, if Zimbaril hadn't allowed me to join the defeat army ... it wouldn't have been a fight to win. That's why Julis's selfish behavior could not be blamed.
A bitter look can be seen from the surrounding soldiers and mercenaries. For them, it would be irritating just to have someone who is not willing to fight.
However, military leaders and the state have praised the cooperation of Zimbaril. In addition, the story that the company was actively cooperating with the suppression forces was spreading to the public, noting where it came from. The voice of praise of the firm's decision is unexpectedly loud.
Even better, the voice will be even bigger when this battle ends in victory. I'm sorry for soldiers and mercenaries on the scene, but being angry doesn't mean you can get rid of them.
"The mercenaries seem to be doing their job well. Thank you for your help."
But the deputy commander keeps on saying, wondering.
"Even though there are fewer flying beasts, it's dangerous here. Why don't you let us fight and return to the city?"
"No, don't worry. I think it's annoying, but I'm really worried about where the fight is going. There are escorts as well."
Julis glances at the man behind him. The man is probably a mercenary. Unlike Julis, there was a unique atmosphere of the fighter.
No matter how much strength you have on the battlefield, it won't get in the way. The more mercenaries alone, the less sacrifices for soldiers and militia. As far as escorts, it's better to have Julis calm down in a safe place and let mercenaries go to the battlefield. I couldn't say it in my mind.
The Zimbaril firm has sent a large number of mercenaries to the suppression army, postponing their convenience. It's just a famous man. The evil forces may be told by the public to push for more cooperation.
"It seems that the monsters have also been cleared."
"Oh, yeah."
Trends As Julis puts it, the battlefield was already there. Most of the demons have been defeated, and the beasts are being driven out by soldiers and militia who have made the numbers speak for themselves. Naturally, there are casualties on allies, but they are still good as a result of being attacked by thousands of beasts, including demons. It is inevitable that the deputy commander has relaxed.
But things did not end as he expected. Mercenaries who have defeated many monsters and seemed to have no enemies on their way. When an unfamiliar demon appears before it, the deputy commander who is convinced of victory will witness incredible things.
The demon resembled a bipedal reptile. It looks like a larger disparity. The color is bluish gray. The forefoot is not visible, and something is on the head instead.
The swordsman's body, which jumped at the first victory, was captured by a demon, and the next moment, the surroundings were colored with red flowers made from humans. “Guiding the Spirit,” who was confused even from a distance, had no time to rebuild his posture, and was captured by the attacking monsters one after another and stained with blood.
It was a nightmare. A strong man who defeats many monsters and names himself throughout the continent is a victim of unilateral slaughter. Everyone doubted their eyes, but even if they rub their eyes or stare, the only thing that appears on the retina is the unacceptable reality.
"Well, no way ... like that ..." Guidance of the Spirit "is unilateral ..."
Someone muttering incredibly, echoing strangely on the silenced wall.
Julis was impatient. That's because the situation was completely unexpected.
Born as the son of a famous wizard, Julis has no talent for using magic or magic. Julis, who had been treated as a failure by his father, was blessed with business talent instead.
He flew out of his parents' house and started doing business in Leiting, and his ransom grew in tanton, and now he has set up a trading company as one of Leitin's largest stores. Father's items brought out of the collectors without permission were very useful for business.
After all I want to look back at my father. I look down on my father who treated me as a failure, saying that your eyes were a hole, and that you are a man living only in a magical narrow world. That alone is the support and driving force of Julis.
Nobody knows Julis's Zimbaril firm in Leiting. It's one of the big stores right now, but if you gain fame and support, your position in Ratingin will be solid. I want something for that.
So I came up with this scheme.
A tool called "" which was brought out from the family's home seems to have been discovered at an ancient archeological site when his father was young. As the name of the incense is called "incense," it is said that it emits a special smell to attract beasts and demons, and can attract beasts and demons. But the smell is so faint that humans feel odorless. There was almost no magical power, so there was no worry about using it.
Looking at the large number of beasts attracted by the magical incense, the humans of Ratingen fall into chaos from top to bottom. Therefore, the renowned mercenaries who had been hired in the name of another request in advance are made to cooperate with the suppression forces. It is also voluntary by the firm. The more mercenaries they do, the more loud they will be to praise Zimbaril.
By releasing weapons and materials stored at the firm for free, the firm's reputation will surely increase. Losses arising from free donations can be recovered by selling catalyst ores, herbs, and remedies at high prices. There are many ways to get to the market without giving the name of Zimbaril.
Even if the loss is not filled, it is worth it. In the future, neither the country nor the army will be able to handle the Zimbaril firm under the umbrella, and officials have already taken steps to give them preferential treatment over other firms. Eventually, Litte and Rovel firms were absorbed. It turned into a giant business that oversaw Leitin, and reached out to his home city-state.
"What does it mean……"
Julis mutters asking if she can reach the escort nearby.
Until recently, things were going as expected by Julis. The mercenaries hired by Julis performed incomparably compared to other mercenaries and military soldiers. Lion's Strike The other mercenaries easily defeated the struggling monsters and were indeed the core of the suppression army.
The mercenary had been kicked in front of a sudden appearance of a monster. A corner of the battlefield. Julis looks stunned at the place stained with Blood of the Spirits. No, not just Julis. Both the deputy commander and other soldiers were standing in such a way that even the mercenaries were incredible.
In the meantime, the first to move were the Dragon Swords fighting near the Guide for the Spirit. Perhaps he had decided that he was not a good partner. Immediately after slaughtering the demons they were fighting, they are ready to fight against the gray demons.
As the people on the wall took a breather and watched, the victory and defeat came to a close. The gray monsters did not support the attacks of the "Dragon Convoys" and began unilaterally killing them.
The sword has been flipped, and the magic of the fireball doesn't seem to have hurt either. On the other hand, the demon attack surely killed "Dragon Swords" one by one. Toss With an agility that doesn't suit the giant, "Dragon Swordsman" is made good and reddish one by one. After seeing the situation, Freedom Cloud and Red Sanken are rushing to join, but the Dragon Swords are unlikely to endure until they arrive.
(Unpalatable……)
If this is done, the plan will be ruined. While the surroundings are stunned, Julis quietly disappears from the wall with an escort.
Julis didn't intend to call on him. What is needed is a situation that the mercenaries can cope with, and in the absence of mercenaries the situation can be anticipated. They don't need a strong enemy that mercenaries can't cope with.
(It is unexpected that magical incense is called up to that ...!)
Remaining impatient, Julis quickly jumped back to the building.
He has been successful in selling the name of Zimbaril and increasing his presence. The results are good, but if Raitin's defense fails, he has no money. It will be necessary to cut off the effect of magical incense as soon as possible.
"What is the monster you just saw?"
While heading to the warehouse behind Zimbaril, Julis asks an escort mercenary.
"Okay ... I've been a mercenary for a long time, but I saw that for the first time."
The mercenary returns a completely blank answer.
Julis shuts her mouth asking if you can win. Certainly, this mercenary is decent. But not as much as the renowned mercenaries who took part in the suppression forces. It would be a waste of time to ask if the Spirit Guide or the Dragon Veteran did not have a hand or foot to win.
"Anyway, we have to stop the magical incense early. Damn, it was just as planned up to now ...!"
In addition to the escort, Julis took an elderly man who had been away, and Julis headed into the warehouse behind the premises, where the magical incense was located.
