After extinguishing the lantern fire and being wrapped in complete darkness, after a while, five lights emerge from the direction Heine and the others said.Five people. Once again, I was impressed by the vampire clan's superior five senses.

"Looks like the leader is at the forefront."

"Do you want to catch that?"

"Oh, I'd love to catch the other one if I could..."

"It's a pretty dense formation..."

The light is swinging almost next to each other, gradually approaching.

Apparently, there are two wounded people lending their shoulders and two walking in front of them.This is a natural place, but except for those who are injured, they draw their swords and are always drooling.Everyone has a straight sword.It's not a bad sword, but it doesn't seem expensive.

Although the injured person is walking on his own feet, his side is dyed bright red and he seems to be bleeding a lot.

I get the impression that I'm lost rather than forced to march.

Noble is based around here, and many of its members have been in the lush forest before, and will be less lost.However, if you look at it for the first time and go deep without guidance, most people must be lost.If this place was terribly dark, and if we moved poorly, we wouldn't know right or left, we would have seen it from the outside, and we thought we could afford it.

They moved to the midpoint of the forest, so even if they were injured, they should be there.That's why they thought they were strong, and they must have come more and more along the way.

And when they realized that their thoughts were sweet, one of them was wounded in the hand, lost his sense of direction due to the turbulent battle at that time, and went further into the depths...

They're so stupid. Become a skilled adventurer and thoroughly investigate the topography of the quest destination and the distribution of monsters.Because we know it's going to be our lifeline.

Lenya, who had moved from Ouka Island to the mainland, had first and foremost checked the situation around them.Power scouting is essential.They failed to do so.That's the way it is. You deserve it.

I'm impressed that you're a bandit and you're not abandoning the wounded, but that's not why we're doing this.

"It looks like Heine-san and Pilté are breaking up on the left and right, aiming for the two people who are helping the injured person."

Looking from the top, you can see the black shadow slowly circling around the nearest position where the light reaches,

"Then Nil and I are the two in front of each other.I wish I could catch them both alive... "

A few scratches are fine, right?

"There will be no problem as long as it is healed with the wound medicine.However, when you look at the behavior of standing, the two people in front of you seem to be stepping on the number of places.Worst case scenario, let only the leader man live and kill the other one.Don't use magic. sensed. "

"Got it."

Nil, who is in the dark and can't see his face, feels like he's pulling through War Hua.

Just in case, I use a fake ring and Nil changes her hair color black.I have no intention of letting you escape, but insurance is important.

"I'll match Heine and Pilte's movements."First, I suppress my head and paralyse my chain of command. "

"It's an ideal way to attack, but if you're trying to help your people, they should be able to work together properly."Even if you succeed in dropping the leader, don't lose your temper. "

"Yes."

No matter what kind of party, a really strong party is a party where there is no one leader.

There is only one primary leader, who basically gives instructions and follows them around.That's the basics, but a mere obedient member can't be a party like a top player.

If it is a force of a few dozen people, the story will change, and if it is a genius leader, the members who just obey may work better, but it is usually different.Party is based on four or five people.When trying to defeat enemies efficiently with that number of people, each must move at its own discretion.

Even without a leader, a party where each has the ability to replace the leader is stronger and more troubling than imagined.

That's why I'm always telling Nil to think and move himself.

And if we can do it, we must always keep in mind that the other party can do it.

I don't know how sophisticated a bandit can be, but I've never been more careful.As far as I can tell, they're more likely to collaborate than the Nobles.

Me and Nil set our sights on the leader, while Heine and Pilte wait for them to move.

Ambush is best suppressed in an instant while the opponent is surprised by a sudden attack.However, since the opponent does not want to die, there is only a few seconds left between surprise and the return of thoughts.If you're trained, it's only a few seconds, a second or two.

In other words, for Nil and I to get the best results, Heine and Pilte will have to carry out an ambush and then the bandits will be surprised, and then they will have to carry out a series of attacks for as little as a second.

Heine and Pilte also understand that.That's why they're moving a critical line that we can only recognize to make it easier for us to match the timing.

While waiting on the branch, check the two movements and wait until then.

When Heine and Pilte arrive in position and the bandits move a few metres from there, just between Heine and Pilte, there will be five bandits sandwiched.

At that moment, Heine and Pilte move.Having felt it, Nil and I could put our strength into our feet.

"I'm coming!"

Reading Heine and Pilte's breath, Nil and I kick the branches of the tree almost simultaneously.

Shh, shh, shh, shh, shh, shh, shh, shh, shh, shh, shh, shh, shh, shh, shh, shh, shh, shh, shh, shh, sh

Before we get back to the bandits, Heine and Pilte are attacking two people who owe their shoulders to the wounded.

They both reacted and sandwiched their swords against Heinet and Pilte's attacks because they always kept their vigilance at its highest level.

Haine's protruding shadow crow penetrates deeply into the chest of the man in his left hand.I reacted, but I didn't seem to be able to respond in time.The man Pilte attacked managed to keep up and play the shadow crow.

"Haha! Gono!"

Boom!

A man with his chest pierced shook his sword against Heine with a breathless voice.

Shit!

Boom!

The man facing Pilté also fights back as soon as he plays the attack.

Heine and Pilte both jump backwards to dodge the counterattack and plunge into the darkness.

What happened?!

The two men in the vanguard turned to surprise at the sudden disturbance.

"Hmm?!"

If there's a disturbance right behind you, anyone turns back.At that time, the alert to the front becomes significantly thinner in an instant.

Me and Nil land simultaneously in front of the leader, aiming for that gap.

Looking back, they realize that one of their comrades is newly wounded, and they realize it's an attack.So, for the first time, the vigilance returns and you finally notice us standing in front of you.

Gin!!

The leader man, realizing that we were in front of him with signs, waves his sword sideways as he turns around.But Nil, who was reading it, leaned against his shield, and put his sword up.

The sword swinging without seeing has no core, and is easily flushed up.

"Nh!!"

The leader still thinks he'll be killed if he doesn't attack, or he makes a fist with his free hand and tries to shake Nil's face down.

Dogo!

"Aaah!!"

I can't let Nil's face make blue bruises.

I stick the sheath of my sword right behind Nil, and it sticks out the leader's throat.The leader man with his throat crushed suffers with his eyes wide open.

From the man's eyes, I could only see Nil with his shield standing in front of me.

Because I stand directly behind Nil, I will overlap in the darkness, and you won't notice it in a second.

Then, the sheath of the sword suddenly appeared from the neck to scratch Nil's black hair.Few people should be able to avoid attacks, such as those that are sewn through the gap between the arms holding Nil's shield.

The leader's man with a throat was about to wave down, holding his throat down and stepping back two steps.

"This!!"

The other person beside us immediately turns to fight back against us.

Compared to the people in Noble, they are overwhelmingly effective, as can be seen from the movement so far.

Members who are alert to our signs, then undisputed attacks, and turn to counter-attack without confusion over being attacked by a leader.

It tells you exactly what you're used to fighting.It's not a fight against monsters, it's an interpersonal fight.

Ha!

Fuck!!

"Giiiiihh!"

But it's the same thing we're used to.Fighting the Knights of the Holy Order, an incident on Ouka Island, repeated bandit raids during the journey.There is no shortage of anti-personnel combat.

While moving to dive into the sheath remaining next to her face, Nil makes a sharp step into the man attacking from the side and closes the distance at once.Nil calmly sticks out a dagger against a man who looks stunned because he didn't think he would do such a move.The tip went straight to the man's two arms and pierced his right arm all at once.

Severe pain causes the man to scream and drop the sword he held in his hand.

"Haaa!!"

Gosha!!

With the dagger stuck in his arm, Nil swings the shield from the side toward the man's jaw.Not the flat part, but the edges.After a sound that sounded like the jaw was shattered, the man's legs twitched and sat down.Your brain is shaking and your limbs don't seem to be moving freely.Even if I could move it, it would take too much damage and I wouldn't be able to fight.

"Hah! Hah! Hah!"

The leader's man coughs dry and weeps from his bright red eyes, but still does not fall down and stands his sword back up.

I tried to stab him carefully so he wouldn't break his neck bones, but I wonder if he pulled his hand too far or if the leader's man's guts exceeded my expectations...

Shit!

At that moment, the man in the backguard who Heine pierced his chest fell.

The pierced part is bad and the heart seems to have stopped moving.

"Who... who is it?!"

The man who was dealing with Pilte shouted at that time.There are three men standing: the leader man, the screaming man, and the injured man.

"Are they the ones who attacked the Nobles?!"

…………………

I don't have a stepsister to answer, and even though this information may be leaked, there is no one here who opens his mouth lightly.

Even in this series of flows, Slatter didn't show up.Without looking behind, I followed the signs of Slush Tan, but apparently his legs didn't come forward.

It must have been too much of a journey for Slatan.

I recognize that, and the injured man decides that I want to kill him, and takes the sword back.

The number of bandits was smaller, but they didn't get knocked out and invaded.They're probably trying to earn some time to make a plan with the conversation.

However, as long as Heine and Pilte are around, their movements are somewhat limited.

I had no choice but to fight separately.The three of us fight with each other's backs protected.This will be the only strategy that we can compete against.However, it is desperate to lose its numerical advantage by ambush.

"Damn it... damn it!"

Knowing that we're not the kind of people to have wasted conversations, we begin to see despair in the faces of the bandits.

Put your backs together to make a triangle and wait for us to attack.

Buzz!

"Huh?!"

Kim!

Nil was the first one to move.

I threw my concealed throwing dagger at the most energetic man and earned Hate.

Were you expecting to be prevented from throwing a dagger? Nil ran out at the same time as throwing, and packed the distance at once.

"Nh!!"

Nil ran toward a healthy man, but suddenly changed direction and ran to the leader at a critical distance beyond the reach of the sword.

The leader was slightly delayed by the fact that he didn't expect to run towards him and the damage I took.

Gene! Gene!

If that happens, the energetic man will naturally aim his sword at Nil, but I will stop him.Nil's head, which kept her posture low, saw my cherry blossom sword and straight sword intersect, and a violent spark was scattered.

Gah!

Ha?!

When Nil tries to poke a dagger at the leader, the leader shakes his sword as he slashes his arm.

However, Nil's arm stops in the middle, turns his body tightly to avoid the blade, and uses his centrifugal force to remove the leader's foot from the back of his knee.

The leader's man won't even know he's been stamped.It's a smooth, natural movement.Nil's swordsmanship is rising every day.

When the leader man notices, his body lies down and starts to fall toward the ground.

Gwaaa!

A wounded man with a spicy blue face turns around and attempts to gain backup.

My sword holds back a healthy man, and Nil focuses on fighting his leader.I don't have enough arms.

Still, I could have done something about it.Match the swords, but not against us, to say the least.It's probably not the main force because it's an investigation team, and it's only five people, so it might not be the strength of the opposing bandits.

Anyway, I tried to deal with the injured man, but I stopped on the way.

Fuck!

Slatter suddenly appeared directly behind the wounded person who turned around.Although it is a fairly impossible expression, she is shaking up the dagger in her hand.

Shhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

Dagger, who was gripped in both hands and on the opposite hand, stabbed the injured person from both sides of his neck.

"What?!"

Until now, there was no sign of the other person.

It suddenly appeared behind me.

The injured man will not understand what happened.

Bushshshh!

The thruster pulls out the pierced dagger, but next runs the dagger like cutting the back of the head.

Bisha!

Blood ejected from the back of the cut head sticks to the right cheek of the slag.

Overkill.

In the first blow to the neck, the wounded man was already on the verge of being cut, and his weapon was falling out of his hand.

However, Slattan attacked the opponent who was still standing until he was completely dead.

It's no wonder.Normally, we don't know how much attack and damage people die.Even if you knew, you wouldn't be able to make a cool judgment because of the tension that makes you sweat cold.

Ginnh!

Because Slatan did his part, we need to get this over with.

I'll push back and play the sword I was receiving.

Kh!

A man with a straight sword shifted to the back and leaned back.

Because of the huge difference in physical status, they're swinging to my power.

"This"

Zashh!!

Still, the man who managed to regain his posture and swing his sword again completely forgot.

There are still two lurchers in the darkness that pervades us.

The face of a man who tried to force his arm to kill me.From that side, four shadow clowns pierce through to the other side.

"Ah... ah..."

Kashan!

When the straight sword that was swinging fell to the ground, the shadow owl was pulled out and the man dropped his knee on the spot.

The shadow that stabbed him was a Pilte that solved the melt darkness and wiped out the blood that was stuck to the shadow crow.

"Damn it!"

The last leader tries to stand up with his hands on the ground.After all, it was the leader who was left behind.Didn't plan on keeping the leader down first, but it would have been a good result.

Boogie!!

GAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

When the leader kicked the arm standing on the ground and Heine, who had emerged from the darkness, kicked hard, the elbow bent to the opposite side.

You can't hold a weapon with your hands like that. Drop your sword on the ground and roll over the ground.

"Be quiet."

Heine solves the melt darkness and looks down at the man with dark and cold eyes.

"Gwaaa! Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!"

The leader stood up with a face of anger, weeping and runny nose.

Gong!

A facial attack with a relentless Nil shield.

"Gu... ahh..."

Shit...

Completely unconscious, the leader falls on the spot.

In the end, no one gets hurt and the control is complete.

"Sinya, leave Slatan to me and Pilte."

"... okay."

What I immediately noticed was Slattan.

Without wiping back the blood, he firmly gripped the blood-dropping dagger and stood on the spot.

"Nil, I'll tie you both up alive."

"Yes."

While I tie Nil and the two of them up, I listen to Slade and Heine's conversation.

"Slatan, it's over. Relax, it's okay."

Heine stopped by the sludge and spoke with a gentle voice.

"Hmm?!"

Slatter jumped her shoulders and looked at Heine.

I'm about to cry, I'm about to throw up... and I don't really understand your expression.

”I... I...”

”Shinya-san and Nil-chan were about to be attacked, so they jumped out, right?”

"Eh...? Hmm, yeah..."

Heine accurately matches what Sura-Tan wants to say.

I can't return the words well, and Surakutan replies reluctantly.

"First of all, I need to get rid of my weapon before I can drop my blood..."

"Hmm... what...?"

That said, Slattan tries to let go of the weapon, but he can't let go of the weapon because his hand can't relax.
