Transported to a hyper-realistic RPG.

Me and Nil take care of the players and we'll definitely do something about it.

Therefore, Surakutan decided to create an escape route while dealing with the bandits, not the players.

This is not overprotection, and it is the best solution when considering the mood of Surakutan.

"Me and Nil head for the enemy."I want you to find a thin section of their siege and push through it.Think of a breakthrough in battle, if you have to. ”

"All right, I'll do my best."

If you can make a good breakthrough, send a signal to Heine and Pilte in the village.

"I'll send a signal after the escape is complete."To Shinya-kun and Nil-san. "

"Oh, thank you."

"... Well then, I'll go."Be careful, both of you. "

Yeah.

Yes.

That's all Sura-Tan says, he breaks up with us and runs away.

Nilu and I split up, then headed for the bandit assembly point and the village's halfway point.

According to Suraitan, the troops were already close to departure, and it would be too late to make their way to the assembly point.Dawn the Holy Soul Magic wherever it is gathered!If I had ended up shooting in, it would have been easier...

At first, there was still a possibility, and if a hundred people were moving together towards the middle point, they would crush the sacred soul with magic, but otherwise, they would move to crush their heads.

So Nil and I rushed to the halfway point.

The midpoint is near the entrance of the forest in the hidden village.When Nil and I arrived, there were no people around and it was quiet.

"... have you already entered the forest?"

"... no. I'm afraid he's just not here yet."

Is that so?

"When I entered the forest, I saw twigs, weeds, and fallen leaves.Those things leave a trail.The opponent is a professional who hides such traces, and I don't know if they will erase the traces over time, but it's hard to believe that they have erased the traces in this short time.Then I think the only thing left is that they haven't come yet... ”

Are you seeing any traces… Master Liu is the stone!

"No, I don't think so.Recently, I've just been listening to Heine and Pilte and studying a lot of secret and tracking tricks, and it's just the beginning.If the other person is like a black dog or a hand, they will move without leaving any trace, and I don't have enough eyes to find them. "

According to the hand of the professional, it is well known that the secret of his past was a child trick.

What?! Do you even care about that?!There was also a lot of content that I wanted to say.

"Fufufu. After all, Master always spares no effort in trying his best."My master is the strongest. "

When it comes to me, Nil becomes very activated in joy and sadness.If anyone is happy with their efforts so far, they will have to be motivated... they will definitely want to do their best.

"Nil. Let's plant some trap magic."I don't know how the opponent moves, but it's better than nothing. "

Got it.

"Besides, even if there is a magic medicine, don't rely too much on magic."If the opponent has a player, the stats must be high.No matter how much Nil is targeted at the moment you try to use your magic, you won't be able to finish it.Use items to assemble your attack. ”

"Yes, I understand."

After installing some Trap Magic near the entrance to the forest, you'll begin to see people in the direction of the bandits' rally point, to the east.

"Here we are."

Nil hides in the shadow of the tree and turns her attention to the bandits who are approaching us.

That's a bad formation...

The bandits that appeared from the east were in pairs, and they were in a formation that took a great distance from each other.

Speaking of bandits, let's all be dumplings!I wonder if that's the case... The breakdown of the five is divided into front, center, and rear guards, and although the weapons and composition used by each group are different, each group seems to be distributed in a balanced manner.

And the five of them as one group, not too close, but not too far apart.Damage is kept to a minimum even if a large amount of magic is struck.Still, it's an easy distance to cover other groups.

Is this the formation that the bandits came up with?

"No. No, that's one of the formations that players use."

There are many battle scenes in the Van der Jeu game, such as large dungeons, battles with powerful enemies, and many monsters.

For me who was a solo player, I was not very familiar with the formation, but I had participated in things like Raid, and I had a lot of knowledge.

There seemed to be a lot of formations, but they changed a lot depending on the purpose, and I don't remember all of them.However, the formation that the bandits are taking now must have been one of the most popular among players.

When it comes to formation, you might think of the crane-wing formation, the Phalanx formation, etc., but in Van der Ju's game, such formation is quite unusual.

It seemed like a large clan had a lot of members and used such large formations, but in the world of Van der Ju, it was unusual for such a large number of players to gather.

The reason was simple: there were many people who were partying and playing with friends.

The big clan was famous in Van der Ju's game, but there were overwhelmingly more people playing without belonging to that clan.I know the reason is different, but I want to enjoy the world of Van der Jeu with people I like and no one I care about.Isn't that the truth?

As a result, there are very many parties of about three to five, at most less than ten, and each party acts as a party rather than a clan.

Now, let's say that in this situation, a large clan hosts Raid, and there are a lot of parties there.Is it possible to disassemble each party, regroup, and teach and practice formation...?I'm sure you won't be able to ask anyone.If we heard that the collected party would be disassembled just because it was in-game, most people would leave.Anyway, if you die, it's all a lost game.Few people choose to join the raid away from the people they've enjoyed together.It was obvious that only a little thought could be given to that, and in raids such as those hosted by the clan, each party often took a formation that did not interfere with each other, but kept a distance to provide support.Still, if you were a good player, you would be quite attacking in one party, and most raids were successful.

The tactics of seeing this party as a single unit are often used by adventurers, but unlike the NPC, there is no risk to your life.

All loss involves mental distress, but it is not death, so somehow the relationship within the fellows and the parties do not match each other.

The adventurer NPC will not complain if he deconstructs the party because his life is at stake, but if he decides that the party is less likely to die.But the players are different. The difference is whether the criterion is life or not.

In other words, the formation divided into these parties is synonymous with players in a sense.

“Does that mean… someone from the player is involved?”

"I don't know if I'm on this battlefield, but... I think I should take action thinking I'm there."

“Okay. So… where is the one we should be after?”

The bandits heading into the woods are spreading quite large from north to south.I had a long formation from the north to the south, and I continued westward.

Further west beyond the hidden village, you will eventually reach the sea.Unless they are not Fishmen, those who are driven to the west will be stranded there.

Actually, I'm not even going to let the northern and southern ends roll out to encircle each other.

On the escape side, you have to go north or south and get out before the siege is complete, or you have to make a hole somewhere to get out.However, most of those who escaped were slaves and non-combatants.A lot of people don't have their health back, and they're slow to escape.Knowing that, the bandits are going to build a siege slowly and gently.

If we get that far, we can figure out where the head that commands this siege is.The center of the right and the left. In other words, the slowest advancing troops.

Perhaps the troops around here are giving the orders for this formation.

Look ahead, Nil.

Not far from our position, but far enough away to launch an attack.

So, if we take out the troops around here, will that be the end of it?

"No, I don't think so.It's the center of this formation, and there's probably no one there to target. ”

With a little thought, we can quickly figure out where the person who is leading the formation is.It's hard to think of putting your head in such an easy-to-understand place.If this was a soldier, I'd be in a place where it's easy to grasp for various reasons, such as the pride of a soldier, so my people can understand it, but it's a bandit.Even those who fought in Ponatala were in the opposite battle style, and I didn't think they would honestly assume the formation.Even if there was a player, he would have been in this world for ten years and had settled down to be a bandit, so he shouldn't have any honest thoughts, so it's the same thing.

"That means... you have to find out where you are, right?"

"Yeah. It's not like I can tell just by staring. Let's reduce the number of opponents and see how they get out."I don't think there are many people heading to the village. "

Got it.

"First from the people nearby."Basically, it's a hit-and-go. ”

I'm going to hurt you, and I'm going to pull you back before I get hurt...!

"That's right, Nil. Leave the back to me."I'll take care of my back. "

Yes! Leave it to me!

Nil uses a hammer to tie up her hair, and then holds a small shield and a small sword.There is no colour of anxiety.

A group of our enemies are closing in on our hideout.

Twenty or more parties of five people in total.I don't know how far I can scrape it, but I'll do what I can.

Tan!

From the woods, Nil ran ahead.I'll be two meters behind you.

As you can see from the back, Nil's ability to grasp the battlefield was already quite high.

A pair in front of me.Largely to the right and deep, and a pair to the left.

If you slash into the party in front of you in this situation, the left and right parties will definitely enter the cover first.When that happens, it will inevitably take the form of fifteen against two.With me and Nil, the difference in numbers doesn't make much sense.With magic, swordsmanship, divine power in my case, and sacred soul magic, you don't have to be afraid.What is important here is the number and location of the rear guards built into the three pairs.When we slash in, the center and left and right party guards can attack far ahead of the rendezvous.Moreover, from our perspective, magic and arrows will fly from three directions.For once, the defensive magic of the granting type was hung, but if magic and arrows came one after the other, they were no longer in combat.

If we use magic, we can fight without any problems... but what Nil thinks is probably the trap magic we installed earlier.Two enemies suddenly appeared.Enemies running in front of you attack with their swords while using items.Naturally, they fought back, but the two of them returned to the woods as if they had been struck by a shoulder.It would look like that from the opponent's point of view.

When that happens, if we are the type of people who use magic to fight, we will naturally be vigilant about trap magic.However, items and swordsmanship were used.

I deliberately used stretching items to attack with my sword technique without shooting into magic, even though I had already taken the lead.From these two points, the bandits subconsciously judge that I and Nil don't use magic as a means of attack.If there was no magic, I would chase them down without fear.Then it protrudes and catches on to the trap.If you know that a trap is in place, the other groups won't easily try to get in front of you.It was carved into my consciousness that I shouldn't protrude from the formation.As a result, the overall progression is slowed down.

Thinking so far, it turns out that Nil is not magical after popping out, but that items can have the highest effect by performing visual obstruction on the left and right parties.

While talking to me and until she jumps out, Nil thinks so far, she takes the smoke ball out of the hip bag and throws it at a position that blocks the view of the left and right parties.

Bombombomb!

Without asking me, I take the actions that I think are the most effective, and I believe from the bottom of my heart that I can read them.Normally, I wonder if my thoughts are communicated, and I look back, and I think that about half of my consciousness is turned backwards.However, Nil's consciousness is facing 100 percent forward.Behind me, I'm sure I can handle it.Of course, I'm not betraying that trust.

I take the bottle out of the hip bag and throw it at the bandits from behind Nil.

Enemy!

One of the back guards shouted so they could hear them, and I felt the people around me react to it.

Perhaps you've gathered people with good skills, but they're quick to respond.If you don't close the distance at once and pull back immediately, you'll be surrounded.

Parynx!

I threw two bottles.One of them was struck with a shield by the shield of the front guard, while the other was slashed down with a sword by one of the middle guards.

"Hey, what is this?!"

I threw a sticky bottle.Even the explosion bottle and the poisonous smoke bottle were good, but if they suddenly showed too much overwhelming power, the opponent's vigilance would be stronger than necessary.With so many of them spreading out, we have to fight in a way that pulls us in to a certain extent.In other words, we want to limit ourselves to causing only small-scale damage.

Another thing. Using non-lethal items may give the opponent more leeway and lighten our performance.If that happens, it'll be profitable.

"Damn it! I can't use my weapon!"

The sticky spores wrap around the sword and cover the blade.I wouldn't be able to neutralize it, but I could stay in the loop.

"It's the two of them! Don't be so careful!"

Looks like Nil and I are out of line for Handyman's main unit.It may be natural to say that it involves a black dog, but in the future, disguising it may not make much sense.

Oraa!

Boom!

The man with the shield of the front and the straight sword pushed out the shield with his left hand against the approaching Nil.It was a man of the Beastman clan, and his body was huge.With Nil's physique, no matter how much he scratched his feet, he lost with power.It is not a good idea to meet properly.Of course Nil knew that.

Shake the protruding shield to the left, invite the shield to move, and then move it to the right to flow.

The avant-garde man opened his eyes in surprise at Nil, who was passing beside the shield.It was probably the first time I had been attacked so easily.

"Still...?!"

Giggle!

My cherry blossom sword ran against the man who pulled back his shield and tried to attack Nil.

While pulling back his shield, he tried to shake it at Nil, but the shield touched the tip of the sword I had pushed out, killing him at the right time.

Nil's eyes turned towards the straight sword user who was already standing behind the man with the shield, completely ignoring the man who was the shield.

The man with the shield understands that he is the wall character of this party, and he is trying to do something about Nil, but I should have left Nil to the four people behind me and turned my attention to me.

If a man with a shield had focused on me instead of Nil, I might have had a few seconds to make it, but it's a later festival.

Shhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

Quickly pull back the tip of the shield and thrust it to another location.Aim for the man's carotid artery.The tip of the cherry blossom sword progressed through the man's neck with almost no resistance, and the left half of his neck was cut open.

Bushwhoo!

When the carotid artery is cut and the blood bleeds out, the man with the shield rests his hand on his neck and flutters.

If you had trusted your people and looked at me, you wouldn't have been killed so easily.Well, I don't have any feelings of pity.

Leaving the shielded man to me, Nil came forward one by one, and even though she could get the attack from that spot, she dared to slip her body to the side and move diagonally in front of the straight-sworded man.

In terms of behavior, I just took a big step and moved, but this changes the complexion of the remaining three people.

Nil was standing in a position where she could not cover herself because she was wearing a straight sword when looking at the other guard and the two rear guards.If you attack badly, you can either involve allies or only take damage from the worst allies, leaving your enemies unharmed.Naturally, since I couldn't do such a stupid thing, the wizards and bowmen in the rear guard were looking at Nil to aim, but I couldn't do it, so I hesitated to attack.
