Transported to a hyper-realistic RPG.

I don't think we can easily spot the other bandit bosses, but I don't think they've come to this battlefield.All bandits belonging to the Hunters' Larrabay are participating, so if this is a large-scale invasion operation, if the people who are the building do not come out, nothing will be organized.

I'm sure they'll be somewhere, but we'll need a little more information to make sure it's minor.

"As far as I can tell, the members were directing the slaves, and they didn't seem to know each other well."

I don't think it's that easy for the Bandits to show their faces...

“Thinking about it, Ganasaris seemed pretty confident.”

"I can tell that from what I say and what I do."

Have you seen where Puppet Homestead is? "

"That's... so unclear, isn't it?"

Heine puts her bent index finger on her chin and follows her memory.

How can I not be clear?

Yeah… Of the five, three looked at me, two saw Pilates, but I was the only one who could read the memories that seemed to lead to Honden.

Three of them? Isn't that pretty clear?

“No, that's why all three of them knew the place as their home.”

Separate places?

"Yes. To be precise, three locations west of where we fought Ganasalis and southwest of where we went from here to the southeast."

There are three of them...?

"No. There's only one Puppet building, and there's only one."The other two must be dummies. "

"You mean you teach slaves a lot of places?"You're pretty cautious. ”

"It is only natural that we should not be identified immediately."I think this is normal. "

"That's right... but if you're thorough with slaves, you know that I can read your memories, right?"

"Since the black dog is involved, it's probably not strange that something about vampires is being conveyed."

Even if there are people who can use special magic to read memories, even if they don't know whether it's a lie or a truth, the lords will be careful. "

Is that what you're trying to do to confuse us by manipulating the memories of slaves that stand out on the battlefield?

“You're trying to fool me, or you're trying to fool me… I don't think it's safe to trust what I've been told.”

But we don't have any other clues, do we?

"Would you like to try and figure out some people?"

“No, no matter how much you look at it, you'll only get the same information, and it won't make sense.”

"Nhh..."

Each one tries to come up with a solution, but no definitive plan comes up.

I don't feel like there is much time to think about it, but if I am going to travel to a place other than my own here, I will waste a lot of time.Now that the situation is already imminent, the temporal loss will be quite painful.

In order not to do so, it is necessary to narrow down here before leaving, but the information required for that narrowing is overwhelmingly insufficient.

As it is, there is a situation where you can't attack without attacking, and that alone will consume time.If it was going to consume more time, then it was time to look for other slaves and look for information.

"Nh...?"

My mistress watches the enemy soldiers flowing to the east gate of the city and narrows her eyes with some concern.

What's the matter?

"... if you look closely, are some people moving against the current?"

Master tells me to narrow my eyes and look at the waves of enemy soldiers, and I can certainly see some of those heading to the east gate who are moving against them.

And the number of them that went toward the east gate was much smaller, but they all went toward the north gate.

There are certainly some people heading for the north gate.

When I heard that the north gate had opened, did you turn back?

"Nnh....."

The mistress returns the vague words to Pilate and observes the enemy soldiers.

I see. Are there any common features among the people heading towards the north gate?

"Is it a common trait...?"

In response to Master's words, Heine with good eyesight and Pilte stared at the crowd.

"Characteristics... Characteristics..."

"... it doesn't seem to have any particular features, but..."

I see...

"Ah... no! Please wait!" You may have found it! Common traits! "

With that said, Pilate was even more eye-catching.

I see! Those who are heading towards the north gate are turning back after the man slave of that tribe passes!

That said, Piltee shows with his fingers in the crowd, but since the distant people are disturbed, my eyesight cannot confirm the male slave of the human race.But I think it's because Pilate says so.

"I don't see it, but I'm sure it does."

“Yes! No doubt about it!”

"I can confirm that, too."Surely you're turning back after a human male slave passed by.

Nevertheless... you've noticed, haven't you?It doesn't have to be a particularly prominent move. "

"That male slave, unlike the other slaves, is acting alone, so I was a little concerned to observe."

"I see... that male slave is probably a messenger or something."

If the man who is the messenger does not make a particularly prominent movement, the message must be a message, not a word, but a special method of transmission.

When those who received the news turn back, it can be predicted that they are Puppets because the messenger is a slave.Definitely, but extremely likely.

"Did the man who served as the messenger come from the north gate?"

"Yes. When I found him, he was heading from the north gate towards the east gate."

"If you think that the slave man is a message from the main army, at least the southeast side will be excluded."

Isn't that what you're after?

"Those who are turning back are confused by the crowd, and they are moving from the outside in a way that is difficult to tell, and they seem to be secretly conveying messages.If you look at it from someone you don't know, it's a pretty tough way to communicate, and I don't think it's likely to be a trap.

With such a tough method of transmission, the likelihood of being unnoticed is overwhelmingly high, so if you set a trap, you're choosing a slightly more unnoticed method of transmission. ”

"If that prediction had been met, it would have been Pilte-san's doing."

"I'm really glad you noticed."

Everyone admires Mr. Pilte.Certainly, it's something I wouldn't normally notice, and even if I had good eyesight, I wouldn't have noticed it.

It's a shame to be a rival. I can't afford to lose either.

"Good. Let's abandon the southeast side and head back to the north gate."

Do you know where it is? "

“Yeah, I think we'll know the approximate location.”

"Alright, let's hurry."

The distance we travelled to the east gate was minimal.If we just get back to the north gate, we'll be there in a few minutes.Then I checked two places and then crushed Puppet.

If both buildings were killed by the stones, the Tempestan Barabanta, who would be in charge of the whole thing, would not be able to remain silent.Currently, I have no idea where Barabanta is, but I will definitely pull her out and make her pay for all her sins.

Yes!

We hurried to the north gate.



A few minutes after extracting the information from the slaves and predicting that Puppet's main force would be in the north gate by Pilte's observation eye, we passed the place where Gana Saris had been defeated and headed further west.

Heine. How long will it be?

"It won't take more than five minutes."

Heine will answer my questions right away.I still don't see anything like Puppet's main force, but the bodies of Ganasalis have disappeared, and the death of Ganasalis is known to have already taken over the vicinity by different troops.

Is that the Puppets?

"With so many of them, we don't know which bandits belong to which gang."

"It's still the slaves that stand out, but I don't know if I can count on it."

"I can't help but look around at the places where Puppet's main force might be."

Don't be too vigilant. "

There is a possibility that the information about the place where Puppet's main force is located is a trap in the first place, and it does not jump out suddenly.

I also had Slatan's legs, as well as Heine and Pilte's ability to spot enemies.We should observe them until we have proof that they are ours.

We'll get together and head northwest of the nearest city.

Then, even from a distance, you can see things that are not similar to the plains.

"That's... what is it?"

There is a large hemispherical rock in the middle of the plain.Is there a diameter of about 50 meters?

The boulder in the plain, which is only one piece, is not visible as a rock that has reached it naturally.

It must have been created by earth magic.

Is it a temporary base?

"In that case, it's huge..."

Perhaps some wizards built walls using advanced earth magic, but they weren't big enough to be built near the battlefield.

I don't know what's going on inside...

"Wait a minute..."

A few slimes came from nearby as Slushtan shone his sigil on his right handed instep.

I knew you were there.

You're close to the battlefield, aren't you?

"Even if it's nearby, this area is far from the battlefield, and there's no need to worry about being attacked."Plus, there's a lot of treats for the slimes. "

That's what I said, and it was a slur with my fingers pointing to the vicinity.There are a few corpses of enemy soldiers that we would have killed.Was it blown away, or was it walking this far but exhausted? It was a feast for the slimes, though the number was small.

“I don't think we need to worry about the corpse becoming undead.”

“It doesn't digest everything, so we need to deal with it after the war, but I don't think all the bodies will undead.”

"But I'm happy for the people of the city."There may be more slime researchers. ”

"If you had more comrades, it would be great for me, but... this is not the case."

I'll have you walk through the wall with the Rock Slime I brought in and see what's inside. ”

Alright, we'll put some vigilance around and some traps in place.

Slatan manipulates the slimes through pure slime and moves from a distance to investigate inside the stone wall.

If it wasn't for the slimes, I'd have to destroy the wall and check inside out.

Heine. Pilte. Are there any signs of enemies around?

"I don't feel it at the moment.But I'm worried that the black dogs aren't moving in this situation. "

"That's right..."

In the fight against Gana Saris, I didn't seem to be intact, and I think it was a good time for the black dog to attack, but I don't feel any sign so far.No, I wasn't the one who could sense the signs.

"Besides... I'm also concerned about the guy who used something like tree magic to attack me indirectly."

I saw the Hands grow a plant called Kalka from within and die, but I don't know anything about the person who did it.I haven't seen that kind of magic used since I've been on this battlefield, and am I in the city of Janoya...?If you were on the battlefield, you'd think it was a pretty tricky magic, so you'd always be on the alert in one corner of your head, but if you were in the city, Kevin and the rest of the city would be pretty dangerous.I can only hope you get away with it...

With that in mind, when I was setting up a vigilance and trap around me, Suraktan called out to me, apparently because he had gotten some information.

Sinya-kun.

What's the matter?

"That rock wall is quite thick."

"I don't think we'll build a wall that breaks easily."

What's going on inside? "

It looks like the bandits are waiting on the other side of that wall.

"What's the situation?"

"That's right... there are quite a few of them."That being said, there are only about fifty people, so I wonder if there are few of them considering what has happened so far. "

What kind of people are you?

"That's right... more than half of them are slaves."

"There seems to be no mistake about being a base for Puppets."Who looks like a building master? "

"There is a tent inside, and with the slaves hardening around it, I think it is difficult to send in the slimes."If I keep this up, I don't think I'll be able to check the inside of the tent.That's why there are about fifty of them. "

"I see... when that happens..."

“I want to draw your attention to this.”

Before I say it, Nil and Pilte say it and move.They're really good kids.

"Heine. When you get started, I'll cover you with Heine."If you can handle the bandits, do it.If all goes well, we might be able to free the slaves. "

I got it.

I got it!

Nil and Pilte, which lead to the hemispherical rock wall, first carefully observe the outside of the rock wall.

It's not bad to call a wall a dawn all of a sudden, but according to Surakutan, it looks like a very thick wall, and it's likely to cause only a fuss without causing any damage.If you want to make the most of the advantage that we haven't found, it's important to make sure that the first hit does a lot of damage.We should check the surroundings, as they are doing.

Nil and Pilte quietly approach the rock wall in the plains.Nil led the way.

We'll move as far as we can cover.

Nil and Pilte moved linearly toward the rock wall, but stopped about 20 meters before the rock wall.

If the hemispherical rock wall in front of you is an enemy stronghold, it's natural to have a watchman around.There are a small number, but there are a few people who are watching the situation around them.They were well-cutting their gaze, but Nil and Pilte must have noticed something and stopped.

There are very few people who monitor bases of this size.

Considering that there is not much need for surveillance, there is probably a trap set up in the vicinity.Obviously, Nil and Pilte think the same without bothering to say that.That's why we're trying to find out where the trap is.

"If you can, you want to get close without triggering the trap."

"Nil and Pilte will do well."I'll see what I can do. "

Sura and Heine stop and watch the two of us talking about something, and they're always ready to help.

Nil and Pilte exchange a few words and then move on to action.

It will be difficult to avoid the trap, or you can take care of the sentry and strike where the enemy comes in, or you can prepare the trap and lure the enemy into causing a commotion.There are many ways, but the actions taken by Nil and Pilte were not in any way that we thought.

First, Nil uses magic.I used Wind Magic.However, I was using life magic, not attack magic.

When I look at what I'm doing, Pilte uses magic next.Pilte used vampire magic, Feintfog.The opponent was standing in the middle of a thick rock wall in the middle of the plain, and thought that even if it was fog, it would immediately disperse... but the black mist that had occurred was guided by the wind that was generating Nil and moved towards the wall.

Nil is using simple lifestyle magic, no attack, but if it's to carry the fog, that's enough.Even if it continued to generate winds, it almost didn't use magic power.

Nil's Lifestyle Magic is a magic that delivers long-distance winds in a narrow range, and it is a magic that is used when starting a fire.

The black mist rose to a point on the wall in the thin stretch of the wind.

It's a hole that Slatan made to send in the slimes.

Since the slime has a fluid body, it can penetrate into any place as long as it has a hole about the size of a nucleus.Therefore, the slatan disassembled the wall with an elongated shape of rock slime and made a small hole of several centimeters.And I sent the slimes in there.

Nil and Pilte used the hole to deliver the feint fog to the other side of the wall using life-style magic.

"If it's wind magic, if it's life magic, it doesn't make any sounds, and feint fog doesn't make any sounds."It had the same effect as shooting magic into the opponent's base silently. "

You must be surprised by the black fog inside.

A black mist suddenly appeared. Moreover, if I inhaled it, I would be stunned.In addition, the base is surrounded by hemispherical rock walls, and the escape route of black fog is limited.There will be entrances and exits, and they must be trying to escape the fog.However, the place is surrounded by a hemispherical rock wall, and the ventilation is poor.If you use wind magic in such a place, the black fog will swarm inside the rock wall and spread the damage.

I don't know if that's the case, but those who can't do anything about the feint fog will be evacuated.Either way, we'll get ahead of it.
