Transported to a hyper-realistic RPG.

We saw a lot of light moving from the direction of the city toward Puppet Honk while we were moving to the safe place that Xenorus called it.

It's good to attack the city, but it's also good to end up destroying the mainland.It's always easy to attack a city or catch ordinary people.It would be natural to give priority to us as a risk factor.

Even if the number of people in the Tempest Honest Arm were the same, most of them would survive by blowing down the Holy Soul Magic.Although it is a powerful magic that is close to a natural disaster, magic is magic.We can't just wipe them all out in an instant.

Even if we can achieve our original goal, our own problems will become a problem this time.

"Master, about that... I've come up with a solution..."

Nil comes to me with a feeling of a little bit of a toothache.

“What's the matter? Tell me if you have a plan.”

"... why don't we use that stone wall...?"

"I see..."

The reason Nil's tooth was broken was because, if this operation had been decided and worked out, it could have caused a lot of damage.It's just… it's a close act of genocide.Pretty ruthless plan.

"... no. Let's not do that."

It would be harder if we were to be pinned down like this, but we could do better.It is better to do things without killing as much as possible. "

I'll stroke Nil's head with a pom-pom.

Nil, who normally laughed sarcastically, fell ashamed of himself for proposing a merciless solution this time.

"We are at the stage where we are exploring various possibilities."You can talk to me if you come up with any solution.The question is whether to do it or not.I was thinking of a worse plan, so there's nothing to be ashamed of. "

It is natural to imagine and propose merciless solutions, considering all possibilities.It's up to us whether we choose or not.So no one thinks of Nil as a ruthless man.

Well, I'm the only one who sees the slaves in the tunnel, so that's influencing the way of thinking.Nil thinks that the slaves in the tunnel are no different from the combat slaves fighting on the ground, so it is not strange that such an idea comes up.

When I became a child slave, I remembered when I met Nil, and it was still not pleasant.Besides, I don't think I'm going to kill a child in that state...

When I told the story here, it changed to mean that Nil tried to kill the children... so I didn't tell the story.

Otherwise, I guess I'll hide and get closer...?

“That would be great, but I don't think we're in a place where that's possible.You will definitely be in a promising place. ”

That's true, too...

Isn't there a back road or a road prepared for escape? "

"Even if there is, there is no point in being easily found, and it will be hidden with great care."I don't think it's realistic to find it and attack it. ”

"I see... until now, I haven't hardened my defenses, so I could force myself in, but if I can't wait, I won't be able to do anything with our numbers..."

I can't even move.

There are only five of us.There was no tactic that could be used.

Maybe we can shoot the magic directly in front of us to open the door, or maybe we can change the terrain to limit the number of people we can fight with magic.

If the terrain is a little more obstructed, I think I can do something about it...

It's a plain without anything...

Both Nil and Pilte think a lot while twisting their heads, but a hand that overturns the situation is something that is not easy to find, and because it cannot be found, you can overturn the situation when it is done.

I can't help but think that while I was resting my body, a strange idea might come to mind, but I didn't come up with a plan that said this in particular, and the time passed for a while.

"That's the limit of the information I can get from that man."

After glancing at Xenorath, who was trying to scream even though he was bitten by a monkey, Heine sighed mixedly.

"Well, then we don't have to keep him alive."

Master, will you leave him to me?

Nil said that with a serious look.Xenorath must have done something that Nil couldn't forgive.There was no reason to refuse, so I nodded and decided to leave the matter to Xenorath.

“Thank you.”

With that said, Nil's anger came to Nil's eyes when he saw Xenorath.

Nil was the one who told me not to show mercy to the slaves, but it should have been a word with the meaning that I would tell myself because I have more feelings than anyone about the slaves.

If you look at Xenorath who uses such slaves as consumables in a battle with Puppets, it's only natural that you can't forgive them.

There's no need to seriously look at what Nil does, and I don't think Nil wants you to look at it very much, so I didn't see what Nil did to Xenorus, but the voice that I heard told me about Xenorus' despair.

I didn't seem to hurt him much more than I needed to, but until I could hear Zenorus, his voice was a color of fear.I don't know if he regretted what he did just before he died, but at least it would have meant a lot to him to be killed by Nil, who made a fool of himself as a female slave.

After Nil had finished everything and returned, she stroked her head once and decided to start moving.

"It should be time for the pursuers to come here."Let's get moving. ”

But you don't know what to do with it, do you?

"When you see the movement of the other person, you may come up with something."I don't think I can think of anything here, and I want to avoid a fight before I set it up. "

"I want to start the attack at this timing, so I'll run away so that the opponent can't catch me first."

Then you'd better leave no trace, right?What about Xenorath's body? "

"If you wait a little, I'll let the slimes do it."

Well then, in the meantime, we'll be on the alert around us.

I still don't know what to do, but I will decide on the first course of action and act immediately.

Unlike the opponent, we move with five people, so it's an advantage to be able to move with ease.If we move around like this, we won't get caught.

Just running around doesn't make things any better.Or rather, the situation worsens because it gives the other person time.Attack or pull, you need to decide and move as soon as possible.

A few minutes later, Slatan takes care of Xenorath's body, and we move through the plains without a light.

Even though it was dark, there was moonlight, and Heine and Pilate had a good night vision.I will not lag behind the other party.

While moving and resting, based on the information obtained by Heine, he leaned close to the place where the tempest was and checked the current situation.

We're in the middle of a plain.

It was still far away, but I was able to get to a place where I could see Tempest's base.

Although there is ups and downs, even at night, if you stand and move, you will be exposed to stony rocks, so you bend over and move, and after approaching the distance where you can grasp the whole thing, you start a discussion while watching the movement of the enemy in a downed state.

"As expected... of course, the number of opponents is not unusual."

We're looking at a crowd of bandits who don't know how many are there.

I can see the tent, the kindling, and it looks like it's definitely a base, but even if there was a minor or a variant there, it's almost impossible to identify.However, the people at the base don't feel like they're in combat, but they can see people sitting there talking and people sleeping.

The opponent seems to have plenty of room.

"If this many people are gathered, you probably don't think that it would be possible to have only five people."Well, I'm not mistaken because I can't actually do anything about it. "

"However, if Mina is rushing in, it shouldn't be strange to be in a state of preemptive combat."

If you look at Maina, nearly a thousand troops have fought, lost their main force, and escaped. "

"Even though Fear is losing his mind, and he can't afford it, he's very relaxed."

"I guess that's how they provoke us."If you can do it, give it a try.We're not going to run or hide, are we? ”

"You're a bunch of bastards."

I guess that's all you have to do to get rid of us.

"The source of that confidence is probably that most of the Tempest guys are good at fighting..."

As we watch the Tempests, I don't see anyone who looks weak or unfamiliar with battle.The image of a band of bandits who gathered together people with high combat abilities...

"From what I've seen, it looks like there are a lot of ex-adventurers, ex-guards, ex-mercenaries."

The bandits are too powerful, and around here, they can't even work. Adventurers and mercenaries have fallen into the bandits, and because of that, they can't work anymore... A negative loop has arisen, and the bandits have become enlarged.Moreover, the aristocrats help out there, so the bandits are pushing people like the guards into the worst possible situation.

And as the number of bandits grew, the bandits gathered only those with the best fighting abilities.Isn't that a tempest?

It's only a judgment to see what they're doing, but it's probably not such a mistaken guess.If you look at a large organization called Hunters' Larrabay, it is natural to assume that there are nearly 20,000 people who belong to or are related to it.If you become a big bandit like this, you can really do whatever you want, and it's not strange that being a bandit makes more money than being an adventurer, a guard, or a mercenary.

If it's just about making money, I can even say that it's smarter to go along with a bandit.All that remains is a matter of pride as a person.Usually, I don't want to give up that pride, and even if the profits are bad, I want to be an adventurer and a guard, but if there are many times that the bandits deprive me of the profits when I'm working, I won't be able to do it.

If you reach the adventurer level of A rank or higher, you can make a lot of money wherever you go, and you won't have to dare to stay in this neighborhood, but if you become an adventurer with a low rank, you can't even say that.This world journey is based on carriages, and if you are going to get out of the influence of Hunters Lalabah, you need to travel a fair distance.Of course, we'll need money and supplies... but we'll have to do our best to save up.But even if you try to save up, the bandits will take it away from you.Even if I tried to work, the bandits would get in the way... I could see the flow of bandits who didn't rise in rank, didn't get any money, and couldn't turn their necks around...

Those people came together to form a big bandit group called Hunters Larrabee.

It's harder to be tough than when you're fighting Fears.

Even if you say that you have taken a rest, it is not enough to have a good rest, and I want to try not to make a big jump as much as possible.Even so, it is absolutely necessary to check the appearance of Maina and Barabanta at that time.

"With this number, it's impossible to attack them all at once."It's probably the best strategy to reduce the number of attacks over and over again and attack when the formation breaks down... just... "

"There are still many people attached to the city, so if only the number of people defeated is replenished, it will be a protracted war."If it becomes a protracted war, I don't think we'll be able to win... "

That's right...

Honestly, it was blocked in all directions.

The Fears were many who were used to fighting, but not many of them.The number of Puppets was the highest, but the number of those with the ability to fight was low.

Because of those weaknesses, both of them could be cut down, but the Tempest people are rotten to the point where they are accustomed to fighting.Is there really a way to counter this?I won't say anything... but I don't have the confidence to think of it...

"On the right... you can't." On the left... no good.

No matter where you look, you're full of enemies.I don't see any gaps to get in. "

I'm lying on the plain and watching the situation, but I can't see a breakthrough.

"If it seems impossible, then there is a choice to withdraw here, but..."

We've succeeded in attracting a certain number of people, and the city's fleeing people have already escaped.If you think about it, it doesn't seem like we need to do our best to destroy Tempest here.

It's a tough number to attack with just five people, and we can work with the survivors to slowly attack the rest of them at a later date.

However, in this case, the opponent will take possession of the city and engage in defensive battles.In short, we're going to start a siege battle.

You don't have to think about whether it's hard to beat enemies gathered in the plains or in a city protected by a barrier.

In contrast, many of those who fled the city were just ordinary people.Some of them have never even held a sword, and others have children.We can't let those people fight.As a result, there are a handful of people who can fight.With that number, it is not difficult to bring down enemies that will fortify your defenses.

Considering that, pulling here leads to giving up the city and being prepared to weep the worst...

So apart from whether the people of the city are convinced or not, I don't think the choice itself is wrong.In the end, it's important to be alive, and you can live with the lives you saved.

But... people who have already been captured and things left in the city.All of that will have to be given up.

And... ultimately, it could lead to the creation of disturbing anxiety materials in battles with the Holy Knights.

When I think about it, I want to think of it as a last resort when all my hands are really gone and I can't do anything anymore, but... it is already becoming a situation that should be put into perspective.

"It's also important to withdraw..."

As it is, incomplete combustion is good, but if you can't think of an attacker, you shouldn't attack.At least, if only there was one more Holy Soul Magic left, I wouldn't have been able to push it...

"At least, it's different if there's someone else here who can move..."

"I don't think such a convenient thing will happen."

"... um... maybe such a convenient thing will happen..."

"" "Eh?" ""

When all of us reacted to Pilte's words, Pilte pointed his index finger to the west from where we were hiding.

In the darkness, it's a little far away and I can't see it well, but it looks like somehow the figure is moving.

Isn't it the enemy…?

"No, it's totally amateurish."Besides... the weapons I have are kuma or sickle.I think they're from the nearby countryside. ”

”Tsk...... Are you going to burst into Tempest's base like that?”

“I think I'm going to stay here.”

"Come on... let's stop it."

The shadows of the rural people moved slowly, so they were quickly caught up without rushing.

"Hey, stop it."

"" "" Huh?! "" "

When I called from behind, a few men looked back and stood up to me with scythe and sickle.Her face was strong and she was sweating coldly.

Who is it?!

I don't shout, but they ask us in a stuck voice.

"I'm not a bandit." Lower your weapons. ”

I raise my hands to show that there is no hostility.

Can you believe it!

"I'm sure they're one of them!"We have no choice but to kill them! "

"You're telling me it's not.If it was the enemy, they wouldn't even bother to speak up, but they would be planning an ambush from behind.Just listen to me. ”

"... what are you going to do...?"

"I don't care what you ask me..."

All eight of them were present.Everyone is a man and there are people from all ethnic groups.Even the youngest appear to be over forty years old.

"We just want to talk."If you stay here, they'll find you, so let's talk a little further away. ”

Looking at my words with suspicion, one of the group nods.

I wouldn't say they trusted me, but at least I didn't think they'd attack me right away.

Along with the men, he moved a little further away from Tempest's base and hid himself in a centipede on the ground that was visible nearby.

Some people keep looking at us with suspicion, and the distance is well taken, but if we talk about it, the misunderstanding will disappear soon.

"I don't know, if I can get here, I'll be fine."

Even if there is something, I will fall back to a position where I can't find the guards of the base and start talking.

"Why are you in such a dangerous place?"

I'll get to the point from the beginning.I don't want to waste my time talking too much.

"... to kill them!"

"No, I know that.All I'm asking is, why are you trying to kill me?

Even if you go to the enemy base like that, you know that it's my fault to die in vain or be enslaved, right? "
