"... I'd like to hear it." Why aren't you retreating when you still have all the strength you need? "

Already, if nearly half the human lives on the battlefield were taken, it would be a huge defeat for the opponent. If only five men had taken away ten thousand men, they would have fled to their homeland and suffered the damage. Levels that will be told later as laughers. Even in a situation where there is no face or anything at the earliest, what is the reason for staying here?

Even though the surrounding people are alive and not able to get out easily, it's like a siege, but there are still just under 10,000 bandits. If I wanted to break through together, I think I could afford to. And yet, I think there should be a good reason for not doing so.

"Why don't you leave here...?" What are you going to do about it? "

"If that's unacceptable, then of course I'm going to stop."

"I'm sorry, but I can't do that anymore."

………………

I was surprised to see that I was able to predict...?

"... yes."

This is why the bandits can't escape. I can roughly predict that based on my actions so far.

First of all, the fact that almost everyone in Hunter's Lalabah came to Janoya.

Less than a day after we entered Janoya and took various actions, all of the Hunters' Larabais gathered near Janoya.

It would have taken several days to gather 20,000 people and move them out of their respective faction areas.

In other words, before we decided to invade Janoya, Hunters Lalabah was moving towards Janoya. I can say for sure that it is not the result of gathering 20,000 people for just the five of us and trying to kill them. Well, as usual, if we were the only purpose, we wouldn't need to have 20,000 people, and I think we know that's not the purpose.

So why did so many people move?

Eventually, the bandits took the risk of being surrounded, but entered the city of Janoya and captured everything. In addition, Bourdon-Fuerde stood in the temple, not outside... I can only think of those things...

“You're going to make this city the city of Hunters Larrabee.”

"That's right, the city of bandits." A city just for bandits. ”

The town of Janoya is quite large and has enough space to accommodate 20,000 people.

And the convenience of passing to the surrounding cities and villages, friendly relations with the nobles... When you think about them, there is no city nearby that meets all the conditions that the bandits need but this Janoya.

I think that all the survivors are placed in and around the city to protect it from those who seek to reclaim it.

Bourdon - Fjorde seems to stop playing the hero completely and join hands with the bandits.

We need money to move the city, but with Zarain's sales and the support of the nobles, we shouldn't have a problem. Well... unfortunately, we killed Nana Shino, who was able to make that Zalein... but I think we can make a lot of money by buying and selling other things if we buy and sell Zalein's inventory and Hunters Larrabee, who made a name for himself.

I don't think that the city that the bandits will build just for the bandits will last for long, and I can only see the future of destroying our city with their own hands one day. Maintaining the city is not so easy. That said, with Bourdon-Fujolde, who was originally a lord, it would be possible for him to survive, and even if he were to be doomed one day, he would have many casualties in the meantime. When that happens, the meaning of our fight fades.

Maina said that it was no longer possible to stop it because the city had already been conquered by Hunters Lalabah and it could not be easily dropped.

As Maina said, the problem is, even if people living around here try to reclaim the city, I think it is difficult to reclaim the city from the bandits against this number.

The specialty around here is cotton, and there are many people who work on it. In other words, there are many farmers. It's said that there are not many people who can fight, and it is quite uncomfortable to fight 10,000 bandits in a bunch. Even if you hire a small number of people who can fight, it's overwhelmingly unfavorable, and even if you hire a small number, most of the aristocrats who have money don't have the money to hire people who can fight because they're on the Boudon-Fjorde side, the bandit side.

As a result, there is no other way than to weep and leave the city and village around here...

Originally, I came in with the intention of making this Janoya the home of Hunters Larrabay, and now that I've finished most of my plans, I don't need to leave. After that... but if you take care of us and everyone who fights outside, it'll all fit together.

It's a terrible and fancy plan, but it's not funny because it's actually overrunning the city.

"The city is already under control." Now that only five people have scratched their legs, they can't stop us.

Even those who are out there will die soon. "

Certainly, it would be unrealistic to turn things upside down from here. I think the only people who can do that are the kind of heroes that appear in stories.

If this was just me and Pilate, I might not even have been involved in the first place. I should have given up thinking that there is such a desperate difference in the number of people, and that it is not something that can be done by people.

But... Pilate and I know each other.

Being like a real hero, who only appears in stories like this, is doing things with us.

"... no. We haven't decided on a match yet."

"Be strong. Surrender and become one of us." That way, you can talk to Barabanta for a bit. "

A minor smiles again, an ugly smile that you can understand even if you hide your mouth.

"Please, I would rather die myself than be like you."

"... if you had listened honestly to my advice, you wouldn't have died... I'm really sorry."

Maina turned from a smile to a cold expression and closed the fan.

"I know it's strong." But no matter how strong you are, there is something you can't do. "

That said, as Minor leaned his fan toward us, the slaves around him blocked out in front of Zoro and Minor.

Is it possible that the walls of these slaves can't do what Maina says...? No. Probably not. Even if we were to build a wall full of barracks now, Minnie would know better than to stop us.

"... Piltee, let's deal with these guys first."

The number of slaves blocked between us and Maina is much smaller than the number that Simya and the others are dealing with, which is roughly twenty people.

With this number, we can do something about it, even if we're exhausted.

The feint fog had been poured out of the room by the wind magic of a few wizards, but with a shadow owl, it should be possible to suppress it. It's just... how long will it take to conquer them...

If I could, I'd just like to take on Maina, but... I can't do that.

"Yes! I will do the right!"

When Pilte said that and kicked the ground, he ran into the group in front of him, on his right hand side.

The magic of the vampire Shadowclaw is one of the reasons why it is favored for its usability, but above all for its high applicability.

The ability to stretch freely means that if you can be thin and sharp, you can parry the weapon with some thickness.

What do you mean, that's all? You might think, but in a war like this, this is a very big weapon.

The shadow owl's reach is at first glance unknown, and it stretches and contracts in an instant, so the opponent can't recognize our distance well.

Sinya-san, Nil-chan, Suratan and other people with strength that is hard to say normally, but they can still take it, play, play, and avoid it somehow, but that's something only a handful of powerful people can do, and not normally.

Snap!

"Goofy..."

Just by stretching out their shadowcrows, Piltee and I will be thrusting their throats at the slow responders, making it impossible for them to continue the fight.

But that's not all the strength of the Shadow Owl is.

Originally, shadowclaws were magic used to replace weapons on the battlefield in the olden days.

In other words, it is not a weapon for assassination, but a magic that was originally used as a weapon in such a battlefield.

Shadow Owl, for example, is a magic that looks so weak in front of metal full-body armor and heavy weapons like the Great Sword. Nevertheless, this magic was favored by vampire warriors who kept fighting on the battlefield.

Why is that? This is because if you stretch this magic called Shadowclaw as thinly as possible, it will be a thinness that will enter the gap of the armor stunningly.

Even if you are a person, you cannot completely seal the armor, and in order to take the view, a gap will be created in the part of the eyes and the joint of the surface where the gap is open. The shadow owl can accurately penetrate the gap and cause the opponent to suffer a hand injury.

If someone gets a wound on the battlefield that will heal, but it is difficult to continue the fight, the enemy will lower that person. But he was wearing full armor, and could not carry it alone. As a result, two or more people will be able to help, and in a single blow, three people will be able to leave.

Of course, the opponent was moving around to kill us, and they were also attacking us, so it was difficult to sew through the gap between them and pass the shadowclaw through the armor. However, the vampire race has the physical abilities and five senses. Those who are in front of us now, pure-blooded vampires will be able to stab shadowclaws into the gap of their armor while stretching.

The Vampire Clan was supposed to be overwhelmingly small during the war with the Demon Clan, but that was the reason why the Demon King couldn't make it. Every time I attacked, there were a lot of injured people, but there were few dead. By injuring them without daring to kill them, the number of people on the frontline of the opposing team has been drastically reduced, and they have been forced to retreat.

Of course, the attacking force at that time took various measures to destroy the vampire race, but after all, it was impossible to defeat the vampire race, and now the demon king is offering reconciliation, so I think it is natural for the vampire race to take Shadowclaw specially. When I said it, it was a magic that the demons couldn't conquer.

Unfortunately, Pilte and I don't have that much power, so we can concentrate, but we can't. Until now, there were overwhelming avant-gardes like Shinya-san, Nil-chan, and Suratan, so we never moved as a complete avant-garde. However, in the first place, the four of them jumped out of the demon world, so of course, the rear guard also learned how to fight as a front guard.

Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa!

Boom! Boom!

I did it!

Snap!

"Gaaaa!"

One of the enemy soldiers swings his straight sword vertically and horizontally, but my eyes firmly grasp it, and I firmly dodge all attacks.

And the gap between the armor and the attack. I thinly stretched and pierced the shadow owl against one of the gaps.

The shadowclaw that enters from the armpit is pulled out after injuring the inside of the enemy soldier, and the enemy cries out at the pain.

Oaah!!

In this case, it's a siege battle, and since we don't want to push back those who attack us, we should not only injure them, but also aim at the attacks leading to their death, but we don't have to force them to do so.

Shadow Owl is a very good dark magic favored by the vampire clan, but it is still a dark magic, and its intensity is not that high. Especially, when it becomes as thin as a puncture in the gap of the armor, it can be said that it has little strength. Therefore, if you don't master the Shadow Owl and choose the right timing and location of the attack, it will be destroyed immediately.

In other words, when using shadow owls, the most important thing is not to force them to attack.

Attacks only when the timing and location of the attack is sufficient to ensure that the target can be struck. Otherwise, focuses on Blocking and Evading. This is the most important basic concept in the use of shadow owls.

In other words... he's swinging his sword at me right now... he's wearing armor all over his body and wearing a helmet. As far as I can see, the place where the shadow owl can be pierced is the gap between the helmet and the armor, the eye part of the helmet to take the field of view. Underarms, elbows. This is about it.

However, the part close to the face, when attacked, is a person who reflexively moves and tries to avoid, it is very difficult to aim. If the opponent is not watching my movements, it is possible to puncture it in an instant, but it is difficult to match the attack directly in front of me.

When that happens, the armpit and elbows remain, but the armpit is the part that gradually hides by the arm against the movement of the body that swings down the great sword. If you force it into the arm, you may get caught in the movement of the arm and destroy the shadow owl. On the other hand, the elbow part will stretch out from now on, but before that, it is closest to me, easy to aim, and easy to predict movement.

If you look at it from that point of view, I think you will understand best where to aim.

Snap!

"Ahhhh!"

My extended shadowclaw reaches the joint of the elbow that was about to be swung down, piercing the opponent's elbows and pulling them out instantly.

Gashan!

The enemies were pierced through their elbows, so they lost strength in their hands and dropped their great swords to the ground in a magnificent way.

And then…

* Giggle *... * cough *!

"Gu...... ah......"

I grab the opponent's head and poke the shadowclaw in the eye area with the opposite hand against the opponent who turned away in pain and couldn't follow my movements with his eyes. If this is the case, it is impossible to take it off unless you try to take it off.

The piercing shadowclaw reaches from the eye to the brain and strikes the opponent's life in an instant.

After making the body jump several times, the person relaxes from the body.

Protect Maina-sama!

"We're going to be walls!"

The standing slaves, even if their companions are killed, don't get frightened, and solidify before the minor.

"... Mother."

"... yes, I think it's enchanted by Bloodcharm."

Blood Charm is a type of vampire magic, and it is a magic of the spiritual interference system. To put it in a nutshell, the effect is to enchant the subject of magic.

Even with a mouthful of charm... the effect content of the ordinary dark magic's mental interference magic remains the same, and it only slightly shakes the opponent's spirit.

In short, it's impossible for an opponent to suddenly turn into a fanatic just because they used this magic.

This magic is among vampire magic... it's said to be a magic that's almost useless to say the least.

It may feel like magic that's very useful to increase my companions, but this magic is extremely weak.

For example, if you use this magic on a battlefield like this, it will be used against the enemy... but the opponent naturally recognizes us as enemies. To put it differently, we are in a state of dislike.

If I use this magic against such an opponent... nothing will happen. Surely nothing will come to pass. The effect is so thin that it's almost useless to say it clearly. Especially, it was a magic that was completely useless on the battlefield. It was a waste of magic power.

The scene where this magic works... is in the couple's bedroom, although it's embarrassing to say so much.

This Blood Charm doesn't have the power to change hate, but if the opponent is in a favorable state originally, it has the ability to amplify that emotion a little...... I can't say any more.

Therefore, only people who are favorable to themselves can have some effect. In other words, most of the slaves who are desperately trying to protect Mina in front of them now are at least those who originally viewed Mina favorably.

From here on out, it's really a casual guess.....

Looking at Mina's appearance, she has red eyes on her black hair, just like me and Pilte, and she has a somewhat neat appearance. Generally speaking, she looks like a beauty.

Although it is a characteristic appearance of the vampire race, this dark hair, red eyes, and neat appearance are only from a class of light blooded species, which is rarely seen in mixed species. Although it does not mean that it is not there, it can be said that it is a mixed species close to the thin blood species with the blood of Alice-sama among those called mixed species.
