"We have received reports that most of the hostages have been freed and are on their way to the scene.

Cynthia pulled out here and wondered if we could handle it.... "

"... if so, how many victims?"

"... more than half..."

I don't know how many people there are, but there won't be a few hostages, and there will probably be dozens or hundreds of victims.

We can take care of this, but we can't help all the caught. I mean... we sacrifice nearly half of it and we pull, or I go out on my own and do something about it...

"Master! No!" Absolutely not!? "

…………………

Nil is stopping me with half a tear.

Even if I calm down and think about it, if I storm here alone, I won't be able to defeat them and help the captured...

I don't have any more cards left. I also used up the Holy Soul Magic and the Wind Cutter.

All that remained was my swordsmanship, magic power, divine power, and the magic of the Sakurazaki sword that was about to accumulate.

Even if you rampage around and damage the opponent as much as you can, you can't kill all the remaining people. I often deal with many people, and although I am used to it, there are situations where there is nothing I can do about it.

If I could at least take Nil with me, there was still a chance that I could do something about it... but if I got in by myself, it would be suicidal.

I don't want to die, and I can't imitate a single charge without a chance of winning. I want to help the residents, but it doesn't make sense to lose your life there. Of course, if you want to help, you have to do it yourself.

You may feel very pessimistic, but that's not true.

In short, if we have a chance and a way to help the inhabitants, that's fine.

After stroking Nil's head with a pimp, I continued talking to Shinobi.

Nil did not laugh sarcastically, but she showed me a slightly reassuring expression, knowing that she was not willing to die.

"...... Eagle Crow and Kevin are on their way to the scene, right?"

Yes.

How long will it take to get there?

About fifteen minutes.

"... how many enemies and how many hostages?"

"There were ten enemies." There are about two hundred hostages.

However, the enemy's ten men are supposed to be elite troops. ”

Just ten people scratching at me... I wonder if there's any reason you're trying to kill us.

Even if all ten of them were players, there's an Eagle Crow, and even if you kill me in this situation and try to escape, you won't be able to escape so easily.

Even if it's a hostage situation, it includes the meaning of…

If there are the masterminds who are trying to escape in front of us, they will drive us to the ends of the earth, no matter how many hostages there are. Nowadays, there are overwhelmingly more evacuees in the neighborhood than in Hunters Lalabah, so no matter how hard you try, it's impossible to escape.

Still, I think it is reasonable to think that there is some sort of solution to what remains without daring to run away, but... if you don't know what the solution is, you have to think about how to put your hand out.

If we move the ninjas, Eagle Crowe, and Kevin, can we help the hostages and suppress them?

"...... I thought it would be difficult to zero the victims."

It's like a hostage, so 200 people are being captured by the opponent. Rescuing all of them is... as hard as it gets.

Even if you shelter all those who can move, there will still be casualties.

"I'm not trying to get everyone out.

I mean... without making as many casualties as possible. ”

I hate to say it, but... as much as we can, we'll keep the casualties in check and get rid of the rest of the Hunters. I think this is the best course of action.

If I can, I want to help everyone... but if I try to force myself to do what I can't, the damage will be extra.

It may be a bad way to put it, but I'm prepared to make some sacrifices.

"... if that's the case, I wonder if it's possible." just..... "

"Do you want time...?"

"... yes."

If we are to help the people of the city, we need to take them back in an instant, with those who can move.

In other words, we must buy fifteen minutes before Eagle Crowe and Kevin come, and time for Shinobi to be ready.

"Then I'll have to go in front of them alone and buy some time..."

Master!?

Of course, it was a waste of time. Serial Magic Attacks as soon as you arrive! If that happens, I can't do it for free, either. But...

"... I'm not saying it's okay... but I'm sure you won't be able to get your hands on me right away."

I look at Nil, but Nil doesn't like it.

"There are ten other people... so if you don't read my hand, you won't be able to escape, and you'll probably have time to talk... right?"

Yeah.

“It's a hopeful observation, not a sure thing!”

"I know, but if... you suddenly end up getting attacked, I'm not going to kill you right away."

If I don't get killed right away... Nil will come for me, won't she? "

I thought it would be a good idea, but if Nil could come, I could fight ten opponents for a while. In the meantime, if Eagle Crowe, Kevin, and Shinobi come, most of the victory conditions will be achieved.

Naturally, the opponent will have a deep hand, and while we're doing something like this, we can think of something to set it up, but with me and Nil, we can definitely get through. I have no basis for my confidence, but that's all I trust about Nil.

“If you know Nil will come, it's easy enough to endure it.”

"Master... that's a really cunning answer..."

I absolutely believe in Nil. And I'll put up with it until Nil comes. So help me.

I know that Nil can't take the option of not nodding after being told that. I think Nil was right, it was a tricky way of saying things.

But it's also true that I believe that if Nil were to come, we would be able to do something about it.

Of course, Suratan, Heine, and Pilte. I trusted all the Eagle Crows, Kevin, and Shinobi.

It's impossible for me to take down Hunters Lalabah from here and reduce the casualties as much as I can, but I'm sure we'll be fine if everyone stays.

Even if I can't fight with all my might, I can make it up to you. I'm not scared because I know that.

We talk briefly about what we're going to do here, decide on a rough plan, and then get up. Shinobi immediately began his journey and informed Eagle Crow and Kevin of his plan.

Now we are ready.

"This is the last battle against Hunters Lalabah." Shall we go out of our way? ”

Everyone is worn out, and the four letters "exhausted" apply beautifully, but if you think this is the last mountainous place, you can squeeze out the remaining strength.

"We'll cover you as much as we can."

"If you can't do it, this is the place."

“Let's make it a success!”

I've decided to do it myself, so they're excited to make it work.

"Nil...... I asked for it."

"... please leave it to me. I won't let you touch your master with one finger."

Just to say a word to Nil, Nil gave me the most serious look I've ever seen.

I'm dying tired, my left arm is hollow, and I'm about to fall, but it's all the same. Of course, Nil would do the same.

Still, it says on Nil's face, "I'll never let you touch it."

We're finally here. I took them out at the end, and I ended them up in a big circle.



After the discussion, we immediately went to the place where the hostages were being captured, as Shinobi had told us.

The place is the deepest place where the castle... was standing.

The only place in the castle that was destroyed by the wind cutting feathers.

Perhaps some of this remaining building is like a private room in Bourdon-Fujolde. The private room is big, but I can see that only the rest of it is very sturdy, and the collapse is stopping.

Even if the castle were to be destroyed, this place wouldn't collapse...

The construction is cylindrical. From the outside, the other parts look flashy, so it is a simple construction that you would not expect to find Bourdon-Fjorde here. With no decor and few windows, it's just like a building that pursues ruggedness.

It's more like a shelter-like building than just waking up here... but Bourdon-Fjorde probably has everything she cares about in it.

And the hostages at heart.....

"You're going to do something nasty..."

It was… connected to the surroundings of such a building.

They're not captured, they're literally connected.

The hostage's limbs are tied together with the limbs and shackles of the next hostage, so that no one can escape.

The hostage ring is made several times heavier, and some of the rings are connected to children at regular intervals.

If... they try to get away with something, the children will be pulled by their arms and legs. Moreover, those who are like mothers who are worried about the child and continue to send their gaze are connected between two or three people.

Children will naturally feel pain when residents try to run away. Trying to stop it, trying to stop those who are in between their mothers. Even if it becomes a shackle and tries to escape, it cannot escape. I think that's what happened.

And there are tear marks on the children's faces, and the body of the man is rolling up ahead of the gaze.

Perhaps... it's the father of the children.

Zakke, Yana, and Lark were also known, but sometimes children do things that adults can't imagine.

Was it to deter them... or to show them off... or to kill their father in front of their children?

Some of the victims Shinobi was talking about must be them.

And most of all, if we can show the hostages that we have children, our hands will be harder to cast.

The way you do it is dirty... it's beyond that.

The Great Bandit Gang's Hunter's Head, Barabanta. I knew from the beginning that what I was going to do was ruin my life. But if you actually look at it, you feel terrible.

Now, if Hunters Larrabee wins, if he takes over this city... the grudges that will remain after that will be much thicker and heavier than they think. I wonder if they have any idea what to do about it.

Even if the escaped bandits come back, those who have a grudge here will surely come to revenge. Now you will be beaten by the grief of losing your loved ones, but in time you will surely appear to clear your grudges.

When that happens, they'll have to deal with more powerful people than we do. I don't know... I think the bandit is a bandit because I think I can do something about it.

We know a man on the island of Ouca who has driven his country to the brink of falling through stained resentment. With dozens or hundreds of such people gathered, the city where the bandits lived would collapse in less than a night.

But those who have given everything to revenge have become very sad.

Now, if you show us how to kill a vengeful opponent with our hands, you won't be trapped in vengeance and dyed in blood for the rest of your life. I hope so.

I walked away from Nil and the others to the cylindrical building on my own.

You're here.

Oops!

When I get close to the building, a man comes out.

It's a Jewish man, but he doesn't seem to be a player. It's just my subjectivity...

The man brutally pulled a woman and walked towards me. The woman is grabbing her hair around the back of her head, and the woman speaks out for pain, but the man completely ignores it.

A straight sword is held in the man's hand, which is directed at the woman, and the woman may be slashed by some kind of beat.

I've never seen a woman before, but...

"Mom! Mom, come on!"

When he hears a tied-up boy screaming, he looks like the mother of the boy.

"Apparently, you really came alone."

"You must be the one who told me to come alone."

The man carefully checked that there was no one behind me, and when he sent his gaze behind him, about three people emerged from the hostage circle and spread out to surround me.

You're really looking more closely at me when you see my gaze pointing around.

Not all four of them seemed to be players. At least there are two Beastman men, so they're not players.

"Drop your weapons first."

…………………

Hurry up!

Oops!

When I don't throw away my weapon, the man pulls the woman hard and the woman raises her voice in pain.

I don't like the sight.

It reminds me of what I decided to do when I went on this journey.

Kashan...

I threw away my cherry blossom sword a little further away. The player's weapon with the emblem does not come back just because it is out of hand. When someone touches it, he recognizes that he is not the person and returns to the hand.

Which means that if I just threw it away, the weapon won't be back in my hand, it's just rolling on the ground.

Naturally, no one touches it. You must know a lot about the player.

I threw it away.

"If you ask honestly from the beginning, there's no trouble..."

When the man sends his gaze back again, Zoro and Zoro appear from inside the building.

The number is six.

If Ninja's information is correct, we can confirm everyone's appearance.

Of the six players who appeared, four were players. The emblem is on my weapon, I'm sure of it.

One is probably Bourdon-Fjorde.

I don't know why... it's because the body shape is very similar to the hoogie-fujorde that Heine and the others said.

A man of the Jewish clan, the belly of Buyo Buyo. It is equipped with a number of rings with glittering jewels, and the clothes are very good quality.

In a nutshell, it's a parent pig.

I was definitely in a position where I could be protected by others, even though I was in a shape where I couldn't fight at all.

And the only one left... he's wearing a coat, he's wearing a deep hood, and he can't see his face, but that's probably Babanta. It's the head of Hunters Lalabad.

I wanted to see his face as soon as I could and remember what kind of a guy he was, but... he was pretty cautious.

"Oh... ohhh... you!!!"

When I was checking the surroundings, I suddenly heard a scream that cracked the air around me.

It was Bourdon-Fjorde who screamed.

Even though it's not too hot, you're shouting something at me with your index finger while sweating.

"There are two black-haired women among you!!" Bring those two!! "

…………………

Bourdon - Fjorde is probably talking about Heine and Pilte... I was told to come alone, so I came alone, but you want me to bring my people... are you stupid?

No, if it's okay to bring them, I'll bring them, but... if it's okay with both of us, that's a relief.

It seems that the parent pig who broke his head was reprimanded by one of the players beside him, and somehow he stopped saying crazy things... but what are you so anxious about...?

I was the one who destroyed the castle, and if you're blaming me for Zarain and all the other things that disturbed you, you should be blaming me, but somehow Heine and Pilate are facing the spearhead.

If you're snotting too hard, the blood vessels in your brain are going to blow... or if you're snotting too hard, it sounds like a real pig.

Bourdon-Fujolde starts to speak people's language when he thinks he has no idea what he's feeling so angry about.

"You killed my Fu-chan!" I'll kill them both! I'll shame you to death and then I'll kill you!! "

On your head? I was about to put Mark on the plane... but perhaps Fu-chan is Fuji-Fujorde. I mean, Bourdon-Fjorde's son.

Heine and Pilte are the men that are to be killed in many ways.

Rumor has it that he sent his unusable son, Fuji-Fujolde, to another city to keep him away... it seems that the facts are different.

When he heard the words screaming as Buhibuhi spoke, Bourdon-Fujolde seemed to be doting on Hoog.

It seems that such a doting son gave Ponatala a place to live safely and freely.

But there came Heine and Pilate, and they killed Fuji-Fujode.
