58 Episode 53

Four days later, thirty people, including CB-ranked adventurers, gathered together and took a train to a station near the destination.

Rooms usually crowded with families, merchants and tourists were filled with adventurers wearing a rough atmosphere. I described it as brutal, but it was just a look, and the adventurers weren't particularly excited or, on the contrary, dark. However, a small percentage of them are nervous about the rare request of raids. It seems that some of them are already used to it. And the last few percent calmed down as if they were sharpening their spirits.

By the way, Speaking of Chloe who will be participating in this request as a special case.

"Hmmmm ......... it's a very calm taste if you put up with it."

Chloe was sipping soup close to the familiar taste of his hometown, while minimizing the look of the cup with the contents of the water bottle brought in.

As you can imagine from Chloe's words and taste, the contents of the water bottle are Danshakbatta soup. Immediately after accepting the request, she was requesting a hunt for Danshakubatta. They had to leave until today, the day of the raid's departure, and then visited the dining room in the morning market and packed Danshak grasshopper soup in a water bottle with high heat retention.

Not only do you like the taste, it also serves as a nourishment. There is no better soup than you can put up with.

"……… If you look again, no one is a good user."

After drinking the soup that was poured into the cup, Chloe looked over the adventurers who would fight together in this raid.

Not to mention B rank adventurers, C rank ranks are also limited to those who have been granted permission after the guild has evaluated their achievements. In other words, it is only a skilled person who boasts the highest abilities in the C rank.

"Mmm ... I don't want to say that I'm dazzled by the opportunity. I'm sorry to feel out of place."

It is overwhelmingly smaller than men, but female adventurers can be seen here and there. Chloe's ears and tail hanged tightly as if by the atmosphere oozing out of them. I'm really worried that my ability is enough to stand up with them.

--- Chloe was making a big mistake.

The story returned, and a duel with the nobleman.

At that time, Chloe rated Bochan's ability as "C rank even if he estimated it lightly." There is no mistake in the judgment, but among the leaders who were observing the scene as a watchmaker, the rating of "the highest level of C rank" was added.

It's obvious that among C-ranked adventurers, there is an advantage. Those who have been active at the same rank for a long time are far more powerful than those who have just been promoted to rank C. The wall from D to C is also a big wall, but the promotion from C to B and beyond rises with a much higher wall. As a result, there are many who have remained in the C rank for a few years or nearly a decade. Some have given up on promotion, and some have rejected the difficult request of rank B and are willing to rank C.

Only those leaders who gave the guild a position to oversee the guild gave him a reputation, and his abilities were genuine.

As a matter of fact, Bochan was fatal in terms of his spirit and culture, but he had a talent that was not unsuitable even if he called it "genius" if it was limited to martial arts. He couldn't handle the spells, but he had plenty of magical power, and still boasted excellent magical affinity. However, because of his immature spirit, he lost his calm judgment due to the shaking of Kanna, and lost his ability to half his ability. And, to put it further, it was undoubtedly competent at the top of the C ranks, but the boss wasn't afraid to take the shoulders. It was.

By the way, Chloe who had seriously collided with such a person from the front and fought a fight more than equal could not be weak. Chloe underestimates her ability because the Black Wolf tribe of her hometown, and also the youngsters who became adventurers at the same time, were all over the place, and she was a step behind it. In particular, those who have the same lightning attribute have already reached rank A. The complex was a hindrance to judge one's ability.

Return to the story.

The purple miso soup in a water bottle is about half a day swinging on a train while misleading the out-of-place feeling of the surroundings (although this is my misunderstanding). The train arrived safely at a station near the destination.

There are no towns or villages in the vicinity, but instead there are several mines of natural resources, and this station is a relay point for loading ore etc excavated from them on freight vehicles and transporting them domestically and abroad It is. This is one of the mines where the Goblin has created a large settlement. Although it was still an undeveloped area, it was only after the adventurers who had come to request for material had encountered a considerable number of goblins that they managed to escape and reported to the guild. After a quick investigation, it was determined that goblins were abnormal and the top individuals were confirmed.

The adventurers got off the train and set off for the mine. Rather than invading the mine today, he plans to spend the night in a camp built just before. The day has already begun to fall, and when it reaches the mine from now on, it will plunge into the night. Therefore, they are planning to spend the night in the foreground and defeat the goblins early in the morning.

The camps are being built by Imperial troops conducting joint operations in this raid. He had already been there for about two days to conduct a preliminary survey and set up a camp.

While traveling to the camp, the conversations of the adventurers were heard. When she arrives at Draknir, Chloe is unfamiliar and naturally listens to someone's conversation.

"It seems that" Ryuken "will participate in this operation." "Sure, a genius who was a former S-rank adventurer's apprentice and the youngest to reach rank A in the guild of Draknir? He hears that the adventurer has gone out of business. " "I see. I guess that the dragon sword will compete with the top-ranked individuals in the estimated B rank. That's encouraging." Achieve results in

---- Ryuken ...

Chloe's wolf's ear has even reached its name. The achievement of reaching A rank before the age of 20 was roaring not only inside the Diagar Empire but also outside the country, echoing the humorous noise. More than that, when a guild in the Hinoresle appeared at the A-ranking age of twenty years old, it was noisy.

As the sky turned into the sunset and the night approached beyond the horizon, the adventurers arrived on schedule at the camp set up by the Imperial Army.

"Okay, I'll spend the night here today. Take a break at the place prepared for you. I'll have a strategy meeting an hour later, so I'll do that!"

A B-ranked adventurer, led by the party, shouted out to the others behind him.

"Let's just keep in mind that it's not going to cause any problems! Some occupations may not fit with the military, but if you're going to make every effort here, I don't think you can aim for B rank Please disband temporarily! "

Finally, note that the adventurers rushed into the camp. Differences in discipline-controlled consciousness with adventurers who tend to prefer freedom can cause trouble. If any trouble occurs here, the test for promoting to B in the future will also fail.

After an hour of hiatus, the sound of the whistle announcing the meeting sounded on the camp. With other adventurers Chloe headed to a large open square in the center of the camp.

The number of Imperial troops deployed on the camp is around 200. The square is not large enough to gather all of them, so there were only thirty adventurers and twenty captains.

In front of the assembled adventurers and the Imperial Army commanders, a B-ranked adventurer-a young man who shouted his attention earlier, and an Imperial Army commander were lined up. I will explain the strategy for tomorrow.

(Is that a dragon sword …………?)

Chloe stared, staring at the Imperial commanders. Not a few other adventurers responded similarly.

If you can call it a dragon sword, then sword is probably the origin of the name. Indeed, it looks like it is ashamed of its origin. The back of "It" is a long sword in a stunningly decorated sheath. But what stands out more than the sword is the appearance of the person carrying it.

"I'm Regulus, Commander of the Knights of the Imperial Army! I'm also the commander of this operation!"

The commander was standing out, armored over his entire body. In the uproar of the other day, the escort of Bocchan wore a full-body armor with only his face exposed, but the Imperial Army commander completely covered his face even with a helmet and could not hear his expression. However, although it was a full-body armor, it was made considerably thinner than ordinary heavy armored armor, and it had a streamlined design and received an image that was more agile than heavy.

The Imperial captains were familiar or unresponsive. The commander-Regulus laughed bitterly, reading from the faces of the adventurers.

"Dear adventurers, thank you for accepting this request. I want you to forgive me for being a commander and not exposing me to my real face. Then, I will explain the specific strategy from my deputy secretary. "

To put it aside, this time, a man with a full-body armor, who was hiding his face slightly behind him, came out.

"I'm a deputy secretary, Dine. First of all, there's nothing special to talk about, such as a strategy meeting. To be clear, my Imperial Army and you, the savage adventurers, can keep pace. I don't have a longing for it.

Looking up from the top, the adventurers smelled subtly frustrating air, and the B-rank adventurer shouted.

"It's calm! You should be the same if you don't think that you can cooperate even if you work together with the army! It's rather worse if you breathe badly and a joke happened in front of the enemy! That's why it is more efficient to move separately from the beginning! "

In other words, it is a strategy that can not be said to be a strategy of only making a rough agreement and then moving independently. What is needed is minimal discipline, so that the adventurer and the Imperial Army do not collide.

"We don't think we'll be able to follow you from the beginning. If you don't get in the way, you'll love it. Will you be more comfortable with you?"

I'm sorry, but can't you say a little more? Chloe thought honestly, though not so angry. Why is nobility in this country defaulting from the top? That commander or deputy is not necessarily a noble, but that statement is definitely noble.

From there came magical tools that project fantasy pictures into the air. What is projected is a sketch of the mine that Goblin has built up from above, taken from above. This type of magical tool differs in the size of the projected picture, but similar types are used in many countries and are not so uncommon. In the real world, it's more like a slide used for a company presentation.

Using the terrain projected into the air, the Deputy Secretary's explanation, while continuing to look from the top, was very reasonable. They say they are barbaric, but they consider the adventurers to be a true force, yet they are arranged in such a way that they and the Imperial Army can move without struggling. Despite dissatisfaction with the adjutant's statement, no one was willing to talk about the operation.

(In addition, both the commander and the deputy commander are unrivaled users. At first glance, they are as inferior to the B-rank adventurers on the side.)

Again, rank A is already out of the ordinary, but rank B has reached a top class as an adventurer. The casual gestures and behaviors show the imperial commanders. Since he's a commander, he won't take part in frontline battles, but it's still encouraging just to see his allies back.

(It's a good opportunity to test the results of special training)

A new magic created from the idea of that white-haired boy that you love and respect. We master skillfully and show result of the game.

Chloe slammed his ears and tail and listened to his aide.
