The day after Alexia returned. I was blurry. Today, for tomorrow's departure, Alexia and Helen will check on the women's health and the women will help. The men are taking what they take from this village in a carriage.
Even so, I don't have much to take, nor do I need to hunt and collect because Viscount Kennus lent me a carriage for food and such.
So what's wrong with the training, Mr. Levin and Mr. Hilde are not here today. I heard we were leaving here tomorrow, and he said he was going home once.
Mr. Hilde said, "I'll see you in the king's capital," so I guess you'll follow me. Mr. Levin looked at the ecra over my head and looked at me abominably.
Of course Ekla is still on my side. Now that I'm falling asleep, I'm sleeping with Swoosh on my chest. It's cute to scratch my chest crunchy with the occasional "cu" ringing. What are you dreaming about?
But it's kind of unusual for me to be alone outside my room. For once Ekla is there, but he is asleep, and the spirits are asleep on Ekla. Wright was helping Alexia for some reason. They'll calm the ladies down too if they handle it with that smile.
There's someone at home from Alexia's, and Douglas and the others say it's a school. Even if we go to the Arcadia pope these days, Caro will be here. It would be a good idea to slow down like this because it was a doozy place here.
I'll point my right hand at the sun. And it reminds me of training. Scales that are bounced no matter how many attacks. Mr. Levin says that Level 9 magic can't make it through the attack. Then what am I missing? That's what I'm thinking.
"Cum!"
and Ekla was rubbing her face against my chest. Looks like she was awake at some point. And what's the matter? He leans his neck as if to say so and looks at me.
"Nothing."
With that said, I'll stroke Ekla's head a little harder. Is Ekla happy, too? She makes her feathers pat with a cuckoo chirp. Ugh, it made me feel a little easier that I was about to sink. I guess I'll just have to do what I can now. All right, now let's love this little dragon all the time!
"Uri Uri ~!
"Cuh, cull!
I was stuck with Ekura until Mae came looking for me.
Next day
"Everybody on board?
"Yeah, it's okay."
I see a carriage lined up behind me. There are women on board inside. But it would be amazing to have a dozen carriages lined up. He's like a trafficker. And look over at everyone gathered around.
"Well, good to see you all."
When I say that, it splits into carriages. When all these carriages line up and move on, they should be noticed as they go. Some of them will be bandits and demons. We decided to split them into three parts to deal with when they showed up.
Firstly, I, Lene, Alexia and Aeris, who can use magic. Alexia and Aeris are the carriages in front of number one, I'm in the middle, and Lene is behind number one.
Next, put on Ferris, Douglis, Kate, Burton, Elea and Sizuk, who are good at close range systems. Douglis and Elea, Kate are in the carriage behind number one, and Sizk, Burton, are in the carriage in front of number one. Ferris is a carriage in the middle.
And the rest of Helen is in the middle and Emma is behind number one. Ekla is over my head, of course. I'm telling everyone to launch magic over the sky if anything happens. You'll be able to deal with this when something happens. I also tell your wife to stop when the magic is shot.
"All right, let's do it, Aerys"
"Yes."
And I'll be ready to activate the magic when I make sure everyone but Aeris gets in the carriage. The reason is to crush the village where we stayed.
We all discussed it yesterday because Alexia told us that there was nothing too good about leaving a deserted village. Even if it stays like this, bandits and demons will just live there. Then Alexia says it's better to get further.
When I tell the people who lived here about it, they say they don't mind because they don't want to come back here anymore. Baron Mangus, the lord here, also said he abandoned this village. I don't even have to bother to leave you.
And we decided to make this village a better place. If you want to live there, you can get back on your feet.
"I'm coming. Fire Magic Flame Storm!
Aeris activates fire magic and unleashes a tornado of flames. The houses caught in that tornado burn one after the other. The women who lived here from the carriage peek at the condition. It's where I lived, no matter how much damage I suffered. There will also be thoughts. Some cry.
And when it burns out to some extent, only burn marks remain,. I'll put out the fire that's still there with water magic. All that remains is burn marks. No one will live in this.
"Sorry, Aeris. I let you do something wrong."
It's okay. It's okay. It's okay.
That's what I said. Aeris goes to the carriage laughing. Thanks.
Then I'll take the carriage and leave, too. This number of carriages will slow you down. When I think about doing wild boarding, I want to go somewhere a little more promising.
If we keep going, they'll pass near Baron Mangus' territory, but I don't want to stop by because the Baron will resent Alexia and the others. Because in the worst case scenario, you should try to kill him. If you tell the king he was murdered by bandits, you'll be better off on the spot.
About 6 hours to be rocked by a carriage while thinking about it. I got out in the morning, but the sun is also at a time when it's time to start setting from the top. Helen said it was time to see the Baron's land. I don't care.
I'm bored with the view that Ekla hasn't changed, and here, my hair is annoying. It will fall out. Ferris also looks free to rub his tail hairs. Helen is reading the book she had.... You don't get drunk very often.
If you were impressed that way, suddenly, there would be a sound with the bahn, the bahn. And the carriage stops. That means the magic was shot over the sky. Is something wrong?
"Mr. Ray!
"Oh, you two stay in the carriage. I'll see how it goes."
Tell them that and get off the carriage. When I asked your lord which shot him, he said he was shot from the previous carriage. Are you from Alexia? I rush to the front carriage. But as far as I can tell from here, nothing's happened.
Alexia and the others were getting off the carriage in front of number one.
"Alexia, what happened?
"Ray, something bad happened to you."
As I tilt my neck, Alexia gives me a finger. It is thin because it is still far away, but I can see it like a city.
"Could it be over there"
"Yeah, baron mangus territory. And look at that."
And Alexia gives a finger to a different person. There's some kind of mockingbird rolling up, but what is that?
"I saw it in my telescope, but that's smoke. And it's the goblins that are waking it up."
... Huh? I see the smoke again. It's enough to see something winding up from here. How many goblins are there to make all that smoke?
"From what I've seen, you're not going to drop a thousand. Including the invisibility of the smoke, there could be nearly 2,000."
Why do you have that number? I think of that, and then I think of the village I burned.
"... Could you have left that baron, not only the bandit, but even the goblin?
"... that's all I can think about. Maybe more because they left the damaged village behind."
"But there's got to be money out of the country to the guild, right? And what are the adventurers doing?
"Suppose you didn't even tell the guild that the village was under attack?
I shut up about that word. They don't have an Adventurer's Guild in the Baron's territory, and they can't go without going to Viscount Kennus next door, even as they ask. Baron Mangus didn't even make it.
Ask Alexia about the population of Baron Mangus territory and she says it's about a thousand people. Then there would also be about a hundred soldiers for policing. No matter how many gates there are, if only those numbers could attack you......
"What are you gonna do, Ray?
Alexia asks me. I look at the goblins again. It will be a big mess, but there won't be an hour for the Goblins to reach Baron Territory. If you fly the carriage from here, it's a critical distance in time.
And if you look back, Alexia looks at me anxiously in front of you. I guess Alexia wants to go help.
But I also see a flicker behind me. Because there are carriages lined up there. I guess you also don't want to involve the women you can't fight.
I don't have a choice. I don't care about Baron Mangus, but I can't stand the unrelated inhabitants being sacrificed. If we go, even the worst will buy us time to miss the inhabitants.
Let the carriage ladies be kept by the next Viscount. From here, they can go in a day. I'd like to ask for reinforcements if I can.
"Helen, I'm sorry, but could you take the carriage to Viscount Kennus?"
You must have figured out my favor. Helen nods at me. It's Ferris and Douglis for the escort, Burton for Lene, and Emma for Sizuk. In case anything happens, I'm telling you to go for Viscount Territory without stopping.
The rest of us, Alexia and Aerys. Kate and Elea are goblins.
"I'd like you to follow Helen if you can, too, Ekla."
"Cuh!"
I don't like Ekla! But like I said, I cling to my head with all my strength, and I shake my neck nasty. I don't have a choice. Should I ask you to fly away at the worst?
"I get it. Stay out of my head."
"Cur!"
Ekla sounds happy.
"Ray."
That's where Alexia comes in. Looks like everyone's ready to go for the goblin. Even if it's ready, I'll just transfer the package.
"Oh, let's go"
We're all leaving in the carriage. Do you work hard for the people?
