Episode 11 Fighting Alone

Apart froe to the north, the other cardinal points of Arra City are reat plains

As an ih the flat terrain Travelers would be very grateful for it, but the open area has no shelter or detour routes and the view range is wide, so other than clashi+ng with an enehts

“…A trench is the best we could do huh? But it would be nice if we had the chance to dig up the trench”

While viewing the enemy rider who rode on the top of a beast type monster, Vice Guild Leader Gald muttered to himself with a bitter face

It doesn’t , it’s still aonly their instinct, thetowards the city, but contrary to expectations, the eneanized that the first part of the plan is beginning to fall apart

The plan was to dig the trench and lie in wait to aet the masses of enemies that come to attack First, the initial strike would be conducted by archers and catapults froicians and elementalists who hid in the trench would conduct the attack from a middle distance

At that time, fro and standing by will leap out, scatter individually, and attack the enemies

With the situation fully in chaos, thein and in one fell swoop, ai head That’s hoas the plan on the hu to use the riders to reach the huicians Then with that, thetheet into hand to hand co position

“―I hope they were brought down by the archers andcloser”

I don’t have field experience, so for that reason I left all the rights to coician here, I aulps down his bitter saliva

While gazing aimlessly at the front of the battle operation corasslands, there was a face anized, reflexively he called out to that person to halt

“OI, BOY!”

“Ye-yes!”

That person as being called out, Joey, spontaneously stood completely still on the spot

“What the hell are you doing?”

Gald uttered his shocked words while walking slowly towards him

“O-of course, I a in battle to intercept the monsters!”

“Haa? You’re still F rank right? Didn’t the obligatory mobilization order tell E rank and below to stay back?

“…That’s true but…but I can’t stay silent at a ti my sword!”

“You’ll just be a hindrance A boy like you should get away from this place quickly!”

Judging that what Joey was doing was child egoism, Gald spit out his words with irritated tone

“…Where will I get away to anyway? Isn’t the shelter already full oht? If we lose here those people will be eaten by the ht?”

“Gh!”

Gald sunk into silence after getting hit with a bullseye

Surely the great ed, or D rank and above so to speak, are participating in the battle according to the guild’s obligatory mobilization order, but they number 7,000 people An additional 500 people from the stationed army and 2,500 volunteers total 10,000 troops Compared to the 7,000 troops of the monsters it should be a 3000 surplus, but theoretically, to deal with monsters there needs to be at least three times the number of humans compared to monsters

Presently their nuh to overwhelm the monsters

At the current time, they’re in such a bind that they could use anybody who is willing to fight

“…But you know, boy, you are still young No one will complain even if you escape alone now”

Hearing such words, Joey gives off a strange expression like s

“Mia-san also said that to me recently”

“Mia huh…”

Her existence is similar to Gald, who until this year was unain an, but she stubbornly covered her ears and even now, she is here so the relief squad

“―Besides,” Joey s, Hiyuki made her appearance all of sudden”

“…Muh”

Gald frowned hearing that name After all, it’s unlikely that Hiyuki had any intention to help at all according to her declaration when she disappeared back then

“She said, ‘Joey, you’re weak, therefore you should take Mia-san and run away’, really having such useless concerns Saying things like I’m unreliable as she likes”

“Muh…it’s annoying, but I have the same opinion as her”

“I won’t do that―no, I can’t That girl wasn’t escaping either, she said soonna watch this on a special seat’ If that’s the case, in order to o ahead!”

Towards Joey who said that full of determination, Gald was about to say ‘That person who you fell in love with is more unthinkable than you think’, but he saw the boy’s facial expression and sed his words Faintly, his eyes and mouth loosened

―That boy is showing the face of a real man

“Boy…no, Joey We are adventurers; even in this battle operation we consider our survival i the kind of behavior that irls worried!”

“I understand!”

Joey was replying full spirit and joined up with other group of adventurers with a quick pace
