Vol 1 Chapter 15 (1/2)

Full Over

In front of the ree that had probably been abandoned quite a long tio

Right now, no one lived here, but the slight traces that it was inhabited remained

“So this is the Bandits’ stronghold”

Novem held her staff as she stood next to s

Perhaps because we had several tiroup had become quite lax

“Lyle-sama, our morale is too low”

“Yeah, that’s a problee”

Unprepared adventurers dressed as soldiers

There were so and talking about how they were going to use their rewards

Looking at theiving them two silver

While earnestly working, I didn’t even earn ten large copper

I thought it was just a little unfair

Now that I had completed the most mundane of requests, I could understand how extraordinary of a reward two silver was

But, I understood that wisdos

『If you asked me to lead this bunch in battle, I would usually refuse, but… well, this tiuys’ atmosphere is vital』

Hoould the enemy make their appearance?

They must have their countermeasures already

It took a full day for us all to reach the destination Once the sun comes up tomorroe planned to launch our attack

I look around myself

“… Noveether There are some other female adventurers scattered here and there, so you can act alongside them”

When I said that, Novem shook her head

“No, I will be by Lyle-sa, I think I will be of use”

It looked like she planned to not leave my side

The ancestors were also of the same opinion

『Lyle, don’t leave her It would be troublesoe They’ve probably already noticed that Nove, the ones around us right now… you can’t trust them』

It was just as the Fifth said

We hurriedly gathered them around the mine, but there were enemies inside

Of course, the ones whp noticed it were all of the ancestors

『They’re no fools Theyas they have their leader, they’ll be able to take action… because of that, do you kno h?』

The Fifth’s voice became low

The family heads of history detested bandits No wait, they were a headache to all feudal lords

They were also an ene territory, then they also became someone else’s problem

“Lyle-sama, the preparations are in order”

Novem informed me, and I nodded

“Let’s do this according to plan To prepare for toht… call only Lockwarde-san over She probably wouldn’t be satisfied with so like, ‘it was over before we noticed it’”

Novem nodded

“Then let’s go together”

I took Novem and headed for Lockwarde-san’s place

This ithout saying, but the heads of history warnedNovem alone

Inside the mine…

“Leader! They’ve co camp”

Hearing his subordinate’s report, the large rinned

He tightly gripped the red gem and took up the axe he left close by in his other hand

It was one of his spoils of war, the weapon of a lord

Clenching the large battle-axe, he looked at the gem tied to his left Cloth rapped around it and his hand several times to make sure he didn’t drop it

“They’re ht plenty a time ourselves How ‘bout we teach them what a real battlefield’s like?”

He said that with a smile, and the other bandits also reached for their weapons

The ones who had infiltrated as adventurers had also returned to give a report

All twenty seven were gathered

“Good! We’re launching a night raid!”

He made a declaration

But a single one of his men looked down and raised a voice of surprise

“L-leader!”

“What!?”

In the place where they had all gathered, san to pour in

『Oh, that s out』

While listening to the Fifth Generation’s voice, I took the wooden branches and boards we took with us and set fire to them

They had their leaves still attached, and they were of a variant of tree well-known for letting out a lot of smoke

They also had an effect of irritating the eyes

“Noveht?”

“Yes, I can still go on”

As Novem said that, Lockwarde-san beside her opened her eyes wide and observed the situation

“W-what is theto?”

I swung my head from side to side

“That’s way too blatantly obvious, so once the eneet the initiative Also, the enemies that had infiltrated us already went back, so…”

The portion of the bandits that had hidden theh by the ancestors… eneration

At the same time, it became clear they had other conspirators

Through our search, I was a little surprised when the names came out, but…

“Infiltrated? Where did you learn so like that!? If you knew, shouldn’t you have captured them, or, well…”

『… When you’re crushi+ng theet soe on yourself by the leftovers It was quite a waste, but that’s why Lyle put on his stupid act, and even spread the money Oh, it looks like this isn’t the time to explain Lyle!』

To the confused Lockwarde-san, I said there was no time to explain and drew my sabre

『Okay, if it’s about Skill Effects, I can assist you Use pops… the Fifth generation’s Skill with mine, Lyle』

The Sixth Generation called out, and I activated the Skills

Because of the Skill that increased my abilities from ten to twenty percent, 【Full Over】, even if was temporary, I became able to handle them

The Fifth Generation’s Skill was 【Map】

And the Sixth Generation’s Skill that he recoside it was 【Search】

Map was a Skill that let one take in and observe their surroundings as a map

Right now, I could understand the structure of the mines like the back of my hand

Search was… one that allowed ement of enemies and traps

Both of them were extraordinary and useful Skills

However, using them normally was an extreme expenditure of Mana So even if I wanted to use them, it was only for a brief period of time

I confirmed the situation around me

It didn’t seem that I could detect any traps within thearound them

“As I thought, they have an escape route… I’e to Zelphy-san?”

The one I made a request to was an adventurer

One who specialized in the line of collecting ets… you could also call him a bounty hunter

“The info’s nice and accurate and all, but… could it be you have a Skill?”

The adventurer man was shocked as he heard me specify their formation

I smile and play it off

“Well, I wonder”

As I said that, he apologized and hurriedly scampered off

He earing a black robe, so it looked as if he disappeared into the darkness as he ran off

“He had quite some force to him So you hired skilled ones as well? I’m a little relieved”

As Lockwarde-san said that, I tilted my head to the side

“I’h”

“Eh?”

Lockwarde-san didn’t seeht, Noveic and started preparing another spell

The other adventurers also prepared their weapons for the approaching enemies

“They’re quite fast… Fro”
