Vol 12 Chapter 233 (1/2)
Who was Being Chased Again?
… The leader who’d run into the forest ed to reach the exit with a few of his reliable comrades
A break in the trees… once they breached it, what they witnessed was the blazing sight of the ca
After one confirs with their Skill
“… Leader, there are three survivors”
In a place where there had been more than five hundred naht, then that was fine, but looking at the situation, he couldn’t tell how et away
Black charred corpses littered the ground, and in that place where the stench was so harsh it made everyone drape clothes over their faces, the adventurers walked on
They knew there were no enemy presences left around, as they had a member with such a Skill Those reliable comrades had known the leader for many a year
Heading for a survivor, they found a youngon a crate that had yet to catch fla odd jobs under the mercenaries
“Oy, get a hold of yourself”
After one of the adventurers fed him water, the odd-jobs man opened his eyes
“What happened?”
On the leader’s question, the man held his head, and wept as he spoke
“Those things… those things woke up They burned everything… and recovered their equip women’s’ armor as a joke were…!”
He had seen quite a terrible scene, and his breathing was all over the place And he left the leader an important fact
“They asked everyone Are you a member of the East Branch? … and after we showed our Guild Cards, only the East Branch adventurers were left to flee…”
Hearing that, the leader guessed those things ht he had defeated the over how terrible a means they’d used, he felt anxiety at how the East Branch was spared
His comrades were of the same opinion One spoke up
“Leader, this is a troublesome one It’s possible this was all a faction-ithin the Guild I kneas strange When they said to go teach the Hero of Fort Redant who saved up all a lesson”
You don’t have to say it so late in the ga co, they were all skilled members
But thinking to the ones he had lost, it was unbearable
(How et back on our feet from here? We’d finally breached the sixtieth floor, and been recognized as first rate, yet… three years? No Five years at the very least If things don’t work out, ten… even if I usefirst)
Age-wise, he was a little passed his golden years Even if he could fight without probleo that way any further than that Reviving his party as first-rate was a hopeless prospect
“… We’re returning to Beim What of the dolls?”
As the leader stood, the odd-jobs nored it Noasn’t a time to save another
A reliable adventurer looked around before shaking his head
“There aren’t any nearby Let’s go”
Running right off with their few, the Leader headed for Beim…

… Inside the forest
The h his leg
By the tied before Novem, the survivors had already reached an easily countable number
The mercenaries bound by Miranda’s threads
Novelance to the back of a tree a little ways away, and perhaps the dark elves understood so from that, as they surrounded the immobile men
The chief was kicked over, and collapsed in front of Noverin
“How about you show a bit irly? You could at least show o Well, I’ h if you were a harlot, I assure you’d be popular”
Hearing that vulgar laugh and provocation, she understood her opponent had resolved himself for death You could also say his senses had dulled towards that called the end
To such a chief, Nove, and left theround so they’d be clearly visible
At first wondering what sort of papers they were, and hoping for the prospect of survival But upon inspecting them, a wrinkle descended on his brow
“Who was it Who betrayed us!?”
The chief glared at Novem, and yelled out What ritten were the details on the ade… the information maintained by the Guild
With the foruilds as well, it didn’t look like anything any inforathered and written up
The chief instantly suspected a traitor, but Novem spoke expressionlessly
“No one betrayed anyone from the start That it would come to this was but an inevitability”
Novem hadn’t spoken a lie The Guild had no intent to betray the adventurers they’d chosen a attackers, and from the start, it was only that Lyle’s party had information from the start, and prepared for their victory
The chief was mortified
“… I beg of you! Take ive it! No way in hell I’d forgive the bastard who set me up! If it’s money, I’ve souild how scary we…”
He had been dragged into a factional war of the Guild It seems that’s how the chief felt
Right after he said that, by the three Valkyries… Units One, Two and Three, he was stuck through with spears
Novem looked over the scene
“There is no need We will be having you all disappear here I won’t let a single one return alive And it seems you’ve been mistaken”
Novem leaned over for him, and smiled
“The verdict on Beim is unanimous That is all”
Upon hearing those words, the chief’s face twisted in despair, as he retired his breath Around hi for their lives at once, but…
“You’ve run amuck as much as you pleased You should’ve understood ould happen if you ever lost, right? And over those that beg for their lives, I prefer those that fight on to the end How unfortunate for you”
The Valkyries held weapons in their hands, ending all the adventurers who’d survived
At that moment, an unnatural sound came from a tree a little away But no one tried to turn towards it
After Noveave an order to retreat from the site
At the end, after sending a glance to the adventurer hiding in the tree…

The adventurer party that said they would help in in Cartaffs
On top of five hundred Gallerian soldiers And five hundred soldiers of Cartaffs Using thatto Beim’s territory
We had split into a number of units, to lay in wait
There, one of the fleeing adventurer parties headed over to us
“Please help us! We’re being chased!”
I earing a hood, and on those words, I removed it
“Would the ones chasing you happen to be my coht?”
When I said that with a smile, the adventurers’ faces froze
But one a them was an adventurer of the East Branch I’d seen his face a number of times around the Guild, and I nodded
“Ah, that person can pass Good work over there”
When I said that, the adventurers’ eyes gathered on one
“Eh? Ah… huh?”
He seemed to be confused, so I issued orders with a smile
“Please give him a share of water and food There’s a distance to Beier? Ah, would you like some rest first?”
When the East Branch adventurer nodded aardly, he was led further in And to the other adventurers
“Now the rest of you are over Good work to you as well”
One of theave a protest
“Don’t screith me! Why is he to survive, and we… could it be that from the start…!”
I looked over the adventurers from some other branches, and spoke
“And so? When you’re attacking soht you’d be left alive if you lost, right? Don’t you think that sounds just a little strange?”
There, the adventurer put a hand on his weapon, and faced me
I put a hand to my Katana hilt, but the one tosword, its red blade warped like a whip and expanded
It moved as if it had a will, and carved into the adventurers in an instant The adventurers collapsed, and Lumilla-san walked a little away
The sword had already returned to its original form
“You sure do soht out”
While I thought she would a bit unnerved, Lud fun Rather, this person was definitely wealthy in battle experience Even when cutting down huhtest
“… It’s to win”
When I said that, Ludhed
“Does it weigh on your ardless, I’ll rate you highly You’re a h when the time comes for it”
