Vol 14 Chapter 269 (2/2)
“There are ht”
On Breid’s words, the ed his shoulders
“Aren’t they going up because all the adventurers are gathering in Beis pop up everywhere”
Breid sought the opinion of the Baronet stationed nearby Regardless of merit, he was stationed nearby for Breid to seek his council
“Baronet, if we’re to disarm traps as we proceed, it will take tih the traps?”
The Baronet spoke without any fluster
“That will lead to expenditure If an army of our scale marches, it will reach their ear whether we like it or not If it doesn’t, that means our foe is incompetent There is no need to worry Even if there are more enemies than reported, we have over three times their number There is no ill lose”
Breid took in that opinion, and thought
(If we put out casualties, and keep troops lost to a e The reports say they don’t reach ten thousand, but our side has thirty five thousand Normally, I’d have liked four times their forces, but if it’s for Celes’ sake, the elites have no fear of death This ability to break through isn’t soo out into a field battle is low, but… we’ve prepared siege weapons as well Even if they hole up in that south Beie!)
Breid deter to sin either way, there was no need to push his forces to march on So he decided to avoid traps as the main force proceeded forwards…

… Night
Eva led an elven clan- what’s more, a clan that lived in the forests- to approach the ene out
There were dark elves stationed around to protect her, and the ones swift on their feet had just returned from recon
Wearing not black, but deep blue cloth, they had slipped into the darkness, and scouted out the ene to Eva
“There’s no doubt about it Those of the Baronet’s have put up the mark If it’s like this, we can ai arrows”
Eva looked afar
“I can’t see a thing”
The surrounding elves laughed And while apologizing to Eva…
“If we don’t use our night eyes, it’ll be a problem to our lifestyles Unlike the clans that left the forests, our legs and eyes and bows are our pride”
The dark elves dispersed, prepared fla arrows, and fired them Eva ran off protected by thee, setting it alight
The oil or so up supplies
The elves iuished the flame, and headed for a nearby forest, an arrow fired from a completely different place into where they were before
In an instant, hundreds of arrows had been fired, showing the elves the difference in their supplies
“How envious They can keep firing those for so long Even soclose as we are, their ai in skill”
Eva followed so as not to fall behind anyone
“I had a bit of confidence in myself, but you’ve exceeded that”
There, a dark elf woman near her spoke
“You don’t need it Just do your best to be liked by that man If you do, the chief said it would be linked to a rise in our status”
It seems the reason the elves helped Eva wasn’t just because she was of the Nihil Eva s attained such determined comrades
“Just leave it to s to grab Lyle’s heart through the ear More i”
Looking behind, the knights were riding horses waving lanterns around, and inspecting the environment But the dark elves shot arrows as they ran
“No probleet that far, the horses are just another target”
The knight dropped the arrow-pierced lantern, and a different arrow hit his horse, causing it to rear and throw him off
“Not bad”
“Thisthe forest Stay close”
Surrounded by dark elves, Eva entered the forest

… A village near Beim
As the adventurers and soldiers wouldn’t come out of Beim, a Baronet had led his own hundred and fifty troops towards it And noas cru at the knees
No, one hundred and fifty was a story of a few hts and soldiers ree he had brought
And a large woround… with only two, they had annihilated the Baronet’s unit bare-handed
The large woainst her left palm
“No resistance at all When you had us surrounded, that’s the best you can do?”
Surrounding them with spears, and with the support of archers, the Baronet’s soldiers had lost to just toirl
“What… what are you people!”
Even if they were close to Bei at Beiirl jue, she landed before the Baronet’s eyes
But as she did, the surrounding knights and soldiers were blown off their feet
Bloay, and as they rolled along the ground, they stopped ht he was seeing a dreairl with the full moon at her back
“Sorry, but you all raed however you liked, and you don’t need anyone to hold back, right? You caht… you’re already resolved for death, right?”
Seeing soht hand, when she swung it, the Baronet’s line of visio took a sudden turn And when he saw his own body collapse lirew dark…

… Once the fighting was over, May looked at the village chief who approached
It seeained flesh around the stoer wear his old armor, as he came with his weapons alone
“Y-you’re adventurers, right? The way you fight… you’ve got considerable skill I beg of you! Protect our village!”
In regards to the chief’s please, May shrugged her shoulders Marina didn’t have any intent to do the negotiations from the start
(Though Marina should bethan me)
“Unfortunately, you’re mistaken We’re uess We’ve been driven out by the Guild, and we just happened to pass by But we do have business elsewhere, so we must be on our way”
The man knew of Lyle’s name, and knew the fact he had been driven out, so he dropped his shoulders
“I-I see When it couy from Redant Fortress… yeah, I don’t have theadventurer But why did you save us?”
May folded her arms
“Because we couldn’t leave you be But we can’t protect you forever So you’re going to run Bahnsei ruckus all over the place, and es have been completely annihilated”
After May said that, Marina accoe
And far enough away froers, May took on her quilin for down at the ground
“… That boy really is thorough If the folks we saved make their way to Beim, the rumors will definitely spread Beim… no, the Guild and Merchants will definitely see hell”
May marveled at those actions of humanity
“That’s how Lyle does things Humans… really are scary”
Saying that, May searched for another village under attack May and Marina were going around saving villages being attacked by small-scale forces Mainly to have their residents flee to Beim and spread the rumors…
