Vol 14 Chapter 270 (1/2)
The Worst Man
… The nurew by the day
Today once ate to seek help Seeing that, a young adventurer on guard duty clenched his fist
“Why did we abandon them!? If ent out, those Bahnseimian Cowards wouldn’t have been able to do as they pleased in Beim!”
While he was right, he was just as wrong
It’s true there were loads of skilled adventurers in Bei them one at a ti the average soldier But the adventurers who had never experienced the place called the battlefield couldn’t understand it
The one on duty with the young lad was a forty-year-old adventurer considering his retire particularly special about him, but he had packed in various sorts of experiences
He had stepped onto the battlefield out of a want for s went there He was told to lead soiven hiether But fro adventurers around were complete amateurs
They had taken on one out to slay monsters With only that level of experience, they truly couldn’t understand a battlefield
It was hard when both sides had even a thousand, so when it ca a hundred thousand… theadventurers
“What will co our war potential? Howto save them?”
The young adventurer spoke
“That goes without saying As long as there’s a hundred, we’ll be able to do it To save the villages, and turn back those Bahnseis!”
Froe in the city, they had learned the pillaging forces acted in units of a few hundreds On the words of the young adventurer who had just heard that, the man shook his head
“… If you go out with those numbers, you’ll just be surrounded by double that, and beaten to the ground”
Bahnseireater nueable on the terrain of Beiht about it normally, Beim was cornered
But there werethe adventurers who didn’t understand that It was as if they couldn’t grasp that not against ainst the same humans
No, the scale was so large, they couldn’t fully process it
“We fought our way to the twentieth floor and survived it all! Our ability is enough to take us all the way to the thirtieth There’s no e’d lose so easily”
Seeing the young adventurer’s overflowing confidence, the man touched the iron helmet over her head, and pulled it down to cover his eyes
“… Do you guys knoho’s in charge here?”
There, the adventurers looked at the man
“What? You’re telling us to do what you say? Sorry, but no matter what an unskilled adventurer says, on’t…”
Before the young adventurers looking down on him, the man spoke
“Wrong I uy above ate”
As the adventurers , the man confirmed his suspicions as he resolved himself…
(Do you think we have a guy up there who’s carried out war on this scale? When our enemy’s one that wars for breakfast lunch and dinner?)

… Beim’s center
In that place where the ather, coers who’d taken shelter came in every day
Dees were of the better sort The more troublesome ones were the claims that they were the victims, and should thus be treated better
They booked out most of the inns, but no h If they stuffed people into unused buildings, the complaints flooded in Within that terrible situation, theof all was…
‘Why was Lyle exiled?’
Or so they protested That he defended against a large ar referred to as the miracle of Redant; it was all recent events, and fresh in the peoples’ memory
Now Redant Fortress was so easily slipped through, and voices for them to take responsibility for these casualties piled up by the day
Theout discussion on how to deal with things henceforth
But the reality:
“It isn’t reed to his exile verdict!”
“But it’s true the South Branch forced it through!”
“And the mercenaries of the South Branch even took the initiative to invite Bahnseim in! I won’t let you say you have no responsibility in this!”
The South Branch executive was being condemned by the other executives andBahnseim were mostly mercenaries of the South Branch, anyone would want to shout at him
And day after day, these et on track
“Now isn’t the tis! We need to think up how to deal with Bahnseim at once!”
“The refugees who entered the city are going to raise a rebellion before they even get here So we have a need for someone to take responsibility for it!”
“I heard they’re pillaging around Why not sent ten to twenty thousand out for relief?”
“Who will lead theun its march on the city”
As their o anywhere, their response was delayed In order to protect their trade enterprises in the city of Beim, the merchants didn’t want to send soldiers out
The Guild had its face, so it wanted to send out adventurers to assist the residents of Beim’s territory
Opinions were divided, and at the end of every , the same line would come out…
“… Why don’t we send an envoy to South Bei about it”
Voices to seek out Lyle’s aid were rising and when their own positions finally began to feel dubious, it flowed towards seeking help from South Beim… from Lyle
But anyone in Beim understood They were the ones who exiled the boy, and from the eyes of a third party, Lyle was completely the victim
Theup new enterprises in South Bei for help, would help really come?
And thewas…
“Even if we seek their help, South Beim doesn’t have that ae?”
The one atched this repeat every uard Tahnia The head of the East Branch… Tahnia’s superior spoke
“This situation is dangerous to South Beim as well, so there is a possibility they will cooperate No, perhaps I should say there was one Now that we’ve come so far, they won’t make it in time”
Tahnia to her superior
“Is it no good to give hiside an adequate reward?”
The superior laughed a bit
“Will thatlike that? Tahnia, what does the Tanya who manned the receptions desk think?”
Tahnia thought a bit before shaking her head Her silky black hair that extended to her shoulders swayed
“… It’s not happening No matter what you present to him, I can’t say for sure that Lyle will save Beim”
Her superior nodded To such aroom, a notice came in A Guild personnel out of breath violently threw open the door
“With an army of approximately ten thousand, South Beiions!”
It was better news than Beim could have wished for…

… Breid was irritated with the attacks that cale day
When night cahs of horses, and the clashi+ng of metal The toll of the bell On top of that, with the attacks under the cover of knight, they were facing a shortage of supplies
It wasn’t like they didn’t have enough to get through the journey Looking at it as a whole, it was a trivialby the day
The Baronet was on horseback, lined nearby Breid Breid sent a glance towards him
“Is Lyle’s party really unprepared for this?”
