Never touch Eldmia Egga - Episode 320
I almost cut off Heyri's conversation, but I didn't pay much attention to it because they were always making a one-sided approach to me who said they didn't like it..
Of course, as long as it was not related to the princess leech, I treated it with utmost sincerity, and I don't know how Heyri received my reaction, but at least she didn't open her eyes or express dissatisfaction in her tone when talking about other topics..
She rested for about an hour as if nothing had happened, and after hearing from Visquente and I about the distance to the Orcs and the status of the troops, she ordered the knights to maintain maintenance and attended the meeting held at the Pantheon, where she was the first to present her opinion..
"Going all-out."
correction. gave an order.
It was a completely natural reaction since she was now the commander with the highest rank, but it was not an order that could be understood in one go as she did not have any conditions to keep up with the dragon knights. Fortunately, I guess I wasn't the only one who felt that way. Karl Gulls quietly raised his hand..
"Would you mind if I ask you to explain in detail??"
"It's a simple story. Our drake knights attack the orcs, and you, the latecomers, take care of the fleeing remnants. It might be about half a day later than if the dragon knights had to fly in first and fight, but it's better than leaving a trail of trouble.."
A plan based on complete confidence. Heyri, who so naturally expressed the conviction that he would surely wipe out everything he encountered, was indeed a flying dragon knight..
Even if a famous knight had made a fuss, I would have laughed inwardly and wanted to see what his skills were, but since he was a royal dragon knight, the words felt different..
Aside from that, there seemed to be no problem with the plan itself, so I nodded as the representative of the adventurers, but after thinking for a moment, Karl Gulls opened his mouth..
"They know exactly where the village is. There may be orcs that have escaped the siege and are targeting the village, so I would like to leave the minimum number of people behind.."
"It's a valid opinion, but the dragon knight takes care of that. It may be the time when the greenery is at its peak, but in winter like this, it is impossible to escape the forest to avoid our eyes.."
Heyri did not speak confidently. He just recited it calmly, as if he were saying that the sun rises in the east. Carl Gulls, Catherine, and Visquente gave a brief exclamation of 'Ah!', and I was secretly amazed at the fantasy residents who were still unaware of the advantage that air superiority brings..
It was an admiration made up of half the pride of a modern person who doesn't usually feel that much, and half the joy that aerial raids will likely work quite well in the future..
"Lord Ega has already experienced riding a flying dragon, so he understands it right away.."
But because I couldn't react appropriately because I was feeling so proud, I ended up receiving Heyri's strange gaze..
Did he receive an order to observe my every move? I can do that up to that point, but I feel like I'm being noticed because you treated everyone so poorly just now and only used the honorific title for me..
"It was a limited experience, but at the same time, it was a definite experience. Even I, who couldn't attack on a drake, felt the advantage, so wouldn't a drake knight who can bombard through magic go without saying?."
The others looked at me in surprise at my answer, and Catherine, who had witnessed the attempted Eldmia Landing in this town, showed a strangely stiff appearance. Maybe he was scared that they might make him do a bungee jump like I did..
At that time, it was close to the ground, so it was better than skydiving without a parachute..
"Since speed seems to be the key... should we prepare enough food for two days and gather right away??"
At the end of the meeting, which was quickly organized while recalling old memories, Bisquente asked a question, and Heyri, who thought for a moment and rolled his eyes, nodded lightly..
"hmm. They will take care of the cold weather measures. In addition, once the gathering is complete, be sure to convey warnings not to approach the battlefield unless specifically instructed to do so in case a battle breaks out. I don't intend to burn the entire forest, but if there are a lot of enemies, the firepower may be unexpected.."
"I guess it's the same as attacking after the cavalry is gone.."
Heyri let out a small laugh as he looked at Karl Gulls muttering with his eyes wide open at the unexpected warning..
"It's worse than that. Because the cavalry leaves no trace of flames."
It seems that dragon knights have the temperament of arsonists..
◈
After the meeting was settled, the mercenaries and adventurers who received orders moved in perfect harmony..
In particular, the adventurers moved faster than when I beat them, and this was because the royal family directly intervened, spreading an unprecedented rumor that if they made a mistake, they could be accused of treason and their entire body could be blown away..
I was once again disgusted by their ignorance, but the results were good, so I decided to just leave them alone and go about my business. It's ridiculous that people who can veto and be deported even if a compulsory conscription order is issued are worried about treason..
Thanks to this, the people who gathered together in an instant without a single person making a fuss were very different, but their discipline was strong and they were hitting the goal. Since I had to move with Geesu, I was able to watch them from a distance while riding the dragon, and I laughed openly and laughed at their stupidity along with Geesu..
"Hey, look at those idiots. They don't know what rights they have, so they imitate soldiers for fear of treason.."
"Aren’t you just being sincere??"
"Damn, it's not sincerity, it's realism. If those guys were sincere, I wouldn't have been upset when I came here. Those bastards said they were orc laissez-faire.."
I'm glad that things are finally being resolved, but if I'm not careful, it could have led to really terrible results. Gees, who heard my grumbles, laughed heartily at first, but by the time he heard the worst consequences that the orcs could have brought about, he began to get sick of the humanity of adventurers like me..
"The logic is that only if there are monsters left in the world can one make a living by eradicating them. It's absolutely terrible.."
"Who said not? They're crazy people."
While the adventurer was talking about a story he had not seen in a while, Heyri gave a brief speech and instructions. After speaking, he gave the order to depart..
The ten or so mercenaries lined up with Wu and moved like elite troops, but the adventurers had not even undergone such training, so there was no separate Tang army. There were Asilier, Laika, and Catherine in there, but the atmosphere felt different there, perhaps because their faces were shining..
Overall, although it didn't have the grandeur of an army going out on a campaign, it had its own solemn feel, perhaps because there were many people who were very nervous. Maybe it's thanks to the residents who see them off and pray for their safety..
"Then we will leave!"
While Gees, who was exchanging hand signals with Heyri, looked disapprovingly at the adventurers who were not even walking in step, he took the reins and the flying dragon gracefully spread its wings and flew up..
Unlike when I came down slowly, I ascended quickly, and when I reached the target altitude in an instant, I could feel my body cooling down quickly even though I was wearing as much clothing as possible..
I liked the idea of flying while others were walking, but I was completely wrong.!
"Wow, I really can’t ride it in the middle of winter, but this is it?!"
Even all the hard work I put into taking care of my clothes was worthless, and my bones were still cold! Gisu burst out laughing and shouted at the scream that came out of nowhere..
"That's at least because you're behind me! We didn't become a bundle of cloth for nothing.!"
Laughing even in the face of other people's pain, my personality is starting to warp..
But it was an undeniable fact, so I shrank as much as I could and desperately hid behind Gees' back. Of course, it was an unnecessary action due to my size, but I felt like I was less cold..
Of course it was an illusion. I really don’t know anything else, but I just can’t stand this..
"To the spirits who are busy celebrating in the winter, please don't get angry and just take a look. Spirit of Fire, if you have pity on me having to face the bitter wind from high up in the sky on this cold day, please give me a little bit of warmth. I'll search, really.."
Even so, the illusion was an illusion, and I was afraid that hypothermia could come soon. I politely but desperately asked the spirit for the first time in a long time, and even though I spoke softly, Geese, who picked me up like a ghost, suddenly burst into laughter..
"ha ha ha! No, you're asking a spirit, not a god, to do that.?"
"Why are you smiling, dude? Then you get scolded by the spirit!"
"Although I may not be skilled in elemental magic, I do know a little about elemental magic, but this is the first time I've seen someone who earnestly asks a spirit like Eldmia! Do you even believe in spirit beliefs??"
"I believe in Masin Epagan."
"Hahaha! Oh really, stop! I'll fall off laughing!"
It's true, but I think it's a joke. Hey, Epagan. Although he is a bit naive and naive and gets scammed, he is a good boy. Please don't be angry... ok?
"oh...? Spirit?"
It's warmth!
The fire spirit saw me! When a warm energy began to spread from his chest and spread throughout his body, he noticed something strange and asked..
"uh? Eldmia? Suddenly, my back started to feel a little warm. Did you bring something like a magic stone stove??"
"Uh-huh! Where did you say such nonsense? The spirit gave grace!"
"yes? no? Really? Did you know how to use elemental magic??"
Gees must have been really embarrassed, so he turned around and confirmed that I wasn't holding any stove, and then looked at me with a puzzled expression..
"Hey, what are you doing dangerously? Look ahead and drive."
"This much will take care of itself. Anyway, oh my god, elemental magic? What can't you do??"
"It's just help, it's not called elemental magic. You don't get involved in battle.."
"No... Huh, I really don't know. You have a knack for surprising people every time I see you.."
I smiled leisurely as I watched Gees, who burst into laughter but took the reins to stick to his role again..
Being able to enjoy a warm flight with four dragon knights on my back made me feel refreshed, as if I could forget all the stress and hassle I had been through..
Yeah, this is a picnic..
