Episode 318: The enemy's misunderstanding

We arrive near the headquarters of the military base from where Noelle is.

If we're in Luck's shadow where even an S-rank can't find us because the stealth ability is so high, almost all security will be meaningless, so this country will be completely defenseless in no time.

It doesn't get caught in heat source detection, vibration detection, or weight detection, and even security locks we slip through even the slightest gap with the power of the shadows.

All the important bases in this country have already been exposed by Luck, and a large number of Luck's Kagema armies are sent there to carry out a covert operation where the numbers speak for themselves.

"Mow them down!! Also, collect all the confidential information!!"

"Won!"

While saying the lines I wanted to say once, I unleash a large army of Luck's Kagema towards the base.

In response to my instructions, Luck rushes into the base while hiding in the shadows.

"Guwaa!?"

"There's nothing ... Guwaa!!"

"Nugo!!?"

From inside, one after another, soldiers can be heard screaming strangely after being attacked by Luck.

Even if there are high-ranked explorers, an overwhelming amount of violence, and monsters that can even fight B-rank monsters, rush them in the thousands, tens of thousands.

Moreover, if it is a surprise attack, then there would be a chance of victory against the higher ranks of the army, and the lower ranks would be helpless.

"Okay, let's invade too."

""Roger.""

We wait until the Kagema invasion is over to some extent, and then we try to infiltrate the base.

"Luck, if there is someone strong enough to win, please let me know."

"Won!"

"Oh, I'm counting on you."

WHen I give instructions to Luck, it cries out 'leave it to me', so I firmly nod.

Once inside, the scenery visible from the shadows is filled with soldiers lying defeated on the ground, and leaning against the walls. Not a single person is standing.

I thought there might be someone a little stronger than a soldier, but it seems that's not the case.

There is no point in hiding, so we step out of the shadows.

"It seems that the low-ranking soldiers were defeated by the violence of the number of Luck's Kagema."

"Naturally. If you are attacked by a horde of monsters that you can't even hole up against, even the most robust military facilities will be destroyed without being able to do anything."

When I go out and mutter at the sights around me, Rei nods and agrees with me.

At the point when Rei, an S-rank explorer with an excellent sensing system, could not perceive it, most humans could not detect the signs of Luck.

I heard that almost no country has explorers of SS-rank or higher, and not all high-rank explorers should serve the country.

In other words, it can be said that there are almost no people in the base who can detect Luck.

What kind of horror is it when you suddenly get attacked in a base you thought was peaceful. It's just a nightmare.

I thought we could do something about them to some extent, but when I actually tried it, I never thought it would be this effective ...

"It's exactly as Rei says."

"Luck is amazing!!"

"Won!"

I am once again impressed with Luck's amazing growth.

Luck has almost completely overwhelmed this base with the power of a single animal. When Nanami and I mofu'd and praised Luck, Luck barked with an expression that it wasn't as dissatisfied as it would have others believe.

"Alright, let's talk to someone who seems to know the situation."

"Right, I think a high-ranked person would know something."

We walk around the military facility proudly.

"Here ..."

Following Luck's guidance, I am led to the room of the most luxurious and pompous guy.

When we go inside, it's designed to intimidate people who come in with unnecessary glitter. Inside, there is a human sitting on a leather chair that seems to be high-ranked on a single office desk, unconscious with his eyes rolled back, showing the whites of his eyes.

Luck used its Kagema to get him off the chair and lay him in the empty space in front of the desk.

"Get up."

"Buhee!?"

When I kick him away without using my power as an explorer, the fat pig-like man wakes up.

"Where is this!? Why is it dark!? My hands and feet are tied!? Hey!! Who's there!! Is anyone there!?"

The man yells like a pig as soon as he wakes up.

The man can't see anything because Luck used the power of shadows to obscure his vision and bind his limbs.

"Noisy."

"Fugo!!!"

Shia also kicks him away because she can't bear to hear it.

"Uu! ... Uuhh! ... Who are you guys?"

The man, who understands that there are people around him who are restraining him, asks us about our identities.

"Nobody. We're just here to help the Saint you kidnapped."

"The Saint!? ... Buhi buhi! ... I see, so that's what it is. Is it okay to do this to me!! If you don't release these restraints, I can't guarantee the Saint's personal safety, you know?"

As soon as I say we came to save the Saint, the man understands something and tries to threaten us.

However, such threats mean nothing to us.

"You're stupid. The Saint's personal safety has long been under control. Why did you kidnap the Saint?"

"That's because that Saint left the country all nonchalantly without an escort and used her power. That power is useful after all. In recent years, famine has spread in our country due to poor harvests, water shortages, and Stampedes. That's why I caught her to use her in my country ... Hey, what!? Why is this me talking so frankly?"

The man obediently confesses at my words. I turn my gaze to Rei and wink.

That's how it is.

Rei's mental skills are scary ...

I make up my mind not to do anything strange.

"It's fine. Don't mess with the Saint in the future. If you break your promise, you'll regret it at that moment. Besides, you guys didn't know anything until we attacked. Isn't that right?"

"A, ahh ..."

When I tell the man while intimidating him, he is frightened and manages to divulge his reply.

"We can monitor your every move, infiltrate your location and send you to the afterlife without being detected. We also have data on the evil deeds you guys have done so far. Do you know what that means?"

"I, I got it ... I, I swear I will never touch the Saint again."

I continue to press while threatening that we hold his life and the life of the country in our hands.

"Right. There will be no next time. Don't do bad things again."

"Y, yes. As you command ..."

For some reason, the man suddenly uses keigo.(TN:Keigo is extremely polite speech.)

"We're always watching you. Understood?"

"Y, yes. Of course."

"I believe what you said is not a lie. I hope we never see each other again."

Then, after listening to a little more detailed story, I warn him one last time and disappear from the man's sight. I'm actually just hidden in the shadows.

"Is that the rumored Letokia covert force ...?"

"Won!"

"Hii!!?"

After the man talks to himself, having Luck threaten him by barking once is surprisingly effective for the man.

"I'm watching ... Is that what you mean ..."

The man understands what we are saying and slumps his shoulders.

After seeing the situation, we transfer to Noelle.

I think it's only a matter of time before the man hears that important facilities and military facilities all over the country have fallen and his face is dyed in despair.
