256 Chapter 17-15 The Monster Team

What's wrong, Aida?

It's an emergency! Come with me! "

Primera tried to ask Aida about the situation, but Aida grabbed Primera's arm before she answered and told him to call me by my name.

"Okay, but wait a minute.Grandpa! Grandpa will meet Jeanne and the others in the carriage to Knights headquarters. "

Hmm. We'll be on our way as soon as we're ready.

When I left my grandfather's bag containing Lyden and the carriage, he went outside.Jeanne is giving water to Amur, who was drinking alcohol.

Well then, let's go.

What?

Primera and Ida thought it was faster to wait for the carriage to be ready, but there was a faster way.

"Both of you, stay still!"

Noooooo!

Holding them aside, I flew through the darkened skies of Gungjo. Do your best.

"Arrived... we're both here"

"Please, stop suddenly...."

"It feels so good... eh..."

It was a one-minute journey in the sky, but suddenly and unexpectedly, they were drunk because of unfamiliar movements and posture.

"Well, anyway, what the hell happened?"

"Ugh!... come on, there must be a Captain General there!"

Ida, who seemed to be in great shape, pulled Primera and me into the Knights, just as she did in the Full Abdominal Pavilion.And before they took him,

"It's terrible....."

"What the hell happened?"

In the square inside the Knights' headquarters, there were many knights in blood-dyed army clothes.Fortunately, there aren't any dead, but it's only a matter of time.

"Immediately heal with magic!We start with the dangerous, so who should we treat first? "

"It's Simon. Simon is the one with the most scars!"

"Captain Simon is over there. We're gathering serious people in there!"

Ida answered my question immediately, pointing out that the knight nearby was Simon and other serious people.The knights who are obviously unfamiliar with the treatment are also helping with the treatment because of the lack of manpower.I wonder if the medics alone can't keep up with the treatment.

I immediately checked for serious injuries, including Simon, and began a series of healing magic and first aid procedures.If it was true, I wanted to focus on my magic individually, but it was certainly too late for some of the people here, so I decided to close the wound first.

"Primera! There's a healing pill in this bag, so I want you to split each one of the severely injured with a number five!In the meantime, I'll see what else I can do! "

Got it!

A dozen people who were classified as seriously ill escaped the crisis for the time being with a series of healing magic.While still in need of medical attention, we decided to temporarily leave it to the Primeras to see if there were any knights elsewhere needing urgent medical attention.

"Tenma, what happened!"

"Grandpa! I don't know the details, but for now, please join me in treating the seriously injured.Jeanne, Aura! Distribute the medicine to the healing knights!Amur and Leni... and Lily need the help of the knights! "

I gave instructions to the grandpas who arrived a little late before explaining.Grandpa can also use healing magic, and since he has more magic and experience than others, the healing will proceed at once.And Jeanne and Aura always have a lot of medicine, and Leni will be able to help with her work injuries.I was surprised that Lily and the others were here, but the three of them are adventurers, so I'm sure they've been through all the treatment for their injuries.Amur... if he works hard, he should be strong enough.

Normally, an outsider would not make a good face, but there were no knights who were particularly concerned because of the emergency, because the Knights asked for help, and because they were familiar with each other.Well, I couldn't afford to worry about it.

As soon as the grandpas arrived, the knights who were not on duty also gathered, so the manpower gathered enough, and the treatment of the seriously injured was almost all right.

"Mr. Tenma! The General wants you here!"

As soon as I got there, General Alan called me.I just had to explain it to my grandfather, and I decided to have him follow me as one of my representatives.

"Lord Tenma Ootori, Lord Marlin Ootori. Thank you for your help this time."

As soon as he entered the room, Alan stood up, lowered his head and thanked him.

So, what caused this? Was it like we were at war? "

Though it may be small in scale, it seemed convincing to me that it was a field hospital during the war.And that seems to be the best reason Alan called us in, and he's got a tougher face than before.

"Actually, the (...) monster appeared"

That monster must be the same person as Caius.But just because that monster appeared, I don't think that's enough damage.

"I know what you're trying to say. Whatever it takes, the Knights of Gungjo aren't weak enough to get there."

"I mean, multiple monsters appeared."

If that monster had been created by someone else, it could have been expected to appear multiple at the same time.We guessed from Alan's story that this incident was unfortunate enough to meet that expectation... but it was actually a matter of more than that.

"Firstly, five monsters appeared.Two of them attacked from behind the Knights.Take a few monsters with you. "

I thought there were two or at most three of them because they were multiple, but in fact they were nearly twice as many, and it was shocking that they even took strategic action to carry out an ambush.And a few of them were monsters.

Summarizing the incident, Simon took half of his squad (2nd Squad) and half of his 1st Squad to the outskirts for training, and on his way back he found a suspicious trio.Several knights came to investigate the three men, and the three fled.For that reason, about half of the Knights pursued the siege, and two monsters from behind the Knights staged an ambush with the monsters. At the same time, the three surrounding monsters rampaged, causing chaos.

Since the monsters thought to have the strength of several knights ambushed and rampaged in cooperation with the monster, it seems that the Knights were pushed from the beginning of the war.Among them, Simon kept shouting as he was trained that a few of them would hit each other and managed to cut down one of the monsters, but he was spotted as the center of the unit and severely wounded by a concentrated attack.

Just after Simon was badly wounded, he succeeded in placing his hands on the second monster, and the monsters retreated because half the remaining knights ran.When he ran away, the monster stopped the knights, and the monsters took on deep-handed companions and fled, showing intelligent movements that were incomparable to those of Caius.

"Grandpa, what if Grandpa wants to heal his wounds and get tired?"

"Well, do you want to take a break or eat?"

So, what about the monster?

"It's the same... I wonder if the temper would do the same to that monster?"

"I suppose, but I think it's possible because the body is supposed to be almost the same as a human being."

"We are thinking the same thing as Lord Tenma.And unfortunately, there are some villages ahead of the monster.I sent the rest of the 1st and 2nd squadrons as a crusader, but honestly, I don't think I can defeat them without causing any damage. "

Despite the ambush, dozens of knights were badly wounded.Besides, it can't be judged that there are no monsters just by looking at the village from the outside, so it will definitely take some time.It would be impossible not to do harm in such a situation.It might be better to crush monsters with the destruction of one or two villages, and the worst case scenario is that even with that kind of damage, the monsters will escape.

"Grandpa, let's go crusade!If we fly through the sky, we may be able to defeat monsters before they cause damage! "

"Well, before you do, show me a map of the village's location and topography."

"I already have it."

Alan spread out the map that had been rounded up and put the stone so that the location of Gungjo and the village could be easily understood.

"I said five kilometers in the nearest village and 30 kilometers in the distance."

"The Enemy Squad is going the closest way.Then maybe I and the tempura should go around from far away. "

In the meantime, let's go with the plan.Primera, my grandfather and I are going to fly like this, so I left it to Jeanne and the others to explain.And tell them to use the golem in their judgment. "

"Okay, Tenma and Merlin... please be careful, Grandpa."

"Thank you, Lord Tenma and Lord Merlin.Also, Primera, although she is resigning her body-head close to being discharged, she is given the same authority as a captain due to an emergency situation.I will assign Aida, who also has the authority to be a lieutenant captain, so in the unlikely event that something happens, I need you to lead my unit. "

Yes, sir!

In addition to Primera, there may be other knights who can act on behalf of the Captain, but in the unlikely event that such knights have to be on the front lines, it would mean placing Primera on top of the Knights, who is a former but experienced Captain.

Well then, be careful with Primera.

The Primeras escorted me and my grandfather out of the Knights courtyard.

"So, Tempa, is it going to be the farthest village, or is it going to be two or three villages away from the mob?"

The mob is headed for one of the villages.

"Does Tenma think the second village is dangerous?"

"No, I think it's the third or the fourth most likely, but I don't think it's going to take long just to find the monster, so I'm just going to search from where the Knights aren't turning."

I think the nearest village is unlikely to have the most monsters lurking.Because if you have enough intelligence to strategize, it is not strange to think that the nearest village will come first.However, the nearest village is thought to have already been attacked, but in that case the monster would no longer be in the village.

"I know why, but how do we find it?Instead, you might want to split up. "

Grandpa was convinced to explore from the second village, but he suggested that it would be better to split the village into two, more like the second and third villages and the fourth and fifth villages.

"No, my magic has a magic called 'Exploration' to explore the surroundings, so I use it to search for monsters.With that magic, you can explore a radius of 10 km, so it only takes a little time to reach a village.So I think we should act together. "

"Hmm, did you have a reason to say that... well, listen to the magic and the other magic... I'll leave the search for the monster to you, and I'll follow you gently."

That said, Grandpa lowered his position slightly to follow me.

And when you get past the mob and you see the third village,

"Grandpa, I found four monsters, no sign of a monster nearby!Two of them are at war with the villagers!There are no dead yet! "

Well then, let's stick it in!

The monsters who are not fighting the villagers seem to be eating in the livestock hut.Fortunately, it seems like cattle, not people, were sacrificed, but it is only a matter of time before sacrifices are made to the villagers.It looks like we've just started fighting now, so if we hurry, there won't be any dead.

So I tried to interrupt between the monster and the villagers, but at the next moment the villagers were all thrown away.

"Grandpa! I'll distract the monster, let the monster go!"

Got it!

I slightly changed my maneuver, slowed it down, and magically generated light and sound directly above it.Well, light and sound are the levels that burn the retina and tear the tympanic membrane if they occur nearby.

As the two monsters were approaching the villagers, they stopped moving in surprise at the light and sound. In the gap, they were blown by the livestock hut with their grandfather's body, and the other was beaten with a staff.Grandpa must have backlit because of my magic. He was in an unprotected position.

"Tempura, the cabin, please!I'll crush it! "

The one who was pointed out was the one who was beaten with a cane. He couldn't fly as far away as he didn't have the momentum. Moreover, his strength had also dropped (there was still enough power for ordinary people to be incapable of fighting), so he stood up while fluttering and stared at his grandfather with his blade out.

Well then, I'm from the cabin.Before that, "Heels"... we were looking for that monster at the request of the Knights of Gunjo.If you can move, stay back! "

The injured villagers were given healing magic and instructed to stand back.And then he pulled out the little Karasuma and turned his body toward the livestock hut.

Gruuuhhhhhhh!

While destroying the hut, a blown monster popped out.

"Now that you have four arms... are you free to increase or restore them?Well, now it's three. "

The monster who attacked me with two to four arms, was immediately cut off by me and turned into three.

"But will it grow again... I knew it would be troublesome... so how long are the remaining two going to be hiding?"

The chopped arms, like Caius, soon grew new.

I approached the monster in trouble and called out to the other two who were hiding in the half-destroyed hut, but they still didn't want to show up.

"I can't help it!"

I wondered if there might be some sort of operation, but when I filled the gap between the little Karasuma, the monster fell back in a hurry.

"Let me go... this is what you wanted to do!"

After one more step to chase, the two men who were hiding behind finally popped up.Maybe he wanted to surround me from the front and left and right sides in a fishing ambush.

From the monster's point of view, I thought I'd come up with a sophisticated plan, but the plan is failing when they know we're hiding.Well, if this is the normal opponent, and if we were able to take advantage of the power of monsters and literally a lot of trouble, we wouldn't lose first.It is a story of colors (...) and (...) meaning (...) taste (...), if they are "normal" counterparts.

"Actually... I also have four (...) arms."

As soon as the two left and right animals entered the range, they were hit simultaneously on the ground.The identity is "Guardian Gigant, the Guardian of the Giants."Giganto hit two of them with his fist from above.As a result, one of them seems to be on the verge of dying, but the other one died instantly with a broken nucleus in his chest.

Because the situation that I thought was dominant was turned over in an instant, the monster in front was solidified while exposing the dumb side.And in the next moment, I was divided into two parts.

"Tempura! We're done!"

My grandfather was finished when I killed two of them, and he came in with the body in his magic bag.

"We're almost done here.He's the only one left because they're completely dead. "

"Well, then, let's finish this.No matter how many monsters they are, killing them is a bad hobby. "

Grandpa says so and tells me to stab him, but I have a little idea and I'm still using monsters.

"Well, even if they say you have a bad hobby, there's only one thing I'd like to make sure of."

That said, I stabbed a little Karasuma in the arm of a monster that had recovered to a certain extent and gradually got bigger and bigger.The wound that came out like this closed in a few seconds after pulling out the little Karasuma, and recovered so that I didn't know where the wound was in less than a minute.

"Grandpa, did you see my wounds heal completely?"

"I've seen that... what are you doing?"

"Here's how it works."

To answer Grandpa's question, I cut open the center of the monster's chest with a little karasuma and dragged my hand out of the nucleus.

"What are you... soaking!"

When I pulled out the nucleus, the monster suffered and died quickly.

"Grandpa, the cause of his death is obviously not a chest wound, right?"

"Well, I suppose it's reasonable to assume that we lost the Magic Nucleus, not the wound."

"So you realized the weakness of this creature, which is highly regenerative, like an idiot?"

"Well, there are a lot of conditions, but it would be a good harvest to see what's clearly a weakness."

There are challenges that require technology to accurately target the Magic Nucleus or the ability to do so against monsters, but the weaknesses are still significant.If we can contain the movement of the monster in any way, we may be able to defeat it with a blow from a striking weapon like a hammer.

"Maybe we should stop talking about the monsters here and talk to the villagers about the injured and the damage."

I haven't been told to do that, but there are places where what happened in the Duke of Sanga's territory can't be said to be entirely human resources, and you can tell the Duke some of your requests directly.Well, I think it would be better not to go beyond your position as a (...) adventurer (...) who defeated monsters in Duke territory.

Afterwards, he healed the injuries of the villagers who had been attacked by monsters, told the village chief lightly and stabbed them with nails so as not to speak out (I was careful not to know what kind of judgment the Duke of Sanga would make.Instead, I promised to tell the Duke that I would pay for the repair of the livestock hut and the repair of the village) and leave the village and join the crusaders who would be heading towards us.

I reported the completion of the monster crusade to Santos, the 1st Battalion Captain who led the assassination team, and the silence on the village damage and monsters, and he took a detailed note of my conditions and the damage to the village.

I thought it was too much, but in an emergency and because I was the Duchess' fiancée (Primera), there would be no particular problem with that... or because Santos would have the right to punish me when I named the Duchess.

I took a note because it was necessary to put it on the Knights' report so that no wrongdoing could occur because I might misunderstand or tamper with the terms I gave them.

My grandfather and I, who broke up with the mob, slowed down rather than went back to the Knights' headquarters.At the Knights headquarters, there was a pretty tight alert, and I was ready to deploy anytime, but when Grandpa and I returned, the tension between the crew eased slightly, and Alan told me that the monster crusade had been completed, the tight alert was lifted and half of the crew was disbanded.The remaining half went back to take care of the injured and to do their usual work (walking around the city and guarding).

"Mr. Tenma, Mr. Merlin, are you hurt?"

"No, I smashed it with a gigantic."

Me neither. It was just me, and I didn't seem to be such a strong individual... is that okay with you, Grandpa? "

Grandpa wanted to call me out, but since Primera was not used to it yet, she couldn't call me unconscious, so she said she would be careful from now on.

"And Jeanne and Amur?"

"Jeanne and Aura are getting help preparing their evening meal and treating them.Lily and the others are returning to the Adventurers Guild to have the Guild Leader report the incident and help us if anything happens.Amur is asleep. "

Jeanne's instructions were convincing, but Amur was notified of help outside the force? I thought,

"Shame on you, Tenma and Mar... Amur is one of the greatest fighters in the city of Gungjo without your uncle, including the Knights.If anything happens, you'll be on the front line, so I decided to take a break just in case, rather than asking you to help me with something I don't like.I just didn't think you'd fall asleep.... "

Golem (three Knights of Primera, two Scorpions of Jeanne and Aura), like Surrin and the others, said Amur was able to fight monsters by himself, but he was also able to collaborate with anyone (meaning that he could communicate with people in words), so he kept his health.Well, I wasn't expecting to sleep in this tense situation, but there's no difference in health conservation, so I'm letting him sleep.

"Because there is no imminent problem, can Amur stay like this?I'm going to be busy tomorrow, so I'll go to bed.I'll put a carriage in the corner, so wake me up if anything happens. "

Tomorrow will probably be a debriefing, including the Guild Chiefs.The Duke of Sanga or Albert will be here in a few days, so I think I'll have to report it to you.Even so, it's troublesome... I'm supposed to be busy, but in the meantime, I have to put my face to Felt's place and put on a costume.

"Primera is ready, so rest well when you can.Or you can always count on me. "

"Yes, I understand. Now, let me rely on you."

Yeah?

Walking out to sleep, Primera grabbed my arm like she said she wouldn't let go. Such a primera.

"The Guild Leader is already waiting for you.I have a meeting with the Adventurers Guild, so please join me as one of the leaders. "

That said, I pointed out the guild leader who seemed to be in a bad mood.

"The Guild Leader is in a very bad mood when he says he's been robbed of his time with Mr. Flute and Mr. Hart.I want you to come home as soon as possible, so I'm sure you're tired, but please... "

Primera said with a troublesome face, so I decided to join the discussion without saying no.It should be noted that the other crusader

"I didn't just follow the temper's instructions, I was resting."

He ran away from the discussion, took the carriage from me, and went to sleep.Incidentally, the debriefing and discussion lasted until the morning, and finally ended, and the crusaders came back a few hours later, so (Grandpa) was aroused, and for some reason he was given the title of 'Second Crusader Captain' to participate in the second discussion.
