The Swordsman Called the Countless Swords Sorcerer

As the grinder squadron headed west through the grassland, it began searching in squads, mainly in areas where there was much sightings.

"Is this okay?"

Ted says, looking up at the blue sky above his head. Byakuya The party of "Mystery" was walking slowly in the assigned search area, looking for the shadow of the grinder.

"Ah, that's right. No way, I'll try to challenge the monster ... I'll laugh."

Norris agrees with a laugh.

Not only Norris, but Aldis had the same feeling. A grinder with incomparable power, such as a disparse bearing the desert of the prairie.

For the overwhelming power, the lord prepared over 400 people. That's not a small number. However, gathering miscellaneous soldiers against monster opponents-especially flying monsters-makes little sense.

`` No magician, most soldiers are young people who have no experience in combat, and it is impossible for commanders to fight decently, so defeating monsters is a bad joke. ''

Orphelia agrees with Ted shrugging his fingers.

"Really, I'm overlooking the strength of demons."

Number is power in battle. It doesn't change even with the demon opponent. Even if each person gets only a small scratch, the larger the number, the more damage will be done.

However, numbers work effectively only when people with a certain level of ability gather. No matter how many people can't even be scratched, the damage done to their opponent remains zero.

Rather, it is only a disadvantage in terms of inhibiting the movement of allies. Only mercenaries, such as not bringing a magician to a stupid opponent, are too many recruits who have never seen combat in Ardis's view. It's just a matter of increasing the number of victims, such as fighting demons in such a formation.

"If you're going to make up for the quality with numbers, you'll need at least twice as much now? As far as the quality of the soldiers is concerned, it will take about three squads at a time and half a sacrifice will be enough to close Yeah. "

As Ted says, Ardis's idea is a little different.

If Aldis is a commander, keep soldiers out of spears. The army will consist of half soldiers with large shields and bows and will operate at least fifty or platoon units. In any case, soldiers can't damage monsters. It is better to concentrate on defense and restraint from the beginning, and after finding the grinder, fight back and reduce sacrifices until the other units arrive to cheer. You only have to deal with the demon opponents who are used to mercenaries. There will be no need to exhaust soldiers in unfamiliar battles.

Swords In fact, the soldiers Aldis saw weren't nearly as good as grinders or even as spares.

"But the lords seem to be willing to win. Some platoon leaders say they don't need mercenary power."

"Isn't it too hard to train because you're too trained? Even the beast king will be annihilated!"

Ted talks wildly to Norris, who speaks in a tone similar to that of another person.

"Well, this is because the number of beast kings has decreased in the first place."

Norris laughed with a clear expression.

"Yes, I know you want to complain, but I'm contracting it out for you. Let's play the assigned role."

"I know, Orphelia. Work is work."

No matter how you say it in your mouth, you have to do your job well. With Ted taking the lead, the Aldis and the others went on the grassland, guarding the air.

The fact that the number of dispares and beast kings has decreased does not mean that the grasslands are completely without danger. In addition to the rampant dispares, there are carnivores like Green Knife, Coyote, and Grass Wolf.

"I went there, Aldis!"

Ted's warning flies. The Aldiss are now fighting the Coyote swarm they encountered.

Coyote is a small canine carnivore. It is a slightly lower beast than the beast king, but it has a different danger from the beast king in that its fangs are sharp and form a flock.

Aldis directs a short sword, suspended in the air, to the body of the oncoming coyote, and cuts his neck before jumping.

Behind them were two coyotes wrapping around. But without Aldis turning around, Nere stood in front of the coyotes. When Nere shakes his arms, the ice needles created in the air are sucked into the coyotes.

The coyotes crumble with a loud noise. The eight attacking coyotes were reaped by the Aldis and had no time to withdraw from the situation.

"Hey, Aldis just pushes the drums.

Children's play "This is the same thing"

Nere answers Ted in a timid tone.

"Well, hey, a little you! You didn't sing right now! What kind of thing? Maybe you can use magic without chanting like Aldis?"

"Chant? What's that?"

"What!?"

Orferia and Nere are hitting each other with question marks.

For Orphelia, I can't seem to hide the surprise of using magic by skipping chanting like Aldis, and for Nere, it seems that I can not understand the question itself. There is no help for it because the roots of common sense are different from each other.

Despite Orphelia's head-holding, Ted humiliates.

"Isn't this temporary member just a waste of money? Why don't you join our party with Aldis?"

"I only obey the Lord. If my Lord acts with you, I will go with you."

"Ahaha. The master-slave setting seems to be serious. I'm sorry."

Nere glared at Norris with a teasing tone. A woman who introduced herself as soon as she met, saying, "My name is Nere. I am the servant of my Lord Aldis."

In that way, Aldis and others continue to search for grinders, kicking off occasionally beasts.

"I really need only Zako"

Walking around the meadow for half a day, you will only encounter green knives, coyotes and grass wolf. Not only the dispares, but even the beast king, have not shown them. How unusual the hunts of Aldis and Nere are, this situation will give an indication.

"Hey Ted, why don't we have lunch?"

"Hmm? Oh, it's already such a time"

The grinder has not yet appeared. Other mercenaries and territories may have been encountered, but at least Aldis had not been contacted. As long as there is no contact, the search will proceed on the premise that it has not been discovered yet. You can't leave your place without permission.

In that sense, there are various problems with this defeat. It is possible that at this moment some squad is engaged in the grinder, but the Aldis who are unaware of it cannot go to support.

If you find it, you'll probably want to send a signal, but when you actually go into combat, you probably won't have time to do such a leisurely task. Squads with only general soldiers can even be wiped out in no time.

Of course, that doesn't mean that the Ardiss have the authority to say so. The only thing they can do is to fulfill the given role.

"So, do you want to take a break under that tree?"

Ted points to a nearby tree. Despite the grassland, there are some places where trees grow. The shade beside the highway is a natural resting place, a valuable haven for hunting mercenaries and traveling peddlers.

"Hey Aldis. It's bad, can you get the water out? The water bottle is empty."

"If I am"

Whitefish Produces water from hands like Nere faster than Aldis answers.

"Mumumu……"

Orphelia was staring at it. For her, another man who used Aldis to use magic without chants appeared. It will not be calm inside.

"Hey, Orphea too.

The swordsman Ted can't tell the sorrow of a magician who has overturned the common sense. Next to Orphelia, holding her head with her eyebrows, Ted and Norris cling to the bread with carefree roasted meat.

"My Lord, the food is warm."

"No, that's why I'm saying that I don't have to heat it up because I eat it myself."

"Although it is the outdoors, it is the shame of the servant to provide mainly cold food. Isn't it the main vessel to receive and eat silently?"

"Even no one asked ..."

Throughout the break, Nere takes care of Aldis, frustratingly. He creates a magical cover over his head, blocks the trees from leaking, hands out the warm bread when Aldis's hands are available, and gives cold water in between. It was just a servant serving the master.

Ted, who was looking at the bread from one side, muttered without anyone.

"Well, what you're doing is certainly not invisible to your servant ..."

"But I've never seen anyone with such a blunt tone, but I"

Norris poured cold bread with water and looked into the water bottle, saying, "What? Aldis, who is in service, is not comfortable complaining, but she wants to focus her efforts on something else.

Conversely, it means that you can afford it. As a matter of fact, as long as you don't even encounter a grinder, this search line is much like a picnic for the Aldis.

Soon after finishing his meal, Aldis tried to lie down with a "sleep after meal", but Ted and his men weren't willing to allow it, and they resumed searching for grinders.

That said, what you do is no different than in the morning. He walked lightly on the meadow, sometimes treating coyote and green knives.

Eventually, the streets begin to appear on the way to Aldis and others.

"If you go to the highway as it is, you go a little south along the highway and then return to the east, right?"

"Yes, go east and join the commander's main unit, and today's search is over."

Norris answers Orphelia.

"A lot of people are on the highway"

As he approached the turnaround, Aldis noticed that there were more shadows than expected.

"Because grinders of grinders have spread so far. Haven't the peddlers and caravans who stayed on the streets begun to move all at once? Now the soldiers of the army are scattered throughout the grasslands, Bandits will also be hard to move. ''

Looking into the map, beside Norris, the members of "Mystery of the White Night" exchange words with a relaxed expression.

"Well done, finally it's half. It wouldn't make a lot of money, but sometimes this kind of laid-back job is good."

"That's right. The weather is nice and comfortable, and above all I feel comfortable."

Aldis agrees with that point. But in his case, he does not want to engage with the territory unnecessarily.

"I'd like you to come out to the grinder quickly. Well, it's good for a day or so, but I'm sorry to be restrained by this for many days. I'm sleepy."

"It's always sleepy, right?"

Orphelia says outright.

"Okay, don't say that, Aldis. Look, look at me. The shadow of a bird going on ---?

With his arms around Aldis's shoulders, Ted's eyebrows wrinkled between her eyes. In front of my eyes, there was a bird-like shadow gliding gently above the sky.

"" Killer Bird "..."

"I don't think it's even a 'watcher'."

Nere points out calmly from behind the two squinting eyes.

"Is that not a grinder?"
