Chapter 568
His face may have been known due to the Soha Sinore incident, but even so, the montage is only a montage.
Since I have to go through the process of comparing it with the distributed pictures anyway, unless I’ve seen it myself, the reaction will be delayed.
So, even if you do end up fighting, it’s better to take it to the range and then ambush it. If you keep your distance and they shoot something like a signal flare, it will be a headache.
“I’ll cooperate! But I have no intention of resisting, so I’d like you to come with your weapon behind as much as possible!”
After making that decision, he raised his arms without hesitation and did not forget to add a reasonable request.
These are people who happened to meet by chance in the vast territory of demons. It would seem strange to welcome ignorance after hearing the word demon army. Still, to pretend to be vigilant, Este was released next to her, and a positive response came back.
“…i get it!”
Fortunately, the person speaking from the other side does not seem to be a person who is completely blocked. They obediently complied with my request, and before long they cautiously approached at a noticeably reduced speed and stood in front of us.
To be honest, the texture isn’t very good.
First of all, there are too many of them to be a mere patrol. Seeing that there is not even a single horse, it seems that they are running around on foot, but I don’t know how the Humans are, but the fact that the demons run on their own means that they have a better level of skill than riding a normal horse.
Ten such Demon Lords.
To say that we met by chance, it’s subtle because we tried to get out of their area of activity as much as possible.
Although there are very subtle differences in what they are wearing, the Demon King’s uniforms that I have seen on the front line match. Actually, that alone was the same as the end of the proof, but I didn’t bother to open my mouth to see their reaction.
Then, the man who seemed to be the captain took out a scroll from my chest and opened it and opened his mouth.
“Due to the nature of the operation and unit, I want you to understand that it is impossible to reveal specific affiliation. Instead, I will show you an official document.”
It was a distance where it was still hard to see what was written on it, but in the official documents of the Demon King’s Army, that wasn’t important anyway. It is important that the patterns engraved on the paper are dimly shining as if they were printed.
A few glances through cities made it easy to tell that what he was holding was real. As we checked the documents and gave a small nod, the one who put them back in his arms asked a question as he moved his gaze to the werewolf corpses around the camp.
“Are you the ones who have been moving while catching nearby monsters?”
A completely unexpected type of question.
As soon as I heard that we had traced our traces, Carl Kansi, who was still acting naturally while holding back the tension in his eyebrows, responded.
“That’s true… but is there anything wrong with adventurers hunting monsters?”
“It can’t be. It’s just trying to make a living, so there’s nothing strange about it. But…”
The guy’s eyes, which had been slowly and painstakingly examining the corpse as if dismembering it, turned to us as if he was very suspicious.
“It’s a bit strange to move around without taking any loot that could prove that you’ve defeated a monster.”
And after hearing his words, we pretended to be as calm as possible and exchanged glances.
No one thought this would happen.
To be honest, I wasn’t even paying attention. In the first place, tracking us along the traces was unexpected, so it can’t be said that anyone was careless.
It was embarrassing, but fortunately, as soon as they intuited that it was a situation that no one expected this time, one thousand and one Eldmia desperately came up with wisdom.
“In the first place, the purpose was not to subdue monsters, so we had to hurry up. There was no time to capture.”
It may seem obvious and awkward, but it is the most perfect answer. The man who was presumed to be the captain of the Demon King’s army actually heard my answer, but he couldn’t refute it even though he opened his eyes.
“Will it still be money?”
I just float based on a feeling of incomprehensible reason.
It was to the point of wondering why the monsters that were just passing by were questioned so much, but the answer came first.
“That’s true, but if it’s impossible to dispose of it before it decays, it’s just baggage. If you’ve followed our trail, you’ll know that it’s hard to dispose of all of them on time.”
If there is one thing in common with the things we caught ourselves, it is that they are already rotten or will soon rot. If it could be disposed of via the city, it would be nothing more than baggage from the point of view of having to navigate this outback.
“Is that really all? I just caught the monsters I ran into while passing by?”
“Could there be any other reason than that?”
At first, the purpose was to just pass by finely… but it took his reaction.
Wouldn’t it be comfortable for them if they robbed the monsters? Even if you move with utmost care and care, it is a place that is annoying enough to encounter monsters without fail. If you are a scout who has to leave a safe garrison from time to time in the skirt width of the boundary crystal, you won’t be unaware of that fact.
But for some reason, the question he asked now was closer to the feeling that he was tracking those who killed monsters, rather than the feeling that he was simply chasing uninvited guests wandering around the camp of the Demon King’s Army.
When I mentioned another reason, I became more suspicious when I saw the other guy who flinched slightly and stopped while trying to fix his weapon.
“Are there any reasons why you shouldn’t kill monsters around here?”
So, I threw the bait while maximizing my five senses strengthened by dragon blood.
“…That can’t be the case. What is the reason not to kill monsters?”
The answer is late. The upper eyelids twitched very briefly, as if in spasm. For some reason, the posture that was changed very minutely while acting natural seemed to have been moved so that it was easy to kick the sword at any moment.
Now, let’s work one more time, little Eldmians. Demon King. monster. tracker. What does this have to do with such a reaction?
“Well, if there’s something that bothers you more, it can be, right? For example…” What
suddenly flashed through my mind was an ogre who had been trading with the demon lord and the remnants of a dead evil god that had been steadily going on until now.
“…for example?”
“Something that resurrects dead monsters into undead is spreading around…”
Hearing the chuimsae of the guy who seemed to be the captain, he suddenly looked at the Demon King’s army again.
It’s definitely not in very clean condition. Tracking us is covered in dust, body odor, and sweat. The mud on the shoes still smells damp amidst the tangled mash of leaves.
But for some reason, there was no smell of blood from those who followed us. All I could feel was the subtle scent of oil from a well-maintained weapon.
“Otherwise… the demon army has intentionally managed the monsters we killed?”
Swords can be like that, but judging from their skills that I feel now, it’s ridiculous that not a single drop of blood splattered while slashing the monsters.
They never fought a battle while chasing us.
“Hahaha, that’s an interesting story.”
“Isn’t that right? Even werewolves appear, so I just threw them in. Those aren’t naturally occurring monsters, are they?”
The appearance of these guys, who hadn’t shown any laughter in previous conversations, burst into forced laughter as the story about the monsters progressed and moved quietly, proving that their backs were dirty.
Noticing that, I pretended to be okay and smiled and measured the distance from the esthetician I had put down earlier.
“Come to think of it, it’s an interesting story, so there was a story I picked up during the trip. Are you interested?”
“Lately… I haven’t had a lot of fun. Would you like to hear about it?”
The guy called the captain was always calm, but it’s awkward to be like that. If the guys behind me did that, I’d have thought it was just the mindset of a skilled scout.
“It’s already been a few weeks ago, but I met a person who said he was running away from the mass movement of the Church while passing by the Ribear for a while.”
“…that’s interesting.”
Pretending to listen, the captain slightly narrowed the distance, and the other guys naturally widened their encirclement and approached accordingly.
Pretending not to know, just trying to move your foot in the direction of Este is followed by the gazes of other guys except for the captain. They were also talented. Even some are already raising their horsepower.
Enmity is certain.
Carl Kansi, who can’t feel magic, has already noticed the atmosphere, and Emmet is sitting on his cloak and resting his chin on the cane he naturally held, preparing for a collision.
It must be my role as a surprise expert.
“They were attacked by monsters while moving along the church and ran away without food, so let’s share water and food and listen to the story…” “
Wait.”
Surprisingly, it was the captain who interrupted me, who had been speaking casually while contemplating how to start reducing their head count.
“…A flying dragon?”
“yes?”
He was looking up at the sky over my head, not at me, but it didn’t happen that I broke his neck. that’s not natural He’s probably the one with the most information, so it’s right to keep him alive, right?
At first, I almost laughed at it, thinking it was an unreasonable trick, but when I confirmed that even the eyes of those who were widening their eyes as if they were going to pull out their swords at any moment followed him to the sky, I couldn’t hold back my curiosity and looked back after them.
“…why is that here?”
It wasn’t just a flying dragon.
I said this because the flying dragon is not only a flying dragon I know well, but also flying away holding a dog I know well, like a hawk snatching prey and flying away.
What was caught in the enhanced field of view was a car and a Leica, which he hadn’t seen in a long time.
